Chapter 21 Hawking
I didn't want to sell cute, but I fell into the heart of the straight man of steel, Aya.
After seeing that Aya finished speaking, he stood in place and looked at her with a fatherly smile, and knew that Aya was selling melons again, and thought that her daughter was well-behaved and cute.
As an adult woman, Liu Chenxing feels that she wants to be amazing in the eyes of others.
Fortunately, Aya remembered that his family was burdened, and there was a mother waiting to pay the money, a son waiting to go to school, and a daughter who wanted to eat well.
Liu Qianli has been setting up a stall in the county all the year round, and he found a place to set up a stall in a familiar way.
As soon as they opened the market, the first wave of people rushed in, which should have been considered early. However, there are already several places in the surrounding area that have been occupied, and they are all busy laying out straw mats and putting things for sale today.
There were already more people in the city, Liu Qianli asked his son to hold his daughter's hand, and repeatedly told the brothers and sisters not to run around uneasily, so he put down the heavy back basket behind him and began to lay straw mats and display goods.
Knowing that in the eyes of everyone, the dendrobium flowers in his small basket are worthless wildflowers, even if he loves Aya very much, he has to sell the hare he hunted yesterday before he has to accompany him to sell the flowers, Liu Chenxing simply endured his temperament and looked around curiously.
It is not much different from the modern commercial street and the ancient street market in the TV series, and it is all lined with shops on both sides of the road.
Liu Chenxing carefully observed that most of the stalls set up here were farmers or small traders and hawkers in the county.
Most of the goods placed on their straw mats are their own agricultural and sideline products, many of which are poultry and livestock products, such as eggs and goose eggs. Of course, fruits and vegetables are indispensable, after all, there is no land to grow these in the county.
Behind them are also some rice shops and oil shops.
If you want to come to this place, it is the place where Qingyang County concentrates on selling agricultural and sideline products.
And his own Aya estimates that he has set up a stall here every time, and there are many familiar people around him who greet and shout "Liu Erlang", but none of them are from their Anjia Village, so it can be seen that they should know each other by setting up stalls.
The things they were going to sell today were mainly two hare with their legs tethered, and about twenty pairs of straw sandals that Aya had knitted earlier. In the past, there were bamboo baskets and bamboo baskets and other bamboo weaving objects woven by Aya, because a few days ago I was busy repairing farm tools to make money, and then I was busy with spring ploughing, so I abandoned the work of bamboo weaving. Otherwise, today is to carry a long bamboo pole on the shoulder, and hang bamboo objects in front and back to sell.
In addition to these to sell, there are also wild mushrooms and mushrooms picked from the back mountains yesterday. These mountain treasures are not counted in the cargo, because the entire Liu family thinks that they are worthless wild vegetables, and anyone in the village can pick them everywhere they want to eat. But this is something that Liu Chenxing finally found to make a fortune, and she is unwilling not to try it. Especially yesterday, Uncle Liu agreed, and if Shanzhen sells it, he doesn't have to hand it over. This temptation is really not small, so I just take it all with me, what if I sell it for money?
Liu Chenxing sat on the straw mat of his stall with two small short legs, and started to do business for the first time in his life.
The sun rises higher and higher, and more and more people come and go.
I don't know how long I sat cross-legged dryly, at least for half an hour, but nothing was sold.
Liu Chenxing felt that something was wrong.
"Aye, are we just sitting and selling things like this?" Liu Chenxing tilted his head to look at Liu Qianlidao.
From his daughter's face, Liu Qianli saw his daughter's doubts, he looked around again, he didn't find out what was different from others, and he didn't know what his little daughter was thinking in her head all day long, but he still smiled patiently and carefully and explained: "Every time Aya comes to sell something, he sits like this." When a guest sees it, he will naturally come up and ask. Ah Xing rest assured, the hare is a good thing, and it will be sold before the market closes. Even if you can't sell it, you can also send it to the wine shop where your third uncle works, they want to collect game, but the price is low. ”
Seeing that the youngest daughter's eyes widened after hearing this, Liu Qianli also pointed around and emphasized: "You see everyone sitting and selling things like this, no problem." ”
That's not a problem yet!?
This is simply a big problem!
Liu Chenxing took a deep breath and asked, "Aye, how much do you sell a hare?" Yu Guang caught a glimpse of his two fat hares, and added, "How much do the big ones sell?" How much do small ones sell? ”
Liu Qianli didn't think his daughter was noisy at all, and continued to say patiently: "There is no difference in size, hares are sold for twenty-eight wen." ”
Liu Chenxing looked at the sky speechlessly, took a deep breath again and again, and then said: "Aya, this is authentic game, will it be too little to sell twenty-eight wen?" As for the size, it was all twenty-eight texts, and she didn't want to say any more.
Liu Qianli shook his head and said: "There are a lot of rabbits with twenty-eight texts, and there are only thirty chickens at all!" With a smile, he said, "These two hares have been sold, just enough to buy a pound of salt back." The salt at home is about to bottom out, and your grandma is still chattering about buying salt this morning! ”
Sell two hares to buy salt?
Liu Chenxing felt that he was hallucinating, "Aya, how much is a pound of salt?" ”
Liu Qianli knew that his youngest daughter had always been very concerned about things like money, and when he heard that his youngest daughter suddenly asked about salt again, he replied unexpectedly: "Forty wen a pound of salt." ”
Hearing this, Liu Chenxing was stunned for a moment.
A hare costs twenty-eight wen, a chicken thirty wen, but a pound of salt costs forty wen!
After being stunned for a long time, I suddenly remembered that most of the rich people in ancient times were salt merchants, and salt was a necessity of life, and if it was monopolized, the price would naturally be high.
Using the modern concept of prices, looking at the prices of ancient times, there is obviously a source.
Liu Chenxing mediated himself and accepted it according to the local customs, but it was not good to sit and wait for customers to come and buy things.
In the sixties and seventies of the Celestial Empire, the most beautiful jobs were supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores, when the eyes of waiters were as long as the sky, and they were waiting for customers to come. But once it becomes a market economy, they will be the first to be laid off.
Liu Chenxing thought about it, got up from the straw mat, and thought that he was short, so he poured the dendrobium flowers in the back basket into the empty back basket of his brother, and then put his small back basket upside down, climbed up and stood at the bottom of the back basket, and learned from the merchants in the hypermarket in his previous life, applauding and shouting loudly: "Come on, come on!" Walk through, pass by, don't miss out! Real mountain game! Authentic ingredients for pure deliciousness! ”
A little girl with red lips and white teeth, still a soft and glutinous children's voice, probably no one will hate it.
What's more important is that it's novel and interesting.
After a while, it attracted a lot of passers-by
There is no woman in the common people who is not good to show their heads, not to mention that the social atmosphere is open at this time, and the status of women is quite high. They are remote in Qingyang County, although they can't catch up with Chang'an, but the woman can at least go out shopping. In particular, the gathering place of agricultural and sideline products is a frequent place for the majority of women in Qingyang County.
They all have children, and when they see a small person like Liu Chenxing working so hard, they can't help laughing, and there is an endless stream of funny people.
