Chapter 1045: Famine, Natural Disasters 202
Cheng Dazhu, Cheng Yuandong, Cheng Yuanxi, and Cheng Mingyi's brothers came to the city gate one after another to meet.
"Dad, eldest brother, second brother, do you still have soap in your hands?"
Cheng Dazhu glanced at the guests around him and nodded, "I still have ten pieces here." ”
"I've got five here."
"I've got only three pieces left."
"Third uncle, we have seven pieces in our hands."
There are only fifteen pieces left.
Cheng Yuanxi apologized to the people who stayed: "The big guy also heard it, and there are only fifteen pieces left; At present, you can only come according to the queue order, first come, first served, if you still want, then you can only wait for tomorrow. Or go to Chengjiazhuang to find us and get it at home. ”
"Fifteen yuan, we will use one piece for each person first, and we will buy it after you come tomorrow." A plainly dressed woman raised her voice: "They are all waiting here to buy soap, and they must take home some harvest to see the benefits of soap first; So, according to the order of the queue, do you have any opinions? ”
"Okay, just follow the old girl's wishes."
"No comment, just do it."
They discussed it themselves, and Cheng Yuanxi handed them the soap while collecting the money.
Fifteen bars of soap, but sold out in a few moments.
Cheng Dazhu and the others watched with a smile on the side, and the fifteen people in front of the queue bought soap, and the remaining eight people didn't buy it, and they refused to leave.
Cheng Yuanxi smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, a few big brothers and sisters, the soap we brought out is indeed gone; Tomorrow we will bring more, we will definitely meet your needs, do you think it is feasible? ”
"Then you will definitely come to Fucheng, right?" A brawny man asked uncertainly.
"That's right, if you don't come, we can only go to Chengjiazhuang you said to find you; That's how far away! For a bar of soap, it's not cost-effective. ”
"Rest assured, tomorrow morning will be here; I'll be selling soap in my current location, okay? Cheng Yuanxi smiled and wanted to promise.
Eight people regretted leaving.
Didn't buy anything, disappointed.
After sending people off, Cheng Yuanxi breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the dense sweat on his forehead, he was so excited to sell in the winter; It's mainly small talk, and it's too involved in getting guests to chat.
"We brought more than 3,000 yuan and sold them all." Cheng Yuandong pinched his arm, like a dream.
More than 2,000 yuan, he is ready to sell a few hundred yuan; I didn't expect it to be sold out.
three board cars, one loaded with more than 500 pieces; In addition, one of them carried a basket, and there were more than 100 yuan in a basket, Cheng Mingli was young and didn't let him carry it, but he also helped push the cart.
Not counting Cheng Mingli, there were a total of seven of them, and one person carrying a hundred yuan was seven hundred; It's only a lot more, plus the one pulled up by the board car, it's not more than 3,000 yuan.
"All those at home will be brought tomorrow." Cheng Dazhu didn't need to think about it, "There is no lard at home to make soap, so I have to buy some back; The eldest child, the second child, and the third child go together, and you can buy as much as you can. ”
Not only are they selling, but they also have to sell to the shops and restaurants that have been negotiated, and the amount is huge.
Cheng Yuanxi didn't have time to ask how many they had negotiated, so he was sent to buy lard; In this way, it is the same to ask again when he goes home, and he does not forget to tell Cheng Dazhu before leaving.
"Dad, there are things brought to Mingyi by the prince of Zhou on the cart, you look at it."
Cheng Dazhu waved his hand, and he didn't have the heart to ask him how he met the prince of Zhou.
After the three brothers of Cheng Yuandong left, Cheng Mingyi and Cheng Mingzhi helped Cheng Dazhu to sit on a board car to rest; Cheng Mingli walked to their shuttle bus and reached out to touch the oiled paper bag on the board.
A keen sense of smell is the taste of meat, and it is lamb and beef.
These two flavors are really special, and there is only one in Fucheng that has such a good taste.
Cheng Minglian leaned up and asked curiously, "Mingli, what's in it?" ”
"Most of what the prince of Zhou gave to Yiyi was clothes and jewelry; Yiyi has not seen her bring those clothes and jewelry a few times, and the prince of Zhou still persevered in sending them. Cheng Mingxin sighed helplessly, no longer curious.
That prince has just a few routines, sending food and clothing, and there is nothing new.
Cheng Minglian was not interested after hearing this, "It would be nice to eat, there are so many delicious things in Fucheng; I can only watch and eat when I come out with my father, and I am hungry. ”
"Third cousin, I'm hungry too." Cheng Mingxin touched his stomach, and there was a faint grievance in his eyes.
"Bear with it when you're hungry, and you'll have something to eat when you get home." Cheng Minglian reluctantly spoke.
"Ugh."
"Ugh."
The two of them lay weakly on the board car in front of Cheng Mingli.
Cheng Mingli was afraid that they would smell the smell of meat emitted by the oiled paper packets, so he covered the oiled paper packets with a cloth that covered the soap; He was hungry enough, not only were they hungry, he was hungry, he couldn't help but swallow when he smelled it, but don't make them even more hungry.
The torture of being able to see but not to eat, he is experiencing.
Cheng Minglian and Cheng Mingxin didn't notice Cheng Mingli's movements at all, and focused on eating.
They were bored and wanted to find something to do to divert their attention.
Cheng Mingxin's eyes rolled, and after seeing Cheng Mingli, he said, "Little cousin, you said, what did the prince of Zhou give to Yiyi this time?" ”
"Didn't you say that!" Cheng Mingli avoided the important and followed their words.
"That's just speculation, looking at the oil paper wrapping, I guess it's not clothes and jewelry, right?"
Cheng Mingli: The fourth cousin has become smarter?
Cheng Minglian realized it later, and suddenly said: "I'll just say it!" Clothes and jewelry should not be wrapped in oiled paper, and the clothes and jewelry sent by the prince of Zhou can be tightly packed and proper, and oiled paper has never been used. ”
The identity and status of the other party are destined for him to be a particular person.
For people like them, if they give women clothes and jewelry, they can just pack a bag and give it away.
Well, they can't afford to give away clothes and jewelry.
The clothes and jewelry that the prince of Zhou gave to Mingyi are precious, don't you see that Mingyi rarely wears them at home; It's too expensive, dressed to work and play at home, and one is accidentally broken, and it's distressing.
“.” Cheng Mingli was silent.
Cheng Dazhu sat next to him and laughed at them.
Cheng Mingyi sighed and said, "Okay, don't chase after the little cousin and ask, you won't know when you get home; You're still not hungry enough, and if you're really hungry, you're going to have the strength to make a fuss here. ”
"Brother Lobby has a point." Cheng Mingming looked at them with a smile, "You guys are making such a fuss, it seems that you are not hungry." ”
Cheng Mingxin wailed, and said unrelentingly: "My brothers make fun of us, and they don't pity us." ”
"No more empathy!" Cheng Minglian howled.
The more they howled, the happier Cheng Mingyi and Cheng Mingming laughed, and there was no schadenfreude; It's more of a joke, everyone knows in their hearts that it's a joke, and it's over with a smile.
Cheng Mingli climbed onto the cart and lay his head on the covered oiled paper bag, uncomfortable and unwilling to move.
