Chapter 8: Sold Out
The fat woman pinched a hawthorn, took a bite, and nodded, "Yes, it's sour enough, bring me two catties." ”
Chen Dashan hurriedly weighed two catties of hawthorn and put it in a bamboo basket.
The fat woman took the hawthorn before giving them the money, and said with emotion, "Alas, my daughter-in-law loves to eat sour, and I can't buy hawthorn in many places these days. ”
The fat woman doesn't want to buy a lot at once, she always thinks that if she buys too much, it won't be fresh, and it is better to buy and eat now.
"Auntie, your daughter-in-law is pregnant with a baby, she is really blessed, she will definitely be able to give you a big fat grandson." Chen Xiaoxiao praised her at the right time, and then said, "We may come back in five days, since the eldest lady wants to buy hawthorn, then we must pick more over." ”
The fat woman was said to be smiling, she saw that Chen Xiaoxiao was articulate, thinking that she was about the same age as her eldest granddaughter, so she became more kind, "You little mouth, it's sweet, then give me another three catties, just enough for my daughter-in-law to eat for five days." ”
"Auntie is really a good mother-in-law, she will hurt people!" Chen Xiaoxiao praised her desperately for the sake of business.
In the end, the fat woman left with a bamboo basket on her shoulder, and she didn't forget to let Chen Xiaoxiao go to her house to sit, Chen Xiaoxiao didn't go because she still had to sell things, saying that she would definitely arrive next time.
As soon as the fat woman left, Chen Xiaoxiao squatted on the ground again, she pretended to go to the bamboo basket to pick out, there were two more apples in her hand, took them out, and handed one to Chen Dashan, "Dad, eat apples, there are two more here." ”
Chen Dashan waved his hand, "Erya, you eat, Dad is not hungry." ”
"One for each person, Dad, I can't eat that much." Chen Xiaoxiao said.
Her father always kept the good ones for her, and he was reluctant to eat them, and this time too.
"Dad is not hungry, you can eat by yourself." Chen Dashan stood up straight and resolutely refused to eat.
Chen Xiaoxiao had no choice but to eat it by herself, she put another apple in the bamboo basket and ate the apple.
They now have a table and a chair left unsold, and the hawthorn is less, estimated at two and a half catties, Chen Xiaoxiao holds the apple in one hand, and takes the hawthorn down with the other hand and puts it on the chair.
In the end, when it was time to close the stall, it was sold at a price of twenty-five wen, and a pound of hawthorn was given away by the way.
The scholar in the green shirt hasn't come yet, Chen Xiaoxiao and the two of them can only wait here, and the two have nothing to sell, so they carry the table and chair to the corner to stay.
Chen Xiaoxiao tossed the purse in her hand, and the sound of the copper plate colliding was so pleasant, her eyes were crooked with a smile, and she put the purse in the space with a few strokes.
Today, they earned a total of 90 Wen, one tael of silver is equal to one thousand Wen, as long as they are a little more diligent, they will soon be able to get the money back to Lu Langzhong.
Chen Dashan saw his daughter laughing there alone, he couldn't help but laugh too, he would only farm in the past, this was the first time he came out to sell things, he sighed in his heart, or his daughter was clever, that little mouth clicked a few times, and the things were sold.
Wait a little longer, the scholar who left before came over, and as soon as he came, he hugged his fists and apologized, "I'm really sorry, Xiaosheng has something to delay, so you have to wait for so long." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, we've just finished selling something, that, sir, I'll send you home." Chen Dashan always felt uncomfortable when he saw that he was a scholar, how dare he blame him, and seeing his thin figure, he decided to help him send the chair over.
Chen Xiaoxiao stood up, put the bamboo basket on her back, and followed.
After sending the tables and chairs, Chen Xiaoxiao gave him the remaining one and a half pounds of hawthorn, the scholar was going to shirk it, but thinking that his wife wanted to eat in the near future, he accepted it, and when he was about to get the money, Chen Dashan and the two of them had already left.
Chen Xiaoxiao went to buy a pound of brown sugar and asked for ten yuan, she didn't dare to buy anything else, and the two of them hurriedly set foot on the way home.
She put the brown sugar in the bamboo basket and gave Chen Dashan twenty yuan, saying, "Dad, if my grandmother asks you, she will say that the tables and chairs were sold for twenty yuan today, and the firewood was sold for twenty yuan, don't say that we sold a lot of money today, and the rest of the money will be kept for my mother." ”
Chen Dashan nodded, he didn't know how to settle accounts, what his daughter said was what he said, "Dad knows." ”
"That's good." Chen Xiaoxiao said that as long as her father didn't say it, the money could be saved.
Excluding the twenty texts for the Li family and the ten texts for brown sugar, there are only 60 texts left, Chen Xiaoxiao counted the accounts in her heart, sighed, and was still far from the goal of one or two silvers.
However, it's okay, the days will definitely get more and more prosperous, as long as they can hide.
On the way, the two of them went to hunt a basket of pigweed before going back, and the brown sugar was naturally hidden in the space by Chen Xiaoxiao.
It was already afternoon when she got home, Chen Xiaoxiao carried the basket on her back to throw things aside, she was afraid that Chen Dashan would leak her mouth, so she hurried to the hall.
In the hall, Li Shi held the twenty texts, and quickly put them away, she blamed Chen Dashan and said, "I went to the morning and sold it for so much money?" I haven't done much work in the field, and I'm crazy with a girl, so don't stand here, hurry up and work. ”
"Okay, mother, I'll go to the field and have a look." Chen Dashan said honestly.
Seeing that Chen Dashan was so honest, Li couldn't talk about him, so he waved his hand to let him go down.
Chen Xiaoxiao followed his father back to the room, her mother was embroidering a veil, and when she saw them coming back, she immediately put down the veil, "Her father, Erya, are you back?" ”
"Mother, who cooked today, did you leave us food?" Chen Xiaoxiao asked, she was hungry for a long time, but she just held on all the way.
"I, I cooked, I kept half a steamed bun, which I saved, and they said that you must have eaten it in the town, and they refused to let me keep it for you. Dad, haven't you both eaten? Xiao Li took out the half of the steamed bun.
"No, it's too much! I'm going to theorize with them! If you don't keep food, forget it, and let your mother cook as a pregnant woman, bullying people! Chen Xiaoxiao stood up and was about to rush out.
"Don't, don't go." Xiao Li dragged her to death, for fear that she would be scolded after she went.
Chen Xiaoxiao was afraid that something would happen to her mother, so she didn't dare to make a big move, but she was still angry in her heart.
"Erya, don't make trouble, you eat that steamed bun first, Dad is not hungry at all, let's wait a little longer, we can have dinner." Chen Dashan followed suit, he thought his mother would leave him food.
"Daddy, you ate the apple." Chen Xiaoxiao took the apple out of her sleeve and held it up in front of Chen Dashan.
"Okay." Chen Dashan took the apple and took a bite, his heart was warm, his daughter was simply a caring little padded jacket.
After he took a bite, he handed the apple to Xiao Li and asked her to eat it, how could Xiao Li be willing to eat it, and the two of them pushed it back and forth.
Chen Xiaoxiao didn't know how to eat, so she finally dropped the steamed bun and ran to her room to get angry.
