Chapter 49
Several people walked around the mountain road for nearly two hours, and later, Lin Baoru was almost dragged by Cairu and Caihe. Even if someone was holding her, she had to walk for a while to rest, and her feet were tired and she didn't feel anything.
Wang looked at her appearance, and felt very distressed, so he didn't need to say it, he took the basket she was carrying on her arm.
"Baoru, do you want to rest for a while?" While helping his daughter rub her legs, Wang asked worriedly, "If I had known, I should have let you go out later with Cairu Caihe, even if it costs a few more copper plates, I should have let you take an ox cart......
Lin Baoru is really tired at this time, although she has done a lot of work these days, but most of it is laundry, cooking, and tidying up the yard.
That is, the foundation of the original body is good, otherwise I am afraid that she would have been tired and would have fallen down.
Not only the Wang family, but even Cairu and Caihe surrounded her and helped her rub her legs worriedly, although she didn't have much strength, but it made people's hearts warm.
Lin Baoru saw her mother's blind self-blame, and couldn't help but smile and rubbed her somewhat stiff calf and said: "I'm not so squeamish, but I haven't walked such a long road for a long time, and I'm a little uncomfortable for a while." ”
With that, she stood up and prepared to continue. It's already starting to light now, and if it's too late, I'm afraid I won't be able to find a good place.
Today, Lin Baoru is not just thinking about selling firewood, she is also thinking about taking advantage of the last episode of the year to drink the pig pancreatic soap she made.
By the time they reached the town, it was already dawn, and the stalls on both sides of the street were already on their feet.
Wang and Lin Mancang were familiar with the road and led a few people to the West Market, most of which were nearby places to sell firewood and game, and at this time of the year, the most sold pork in the West Market was pork.
Different from butcher shops, most of the pork here is raised and slaughtered by the village family in the countryside, and the price is cheaper, but it is sold at a minimum of half a fan or a whole pig's head.
However, every time I go to the market, the restaurants and wealthy people in the town will come here to buy, so this cheap pork is not very sold.
"Sister-in-law, you're a little late today." When Lin Baoru helped the Wang family and Lin Mancang unload firewood, I heard someone coming up to say hello. It seems that the man is familiar with her mother.
Wang put the sturdy firewood stack in his hand on the edge of the wall, and said with a smile: "Today is the last gathering of the year, so I thought of bringing a few small pieces to join in the fun, so the road was delayed." ”
The aunt teased the hill that was being held by Caihe on the side, and said, "It's such a reason, I haven't seen you bring your children to the town to play in the past, and it's time for them to see how rare it is." As she spoke, she touched a piece of freshly baked biscuits from her stall and handed it to Xiaoshan, "It's called Auntie, Auntie has delicious biscuits." ”
Xiaoshan looked at the fragrant baked cakes, then at his mother and eldest sister, blinked and shook his head and said, "Xiaoshan is not hungry...... The eldest sister said that other people's things can't be ......"
As he spoke, he also looked at his eldest sister with a boastful look.
There weren't too many people rushing to the market on the street at this time, so they could still talk for a while with the lady who was selling baked cakes next to them.
The aunt heard Xiaoshan's milky voice talking about adults, and immediately said to Wang with a smile: "Oh, how did you raise this child, you are really sensible." As she spoke, she stuffed the baked cake in her hand into Xiaoshan's hand, "This is not what you want, it is for your aunt to like you and give it to you." ”
Xiaoshan got the delicious food, but he didn't eat alone, but turned his head and stretched out his hand to hand the biscuit to Wang's side, "Mother, eat together......"
Seeing that he remembered the big guy at a young age, Wang was also relieved in his heart. To be honest, when a person reaches her age, what else do they want? It is nothing more than that the children are filial and obedient, and the family is harmonious.
Just looking at Xiaoshan's appearance, these brothers and sisters are all close, even if she lets go in the future, she can rest assured.
Thinking of this, she looked at the eyes of several children and was even more happy, so she made up her mind. She smiled and patted Xiaoshan's hand and said, "You eat, my mother will buy a few more baked cakes from your aunt, and we will have one by one for a while." ”
"Auntie, bring me five more biscuits. In the past, I was always reluctant to do this, but now we can also have a good meal. "The Wang family and the aunt were in the way of selling things, and it was some time, so they naturally knew that the price of the baked cake was three copper plates, so when they were waiting to get the baked cakes, they also counted out the copper plates.
"Oh, why did you give nine copper plates!" The aunt looked at the copper plate handed over by Wang, and hurriedly pushed the two back, "I said, the baked cakes from your Xiaoshan were given to him by my aunt, but I don't dare to count the money." ”
The Wang family is not a person who likes to take advantage, so naturally he refuses to continue, "Her aunt, your family is not easy, don't dare to stop like this, otherwise we will not be able to talk again in the future." ”
Lin Baoru looked at the two of them for a long time for two pennies without any result, smiled and took the two copper plates, solemnly put them into the hands of the aunt, and said: "Auntie, I know that you feel sorry for my mother, but it is not easy for you to do business." My mother used to say that you used to take care of her, and we can't let you suffer at this time, right? You can take it, if you want to buy firewood for baking cakes in the future, just remember to have a family like us. ”
When the aunt heard her talk about this, she smiled and stopped refusing it. She accepted the copper plate, and praised Lin Baoru at Wang's good life.
After saying this for a while, there were more people in the town.
Probably thinking about going out for a walk with the family at the end of the year.,So there's obviously a lot more people than in the last episode.。 Even if Lin Baoru was on the side, he could see that the people who came and went were rubbing shoulders and crowding hard.
Lin Baoru put away the baked cakes, told Cairu and Caihe to take care of the hill, and then put a cloth in the open space next to him, and finally took out his prepared pig pancreatic soap and put it on the table.
It's the first time she's set up a stall, and she originally thought it was quite simple, as long as she was willing to shout a few times, she could attract people. But when she really arrived, she opened her mouth for a long time, but she couldn't shout.
First, she couldn't tell what this thing was at first glance, and secondly, she wasn't enthusiastic about greeting people to come and see, so she put it out for a while, and no one cared about it. For a while, it made Lin Baoru a little discouraged.
The aunt who had just sold baked cakes looked at her embarrassed appearance and said with a smile: "Girl, what are you selling?" Why don't I shout for you? You haven't opened your mouth, and we can't sell it......"
Lin Baoru said a little embarrassed: "I have some soap beans, which are not much different from the bath beans used by rich people, the most important thing is to remove dirt, that is, the oil and blood stains can be washed clean." ”
When the aunt heard that it was such a precious object, she immediately shook her head and said: "Even if it is not easy to sell, our West Market is full of poor people, not to mention the objects used by the rich, even the honey locusts are all saved from the past......"
Lin Baoru sighed, looking at the people coming and going, sure enough, most of them were people with patches on their clothes like this aunt said. But in her heart, she didn't want to lower the price of pig pancreatic soap all at once, after all, she didn't point to making a fortune with pig pancreatic soap.
In fact, she knows in her heart that the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated, and now most people don't know that pig pancreas still has such a use. But once someone starts using it, they can guess the method after a little speculation.
Therefore, what she thought at the beginning was to start early and earn the first pot of gold.
"I'll try it first, if I really can't sell it here, I'll go to the east side and push it door-to-door."
After the two of them said a few words, someone came over to buy baked cakes. So the aunt briefly said a few words to Lin Baoru, and hurried to greet someone.
Gradually, three or five women dressed in satin clothes began to come to buy goods from the crowd dressed plainly and simply. Others, who were cleanly dressed and followed by a few men, picked up meat and firewood.
Wang Shi looked at her energetically, and explained on the side: "These are the wealthy families in the town, and there are some restaurant buyers. After a while, there will be some mothers-in-law who are full of incense, and those are old bustards like Chunxianglou and buy ......" After she finished speaking, she told her daughter, "If you meet those people who come to ask for objects, you can stay away and say goodbye, people outside are rumored that those people have dirty diseases......"
Lin Baoru listened to what her mother said, and couldn't help but chuckle, causing Wang to poke her head hard, "Mother knows that you have a big idea, but this kind of thing is not a joke." ”
"Oh, mother, do you believe this? If someone comes up and asks for our firewood and soap beans, will you sell them? Lin Baoru smiled on her face, fiddled with the pig pancreatic soap in her hand, and said, "Even if we don't sell it, other people's families will sell it to those people, is it possible that all those who have done business with that person will get dirty diseases?" ”
Wang saw that she didn't care about this matter, and couldn't help but feel a little melancholy. Hey, the girl is too assertive, and it's not necessarily a good thing. Is she afraid that her daughter will get a dirty disease, isn't she worried that someone will know that her daughter is doing business with those people, and then there will be any unpleasant rumors?
"Mother, don't worry about it, I just said it casually. You see how many days you've been setting up a stall with your eldest brother, and you haven't met a mother-in-law who came to buy firewood, right? Lin Baoru looked at her mother's face a little lost, and hurriedly hugged the person's arm and said comfortingly, "It's still the same sentence, let's walk straight, don't be afraid of any demons and monsters." ”
