Chapter Ninety-Eight: Selling Spring Festival Couplets (2)
After a while, they arrived at the county seat, and there was a tea shed at the entrance of the county seat, where the service of guarding the ox cart and carriage was provided, and Liu Man'er and others got off the carriage here.
After drinking a bowl of tea to warm up, the group continued to walk into the county, and she had to find a place to set up a stall before she could put the carriage away.
In recent years, there are really too many people, and it is not easy to set up a stall in this place, so I looked around on a few regular streets, but I didn't find a place, and finally Liu Man'er simply set up a stall on the side of the road with a large flow of people.
In fact, in normal times, this kind of stall is not allowed on the roadside, but now that the year is over, no one cares about these, so Liu Man'er can't manage so much, not to mention, there are still many people on this road to set up stalls.
For example, some old women selling insoles, small vendors of wheat noodle people, and some people selling messy knick-knacks occupy more than half of this road.
Liu Man'er also set up her stall, and originally planned to let Ye Yuan put the carriage away after finding a good place, but now there is no need to find land, just put the carriage behind.
"Come on, come on, start selling Spring Festival couplets." Liu Man'er looked at Ye Lotus, Ye Feng, and Liu Fusheng.
Anyway, Ye Yuan was not good at this, he had already obediently sat on the carriage and closed his eyes to recuperate.
The little monkey in Liu Man'er's arms was also the first time to come to a place with so many people, and when he saw so many strangers, he jumped up and down for a while.
"I'll sell peanuts." Liu Fusheng volunteered to say that he had several experiences in selling things, and he didn't need you Liu Man'er to teach, he would already open his throat and shout, "Sell peanuts, taste them first and then buy them, they don't need money if they don't taste good." ”
"Come on, Xiaohe, Ye Feng, come on." Liu Man'er raised her fist at them.
After all, Ye Feng was a scholar, and his face was thin, so he said to Liu Man'er, "Sister-in-law, I'll collect the money." ”
Ye He didn't want to force his brother, so he shouted with a crisp voice, "Sell Spring Festival couplets......"
Some of the small vendors next to them looked at them like fools, although they were already selling very hard, but there were not many people coming, because on this street, there were a lot of people hawking, people coming and going, some people beating horses, the sound of cars and talking, and the lively road, this shouting could not attract people to come.
"Just kidding, I can't sell anything yet." Seeing this situation, Liu Man'er felt that it would be impossible not to come up with her killer weapon.
She took out a gong from the sedan chair and struck them with a small mallet, "Come on, play monkey, come and see, watch the monkey ...... for free."
As soon as this voice sounded, soon there were people who saw the excitement looking over here, and Shuai Shuai saw that there were many people, and quickly jumped on Liu Man'er's shoulders.
"Come on, come and see, let's see our family's cleverness and cuteness, our handsome family can turn heels, do arithmetic, and pretend to be dead and helpless."
As soon as Liu Man'er's words were finished, the handsome man quickly got off Liu Man'er's shoulders and lay motionless on the ground.
The person who had something good to do reached out and touched it, but it didn't react, and everyone was amazed, "Isn't it really dead?" ”
"Our handsome family will not die, as long as there are peanuts to eat, it will wake up." Liu Man'er said and said to Ye He, "Come, little girl, throw two peanuts." ”
Ye He did so, and when the peanut was thrown over, the handsome man jumped up from the ground, caught the two peanuts, and smashed them to eat.
"Come, everyone stand far away, let my handsome handsome man turn over and fight." Liu Man'er stretched out her hand as she spoke, and Shuai Shuai jumped over Liu Man'er's hand.
"Turn two more." Liu Man'er said again, and this handsome man did so.
"Turn over the ...... again," Liu Man'er said, but the handsome man was disobedient and rushed to her shoulder.
Liu Man'er said, "Oh, this kid is hungry, I have to buy some peanuts for him to eat." ”
Liu Man'er said and took Shuai Shuai to the front of the stall, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am here to sell Spring Festival couplets, everyone who has money holds a money field, and those who don't have money hold a personal field, buy a couplet, so that I can get silver money to buy peanuts for my handsome family." ”
"Shuaishuai, don't you say? Here, give you a look. As soon as Liu Man'er's words were finished, the handsome man folded his hands and waved at these people.
It whimpered and whimpered, as if it were pitiful.
Liu Man'er's family has seen a lot and thinks it's nothing, but no one else has ever seen such an aura monkey, so they immediately came to Liu Man'er's stall.
This handsome man picked up a big couplet to show everyone, and someone asked, "How do you sell this couplet?" ”
The handsome man stretched out eight fingers with both hands.
"Bawen?" The man hesitated.
"Yes." Ye Feng nodded on the side.
"What about the little one?" The man picked up a smaller one, and Shuai Shuai stretched out five more fingers.
"Wuwen?" The man asked.
"Yes." Ye Feng nodded.
"Give me two for the small one, and one for the big one." The man said generously.
Ye Feng helped to get a good pair, and while giving it to him, he also read it out: "Spring is full of flowers in the world, and the Fulin courtyard is always safe in all seasons, and spring is full of the world." ”
After he folded the couplet, the handsome man took it, and respectfully handed it to the person who bought the couplet, and after the person who bought the couplet took it, he stretched out his hand to him and asked for money.
This person gave money, and Shuai Shuai gave most of the money to Liu Man'er, and then left a piece of money for himself, jumping and jumping to Ye He and Liu Fusheng next to him to buy peanuts.
Many people thought it was interesting, and they were reluctant to leave, so Liu Man'er said: "Shuai Shuai, you see that someone just bought a couplet, should you buy some peanuts to thank him?" ”
Shuai Shuai took a peanut from Ye He and handed it to this person, this person was about to leave, and he whined and asked people to peel it off and eat it, after this person ate it, he nodded, "Well, this peanut tastes good." ”
"It's the New Year, you can buy some peanuts and go home to eat, taste them first and then buy them, you don't need money if they don't taste good." Liu Man'er motioned to Ye He to take some peanuts for these people to taste, and said: "Peanuts and peanuts, get promoted to make a fortune, and land to grow flowers, which is very auspicious." ”
Her peanuts tasted good, and there were such aura monkeys looking at them, after these people bought the couplet, most of them would buy some peanuts, Liu Man'er asked this handsome handsome man to help collect money and hand things, these people looked interesting.
Besides, most of this person likes to watch the excitement, and after a lot of people surround him, other people don't know what happened, and they will come around to watch.
Liu Man'er took this opportunity to sell her peanuts and Spring Festival couplets, so that a lot of them were sold in an instant, and even the surrounding vendors were also stained.
Liu Man'er is an anxious child, she doesn't want to be like them, she has been waiting here, waiting for others to come and buy it, she wants to sell it all out at once, and then go shopping, fortunately I brought this handsome man today, although some opportunistic and grandstanding, but the effect is very good, and her thing was sold out at once.
"Close the stall and leave." After the Spring Festival couplets were sold, some peanuts and willow vines were not in a hurry, and they were put at home to eat slowly.
Ye Yuan came over to help move the stool and plank, and when she left, the surrounding vendors smiled at her gratefully, and the old woman gave her a pair of tiger shoes, saying that it was for this handsome and handsome to wear, and the small vendor also sent a small noodle person to Shuai Shuai.
Liu Man'er put the shoes on Shuai Shuai, "Come, Shuai Shuai, thank your mother-in-law for saluting this uncle." ”
When Shuai Shuai straightened up his upper body to salute these two small vendors, these two small vendors were rare.
They are also stained with the light of Shuai Shuai today, so they took some gadgets to repay Shuai Shuai, Liu Man'er They are leaving, and the small vendors around here are still a little reluctant.
But there was no way, Liu Man'er's things were sold out early.
"Ye Yuan, let's pull the car to the tea shed first, and then have a good stroll." Liu Man'er said.
"Okay." Ye Yuan jumped into the carriage, drove the tea shed to and fro, and when he arrived at the tea shed, he asked Xiao Er to help look at it, and this Xiao Er also nodded again and again.
Ye Yuan often comes to the county seat, and he also knows this little er, and he agreed to wait for the money, and the family happily went to the shops.
This county is more prosperous than the town, and there are a lot of strange things, of course, for Liu Man'er, a snack seller, it is natural to take the children to visit these snack bars first.
Today, her goal is to eat all day long in the snack street.
What dandan noodles, dragon copy, anchovy crisp, mutton soup, blood duck powder, mixed liver soup, drunken glutinous rice balls, chicken sauce pot stickers, fried tofu, bean curd noodles, crispy mouth, glazed roasted wheat, glutinous rice chicken, bosi oil cake, candied fruit, preserved fruit, donkey rolling......
She won't let go of any of these, and when she is full, she has to pack.
Usually she eats a lot of things by herself and is full in one bowl, but today she is not afraid, she can eat a bowl with Ye Yuan, and everyone eats together, and she can eat a lot of things at once.
The snacks here are all from one street, she found a table, ordered two bowls of mutton soup, and then bought Ye Yuan's snacks that could be wrapped in kraft paper such as chicken sauce potstickers, anyway, it was on one street, and it was convenient.
The table of the last group of people was full of a large pile, and the steaming appearance made people appetize when they looked at it.
Liu Man'er likes to eat spicy, and the characteristics made the stall owner give her a small bowl, after eating this mutton soup, she went to taste the blood duck powder, and then ate mixed liver soup, another bowl of bean curd noodles, and another bowl of drunken rice balls, and finally everyone was unable to walk.
Liu Man'er put away the snacks that could be packed, touched her round belly and said, "It's so supportive, I don't want to leave." ”
When Ye Yuan heard her words, he said helplessly, "You are embarrassed to say that you are good now, and the most supportive thing is whether I am good or not." ”
Liu Man'er can't eat a lot of things at all, sometimes she just tastes a bite or two and throws it to Ye Yuan, Ye Yuan can't eat it yet, fortunately Ye Yuan has a little helper to help him eat, otherwise he will die on this road.
