Big businessman and little fisherman
Chapter 134 Black Girl
Chapter 134 Black Girl
It's still early.
Lu Xiaosi and Chen Pingan walked side by side on the stone road in Jiangjiaba.
Today is the market, and there are vendors on both sides of the road, selling game, grain and rice, hand-woven reed mats, bamboo baskets, baskets, and home-made coarse cloth.
This is not bad, there are people who carry half a basket of wild vegetables, some who pick the wild fruit from the tree, or those who put half a bag of wild beans in a cloth bag and squat on the side of the road to sell them everywhere.
It doesn't matter whether they can sell it or not, eat it or not, as long as they can get it, they will bring it to the town. Maybe they can exchange it for three or two pennies if they are lucky.
Most of these people are refugees without land.
Because of the natural disasters in the past two years, they went all the way to the Huaihe River from various places, so the water area is vast and fertile, and some people are unwilling to go back here.
What to do when I go back, my family doesn’t have any land or houses, so even if I want to open up wasteland and cultivate land, I have to have money to buy seeds.
It's better to be here, anyway, you can get half full if you ask for food.
Not far away, Lu Yange saw a pile of orange-yellow wild persimmons in front of the two children.
The boy was about four or five years old, and he could tell that he was handsome through the black pot ash. Even though the clothes were ragged, he could still tell that the material of the clothes was not bad, and he must have lived a good life before.
The girl was about ten years old, with a small face that was also dark, and she was a pretty little black girl.
Lu Yangge couldn't help laughing when he saw the little black girl and her brother.
In fact, the little black girl had painted the pot bottom ash on her face before.
Because of inexperience, I just rubbed my hands on the bottom of the pot, and then touched my face randomly.
The face is smeared, but because the smearing is not careful enough and not even enough, it can be seen through at a glance.
Seeing the little black girl whose face was messed up, but whose neck was still tender and white, Lu Yange shook his head.
Did she remember to paint her neck?
It's been a while, I don't seem to remember.
Fortunately, Lu Yange doesn't need to wipe the bottom of the pot now. She has learned some beauty care in modern times, so she can find some things and tidy up casually.
It is not easy to be beautiful, but it is actually very easy to be ugly.
"How do you sell this persimmon?" Lu Yange squatted down in front of the little black girl.
The little black girl glanced timidly at Lu Yange, then at Chen Pingan standing behind her, her eyes were full of defense: "Eight for a penny."
The slender wild persimmons are not big, Lu Yange stretched out his hand, and he could probably grab three or five with one hand.
This kind of wild persimmon is actually nothing to eat. It looks good, but it is actually hard and astringent.
You can only take it off and let it sit for a while, until the skin and the inside become soft, take a small bite and suck out the juice inside, it is still very sweet.
Because it is small and has a nucleus, it can hardly eat anything.
This kind of wild persimmon tree is found on the mountain. If you are lucky, one tree can bear hundreds of them.Eight pennies a penny is not expensive, but it is not cheap either.
"too expensive."
Lu Yange's eyes fell on the ripe red persimmons, and there was a flash of inspiration in his eyes.
The little black girl hesitated for a moment: "Then, then ten pennies a penny."
Lu Yange took a half-green and half-yellow wild persimmon and asked, "Most of your wild persimmons are not yet ripe, what are you picking them for?"
"Just let it go, or bury it in the rice pile, and it will be eaten after a while." The little black girl was afraid that Lu Yange would not be sold, so she added, "It's also fine to use hot water that's hot to the touch, and it's fine to make bubbles at night."
In fact, there are many ways to make wild persimmons ripen, such as putting salt and sugar next to the persimmon pedicles, or spraying the whole body of persimmons with wine.
But these all cost money, and it is not rare for country people to eat these things if they are not hungry.Not to mention wasting sugar, salt and wine for this unappetizing thing.
"Brother Ping An." Lu Yange turned his head from the left, "Give me the basket."
Chen Pingan, who was standing behind Lu Yangge, came over, unloaded the basket and put it beside Lu Yangge.
The urn said in a low voice, "Xiao Si, you like to eat wild persimmons. If you like them, I'll find them for you. You don't need to buy them."
When he went out to cast the net, he seemed to have seen a few trees somewhere, but he didn't pay attention at the time.
Few people eat this food, if Xiao Si likes it, he will row a boat to find it.
It's too expensive to spend money on.
"No, I don't like to eat. This is for giving away."
Song Yunfei insisted on inviting her to dinner, she couldn't go there empty-handed, and just spent a few pennies to send him a bunch of small wild persimmons.
As for whether he wants it, likes it or not, she doesn't care.
Lu Yange also took off his small pannier, and handed it to the boy who had been hiding behind the little black girl, "Count it, I want it all."
Hearing that she was going to die, the boy's eyes were narrowed with joy, he wanted to reach out but still hesitantly glanced at the little black girl.
The little black girl bit her lip and nodded.
The boy squatted in front of the basket, and took them in one by one, counting while taking them.
Five or six-year-old children can count from one to dozens and hundreds, and they are not bad at all.
Lu Yange seemed to have numb legs and feet from squatting, squatting next to the little black girl, and asked in a low voice: "Can you pick some green persimmons for me, eight for a penny, if you send them to Xiaoxinzhuang in Happy Ridge, I will I’ll count six penny for you.”
The little black girl was obviously taken aback. She had never heard of anyone asking for green persimmons, so she hesitated for a moment before shaking her head slightly.
It's always good to earn money, she knows about Happy Ridge, but there doesn't seem to be any small Xinzhuang there.
"Why, don't you want to make money?"
Lu Yange was a little disappointed, she was so kind, and she was rejected just like that.
A total of 75 wild persimmons, Lu Yange took out his money bag and said, "I'll count ten cents for you."
The little black girl didn't expect the person in front of her to give more, she was stunned.
I thought it was a mistake.
Seeing that the little black girl didn't nod, Lu Yange laughed, counted out ten copper coins from the purse, and handed them to the little black girl.
"You count, and the green persimmons I mentioned. If you sell them, you can send them to Xiaoxin Village in Happy Ridge to find Lu Xiaosi. You can ask for as many as you want. If you can't find the way, you can ask others. Not too far."
The little black girl took the ten copper coins and hesitated for a while, then handed back three: "You miscalculated."
She has been selling this wild persimmon in the market for three days, let alone buying it, no one even saw it.
There is no more food in the house, she wants to find something else to sell, but she can't find anything else to sell except wild persimmons
"Buy the extra candy for your brother." Lu Yange didn't really want to bargain with her.
After taking back the three copper coins, the little black girl hesitated for a long time before shaking her head at Lu Yange, "I won't give them away. If you want them, come to the town to buy them."
"alright."
Lu Yange didn't seem to care, and said to Chen Pingan who was carrying the basket: "Brother Pingan, let's go."
Chen Pingan knew it was someone's treat, so he just hummed.
The two walked a few steps away, Lu Yange turned his head and saw the little black girl holding her brother's hand and still standing there.
This pair of sisters and brothers must have lived in a rich family, but it is a pity that somehow they ended up in Jiangjiaba.
Troubled times produce heroes, and in troubled times, human life is like grass.
