Chapter 34 The price must be low

Faced with Guo Yuhua's obviously malicious inquiry, Chang Pingning covered the lid of the barrel with his hand and shrank back while holding the barrel.

"Aunt Yuhua, why are you asking about this?" Chang Pingning pretended not to understand Guo Yuhua's question, "Aren't all the people in our car going to town to sell seafood? Since you didn't let us sell sea urchins before, then we You have to sell some other seafood, right?”

"Ning Yatou, why are you telling her this?" Ye Xiuying glanced at the other villagers, with curious inquiry in their eyes, "Since Guo Yuhua originally wanted to eat the sea urchin business in the market and deliberately lowered the price, I guess now I also made a lot of money with the villagers.”

Originally, everyone just wanted to find out what Dayong's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were selling to make money recently, but they didn't expect to find out that the two of them were trying to make money: first, they accused them in disguise of stopping their sea urchin business, and then they ridiculed them for being unable to make money by cutting prices arbitrarily. money.

Guo Yuhua looked around and saw that no one on the oxcart was willing to stand up and speak for her. She could only glare at Ye Xiuying's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law angrily: "If you make money, you don't want to think about the villagers. You deserve the money you make."

This was almost a disguised attempt to smear Chang Pingning and Ye Xiuying, implying that part of the money they earned should actually belong to the villagers.

Ye Xiuying could not let her family be smeared like this, so she retorted sternly: "Guo Yuhua, you go out without your brains, you'd better go back and bring your brains with you before you talk. What do you mean, we two have money but don't think about the villagers?"
"Some time ago, the Liu family collected a lot of seafood from the village in order to hold a seafood banquet and a flowing banquet. In those days, did the people in the village make less money? There were also people who went to the beach to pick up seafood at noon. If I tell everyone, 'Don't pick it up' "Seafood, picking up sea urchins,' what would the Liu family think of our village? What would the village chief think of our family?"

Ye Xiuying's words made everyone lower their heads. Indeed, as Ye Xiuying said, if Ye Xiuying told them at that time that sea urchins could be sold at a high price in the town, they would not necessarily leave the Liu family's business of collecting seafood. Go to town and sell sea urchins.Not to mention anything else, some people think that the two-way oxcart fare is very expensive.

Chang Pingning didn't expect her mother-in-law's words to be so effective. Guo Yuhua originally wanted to argue a few more words, but the person next to her pulled her sleeves and signaled her to stop talking.

Next we went to town on the bullock cart and it was quiet.

No one asked again what kind of seafood Chang Pingning and Ye Xiuying brought to the town to sell.

However, the smell of seafood on the bullock cart was still strong, and everyone still covered their noses.

When they arrived in town, Chang Pingning got out of the car with her mother-in-law. The two of them walked in the opposite direction to everyone else as usual, towards the direction of Cyclamen.Others in Guojiacun walked towards the vegetable market.

Along the way, Chang Pingning carried the barrel in her hand. She didn't know if it was her imagination, but she always felt like someone was following her.Probably because he turned around to check too frequently, even my mother-in-law felt something was wrong.

"Girl Ning, what's wrong?" Ye Xiuying asked, looking in the direction of Chang Ping's head towards the street behind her.

Chang Pingning turned to look at her mother-in-law: "It's nothing, it feels like something is following us... I must have felt wrong."

"It's broad daylight, don't talk nonsense." Ye Xiuying waved her hand at Chang Pingning, "We're almost here at Xiankeli. There are the most people there."

However, Ye Xiuying took a few steps forward, stopped thoughtfully and looked back.

"Mom?" Chang Pingning thought her mother-in-law had discovered something.

"Don't scare yourself." Ye Xiuying said calmly, "We're almost there, the cyclamen is right in front."

Chang Pingning watched as her mother-in-law stepped forward and knocked on the door of Cyclamen's kitchen as usual.

The person who opened the door was still the errand boy they often met.

The errand boy in the restaurant saw the two of them and welcomed them in with a smile.

In this way, the two of them walked into the restaurant while running errands, one carrying a large bucket of scallops and the other carrying a common large bucket of seafood.Before entering the door, Chang Pingning once again felt something staring at him from behind. He turned around and looked back, but found nothing again.

On the contrary, it aroused the confusion of the restaurant errand boy: "What's wrong with Madam Guo?"

"It's nothing, I saw it wrong." Chang Pingning said, looking at his mother-in-law and the restaurant errands a little apologetically.

When the two of them walked out of the restaurant, the barrels in their hands looked much lighter than before they entered the house.

The two of them walked towards the market box where the town residents lived.

The restaurant was running errands to see the two ladies from the Guo family off, and when he was about to close the door and go back to the restaurant to do some work, he suddenly saw an unfamiliar country woman running out in front of him, leaning against the door, preventing him from closing the door.

"Little guy, I want to ask the two people who just left you, what did they give to your restaurant?" the woman asked flatteringly.

Cyclamen has seen a lot of people like this when running errands. People from nearby villages occasionally pick up some seafood and want to try their luck at their restaurant to see if they can sell it at a good price.

Aunt Guo followed this path at the beginning. Unexpectedly, she and her children would leave a good impression in front of Chef Wang and Shopkeeper Zhao because of "Sea Urchin Fried Rice" and "Sea Urchin".This errand boy always looked kindly to them every time he saw them.

Besides, when Aunt Guo came to deliver overseas goods before, she would also give them some benefits for running errands who opened the door.It was different from the woman in front of me who ran out of nowhere.

The restaurant errand boy thought so, unwilling to talk to the stranger in front of him.

"Make way, this door is not always open." said the restaurant errand boy. "If you want to eat, please go through the front door."

"Hey, what are you talking about, little guy! I'm here to discuss business with your restaurant..." The visitor was none other than Guo Yuhua, but she knew that her arrogant attitude was not helpful in selling seafood, so she quickly changed her mind. A flattering look.

"It's like this. I used to sell seafood in the vegetable market, but now the business is not doing well. I'm looking for other ways. The two people who left your restaurant earlier, no matter what they gave you Sea food. I can still deliver it, and the price is definitely lower than theirs.

"How about you take a look at the seafood I brought first? It's definitely no worse than the two people before." Guo Yuhua said, reaching out to lift the lid of the barrel.

The fishy smell of sea urchin rushed out from the barrel.

"Ugh...what's that? Go away!" The restaurant's errands have also received many vendors, and none of the vendors delivered stinky seafood.The restaurant runner covered his nose and prepared to shut out the door together with the smelly bucket of seafood.

Seeing this, Guo Yuhua hurriedly stopped in the middle of the door, took out a few copper coins from her arms and handed them to the errand boy in front of her.

"Please help me, brother, the price of my seafood must be lower than theirs. Otherwise, you can tell me what kind of seafood they send..."

The errand boy looked at the copper coins handed to him, stopped closing the door, and swallowed.

"Just tell you what kind of seafood they sent?"
