Chapter 31 Know Yourself and Know Your Enemy

Fewer people came to them because the time for shopping and eating in the morning was over, and most of the rest of them came to the streets to watch the excitement or buy some novelty items, but isn't it almost noon?
The aroma of the noodle stall next to it became more and more intense. Xiaoxiao rubbed her stomach and decisively bought a bowl of noodles from the stall owner who was not yet busy, and asked for two small bowls shamelessly: "Uncle, wait until we earn money." Money, each of us buys two bowls, eats one bowl, and throws away... ahh, pack a bowl!"

They all came out of hard times, and the stall owner didn’t dislike them for buying too little, and even took the initiative to add half a spoonful of noodles. After the three brothers and sisters were half full with their own sour bamboo shoots, Xiaoxiao decided to spend a short time with her eldest brother. Abandoned the second brother, went to sell mother's embroidery.

Ning Erlang also wanted to go out for a stroll, but there was still a big jar and two small jars of sour bamboo shoots. He was reluctant to part with the copper coins he was about to get, so he bid farewell to his brothers and sisters in tears, and stood firm alone.

Xiaoxiao looked at Yi Shuihan on his face, and couldn't help complaining: "We're going to sell some embroidery, it's amazing for half an hour, second brother, what are you doing? At worst, let's go play together after selling the sour bamboo shoots Let's play."

Ning Erlang raised his head immediately: "Okay, I'll be back in half an hour, let's go shopping together after selling the sour bamboo shoots!"

It seemed to be a little different from what she said, but it seemed to be the same, Xiaoxiao perfunctory, bouncing and carrying the embroidery to the cloth shop.

Although she doesn't know embroidery, she can tell that Mrs. Song's needlework is very good, like the clothes worn by the eldest family are all torn, seamed and torn, but she can't tell from the appearance alone When encountering something really difficult to deal with, Song would embroider a simple pattern on the clothes. Hers were all kinds of small flowers, and those of her father and brothers were bamboo leaves and the like.

Don't brag, the embroidery, if you don't say it, no one can guess that it is to block the hole.

When she entered the cloth shop, she was not in a hurry to ask the price, but listened to other people selling embroidery with her elder brother. She said to her elder brother playfully: "This is called knowing yourself and knowing the enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles."

Ning Dalang followed her dotingly, standing by the countertop where the muslin cloth was placed.

For the matter of reading and practicing calligraphy, my younger brother is hopeless, but my younger sister still has some talent. It would be better if I don't make random sentences by myself on weekdays.

The one who is currently negotiating with the female shopkeeper is a woman in her fifties. There are all kinds of embroidery in her bamboo basket. It can be seen that they have been collected from various places. item, isn't that a good deal?"

The female shopkeeper casually picked up one piece from the basket: "We agreed on twelve coins, and we bought good embroidery. Look at these for yourself. The stitches are rough and the patterns are vulgar. How can they be worth twelve coins? Keep one piece of paper, or take it all away."

The mother-in-law frowned and made a good calculation in her heart, but she still kept the basket honestly.Each piece of embroidery earns two cents less, so it is a profit after all. If the transaction goes wrong, it will be a pure loss. Although she has never studied and can't settle accounts, she can still be clear about this.

After she left, the female shopkeeper turned her attention to the two of Xiaoxiao.To put it inappropriately, she didn't feel that these two children came to buy things, but she was always different from those snobs, so she still had a pleasant face: "What do you two little guests need?"

This gentle voice instantly won Xiaoxiao's favor, and she didn't hesitate, she said it directly: "Hi beautiful sister, we are here to sell embroidery for mother!"
