Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 140

Liu Ya packed ten copper coins, shook the small purse in her hand, and smiled at Liu Dacheng: "Father, I think this purse is a bit small. I will ask my eldest sister to make a bigger purse for me later." , every time I go out to get ten copper coins, I can bring you back a bag full of them."

"Silly girl, dad just hopes that you live a comfortable and happy life. Our family can also eat enough and wear warm clothes. I don't expect you to make a lot of money, so don't work hard on yourself." Liu Dacheng shook his head at Liu Ya Smiling, I felt full of comfort, but also full of distress.

Although it is always said that this girl has grown up, Ya'er is only eleven after all.How difficult it must be for such a young child to carry a family.

Liu Ya was looking forward to the warmth of family affection the most, but looking at Liu Dacheng's loving and self-blame eyes, she felt too sensational in her heart.Quickly tucked the small purse around her waist, and said, "Father, I'm leaving. Don't worry, I will take care of myself."

After speaking, he went out.She went to the yard to pull her small cart, and went straight out of the yard.

This small scooter is quite strong, it was knocked and beaten by Cang Qianche before, but now the wheels turn very smoothly, and it doesn't take much effort to pull it around.

Moreover, most of the roads to Lijiatun are mountain roads. Without a main road, horse-drawn carts and donkey carts cannot be used. I heard that even the narrowest place is not easy to walk with a cart. It is much easier to have such a small cart.

The car that Xiao Shuer installed was also carefully tied up with a hemp rope and fixed to the car board to prevent the things being pulled from falling off due to the rugged mountain road.

Liu Ya pulled such a small cart and walked towards Lijiatun.

Liu Ya originally intended to go to Lijiatun.Because she knew that although she had made some money, that money was not enough to do business at all.So if she wants to make a lot of money, she has to accumulate more.But to start accumulating from a small place, it is easier for her to find some business opportunities in these remote places.

The mountain road to Lijiatun is indeed not very easy to walk, sometimes passing through forests and sometimes crossing ditches.I also encountered a small Banqiao, the width of which can accommodate two people walking side by side.Liu Ya is pulling a small trolley which will be wide enough.

However, the scenery along the way is not bad, it is very leisurely, clean, the air is fresh, and there are birds and flowers.

Go straight through the path around the mountain, and Lijiatun is at the foot of the mountain on the other side of the mountain.At a glance, there are only dozens of families, most of which are low thatched houses, and there are also a few tile-roofed houses, but they are not made of green bricks, but built of stones.There are many stones in this mountain, and it is more cost-effective to use stones to build a house than to buy green bricks outside to build a house.

Liu Ya pulled the small cart and walked forward, crossed the stone bridge over the stream at the head of the village, and entered the village.

The village is small, but there are many people in the village.It is estimated that this Lijiatun is too close to the mountains, and it is not convenient to go out, so the villagers here bask in the sun and chat at the door of their houses when they are free, and they seem to be living comfortably.

When Liu Ya came here, she didn't go to Chunniu's house right away, but pulled the small cart and walked all the way in, wanting to see if there was any small business here.

Because Liu Ya is a foreigner, there are probably few people coming to such a small village, so some curious women came around and asked: "Little girl, are you here to find someone, to visit relatives?"

Another person looked at the small cart pulled by Liu Ya, there were still a lot of things on it, and asked, "Or, is it a small shopkeeper? Or a collector of mountain goods?"

Hearing someone questioning, Liu Ya raised her head and smiled, and said: "I also buy, sell, and exchange. I have some old things in this car. See if you need anything, and use it at a cheap price. Well, they are all good things, very affordable, and easier to use than new ones. If any of you have something you don’t need temporarily, you can exchange it with me, whether it’s for things or money.”

Hearing what Liu Ya said, the women around looked at the cart with fresh eyes and asked, "So it's a second-hand goods seller. What's there?"

In fact, poor families often buy and sell some old things, and they often exchange unused things with each other, which is convenient and economical.So when Liu Ya said this, there are still many people who are interested to take a look.

Taking advantage of someone asking, Liu Ya didn't go any further, so she found a clean place by the side of the road, untied the hemp rope from the cart, and laid out all the things.

In fact, Liu Ya didn't bring many things with her, just the old copper pots, wine jars and a set of cooking utensils that she picked up from the Ping'an Restaurant, and the most old curtains and tablecloths, but they were all very practical.

Liu Ya intends to sell all these things, but she also knows that if Lijiatun is too poor, there may not be cash transactions, so she can simply exchange them, because she just wants to see if there are any worthwhile things here, so she can exchange them and sell them back. a good price.

To put it bluntly, it is similar to those who collect old things in the streets and alleys, but there are also many people who receive old things that contain very good antiques and curios, which is called "picking up leaks".

As soon as Liu Ya put the things away, someone left.Because there is no need, there is no interest.Someone else asked Liu Ya: "Is there no face powder, rouge, etc.?" "Is there a small mirror?"

Some people asked about combs, and others asked about needles and threads. They really regarded Liu Ya's small stall as a salesman's stall.

Liu Ya smiled and said: "These things are not available now. I am not a peddler who walks around the streets. I just take out these unused things at home and replace them. It is best to exchange them for money. If not, exchange them for our household items." Go back with what you get, and save space.”

After speaking, Liu Ya pointed to the three wine jars and said: "This jar was originally used to hold wine, but it is clean. It is good to buy pickled vegetables and salted duck eggs. Otherwise, it can also be used to store rice. Those pots are all made of pure copper, which can be used to dry boiled water or make tea. Who doesn’t have a kettle? Besides, porcelain pots are easy to break, and this copper pot is shiny and shiny, like gold. That looks so grand."

As Liu Ya said, she squatted down and picked up a handful of sand from the ground, and rubbed vigorously at the bottom of the copper pot a few times, and the copper pot was wiped shiny.

Hearing what Liu Ya said, a woman was moved and asked, "My teapot just broke, and this copper pot looks pretty good, how much do you want to sell it for?"

"This..." Liu Ya thought for a while, afraid that the price would be too high, so she simply said: "This copper pot costs at least forty yuan if it is new. Although I have used this one, copper things are used It’s not damaged at all, but it’s brighter. Sister-in-law will sell it to you for fifteen cents.”

"Ah, a new clay pot is only fifteen yuan. You are an old one." But even though she said so, her eyes were still on the copper pot, and she didn't intend to go away.
