Ma Hongqi's words completely moved the stall owner, he glanced at the listless rabbit on the ground, gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay, five is five!" ”
He has been in the back street for two days, if he doesn't change it today, it will be even less valuable when the rabbit dies, Xiao Housheng is right, there are really few people who can afford five yuan and are willing to buy rabbits in Sanlibao. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Shen Jiao happily took out five pieces of money from her pocket, she took it very carefully, and pulled it out one by one, not letting others see the other money in her bag.
As soon as the stall owner saw Shen Jiao's appearance, he knew that she was from the city, and the rural girl didn't have this style, and she couldn't carry so much money on her.
Paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other, the stall owner grinned and asked courteously, "Do you want rice?" My rice is delicious, and I can eat three bowls of rice without vegetables. ”
Shen Jiao glanced at his basket, the quality of the rice was not particularly good, slightly yellow, obviously only licked the head when the rice was licked, and the grain skin was not cleaned, but there are very few farmers who grow rice here in the northwest, and it is extremely rare to have such rice.
"How do you change the rice?" Shen Jiao asked.
As soon as the stall owner saw that there was a door, he said excitedly: "Two cents and five pounds, what's the matter?" ”
Ma Xinghua was so angry that she yelled in a low voice: "Why don't you go and grab it?" The grain station is full of a dime and a catty, but you have more than doubled, Jiaojiao, don't buy him, we will buy it from other people. ”
The stall owner smiled proudly: "I am the only one in the entire backstreet who has rice to exchange, and you can't find a single rice in other places." ”
Ma Xinghua was so angry that her face turned red, and she wanted to refute a few words, but she couldn't think of any words.
Shen Jiao said slowly: "Uncle, even if you find the whole Sanlipu Town, you can't find anyone to buy your rice!" ”
The stall owner was choked by her, blinked, and couldn't hold back a word, Ma Xinghua was really relieved to see it, and said to the stall owner: "What's the matter?" One dime and five pounds, we will change all this rice. ”
Just now, when she saw Shen Jiao's cool and energetic payment, she knew that the Shen family's grandfather and grandson were not bad for money, think about it, people used to be rich families, although they are now down, but the starving camel is bigger than the horse, and the family background will definitely not be too thin.
The stall owner shook his head like a drum: "No, no, no, this rice is what I have worked hard to grow, and I have only harvested more than 100 catties of rice from half an acre, if I plant sorghum, it will be more than these yields!" Two corners and one pound, no less! ”
Ma Xinghua and the stall owner after some bargaining, in the end, this half basket of fifteen catties of rice was sold for one dime, eight cents and one catty, a total of two yuan and seven dimes, Shen Jiao deliberately asked when paying: "Uncle, are you still here on fifteen?" ”
She just heard from the stall owner that she had collected more than 100 catties of rice, even if it was rice turned into a hundred catties, this man must still have rice at home.
The stall owner grinned and said: "Of course come, next time I will bring eggs, if I am lucky, I can catch pheasants, and the little girl remembers to come to me!" ”
"Hmm!" Shen Jiao responded.
Ma Hongqi helped her carry the rice, the stall owner was in a good mood after earning the money, and he didn't want the basket, and even gave the basket of rice to Shen Jiao.
Although Shen Jiao still wanted to buy a lot of things, but the money she spent just now was enough, she had to consider buying ten eggs, twenty catties of cornmeal, ten catties of white flour, and twenty catties of sorghum noodles.
Seeing the surprised expressions of the Ma Xinghua sisters and brothers, Shen Jiao deliberately sighed and said: "The things here are really expensive, grandpa's money is almost all spent by me, and I have to exchange things next time." ”
Ma Xinghua comforted her and said: "You can relax, you will be able to spend your salary in half a month, and life will be better." ”
Shen Jiao smiled at her, feeling a little uncomfortable, she didn't want to deceive her friends, but for the sake of safety, she better try to be careful!
It's just that what she doesn't know is that she still overestimates the purchasing power of the rural people at this time, in her opinion, it is a very low-key business, but in the eyes of Ma Xinghua and the locals, it is very tyrant, you know, no one here is usually willing to buy white noodles to eat, and no one will spend five yuan to buy a rabbit that can't boil oil!
At noon, they went back to the purchasing station together, Ma Xixi had already done things, and also bought some salt, soy sauce and other seasonings, thinking that they were brought for the farm workers, his face was a little impatient, and he yelled at them: "Why do you want to buy it for so long?" The sun is in the west! ”
Shen Jiao hurriedly took out the white bread from the basket, handed it over and said, "Uncle Xixi eats steamed buns, Sister Xinghua, they are all late to accompany me to buy things, don't blame them." ”
Ma Xixi looked at a few baskets, surprise flashed in her eyes, and she glanced at Shen Jiao, this little girl is quite rich, she bought so many things!
Thinking about it like this, he took the bun unceremoniously, but he didn't eat it, but put the bun into the basket, Ma Xinghua snorted coldly: "Big brother, you want to bring the bun to Xiaocao again, right?" I didn't see you thinking about our orchids? Orchid is still your niece, Xiaocao has nothing to do with you! ”
Ma Xixi's face was embarrassed, she glared at Ma Xinghua angrily, took out the bun from the basket, broke it in half, handed half to the little orchid, and then put away the remaining half.
Ma Xinghua winked at Ma Hongqi proudly, and said crisply: "Brother half of the bun, why did you take it back?" Xiaocao's mother asks where the other half is, what do you say, big brother? Say it's our orchid that you ate? Xiaocao's mother is not allowed to make a little temperament at you, and she won't let you go to her house for dinner! ”
Shen Jiao was so ignorant that she couldn't help but whisper to Ma Hongqi: "Brother Hongqi, who is Xiaocao?" Uncle Hee's daughter? ”
Ma Xinghua spat and said disdainfully: "Phew, our Ma family doesn't have this kind of barren mountain and wild grass, who knows which bastard gave birth to the wild seed!" ”
"Enough, the girl's mouth is a little virtuous, Xiaocao didn't provoke you!" Ma Xixi reprimanded with a calm face.
How do you know that this sentence can set Ma Xinghua on fire, the little girl's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and she stood up and screamed at Ma Xixi: "Why didn't you recruit me to provoke me?" Just recruit me to provoke me, the little vixen born by the old fox spirit, sucks your blood every day, eats your flesh, big brother, you are a half-brained (fool), and the money you earn is spent by these two fox spirits!
Shen Jiao understands now, she dares to love this Ma Xixi has a good friend, she should be a widow, and she has a daughter named Xiaocao, Ma Xinghua hates these two women very much, so she wants to damage this Ma Xixi when she has the opportunity.
Ma Xinghua scolded and cried, sobbing and choking: "Big brother, you are a ghost, you never scolded me before, since you were hooked by the fox spirit, you scolded me all day long, I will go back and tell grandpa, let grandpa train you!" ”
Ma Xixi was made to cry and laugh by her cousin, and softened her tone and said: "Say that you will drop the golden beans in two sentences, don't cry, the big girl who is about to get married, and she is not afraid of being embarrassed if she cries like this!" ”
"Just cry! Don't worry about it! ”
Ma Xinghua wiped her tears with her sleeves, her eyes were red, she probably felt embarrassed, and lowered her head and kept silent!
Ma Xi was happy to see his cousin like this, and he felt uncomfortable, so he picked up half a bun and ate it in two bites, and shouted at Ma Xinghua: "I'm always happy now, right?" ”
Ma Xinghua couldn't help laughing, but soon she got up again, with an awe-inspiring and inviolable appearance, which amused Shen Jiao.
