Chapter 32 Buying and Selling
Sister, I'm a little sleepy.
Qiao Ruxin and Qiao Ruyi, Qiao Laixing was busy, a little tired, and his eyes were closed.
Qiao Ruyi was very distressed when she saw it, so she stepped forward and hugged Qiao Ruxin in her arms, Qiao Ruxin also stretched out her small arm to wrap her arms around Qiao Ruyi's neck, and leaned her head on Qiao Ruyi's shoulder.
Qiao Laixing said to Qiao Ruyi while lighting the fire:
Sister, you can go in and sleep with Ruxin, I'll do it here.
Do you know how long it will take to burn?
Qiao Ruyi asked a little uneasily.
Sister, I know, a quarter of an hour, you said earlier.
Qiao Laixing replied.
Well, right.
Qiao Ruyi nodded back, stood up and hugged Qiao Ruxin back to the back room and put it on the kang.
Qiao Ru's soft-hearted voice sounded:
Sister, don't go-
Qiao Ruyi was just about to leave his hand, and after hearing Qiao Ruxin's words, he replied softly:
Okay, I'm not leaving, just watch by your side, and go to bed obediently.
Qiao Ruxin nodded, her small mouth purring.
This child seems to be tired today, Qiao Ruyi thought about it, covered the quilt for her, and thought about squinting next to her for a while, she was also tired this day, and fell asleep this time.
Sister-
I don't know how long I slept, Qiao Ruyi heard Qiao Laixing calling herself, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Qiao Laixing standing in front of her.
Laixing, how long have I been asleep.
Sister, it didn't take long.
Qiao Laixing replied.
Qiao Ruyi turned around and looked out through the window, only to see a little starlight outside, and the moon was already full. It looks like it's halfway through the night. glanced at Qiao Ruxin next to her again, and saw that she was still asleep, so she got off the kang lightly. Walked to the kitchen with Qiao Laixing.
The steamed buns have been steamed, and they are all picked up on the cover mat at the moment, all of them are straight and very full. The epidermis is also smooth and smooth, with no broken skin.
Qiao Ruyi said with a smile:
This time the steaming is even better than the last time. Laixing, you are really getting more and more capable.
Qiao Laixing heard Qiao Ruyi's words, touched his head embarrassedly, and smiled.
Qiao Ruyi stepped forward and counted it, this time he made a total of thirty steamed buns, ten steamed buns of various colors, and saw that there was still an unextinguished fire under the stove, and the water in the pot was still warm, so he put the steamed buns back in the pot and said:
Let's put the steamed buns in the pot and warm them first, and it will be hot tomorrow.
Qiao Ruyi said, and then asked:
By the way, have you eaten Laixing?
Qiao Laixing nodded and said, "Sister, I'll eat."
Alright, let's go to bed early. Go to town early tomorrow morning.
Qiao Ruyi said, and took Qiao Laixing to the back room, and the three sisters and brothers of the family fell asleep on the hot kang.
Early in the morning of the second day, Qiao Ruyi got up early, she was worried about how today's business was, so she woke up when the first rooster crowed, she got up and dressed, saw that Qiao Laixing Qiao Ruxin was still sleeping, and planned to let the two sleep for a while, lightly got off the kang, first looked at the steamed buns in the pot, as just made yesterday, the appearance was very good, and the heart was relieved, and then came to the yard, and saw that there was not much firewood left, so he took the sickle and went to the back mountain to beat a bundle of firewood back.
Sister, you went to the back mountain to fetch firewood.
After Qiao Lai woke up, he saw that Qiao Ruyi was not there, and when he walked into the yard, he saw Qiao Ruyi coming back with a bundle of firewood. While asking, he went to pick up the firewood behind Qiao Ruyi.
Qiao Ruyi nodded.
Qiao Laixing says:
Sister, next time I'll go, where is there a woman going to fetch firewood.
Qiao Ruyi listened to it and said with a smile:
What is this, I got up early in the morning and didn't have anything to do, so I went to the back mountain to chop some firewood, we are not far from the back mountain, and it is convenient to go back and forth.
No, sister, you listen to me, I'll go fetch firewood in the future.
Qiao Laixing kept a straight face and insisted.
Okay, I'm not going, I'll go later.
Qiao Ru thought that Qiao Laixing insisted like this, so he had to compromise, and looked up again to see that the sun was about to rise, so he said again:
Let's get some food and go to town.
Well.
Qiao Laixing responded.
Qiao Ruxin walked out with her little short legs, and when she heard Qiao Ruyi's words, she shouted happily:
Go to dinner, go up the town mountain
Qiao Ru agreed and smiled.
After a brief meal, the three of them put the prepared steamed buns in the burden, and Qiao Laixing carried the burden and went to the town together.
Qiao Ruyi deliberately came to the cross street that was optimistic about yesterday, where people came and went lively, there were many people, and there were several men who were selling their own vegetables and vegetables, Qiao Ruyi asked Qiao Laixing to put down the burden, and lifted the cover cloth to reveal three or five steamed buns outside.
The red date steamed buns are fragrant and sweet, the pumpkin steamed buns are yellow and clear, and the purple potato steamed buns are bright purple.
Hey, you see, this steamed bun is really chic and looks good.
No, it smells sweet.
How much is this steamed bun?
The three women looked good-looking and asked for the price.
Qiao Ruyi greeted the guest with a smile and said:
Auntie, these three kinds of steamed buns are red date steamed buns, pumpkin steamed buns, and purple potato steamed buns, all of which are three cents.
Oh, it's cheap, the first woman said.
Not expensive, not expensive, the second woman said, although she said it was not expensive, but her face was still hesitant.
These three women are also women who run a family, and they are used to being thrifty on weekdays, and although they like it, they don't pay for it.
Qiao Ruyi looked at it, and then said:
This is our sister and brother just made it yesterday, it's still hot, we didn't do more, but there are only thirty in total, auntie, if you want it, you have to hurry, we can't eat it today after we sell out, these three kinds of steamed buns are not as good as one of each, and it is also cost-effective to take them home and give them to the children at home as snacks.
That's right, that kid in my family, just loves to eat sugar, you say, how expensive this sugar is, every time he makes a fuss, he buys a piece to eat, this candy will be eaten for a while and will not pad his stomach, and he will eat it again, it is not as good as this colorful steamed bun, it is not as good as this colorful steamed bun, it is good-looking, but also hungry. The third woman said, "Bring me a steamed bun with red dates."
When she saw that her companion had bought it, the first woman was very ruthless and said:
Give me a purple sweet potato steamed bun.
The second woman raised her voice a little and said, "Give me one for each of these three steamed buns."
Great.
Qiao Ruyi thought that the three women in front of her all took out the money, and promised to take their silver first, Qiao Laixing was responsible for taking the steamed buns, Qiao Ruyi looked at it this way, and found that there was no wrapping paper for this steamed buns, so they couldn't just let people take it away.
It's okay, it's okay, give it to us.
The three women didn't care, and said.
Qiao Ruyi apologized and declared that the next time they came, they would definitely prepare the wrapping paper.
The three women saw that Qiao Ruyi was also clever when she spoke, and she didn't pay so much attention to herself, so she took it and left with a smile.
Qiao Ruyi sent the three of them away, looked at the money in his hand, a total of fifteen wen, counted it and put it in his pocket, and then said to Qiao Laixing, Qiao Ruxin:
You two are watching here, and I'm going to see where the wrappers are sold.
Well, sister, go ahead.
Qiao Laixing, Qiao Ruxin nodded in agreement.
Shuiwan Town is not like Qiaojiazhuang, every family is farming, when there is nothing to do, it is to visit the door and chat, the town at this moment one by one shops are open, ready to welcome customers, do small business carrying the burden along the road to sell. Gradually, there are more people, stopping and choosing the goods they need.
