Chapter 43: Selling Pomegranates
"What else do you have to say now? Don't talk nonsense without figuring things out in the future! Wang twisted his face and glared at Sun.
Sun snorted reluctantly and muttered in a low voice, "Who knows if what she said is true or not?" ”
"What did you say?" Wang's gaze sharpened a little.
is also a person from Peach Blossom Village, she has always looked down on this Sun family, every day the east and west families are short, and even their own children are too lazy to clean up, and they can't bury them.
"I said, what do you mean to stop now? I'm still in a hurry to get to town! Sun rolled his eyes, resolutely coaxed, and shouted at the old man who was rushing to the car.
In Peach Blossom Village, in addition to the village family, the last thing she wants to offend is this Wang family, not to mention the spicy people, the man she marries also has the ability, and she has many brothers, and she has never been able to please this person.
"Okay, let's go!"
"Wait a minute!" Wang shouted at the old man who was driving the car, turned his head to look at Ye Zhen and said, "Girl, get on the ox cart and rest for a while." ”
"Really, your grandmother is so ruthless that she made you two little babies carry such a heavy thing! You're just getting sick, but if you're tired, how can you get it? ”
Adults make ox carts for two pennies, but children only use one penny to make ox carts, and Zhao is reluctant to pay even two pennies?
"They have money? If you don't have money, don't you want to sit in vain? Besides, there is no place on the bullock cart anymore! Sun said impatiently.
"Oh, what you said is ugly, it's just two little babies, we can still make some room for squeezing!"
"That's it, that's it, it's all in the same village, and when you go out, you can take care of it."
"Come, girl, sit next to me." The other women in the ox cart began to talk when they heard this.
"As long as you can be a good person, you are really capable of helping them get the copper plate out?" Sun said angrily.
In an instant, there was silence on the ox cart......
Seeing this scene, Ye Hao smiled and said to the Wang family: "Auntie, no need, let's just sit on the side of the road and rest, you can go quickly." ”
"Oh, what are you polite to my aunt, come up, I will help you out of this car money, I don't want to see you two little babies tired and fall on the side of the road!" Wang waved his hand and said with a concerned expression.
It's hard to be gracious, but Ye Hao is not ready to take an ox cart, Sister Tao'er hasn't repaid her love for saving her before, and she is really embarrassed to owe the family favors in a row.
She hesitated, saw her brother's back basket behind her, a flash of brilliance flashed in her eyes, and she said, "How can we let my aunt pay for us?" ”
After speaking, he looked at the look on Wang's face, and smiled again: "I know that the eldest lady feels sorry for us, so I will be cheeky and put these two back baskets on the ox cart?" ”
Turning his head and saying to the old man who was driving the car: "These two back baskets, are they considered a penny?" ”
"Hey, it's just two back baskets, what kind of money is it!" The old man who drove the car was honest and honest.
They are all villagers, and it is not easy for two babies, so help if you can.
"Thank you so much...."
The two children were sensible, although they didn't get on the ox cart, but they finally reduced the burden, and the Wang family didn't insist anymore, with the sound of rolling wheels, Ye Hao and Ye Ming followed the ox cart, and the group walked towards the town.
..............
An hour later, the ox cart arrived in the town, and it was already dawn at this time, and as soon as the ox cart stopped, Ye Ming and the two took their respective baskets and carried them behind them.
The people sitting on the ox cart, after giving the cart money, also dispersed.
Only the Wang family chattered a few words with some anxiety before leaving: "Today is a big gathering, but there are many people in the town, you two babies should be careful." ”
"If you want to sell pomegranates, do you see that bluestone road? If you follow the road, you will soon reach the place, where most of the goods are sold. ”
"Thank you, auntie, we know." Ye Hao said with a smile.
Wang's suggestion can be said to have helped her a lot and saved her a lot of time.
"Okay, then I'll go first? If anything happens to you, you can go to the east end of town to find me! Wang said one more word of advice, and then turned to leave.
Ye Hao turned her head and said, "Brother, let's go too, shall we?" ”
"Hmm."
The town is not very big, the houses on both sides of the road, there are both blue brick houses, there are mud houses, the whole town only has two bluestone roads, and the rest are all yellow mud ground.
Perhaps because of the market, the town was already lively at this time, and many people randomly chose a place on the side of the road and began to sell their own things.
Ye Hao and the others followed the road that Wang had just pointed out to another more lively market, found a place, took out some pomegranates from the back basket and placed them on the ground.
After a while, there were people coming and going, but no one came to inquire.
Ye Hao looked at the people in the neighborhood, all of them had opened and sold a lot of things, but they were the only ones, not to mention selling, and they didn't even come up to ask.
glanced at my brother, who was still calm and expressionless, cough cough, it is estimated that it is not possible to count on my brother to sell, so I can only come by myself!
After thinking about the content of the sale in her heart, Ye Hao spoke: "Sell pomegranates!" Big and sweet pomegranate ~ two pennies for one, two for three pennies, first come, first pick, then no more.....! ”
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw his brother's stunned cheeks, turned his head and urged, "Brother, are you shouting too?" ”
No, I can't shout!
Ye Ming refused in his heart, but looking at his sister's expectant eyes, he pursed his lips and still spoke: "Sell pomegranate ......"
Ye Hao didn't laugh out loud, forget it, she did the arduous task of selling, and it was strange if she didn't scare the guests away with her brother's stiff voice.
"Ahem, brother, you should still look at the pomegranate...."She coughed twice and couldn't help laughing.
Ye Ming nodded expressionlessly, was he disgusted? It's disgusting, right? It must be, right?
"Sell pomegranates! Big and sweet pomegranate ~ two pennies for one, two for three pennies, first come, first pick, then no more.....! Ye Hao's crisp cry finally attracted passers-by.
Several women in muslin skirts came over and asked, "Why is your pomegranate so expensive?" I've just seen it elsewhere, but what about selling it for a penny? ”
"Is your pomegranate sweet? Is it tasty? ”
"Yo he, it looks pretty big, but I don't know if it's delicious?"
Ye Hao didn't rush to answer the question, but turned her head to Ye Ming and said, "Brother, you cut a pomegranate, cut a few more, forget it, I'll come." ”
The ordinary method of cutting pomegranates will cut a lot of pomegranate seeds in half, and people like my brother who have never eaten pomegranates are likely to cut them straight.
"No, you say, I'll do it." Ye Ming shook his head and refused.
The firewood knife in his hand is not small, what if his sister doesn't hurt himself?
