Travel through the farmhouse leisurely

Chapter 22 The Joy of Harvest (2)
Lin Xiaoqiao squatted aside, waiting for him to speak, and immediately stood up and replied: "Young master, this is called Fuguoer, it is a kind of fruit that we grow in our own house, try it, it tastes delicious. .” As he spoke, he peeled off a fuguo and handed it to the boy.

The young man didn't hesitate, he took it and chewed it in his mouth, but the boy next to him looked anxious and nervous, for fear that his master would eat something unclean.After a while, the boy felt quite satisfied with the food, so he stood up without asking the price and said, "Well, the taste is not bad, give me a few catties."

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoqiao was naturally very happy, and immediately asked Li Erhu beside him to weigh out five catties of Fuguo, wrapped it in oiled paper, and handed it to the boy next to him, and said excitedly: "Master, This is more than five catties of Fuguoer, fifty Wen per catty, the change is free, a total of 250 Wen, please eat well, and come back later."

The young man took the paper bag and asked the boy beside him to give the money, but he peeled the fuguo and ate it himself. The boy paid with two silver coins plus fifty Wen.So, the two swaggered again, ate Fuguoer leisurely, and went for a stroll.With the success of the first business, Lin Xiaoqiao's confidence returned immediately.It suddenly occurred to her that in her previous life, when many supermarkets were selling new foods, they would offer free tastings.So she asked Lin Xiaoxi and Li Erhu to peel about twenty or thirty Fuguo's and put them in the oil paper, and put them on top of the unpeeled ones.

Looking at the market full of people coming and going, Lin Xiaoqiao cleared his throat and shouted loudly: "Look, take a look, fresh and delicious Fuguoer, eat Fuguoer for a year of good luck .Those who pass by, don’t miss it, the fragrant and sweet Fuguoer.”

As she shouted in a crisp voice, many people immediately gathered in front of their stall, and maybe the young man was seen by many people as he ate and shopped all the way.Everyone was very curious about what this little brown plump fruit was, and they all pointed and discussed loudly.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xiaoqiao held the oiled paper bag and greeted loudly: "Everyone, take a look, take a look, this is a sweet and fragrant fruit, eating it can increase your luck. Brothers Big sisters, uncles and aunts can taste it for free."

Seeing her enthusiastic eyes, she didn't seem to be cheating, so many people took Fuguoer and tasted it for free. After tasting, they all nodded and thought it was delicious. Lin Xiaoqiao looked at the expressions of everyone and thought it was funny up.So he sold it more enthusiastically: "Everyone, uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters, this Fuguoer is the only one in this family, and there is no other family. If you eat it, you can prolong your life and increase your blessings."

After listening to her hard-working sales, everyone also felt that they had tasted her fruit, and they were embarrassed if they didn't buy some.So everyone inquired about the price one after another, and when they heard that it cost fifty Wen a catty, some waved their hands and left.Lin Xiaoqiao didn't force them all to buy, after all, the price was right here, so she continued to greet the remaining customers.Lin Xiaoqiao took a look, most of them were maids, people dressed as servants.

Most of these people bought one catty and left with two catties, and some people might not feel at ease and just tried to buy half a catty.Lin Xiaoqiao greeted them warmly, thinking of the copper coins pouring into his pocket one by one, he was so excited, don't mention how high it is.So there were three people in the group, Li Erhu weighed the children, Lin Xiaoxi packed the children, Lin Xiaoqiao was in charge of greeting the guests, and the Fuguo children in the box soon bottomed out.In less than an hour, all the Fuguoer they brought were sold out, and the three of them looked at the empty bamboo basket with joy on their faces.

Patting their bulging pockets, the three of them simply packed up their things, and happily embarked on their way home...

The three uncles and nephews all rushed home at brisk steps without stopping. Li Erhu had already praised Lin Xiaoqiao dozens of times along the way.Lin Xiaoxi is now almost to the point of admiration for her clever younger sister, and she is even more convinced.

The joyful mood made the three of them walk a quarter of an hour faster. Before they reached the small courtyard of the Li family, they saw their grandma Sun standing at the door anxiously watching from a distance.They walked a few steps quickly and came to Mrs. Sun. All three of them looked cheerful.Seeing the empty bamboo basket and the three smiling faces, Mrs. Sun felt confident and hurriedly beckoned the three of them to enter the house for a drink of water.

Walking into the main room, old man Li was weaving bamboo baskets. When he saw the four people coming in, he stopped his work and inquired about the result with his eyes.Before Lin Xiaoqiao could speak, Lin Xiaoxi said excitedly: "Grandma, grandpa, we sold a lot of money today."

Old man Li was also very happy to hear that, and Mrs. Sun also followed Lin Xiaoxi's words and said cheerfully: "Yes, I think the baskets are all empty, I guess they are all sold out, there should be more than a tael of silver. "

After listening to Mrs. Sun's words, the three of them looked at each other, all smiling and not speaking.Lin Xiaoqiao was even more pleased with what she heard. She took a big sip of water, took out her money bag and put it on the table.Mrs. Sun took the money bag, poured out all the money in it, and counted: "Old man, come and count, did I make a mistake in counting, why are there more than two liang?"

Old man Li came over, looked at the hills of copper plates and silver coins piled up on the table, counted them carefully, and then looked at the three of them suspiciously and said, "Yes, there are two, two, five coins, why are there so many silver coins?" Lie?"

Lin Xiaoqiao raised his eyebrows at his little uncle, motioning for him to speak.Li Erhu saw that Guanzi was almost sold, so he said to the elder: "Father, mother, this is all obtained by selling Fuguo. Our girl Xiaoqiao has set a price of fifty yuan a catty, and fifty catties are worth it." It was sold out, isn't it just two or five dollars."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Sun opened her eyes in disbelief, and shouted, "What? Fifty cents a catty? My God, this is enough to buy three catties of pork. Is there anyone willing to buy it?"

Li Erhu knew that his parents didn't believe it, and he didn't have any hope of selling it at such a high price at the beginning, so he said solemnly: "Yes, no one bought it at first, and then Xiaoqiao sold it at such a high price. The girl just yelled a few words, which made people feel comfortable, and then gave them some free tasting, so many people paid for it."

Old man Li was very surprised. He thought that the price he set himself yesterday was already very high, so he just sold it with the attitude of trying it out. If he can't sell it, he will lower the price.I didn't expect my little granddaughter to raise the price so much, and what's even more strange is that someone bought it at such a price.Once again, old man Li felt that his little granddaughter was really smart, it was really rare to be so smart at such a young age.

Faced with so much money, Mrs. Sun seemed very excited. Although it was only two or five dollars, it may not seem like much, but it was only a day's harvest.She happily hugged Lin Xiaoxi and sisters, and said happily: "Oh, these ladies are really lucky for us, grandma will reward you well today. Tell me, grandma will give you whatever you want to eat." You do it."
