Chapter 6: Potatoes
After recuperating here for many days, the scars on her body are no longer so hideous, and her grandfather sent a little girl Qing'er to serve her, afraid that next time she will be bullied again, she didn't even report the news, and Jiang Li accepted it without refusing.
Qing'er came in from outside the door, her cheeks were red, she walked to Jiang Li, who was resting on the chaise longue, and said sweetly: "Miss, you are better, why don't we go out for a walk." Change the mood. ”
"Yes, that's fine." Jiang Li got down from the chaise longue and took a few sips of tea. Anyway, she didn't take a good look at the world after she came, so it's okay to go out and see.
On the street, people come and go, especially lively, and the sound of all kinds of shouting sounds is in Jiang Li's ears, and I miss it a little more.
Thinking of her previous life, she was so busy that she didn't have time to go shopping, she devoted all her time to studying, and worked hard when she entered the society, and finally had the opportunity to be high, but she was betrayed by the closest people.
Ay.
"Miss, you see it's a rock sugar gourd." Qing'er accompanied her out, but she was happier than her, excited like a child.
"Boss, two strings of rock sugar gourds." Jiang Li was also very happy when she looked at it, and bought two strings, one for each person.
"Miss, it's so sweet."
"It's not as sweet as you." Jiang Li squinted her eyes with an obscene look, which made Qing'er's face even redder.
"Miss hates it."
The two of them walked around, but they didn't buy anything, and when they were about to finish and go back, Jiang Li saw a young man in sackcloth squatting in a corner of the downtown area.
However, it was not the good-looking teenager who attracted her, but the pile of potatoes in front of the teenager.
According to what she has learned in the past few days, she knows that there are no potatoes in this world, but looking at this appearance, she probably hasn't been excavated yet.
"Qing'er, do you know what that is?" Jiang Li pointed to the potato in front of the young man and asked Qing'er.
Qing'er looked at it, only to see Miss pointing to a bunch of yellow-brown things, she had never seen this thing at all, she didn't know what it was, she could only shake her head in embarrassment, she couldn't help Miss.
"Miss, Qing'er doesn't know what it is, does Miss know?"
"Hey, hey." Jiang Li smiled treacherously and snapped her fingers and walked towards the pile of potatoes.
At the stall, He Daqiang was already sweating a lot, he had been out of the stall for a day today, and no one came to buy his things, and he didn't see anything. Originally, he wanted to throw away these useless things when he dug them up, but he met a Taoist man by the river, he pointed to the things he dug up, and said.
"You take these things to the south corner of West Street to set up a stall today, and there will be nobles who will come to buy these things."
He Daqiang didn't believe it originally, he didn't look at the Taoist priest, and was about to throw all this thing into the river, who knew that the Taoist priest was still entangled, saying that if he couldn't sell these things today, he would buy them all when he went back.
He Daqiang regarded him as a neurotic and didn't want to deal with him, and he took out money to make a deposit, and it was a full two taels of silver, and suddenly He Daqiang felt that these things he dug up today must be treasures, even if they couldn't be sold, these two taels were more than enough for him, seeing that he was so swearing, he came to the street with the two taels of silver.
So he took it to the street and sold it, but after waiting all day, he didn't wait for anyone to come and buy one, not even anyone to stay.
Suddenly, He Daqiang couldn't wait, and as the sun set, his heart sank.
Looking at these sweet potato-like things in front of him, he silently prepared to pack them up and send them to the Taoist priest, he wanted to see how the Taoist priest gave an explanation, anyway, he gave the money, and he was not in a hurry.
At this moment, a pair of delicate pink shoes embroidered with butterflies appeared in front of him, and he jerked his head to see a pair of beautiful eyes, which were full of joy and gentleness.
A slightly powdered face is extremely cute, round eyes blink as if she can speak, and a small mouth hooked with a smile, how does this girl look so kind.
"Boss, how do you sell this thing?"
Her voice was as pleasant as the call of a yellow bird, and He Daqiang was stunned for a while.
"Dengzi, what do you see, my young lady asks you." Qing'er saw that this man actually showed such a demented appearance to his own young lady, and suddenly became angry, and protected Jiang Li behind him, with a fierce face.
Her voice also really made He Daqiang sober up, realizing what he had just done, and his face was immediately red and he was caught off guard.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's Miss who is so beautiful, I'm stunned."
"Hmph, rascal." Qing'er didn't think this person was so unhappy that she actually teased her own lady on the street, and was about to do it, but was stopped by Jiang Li.
"Poof!" Jiang Li stopped the person and sneered, her heart was indeed happy, someone praised herself for her beauty, could she still cry, women are so hypocritical.
"I ask you, how do you sell this thing?" Jiang Li asked again good-naturedly.
"Miss, I don't even know what this thing is, are you sure you want it?" He Daqiang didn't want to deceive people, so he answered honestly, not to mention that he didn't want to deceive this beautiful girl, if he bought it back, it wouldn't be wasted.
Jiang Li smiled lightly, this man is quite honest, if he knew that this thing could make all kinds of delicious food and bring more benefits, what would he think?
"I'm sure, I'll take you all of this." Jiang Li pointed to the potatoes and said very confidently.
Qing'er on the side looked at these things, unable to use them, unable to eat them, and looked suspicious.
"Miss, what do you want this thing for, and you can't eat it, who knows if he's here to deceive people, he doesn't know anything himself, let's not buy it."
Listening to Qing'er's words, Jiang Li just smiled lightly, her eyes were shining: "Don't worry, I don't make uncertain decisions about your young lady, I said that these are wonderful." ”
After speaking, he said to He Daqiang: "I want all these things to sell me for three cents." ”
"Ah, miss, you're stupid, you still want it all." Qing'er was messy in the wind.
He Daqiang was also shocked when he heard Jiang Li's words, he was almost stupid, he really fulfilled it, someone bought these unknown things, and suddenly, he suddenly felt that the Taoist priest was a god.
"Miss, are you sure?" He Daqiang was still in shock, he asked again to make sure.
"Sure." Jiang Li gave him a definite answer, and then asked him to weigh them all, as for the price, He Daqiang didn't dare to say anything anyway, he dug it up casually, and he didn't know what to do if he kept it, he could make some money if he sold it, so he was naturally happy.
These potatoes are twenty-six catties, not too much, no less, Jiang Li took out the money, exactly 78 yuan, after giving the money, she said: "All these things are sent to the Jiangfu in the city, you just say that these eldest ladies have paid, let them accept it directly." ”
"Yes, miss." He Daqiang accepted the money, naturally happy, happily packed up his things, and sent them to Jiangfu, it turned out that this beautiful young lady was the richest man in Jiangfu. He was a poor man, and he didn't dare to say anything, he didn't dare to ask.
After He Daqiang left, Qing'er on the side was very dissatisfied: "Miss, what are you doing with those things?" Even if it's for the sake of pity, he doesn't have to buy so many useless things, right? ”
Jiang Li listened to Qing'er's accusation, knocked her brows, and said softly: "Those things are very good food ingredients, you can make all kinds of things, they are fast babies, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand." ”
"Ah, what is that, and why is it a baby?" Qing'er was really ashamed to ask, Jiang Li really didn't bother to pay attention to her, some things are better than what she said.
"I'll make you a meal with those things tonight, and I'm sure you'll be full of praise."
"Okay, okay, Miss is the best." Hearing the food, Qing'er was as excited as a mouse seeing cheese, a typical foodie, made Jiang Li very happy, and felt that she was the real treasure.
