Chapter Twenty-Three: The Clever Head

Tao Li'er looked left and right curiously, the street didn't feel very spacious, the dirt floor, on both sides were all kinds of vendors who called to buy, as well as various shops, Tao Li'er was also observing along the way.

"Come and see! Freshly restocked buns! Guaranteed thin skin and plenty of filling! Come and see! ”

A lean man with a hat and a turban lifted the lid of the steamer at once, and the white gas scrambled to disperse.

Tao Li'er's eyes were completely attracted by the big buns in the steamer, it was really a big bun, twice as large as the so-called big buns in the previous life, the key was incense!

Tao Li'er's foodie attribute came out immediately, and a little boy pulled his mother to the bun shop.

"Mother, mother, I want to eat steamed buns! You buy me buns to eat! ”

I saw that the woman asked the price, and the guy smiled and said, "One copper plate and two buns, this aunt, buy two for your children to eat?" ”

Two buns for a penny!

Tao Li'er was shocked, not that it was expensive, but that it was too cheap!

She still thinks that a copper plate is equivalent to a modern dollar, but in modern times, one dollar can buy two such big buns? How can it be! Tao Li'er looked at Zhang beside her and pulled her sleeve.

"Auntie, I'll buy buns."

Zhang saw Tao Li'er pointing to the steamed bun shop, and then saw Tao Li'er's longing little eyes, and his heart softened, I'm afraid he hadn't eaten the steamed buns in this town, and then smiled, ready to give Tao Li'er money.

"Okay, you go, my aunt will give you money."

Hearing this, Tao Li'er took a step back, raised her little chin and said, "Auntie, how can I ask for your money, I am also a rich person, wait until I buy you and Uncle Shugen big buns and come back to eat." ”

Saying that, Tao Li'er ran to the bun shop in a hurry, Zhang was stunned, he didn't expect Tao Li'er to run away like this, but this little girl doesn't seem to be stingy, and she knows how to buy buns for her and the roots.

Then stopped Li Shugen in front, and the two of them waited for Tao Li'er to come over, thinking that Tao Li'er was a child, how much money could the Lin family give her, at most a copper plate, and she should be satisfied when she bought a snack to eat in the town.

Tao Li'er took a closer look, wow, it was bigger than what she saw from afar, but she also saw that there was soy milk next to it! If it is packed in a bamboo tube, it can be taken away at any time.

Soy milk with buns, this combination is not bad, so Tao Li'er hurriedly asked: "Little brother, how do you sell this soy milk?" ”

Tao Li'er was obviously malnourished, although she was very beautiful, but her height and eyes shrunk, making her thirteen-year-old bone age look like eight or nine years old.

"Soy milk is given by buying steamed buns, two steamed buns for a penny and two cups of soy milk, little sister, do you want to buy steamed bread or soy milk? If you sell it alone, you can pay five cups of soy milk for a penny. ”

It's really not expensive, and now people's hearts are simple, they must be made of good things, absolutely genuine, but the key is that Tao Li'er is poor, Tao Li'er blinked her eyes and looked at the guy in embarrassment.

"Little brother, I want to buy steamed buns, but do I want you to send soy milk?"

When the guy heard this, he immediately shook his head.

"There's no such rule."

Tao Li'er persevered, pinched three copper plates in her hand, looked at the guy and said pitifully: "Little brother, but I only have three copper plates, I have saved them for a long time, today is my mother's birthday, our family is poor, my mother can't eat anything at home on weekdays, and I am reluctant to buy myself something delicious when I come to the town. ”

Tao Li'er felt almost crying after speaking, and the guy was moved when he heard it, and hurriedly asked, "How many do you want to buy that little sister?" ”

Tao Li'er immediately compared with her hands.

"Little brother, I don't want more, I buy six buns, you give me three cups of soy milk, buy less, my father and mother must be for me to eat, my mother still can't eat it, so little brother, please, please."

Tao Li'er blinked her cute eyes and looked at the guy, the guy only felt that his heart was about to melt, he looked back at the store, and quickly wrapped six big buns for Tao Li'er, and then tied three bottles of soy milk and hung them directly on Tao Li'er's neck.

Tao Li'er thanked her sweetly, the guy was afraid that the boss would come out, so he hurriedly let her go, Tao Li'er smiled sincerely, and then carefully walked towards the two of them with a big bun.

As soon as Tao Li'er left here, a middle-aged man wearing the boss's clothes came out of the store, he looked at Tao Li'er's back, and squinted at the guy at the door.

"That little girl bought buns?"

The young man hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, I saw that she was a child and easy to deceive, so I halved the soy milk." ”

The boss smiled with satisfaction: "It's the right thing to do, otherwise where does our business come from?" You're not ruthless enough this time, next time you run into a child again, you don't have to send soy milk, and the buns will cost a penny, understand? ”

The guy nodded busily, the boss hummed and went in, and the guy stretched out his head to see that the boss was gone before wiping his sweat.

Obediently, fortunately, I wasn't found out by this week, otherwise I really have to be skinned by him, tsk, even children, it's really a black-hearted profiteer, I'm the same today, I can't be so risky next time, if it weren't for this little girl being so filial, I wouldn't take a risk.

This young guy is glad in his heart, Tao Li'er's side is different, Zhang thought that Tao Li'er couldn't buy much, how did he think that Tao Li'er actually bought six buns, and there was soy milk around his neck? How much does it cost?

She is a child, where did she get so much money, Zhang quickly took the buns and soy milk that were about to fall, and looked at Tao Li'er's eyes a little serious.

"Li'er, where did you get so much money, and you bought buns to buy your own, how did you buy so much? Isn't that a waste of money? ”

Tao Li'er didn't expect that she would be able to buy a bun, so she moved her muscles and bones, and then told the Zhang family about the five copper plates that the Lin family gave her.

Zhang glanced at Li Shugen, and then glared at Tao Li'er.

"Your mother has nothing on weekdays, these five copper plates, she must have saved them for a long time, and if she can't get it, it's all the money, this time for you, it should be for you to use in an emergency, you little girl, you actually spent it all!"

Tao Li'er was shocked, and then hurriedly explained: "It's not spent, these add up to only three copper plates, and the soybean milk was originally sent with steamed buns, and it costs five pennies to sell it alone, I begged that guy to sell it for me." ”
