Gujing Town.

The market is located in the middle of the town.

When Fang Zhan and the others arrived, the market was already full of people, shouting for buying and selling, and making a commotion.

Fang Zhan searched and searched, and finally next to a woman selling meat, he finally squeezed out a little gap, arranged the bamboo baskets one by one, and then sat in the back.

That's the time to start trading.

It just made the woman who sold the meat roll her eyes for a while, and she muttered endlessly.

Fang Zhan was helpless, but there was no other way.

Li Xuanyi sat next to him, Shang Ke stood beside Li Xuanyi, pedestrians walked back and forth, no matter how you look at it, these three people don't look like they are here to sell bamboo baskets.

Occasionally, peasant women came to ask for the price, and Fang Zhan said, "A bamboo basket is ninety-nine wen." The woman's eyes widened: "Is your bamboo basket made of gold?"

Before Fang Zhan could speak, Li Xuanyi stood up, glared at him and said, "If you want to buy it, you can buy it, if you don't buy it, get out, what kind of cool words do you say!"

The woman was about to lose her temper immediately, but when she saw a dark face next to Li Xuanyi, she glared at herself angrily and said, "Yo!

Li Xuanyi squatted down and said with a smile: "Fang Zhan, let's not be angry with her! It's okay, someone dares to bully you and let Shang Ke tear him apart! ”

Shang Ke said: "Why don't you tear it?"

Li Xuanyi said with a smile: "Wen has Fang Zhan, Wu has a big black mule, quarrels belong to me!"

Fang Zhan said in a clumsy manner: "I'm here to do business, with the two of you, I don't think I can sell any of them!"

Li Xuanyi's eyebrows raised, almost to his forehead, and he stuck out his tongue again, sat down beside Fang Zhan, and said, "You sell well, we won't talk." ”

Time passed very quickly, and Fang Zhan was also very anxious, seeing that it was noon, none of them were sold.

Fang Zhan sat helplessly on the ground, although a few came to ask the price, but it was either too expensive, or too small, for all kinds of reasons, every buyer who said some gossip was scolded by Li Xuanyi, but Shang Ke stood beside him, as if he was black, but no one talked back to Li Xuanyi.

The woman who sold the meat rolled her eyes at every turn before, sneering, and when she saw Li Xuanyi's temper, she had already lost her voice, and she knew that it was better to keep her mouth shut.

Fang Zhan became more and more worried, thinking: "I don't know how my father usually sells it, it seems that I can't even sell a bamboo basket." ”

In the blink of an eye, it was almost noon, and the bazaar would disperse after a while, Fang Zhan sat there listlessly, just listening to Li Xuanyi taking Shang Ke to find fun.

At this time, I saw a little girl wearing a light yellow shirt, two ponytails on her head, and a face full of aura, walked over, glanced at the bamboo basket, and then at Fang Zhan, and said, "Isn't it usually the person with half of his face who is selling?"

When Fang Zhan heard this, he hurriedly stood up and said, "That's my father, girl, you want to buy a bamboo basket?"

The girl said, "I bought your bamboo basket, but I told your father that I wanted him to weave some fruit baskets for our house, but your father just didn't agree, and the price I gave was more expensive than the bamboo basket." His craft is so good, but he doesn't make this money, I don't know if you're interested?"

When Fang Zhan heard this, he was not interested, and said, "I won't, you ...... Do you want to buy a bamboo basket?"

The girl said, "All right, I'll buy them all, but you'll have to send them for me." ”

When Fang Zhan heard this, he immediately became excited, and hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I'll send it to you, but it's ......."

The girl said, "But what?"

Fang Zhan said: "This bamboo basket is a ...... Ninety-nine texts. ”

The girl smiled and said, "What should I be, it was originally a hundred Wen!"

Fang Zhan was stunned and said, "Ninety-nine texts." ”

The little girl smiled, her face was full of spring, and said, "Like your father, it's still ninety-nine." I want to give you one more article, but I don't want to, let's go!"

At this moment, even Shang Ke and Li Xuanyi were excited, and Li Xuanyi hurriedly said: "Let's go, we'll send it to you, where is your house?"

The girl said, "I bought your bamboo basket, you go back and talk to your father, see if you can make some fruit baskets for us." My wife has long been optimistic about your father's craftsmanship in weaving bamboo baskets, if you are willing to weave some fruit basket-like gadgets, Mrs. is happy, you don't have to set up a stall in the future, and you will definitely earn more than this by doing handicrafts in my house. ”

Li Xuanyi patted Fang Zhan on the side and shouted, "Fang Zhan, you want to get rich!"

Fang Zhan glared at her, and Li Xuanyi immediately pouted. Fang Zhan was afraid that this business would be ruined, so he replied vaguely: "Then I will go back and persuade me, I dare not guarantee whether it can be successful." ”

The girl nodded and said, "Then come with me!"

When the next exhibition stacked the bamboo baskets together and prepared to carry them on their backs, Li Xuanyi and Shang Ke snatched two of them and carried them on their backs first. In fact, although there are six bamboo baskets, they are smaller after all, and they are all light, even if Fang Zhan falls on his shoulders, they will not be heavy.

When the woman who sold the meat saw it, she rolled her eyes and said, "What a shit luck!"

Li Xuanyi had endured her for a long time, but because Fang Zhan still had to do business next to her, he kept holding back, and at this time, he could be regarded as seizing the opportunity and said: "Yes, yes, sitting next to the shit, it's not about shit luck!

When the woman saw it, Shang Ke stared at a pair of big eyes, and quickly shut up, not daring to say anything more.

But the girl smiled at the woman and asked, "What did you just say?

The woman was startled, covered her mouth, and hurriedly said: "Girl, I said the wrong thing, you don't care about the villain, my mouth really deserves to be beaten." He really slapped himself twice in the face.

The corners of the girl's mouth twitched slightly, and she said, "Forget it." "The first to walk out.

……

Fang Zhan and the three of them followed the little girl out of the market, walked out a short distance along the street, turned west, walked a little further, and came to a rather imposing mansion, someone walked down the steps, and said with a smile as they walked: "Sister Yanping, you are back, the house is lively, and Mrs. is looking for you." ”

The little girl's two caterpillar-like eyebrows moved, and she said, "What's the matter, someone is coming?"

The man said: "The little young master started to choose teachers again today, and a few came, all of them were all red from the little young master's questioning, haven't you seen it, the little young master is really powerful, and he is still asking." Madame asked you to take a look and inquire, but she never found you, so go quickly, or Madame will be angry. ”

Smoke screen nodded: "Got it." Then he said to the man, "The bamboo basket I bought today can be used to buy vegetables in the kitchen, and you can take them to put the bamboo basket away." He took out two pieces of broken silver from his arms, handed them to Fang Zhan, and said, "No need to look for them." You go back and take care of it, and then ask your father. ”

Fang Zhan took the silver, almost a tael, and said, "This is too much, I don't have so much to find for you, you better give me the copper plate!"

Yanping glanced at him and said, "Look at your face like a scholar, what's the matter, don't look for it!" After speaking, he walked inside.

Fang Zhan and the three of them glanced at each other, and Li Xuanyi said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go, you made a lot of money today." ”

At that moment, the three of them followed the man to the kitchen, put down the bamboo basket in turn, and when they were about to leave the door, they saw a Taoist priest striding out of the hall with a dust.

The Taoist priest chanted as he walked: "Qingshan sings and sings, and you win 100,000 gold." Floating life is like a dream, waking up a hundred years of soul. There is no wine in the cup, and there is a lot in the sleeve. The avenue goes to the sky, and the soles of your feet can grow clouds!" After speaking, he laughed.

Behind him, a middle-aged man bowed down and said, "Congratulations to the Immortal Chief." ”

When Fang Zhan and the three of them saw the Taoist priest passing by them, his face was full of red light, his eyebrows and beards were black and white, his eyes were as clear as ice, and he didn't have any evil spirit, so they couldn't help but feel good, and they stepped aside and let the Taoist go first.

The man glanced slightly, glanced at the three of them, seemed stunned, and then nodded kindly and walked by himself.

Fang Zhan was about to step out later, when he suddenly saw a shouting voice coming from the side hall next to the hall: "Look at what master you have found for me, still an old pedant, what a great Confucian, everyone." From today onwards, Hugh is going to find me another teacher!"

As soon as the words fell, I saw an eleven or twelve-year-old brocade-clothed boy rushing out of the side hall.

The middle-aged man who had just sent off the Taoist hurriedly went over, reached out to cover the young man's mouth, the young man in brocade flashed smartly, dodged it, and said with a smile: "Dad, let's say okay, don't find me any teacher from now on!"

The middle-aged man said: "Isn't it okay to say less?"

At this time, several old people came out of the side hall one after another, all holding books in their hands, blushing with shame, bowing their heads and shaking their heads, embarrassed and desperate to find a crack in the ground to get into.

The middle-aged man took a step forward, clenched his fists and said: "The kid is too stubborn, please ask a few people, don't be like him, Zhou Xian is here to make amends." ”

The old man at the front hurriedly waved his hands wildly and said, "Don't dare, cough, Ling Gongzi is young and well-read, I am really ashamed." Childe even "Nanshan Essays", "Wing Chun River", "Agricultural Knowledge", "Miscellaneous Records of Observations and Experiences", and even "Qiao Yu", "Like a Pen Ploughing the Mountain", "Mai in the Market", "Mulberry Weaving" These miscellaneous books that ordinary people are too lazy to read, are all inked in their chests, I don't have this ability to teach him, please find another master!"

The middle-aged man Zhou Xian shook his head helplessly, and said: "It is because he is too arrogant, I don't know that there are many strong people in this world, and I am afraid that he will suffer in the future, so I have to find a few people to discipline and restrain him. ”

The young man raised his voice and said, "I told you, don't find me any more teachers!"

Zhou Xian glared at him, but he didn't get angry, and said: "If there are a few better candidates, do me a favor! Today, a few people will never come in vain, and then prepare a little gift and send it to the house, which should also be regarded as reparation." ”

Another old man said, "There is no need for courtesy, I can't afford to wait, it's insulting!"

A few people were about to walk out, when they heard a spring-like voice say, "Don't look for it, it's right in front of you!"
