Chapter 65
Wen Furong forgot to ask the price first, and when she saw something good, she wanted to agree immediately.

Chang Xi's mind was spinning fast, she took her time and asked her a question before her mother.

"I don't know what price the shopkeeper wants to receive the goods at?"

The shopkeeper took a deep look at Chang Xi, and felt that this girl was a good material for doing business.

"I'm planning to count by bucket, 80 cash for a large bucket, and 40 cash for a small bucket."

If ordinary villagers thought that they could earn 80 Wen with a little effort, they would definitely jump for joy, but Chang Xi frowned and shook his head.

"The size of the barrels varies from household to household. I find it difficult to measure. Why don't we use the method of calculating grain, one catty, one bucket, and one dendrobium."

"According to the method of measuring rice, six catties is one bucket, and five buckets is one dendrobium. How about fairness for everyone?"

Chang Xi's proposal is to completely block all the escape routes for those who want to cheat.

The shopkeeper's mention was also intentional, and the little girl's ability to respond exceeded his expectations.

The shopkeeper looked at Chang Xi in surprise, as if he felt that someone could inherit his mantle.

"Okay, do as you say."

"We'll give you money by catty!"

It is true that he can earn a few more pennies by the catty, and he agreed, which is the greatest affirmation of Chang Xi.

The shopkeeper was very happy that this trip was worthwhile, and he found a wonderful little girl. If she can be well trained, she will definitely become a big shopkeeper.

"My surname is Fang, you can call me Uncle Fang from now on."

The four children said in unison, "Hello, Uncle Fang!"

"Uncle Fang, can you sell your cicadas today?" Chang Le took the initiative to step forward with the wooden bucket, which contained the fruits of his labor just now.

How could the shopkeeper not bring money with him when he went out to buy goods.

He nodded happily: "Yes!"

Chang Ping's reaction was even faster, he immediately thought of other people, and rushed to inform other relatives and friends, and everyone caught up together.

After Chang Le's copper coins were settled, Chang Xi came forward with a basket of goat berries: "Uncle Fang, what do you do with the fruit? It tastes very good, you can try it."

"Maybe adults won't eat this food much, but it's best sold to children. There should be quite a few people who take children to restaurants, right?"

Chang Xi ordered it casually, and the shopkeeper Fang understood it in seconds. After tasting it, he thought it tasted better than the dried fruit shop in the town.

Chang Xi counted the 30 copper coins in his hands, so he left happily and went to Aunt Chang's house to announce the good news to her old man.

When someone goes out, someone goes in.

After a while, the Zhao family headed by Granny Zhao, Wang Lishi and Wang Chunyan's mother and daughter all came to sell cicadas because of the strength of the crowd.

Everyone counted by the catty and got a small sum of money, and everyone was smiling.

The shopkeeper also returned to the town with the cicadas and dried fruits that he had collected temporarily. Before leaving, he told them that he must sell the freshly caught that day, and a group of people nodded happily.

When the shadow of the shopkeeper's mule cart really disappeared on the country road, the Chang family was surrounded and praised.

Because it was Chang Ping who went out to inform, when everyone praised Chang Ping, he didn't forget to say that it was Xi Bao's credit. Gradually, everyone heard the whole story and gave Chang Le and Chang Xi a thumbs up.

"One of you dares to think, and the other dares to do it. You are worthy of twin brothers and sisters!"

Chang Le shook the back of her head and giggled.

Chang Xi lay shyly in her mother's arms, Wen Furong understood clearly, she didn't cock her tail because of praise, she said.

"Before it's too dark, let's go back quickly. Anyway, it's the slack time for farming. Go to bed early and get up early, and continue to catch cicadas tomorrow."

"Hey, good good!"

Everyone felt that what she said was reasonable, so they dispersed one after another.

On the second day, almost everyone who had good friends with the Zhao family and the Wang family knew about the arrest. Many people in the village benefited from the arrest and got a small amount of money. Everyone remembered the kindness of the Chang family.

The brothers and sisters of the Chang family were walking on the road. If they heard someone complimenting them, they would deliberately avoid it. Today, Chang Xi and Chang Leru.

They chose a sparsely populated path and came to the bank of a weeping willow embankment, who would have thought that someone would stop them with a loud voice.

Suddenly looking back, I found that the person who came was Fan Xiaoe and Fan Xiaodie, two sisters, they were twins born to the first housewife of the Fan family, and they were nine years old this year.

The relationship between these two and the original owner is complicated. Chang Fan's family doesn't live in the same direction, but they often meet on the way to climb the mountain.

The two sisters are not welcome at home, and their situation is similar to that of the original owner, that is, they are hard workers.

Whenever they met, the topic was nothing more than how the elders in the family persecuted them, and then they complained behind their backs.

What Chang Xi saw from the original owner's memory was round after round of competitions, and the original owner would inevitably participate in a few words.

"Oh, it's you."

Chang Xi's reaction was very flat, and the two approached with smiles.

"Yo, your younger brother is here, where are your older brothers?"

"at home."

Saying that, Chang Xi knelt down to pick up the cicadas, and the two sisters of the Fan family had no intention of leaving.

Because Fan Xiaodie crawled out of her mother's intestines late, she is a younger sister.Seeing Chang Xi's double buns tied with red strings, his eyes were so greedy.

She kept teasing her sister, they squatted down next to Chang Xi, one left and one right, and Fan Xiaoe started talking.

"I heard that your family has fertile land, is it true?"

Tian is already in his family's pocket, there is nothing to hide, Chang Xi nodded as usual: "Yes."

Unexpectedly, this slight nod made the two sisters exclaim again and again, complex colors flashed in their eyes, and envy and jealousy intertwined.

"Chang Xi, do you really have a field at home?"

"There is a field, why are you still picking bugs here?"

"I heard that the matter of catching cicadas and selling them for money has something to do with you?"

"What's the use of catching cicadas?"

"Eat it!" Chang Xi said awkwardly, squatting on the ground and taking small steps, after picking up one piece, he went to pick up another piece.

"Eat worms? Chang Xi, doesn't your family have pork?"

What Fan Xiao'e meant was, why eat worms when there is pork.

Chang Le was like a transparent person next to him, he didn't like them asking questions, and Chang Xi didn't like it either, but they had a good relationship with the original owner on the surface, so it was strange to walk away by themselves.

Chang Xi accelerated the speed of picking up cicadas, and when the small bucket was almost full, she stood up: "I should go home."

Said and Chang Le are ready to leave.

Hearing that she was leaving, Fan Xiaodie became anxious: "Hey, don't leave."

Chang Xi stopped and stared at her silently.

Fan Xiaodie bit the bullet and said: "Yes. Can you lend us your red headband?"

"Let's put it on!"

Fan Xiaodie made a pitiful hand-to-hand begging gesture, then directly reached out to Chang Xi, spread out her palms, and waited for Chang Xi to take the initiative to pull off the hairband for her.

Fan Xiao'e also had this idea, but she didn't have her sister to say it outright.

Being stared at by two pairs of eyes, Chang Xi's expression became a little ugly: "The things I use are not used to being touched by others."

"You guys want red strings, so you can go home." Suddenly remembering that the two of them were in a bad situation at home, they changed their rhetoric again.
