Chapter 10 Xiao Huang, shall I tell you a story?
"Of course!"
Zhao Yu hooked his little finger and said seriously:
"Look, old man! As a big housekeeper, you are in charge of the Li Mansion up and down, and you are so careful in buying a load of firewood, not to mention in other aspects, how much silver does this have to save for the Li family! Also, you are well-dressed, exuding capability, at first glance, you are a shrewd and capable person, the Li family has you as a housekeeper, worry-free and comfortable! Isn't this the luck of the Li family? ”
"Good boy! Where did you learn these words? Could it be the old gentleman in your village again? ”
When the old man heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yes! How do you know? ”
Zhao Yu's face was innocent, and even because the old man guessed, there was a look of worship in his eyes.
Looking at Zhao Yu's innocence, the old man smiled dumbly, but his eyes were full of color.
If someone else praised him like this, the old man would disdain him.
But Zhao Yu said this, but he was very useful.
It is said that children's words are unscrupulous, what complicated thoughts will a child have? Naturally, you will say whatever you see.
Such innocent words are the truest words!
Zhao Yu saw the color in the old man's eyes, and knew that he was about the same temperature, so he suddenly pretended to think of something, and hurriedly said:
"Oh, yes! The old gentleman is the big housekeeper of the Li Mansion, don't you know that the Li Mansion still needs these bamboo weaving things? ”
"Huh?"
The old man subconsciously looked at a pile of bamboo products on the ground.
After a casual glance, the old man in a good mood nodded:
"Because of the drought, the Li family is going to open another canal on the side of the cultivated field, and they need to use a dustpan with a handle! Originally, I was going to buy it in a few days, but since you have it, then the old man will buy it by the way! It's just that the Li family needs five or six pairs of dustpans, and you only have two ......."
"Yes, yes!"
Hearing the old man's need, Zhao Yu hurriedly interrupted, and then shouted to the left and right:
"Uncle Ji Qiang, Uncle Shuisheng!"
"Huh! It's coming, it's coming! ”
Zhao Jiqiang and Zhao Yongsheng have been paying attention to this side, and when they heard Zhao Yu's shout, how could they not know what Zhao Yu meant? Immediately took the dustpan from his stall.
Both of them took two pairs of dustpans, plus two pairs of Zhao Yu's family, exactly six pairs of dustpans, a total of twelve.
"Look, old gentleman, it's exactly six pairs!"
Pointing to a pile of dustpans in front of him, Zhao Yu looked at the old man with blank eyes.
The old man immediately praised:
"Good boy, there is still affection and righteousness!"
"Of course! The old gentleman in our village taught us that we should help each other as human beings! ”
Zhao Yu raised his little head as it should.
"Good, good! That's a good sir! ”
The old man smiled and nodded, and then looked at Zhao Yongzhuo and the others:
"The old man doesn't put down your price, 20 yuan per pair of dustpans, how about it?"
"Yes, yes, thank you, big butler!"
Zhao Yongzhuo and the others nodded hurriedly, their faces full of joy.
Twenty dollars a pair of dustpans, not only did not reduce the price? That's high!
However, the old man is not short of this money, and he is in a good mood, so it doesn't matter if he gives one or two more pennies.
counted out the money and gave it to Zhao Yongzhuo and the others, and the old man looked at Zhao Yu again:
"Interesting boy!"
Finally, he smiled at Zhao Yu, and the old man turned around and left.
Behind, Zhao Yongzhuo and the three hurriedly packed up their things to keep up.
Because there were too many things, Zhao Shuisheng took the dustpan and Zhao Yongzhuo to the Li Mansion together, and asked Zhao Jiqiang to stay here and watch the stalls of the three families.
"Yu'er, remember to stay here and don't walk around!"
"Brother Ji Qiang, help me take care of Xiao Yu!"
Before leaving, Zhao Yongzhuo told Zhao Yu, and asked Zhao Jiqiang uneasily.
"Don't worry! I will be optimistic about Xiao Yu! ”
Zhao Jiqiang waved his hand at Zhao Yongzhuo.
After the two of them left with the old man, Zhao Jiqiang suddenly gave a thumbs up to Zhao Yu on the side:
"Xiao Yu is good!"
"Of course, I'm the smartest!"
Zhao Yu lifted his chin proudly, and then bent down to put his messy stall back in order.
"Yes, yes, Xiao Yu is the smartest! It's good that my side dishes are half as smart as yours! ”
After selling something, Zhao Jiqiang was very happy and nodded in agreement.
But then, Zhao Jiqiang thought of something again, and wondered:
"Xiao Yu, did the old gentleman teach you to count? Why haven't I heard my side dishes say? ”
Hearing this, Zhao Yu's eyes flickered, and he knew that he would be in trouble as soon as he inquired about this matter, straightened up, and said proudly:
"Of course the old gentleman didn't teach us this, I learned it from the old gentleman's book!"
"Tsk! I've heard that your kid knows a lot of words, and he can even learn this! ”
Zhao Jiqiang gave Zhao Yu a thumbs up again.
Zhao Yu learned words from the old gentleman and read books at his house, which is not a new thing in Zhaojiagou, and Zhao Jiqiang does not doubt him.
Seeing that he was confused, Zhao Yu pretended to be proud and raised his chin again, and then squatted on the ground again, looking around boredly.
But this time, Zhao Yu was attracted by a place.
Diagonally opposite the small temple on the left, under a willow tree there was a new vendor selling dogs.
In front of the dog stall, there were a few well-dressed children, teasing the puppies in the iron cage.
The owner of the dog stall was a generous man, and he was happy to see people join in the fun, and let the children do it.
And those puppies are chubby, and they are very cute.
Zhao Yu seemed to be cute by those puppies, and couldn't help but stand up and walk over there.
"Xiao Yu, what are you going to do?"
Zhao Jiqiang immediately stopped Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu pointed to the dog stall on the left, and said:
"Uncle Ji Qiang, those puppies are so cute, I want to go and see them, okay?"
Hearing this, Zhao Jiqiang turned his head to look at the dog stall over there.
Seeing that the dog stall was not far away, and he had the benefit of Zhao Yu just now, Zhao Jiqiang nodded after groaning slightly:
"It's okay to take a look, but don't run around!"
"Okay, thank you, Uncle Ji Qiang!"
Zhao Yu's face was full of excitement, and he ran over there quickly.
Zhao Jiqiang's eyes followed Zhao Yu and never left.
Over there.
After running to the dog stall, Zhao Yu, like other children, stretched his neck to look at the puppy in the iron cage.
There were five or six puppies inside, packed in three iron cages, stacked on top of each other.
Zhao Yu looked down from above.
Finally, he squatted on the ground and looked at a small yellow dog at the bottom.
Stretching out his finger and pointing at the little yellow dog's nose, Zhao Yu suddenly spoke:
"Xiao Huang! You're so cute, shall I tell you a story? ”
Saying that, Zhao Yu didn't wait for anyone to agree, so he began to speak:
"It is said that after the Tang monks and apprentices left Wuzhuang Temple, on this day, they came to a place called Baihuling, which is full of strange-shaped stones, and there is not even a single family."
"Tang Seng was hungry, so he asked Wukong to find something to eat, but as soon as Wukong left, Tang Seng and they were discovered by a monster called the White Bone Spirit......"
Zhao Yu directly started talking about three dozen white bone spirits, anyway, at this time, "Journey to the West" is already more popular, and he is not afraid that the little yellow dog will not understand.
He is full of emotion, using exaggerated techniques and fantasy fight scenes, and speaks passionately.
Moreover, Zhao Yu tried his best to highlight Sun Wukong's grievances and misunderstandings in the story, profoundly described Tang Seng's indistinguishability between good and evil, and worked hard to portray Zhu Bajie's laziness and playing with right and wrong, which filled the hatred value of the whole story, and the little yellow dog was stunned when he heard it.
After telling the story of the three dozen white bone spirits, Zhao Yu was afraid that the little yellow dog would be stupid, so he stopped.
But Zhao Yu stopped, but some people were not happy!
