"Sister, sister, come on!"

Hua Shi had just come out of the house, and before anyone arrived, Hua Li ran excitedly, pulled her sleeve, and walked to the wooden cart.

Hua Yu and Hua Xiao stood behind, poking their heads out from a distance to look over there, their eyes attracted by the objects on the wooden cart.

"Girl, look at it, what's there?"

The old man lifted the half of the cloth that was covered with it, and said happily to the flowers.

Hua Li had already been lying on the side of the cart, with a pair of big eyes, full of curiosity and eagerness looking at the things on it.

"What is this?" Hua Li pointed to a square piece wrapped in butter paper and sniffed his nose, as if he smelled sugar.

"That's a brown sugar cake." As he spoke, the old man reached out and lifted the wrapped butter paper, revealing the neatly folded brown sugar cake inside.

After Hua Li saw something, his eyes lit up all of a sudden, swallowed his saliva, didn't speak, and turned his head to look at Hua Shi.

"Uncle, what's that? Can you show it to me? Hua Shi's eyes suddenly noticed that only a few things were exposed in the corners.

She looked familiar, red, with sharp corners, like millet peppers.

The old man looked at it, took the thing, and snorted: "It's not a valuable thing, little red pepper, eating spicy mouth and spicy tongue, but it can make people's hands and feet warm up, I push things to sell everywhere, and when I feel cold, I will nibble on two bites, and keep it refreshed." ”

As he spoke, he spread all the little red peppers in his hand, handed them to the flowers, and showed her, and said, "There are only a few left, if you want them, I will give you all the money." ”

There are indeed only a few left, maybe they have been wrapped for a long time, and the skin of the peppers is wrinkled, and it should have been picked for several days.

Hua Shi paused, looked at the things next to the cart, pointed to the chirping chicks in the bamboo cage, and said, "How many chicks are there?" ”

The old man fiddled with the wilting chili peppers in his hand before replying, "Eight, seven copper plates and one." ”

When Hua Xiao, who was not far behind him, heard this, he hurriedly trotted over, tugged on Huashi's sleeve, and whispered in a low voice: "It's expensive, the chickens sold by the aunt in the village are only five yuan, and he costs seven yuan." ”

Hua Xiao thought that her voice was low enough, but she didn't know that standing closer, the old man heard her words clearly, blew his beard and glared, and said unhappily:

"Little girl doesn't want to talk nonsense, I have pushed these things from all over the world, don't waste time and effort on foot, don't sell more than two pennies, how can I get back to my capital."

Hua Xiao cushioned her feet, and when she saw that she had heard all the words she said, she was not ashamed, and said, "You see that your chicks are all frozen and wilted, who knows if you can survive if you buy them, it's so expensive." ”

Hua Xiao didn't say this deliberately to lower the price, the little chick was pushed away for several days, although the weather was warmer, but for the fragile chicks, they were still choking and panicking, and the cries were all empty at this time, and several of them were still shrinking in the corner, as if there was no movement.

When the old man heard this, he was even more unhappy, and his good mood was all gone, frowning, and saying a little impatiently: "Okay, okay, if you don't buy it, I will go to the next one, don't waste my time." ”

As he spoke, he was about to pick up the things and push the cart away.

Hua Xiao stared, puffed out her cheeks, and was also very unhappy.

She was telling the truth, why didn't this old man want others to tell the truth......

"Hey, uncle, don't go, I didn't say no." When the flower is opened, he shouts to stop the person.

She had a little calculation in her heart, how could she not ......

She wanted to come to the little pepper for all, she went into the mountains several times, but she didn't see the wild pepper, and thought it was not at this time.

She vaguely remembered that the chili pepper seemed to have been introduced from outside, and she didn't know when this unknown dynasty was, and if not, it was probably normal.

Fang Cai saw him take it out at a glance, and his eyes flashed inconspicuously, but a penny is also money, and a guy with five or six roots is not worth spending money to buy.

"I want all eight chicks, and the one next to me is a hen that lays eggs, right? I want it too, take a look at the things on the side, you see that I bought so many things, give me a cheaper, okay? ”

Hua Shi said in one breath.

The old man's face was originally drooping, but after hearing Hua Shi's words, he raised his smile again, "This can't be cheap, but originally this bamboo basket was charged for a penny, but if you buy it all, I won't accept you." ”

He said with a smile, and it could be seen that his attitude was very tough, seven cents is seven cents, and it is impossible to be cheaper.

"This hen is well raised, and it can lay eggs for several years, and it will sell you for sixty dollars." The old man clicked on the bamboo cage and said.

Hua Xiao glared and shouted unhappily: "You are ten yuan expensive, and the old hen in our village is only fifty yuan!" ”

What a cunning man!

"You said it's an old hen, my hen can still lay eggs for a long time, of course it's more expensive."

Hua Xiao: "Is this more expensive for you?" It's ten pennies more expensive! ”

Ten cents is not a small amount of money!

Seeing that the old man's face was about to droop down again, Hua Shi opened his mouth and said, "Okay, sixty yuan is sixty yuan, but you have to give me the few little red peppers in your hand." ”

"Okay." The old man saw that she agreed happily, and he didn't hesitate much, so he agreed.

"It's a total of one hundred and sixteen dollars."

Hua Shi counted enough silver coins from the money bag, took the heavy copper plate, the old man smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth, handed over the two bamboo baskets, and gave the little red peppers by the way.

Hua Xiao was unsuccessful in bargaining, and she was very unhappy with a straight face.

Hua Shi asked Hua Xiao and Hua Li to hold the two bamboo baskets containing chickens, and then raised their eyes to look at the other things in the cart.

"Do you have any candy to sell here?" Asked when it took a flower.

"Yes, there are a lot of sugar bars, a hundred cents a piece."

…

A few minutes passed, and Hua Shi asked for ten sugar cubes, a large bag of soybeans, and the things next to it were all small snacks to eat, but she didn't look at it, so she didn't look at it carefully.

"Cut me five pieces of that brown sugar cake."

In the end, she didn't forget to ask the old man to cut five more pieces of brown sugar cake.

From the beginning to the present, Hua Li's eyes have never moved away from the eyes of the large piece of brown sugar cake.

It's just that I didn't mention it sensibly, and just looked at it like this.

If it was replaced by Xiaohuaying, it is estimated that she would have been clinging to her to buy it and eat it.

The little guy was taking a nap in the house and hadn't woken up yet.

Sure enough, as soon as Hua Shi's words came out, Hua Li's eyes lit up.

Hua Xiao opened her mouth a little distressed, trying to persuade Hua Shi not to waste the silver, and there were enough things to buy today, but when she saw that the old man cut out five pieces with his hands and feet, Hua Shi's hand to hand over the silver stretched out.

I had to shut up in pain......

The whole process, only Hua Yu stood on the side, watching not far and close, without saying a word, and when Hua Shi asked him to carry things, he came over and picked up the things.

Waiting for the old trader to hum a little song and slowly push things away, Hua Xiaocai stomped his feet, looked at Hua Shi with some unhappiness, and asked: "Why don't you negotiate with him, he sells it so expensive, what a waste of ......"

"That's right! How expensive! ”

Before Hua Shi could speak, a somewhat yin and yang strange words came from not far away.

The four sisters and brothers standing at the gate of the small courtyard of the Hua family all raised their eyes and looked over.

…
