Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 143 Trading Books for Curtains

The woman was still reluctant to put down the curtain in her hand, and said with a smile: "It's what I like, and I want to buy two yuan to make a bed curtain. Like what you said, little girl, adding a curtain outside the bed in winter can make a lot of warmth. But this The price is a bit expensive, and I don’t have 35 cash left in my hand. Can you see if it can be cheaper?”

Liu Ya looked at those curtains, wishing to make them cheaper.But thinking about it again, the fabric width of this curtain is much larger than the tablecloth, they are all above six feet, and the material is also silk, with lace, it is really a beautiful curtain fabric.This kind of fabric can be bought at a cloth shop for more than 35 yuan a foot.Although hers is old, it only sells for [-] Wen for two yuan, which is really the cheapest.

Besides, if the price is lowered further, if others buy it, it will also be cheaper, so it is not worthwhile.

Liu Ya wanted to sell things to make money, but she didn't come all the way here to give benefits.If that was the case, she would have given away the things in Pingshan Village, and she could still get favors.

Thinking of this, Liu Ya shook her head and said: "Sister-in-law, this price really can't be lowered. To be honest, you have to spend some fares to go to the market. I delivered all the things to my door, and it's so cheap. But there is nowhere to look for it. Besides, my family is also poor, otherwise I wouldn’t be running around doing some small business. These things were bought with capital, and I can’t give them to you at a loss.”

Liu Ya's words made sense, and there was someone beside her who spoke for Liu Ya, "Yeah, the little girl looks like it's not easy, and she came here alone on the mountain road, and the things are all good, it's worth the price."

The woman sighed, and put down the curtain in her hand, it seemed that she really had no money to buy it.

Liu Ya also had a look of helplessness on her face, but she didn't take it too seriously.Pulling these things over is just to try their luck, she doesn't care too much if they sell more or less.Now it has exceeded her expectations, even if it is paid back.What's more, these things don't have a shelf life, even if they are taken back today, they may still be sold in other places after a while, so why rush it for a while.

Thinking of this, Liu Ya simply packed up and said, "Is there anyone else who wants to see something? If everyone looks at it and doesn't plan to buy anything, I will pack it up. I have something to do when I come to Lijiatun. It's better to come and find one." sister's."

As soon as Liu Ya said to close the stall, some people gathered around to take another look.But it seems that it is just those things, there is nothing new, and it will be scattered.

The woman who bought the copper pot walked a few steps with the copper pot, and then looked back at the curtain reluctantly, and she could see that she really wanted to buy it.

Liu Ya was a little funny when she saw her turn her head three times at a step.Then I asked again: "Sister-in-law, why don't you go home and see if there are any unused things to exchange? I don't only accept copper coins, if I like things in your house, we can exchange them. "

Hearing this, the woman's eyes lit up, as if she had thought of something, she hurried back and asked, "Little girl, I think you can talk, have you ever read?"

Liu Ya was startled, not knowing what the woman meant by asking this suddenly.But Liu Ya still nodded and said: "I just learned to read with my mother. Sister-in-law, what do you mean?"

"It's good to know how to read." The woman said happily: "I have a few books at home. They were given by the teacher of a school when my man was doing odd jobs in the town. It happened that I gave birth to my second child. Well, when the gentleman heard about it, he said that he would send some books as a congratulatory gift, hoping that our second boy could study and learn to read, and he would be successful in the future. But then the school moved away, and my man also went home. As for the few books Books, our whole family is illiterate, so what's the use of keeping them. If you are literate, little girl, see if you want this book, and I will exchange two curtains with you."

After the woman finished speaking, the people next to her laughed.Someone also gave Liu Ya some advice: "Little girl, you should think about it. Literacy and reading are not the same. No one can understand it. That book is useless."

After hearing this, the woman gave the man a hard look.

But Liu Ya smiled and said: "It's not impossible to exchange books, but sister-in-law, you have to show me the books. If it is a real poem, I will take it, but if you mistakenly take an account book as a book, I will Don't want other people's old ledgers."

Liu Ya's words were half joking, half serious.After all, there are many illiterate people, many of whom have never seen a book in their entire lives, and there are many who treat account books as books.

"No, no. That gentleman is very knowledgeable and nice. He has taught hundreds of students, so he won't fool us." The woman warned again: "I'll go back now. Bring the book over here, and you’ll know after reading it. Don’t leave, and those two curtains, the two I just looked at, are reserved for me.”

"Okay, I'll wait for you." After Liu Ya finished speaking, she picked out the two curtains that the woman had seen before, folded them and put them aside, and began to pack other things.

Just when the car was loaded and ready to be tied and fixed with hemp rope, another middle-aged man came, carrying a pole on his shoulder, with a big empty bamboo basket at one end.

Seeing that Liu Ya was already packing up, the middle-aged man asked, "Little girl, are you clearing up the stall? I just came back from the field and rushed over here. My mother-in-law said you have a set of cooking utensils here, are you here?" How did you sell it?"

"Yes." Liu Ya hurriedly put down the hemp rope in her hand, and turned the set of cooking utensils out from underneath.He laid them out one by one and said, "There are frying spoons, spatulas, colanders, and rice spoons. This is a set. Although they are a bit old, they are good and durable. Take a look first. Negotiate the price."

The man put down the shoulder pole, squatted on the ground and looked at them one by one.I also tapped the frying spoon with a spatula a few times, and listened to the sound to see if there were any invisible cracks in the frying spoon.

After beating and checking one by one, the man was quite satisfied.Then he asked Liu Yadao: "Little girl, it's a good thing. You can tell me a price. But if it's too expensive, I'll think about it again. To be honest, my family is going to marry a wife, and if I add someone to import it, I will have to eat alone. I will add a few more children in the future, and I just thought about buying a set of cooking utensils for the sake of auspiciousness."

Although Liu Ya doesn't understand these rules, she has heard that some people have to make new bowls and chopsticks every new year, and even when they marry a wife, they also need to buy kitchen things, which means that they want to live a prosperous life Figure auspicious.

Liu Ya looked at these things, and said: "Uncle, although the frying spoon is used, it is better if it is oiled, and it does not waste oil. These spatulas and colanders are also a set. No matter how they are together, it costs 180 essays."
