Chapter XXXIV Protection Fees
, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the pet farmer little girl! The woman laughed too, and said, "Look at the girl, you should say kiss, right?" When you get married, you'll have children soon. ”
"I'm married." An Xiu'er replied in a low voice, and when she spoke, a touch of shyness belonging to the bride quietly crept up on her face.
The woman who sold the shoes laughed and said, "Actually, it is easy to make shoes, if you come to the market next time, I will teach you." ”
"How can that, if I learn, wouldn't I rob my aunt of your job?" An Xiu'er shook her head and said, "When I have a child, I'll buy it from your aunt, anyway, I just embroider and embroider on weekdays, make some gadgets with silk threads, and I don't have time to do anything else." ”
"This is a shoe-making, almost all the girls and mothers-in-law in our village can do it, it's not a craft, but I do it more carefully than them, and I know more tricks, so I simply started to make a living of making shoes." The woman was generous, and she didn't care about what An Xiuer said about snatching jobs.
An Xiu'er laughed, "My aunt is generous, too, these things also depend on the individual, like me, I like to make some of these gadgets since I was a child, and there are a lot of tricks in my stall, all of which I figured out by myself." ”
The two were talking, someone from the shoe-selling woman's stall came to buy something, the woman smiled apologetically at An Xiu'er, beckoned the business to go, An Xiu'er didn't care, and after a while, a little girl came to ask her about the things in the stall, the woman sold a pair of shoes, and she also sold a tassel pendant in the style of ingots.
The two of them sold their things, they were in a better mood, and they started chatting again, An Xiuer still admired the shoes on the women's stall, from the embroidered shoes to the tiger head shoes, and finally stopped on the men's boots.
It's not that she doesn't know how to make shoes, when she didn't leave the cabinet, her family's shoes were all made by her, but at that time, the shoes that needed to be made at home were very simple, as long as they were strong, An Xiuer did it casually every time, the style was the same, but the size was different.
In the past, she didn't look at the things she didn't buy, for fear that others would say that she didn't buy them, but when she talked to this woman today, she took a second look, and she took a fancy to a pair of men's boots on the stall.
Listen to the experienced old man said, the most important thing for this person is a pair of feet, the feet are warm, so that they will not get sick, Zhang Zhenan often walks by the river, the humidity is heavy, he should need a pair of boots, and his father also needs a pair of boots.
Now that the weather has slowly warmed up, it is about to enter summer, the summer weather is hot, but the morning is cool, the farmers generally get up early in the morning, go out to work when the dew is not dry, every time they come back the trousers are wet, if you can put on a pair of leather boots, you don't have to worry about this problem.
An Xiuer looked at it, and couldn't help but pick up the shoes again and looked at them, not to mention the delicate patterns on them, An Xiuer reached in and touched them, the inside was very soft, the sole was a tight wooden sole, which was more durable than the mille-feuille bottom, and it would not enter the water, so it should be very comfortable to wear.
"How do you make these shoes?" An Xiu'er liked it so much that she couldn't help but ask, as soon as she said it, she felt that something was inappropriate, how could she ask someone this question.
I thought that this aunt would not answer, but who knew that she actually said to An Xiu'er seriously, and said: "Actually, these shoes look difficult to do, in fact, they are really difficult to do, I asked my man to make this sole, and I made a shape with a saw, and the non-slip lines must be sawed at the bottom, and it must be sandpapered and polished, and then special nails should be used to make holes, and the insoles and boot tops should be nailed on, in fact, as long as this place is done, the rest is not difficult." ”
"Yes, but I shouldn't have the strength, I used to make shoes with mille-feuille soles, and I had to ask my mother to help." An Xiuer took a closer look at the shoes, and reluctantly put the shoes back in place, and asked casually: "These shoes are so difficult to make, presumably the price should not be cheap, right?" ”
"It's not expensive, a pair of 100 yuan." The woman said with a smile.
An Xiu'er pursed her lips and stopped talking, a hundred wen, if she sold all these things in her stall, she could afford to buy a pair, the problem is, she still has to keep the money to buy other things, after thinking about it, she can only give up.
After a while, there were more people coming and going on the street, and An Xiuer's stall belonged to the middle of the street, and there were even more people, and they were selling some female workers, and there were many people who asked, but they had no time to chat.
An Xiuer's things are delicate and small, and the price she sells is not too expensive, and most people are willing to spend money to buy one, she has a sweet mouth, others buy a handkerchief, and she sends a veil, so that the things on the stall are almost sold at once.
This made the insoles seller next to her a little red-eyed, especially the woman who sold insoles, she had been sitting for a long time, and there were many people who asked, but it had not yet opened.
The main thing is the insoles, which are really simple, and can be made with rags, and the countrymen will not buy them if they are reluctant to pay for it, and the people in the town will also make their own.
An Xiu'er set up a stall for a while, and the things in her stall were almost bought by some girls, and seeing that Zhang Zhenan hadn't come over yet, she straightened her head and looked at the street.
I didn't see Zhang Zhen'an, but saw a middle-aged man wearing a green coat and a headscarf looking around to collect money from these vendors, An Xiu'er was a little puzzled, so she asked the woman selling shoes next to her, "Auntie, what does that person do?" ”
"Collecting protection money." The woman saw that there was a faint fear in the man's eyes, and more disgust, and when she heard An Xiu'er ask, the woman who sold insoles next to her also scolded and scolded: "These peelers, even our hard-earned money has to be peeled off." ”
"Is it from the government?" An Xiu'er was a little puzzled, the last time she came, there were no such people who collected protection money.
"No, it's the ruffians here, they have recently made some kind of gang, and they want to collect money from us." The woman who sold the shoes explained to An Xiuer that she often came to the market to sell things, and she knew a lot about them.
"Doesn't the government care?" An Xiu'er didn't understand, she heard that the outside world was very chaotic, but her town has always been very peaceful, and there was a gang, and she was a little uneasy.
"Where will the officials care about this, they are originally in a group." The woman who sold the shoes snorted coldly, the originally kind round face was terrible, and every time she lost a penny in vain, she was definitely unhappy.
However, when the little ruffian who collected protection money came to her, she showed a kind smile on her face again, took the initiative to hand over the money, and said with a shy face: "This master has worked hard to protect the safety here." ”
When the ruffian heard her words, his face looked much better, and he took the money and said, "Even if you have eyes, if someone makes trouble on this street, you can come to us." ”
"Hey, okay, but it's okay, how dare we bother a few masters." The woman who sold the shoes could speak, and the ruffian was honest, and she took the money and left, and did not take anything from her stall or make trouble.
An Xiuer saw that everyone gave money, and when she came to her, she also handed out the money in a proper manner, after the ruffian received the money, he didn't say much, only went to other stalls, An Xiuer looked at him, and found that he even had to charge a penny for people begging on the streets, but he also had rules, as long as he gave money, he would not make trouble.
This made An Xiuer breathe a sigh of relief, she broke the fortune and eliminated the disaster, for a penny, she worked harder, and she came back with one more string.
lowered his head and was about to continue to work on the work in hand, but when he looked up, he saw Zhang Zhenan, who was carrying a fish basket and said in a low voice: "What did that person do just now?" Did you bully you? ”
"Nothing." An Xiu'er was a little afraid that Zhang Zhen'an would rashly go to others for trouble, and make trouble with others, and hurriedly explained: "This person said that he collected protection money, and everyone on the street paid a penny." ”
"Oh." Zhang Zhenan just replied lightly, then bypassed her things and stood behind her, asking, "Haven't you sold out yet?" ”
"No, you wait for me for a while, and if it can't be sold out, I'll take it to someone's shop." An Xiu'er replied, and Zhang Zhenan put the basket in her hand and stood behind her and waited silently.
"Girl, is this your man or your ......?" asked the woman selling shoes next to her.
"It must be her father, how could a girl marry a man of such age if she is so young and handsome." The woman selling insoles on the side sneered when she heard this.
"This is my father-in-law." An Xiu'er hurriedly replied: "He just looks old, but he is actually not very old." ”
The aunt who bought the insoles was silent, but the woman who sold the shoes smiled at Zhang Zhen'an apologetically, she originally thought that An Xiu'er was young, and the man she married must be about the same age as her, but she didn't expect this person to be so old, and it looked a little difficult to get along with.
"Your man looks quite burly, you must not worry about food and clothing if you follow him." The shoe-selling woman was worthy of being a businessman, and knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she hurriedly said a good word to remedy it.
"That's right, I'm amazing." An Xiu'er gladly accepted the woman's praise of Zhang Zhen'an, and then she put away the cloth spread on the ground and said, "The two aunts have a prosperous business, I'll go first." ”
"Hey, okay." The two of them didn't stay, anyway, after An Xiu'er left, their stall could still be spread a little wider, and with Zhang Zhen'an here, they felt that it seemed a little cold here.
"Because I'm here, you don't sell anything?" Zhang Zhenan touched his nose and followed An Xiu'er's side.
"yes, I don't want you to wait long, I'll sell these things in the shop." An Xiu'er said and walked to an embroidery shop she was familiar with.
