Chapter 200: Selling

The purple grapes are sprinkled with some water droplets, which looks particularly 'attractive'. Lu Mengjian turned his head to look at the grapes in the basket, and he felt that his tongue was full of water, and he couldn't help but stop.

"Sweet and fragrant grapes, girl, how much do you want?" The old man immediately came to Lu Mengjian's side, picked up a bunch of grapes and stuffed it into her hand, "Girl, you taste it, it's not sweet and you don't want money!" ”

Lu Mengjian smiled and shook his head, "Uncle, how can you sell these grapes?" ”

"What do you want to buy?" The old man smiled honestly and pointed to a bamboo tube hanging around his waist, "If you sell it, shake it once for twenty yuan, shake it three times in a row, if the number on the three sticks adds up to more than fifteen, the old man will give the girl a pound of grapes, if it is less than fifteen, then the girl will not be able to buy grapes." ”

"This method of selling is fresh, what if you buy it directly with silver?" The first time Lu Mengjian heard that there was such a gambling-like method to buy fruits, it was very novel.

If you buy it directly, the old man will sell it to the girl at the market price, half a pound. The price is fair, Tong Su is not bullied, girl, you can rest assured! The old man's dark face was full of the reality of the villagers, Lu Mengjian thought about it carefully, so he bent down and picked out a few bunches of grapes and put them on the old man's scale.

"The grapes are sold, twenty dollars are shaken once, and twenty dollars can get a pound of grapes! Don't miss it! The old man weighed and shouted loudly, and soon passers-by surrounded him.

"Yo, girl, these are three catties, and they cost one or two halves of silver, why don't you try to shake them once, maybe you can bring home so many grapes with only sixty wen!" The old man's voice was full of anger, and the people next to him listened to Yueyue's 'desire' test, and they all helped persuade Lu Mengjian.

"That's right, girl, why don't you try to pounce, maybe you can take away all these grapes for a few dozen dollars!" Lu Mengjian took out his purse and was about to pay, he didn't think about getting these fruits by selling them at all, although taking these grapes with a very small amount of money is very attractive, but the game is unpredictable after all, if you are unlucky, I am afraid that you will put all the money into it, and you may not be able to get a pound of fruit, and in gambling, it is inevitable that some people will not be able to get a thousand people, how many people are bankrupt because of this, and the change of the little monk family of Huitong is the best lesson.

"Come on, I'll give it a try, old man, you can take twenty Wen, if I shake it in a while, you are not allowed to cheat!" A middle-aged man with a scruffy beard took out a handful of black coins from his arms and counted them several times before reluctantly stuffing the money into the old man's hand.

"You can rest assured, I do business, and the price has always been fair, and Tong Su is not bullied." The old man 'handed over' the bamboo tube to the middle-aged man, opened the lid of the bucket and took out all the bamboo sticks inside and spread them out in his hand, "You have a good look, from one to nine, it's all here, and I'll put it in if you see it." ”

Although twenty yuan is not a lot of money, but for many ordinary families, it is still a lot of money, although the middle-aged man said that he gave the money to the old man, but he still has some regrets in his heart, but when he saw the child next to him who was looking at the grapes, he still gritted his teeth and decided to fight.

"Whoa!" The bamboo skewers were shaken very loudly in the bucket, and after a while, three bamboo skewers fell out of the opening.

"One two," the old man picked up the bamboo stick, and reported the number in a loud voice, "One eight!" ”

When the middle-aged man heard this number, his hands trembled a little, and he secretly prayed that the last one was bigger than five, but the sky did not follow people's wishes, and when he heard the old man report the number three, the middle-aged man instantly returned to his son like a frosted eggplant.

"Uncle, here you are," Lu Mengjian saw the excitement and 'handed over' the silver taels to the old man. The old man rushed to sell today, never thought that someone would really pay silver to buy grapes, in order to sell grapes, he raised the price much higher than the market price, just wanted to make some silver by selling for nothing, all at once he got so much, he 'excited' hands are a little trembling.

"Girl, take your grapes." The old man wrapped the grapes in oiled paper, and his eyes narrowed into a slit with joy.

Lu Mengjian turned around, wanting to bring the grapes back to the 'Jing' and 'Lu' Xuan to treat You Ziqi, but as soon as he took a step, he heard the voice of the middle-aged man next to him.

"Huzi, Dad is useless, I didn't win grapes for you, and when Dad makes money in the future, he must buy a lot of grapes for Huzi!" The middle-aged man glanced at the grapes regretfully, took his son's hand and prepared to leave.

But the son was obviously a little unhappy, pouting and reluctant to turn around.

"Let's go, Dad will buy it for you in the future!" The middle-aged man pulled his son's hand hard, seeing that the tears in the child's eyes were about to fall, the man was so angry that he pulled his son, "What are you crying about, it's useless!" Come home with me! ”

Lu Mengjian couldn't bear to hear it, presumably this man took a risk, but also so that his son could taste this grape, but unfortunately, nine out of ten bets were lost, which was an adventure game in itself.

"This uncle, please stay," Lu Mengjian took out a small bunch of grapes and walked in front of the child.

"Girl, you are ......"

Lu Mengjian smiled, took out another twenty coins from his pocket, held grapes in one hand and copper coins in the other, and looked at the child in front of him with a smile, "You are a tiger, right?" ”

Huzi nodded, the tears in his eyes were still shining.

"Huzi, now I have a bunch of grapes in my hand, or twenty yuan, you can choose one of the two, you can choose to use twenty yuan and then shake the lot from this grandfather's hand, maybe you will win a pound of grapes, or choose to take the grapes in my hand directly. Good boy, think hard before you make a choice. ”

The middle-aged man wanted to speak again, but was stopped by Lu Mengjian shaking his head.

"I, I want grapes." Huzi hesitated again and again, his eyes looked from the grapes to the copper coin, and then moved from the copper coin to the grapes, and finally took the grapes in Lu Mengjian's hand.

Lu Mengjian nodded approvingly and asked, "Why don't you choose this twenty yuan?" You know, with these twenty wen, it is possible to exchange a pound of grapes from grandpa. ”

"But I might not get anything." Huzi replied clearly and crisply.

"You're right, Huzi, you have to remember that in the future you may encounter a lot of 'temptation' and 'confusion' like today, maybe you can win a pound of grapes with only 20 yuan, but if you don't win the bet, not only will you lose the 20 yuan, but you won't even get the grape skin. Only by relying on your own hands is really yours, Huzi, in the face of all kinds of "temptation" and "confusion" in the future, you must remember that choice is more important than luck! Okay, take the grapes and go home with your father, don't forget to let your mother taste them too, remember to share good things with others, remember? Looking at Huzi's immature face, Lu Mengjian didn't dare to imagine what life would make him look like in the future, but she still wanted him to understand how terrible this bottomless 'hole's 'temptation' and 'confusion' were, all she could do was these few small reminders.

"Huzi, return the grapes to my sister, my father will definitely buy them for you when he has money in the future, today is not good for my father, I was confused for a while, and my father will never gamble again in the future." The middle-aged man put the grapes back in Lu Mengjian's hand, the guilt on his face became deeper and deeper, what Lu Mengjian said to his son was more like saying it to him, he thought that he would be lucky to win that pound of grapes for Huzi, but because of this, he took the copper coins that were already scarce......

"Uncle, you just take it, Huzi is small, it will be my meeting gift to him, as long as he behaves well in the future, he is better than anything else!" Lu Mengjian stuffed the grapes back into Huzi's hand.

The middle-aged man's face was flushed, and he pushed Huzi and said, "Thank you, sister!" ”

"Thank you, sister," Huzi bent down seriously, looked up at Lu Mengjian and said, "Sister, if I have delicious food in the future, I will definitely give it to my sister to eat!" ”

Lu Mengjian grinned, this kid is obviously more sensible and interesting than he imagined.

At the time of this meeting, there were obviously a lot more people coming around after hearing that there was a puff sale, and some people were eager to try, but when they heard Lu Mengjian's words, they were a little hesitant. The old man looked at Lu Mengjian with a dark face, because of Lu Mengjian's relationship, there were few people who came to sell it until now, which made him very unhappy.

"Girl, go quickly!" The old man walked up to Lu Mengjian and whispered, and at the same time handed over a small bunch of grapes, "This bunch of grapes is for you, you can go quickly." ”

"Hey, uncle, I'm sorry, I'll leave immediately, you can keep this grape for yourself, you're busy, I'm leaving," Lu Mengjian grabbed the grape wrapped in oil paper, smiled apologetically at the old man, and walked back.

As soon as she walked out of the human wall, suddenly there was a 'commotion' in the crowd, and a bright big knife swung in the direction where Lu Mengjian was, and many people were busy watching the excitement, and they didn't realize the danger at all.

"Run, be careful!" Lu Mengjian pushed the person next to him hard, and the crowd that had already reacted scattered like birds and beasts, Lu Mengjian scattered his 'legs' to dodge to the side of the road, but the person wielding the big knife seemed to deliberately chase Lu Mengjian, seeing that the big knife was about to cut Lu Mengjian's back.

Lu Mengjian was so frightened that her brain was confused, her mind was blank, she just ran forward desperately, trying to get rid of the pursuit of the people behind her, but her speed and physical strength were obviously much weaker than those of the person holding the knife, even with the power that burst out of fear, she could still feel the big knife behind her approaching.

"Boom!" The sound of metal colliding made a sharp and piercing sound, and Lu Mengjian was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and the girl ran faster.

There was the sound of ping-pong swords behind him, and the people on the street scattered and fled, and the 'door' of the shop on the street was also closed and bolted by the frightened guys with a full face, for fear that the sword would ruthlessly hurt themselves.

Lu Mengjian ran desperately, but not far away, a big knife had already appeared in front of him, so Lu Mengjian seemed to have entered a dead end, and there was no way to live.

"Ah......" After Lu Mengjian exclaimed, the whole person had been pulled into a small shop.

"Shhhh
