Pastoral affairs

But if you want to sell it for money, you can't save it here!

Cui Wei gritted her teeth, and simply asked the old man for ten feet.At the beginning, the little boy still refused to believe it, but when he saw her take out a silver peanut, his eyes widened. The old man didn't make a fuss, took out a ruler and measured a piece of cloth for her, and then did it himself. Cut it off, this thing is precious, and the old man didn't give her an extra inch and a half, but when he cut the satin for her, he saw the straw in Cui Wei's back, but he didn't hesitate to cut another half a foot The size of coarse cloth wraps this satin inside!

Such a large piece of cloth is enough to make new clothes for Cui Jingping. Cui Wei was also grateful to the old man in her heart, and picked up some needles and threads, and after paying all the money, she left the silk and satin workshop with a bag on her back.Two taels of silver were suddenly broken and exchanged for a large pile of copper coins. Fortunately, the old man probably knew that Cui Wei would not be able to leave with such a large amount of money, so he specially gave her one tael of broken silver ingots, and made up for her in addition. A large pile of copper coins with square holes was sent out to her.Cui Wei poured out more than half of the money and put it in the back strap, leaving about fifty or sixty cash in her waist pouch. In this way, no one would have thought that such a back strap would contain money. With so much money, she didn't arouse much suspicion when she pushed all the way to the east of the village.

A small noodle restaurant at the east end of the village is at the corner of the street. It was opened by a family surnamed Chen from Fengming Village next door. The Cao family of the Chen family sells noodles here on weekdays. Because Fengming Village and Xiaowan The villages are not far away, and people from the two villages have a lot of marriages and exchanges, and many people know each other.For hundreds of years, they would call each other relatives when they saw each other. When Cui Wei came over with her back on her back, Cui Jingping and the others were already standing outside the noodle shop. The noodle shop was deserted, so Cao took a stool and sat by the door Outside, a few little guys stood there looking at the fragrant noodles in the room, drooling.

"Third brother!" Cui Wei waved to Cui Jingping and the others from a distance, trotted a few steps to squeeze through the crowd, and walked towards this side: "Why don't you go in and have a seat?" Cui Jingping saw his younger sister coming.Heaving a sigh of relief, she hurriedly stepped forward to take the strap on her back. When she felt that it was more than a little empty, she froze for a moment: "Is this thing really sold?" Cui Wei nodded and wiped the bag. Sweating, Nie Qiuwen and the other two were also curious.Then they came over, these guys were holding dough figurines, candies and other things in their hands, and it seemed that they had spent most of the copper they earned before.

"Why don't you just sit down and wait outside?" The sun is out now, and it gets hot when there are too many people.Cui Wei wiped her forehead, and saw Cui Jingping's relieved face again.Feeling warm in my heart, I saw that there was no one in the noodle restaurant, and there were a few long stools at the door, so I said curiously.

"I don't eat noodles, so what's the point of sitting in it? You don't have to block my guests, so stand far away!" When Mrs. Cao heard this, she immediately frowned.He quickly waved his hand in disgust.When Cui Jingping heard this, he couldn't help it.Hastily said: "Aunt Chen, just stand there for a while, there is no one on your side, how can we stand in the way?" Cao's husband's family is the Chen family on the other side of Fengming Village, and Yang's younger sister married When I went to the Chen family in Fengming Village, the two families had a relationship with each other. Now Cui Jingping heard that Cao's words were merciless, so naturally he felt a little uncomfortable. I will also ask him to help, but I didn't expect that I just sat down today, but I am not happy.

"What do you mean there's no one here?" When Cao heard this, she immediately raised her brows, stood up with her hips akimbo, and was about to start scolding. When Cui Wei saw her like this, her brows frowned. Pulling Cui Jingping's sleeve, he said: "Third brother, let's go for a walk, anyway, I'm here too, I wonder if Uncle Jiang's roe deer is sold, I want to buy it!"

Cui Jingping originally wanted to argue with Mrs. Cao, but when he heard what his sister said, he immediately stopped talking and said in surprise: "Roe deer? That thing costs tens of pennies!" he said At the same time, Nie Qiuwen and others also complained: "Sister Cui, let's go around, the juggling just now was interesting, Cui San'er insisted on looking for you!" He only heard half of what Cui Wei said about going to play, Cui Wei saw that he was not happy, and even Wang Baoxue had some dissatisfaction on his face. I took a large handkerchief that I had picked up, and untied the knot on it, revealing the light green pastry inside!

Seeing this situation, several people almost drooled immediately, staring at the veil, even Mrs. Cao looked over, with greedy expressions on their faces.

"Third brother, you eat a piece first!" Cui Wei first gave Cui Jingping a piece of pastry, and at the same time gave Nie Er and Hou Zi a piece, and tied the rest up.Mrs. Cao, who was full of disdain just now, came over now with a face full of disdain, looked at Cui Wei's hand, and said with a smile: "Girl, your cousin Chen also likes to eat this food, how much do you give me?" Grab it!" After finishing speaking, he reached out and was about to come over to get it.

She was snobbish just now, but now she is so cheeky, Cui Wei stepped aside, tied up the pastry and put it in the bag, without even looking at Mrs. Cao, she tugged at Cui Jing Hands of equal people, a few people chatted and laughed and went to the street, leaving Mrs. Cao behind with angry teeth itching and cursing in their hearts!

On the way, Cui Wei recounted the matter of selling fungus silk by herself just now, but she kept an eye out and didn't say how much she sold. Although Cui Jingping loved her, he was a child after all, and Cui Wei was also afraid of it. He accidentally told Yang Shi that he slipped the tongue. As a person, Yang Shi would jump up and ask her to hand over the money when he heard two taels of silver. Cui Wei was not so stupid, so he only talked about selling things. , did not say how much money.Nie Qiuwen and the others were even more thoughtless. They ate the cakes and even licked the cake crumbs off their fingertips.

In their view, although these things are delicious, it is just a joke to ask how much they can sell for. At most, they can get dozens of coppers like them, which is not bad.These guys on the road are not safe, they have to go over to have a look at the stalls around them, and they even want to take a look at the rat poison sellers, Cui Wei is helpless, the people on the street gradually decrease, I don't know if the man surnamed Jiang has left. Seeing that Nie Qiuwen and others were still guarding the juggling stalls and didn't want to leave, they simply asked Cui Jingping to tear off their clothes and go forward!These two guys were enjoying watching, and were interrupted by Cui Jingping again and again, and now they finally turned their faces, complaining all the way:

"Cui San'er, you guys are getting more and more boring now, you don't even watch juggling, it's really boring to come to the town, and you just run around with your sister all day long!" Resentment, if you want the horse to run, you still have to feed the two horses.Cui Wei glanced around and saw a place selling slingshots, Nie Qiuwen and the two quickly couldn't move their eyes, and suddenly had an idea in their minds, so they were generous and asked the slingshot for a penny. The few people had eaten up all the money from selling snakes before, and Cui Wei bought one for each of them, which immediately made Nie Qiuwen and Nie Qiuwen look at her with gratitude and glory!

With the function of these slingshots, the two people were embarrassed to watch while walking. They just stroked the slingshots and wished they could try it once when they got home. Soon they arrived at the place where game was sold, the roe deer As expected, the man surnamed Jiang was still there, Cui Wei's eyes lit up, and she hurried forward to say hello: "Uncle Jiang, you are still here!"

Seeing these little guys came back again, the man surnamed Jiang who was about to collect his things and go back was stunned for a moment, with a smile on his face.He was lucky enough to get two roe deer, and he was very happy to be able to sell one for more than 70 Wen. Although it is a pity that there is only one left, he can earn dozens of Wen. He still has a smile on his face. When Wei came back, her movements stopped, and while beckoning to a few people to sit down, she said, "The girl Cui's things are sold?"

"It's all sold!" Cui Wei nodded, and looked at the corpse of the roe deer on the ground. The roe deer weighed about 30 kilograms. The one sold before was slightly larger, but I'm afraid it will take a long time to eat such a roe deer. Now, Cui Wei hasn't eaten wild game at such an age, so she immediately smiled and said: "Uncle, I won't sit down, I came here to buy this from you." After she finished speaking, she pointed to the roe deer on the ground. Hearing what she said, the man surnamed was stunned for a moment, a little in disbelief.Cui Wei still had no money just now, but now she dared to say that she wanted to buy his roe deer after selling things. It seems that those things sold for at least a few dozen coins just now.

He hesitated for a moment, although he felt that this was a bit like taking advantage of children, but the family really needed money, and this roe deer was a bit of a loss for himself, and this thing was full of bones and no meat, so rich people just wanted this novelty , the meat is delicious. In his opinion, it would be better to buy pork with money, and eat more happily. If you can pay a few dozen more money, the family situation will be better! Thinking of this, the man surnamed Jiang showed a smile on his face. With a trace of hesitation, he compared his fingers after a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, if you want, I will give you forty coins!"

This roe deer is about ten catties smaller than the one just now. The big one just now sold for more than 70 renminbi. Not to mention that the small one is thinner, and it is the last thing to be sold. Speaking of which, the man surnamed Jiang I also felt a little embarrassed, hesitated for a while, and then remembered that I had just eaten Cui Wei's food, and then lowered my voice: "Girl Cui, if you like it, just take it back for 35 Wen, and save me from having to carry it again." Take a walk!" 35 Wen can buy a lot of pork, and it's all clean meat, which is much better than this roe deer covered in bones. (To be continued.
