Chapter 13: Harvested
As the sun sinks in the west, a golden afterglow spills over the streets.
"Hey, you go slowly." Su Qiqiao smiled and took the five large copper plates, and handed a large basket to a woman, with a smile on his face.
In less than half an hour, they had sold all the big baskets, and only the small basket made of wisteria remained.
"Great, Sister Qiqiao, it's only been a while, and we've earned fifteen copper plates!" Xiaolian counted the copper plates in her hand, her face was full of intoxication, and she had a wonderful expression like a dream.
Since she was a child, she has never gotten so much money, although she will hand it over to Wang Qingyun in a while, but it is better to have a good time now.
"Well, that's it." Su Qiqiao smiled with relief and moved his shoulders.
Xiaolian leaned over, looked at Su Qiqiao with a smile on her face, and whispered, "Sister Qiqiao, the first lady to come over was invited by you." ”
"Or else." Su Qiqiao pouted, "Everyone is not like this, as long as there is the first one, the back will naturally come." ”
"Cut, I know." When Xiaolian heard this, she turned her head and happened to see the old woman on the opposite side whose whole body seemed to have been petrified on the spot......
As soon as the old woman saw Xiaolian's gaze move over, she quickly turned her head with a weak face.
"Huh, how's it going? Old woman! Who said we couldn't sell any of them? Xiaolian hooked her lips and smiled, naturally she would not let go of her good opportunity to take revenge.
Su Qiqiao was stunned for a moment and didn't speak, but he also gave the old woman a smile full of meaning.
"You ...... One by one, what are you, selling a basket and really thinking that you are not a beggar? When the old woman heard this, how could she be laughed at by the two little girls, and when she saw their stalls, she quickly sneered at each other, "There are all the bells and whistles every day, I see who wants your broken basket!"
"You!" Xiaolian was about to go back, Su Qiqiao grabbed her hand and shook her head gently, "Forget it, don't worry about this kind of person, we sell ours and envy her to death." ”
"That's right, I still have to make money, what's the anger with an old woman, it's a net delay for me to do business." Xiaolian was stunned for a moment, snorted coldly, and deliberately made a long sound, which made the old woman opposite so angry that she almost scolded.
"Hey, a bunch of uneducated little beggars." The old woman sneered and began to clean up the stall.
Xiaolian turned her head and asked, "Sister Qiqiao, can this little one still be sold?" ”
Just now, it was obvious that many passers-by liked this wisteria basket, but as soon as they heard the price of six copper plates, they left one after another.
Su Qiqiao shook his head uncertainly, "...... I don't know, but I also understand that everyone buys baskets for a durable one, unless it is a rich person from some large families, they will buy a picture for fun. ”
Xiao Jin nodded in agreement, after all, at first glance, although this basket is beautifully made, the capacity is really not as good as the big basket.
While the two were thinking about it, a woman wearing green cloud silk and a pan-headed head came over, and when she saw this wisteria basket, her eyes lit up instantly, and she picked it up.
"Yes, yes, although the workmanship is a little rough, but it is better than the beautiful weaving, especially the wisteria flowers on it." The woman liked it instantly, and looked up at them, "How much, I want it." ”
From the moment the woman came over just now, Su Qiqiao hurriedly messed up half of her long hair, this person she knew, the old bustard of Chunfeng Building, Zhao Chunxiang.
Xiaolian didn't know very well, after all, the only time Zhao Chunxiang went to the beggar shelter before, he was also going to send Xia Yuxi to Chunfeng Building, and Xiaolian hadn't come over yet, so she didn't know this person.
Back then, because Su Qiqiao was born with a good-looking and thin goose egg face, Zhao Chunxiang didn't notice Su Qiqiao, if she hadn't been a sick seedling all those years and had a weak appearance all day long, I was afraid that she would have been sold to Chunfeng Lou a long time ago.
Xiaolian showed a smile and was about to speak, when suddenly Su Qiqiao held her hand with her backhand, and said in a hoarse voice, "Because this is the last one, and the working conditions are relatively harsh, so ...... Fixed price, eight copper plates. ”
"Eight copper plates!" Zhao Chunxiang was taken aback, obviously not expecting it to be so expensive.
Xiaolian was also dumbfounded, she didn't expect Su Qiqiao to open her mouth so loudly, and lifted two copper plates in one go.
"Okay, my mother is in a good mood today, I want it." Zhao Chunxiang didn't know why, thought for a moment, took out eight copper plates from the big red purse close to him, and handed them to Su Qiqiao.
"Well, thank you." Su Qiqiao took it indifferently, as if he had expected it.
Anyway, Xia Yuxi was forced to be disfigured by Mrs. Wang and Zhao Chunxiang back then, she always remembered this incident, so she naturally wanted to take a hard shot.
Zhao Chunxiang took the wisteria basket with a smile on her face and asked, "I see how you are dressed, are you a homeless little beggar?" ”
Su Qiqiao was taken aback, nodded, and said casually, "Well, I just came to this town, and if you are not familiar with the place, you will sell some baskets." ”
"So that's the case, then I'll show you a clear way, there is a person named Wang Pozi in the southeast corner, you go to her, and promise not to suffer." Zhao Chunxiang smiled, and almost vomited Su Qiqiao with one sentence.
“…… Let's take a look. Su Qiqiao nodded intentionally or unintentionally.
"Okay, but I see that the two of you are also helpless, if you are really desperate, go to Chunfeng Building to find me." Zhao Chunxiang slowly drew the way.
"Let's go, Xiaolian." Su Qiqiao didn't bother to pay attention to her, packed up her things with Xiaolian, and left quickly.
Xiaolian had a skeptical expression on her face, turned her head and said, "Sister Qiqiao, she just said Chunfeng Lou, is she the old bustard, Zhao Chunxiang?" ”
"Well, that's good." Su Qiqiao nodded solemnly, "You'd better be careful, this person has a good relationship with Mrs. Wang, don't you be sold by her one day without knowing." ”
"No, it won't!" Xiaolian's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, she touched her delicate face, panicked instantly, and muttered to herself, "That's over, I'm so good-looking, she must be thinking about me!" Sister Qiqiao, why didn't you tell me earlier!"
Su Qiqiao glanced at her speechlessly, and sneered, "Don't worry, what she thinks about is that I'm about the same, you are honest, and I don't know you, she will forget it in two days at most." ”
"That's pretty much it!" Xiaolian breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on her face, "Great, we made a total of money this time...... Twenty-three copper plates!"
"Okay, be quiet, so that others don't know." Su Qiqiao couldn't help but laugh and said casually.
"Oh, that's good, twenty-three copper plates!" Suddenly, a gloomy laugh sounded without warning, startling them!
At some point, they came to a corner, and saw that there were sparsely populated and there were several large trees, and three thugs came over, staring at them with sinister faces, like lambs to the slaughter.
