Chapter 20: A Trip to the County Seat
Next, the two of them did not delay in chopping wood and picking mushrooms, once they met Mrs. Qu, and they took a basket of mushrooms back to eat, and it turned out that it is said that the whole family of the Qu family pulled for a day and a night that night, and when they saw Qu Xiaobai again, Mrs. Qu's face was almost pulled to the ground, but it was also beneficial, that is, Mrs. Qu no longer wanted the mushrooms picked by the two of them from the shouting mountain, it was estimated that she was scared.
Qu Xiaobai is really wronged, the mushrooms in question are definitely not intentional by her, sometimes she accidentally picks poisonous mushrooms, after these mushrooms go back, Qu Xiaobai will sort them again, and then he will eat what he can eat at home, who would have thought that the old lady would save trouble and directly send a pot to the pot, which can't be blamed on them.
Even if she treats Mrs. Qu again, Old Man Qu will not poison her if she doesn't like it, this method is too low-level, and it violates her conscience, she is not a murderer.
Fortunately, Mrs. Qu didn't come to trouble the two of them, and it can be regarded as Amitabha, it is estimated that Qu Liancheng, the big financier, is not there, and the two of them are insignificant, and no one in the Qu family is in a hurry to find trouble, in case these two little guys have a fever or something, they can't help the Qu family, and no one wants to cause trouble, so they hide far away.
Qu Xiaobai happened to be quiet, the season of wild mountain mushrooms passed, she took Qu Xiaojiang and went up the mountain again, and brought the wild honeycomb back, but this time the two of them did not go back to the village directly! It was to go to the county seat with a large basket of wild honeycombs and a basket of white firs.
It takes three hours to take a car from their village to the county seat, and it is only possible to take a car to a neighboring village, a person costs two cents, Qu Xiaobai paid two cents, and his younger brother Qu Xiaobai does not need to pay for the road, sitting in the car, Qu Xiaobai is nothing, he has not gone to the county seat in his previous life, and that is where he works, but Qu Xiaojiang has never been there, he is full of interest along the way, and he is surprised when he sees everything, his mouth can't be closed, and there is almost no time to be free.
I didn't meet anyone from their village in the car, probably because someone had already started planting cabbage and radishes in autumn at this time, busy with family affairs, and who would want to spend money to go to the county seat.
When I arrived at the county seat, Qu Xiaobai tightened Qu Xiaojiang, there are many traffickers here, two people or children are inevitably dazzling, I am afraid of meeting people with ill intentions, although I learned taekwondo in my last life, but now I am still a child, even if she practices in this period of time, it is pitiful that her body is not good, she is not full of food and clothing, and it is strange that the cornmeal batter can be eaten every day, there is no nutrition, and there is no strength in the basic hands and feet, how can there be extra energy to move the muscles and bones.
The two children have to calculate their meals, otherwise they will not be able to harvest the autumn equinox grain, they have not yet been able to improve their lives, this time Qu Xiaobai also made up his mind to sell it for money, to add some nutrition to them, otherwise they will not grow tall in the future.
Qu Xiaobai is familiar with the road and pulls Qu Xiaojiang straight to the bazaar, there are many small traders who come to trade next to the bazaar, all of them are from nearby villages, some wild things or their own fresh vegetables will be sold, of course, there are also acquisition stations in the bazaar, but Qu Xiaobai knows that the price of the purchase station is very low, not to mention, if you see children like them, I am afraid the price will be lower! Qu Xiaobai sighed!
There's no way, there's no one to rely on, and a dad still doesn't work.
That's why she chose this way, because there are several large factories in the neighborhood where workers pass by every day, especially today is Sunday, and many people improve their lives, which is enough for people to be rare.
If the white fir is spoken, she also knows that there is a shop here that specializes in collecting white fir trees, and the dealers who go to their village to collect white fir are actually sold here, after all, no one is worth running hundreds of miles to the provincial capital for dozens of catties of white fir to earn not enough money for the journey.
Take Qu Xiaojiang to the store first, the window is bright and clean, and the signboard reads "Erbao Mountain Goods Acquisition", and the owner of the store seems to be called Erbao.
The two of them walked in, there were a few people in the store, and they both smiled when they saw the sister and brother, the children of the poor were already in charge of the house, and they knew that they must have been brought out by their parents, and they were probably here to sell things, and the parents seemed to understand people and knew where to do business.
A middle-aged man had already walked over and asked, "Little girl, what are you selling?" "It looks like a shopkeeper, and he looks very kind, so much so that he didn't think they were children, so he looked at them differently, so that Qu Xiaobai felt that this person was a character.
Take out the white fir pocket in the back basket and open it for the man to see.
"The wild mountain mushroom white fir picked by my family, you see how much you receive!" is neither humble nor arrogant, and is not panicked at all, which makes Ma Erbao secretly surprised.
This family of parents is very powerful, it looks inconspicuous at all, and it is a little shabby, but this opening can be seen that this girl is very atmospheric, not stage frightened at all, she is a person who has seen the world.
looked carefully at the white fir in his pocket, and couldn't help but nod, "It's a first-class product, not bad!" The girl's white fir is well sunburned, very dry, and clean, and there are quite a few of them! In this way, I have four yuan a pound of white fir here, and I am giving this price to the surrounding dealers, your goods are good, and the quality is good, I will give you four yuan and five yuan for a catty, how about it? ”
Qu Xiaobai immediately knew that people didn't bully them to lower the price, the dealers in the village were three yuan a catty, she thought that it would be four yuan at most in the county, maybe three yuan and five yuan would be sold, after all, it would be more than a dozen yuan, and the price given by people now should be a real price.
"Okay, uncle, then you can weigh me and count the money." She was also happy, and if she bargained again, she didn't know how to lift, Qu Xiaobai could see that this uncle should have deliberately made the price because of their young age.
Ma Erbao was very surprised, this little girl can, it's rare to be so happy.
Immediately asked people to weigh it, and when he saw Qu Xiaojiang's back basket at a glance, he jokingly asked: "Yo, there are still good goods hidden!" What is this? ”
Someone has already seen Qu Xiaobai's white fir tree, and someone actually bought it immediately, it seems that they are waiting for the white fir here.
Qu Xiaojiang turned around vigilantly and didn't let Ma Erbao touch his head, but his sister said that there were many bad people outside, what if he fainted and was taken away.
Ma Erbao didn't catch any of them, looking at the defensiveness on this little kid's face, he was going to laugh.
Qu Xiao patted Qu Xiaojiang on the shoulder, "This uncle is a good person." Uncle, this is the wild honeycomb we picked in the mountains, and there are a lot of honey and pupae in it. "I don't know if this is accepted here, she didn't think of it just now, she just thought of setting up a stall outside to sell it.
Ma Erbao was surprised, "Yo, it's still a good thing, then take it out and take a look, I collect it all here, as long as the thing is good, the price is easy to say." "This thing is rare, now the peaks in the mountains are wild, and they will sting when they see people, no one is willing to take this risk, and very few people are willing to get this thing.
