Chapter 56: Doll Luo'er (5)
Zhao Laosan didn't argue with these shopkeepers, he kept a calm face, handed them the tofu, took the money and left. He has always sold tofu like this, but the shopkeepers of these taverns and restaurants are still rare for people like him and the tofu they make. Every time I come to deliver tofu every ten days and a half months, these shopkeepers will ask for it.
It was dark and dreary, and Zhao Laosan's movements were very neat, and his feet were like the wind. The tofu from these stores was delivered in half an hour. I had a lot of tofu that I grinded yesterday, so I had to rush back and hurry up and go home after selling out.
Walking to the east of the market, I happened to see Su Binghuai, this Su Binghuai probably felt hard with silver taels in his arms, and he was carrying half a pot of wine in his hand, and it seemed that he had just come out of Wangchun Tower.
Seeing Zhao Laosan, it was like a mouse seeing a cat, shrinking his head and bending over, and was about to sneak away, but was caught by Zhao Laosan.
"What are you doing with me, I didn't go to the gambling house!" This Su Binghuai was grabbed by the back of his neck, hurriedly broke free, and scolded Zhao Laosan.
"Brother misunderstood, go to my shop to get some tofu, it just so happens that there is a lot of tofu grinding today!" Zhao Laosan didn't bother to care about him, he just thought about his mother-in-law, and treated them better, and the little lady in the family was more relaxed.
"Brother-in-law, you can give me money directly, this money is better than tofu!" Su Binghuai touched the flower wine that he drank overnight yesterday, and it was early in the morning, his cheeks were red, and his eyes were confused and red.
"It's going to rain this day, so my brother will take the tofu and go back! There is a pregnant sister-in-law waiting for you at home! "Zhao Laosan is already cold, and he doesn't want to get involved with him about these trivial matters.
This Su Binghuai staggered and followed Zhao Laosan, bypassing an alley, which is the stone bridge, and under the bridge is the hibiscus pastry shop. On the side of the terrain is the stall of Zhao Laosan.
Su Binghuai had no energy, and when he went to the shop, he saw a thin female doll selling tofu, at first he thought it was his sister Su Mi, rubbed his eyes and immediately dropped the wine bottle, and carried the clothes in front of Zhao Laosan's neck with one hand: "Zhao Laosan, you still come to me, what about my sister, what did you do to my sister?" ”
Zhao Laosanzu was half a head taller than Su Binghuai, and when he lowered his eyes, he saw that he was so excited, his eyebrows were light and his thin lips opened slightly: "Mi'er is at home!" ”
"I haven't seen you for half a month, and you changed to such a little doll as a boss? My sister, isn't it ......?"
"This eldest brother, Sister Mi'er is at home well, my name is Luo'er, I am from Zhaojia Village, and I am here to help Brother Zhao sell tofu today!" This Luo'er smiled, revealing two rows of white teeth, although her eyebrows were delicate, but she was much tougher than Su Mi.
"Yo! Still a talker! "I didn't expect this Luo'er to have such a sweet mouth, and when she spoke, she was also well-proportioned. Su Binghuai was impressed by her, holding her hands in her hands, and looked at Luo'er carefully.
"Take the tofu and go back quickly!" Zhao Laosan was too lazy to take care of his idle brother, and he also wanted to sell all the tofu on the cart quickly, so that he could go home and take care of his little lady who came to Yuexin.
This Luo'er is also sensible, it seems that it is Su Miniang's family, took a large piece of oil paper, cut the best piece of tofu and wrapped it: "This big brother, you are so raw, this tofu, I'm afraid I will eat it for two or three days!"
Zhao Laosan saw him swaying, and asked for a box to put the tofu in a box from the shopkeeper of the Furong pastry room next to him, so he gave it to him with confidence.
Although Su Binghuai is idle, he still thinks about his own home. This tofu is quite heavy in my hand. Hurriedly walked towards Sujia Village, stumbling along the way, full of the smell of wine.
"Brother Zhao, can we sell out this tofu today?" Luo'er looked at the tofu, there was still a big piece left, and the cold wind began to blow around him, and he couldn't help but worry.
Zhao Laosan raised his eyes, looked at the sky, and estimated that there were still two hours left, and it was pouring rain: "Don't worry, this tofu can be sold out today." ”
I never thought that this Luo'er would do business, and there would be a good one. Zhao Laosan counted the money on the cart, looked at the tofu sold, and couldn't help but sigh, this Luo'er is really diligent and sensible.
"Sell tofu, Zhao family's tofu, come and take a look!" This Luo'er actually opened her throat and shouted.
Zhao Laosan was a little embarrassed, and when he saw Luo'er shouting at the side, he couldn't help but whisper: "Luo'er, our tofu is easy to sell, and everyone in the streets and alleys knows it!" ”
"I don't know, what if I get sick in the rain? If you look for a sister like this, you will be worried! Luo'er didn't care about the man's thoughts, answered, and began to shout again.
As soon as she opened her throat and shouted, many women gathered around. Before, everyone in the streets and alleys knew that the tofu that Zhao Laosan grinded was fragrant and not adulterated, but he hadn't come to sell tofu for several days, and many people didn't know that Zhao Laosan had come to do business today.
"Zhao family's tofu, give me a piece!"
"Zhao Laosan, give me a catty!"
The women were holding tofu and smiling. Seeing that the tofu in this cart was about to be sold out, Luo'er was quick with her hands and feet, cutting the tofu and collecting money at the same time.
In the end, this tofu was left for the shopkeeper of the Hibiscus pastry shop, who were all businessmen, and at a glance they knew that they were ground with fine beans.
"I said, Zhao Laosan, aren't you afraid of losing money by selling tofu like this?" The shopkeeper really didn't understand when he saw that his good tofu was sold at the price of medium tofu.
"There are a lot of beans hoarded at home, which is also a small profit but quick turnover!" Zhao Lao's three faces are like knives, and his dark eyes are just the water in the deep pool, and he can't see the warmth and coldness.
"Brother Zhao, let's go home! Sister Mi'er, I'm afraid I'm in a hurry! "This is the first time Luo Er has come to the market, and it is very fresh to see the people coming and going. After all, it's still a doll, it's fun and good-looking, and I'm very happy.
Seeing her like this, she didn't care how Luo Qinghe calculated the doll: "Luo'er, it's still early this day, I'll take you around, just buy something for your sister Mi'er!" ”
As soon as he heard that he was going to sell something to Su Mi, this Luo'er nodded.
The two packed up the cart, Zhao Laosan pushed the cart with a pair of strong arms, and Luo'er followed by him. I saw the seller of sugar gourds, which were made of hawthorn wrapped in rock sugar, and the red ones were very attractive, so I took out the silver money and bought two for Luo'er.
This Luo'er opened her mouth, revealing her teeth like mutton fat jade, and smiled at Zhao Laosan, her eyes were crystal clear, "Brother Zhao, such a good sugar gourd, bring some back to Sister Mi'er!" ”
"You eat it, your sister Mi'er doesn't like to eat sugar gourds!" Zhao Laosan knew that his little lady disliked this hawthorn as sour and astringent, and he didn't like to eat this thing.
"What does Sister Mi'er like to eat?"
As soon as Luo'er's voice fell, Zhao Laosan remembered the white cheeks of the little lady in his family, with watery eyes, he had never seen such a soft and delicate woman in these ten miles and eight towns. Thin lips pursed a smile, did not answer Luo'er, only thinking about his own woman.
Thinking that she has been in the moon letter for the past few days, she can't eat anything, it's raining, and she can't come to town for a day or two. The brown sugar at home was almost gone, and the rice cakes were almost gone, so I went to the market to buy some.
There are no brown sugar-like shops, there are only three shops in this market, one of which is the Shen family, and the Shen family's shop is naturally something he wants to avoid. There was only Liu's house in the south lane, and it took a quarter of an hour to go around and through several streets and alleys.
After buying all the things, he saw that Luo'er's clothes were shabby and could not be repaired, so he went to the cloth village to buy a brocade cloth with a dull color.
"Take this cloth back and let your sister Mi'er make you two clothes to wear!" Zhao Laosan walked out of the cloth village and handed the cloth in his hand to Luo'er. Luo'er is thin, her skin is dark and yellow, and Zhao Laosan chose a darker color, so that the clothes will not be dazzling when she wears them.
The two of them went back, and before they arrived at Zhaojia Village, they heard thunder and a burst of lightning. This Luo'er was so frightened that she shrank back, and Zhao Laosan protected her behind her, and her steps were extremely fast.
"Luo'er, we need to hurry, this rain is coming soon!"
The dark clouds in the sky pressed over, Rao was very anxious, and the placket of Zhao Laosan's back was soaked with sweat, sticking to his strong back. Luo'er followed him, feeling like he was leaning against a mountain. Although it was about to rain, I didn't feel scared at all.
If it is a person, Zhao Laosan's steps should be faster. But with a doll on his side, he could only be anxious and slow down.
Seeing that he was about to arrive at Zhaojia Village, the raindrops fell like stones. Zhao Laosan was afraid that Luo'er would be drenched, after all, it was someone else's doll. Hurriedly grabbed her slender arm and ran home.
But this summer rain came quickly, and it was still raining, and it was pouring rain in a moment. The black cloud seemed to crush them, and the raindrops became pillars of rain in a moment. Fortunately, the road to Zhaojia Village is relatively smooth, and it is not too difficult for the two of them to walk.
Seeing that Luo'er was drenched, Zhao Laosan hurriedly took off the gown on his body and handed it to her: "Luo'er cover her head, it's raining, I'm afraid I'm going to have a headache." ”
In less than a quarter of an hour, the two returned to Zhao's house. Su Mi was waiting at home in a hurry, and when she saw that the two of them were back, she hurriedly took the hat and went over to continue.
"Husband, you don't hide from such a heavy rain, what if you get wet?" Su Mi was very anxious, and her little face was pale.
"Lady, take out the brown sugar and rice cake under the cart, and see if it is drenched?" Zhao Laosan pushed the cart under the shed, for fear that his little lady would get drenched in the rain, so he hugged her waist and went to the bottom of the grass shed.
Su Mi knew that his man bought brown sugar for himself, his small nose was sour, and his watery eyes were filled with crystal clear tears. A pair of white hands touched the handle of the lower head of the board and took out the brown sugar and rice cakes. Fortunately, only the oil paper on the top was dripping, and the rice cakes and brown sugar inside were still intact.
