The growth of the eldest daughter-in-law of the farm gate

Chapter 21
Zhao Yunlan got up early in the morning to pack her things, and today she was going to take the Li family brothers and sisters to the town to sell baskets and wild mushrooms.

The main reason is that there are several baskets filled with mushrooms, bamboo shoots, eggs and fungus, and the brothers and sisters of the Li family can help to carry things together.Originally, the Wang family wanted to let Zhao Yunlan go to the village chief's house to pick up the ox cart for use, but Zhao Yunlan didn't want to bother the village chief anymore, and the second was that the business hadn't been completed yet and she didn't want to be too conspicuous.

Li Mingli carried a big back basket to hold the empty baskets, and Zhao Yunlan and the others each carried two baskets filled with vegetables.

Li Zhiming and Li Mingmei were very excited. They finally made a trip to the town, carrying their baskets in high spirits.

Zhao Yunlan carried Xiao Bao who was still asleep to the upper room, and Li Mingmei also made breakfast for old man Li Shi.The four set off while eating pancakes.

It was still daylight, and there were vaguely people like the Li family who went to the town to catch the morning market to sell things on the road.Everyone is carrying things in their hands and carrying baskets on their backs.

This time, Zhao Yunlan met the bullock cart from Dawang Village to the town again, which once again stimulated Zhao Yunlan's desire for carts.

By the time we reached the town, it was already daylight.People who went to the market also slowly gathered in the town.Zhao Yunlan found an empty place, arranged the things, and checked the wild mushrooms. Because they were well preserved and it wasn't too hot this day, they looked fresh.

Fortunately for Zhao Yunlan, there is no need to pay for stalls in the town. As long as it doesn't hinder traffic or affect other stall holders, it's fine after everyone discusses it. The officials who come down to patrol will not care.Qingshui Town has always been a simple and honest folklore, and there are very few incidents of grabbing stalls.

Zhao Yunlan told the three brothers and sisters about the price, the basket alone costs fifteen cents each, and if you want to buy those wild mushrooms, including the basket, a basket of wild mushrooms costs twenty cents.If you only buy wild mushrooms without a basket, it will be a basket of Bawen.Eggs are still two pennies each.Here are five baskets filled with fungus, mushrooms and bamboo shoots.At first, the three brothers and sisters thought that a bamboo basket could be worth the price of a catty of meat, and they were afraid that they would not be able to sell it. Zhao Yunlan just said, don't be afraid at this price.Everyone only listened to Zhao Yunlan's arrangement.

After the explanation, Zhao Yunlan started to yell. Li Mingli came to the town to do a few jobs, and he had developed his courage. Seeing that Zhao Yunlan could yell easily and easily, he also yelled "Look, look, look!" , fresh wild mushrooms are delicious and inexpensive, and the new bamboo flower baskets are light, exquisite and beautiful."

Since Li Zhizhi and Li Mingmei rarely came to town, they couldn't let go for a while, so they squatted beside them to guard their belongings.

The cries of the two gradually attracted some customers.It's just that when I asked about the price of the bamboo basket, I felt that it was a bit expensive.

Zhao Yunlan was not discouraged, after all, the flower basket was recognized, and the customers who passed by thought the flower basket was beautiful and convenient to hold.

Zhao Yunlan insisted on not changing the price, "Does this sister want to buy a bamboo flower basket?" Zhao Yunlan looked at the little girl in front of her in a fine cotton skirt with a silver hairpin on her head. Behind the little girl stood a big man in coarse cloth. girl.Guess what kind of lady it seems.The age is estimated to be eleven or twelve years old, but the eleven or twelve-year-old looks fuller than his own little sister.

"I want to buy some fungus, how do I sell this fungus." The little girl said
"If you don't want the basket, it's eight yuan, plus twenty yuan for the basket, our basket originally sold for fifteen yuan." Zhao Yunlan talked about the price.

"Oh~ put on the basket, these fungus are three pennies cheaper." The little girl said puzzled.

"Girl, you can also see that we have a lot of baskets here, and today we are mainly selling these flower baskets. If you buy flower baskets, these mountain products will be cheaper. My flower basket is also a style that is not on the market at present, and it is suitable for people like you. The little girl carried it. You can also pick some flowers and put them in a basket, and it will also have a special charm when hung on the porch."

I happened to pass by a rich man here, who loves to dance flowers and grow grass on weekdays. When he heard Zhao Yunlan's description of the flower baskets under the porch, he bought two flower baskets directly.This first order opened inexplicably.

"Miss, you need to put on the fungus." Zhao Yunlan continued to talk to the little girl, who smiled and said, "Hey, let's go with the basket! This basket is really cute, and it's wearing a head flower. It’s about the same as the flower on it.”

Li Mingmei smirked shyly at the side, Zhao Yunlan said: "Miss, you are joking, the hair flowers worn by farmers are not worth looking at."

"This flower looks very unique to me. I want these two baskets of fungus."

Zhao Yunlan took the forty Wen from the maid, and Li Mingmei gave the maid two baskets of fungus.

The brothers and sisters were all very excited. Four baskets were sold at once, and Zhao Yunlan felt relieved after collecting the money. If they could be sold, it meant there was still a market.

People came to inquire one after another, and Zhao Yunlan who didn't buy it was treated with courtesy, and Zhao Yunlan who bought it was even more caring.After standing for a whole morning, the bamboo baskets were almost sold out, and there were still five baskets left. Zhao Yunlan thought about her previous plan.

"You three brothers and sisters are watching the stall here. I'll buy buns for everyone. I'll be over in a while." Li Mingmei wanted to go with Zhao Yunlan, but Zhao Yunlan refused.Finally, there is evidence of independent action, which cannot be missed.

When Zhao Yunlan was choosing a seat in the morning, she deliberately chose a place a little further away from the bun shop, so that she could go to the bookstore near the bun shop to implement the plan.

Zhao Yunlan left alone and rushed to the bookstore. She stayed there for a while. She just wanted to impress the bookstore owner that she had been here before, but she was really attracted by a book about the customs and customs of various places in Jiaxiang.

The boss was also surprised that a woman dressed as a peasant could read.Zhao Yunlan was even more surprised when she asked about the price of the book, which is [-] Wen.Zhao Yunlan thought to herself, the boss could have robbed the money, but he still gave a book honestly.

Zhao Yunlan put the book back silently, she can only talk about it when she has money.Now that food and clothing have not been completely resolved, don't think about this spiritual food.

Zhao Yunlan left the bookstore, went to the bun shop and bought four vegetable buns, and returned to the stall with four Zamian steamed buns.

"Sister-in-law, I just sold two more." Li Mingzhi said excitedly.

"Everyone is hungry, come here to rest for a while, and eat the buns." Zhao Yunlan called the children to sit down and eat the buns.

Li Mingli and Li Zhiming happily took the buns and started eating. Li Mingmei hesitated for a while and said, "Sister-in-law, save this bun for Xiaobao. I can eat a steamed bun."

Zhao Yunlan thought to herself, she wanted to buy meat buns at first, but she was afraid that they would be so modest, so she didn't expect to eat a vegetable bun and want to keep it home.When the two boys heard what Li Mingmei said, they immediately stopped talking.

"Everyone, eat at ease. You've been busy all morning and you'll be starving. We'll buy some meat and eat together when we sell the baskets." Zhao Yunlan persuaded the three brothers and sisters, and Li Mingmei began to eat happily.It has been a long time since I have eaten steamed buns with thin bread. Even without meat, the three brothers and sisters are very satisfied.Zhao Yunlan looked at the Li family brothers and sisters and couldn't help showing a gratified expression.

Zhao Yunlan didn't expect that all the baskets were sold. She thought that the last three baskets would be carried home, but a mother-in-law who just needed the baskets bought them all.

Zhao Yunlan went to the pork stall of Uncle Li's eldest son in the town and bought a catty of pork belly and a catty of fat meat. She also went to the grocery store to buy some seasonings and half a catty of fine salt. Almost finished eating, Zhao Yunlan planned to buy fine salt to eat this time. After buying everything, the four of Zhao Yunlan went out of the market and went home.Originally, Li Mingli planned to visit Li Mingyi, but seeing that it was getting late, he didn't go there.
