Luo Shi carried thirty or forty pounds of things on his back and walked to Tongzhou City on foot.

Today's sunny day is autumn, his face is red, he is still reluctant to wear new shoes, a pair of straw sandals are torn, and blood blisters are grinding on the exposed toes.

By the time they walked to the Nancheng bridge, it was almost noon.

Uncle Baked Cake was the first to see Luo Shi and greeted her with a smile:

"Girl, you're here, the spicy strips I bought yesterday made a few little dolls in my family eat clean for half a day, hahaha, they all boasted that they were delicious! I bought two catties back in the morning, but you're not kind, you only sell small fish today? ”

Luo Shi was confused, but she felt a little strange in her heart:

"I just came, uncle, where did you buy it?"

"Your mother is selling, she made a big jar, at first it cost 50 yuan a catty, I said she wanted money and wanted crazy, you only sold 20 yuan a pound yesterday"

The grass and mud horses galloped past in his heart, and Luo Shi knew who the person who came to steal the peppers yesterday was!

Aunt Osmanthus has her own fish pond, looking at the humble little fish boy can be made into snacks and sold for money, it is estimated that she has already tried it secretly, but unfortunately she can't make that flavor with dogwood, so it is expected that there is a secret recipe in the astringent place to take advantage of no one at home, drill the dog hole and rummage.

She must have taken the spicy seeds, and then colluded with the oxcart driver to put her along, and came to the city to sell it first!

She still claims to be her mother?

Is there such a brazen person in the world?

She felt very guilty about Uncle Baked Cakes, and gave him two catties of spicy strips, only saying: Uncle is her first business, so she naturally has to repay it well.

Hearing that she was still selling Huan on the bridge, he pulled his pocket and hurried to find her in two steps and one step at a time.

At the head of the bridge, Aunt Osmanthus is setting up a stall, and there is a group of people around, and it seems that many of them are repeat customers who bought in the astringent place yesterday, counting the copper coins and handing them to her palm.

She was smiling all over her face, squeezed into the wrinkles of her eyes, looking at the copper plate of the hole, laughing and scolding with others:

"You old man will be poor, buy more and go back, sell red today, sell white tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, I will come to sell meat!"

Everyone laughs, they are all rough people in the market, they like to joke about this meat joke, there are more people around, and there are naturally more people who buy it.

At this time, only a terrible cry was heard:

"Mother! Oh no—something's wrong! ”

Luo Shi took off the basket, carried a dead mouse in her hand, and ran to Aunt Osmanthus while screaming, terrified:

"Mother! I brought such a big mouse from the pickle jar at home, and it was full of rat, so don't sell it! If you make someone sick, we're going to have to eat a lawsuit! ”

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly followed her words and saw that the mouse was huge, with black hair and oil, mixed with blood-red chili oil, and it was extremely disgusting!

"Hey, such a big mouse, it's about to catch up with my cat, I don't know if this thing fell in the pickle jar, and I dare to sell it for money, and I conscience call the dog to eat it!" The woman next to her pinched her nose and turned her head.

"Death, dead girl, what are you talking about! Where did you get the pickled stuff, it's about to be thrown away! ”

Osmanthus was so frightened that her face turned pale, she had calculated that Luo Shi saw that the ox cart was gone, and she would definitely not come to the market again today, who would have thought that she would come on foot?

"Oh oh, good"

Luo Shi nodded in response, and let go of his hand with great disgust—the dead mouse fell perfectly into the jar of spicy vegetables in front of Osmanthus.

"Oh my God, how could there be such an appetizing thing!" "I won't buy it if I return it", "Return the money to me!" "It's disgusting, this woman......

Everyone asked Osmanthus to return the money, she refused at first, and then argued with others, but asked people to rob the money jar!

It's okay now, no matter if you have bought it or not, it is a rush to rob and rob the copper plate inside!

"You goddamn little prostitute, who is your mother, where are you a slut, get a dead rat to ruin my business, see if I don't kill you today, today"

Osmanthus was so angry that her head exploded, she looked around, picked up a flat pole, and hit Luo Shi on the head with her face covered.

When Uncle Baked Cake heard that this woman was not the little girl's mother, there must be a reason for singing this big play.

"Bah, why are you beating people!"

He went up and grabbed the flat burden, and his strength was greater, and he had no intention of pushing the osmanthus to the ground.

"Oh mom, this little prostitute hooked up with a concubine and beat people, she didn't learn well at a young age, she beat a woman with a big man, come and see, beat a woman"

Luo Xi listened to her scolding more and more ugly, seeing that Uncle Baked Cake had no intention of pushing her, but made her scold so blushing, he hid his fists around him and clenched them tightly, but there was no way to behave like a shrew like her.

She came out from behind Uncle Baked Cakes, jumped up, and looked at the crying and contrived face, and her ruthless hand was a big mouth!

There was a sound of "pop", Luo Shi was holding her arm and fanning it with her waist, if she didn't stun this woman, she would lose!

"Who stole my things? Who pulled the bullock cart I ordered? Who sells spicy dishes under my name? You still say it's my mother? My father and mother died a long time ago, why should you take advantage of this black-hearted and shameless woman? ”

Luo Shi's eyes were cold, and her thin body couldn't suppress her aura at the moment, she was neither fierce nor scolding the street, but this momentum made Osmanthus sit on the ground, still from the old man with swollen cheeks, and couldn't say a word of rebuttal.

At this time, everyone who watched the excitement understood that it was a bad woman in a village, and the red-eyed little girl made money, stole her things, and used her name to trap her. Seeing that the little girl was handsome, the eldest sister was in charge, and she was pulling her younger brother alone, most of her hearts felt pity and sympathy, and she was even more disgusted with the women on the ground.

"Come on, little girl, you can't sell that spicy strip yet, give me two catties first"

"That's it, such a black-hearted woman is waiting for the sky to accept her, I feel strange early in the morning, this spicy fish boy is not the same as yesterday at all, unpalatable and tight"

Uncle Baked Cake is the most enthusiastic, Luo Shi saw him with red eyes and waved his hand: "What do you say, I just feel sorry for this girl, whoever buys her spicy strips today, I will send two big baked cakes!" ”

Everyone applauded, and surrounded Luo Shi and urged her to quickly move the spicy vegetables out and sell them to them.

In less than half an hour, the three jars of spicy dishes with radish have bottomed out, and even the small fish that was not easy to sell have been sold.

Holding the money jar in his pocket, he didn't dare to let go for a moment, for fear that he would be robbed like Aunt Osmanthus.

Luo Shi probably counted, and made a total of three or four hundred dollars! With the remaining 100 articles from yesterday, there is half a tael of silver, to say the least.

After the two-day market, I had to wait for ten days and half a month to come, and at that time the Taiping cart was also ready, and the estimates I bought today were all eaten, and Luo Xi thought about coming back at that time.

Aunt Osmanthus left early, Luo Shi closed the stall, put the empty jar into the back basket, she felt very relaxed. Thinking that he would have to take his pocket to the clothing shop, he first took out a hard cake and gave it to him:

"Fill your stomach first, and when we finish the quilt, I'll take you to buy donkey meat buns."

"En"

After beating away the bad woman and selling out all the spicy dishes, Douzi was overjoyed and looked forward to rewarding him with donkey meat buns.

There is a clothing appraisal shop on Nantou Street, where second-hand used clothes are sold, most of them are collected by walking through the streets and alleys to receive goods by playing small drums, or the head of the pawnshop who has died after a long time.

You don't have to go into the shop, I saw that the guy set up a long stall at the door, the clothes were pressed one by one, stacked into a big pile, and each piece of clothing was written with a code, the minimum sale was how much, but it was the "pawn word" of the pawnshop, which was not recognized by ordinary people.

"Alas-this big leather jacket, the tube of the big beach sheep, thirty-nine as a spring, five hundred big sons one, if you want me to cut some more, you want you to open your mouth"

The guys sang and sold one after another, which was very attractive and colorful.

The leather jacket is astringent, she chose a half-new placket jacket for the pocket, and a patch on it, but the material is still soft and warm, and she is equipped with cotton pants, and a set of wool nests raised her hand to ask the guy for the price.

"It's for this little brother, right? I don't have to say, keep it warm, you are a visionary person, this is the most affordable, as long as you take the whole set of three hundred! When the man saw that the business was coming, he stopped his throat and concentrated on greeting Rashi.

"It's a little more expensive"

Luo Shi was not busy bargaining, or picking at the stall, and saw a new apricot-colored skirt with a cotton lining and satin, and a few dark apricot blossoms embroidered on the cuffs.

What kind of person is the guy, he hurriedly picked up the jacket and skirt and said to her: "If you like it, take it away, just look at the girl, I will definitely give you a real price, count the set above, half a tael of silver!" ”

Luo Xin knew that the skirt was indeed not expensive, but she only had half a tael of silver on her, although there was no shortage of materials at home, and the remaining soybeans and fish were enough to cope with the next business, but she also planned to carry a quilt back, how could she throw it on two clothes.

"Forget it, I only need the first set of padded jackets, can you sell it for one hundred and fifty yuan?" Luo Shi counted out the money and spread it out in front of him.

"Four hundred Wen two sets, no less!"

"No, I just-" Luo Shi was about to refuse, but someone next to him interjected: "Man, three hundred and fifty wen, let's take it, and I'll give you the remaining two hundred"

Luo Shi turned his head when he heard the sound and looked at it, it turned out to be Chang Geng of the grandmother's family - his facial features were tough, his thick eyebrows and big eyes were very decent, and he was only wearing a short single shirt that day, and the placket was open to reveal his strong copper-colored pectoral muscles. He was sweating on his forehead, as if he had just returned from work at the docks.

"Okay, okay, three hundred and fifty wen, take two sets!" The guy glanced at the code on his clothes, and almost sold it loosely.

"Brother Niu, how can this be done? You get the money back."

"It's okay, I think this jacket and skirt are weird and good-looking" He scratched his head with a smile, and when he saw that the guy collected the money and went back to pay the account, he lowered his voice and said: "I can recognize the word above, the code is three hundred and twenty Wen, and it is a pity to be able to bargain like this, don't blame it."

Luo Shi smiled, shook his head and said, "Then you shouldn't pay this money for me, I heard grandma say that you work hard, how can you spend two hundred Wen like this?" ”

"It's okay, just when I borrow you, I heard grandma say that you have the ability to make money, I'm afraid that you will rely on me, hurry, take it" He smiled while stepping across the threshold to enter, and took out another twenty dollars to the shopkeeper, only said:

"This is embroidery money for my grandmother"

The shopkeeper nodded one by one, shook his head and said: "You are a filial grandson, and when it comes to your grandmother's embroidery, you are the same as Wuwen, and every time you secretly supplement her like this."

"Coax her to be happy, when she saves enough money to marry my daughter-in-law, it's not cheap for me."

"Haha, you kid will settle accounts"

Coming out of the clothing shop, Niu Changgeng didn't forget to say hello to Luo Shi: "Don't tell my grandma about this, I've been hiding it from her for a long time, haha"

Luo Shi also laughed: "I won't stop you from being a filial grandson"

After sending Chang Geng away, Luo Shi stuffed his clothes into the back basket, pulled his pocket and prepared to go back, because there was no ox cart to pick him up, and it took a lot of effort to walk back all the way.

"Sister, look at that person, is it the person we saw at the tea stall last time?"

The pocket tugged at Losh's sleeve and nodded at the people who were running all the way here—

Luo Shi looked up along the words of the pocket, was it the little guy next to the noble son that day?

"The girl is not good, our son-in-law has diarrhea after eating spicy dishes, you can go and take a look!" The people shouted and ran.

However, before anyone could run to her, the back of her neck had been hit with a wooden stick, and her eyes instantly turned black, and she knew nothing......
