Chapter 142: Setting up a stall
Li Datong also didn't want to talk about it anymore, lest they get involved with the Yuan family again.
It was quiet for a long time, in stark contrast to the convoy and people who were gradually converging around them, and the people were happy and happy, and they were cold.
For a while, the two women also felt a little uncomfortable, probably because of their weak hearts, and they felt that they had stiffened the atmosphere, so the two of them began to gossip again, pretending to be happy and lively.
They walked from the west of the village to the east of the village, and they didn't have a door on their lips, whether it was true or not.
Anyway, I just have to talk about it.
It's really noisy.
Yuan Man was impatient, but the sporadic gossip still got into her ears.
The daughter-in-law of a certain family has not had a baby after marrying into the door for three or four years, it must be that she has some disease.
She wondered, why did they say that the woman was sick, and they didn't see them, and they talked about the man?
Another example is why a certain family gives birth to a girl a year, sells a girl a year when they grow up, and then sells a girl to build a side room, and now the new house is almost ready.
Yuan Man is simply shocked!!
If this is true, then it is simply to give birth to a child to sell!?
People have become goods completely......
While here it is legal to buy/sell/human being that is.
But Yuan Man still thinks that it is terrible to sell it for money when his father and mother give birth to a child.
The two women are still chewing on the root of their tongues one by one, and the more they talk later, the more they forget about the embarrassment.
The ox cart slowly and leisurely merged into the crowd, and soon reached the south of the town.
Li Datong stopped in one place and let the three women get out of the car first, while he took the three children to the same street where he was going to do something, and he was more at ease if he was closer to him.
Other people's children go out with him, and they are from the same village, so they should take care of them.
They came early in the morning, so there were still places to set up stalls on the street.
Li Datong thought about a few children, so he enthusiastically helped find a stall.
The location is just around the corner of the alley down the street.
On the right is the main street.
On the left is a stall selling bamboo products.
The stall owner is an old man with gray hair, he is still weaving while taking care of the stall, his arm muscles are bulging, he still looks very strong, and his body is very tough.
Seeing that Li Datong was still nodding and smiling at him, he looked quite amiable.
The old man walked over there and there were all kinds of stalls, which had already been shouted.
Li Datong nodded and greeted the old man, and then he also helped to take down the back basket and scale on the ox cart and put it up, and beckoned the three children to stand behind the back basket, and then said to them: "Wu boy, you can sell it here!" Things are just laid out, don't move them out, lest you get in the way of others, the big brothers of the officials are going to come to the murderer. ”
They set up their stalls for the first time, and of course they listened to experienced adults.
The three children were also polite and obedient, and nodded obediently in agreement: "Thank you, Uncle Li, we know." ”
Li Datong nodded with a smile, and asked uneasily: "By the way, do you dare to sell?" ”
Selling things is also particular about shouting, just look at the shouting around you.
Yuan Man was a little hesitant, although it was the first time to set up a stall, she should dare.
So she was about to open her mouth to answer that she dared.
Li Datong saw the anxiety and hesitation on the faces of the three children, so he spoke first and comforted: "Actually, it's okay, if you dare to shout, you can shout, if you don't dare, you will guard the stall. ”
Yuan Man, Yuan Wu and Fang Ping all listened to the explanation seriously.
Uncle Li is willing to take the time to explain these things to them, that is to take care of them, how can you not remember his kindness, and the blind people are kind?
Li Datong has always been enthusiastic, and explained to them in detail: "Your fungus will cost five cents a catty, remember that no matter what others say, don't let go, you will lose if you loosen your mouth!" At this time, the price is relatively cheap, and later it means that the price is higher. ”
He said this and looked at the sky, and then said: "This day is sunny at this time of year, but I am afraid that the rainy season will be longer this year, and this fungus will be in demand at that time." ”
Yuan Man and the others followed Li Datong to look at the sky, and they looked very teachable.
The price set by Yuan Man at the beginning was also five cents, this thing was dried, not proportionate, once it was to be eaten, it was soaked up, and the amount was a lot.
And after drying, it will have the same special umami taste as shiitake mushrooms.
So the asking price of five cents is really not expensive, and this thing is indeed quite popular.
After Li Datong finished explaining, he smiled at the old man next door who looked at him from time to time: "If my brother is free, can you help take care of one or two, in the end, he is still a child, and he is afraid that they will make mistakes when collecting money, I am not very relieved, don't be bluffed." ”
Li Datong spoke politely, smiled brightly, and was not annoying.
At this time, most of the people are quite human.
The old man also agreed with a smile, and asked again, "Is it your relative's child?" ”
Li Datong replied with a smile: "In the same village, when the children grew up, they thought about trying to do business by themselves, so I brought them over by the way, you said I can't take care of them?" ”
The old man nodded with a smile and said, "No, if you don't look up in a village, you are also a warm-hearted person, okay, you can go ahead, I will help you watch it." ”
Yuan Man reacted and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, Uncle Li, thank you, uncle." ”
provoked the old man to smile at Li Datong and said: "This girl is clever, I see, others can't bluff her." ”
Li Datong smiled and agreed, then asked the three children not to run around, and then said a few words to the old man, and hurriedly drove the ox cart away.
Vehicles can't be parked for too long.
If you don't leave for a while, you will be met by the officials, and it is estimated that you will have to be scolded and punished.
Yuan Man saw Uncle Li leaving, so he beckoned Yuan Wu Fang Ping to sit down.
Their stalls were placed on both sides of the alley, next to the side walls of the shops, and the shops here were higher than the road, and they all had low steps.
The old man was sitting on the low steps.
Yuan Man did the same, beckoned Yuan Wu and Fang Ping to sit down together, and then pulled the leaves on the top of the small back basket apart, revealing the dry fungus inside.
The three children had a total of three baskets, neatly arranged horizontally.
Yuan Man and Fang Ping's are small back baskets, and Yuan Wu's is a big back basket carried by adults.
They've been doing a great job in the past six days.
This year, the ground fungus did grow early, so they grabbed it first.
Therefore, Yuan Wu and Yuan Jinbao have a lot of shares, and Fang Ping only picks one morning a day, so hers is less than them, but she also has half a small basket.
Know that these are sun-dried amounts.
However, after the villagers in the back find out, it is estimated that it will be difficult to grab so much.
Yuan Man has room to cheat, otherwise it wouldn't be much more than what they take.
The ground fungus has to be dried when it is picked back, this thing dries quickly, and the weather is also very powerful.
Therefore, there are three baskets in front of them filled with beautiful fungus.
Fang Ping also felt happy when he saw it, but looking at the people coming and going, he also asked with some apprehension: "Brother Aman Wuzi, do you think you can sell it?" ”
Although Uncle Li told them that this thing was not to be sold, she was still a little worried.
Yuan Man smiled and said, "Definitely can!" ”
