Chapter 42: Selling Fruit

Zhang Ergou was silent, it was difficult for this child to be so willing to spend for his younger brothers and sisters, and after waiting for a while, he persuaded with kind words: "Uncle knows that you are still young and need to replenish your body, but you have to think about it in the long run, you have to think about it for a while, you have to think about it for a while."

"Look, if we eat one pound of fine grain, we can exchange it for three pounds of coarse grain, and the five of you can eat for several days, right?"

Yuan Ning hurriedly nodded, with a grateful face: "Thank you Uncle for teaching ......"

Zhang Ergou sighed, "Alas, a baby without a father and a mother, pitiful!" ”

The two people in the same car hurriedly took out dry food from their bodies and stuffed them with two pieces of bread, "Take this and keep it for lunch." ”

Yuan Ning and Bo Zhong both refused.

The two forcibly stuffed it, and sighed: "This kid is really sensible and distressing!" ”

Yuan Ning quietly diverted the topic, she didn't like to hear people talk about her private affairs, even though they were well-intentioned.

Now their life is a little harder, but in the near future, the clouds will definitely be cleared!

Talking and laughing along the way, the atmosphere was very good. After arriving at the county seat, the two people got out of the car at the city gate and went to do their own errands, and Zhang Ergou sent the sister and brother and the five baskets of fruits to the place where they set up their stalls.

Their stalls are still kept by the vendors.

Seeing them coming, they were very enthusiastic to come over to help, and moved the baskets from the car and stacked them neatly.

Zhang Ergou greeted the sisters and brothers, and said good things to the stall owners, asking them to take more care of the young lady and brothers, and then went to do their own thing.

As soon as it opened, someone came with a donkey cart and brought five baskets of fruit, saying that they were entrusted by someone.

Yuan Ning smiled and asked someone to help set up the basket, thanked him, and wanted to pack some fruit for others as a thank you gift, but the other party waved his hand and hurriedly left.

Aunt Lin leaned over and asked, "What's going on!" ”

"Our sister and brother are lucky," Yuan Ning explained with a smile, "I met a good person!" Some people saw that it was not easy for our sister and brother, and they couldn't deliver too much fruit to pick up, so they helped.

"You see, although we are from the same village as Uncle Ergou, Uncle Ergou makes money by pulling people, and we put so many fruits on it, and there is no place to be a person in the car.

"We have to be sensible, don't we? So I send up to five baskets at a time. But at this time, most of the fruits are ripe, and if they are not picked and sold early, they will rot. Then our sister and brother must not cry to death?

"It's rare for someone to help, so we have to take this kindness." She turned the bell with her elbow, "You can remember, if you have a future in the future, you must repay your benefactor well!" ”

Bo Zhong nodded honestly in agreement.

Aunt Lin nodded slightly and sighed, "You children are indeed worthy of distress. ”

Yuanning's business was as good as ever, and half of it had been sold out before noon.

Fang Yan was not in the yamen in the morning, he was sent out to do things, and when he came back, he happened to pass by here, and saw that Yuan Ning was out of the stall again, so he went over to ask, and asked with a smile: "I'm also a repeat customer, should I be cheaper?" ”

"That's not possible," Yuan Ning immediately refused, "We have a small profit, and we really can't afford it." However, little brother, if you buy it again this time, I can give you a pear! I promise to pick a big one! ”

Fang Yan laughed, "Aren't you still cheapening me?" ”

"No, no," Yuan Ning waved his hand, and said seriously, "Buying and selling is buying and selling, and the price of goods cannot be adjusted casually." Otherwise, what if the customers who bought it before said that I was cheating customers? This kind of thing must not begin.

"But, in the end, the big thing is human affection. Send more and send less, send or not, others can't say anything about me. ”

Fang Yan smiled again, "You little girl is quite interesting, then let's do it, this time give me ten catties of ordinary pears, the kind with auspicious meanings, give me ten more." ”

Yuan Ning weighed him as much as he could, and then according to what he said in advance, he really gave him a big pear, and said to him with a smile: "Little brother will buy it next time, and I will give it to you!" ”

Fang Yan smiled, "I'll send it in first, if our master says it's not enough to eat, I'll buy it again." ”

More than a dozen catties of pears are heavy enough, Fang Yan carried it into the back door, beckoned a servant to come over to help, and sent it to the inner house.

Su Heting is not working today, and he is not in the yamen.

Fang Yan washed a few pears, cut them according to the appearance of last time, and prepared them. I took two in the kitchen, asked the cook to stew a little rock sugar pear, and I took a pear without peeling it, so I gnawed it directly, and when I bit it, the pear juice immediately flowed down.

He nodded while eating, this little girl's pears are really delicious.

At lunch, Yuan Ning asked Bo Zhong to buy two bowls of tea soup, and the two of them soaked and ate the two cakes given by the villagers.

Aunt Lin handed over the stall to others to take care of at noon, went home for a meal, and when she came back, she carried a basket on her arm, and the basket contained two bowls of vegetables, which were specially brought for the Yuanning sisters and brothers.

Sister and brother Yuanning couldn't refuse, so they had to take it and eat, and while eating, they felt warm in their hearts.

Especially Bo Zhong, his eyes are red.

Aunt Lin's eyes were loving, "You kid, you are about the same age as my eldest grandson, when I saw you, I thought of him, if it was my own child, how could I be willing to let them come out to beg for a living at such a young age!" ”

Yuan Ning smiled reluctantly, "Auntie, otherwise, let my younger brother recognize you as a godmother, right?" ”

Aunt Lin waved her hand, "That's it, I said it, he is about the same age as my eldest grandson!" My granddaughter is a year younger than you, you call me godmother, aren't you taking advantage? ”

Yuan Ning's face flushed, this old lady still has an old man, she forgot?

Bo Zhong came up smartly, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Aunt Lin, a "grandma".

Aunt Lin stretched out her hand to pull him up, and looked at Yuan Ning expectantly.

Yuan Ning was helpless, so he also knelt down and kowtowed.

Aunt Lin smiled, holding one in one hand, looking left and right very happy, and after a while, she took out a pair of silver earrings from her arms and put them on for Yuan Ning with her own hands.

In this era, all girls began to wear ear piercings from a very young age, those who had conditions wore earrings, and those who did not have conditions inserted a pepper stalk in the ear hole.

There are also those little girls who love beauty, as soon as spring comes, they use needles to thread all kinds of wildflowers, and they use needles and threads to thread through them, which is also beautiful.

Yuan Ning naturally refused, and Aunt Lin smiled: "You see that I came out to set up a stall to sell things, and I think my grandmother is short of money, right?" Actually, no, grandma's children are very promising, and the family doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, I think it's boring to sit down and eat and wait for death, so I came out to see the world. ”
