Chapter 18 Selling Melon Seeds
Xu Rujiao smiled faintly: "Go ahead, tell our mother, don't talk about new clothes, don't even think about having a single yarn." And most of it has to fall into Grandma's pocket, maybe your new clothes will end up on Li Xiaowei's body. ”
Xu Ruyan stopped talking.
After a while, she said, "But with so many sunflower seeds back, I don't say that my mother knows that it's not just two yuan." ”
"You don't have to worry about this, I've got you covered."
Before she came, she told her eldest sister that if she bought more, she would say that she took the money from her eldest sister, and she originally wanted to tell Xu Ruyan like this, clinker This girl is too smart.
The two of them carried up for a while, and Xu Ruyan couldn't help but speak again: "I... I've worked so hard, can you give me a new pair of shoes? ”
Xu Rujiao sneered: "Okay, for your sake." ”
Xu Ruyan was completely happy, and she didn't feel tired of moving dozens of catties of melon seeds.
The sunflower seeds were shipped home and began to be fried, and Li Xiuqin blamed her for buying so much in one go, so naturally she also asked where the money came from.
Xu Rujuan and Xu Ruyan helped to cooperate together, and fooled the past.
There were too many melon seeds, Xu Guangshi and Li Xiuqin fried for an afternoon and half a night, and finally finished frying.
It was still the eldest sister who went to sell with her, and this time the two went to Dayu Village, which was a little farther away from home, and this village was crowded and relatively wealthy.
In order to be eye-catching, they specially wrote a sign, with three big characters of "melon seeds" written on it, and stood on their pockets.
Xu Rujiao stood there and took a few deep breaths before shouting: "Sell-melon seeds-"
Her voice was crisp, and it quickly attracted some young people who came to watch the movie early.
A young man came over with a girl with braids: "Do you eat melon seeds?" I'll buy you some. ”
Xu Rujiao looked at this girl as if she was a little familiar, and before she could speak, the girl with braids smiled first: "It's you, this time you're selling melon seeds?" ”
Xu Rujiao suddenly remembered that this was not the first girl to buy their peanuts in Bagou Village: "Ah! You are the beautiful sister of Bagou Village, why are you here? ”
The girl smiled shyly, glanced at the young man next to her, and did not speak.
Xu Rujiao knew that she was coming from, scooped a bowl of melon seeds and asked, "Do you want some melon seeds?" Eat and watch. ”
The young man looked at the girl inquiringly, and the girl bowed her head slightly embarrassedly: "The peanuts they fried last time were very delicious." ”
The guy understood, and immediately paid for two bowls of melon seeds, one bowl for each of him and the girl.
It's still a dime a bowl, but the melon seeds are small, and there are many bowls, and they are more delicious when they are knocked up.
The guy and the girl walked all the way back with melon seeds in their hands, found their place and sat down while eating melon seeds while waiting for the movie to start.
Many people around looked at the two, and seemed to be very envious of the matter of buying melon seeds, and the two of them also enjoyed being watched by such a gaze, and they deliberately knocked very slowly and enjoyed it triumphantly.
A dime is said to be more or less, for the people of Dayu Village, who live a relatively well-off life, the pocket money accumulated on weekdays is almost like this, and some people can't help but buy it, so more people come, you have a bowl and I have a bowl, and they are crowded in front of the sisters' stall.
After a while, there were some people in the courtyard who were eating melon seeds, and some of them were holding melon seeds in their pockets, knocking them one by one, not so much that they were eating, but more enjoying the envious eyes of others.
Watching a movie with melon seeds, what a fashionable thing it is!
When there were more people buying, they began to consciously line up. No matter how many people come, they will all look this way, wondering why there are so many people and what they are doing.
Those who had good things spontaneously and consciously gave Xu Rujiao and them publicity, passed them on one by one, and knew more, and the adults who brought money took out a dime and two corners for the children, so that they could buy a bowl of hunger.
People's enthusiasm for buying is high, bowls of melon seeds are sold, and bills go into Xu Rujiao's pocket, and most people use sporadic gross tickets, which saves the trouble of finding money.
Although Xu Rujuan was in charge of scooping melon seeds, she could see the money that was being delivered quickly, and at first she was silently calculating how much money she had received in her heart, but later there were too many people to buy it, and she really couldn't count it.
The rumbling sound effect sounded, it was time to start the movie, and everyone went back to sit on the small bench they had moved from home, staring, and there was no lack of crisp snorting melon seeds in the noisy sound.
Xu Rujiao's stall was deserted, and she finally got some rest. Xu Rujuan put the tea bowl in the pocket containing the melon seeds, so she had already sold half a pocket of kung fu, she shook her wrist and leaned into the ear of the little sister: "There are so many people who come to buy, my wrists are sore, how much do we sell?" ”
Xu Rujiao put the few gross tickets she had just received into her pocket, and the smile on the corner of her mouth couldn't be hidden: "You guess? ”
After speaking, without waiting for the eldest sister to answer, a pair of eyes were crooked with a smile, and the pockets outside the two padded jackets covered by her hands were bulging, and they were about to be stretched open.
During the broadcast, they also came to buy, and the little couple in the first came to buy it three times, smiling and chatting together, and their feelings were much better.
A bag of melon seeds was only sold in the first half and then it was gone, and the people who didn't buy it shouted pity, and the ones who bought it secretly rejoiced, while enjoying the envious eyes of the people around them, while knocking on the melon seeds, smiling and watching movies.
The two packed their things and went home, with money in their pockets, and their steps became brisk.
