Chapter 8 You can't lose face if you lose anything
He Dashu waited for a long time in the market with his eldest son and little daughter, and he was a little panicked when he saw that the sun was sinking in the west and no one cared.
"It's okay," He Xiaoting comforted her cheap father, "If we can't sell it, we can eat it ourselves." ”
The family is as thin as skin and bones, and it is not bad to take care of the body first.
"That's not good," He Dashu disagreed, "where can I finish eating a lot of meat." ”
He Xiaoshan swallowed his saliva, "Actually, you can finish eating if you want to." ”
The meat is so delicious, he can't get tired of eating a few big bowls, and there are many people in the family, how can he not finish it.
It doesn't matter if you can sell it or not, it's not a loss anyway.
He Xiaoting gave a thumbs up, "Big brother is so smart!"
However, if the family needs money, if you can sell it, you should sell it as much as possible, and there are few people in the market, so go to the place where you need prey.
For example, restaurants.
"Hey, Sanya is quite reasonable," He Xiaoshan touched the back of his head and smiled innocently, "Why don't we take the prey and ask?"
He Dashu hesitated a little, "Only the business of Yingke Building and Baiwei Building in the town is better, but we are afraid that we will be kicked out." ”
"What are you afraid of, don't go through the front door," He Xiaoting said.
He Xiaoshan agreed, "Let's go knock on the corner door." ”
Generally speaking, the employees of the restaurant enter and exit from the corner door, and the people who deliver food and firewood also go through the corner door, so as not to have a bad image and affect the business of the restaurant.
"That's it," He Xiaoting contacted, "Dad is guarding here, and my eldest brother and I will take a wild goat to explore the way." ”
There are many prey and you can't bring them all, one is not easy to take, and the other is afraid that the restaurant shopkeeper will take the opportunity to lower the price.
Sell it in several places, or negotiate the price and send it over.
He Xiaoting is inclined to the former, after all, Qingshi Town is not big, and there are a number of people who go to the restaurant to eat every day, and in the summer, the restaurant can't eat more than seven wild goats.
"That's good," He Xiaoshan didn't have anything he shouldn't have.
"Can you do it?" He Dashu was not very relieved, "If Shanzi is here, I will accompany Sanya." ”
He Xiaoshan was anxious, "Dad, I've grown up, I can definitely do it." ”
He also wanted to take the opportunity to go to the restaurant to see it, even if it was just to stand outside the door and take a few looks.
It can only be said that teenagers will have curiosity no matter how honest they are.
"Big brother, don't worry, I'll take you there," He Xiaoting said with a smile, "There are a lot of prey here, and you have to let your father guard it." ”
"That's good," He Xiaoshan breathed a sigh of relief.
He Dashu was not satisfied, "Stinky boy, the person who is about to marry his daughter-in-law, his curiosity is still so heavy." ”
The eldest son has to set up a household, how to do it if he is unstable.
He Xiaoshan is embarrassed, he is fourteen years old, but he is not in a hurry to marry a daughter-in-law.
The most important thing is that the family is so poor that there are only three thatched huts, and he sleeps with his two younger brothers in one.
Not to mention that there is no money to marry a daughter-in-law, even if there is, there is no place to live after marrying.
Well, the more I think about it, the more sad I become, and I still don't want to.
Botou picked up a wild goat and beckoned to his sister, "Let's go, I'll take you to the welcome building first." ”
When he was twelve years old, He Xiaoshan followed his father He Dashu out to find work, and he was quite familiar with the town and could figure out the general direction.
The bazaar is in the south of the town, and most of the people who come and go are ordinary people, but the welcome building is open on the central street, and most of the people who come and go are rich or powerful, and they are dressed in shabby clothes, and the return rate is almost 100%.
He Xiaoting didn't care, they brought wild goats, it was a good thing to attract attention, maybe they could sell their prey without going into the restaurant to touch the nails.
I have to say, she is the truth.
No matter how small the town is, there are rich and idle gentlemen, don't eat and drink too freely every day, but they have a lot of monthly silver, and they have to ask the elders for it when they spend it.
Before they could find the welcome building, He Xiaoting's brothers and sisters were surrounded by gentlemen.
The young man in white held a folding fan and fanned the wind slowly, "This sheep is wild, how much silver is it sold?"
"Da Fei, you can't be too selfish," the young man in Tsing Yi had a slight peach blossom eye, "Those who see it have a share." ”
"Look at what you said," Shao Fei, the young man in white, said with a smile, "Meng Anhe, don't you know what it means to come first and then come?"
The two looked at each other, sparks flashing in their eyes, and they had a posture of doing something if they didn't agree.
Someone played a round, "Everyone is a friend, if you have something to say, this sheep is not small, you can buy it and share a point." ”
"No," Shao Fei refused, "I have a lot of family, and I don't have enough sheep to eat." ”
Meng Anhe raised his eyebrows, "Coincidentally, my family is like this." ”
The persuasion failed, and the young man who played the round was also angry, "The sheep is here, and it is impossible to swallow it alone." ”
It's time to show what you're capable of.
All the gentlemen looked at the He family brothers and sisters, "Say, who are you selling to?"
He Xiaoshan is an honest man, he has never seen a big scene, where dare to answer, and subconsciously look at his sister-in-law, "Sanya ......"
As soon as the words came out, he suddenly reacted, and he actually asked his six-year-old sister for help, isn't this a rush to the doctor!
Hurriedly shoved his sister behind him, and plucked up the courage to say, "A few young masters, please ask you to discuss it and buy it again." ”
I was too nervous and stammered when I spoke.
Brother Gongzi, "If I can discuss, I still need to ask you?"
He Xiaoshan didn't squeak, he really couldn't cope with the current situation, and he regretted it in his heart.
He is not stupid, he knows that no one in front of him can afford to offend, he knew that this was the case, it is better to take the meat back to his own house to eat as Xiaomei said, and save the dilemma.
"You and the eldest brother," He Xiaoting poked her little head out from the side, "You forgot how many of them are there in our father's house?"
"Yes, why didn't I forget this," He Xiaoshan patted his head, obviously there were so many prey, why didn't he think about it.
Shao Fei was stunned for a moment, and quickly grasped the point, "There is still prey, is it also a wild goat?"
"Yes, there are several wild goats, as well as rabbits and pheasants," He Xiaoting pretended to smile innocently, "My father is setting up a stall in the market, do you want to see it?"
The distance is a bit far, and it takes a lot of time for them to go back and forth, so it is better to bring people over directly.
Meng Anhe raised his lips and smiled, "The little girl thinks so beautifully, do we have to send your things to the door ourselves?"
"No, no, no," He Xiaoting shook her head like a rattle, "I asked you to go to the market to buy it, not to my house, you don't have to send it to the door, our family is poor, and we can't entertain you." ”
Meng Anhe, who was disgusted, didn't want to speak, and threw a knife at her.
"Ha, it turns out that you have today," Shao Fei was so excited that he almost hummed a song.
The surname Meng always loved to pretend and deceived many ignorant girls, but now he was disgusted by a five or six-year-old girl, which was miserable.
In view of this, Shao Fei was willing to go to the market.
"Changshun, hurry up and drive the carriage over, Young Master Ben is going to buy wild things. ”
As for the sheep at the foot of He Xiaoshan, let it be given to Meng An and Horn, who love to pretend!
"No need," Meng Anhe's expression remained unswerving, "Moshu, get ready, let's go to the market." ”
How can you just buy a wild goat, and you can't let go of pheasants and hares.
The point is, you can't lose face by losing anything!
