Chapter 48 Wholesale
When the Shen family had dinner in the evening, Shen Shiliu said: "When Sister Xiuhua passes the door in the future, I think about letting my sister-in-law stop farming, I can't rely on the sky to eat, like this year, if I catch up with a natural disaster, the whole family will starve to death." ”
When Shen Shu heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "It's still early to pass the door, you think fast!" ”
"It's only been two years, and it's going to be over soon, so you have to think about it sooner!" Shen Shiliu looked at Shen Shu and smiled, today she can be regarded as seeing the other side of Shen Shu, she is still a little interesting in front of Hong Xiuhua, she still thinks that his brother is really a wood!
After eating, the Shen family continued to pack rice cakes, and two large pots were finished.
Early the next morning, Zheng was no longer at home, and went to the county seat with him. Shen Shiliu was afraid that Zheng's would be cold, and specially instructed Zheng to wear an extra layer of cotton.
The family of four was all together, and when they walked outside the village, they happened to meet Han Shuliang and Han Meili.
Han Shuliang and Han Meili both came over to say hello, Han Meili looked at Shen Shu and felt embarrassed, so she stood aside and didn't speak.
After a few greetings, Han Meili looked at Shen Shu's back, and her eyes turned red again.
"Okay, the wedding date can't be delayed any longer, and in the future, it's like never had this thing before, don't worry about Shen Shu anymore." Han Shuliang sighed, he was going to get married last time, but Han Meili fell ill once, and the wedding date was postponed.
Han Meili wiped her tears, last time she pretended to be sick, just to not get married, but unfortunately Shen Shu and Hong Xiuhua made a marriage after that, she really didn't have a chance.
Han Shuliang remembered that his mother Qian asked him not to go to the Shen family when he got old, and it was estimated that her mother still didn't like Shen Pomegranate, and she didn't want him to go into the house.
"Let's go." Han Shuliang said, and then took Han Meili home first, although he felt pity in his heart, he was powerless to return to the sky.
Shen Pomegranate at the other end of the county put up the stall, selling broth here, selling rice cakes there, and the wrapping of various fillings is also good-looking, and someone came to inquire about the price as soon as it was put on the table.
Shen Pomegranate said before going out, it was sold at the same price as before, and it was sold quickly without a price increase!
The Zheng family sold this broth, and Shen Shimei gave his gloves to the Zheng family.
"Mother is not cold, you wear it!" Zheng felt sorry for Shen Pomegranate, and was afraid that Shen Pomegranate's hands would freeze.
Shen Shiliu didn't listen, and put it on Zheng's: "I'm fine, I'm just collecting money, don't do it!" ”
Shen Pomegranate is also really busy, she collects the money for the broth here, and she also collects the money for the rice cake over there, and she is tired enough to choke in the morning, so she simply didn't collect the wrong money.
"Mother, the broth has been sold out, you and your father can go back first, the sheep goods will also be cleaned up, and then buy the grain sold tomorrow by the way, go back and steam it first, and wait for me to go back and mix the stuffing, here I can watch the rice cake stall alone!" Shen Shiliu said.
Zheng looked at the sky, and said: "The gloves are for you, you and your brother will watch them together for a while, I don't worry about the girl, in case someone targets you to grab money, my mother is afraid that something will happen to you!" As he spoke, he returned the gloves to Shen Shimei.
Shen Shiliu smiled and nodded, and then took a rice cake to eat.
"Cool! Mother is going to buy you hot buns! "Zheng is afraid that Shen Pomegranate will have a cold stomachache!
Shen Shiliu smirked, and then said, "I'm stuffed!" Give my brother three pieces of meat! ”
"Got it!" Zheng smiled, and then went to buy buns on the other side.
gave the bun to Shen Shimei, and Shen's father and Shen's mother left first. As soon as Shen Shu came back from the school, he saw Shen Pomegranate alone.
"Mom and Dad have gone back? You're the only one? Shen Shu asked.
Shen Pomegranate nodded, and then took out the bun he was holding in his arms and gave it to Shen Shu: "Eat, these three meats are yours!" The brother and sister divided the buns and ate them, and as soon as the cool breeze blew, Shen Pomegranate turned his back, so as not to choke on the cool breeze.
Shen Shiliu turned around, and saw that there were people talking in the stall on Du Xuanmo's side, and Du Xuanmo seemed to be a little embarrassed.
"Brother, you look at it, I'll take a look!" After Shen Shiliu finished speaking, he walked to the bookshelf.
Shen Shu smiled bitterly and muttered, "It's really a big woman."
Shen Shiliu approached the stall, and heard the man say: "I have accepted all your couplets, and it saves you from selling them one by one, right?" Ten pennies isn't cheap! ”
"My couplets are sold for thirty wen a pair, and your ten wen is too little!" Du Xuanmo said that although he also wanted to save some effort, if he sold it too cheaply, he would make too little, and he would not be able to pay the price next time!
Shen Pomegranate has a one-meter eye, oh, he understands.
Then he waved his hand at Du Xuanmo, and shook his head again, Shiwen is indeed not making money.
Du Xuanmo saw Du Xuanmo, smiled lightly, and still refused.
But the man still didn't give up and said: "This couplet will be sold for a while, and when the year passes, no one will buy your couplet!" ”
Du Xuanmo said that the person didn't leave, and finally Shen Pomegranate was annoyed, so he said: "This couplet is really good, if I want it all, give twenty-five Wen, will the boss sell it?" ”
As soon as the person who asked the price heard this, he looked back at Shen Shimei, and then said, "Twenty-five Wen? Aren't you too rich in your family! ”
"Don't worry about selling this couplet, don't say thirty wen when I buy it, it is estimated that someone will buy fifty or sixty wen!" Shen Shiliu said, she can also see that this person just wants to take advantage!
The man saw Shen Pomegranate like this, and finally gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and left.
Du Xuanmo finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the people leaving.
"You're still powerful, or this person is still here, let me spend a lot of words!" Du Xuanmo said.
Shen Shiliu smiled: "I've seen someone who takes advantage of it, but I've never seen someone who takes advantage of it like this, if he takes all of the twenty-five texts, it's just that, ten texts, it's too much of a bully!" ”
Du Xuanmo smiled: "It's okay." ”
Shen Shiliu took a closer look at the couplet, and found that Du Xuanmo's couplet may not only be good words, but also good poems, although they are all auspicious words, but they have a unique charm, which is much more advanced than those sentences like "making a fortune every year and having a surplus every year".
"Thirty Wen is really not expensive, and there are many literati in your place, and it is estimated that it will sell quickly!" After Shen Shiliu finished speaking, he asked, "How much have you already bought?" ”
"I've already sold the actual pair, and I wrote twenty pairs yesterday very late, and I will continue to write today." Du Xuanmo said.
Shen Shiliu admired it very much, let alone let her write twenty pairs in one night, just thinking about words, it is estimated that she would have a hard time getting one pair in one night.
"I feel like you can earn a lot of money with this ticket, I don't know if you can make up enough fifteen taels." Shen Shiliu said.
"Although the hope is small, there is always money to be made, and it will depend on God when the time comes." Du Xuanmo smiled bitterly, poverty had already limited his ambitions, and if he didn't get it, he might really have to stay up for another three years.
"Don't be discouraged, God loves good people!" Shen Shiliu comforted Du Xuanmo, but she also knew that it was difficult for Du Xuanmo to make up ten taels in such a short time.
Du Xuanmo smiled faintly, and then took a pair of couplets and gave them to Shen Shimei.
"What are you polite with me, keep it for the money!" Shen Pomegranate refused.
Du Xuanmo shook his head: "Originally, I also wanted to write a pair for you, so don't refuse." ”
Shen Shiliu saw that Du Xuanmo was so sincere, so he said, "That's okay, I'll take it!" Then he ran to his stall and took some rice cakes and sent them over: "Take them back and eat them, and I will give you a gift for the New Year!" ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, looking at the things in their hands, is this considered a token of love?
However, Shen Shimei pondered the couplet for a few days, and it was estimated that it was blown by the wind, and Du Xuanmo also felt that the rice cake would be gone after eating it directly, if it was like this, it would be used as a love token, and it always felt bad!
So the lover pondered in his heart, he must find an opportunity to give the other party something that is good to preserve and has far-reaching significance!
"Pomegranate, a guest is coming!" Shen Shu shouted at the stall, and Shen Pomegranate hurried back to sell the goods.
Shen Shu saw that Shen Shimei came back with a couplet, so he looked at it, and then said, "The word Du family brother is really good!" ”
"Yo, can you see that it's getting better?" Shen Shiliu asked Shen Shu, he has only been in school for half a year, and he has a good appearance.
"That is, your brother is now a serious student, and he has long been out of the small class!" Shen Shu said that in order not to sit with a group of little children to study as soon as possible, he also worked hard.
Shen Shiliu smiled: "Wait for next year's couplet in our family, let you write it!" ”
Shen Shu nodded, he didn't know what the meaning of reading was before, but now that he has read a book, he really feels quite fun, and he is even very flexible in thinking about things.
After selling for half an afternoon, the rice cakes here were about to be sold out, and Shen Shu saw that Shen Pomegranate's ears were a little red, so he said, "Let's go first, don't freeze if you have these left." ”
Shen Shiliu nodded, although the winter here is not too cold, but after freezing for so long, she also feels a little unbearable.
"Girl, I want more of your rice cakes, do you sell them?" An elderly man came over and said.
Shen Pomegranate wanted to be "wholesale", so he said: "Selling is selling, but there are only a few left today!" ”
"It's okay, my lord wants to hold a banquet for his birthday, and he wants a bit much, about five hundred." As soon as the old man finished speaking, Shen Shiliu hurriedly nodded: "Five hundred, let's talk about the price first!" "Shen Pomegranate came to the spirit.
After talking to the old man about the price, the old man also gave a deposit of one or two, and Shen Shiliu was surprised: "Old man, aren't you afraid that I will take the money and run away?" ”
The old man smiled: "Your family sells food here every day, I'm not afraid that you will run away!" ”
Shen Shiliu smiled, and then said: "Cheng, uncle, you come tomorrow morning, I guarantee that five hundred is not less!" Take these old people back and taste them first, if they are well eaten, you will have any banquets at home in the future, you will come again! ”
"Cheng, the little girl is really good at trading, it's amazing!" The old man was also happy.
Shen Shimei wrapped the remaining six or seven rice cakes with yellow paper and took them away for the old man.
"Pomegranate, I think you're really good at trading!" Shen Shu sighed, because of Shen Pomegranate, their family's life has leaped several levels!
"Where is this going, go, go home and make rice cakes, and make a lot of money tomorrow!" Shen Shiliu said that he and Shen Shu hurried back to the village.
