This time, the two brothers also brought the remittance slip and their bedding, as well as the clothes that the two sisters and brothers are wearing now.

After the National Day, you must cover the quilt at night in the countryside, otherwise it will be a little cold to sleep.

Xiaoru also brought hundreds of sugar gourds made early in the morning, and the four brothers and sisters took a car to the provincial capital.

On the way, Xiaoru asked the little brothers how they went to Lin's house to find the remittance slip, and no one obstructed it.

Xiao Chu said with contempt on his face: "The Lin family doesn't even have an adult, who can stop my two brothers!" Xiaohong Xiaoyan wanted to stop her, but was pushed aside by the two of us. ”

Xiaoru asked curiously: "Juxiang and they all went to the police station, who is cooking for the five Xiaohong sisters and brothers now?" ”

Although Lin Hong's sister and brother are rural children, they have been studying all the time and rarely do farm work and housework, so no one should know how to cook.

It's not that Mr. Lin and his family don't love their grandchildren, they just don't love their sisters and brothers.

She wanted to know if she was up to Lin Hong now that she didn't have to rely on her.

Xiao Chu pursed his lips: "It's not difficult to cook, you can learn it twice, now Xiaohong Xiaoyan can cook food at home, when my eldest brother and I go back to Lin's house, they all know to feed chicken soup to drink, you are still afraid that people will starve to death." ”

Xiaoru was dumbfounded, now almost all the elders of the Lin family have gone to prison, and none of the Lin Hong sisters and brothers are worried about the safety of Lin Laohan and others, so they actually hide at home and eat well!

The little ones didn't speak, this was their first time in the provincial capital, and they were excited and a little timid about the unfamiliar environment, and they all stared out the window.

The scenery moved backwards, from the open field into the dense area of the house, the car drove into the bustling city center, and the brothers stared at this strange and desirable city with round eyes in amazement.

The provincial city is the terminal, the car arrives, and all the passengers get off the bus.

The two little brothers carried the crab on their backs and held the sugar gourd, Xiao Ru held Xiao Jian in his arms, the four brothers and sisters went out of the station, and Xiao Ru asked pedestrians where there was a large vegetable market nearby.

At that time, the people in the city were not as indifferent as Xiaoru in later generations, and the first person ignored Xiaoru when he asked, but the second person showed them the way, although he was not enthusiastic, but the point was quite detailed.

Xiaoru took his brother and brother to walk to the vegetable market pointed out by others, and there were two roads in the middle.

To tell the truth, although Wuhan is a megacity, there were not many vehicles in those days, only occasionally buses, big trucks or taxis drove by, so the little brothers were too scared to cross the road.

Fortunately, in that era, the metropolis had traffic lights, such as taking them across the road, by the way, telling them that the red light stopped and the green light left, and also deliberately told them to pay attention to whether there were illegal vehicles even when the green light went away, not everyone obeyed the traffic laws.

The two little brothers all listened attentively with solemn faces.

When she arrived at the vegetable market, Cui'er divided the crabs, about half a catty in one basket, and more than six taels in another basket, and the selling price was different, about half a catty for one dollar, and more than six taels were all five for one piece.

The two little brothers were all stunned when they heard Xiao Ru quote the price to them, and after a while, Xiao Yi hesitated and said, "Xiao Ru, if you set the price so high, will anyone buy it?" ”

Xiaoru glanced at the vegetable market that was crowded because of holiday consumption, and said with confidence: "The provincial city is so big, there are always some rich people, and we don't have many crabs, so we will definitely be able to sell them." ”

The two little brothers scolded in their hearts at the same time: Not much? These two baskets of crabs add up to more than 100 catties!

The sugar gourd Xiaoru also re-set the price, a string of three cents, two strings of five cents, since it is selling sugar gourds in the provincial capital, the selling price must be higher than in the county!

The sugar gourd was bright, and it soon attracted the attention of the children who followed the adults to buy vegetables, and they simply pulled the adults over to buy them.

People in the city are not as simple as people in the countryside, and if the people in the countryside are too expensive, even if they make a counteroffer, they are also pleasant, and generally speaking, the buyer and the seller will not quarrel because of the counteroffer.

But the people in the city are different, they always think that the small vendors from the countryside are a grade lower than them, and even the counter-offer has a high-minded tone, as if they are Cixi, how great it is!

When those aunts and aunts heard Xiaoru quote the price of a sugar gourd for three cents, they all shouted excitedly, and their words were mean and ugly: "Do you say that you wild children in the countryside are poor and crazy, such a sugar gourd actually costs three cents, which is worth two catties of rice, and we will buy it if it is honestly cheap, otherwise we won't buy it!" ”

"Such a high price to rob with a knife! It is said that rural people are simple and kind, kind and kind, and completely slaughter us city people as sheep! ”

Xiaoru was angry when she listened to the words of these aunts in the city, but she couldn't be mad yet.

These aunts and aunts are all her potential customers, and they scold people away in a frenzy, so isn't it impossible to get along with money?

So he smiled and said: "To make a sugar gourd, you have to use a lot of white sugar, what is the price of white sugar, I think all aunts and aunts know that we don't have sugar tickets, we have to buy black market white sugar, it costs nearly a dollar a catty, plus the road fee, a sugar gourd is only four or five cents of profit, it can't be cheaper, if it can be cheap, it will be cheaper a long time ago." ”

After a pause, he pretended to be embarrassed and said: "That's it, a sugar gourd costs three cents, if you buy two, it will cost five cents, and I can only discount it to this point, aunts and aunts will buy it if they think it is cost-effective, and I can't help it if it's not cost-effective." ”

Those aunts and aunts were not discouraged and continued to bargain with Xiaoru: "What kind of discount are you?" You have to buy two to get a discount of five cents, so it's better to pay two cents and five cents a piece. ”

Xiaoru smiled and refused: "I'm really sorry, I can't afford to sell~"

No matter what those aunts and aunts said, she just didn't let go, and the children who wanted to eat sugar gourds kept making trouble, and finally the aunts and aunts had to buy sugar gourds with a straight face.

Because three cents is too expensive, half of the people bought two for five cents, and sold forty or fifty strings in less than half an hour.

Because a lot of people gathered in front of Xiaoru's stall, more people came to see what she was selling.

I saw that she sold crabs in addition to sugar gourds.

People in the city have always eaten crabs, but in those years life was too hard, people were too poor, and because of the policy, no private stalls were allowed so there were no crabs to sell, and now I suddenly saw crabs for sale, and many people were so hungry that they swallowed their saliva, and they hadn't tasted crabs for many years.

So someone asked, "How do you sell this crab?" ”

The two little brothers were stunned, someone really wanted to buy crabs!
