Chapter Twenty-Three: Selling Vegetables

Xiao Man smiled innocently, and looked at the shopkeeper Li's calculations, "Little girl, your accounting is actually faster than my abacus." ”

"Shopkeeper, do you still want game? And this fungus, mushrooms, and bamboo shoots are all very fresh, and they are all picked from the mountains, or you can take a look. ”

Shopkeeper Li heard that there were still these things, and quickly nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take a look first." ”

Xiao Man motioned to shopkeeper Li to step forward, and looked at the things in the frame, shopkeeper Li's eyes lit up: "This thing is rare, I usually want to buy it, but there is no place to buy it." ”

"Little girl, I want all these three baskets of things, you hurry up and weigh them for me, and I'll take them back to the kitchen to deal with them."

Seeing that the big business was coming, Gu Dashan was unusually diligent, "Good class, wait a minute." ”

Gu Shi and Gu Dashan weighed it, and Xiaoman settled the account, "A total of four hundred and sixty-eight yuan, and the fraction of the shopkeeper will be wiped with you, and I am sending you some fruit." Saying that, Xiao Man grabbed a strawberry in the basket behind him and gave it to Shopkeeper Li.

As soon as he heard that he was still sending some fruit when he didn't want it, Shopkeeper Li's eyes narrowed into a slit, "Little girl, my scale will be lent to you, I see that your car will be sold out soon, and you will return it to me when you run out." ”

Gu Shi thanked him again and again when he heard it.

The competition in the restaurant here is still very fierce, and the people around see that the shopkeeper of the drunken incense building has bought so much, for fear that they will not be able to buy it.

In a hurry, I want this and that, and the most ferocious ones are carp and pheasants, which are rare, in this town, there are still relatively few mountains, and most of the people here make a living from farming, and there are few hunters.

After a period of scramble, things were snapped up, and some people in Shenzhen took a fancy to Xiaoman's basket of things, and wanted to buy them with their things.

Xiaoman politely refused, these baskets were all compiled by the Gu family, these baskets can't be sold anyway, not to mention that they can't be sold for a few dollars in this case, and now that they are sold, maybe they will turn around and buy them, and they will be decorated at home

Everything has to be used.

However, Xiaoman saw a glimmer of business opportunities, and had a not very mature idea in his mind, so he secretly wrote it down and pondered it carefully after going back.

The things pulled on the car were basically sold out, and the strawberries were given to the people around him to taste at first, because people had never seen or eaten this thing, so they wouldn't buy it easily, but Xiaoman believed that people who had eaten it would come to find it.

"Little girl, the red fruit you gave me to eat just now is not sold, my kid eats it and wants to eat it."

The one who spoke was a tall and thin man, in a gray robe, who looked very kind, carrying a basket Xiao Man remembered this person, just now this uncle asked the shopkeeper Li to bring the scale.

Xiao Man smiled sweetly: "Uncle, since your family likes to eat, I won't keep these, you see how much you want, you just bought a lot of things, I'll give you a cheaper."

When I heard Xiaoman say this, the thin and tall man couldn't hide the happiness on his face, he didn't have any hope, but the youngest son at home made a lot of noise, "You can give me a 5 pound." ”

"Good uncle, I'll pick you some good ones." said that this Xiaoman bent down to pick out some large ripe strawberries in the basket, put them on the broken sack, and felt that it was almost enough to hand them to Gu Dashan to weigh.

"Five pounds and three taels." Gu Dashan handed the basket to Xiao Man.

"Uncle, I won't count your money for the extra three taels, just count it as five catties, three cents for one catty, and I will charge you fifteen cents."

"The little girl is really good at business, and those who can talk and listen are comfortable." After paying the money and putting it in the basket, the man left.

One after another, many people came back to buy strawberries, but Xiaoman didn't sell them out and left them for a while.

Gu Dashan and Gu were packing up the baskets and broken sacks on the car, Xiaoman jumped out of the car, put the remaining strawberries in the weighing pan, carefully carried them, and walked towards Zuixianglou.

After walking a few steps, she heard Gu calling her, Xiao Man turned his head and said, "Mother, I'll go and return the scales to others, and I'll be back soon, you guys will wait a little after you finish cleaning up." ”

"Okay, you go and get back quickly."

After Gu Dashan and his wife cleaned up, they sat in the car and waited, and they didn't see Xiaoman come out after the first and second classes, so Gu was a little anxious, walking back and forth in front of the carriage, looking in the direction of Zuixianglou from time to time, while Gu Dashan sat in the car, and the thief grinned,

I counted the copper coins over and over again, and there were almost two taels of silver, and they all put them in my pocket.

"What's going on with Xiaoman, I haven't come back yet, you go and see, I'll go over there for something, I'll come back to you later." After saying that, I drove away in the car.

Gu Dashan's words Gu never dared to refute, seeing Gu Dashan driving the ox cart away, Gu sighed, stood in place for a while and watched Gu Dashan drive the ox cart into an alley, and then turned around and went to Zuixiang Building to find Xiao Man.

Gu Shi walked to the door of the Zuixiang Lou store and stopped, the door was not all opened, only looked at one, looking at the luxurious decoration and smooth ground in the restaurant, Gu Shi looked at his feet of mud, his hands were dirty, Gu shrank his feet and did not dare to go in, standing at the door

The mouth looked inside, but he didn't see Xiaoman's shadow.

The shopkeeper who was wiping the table inside saw Gu Shi and greeted him warmly, "Eldest sister, are you here to eat?" We're not there yet. ”

As if frightened, Gu quickly retracted and said in a panic, "No, no, I'm not here to eat." ”

After touching it for a while, Gu leaned out again and asked softly, "Little brother, let me ask you, have you seen a little girl come to return your scales." ”

"Oh, you're here to find Xiaoman." Xiao'er stopped what he was doing and looked at Gu happily.

"Yes, yes, I just came to find Xiaoman, I'm Xiaoman's mother, she has been here, why didn't I see her." Gu Shi said and looked around for Xiaoman.

The little second brother came to the door and saw Gu's discomfort and restraint, "Sister Gu, come in, it's okay, our shopkeeper took Xiaoman girl to the back kitchen, you come in first and sit down for a while, just drink a cup of tea and rest." ”

Gu Shi hurriedly waved his hand, "No need, no need, I'll just wait for her here." ”

The shopkeeper saw that Gu was really reluctant to enter the store, and he was not reluctant, "That's okay, Sister Gu is with you, I'll go in and help you talk to Miss Xiaoman, and tell her that you came to her." ”

"Thank you, thank you, little brother." Gu sat down on the steps next to him.

The little second brother turned around and went in, looked at Gu's thin figure, thought about it, took a bowl and picked up the teapot, and went outside the door again, "Sister Gu, you have sold the dishes all morning, and you have been drinking for a long time, drink some tea to moisten your throat." Saying that, the shopkeeper fell

A bowl of tea was handed to Gu,
