Chapter 55: Selling Sheep
Some sellers who bought and sold livestock didn't care when they saw the appearance of their mother and son, but just thought they were coming to see the excitement.
After all, this animal is in every household, and that is an important thing.
Under normal circumstances, if you want to buy these livestock and the like, it is natural for the men in the family to come and take a look, and of course, there are also those who entrust others to come and buy them. Of course, people who generally come are very familiar with livestock, and they will look at and pick!
Su Wanniang looked like she was looking at the flowers, it was like shopping, naturally no one thought she would buy it.
Although this is so, Su Wanniang is also happy.
Seeing that some of the livestock buyers were entangled by those sellers, she was still happy to be clean.
Xu Junhao saw that everything was interesting, and he didn't dislike those tastes, but pointed to some animals and discussed them with Su Wanniang.
"Mother, that cow is so big!"
"Wow, mother, the horses are grazing!"
"Mother, the little piglet is so fat!"
"Ah, is this a lamb?"
......
The little guy thinks it is good when he sees anything, and he says whatever he sees, and his mouth never stops.
Compared with Xu Junhao, who has been silent before, Su Wanniang thinks that this is what a little family looks like! The previous Xu Junhao was taught by Xu Jiakuai to be a little old man.
After wandering around for a while, Su Wanniang finally came to a place where sheep were sold.
The sheep seller was a farmer in his fifties, and he had many sheep, and all of them were sturdy. From the very beginning, several families chose to come to him to see the sheep. However, because of his high asking price, everyone chose to give up.
Su Wanniang came to the grass shed in the livestock market, pointed to the sheep in the shed and asked, "Uncle, how do you sell this sheep?" How many one? ”
The straight words made the farmer who was squatting on the ground stand up immediately.
He originally thought that the little lady in front of him was just looking at it, but he didn't expect that he would ask the price.
The farmer stood up, clapped his hands, looked at the fat sheep behind him, and said, "Which one does Madame want?" My sheep here are all growing well! "The implication is that the price is not cheap.
Su Wanniang nodded, pointed to the innermost one and said, "Just the ewe in it, how much?" ”
As Su Wanniang pointed in the direction of her finger, the farmer saw the ewe, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Madame wants that head!" The other one is already pregnant with a cub, and the price is not cheap! ”
As he spoke, the man stretched out two fingers.
"Two taels, no two prices!"
After saying that, the farmer sat back down as if he was not worried about the sale.
Su Wanniang was not angry because of his disdainful attitude, but carefully stared at the ewe and knocked. Finally, he said to the farmer, "Then I'll look at something else." ”
Hearing Su Wanniang's words, the man had disdain in his eyes, and he almost said that she was poor and sour.
Su Wanniang looked left and right, and this person's sheep was the best.
However, he is not the only one who has a ewe.
Su Wanniang found that in the corner of the grass shed where the sheep were sold, there was also a person selling sheep, and she was indeed selling ewes. The ewe was a little thin, and it didn't look like it had much meat. However, there was a little lamb beside the ewe, and she bleated against the ewe all the time.
Seeing this, Su Wanniang's eyes lit up, and she led Xu Junhao over.
"Auntie, do you sell this sheep?" As Su Wanniang spoke, she carefully looked at the ewe.
And because of their approach, the ewe and her lamb seemed to be a little frightened, and the ewe did not dare to walk on the ground, while the lamb kept bleating.
The lady who sold the sheep couldn't react, and after seeing that Su Wanniang didn't leave for a long time, she knew that she was choosing a sheep.
"Madame, do you want it?"
The eldest lady rubbed her dry and cracked palms and stood up, her thin and thin body made Su Wanniang feel a little uncomfortable.
In other words, she has never seen such a thin person in the days she has been here.
"Auntie, how do you sell this ewe?"
Su Wanniang rubbed Xu Junhao's hair, the child was anxious to see the animal, so she had to let him.
The lady who sold the sheep was a little afraid to speak, and her thirsty lips were peeling, but she trembled and whispered: "One ...... One or two ......"
After saying this, the eldest mother immediately closed her mouth.
She understood that her ewe was very thin and not worth much.
However, thinking of the situation at home, how can she speak freely.
When Su Wanniang heard a tael of silver, she thought she had misheard: "What? How much did the aunt say? "Is it a tael? You can't be mistaken! After all, the man just now asked for two taels of silver.
She asked, so that the eldest lady, who was already a little worried, immediately waved her hand and said, "Don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand, madam...... I'm ...... too."
Seeing that the eldest lady hurriedly seemed to explain something, Su Wanniang hurriedly said, "Did the eldest lady really say one or two?" ”
If it's one or two, you can buy it back.
When the eldest lady heard Su Wanniang's question, she saw that she didn't turn around and left, so she put her mind at ease: "Yes, it's one or two!" ”
Su Wanniang nodded: "Then help me bring it back!" In addition, I have to bother my aunt to teach me how to milk goats. ”
As she spoke, Su Wanniang had already taken out a tael of broken silver from her sleeve and handed it over.
The eldest lady looked at the broken silver in front of her, her eyes suddenly turned red, and her hands trembled at Su Wanniang: "Thank you, madam, thank you, madam......"
Seeing that the eldest lady was holding on to herself, Su Wanniang hurriedly held on: "What's so thankful for this, buying and selling with one hand and one hand delivering the goods." Then bother the aunt to help me bring it back! I also have to ask my aunt how to milk goats. ”
'Baa Baa ......'
Listening to the cry of the little lamb, the lady opposite turned her head and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then added: "If the lady wants to buy it, buy it with the little lamb!" ”
The appearance of the request really scared Su Wanniang.
"Auntie, it's useless to buy this little lamb back, I just want the ewe to milk the goat to make up for the child's body." Su Wanniang said her intentions, her brows furrowed slightly.
When the eldest lady heard this, she looked at the little lamb anxiously.
This young sheep has been following the ewe, and now if the ewe leaves, it will not survive.
"Madame will give two coins at will, and this little lamb will also be taken away by Madame! In fact, my lambs here have never left the ewes, and sometimes they are separated for half a day, and they don't eat or drink......"
Looking at the appearance of the eldest lady and listening to her explanation, Su Wanniang shook for a moment: "Auntie, let's talk about it, how many lambs are there?" I totaled the total. ”
Seeing that Su Wanniang said that there was hope, the eldest lady didn't dare to shout a high price, and whispered: "Madame, give 100 Wen!" ”
Selling the only livestock in the family is naturally uncomfortable, but if it is not sold, there will be no money available at home.
As soon as Su Wanniang heard a hundred texts, it was simply too cheap, and she nodded without thinking.
"Then the lady will come with me with them!"
Su Wanniang turned around and walked out, and saw that the big man who sold sheep before was looking at them, and shook his head at Su Wanniang with pity.
In his opinion, the emaciated ewes bought cheaply cannot survive at first glance.
Su Wanniang didn't care about him, but went out immediately with the child.
She couldn't stand the smell of it anymore.
