Two hundred and sixteen plums
Zhao Shuang stared at the red fruit that the boy ate and stopped.
When the boy found Zhao Shuang's gaze, he was a little frightened, and astringently hid behind the middle-aged woman, for fear that his fruit would be snatched away by this stranger.
Zhao Shuang walked towards the two.
The middle-aged woman also found Zhao Shuang, looked at her vigilantly and said, "What do you want to do?" ”
Zhao Shuang said: "Where did the fruit in the child's hand come from?" ”
"What's the matter with you?" The middle-aged woman glared at Zhao Shuang unkindly, pulled the boy and said, "Go, go home, be careful that the kidnappers kidnap you away, my mother doesn't have the ability to have another son!" ”
Zhao Shuang was in the spirit of **, and said to the back shadow of the mother: "It's better not to eat that fruit!" ”
Phew-
The middle-aged woman closed the door.
In patriarchal societies, patriarchal preference is common, and even in modern society, patriarchal preference still exists.
Zhao Shuang can't control it.
Hu Jingyun said, "Master, what's wrong with the fruit?" I look like plums. ”
"It's a plum, but it's a plum that has been infected with an unknown substance."
"What substance?" Hu Jingyun's curiosity was aroused.
"It's the things in Du Sanniang's wine, the things that will expel people's luck. Let's take a walk and see how many similar things there are in this warm state. ”
The substances contained in the plums to expel luck are much thinner than those in Du Sanniang's wine, but they are a little more than the stuff in the buns made by the wife of the jailer Fang that she ate in prison before.
Du Sanniang's wine is only aimed at individual people, absorbing their luck, at most, those ticket customers are unlucky, so it doesn't have much impact, but if the food for ordinary people begins to spread widely, this is not ordinary, and this has evolved into depriving the human race of luck.
The two walked forward, and after walking a short distance, there was a market, and the street was full of all kinds of souvenirs for sale.
On a conspicuous stall were four or five baskets of round fruits, some red and some green, obviously plums.
Zhao Shuang walked over to confirm that these plums really contained the kind of substance that expelled luck.
The plum seller was an old man, Zhao Shuang stared at him for a long time, and he didn't see that it was a fox spirit, an old man or an old man.
Could it be that he is old, so his deeds are profound?
The old man smiled and said to Zhao Shuang, who was staring at him for a while: "Little girl, the old man has no flowers on his face, do you want to buy some plums?" There are sweet and sour, what kind of flavor you like. ”
Zhao Shuang looked down at a few baskets of plums and asked, "This is the tree you planted yourself?" ”
The old man shook his head and said: "It's not planted by us, it's the wild plums that I picked in the Manwu Mountains in the north of the city in the morning, this taste is much stronger than my own home-raised, the little girl tastes one." The old man said as he reached out and took out one from a basket of green plums and handed it to Zhao Shuang.
Zhao Shuang hurriedly waved his hand and retreated, avoiding a snake and scorpion beast.
The old man laughed: "This plum is very sweet and not poisonous." ”
Zhao Shuang thought for a while and said, "Can this plum be sold cheaply?" ”
The old man said: "Cheap, how much does the little girl want?" ”
"I want it all, how much cheaper?"
The old man was stunned: "All wanted?" ”
Zhao Shuang nodded.
The old man was overjoyed: "Originally, it was sold for four cents a catty, but if the little girl wants it all, she will give you three cents a catty." But little girl, you can't eat too many plums. Haven't you heard the saying that peaches raise people, apricots hurt people, and plum trees carry dead people? ”
Zhao Shuang nodded: "I didn't eat it myself, you can send it to the March restaurant for me, how much is it in total." ”
After settling the money, the old man hung all the baskets of plums on the flat pole and went to the restaurant for delivery in March.
The villagers who set up stalls around were envious, they sold all the things so early, and the old man made a fortune today.
