Ai Laohu carefully looked at the autumn color practice, and also started to move, but he didn't expect that his big hands like a fan would do this manual work without any difference, fast and steady.

The three haystacks were all filled, and Qiu Shi also carried a smaller haystack, "Dad, you still go to the place where canned food is sold on weekdays, and Gazi and I will go around the vicinity of the county office." ”

"Huh? Are you going to sell it at the county office? Not at the docks? Ai Laohu asked in surprise.

Qiu Se shook his head, "This thing is so expensive, ordinary people must not be able to afford it, you have to wait for the cargo ship to sell it at the dock, it's too wasteful of time, and the watermelon cutting will be bad if it is open for a long time." And there is another reason why she didn't say it, the watermelon that Gazi took away didn't cost a penny, although Gazi looks more realistic, but the heart of defense is indispensable.

Ai Laohu scratched the beard on his face and nodded, "Yes, you go, the people who live there in the county government should be willing to pay this money to buy, if not, you can go to Ronghua Street, there are many shops and people over there, if someone makes trouble, report my name!" ”

"Then dare to be kind, we will make a big banner with the name of the tiger master!" Autumn color hehe laughed.

"Okay, let you go, let's go." Ai Laohu was not annoyed, and waved his hand to drive the autumn color and a few people into the street.

Out of the dock, Qiu Se and Gazi separated from Ding Dafu and went to the vicinity of the county office.

The layout of Qingshui Town is poor in the east and rich in the west, the south is rich and the north is mixed, the wharf in the west and the civilian residence in the east are already very familiar, but the county government located in the south is the first time to come.

Along the way, the autumn color found that this side is not as prosperous as the west of the town but not bad, although the shop is not everywhere, but the gatehouse of Zhumen Shishi is a lot, I heard that there is a county school behind the county office, there are many shops selling pen, ink, paper and inkstone nearby, Ronghua Street is a little farther away from the county office.

"Sister Qiuse, why are there so few people here? No, let's go back to the docks. Gazi followed all the way and found that there were fewer and fewer people, so he couldn't help but be a little anxious.

"Everybody's in the house! Let's shout a few times, and we can probably come out. Autumn reassured.

Really? Gazi scratched his head, "Then I shouted?" ”

"Shout." Someone does it for you, and the autumn colors are happy.

Gazi cleared his throat, "Sell watermelon!" Watermelon, sell watermelon! ”

In this way, he shouted and walked forward, and after walking less than a hundred meters, a family next to him opened the door, and out came a person dressed as a young woman in a blue cloth dress, only to see half of her body hidden in the door, stretched out her head and asked, "Hey, are you shouting to sell watermelons?" ”

"Yes, big sister! Do you want to have a tooth? Twenty-five Wen and one tooth. Gazi is worthy of being a person who often walks in the market, this mouth is sweet enough, and he has already answered before Qiu Shi can speak.

The young woman's eyes lit up and she asked again, "Is it a watermelon?" It's only twenty-five texts? Seeing that Gazi nodded in affirmation, he hurriedly said: "Don't leave first, wait for a while!" With that, he hurried back.

Soon the young woman came out again, and this time she stepped out of the threshold and stood on the stone steps and asked, "Can it be cheaper, and if it can be cheaper, I will buy it." ”

"This ......," Gazi looked at the autumn colors in embarrassment.

Qiu Se didn't expect the first guest to come up and bargain, so she asked her, "Then how much are you going to buy?" If you buy more, I'll give you a bargain. ”

Who knows, when Qiu Se said this, the young woman folded her face, "Hey, you can just give me a cheap price, you say this is a watermelon, how can a real watermelon be so cheap?" If you don't want to buy it for my little master, who will take care of you! ”

Autumn color was angry, "Have you ever eaten watermelon this lady?" ”

"Who you say hasn't eaten watermelon? Are you laughing at me? Tell you that this is the mansion of Fang Shu's office, be careful that I call the yacha to arrest you! The young woman's face turned red, and she felt that she was underestimated by the autumn color, and her angry voice was raised.

As soon as Gazi heard that this was the book office, his face immediately turned white, and he came over and pulled Qiuse's arm, "Sister Qiuse, don't say it." ”

Autumn color is also very angry, she is selling a watermelon, how did she meet such a crazy woman! If she had eaten a watermelon, would she not know that it was a cut watermelon?

As he was at a stalemate, another woman came out of the door, this woman was a little older, wearing a crimson silk dress and a golden hairpin in her hair, and she asked the young woman with a calm face, "Why are you so grinding when you buy something?" Still shouting so loudly, embarrassing our Fang family's face! ”

When the young woman saw her, she immediately looked like a mouse seeing a cat, shrunk her head and bent down to hang her head, "Back to the eldest lady, this seller is not honest, and what she sells is obviously not a watermelon, but a watermelon." ”

"This lady, what I am selling here is indeed a watermelon, but it is cut, this little lady must not recognize it." Seeing that this woman was obviously dressed up a grade higher than the previous young woman, and judging from what she said, she was still in charge, so she immediately stepped forward to talk to her, and secretly praised her.

The Daliang Dynasty only allowed the original wife of a high-ranking official to be called Mrs., and the hostess of the common people's house was generally called a lady, such as the husband's surname Li was called Li Niangzi, and the unmarried women generally lived in the boudoir only according to the name of the family, and those who showed up like autumn colors would be called the ladies of the Ding family.

Sure enough, the woman couldn't help but smile when she heard Qiu Se call her Mrs., and the wrinkles on her face were a lot more, and she waved her hand, "What kind of lady am I!" Let me see what you're selling? Ah, what a watermelon! It's just, how did you cut it all? "I didn't think that this woman was a knowledgeable person.

Qiu Se was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Yes, I cut the watermelon and sold it, otherwise I will have to pay for a watermelon for twenty-five dollars!" But all this made this little lady misunderstand. ”

The woman pursed her lips disdainfully, "One of her lowly concubines has been poor for five generations, where have you ever eaten watermelon?!" ”

Yes? The young woman is a concubine? Qiu Se and Gazi were stunned, could it be that this woman is the lady of Fang Shuban?!

Fang Niangzi asked Qiuse, "How did you sell this watermelon?" Twenty-five wen, right? ”

"Yes, buy four teeth and get one free." The autumn color that came back to his senses hurriedly replied.

"Ah, give it back?" Fang Niangzi asked happily.

"Yes." Qiu Se nodded, and asked her again, "How much does Mrs. Fang plan to buy?" ”

Fang Niangzi was happy to be held by a lady on the left and a lady on the right in the autumn color, and waved her hand when she asked, "If you buy more, you can buy more, and give me four, it's not the one you give, it's really the family with a large population, and the lack is not enough." ”

"Yes, you said that they are all a family, you can't eat one by one!" Qiu Se called Gazi on the side, "Quickly pick a bigger one for Madame." ”

"Okay." Seeing that things had taken a turn for the worse and he had sold watermelons, Gazi was also happy, so he concentrated on picking watermelons for Fang Niangzi.

Fang Niangzi directly took out a string of copper plates from her sleeve pocket and handed it to Qiu Se, "It's just one hundred Wen here, you count it." ”

Qiu Se smiled, "Madame, where will I be less money from this peddler." As he spoke, he put the copper plate directly into the money bag.

Fang Niangzi was quite satisfied with Qiu Se's performance, after all, she was a book girl, could she still be greedy for such a cheap and embarrassing person? He smiled and said, "If you shout a few more times on this street, it is estimated that someone will come out to buy it in a while." ”

"Thank you, ma'am." Qiu Se thanked Fang Niangzi, and saw that she called the young woman into the courtyard and continued to walk forward with Gazi.

"Sister Qiuse, it's really sold." Gazi still didn't believe that he could earn a hundred yuan in this way, he had never seen so much money in a year before, and he was a little fluttering even when he walked at this time.

"Hmm." The autumn colors are also very happy, although there are a bit of twists and turns, but the result is still good.

"Then I'll keep shouting." Gazi shouted as he spoke, "Watermelon, sell watermelon!" ”

The autumn color also came to the interest, and then shouted: "Watermelon, sweet and watery watermelon, twenty-five wen and one tooth, buy four teeth and get one tooth free......"

"Hey, the watermelon seller." This time, the customer caught up from behind, an older man, he looked at the watermelon pieces on the haystack of the two, and asked suspiciously: "This is the watermelon?" ”

Without waiting for Qiu Se to answer, another old man came from the front and spoke, "This is the watermelon after cutting, Old Man Liang, don't you know each other?" ”

Old man Liang stiffened his neck, "How can I not know him?" Didn't I just say that this is watermelon. Chong Qiuse said again: "It's buy four and get one free, right?" Bring me four teeth. ”

Not to be outdone, the old man in the future said, "I also want four teeth." ”

Sold ten teeth at once, lost Qiuse and Gazi together, and the two of them were each responsible for one, and each earned a hundred yuan.

Then the guests came out of their own house, some of them wanted to eat watermelon, some were attracted by the saying of buy four get one free, and some were called out by the neighbors, in short, the watermelons of the two of them were on fire, and when they walked out of this alley, the watermelons on the two stacks had gone down half, fortunately, the autumn colors never met the first young woman like a figure.

"Gazi, you go to the alley next to you in a while, I'll go next to the next one, and go back to the dock directly after it's sold out!" Qiu Se felt that it was too much time for the two to stay together, so she decided to separate.

"Okay." Gazi is also very excited, when did he make so much money, it would be nice if it was all his, but although it was not his own addiction, it would be good!

Autumn colors carried a haystack of alleys, and the watermelons were sold out before they finished walking, and when they walked back, they met Gazi, who was also rushing to the dock.

"Sister Qiuse, I can't imagine that watermelons are so expensive, and these people are still rushing to buy them! If only I had sold so many firewood. Saying that, Gazi couldn't help but feel a little sad.

"Actually, you can also cut more firewood and sell it door-to-door in the south of the town after drying it, and then you can charge an extra two cents per bundle of firewood." Qiu Se was happy and couldn't bear to be so uncomfortable, so he gave him advice. Door-to-door delivery can be overcharged in the present tense, and it was okay in ancient times!

"What if they don't need firewood?"

"Then you just ask them what they need, and then bring them next time." Autumn colors are casual road.

"It's like someone just told us to send watermelons tomorrow?" Gazi was thoughtful.

"Yes!" While talking, the two went to the teahouse and found that Ai Laohu was still sitting in the teahouse.

"You're all sold out?!" Ai Laohu looked at the empty haystack in disbelief.

Qiu Se sat down on the chair without any image, handed Gazi a bowl of water, poured himself a big sip of tea, and asked, "Where is my father?" Haven't come back yet? ”

Ai Laohu pointed to the door of the teahouse, "Isn't that also back." ”

"Dad, how is it selling?" Autumn Color hurriedly handed over a bowl of water.

Ding Dafu wiped the sweat on his face with his sleeve, and said excitedly: "It's all sold out, and then someone came to buy it and didn't buy it!" ”
