Chapter 7: To the Town

"Erya, don't think about catching them, you are resting on the side, Dad will take down this big tree, and we will go down the mountain." Chen Dashan shook his head, Er Ya thought too simply, if it was so easy to catch, wouldn't everyone be able to come hunting?

"Oh, Dad, you're busy." Chen Xiaoxiao waved her hand and agreed.

She circled around, wondering if she would see their nest, and after walking a little far, she saw a hidden place, a chicken nest.

So lucky! Chen Xiaoxiao smiled happily, she reached over and peeled it off, and found that there were three wild eggs inside, although they were not big, they were eggs!

She carefully took them, touched them a few times, and put them in the space, and secretly cooked them for her mother at night.

It's a pity that there is only one, and she doesn't dare to go to a place that is too far away, so she has to go back.

At this time, Chen Dashan was only half sawed, and when Chen Xiaoxiao came back and looked up, he saw a piece of red fruit, and said in surprise, "Dad, isn't that a hawthorn?" ”

"What?" Chen Dashan was still sawing trees, he didn't hear clearly, he stopped and saw Chen Xiaoxiao pointing to a hawthorn tree, and said, "Hey, yes, why didn't you find it just now, Erya, you pick more, give your mother a taste, and then send some to your grandmother." ”

"Hmm." Chen Xiaoxiao answered, picked up her sleeves and climbed up the tree, this tree is not very high, but she is also a little out of reach, climb to the tree to pick the top fruit.

The hawthorns she had picked from the tree had been put into the space, and she carefully glanced at her father to make sure he hadn't looked at her.

"Dad, can this be sold for money, let's pick it up and sell it tomorrow?" Chen Xiaoxiao rarely goes to the town, and I don't know if the town sells this.

The children in the village often go to the mountains to pick fruits, but the children are disgusted with hawthorn, and no one comes to pick this, except for someone in the family who is pregnant.

"There are those for sale, but they can't be sold for much money, you can wait for Dad to go to the town to sell tables and chairs, you and Dad will go together, sell if you can, and take it home for your mother to eat if you can't sell it." Chen Dashan had already knocked down the tree at this time, and he said only after cutting off the branches and leaves of the tree.

"Dad, you bring the bamboo basket, I put the hawthorn in it, I can't take it." Chen Xiaoxiao shouted from the tree, she picked a lot of hawthorn fruits.

Chen Dashan took the bamboo basket and put it underneath, Chen Xiaoxiao threw it down, and almost the hawthorn of the entire tree was plucked.

I look at a lot, but in fact, there is not much, and I have to leave something to eat, and I don't feel like it's gone.

Chen Xiaoxiao jumped off the tree, one of the two carried the tree, and the other carried the basket down the mountain, which was extremely harmonious.

After arriving home, Chen Xiaoxiao went to put the pigweed away, first went to her father's room to give her the hawthorn, and then took a small half to go to Li's place.

Chen Dashan went to dispose of the wood.

When Li saw her, she naturally didn't have a good face, but she remembered what her good granddaughter had just done.

"Grandma, this is the hawthorn that my father and I found in the mountains, and I sent it to grandma." Chen Xiaoxiao saw Li's ugly face and didn't care, she put down her things and prepared to leave.

"Stop, why don't you send it over and wash it again, go wash it!" Li snorted coldly and swept the hawthorn to the ground along with the plate.

Chen Xiaoxiao squatted down silently, picked up the hawthorns one by one, and after washing them, put them in front of Li.

Li picked up the hawthorn, took a bite, and exclaimed, "Ouch, why is it so sour!" ”

Chen Xiaoxiao snickered and slipped out, can this thing not be sour!

She ran to Chen Dashan, helped hold down the stump, Chen Dashan saw, sawed three sections, the two had an interesting trip to the mountains, and Chen Xiaoxiao also picked a few green apples.

-------------------------------------

Three days later, Chen Dashan and Chen Xiaoxiao got up when the sky was still gray, thinking that they didn't have to make breakfast today, so that they could go to the market and go to the town to sell the tables and chairs they had made.

They have to walk on their legs, Chen Dashan dragged a table with one hand, and two chairs tied to his back, Chen Xiaoxiao carried a basket on his back, and several baskets were hung behind the basket, and the wild fruits that had been scavenged on the mountain in the past few days were placed in the basket, and the firewood was cut down at the bottom.

There were forty miles of road in the town, and they walked for two hours, and when they arrived at the gate of the town, there was a little light, and there were already many people lined up at the gate.

The town wanted to sell things in a special place, and when they arrived at the place, Chen Dashan put the table together, took down the chairs, and Chen Xiaoxiao put fruit on them.

"Fruit Le, sell fruit Le, apples, hawthorn, delicious and sweet." Chen Xiaoxiao put the fruit and shouted.

Chen Dashan was embarrassed to stand aside, Chen Xiaoxiao's side was too eye-catching, they were all placed directly on the ground, Chen Xiaoxiao was placed on the table, which was particularly conspicuous.

In addition, their fruits all looked very full, and soon someone asked, "How do you sell these apples?" ”

"How do you sell this hawthorn? It just so happens that my lady has been particularly fond of eating this lately. The scholar in the green shirt asked.

Chen Xiaoxiao didn't panic at all, as long as she thought about getting rich immediately, she felt full of strength, "Apples cost five cents a pound, hawthorn costs two dollars a pound, if you buy a table or chair, you can also give a pound of hawthorn." ”

At this time, someone noticed the table and chairs in front of them, and the scholar in the green shirt looked at the table and asked, "How much is the table?" ”

Chen Dashan just wanted to speak, but Chen Xiaoxiao preemptively said, "Thirty Wen, send a pound of hawthorn." ”

"Thirty wen, it's too expensive." The scholar shook his head, their table did look okay, but compared to the store, it was still a little worse.

The onlookers also shook their heads, but a tall and strong man said, "Come on, little girl, weigh me five catties of apples." ”

This chair is expensive, but this apple is more than half cheaper than other places, and it is a wild fruit.

"Holo." Chen Dashan quickly weighed the apples, put them in the bamboo basket he had prepared, and handed them to the man, and the five catties of apples were almost finished.

"Hey, you guys are honest, and you guys send a basket." The man took the apple and handed Chen Xiaoxiao twenty-five yuan.

The scholar spoke at this time, "In this way, Twenty-five Wen, you give me the chair, and I don't want the hawthorn." ”

"Plus the chair for 30 Wen, 30 Wen I will sell, the hawthorn is originally given, it can't be counted like this, you see we go all the way to the mountains to cut down trees, make some hard money, no matter how low it really is." Chen Xiaoxiao said.

"Okay, okay, thirty Wen, I'll get it later, and the money will be given to you first." The scholar readily agreed, and he handed Chen Xiaoxiao thirty yuan.

"Okay, you go, I'll keep the tables and chairs for you." Chen Xiaoxiao put a table and a chair behind them.

Chen Dashan didn't expect it to be so smooth, and he successfully sold two things, he looked at his daughter's shouting figure, and felt full of motivation.

Later, it didn't go well, as more and more people sold, more and more were sold, and no one bought hawthorn, but someone bought their firewood for a penny.

After waiting for a while, still no one bought it, Chen Xiaoxiao stopped shouting, her throat was about to smoke, so she said to Chen Dashan, "Dad, I'll rest for a while." ”

Chen Dashan: "Okay. ”

As soon as Chen Xiaoxiao squatted down, a fat woman came over, she dialed the hawthorn on the table, and asked, "How is this hawthorn sold?" ”

She immediately stood up and replied crisply, "Two pennies a pound." ”
