Chapter 267: Causeway Market
Shutong waved his hand and smiled, quickened his pace, and waited until the farmer looked up again, and found that the little girl had become a small dot in the distance, and was secretly speechless.
This child walks very fast, and I don't know which family it is, and he is alone in this country field, and he is not afraid of encountering wild beasts!
Dredging Tong Youxiu moved quickly, along the country road, and soon reached the fork in the road that the farmer said, and chose the one on the left to continue moving.
Along the way, there were gradually pedestrians, all of whom were countrymen, either carrying baskets or carrying burdens.
Many people didn't realize it, but they felt a flash of pink in front of them, and then looked up to see that a little girl had already surpassed them.
They all wondered if they were walking too slowly, and couldn't help but speed up their steps, but the burden was too heavy, and they quickly slowed down again.
Actually, Shutong didn't deliberately use her speed ability, but she still walked fast, and as more and more pedestrians passed on the road, she saw that the road widened.
On both sides of the road, you can see more farmland, and you can see distant villages, and you can hear the sound of chickens and dogs barking, and you can see that this place is very quiet and peaceful.
Today seems to be the day of the market, and there are more and more pedestrians on the road, most of whom are carrying their own products.
A little girl looks a little strange when she walks in the crowd, and the villagers who pass by always quietly look at her clothes and white face.
I don't know which pampered girl it is, why do you walk alone on the road?
The road winds forward, and you can slowly hear the noise ahead, turn a corner, and there is a torii in front of you.
Dredging is now literate, look at the three words on the archway, and sure enough, to Tongluo Town.
After the torii, there is a large open space in front of it, and many people have already found a place, set up stalls, and shout about their own products.
You can see that several roads converge here, and it seems that villagers from all over the country have gathered here, and a large-scale market has been formed here.
This Tongluo Town is completely different from Lotus Town, just a vacant lot and an archway, and there doesn't seem to be any fixed shops.
These people set up stalls on the side of the road at will, and they didn't even see anyone maintaining law and order.
Shutong walked around curiously and found that most of the agricultural products they sold were agricultural products, either from the fields or dry goods from the mountains.
Of course, there are also some people who come by ox cart, and the ox cart is filled with daily groceries such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.
Many villagers sold their belongings and bought daily necessities such as oil and salt, and rarely saw anything else.
Shutong walked around, there was really nothing to see, and he couldn't help but pout secretly, there was no food in this place!
She simply forgot that she was penniless, and even if she had something to sell, she couldn't come up with any money.
I lost interest when I looked around, but it happened that there was an old woman next to me who was selling the homespun cloth on the ox cart to the villagers.
"Come and see, these are my own woven fabrics! Ay! I said that the eldest brother should look at my family's cloth and buy a few feet to make clothes for his daughter-in-law! ”
The middle-aged man who was pulled by her scratched his head, pinched his purse, and asked a little awkwardly: "Auntie!" How to sell this flower cloth? ”
The woman smiled and said, "Look at my flower cloth, this color is dyed by my own family, it is bright enough!" It's not expensive, ten cents a foot, come! Pull three feet on your daughter-in-law, and you will definitely be able to please her when you go back! ”
Saying that, the mother-in-law took out a ruler and began to measure the cloth, and when the middle-aged man heard the price, he hurriedly waved his hand, "Forget it, your price is too expensive!" ”
The mother-in-law was not annoyed, grabbed him, and said with a smile: "I said big brother, don't be in a hurry to leave!" In this way, I see that you are also a real person, even if you are cheaper, they are all woven and dyed by yourself, I will charge you less than one penny, nine wen and one foot, three feet should be enough for your daughter-in-law to make a dress, twenty-seven wen, I will give you a little less, count twenty-six wen, what do you think? ”
The man was still hesitating, and the mother-in-law was already pouting, "Oh, I said big brother, where did you find such a bargain?" I've already given you a cheap price, I'll tell you, if you don't buy it, there won't be that store in this village! ”
"Oh, what are you hesitating about, so I'll give you an extra inch of weight, and buy it back Your daughter-in-law will definitely say that you will buy something!"
The mother-in-law was fast-mouthed, and the man was dizzy, and couldn't help but say, she had already measured the cloth, quickly cut a hole, and pulled it hard, only to hear "Ah! ”
A piece of flower cloth was torn off by her, folded it neatly, and stuffed it into the man's arms.
"Take it, Twenty-six Wen, you really took advantage of it! Dress up and come back next time! ”
The flower cloth was stuffed in his arms, and the man could only take it and take out the copper plate from his purse.
I just sold the dried mountain goods at home, and I went to more than half of it at once, and I had to buy oil and salt.
He smiled bitterly and counted out twenty-six yuan, which left a few copper plates can't buy much oil and salt, and I don't know if I will be scolded by my daughter-in-law when I go back!
The man who gave the money stuffed the flower cloth into his arms and walked away quickly.
The mother-in-law put the copper coin away, only to notice a little girl next to her, tilting her head to look at this side.
Her eyes lit up and she beckoned, "Girl, you also want to buy flower cloth, right?" Come and see that my flower cloth can be strong, and look, the color of the dye is also bright, if you like it, ask your adult to pull a few feet to make new clothes for you! ”
Shutong walked over and touched the flower cloth curiously, feeling a little rough and losing interest.
Only then did the woman see that she was actually wearing satin clothes, and she couldn't help but sigh secretly, her old eyes were dizzy, how could someone who could afford to wear satin clothes buy her flower cloth!
Going to shift the target and re-recruit guests, I listened to the crisp opening of the little girl next to me.
"Old woman, do you know how to get to Anseong?"
The mother-in-law was stunned and said strangely: "Girl, do you inquire about going to Ancheng?" ”
Shutong nodded.
The woman looked around, "Are you here alone?" Why don't you have a family with you? ”
Shu Tong smiled, "I'm just alone, do you know which way to go to Ancheng?" ”
The woman looked her up and down, quite a handsome girl, just ten years old.
Waiting for a girl in the countryside, ten years old is considered an adult, and it is normal to go out alone.
But seeing the little girl dressed like a child of a rich family, the mother-in-law couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Questioned: "Girl, what about your family, how can you rest assured that you will go out alone?" Is there really no one following? ”
Shu Tong smiled: "It's just me, mother-in-law, can you tell me how to go?" ”
The mother-in-law looked at it again, and there were all the countrymen with bitter faces around her, and she was moved.
The wrinkled face was full of smiles, "Do you want to go to Anseong?" That's easy to do, I'll live in Anseong, or you wait for me to sell these flower cloths, you take my car, and go with me! ”
