Soon it was market day again, and the last time Bai Lao Niang went to Taoxi Town to successfully sell the basket of wild raspberries for 200 yuan, she couldn't stop laughing all the way.

In the Dakang Dynasty, the folk pass is copper money and silver two, a thousand Wen money is always equal to about one tael of silver, copper money and silver are the two most popular among the people, in comparison, gold is much rarer, generally only circulated among the upper nobles, gold is more valuable, one hundred taels of silver is only one or two gold.

However, both silver and gold are relatively scarce, so they are not so fair in terms of exchange. Generally speaking, one tael of silver can be exchanged for a thousand yuan, that is, consistent money, but it is difficult to exchange consistent money for one or two silver, and gold is even more so, and if you want to exchange it for silver, you need to add some money.

However, Bai Mingxuan was a little skeptical about the purity of the gold here, but she was as poor as she was, and she hadn't seen it yet, and the silver that Aunt Bai borrowed last time was the most money she had ever seen.

The wild raspberries on the east mountain of Taohua Village can be harvested again, and the ripening time is the same as the drying time of the medicinal herbs, Bai Mingxuan went to the mountain to pick another basket and came back.

This time, Bai Mingxuan begged Bai Lao Niang for several days, and finally got the opportunity to go to Taoxi Town with her.

After packing up the medicinal herbs and wild raspberries, Bai Mingxuan followed Bai Lao Niang out.

After the bumps of the ox cart along the way, the two arrived at the town of Peach Creek.

The bazaar was shouting and shouting, and people came and went, but it was still as lively as ever.

After paying the two-penny booth fee, the two set up a stall in a more lively area.

The market opened early and dispersed early, and Bai Mingxuan planned to sell wild raspberries first and then sell medicinal herbs.

Bai Lao Niang put out some vegetables grown in the vegetable garden at home and the bamboo basket woven by Bai Da, and began to sell them when they were placed.

The voice was high-pitched and loud, full of neutrality: "Sell vegetables!" Fresh, clean and cheap vegetables! ”

"Home-made bamboo baskets are sold cheaply! Old sister, let's take a look. ”

The white lady is shrewd and capable, the clamor overshadows the others, and the prices of the things in the stall are also reasonable, and someone will come to choose them immediately.

"How do you sell this basket?" The person who came was a thin old lady carrying a shabby bamboo basket, she bent down and turned out a bamboo basket, looked up and asked the white lady.

As soon as Mrs. Bai saw that someone was asking for the price, she immediately cheered up and replied attentively: "This bamboo basket is made by my son, and the craftsmanship is good and cheap, and a basket only costs six yuan." ”

Six yuan, even if he already knows the price, Bai Mingxuan still feels a pity, Taoxi Town is rich in bamboo, and people who can weave baskets abound, so bamboo products such as bamboo baskets here have not been sold at a price, even if the big white baskets are tightly and densely woven, they are always bargained.

Sure enough, she is still too expensive for six cents.

"Yo, six cents? It's too expensive. The thin old lady shook her head, put down her gesture and left, "It's too expensive, and I can't afford it." ”

"Hey, the craftsmanship of this basket is all good, and the six cents are really not expensive." Bai Lao Niang didn't want to give up this customer, "Forget it, it's cheaper for you, how about five cents?" ”

"Hmm...... It's still a bit expensive," the thin old lady stopped and nodded reluctantly, "Okay, it's not easy for you, five cents is five cents, I want one." ”

"Yes, yes, come, old sister, pick one." Selling a basket, the white lady smiled.

"There's nothing to pick, so be it." The thin old lady said this, but her hand turned over several times before she chose a basket, and then she stood up and took out five copper coins from her belt and gave them to the white lady.

Selling a bamboo basket, Mrs. Bai was very happy, "Old sister, I am in this position every time, and I will come again next time!" ”

One morning passed, all the vegetables brought were sold, and the basket was sold three, but only a few people asked the price of the wild raspberries in the basket, and no one offered the right price to buy them.

Bai Mingxuan couldn't help but be a little anxious, turned her head to look at Bai Lao Niang and asked, "Grandma, this wild raspberry hasn't been sold yet, will it be ......?"

Bai Lao Niang saw her anxiety, smiled unhurriedly and said: "It's okay, it's normal that sometimes no one buys in this market, let's go to the alley to sell later, there are rich people over there, there are always people selling." ”

Hearing her say this, Bai Mingxuan also calmed down. Yes, there's nothing to rush about, I'm just expecting too much.

Another basket was sold, and the white lady planned to pack up her things and leave.

Picking up the remaining baskets, wild raspberries and medicinal herbs, the two of them walked towards the residential area.

Walk out of the bazaar street and turn left again to reach the residential area.

The houses in this alley are all clean and well-kept, and although there are no high-ranking households, it is not difficult to see that they all have money to spare.

"This alley is called Osmanthus Lane, and it is not inhabited by rich and noble people, but they are all small families, and it is better to sell wild raspberries." Bai Lao Niang popularized knowledge to Bai Mingxuan.

Bai Mingxuan looked carefully, most of the houses in this Osmanthus Lane were blue bricks and black tiles, and there were no new ones, but they were all cleaned up neatly and neatly, and they were generally taller than the houses in the countryside. Several fences are covered with vines, adding a bit of greenery to the alley.

In the alley, a few children are laughing and playing on the bluestone road, and there are vendors carrying burdens to sell things, which adds a bit of liveliness to this osmanthus lane.

Bai Lao Niang asked Bai Mingxuan to take the basket of wild raspberries and follow behind, and when she walked in, she began to sell them.

"Selling wild raspberries—" the voice was clear and long, "fragrant and sweet wild raspberries—"

Bai Mingxuan followed behind, silently remembering Bai Lao Niang's method of selling.

The children in the alley heard and looked at it a few times and then went to play again, and no one came up to inquire for a while.

The white lady was not discouraged, and walked into the alley and continued to shout.

When the two of them reached the end of the alley and needed to turn a corner, someone came out to ask.

A plainly dressed young woman in a blue dress came out of the door, turned to look at the white lady, and asked, "Do you sell wild raspberries?" How to sell? ”

When the white lady saw someone asking, she immediately smiled on her face, and took out the basket containing wild raspberries to show her, "It's the wild raspberries picked yesterday afternoon, it's fresh, you can look at the price." ”

The young woman pinched a few with her hands and looked at them, with a hint of satisfaction on her face, "It's quite fresh, how about this basket of three hundred wen?" ”

Three hundred yuan, more than Bai Lao Niang expected, heard this and nodded with a smile, "Okay, then three hundred yuan!" ”

I thought to myself that this woman is really generous, and she really sold it for a good price today.

"You wait, I'll go in and get the money." And when she had said that, the young woman went in the door.

After a while, she came out, holding a string of copper coins in her hand, and handed it to Bai Lao Niang, "This is three hundred coins, you can count them." ”

As soon as the white lady looked at it, she knew how many there were, and her smile was satisfied, "Enough is enough, you can take the wild raspberries." Fresh and clean, you can eat it with just a wash. ”

She nodded, picked up the basket and went inside.

Bai Mingxuan was relieved at this time, but she didn't expect to be able to sell three hundred yuan, and they made it today.
