Farmer's Ruyi Manor

Chapter 59 Selling Water Chestnuts

"No, you are obviously not as tall or strong as me, so why do you call me elder sister and you call me elder brother. And I know more about it than you, so it's decided that you will call me elder brother from now on." This guy Bai Haoze is simply arguing.

Xiaohua rolled her eyes and didn't bother to pay attention to him.Suddenly, Xiaohua realized that both Bailuo and Bai Haoze could speak the language of the town and were familiar with the town, so she said, "Sister Luo, is this water chestnut delicious? I want to sell the water chestnut so that I can exchange some money for the family. You know Is this the best dress I’m wearing? My mother changed her best dress for me because I’m coming to town. My house is no match for yours. The wind blows in winter It’s very cold when it blows, it’s raining outside, and it’s also raining at home. My house doesn’t even have a wooden bucket for bathing. There is only one pot in the kitchen, and the water tank is a big wooden bucket that is about to break down. There is only a grandma with bad eyesight at home. , a two-year-old brother and a mother. Many of the bowls at home are broken, and there are less than 8 bowls in total. I wear straw sandals every day, or someone gave me. The cloth shoes I wear today are her clothes. I dismantled it and sewed it up for me. Some time ago, because my family was poor, my aunt in the lobby bullied my mother. I told her, and she beat me and knocked me out. My face was very swollen, and I owed medical expenses , I just paid it back a few days ago, and now there is nothing at home. My mother has to walk a long, long way to fetch water and wash clothes every day. I can’t get enough to eat every day, and I eat wild vegetables every day. I think If you want to make money, little sister Luo, you can take me to sell the water chestnuts."

Xiaohua said how pitiful she was, although what she said was true before.But in order to win the sympathy of Bai Luo and Bai Haoze, tears flowed down his cheeks. If he wanted to cry or not, he wanted Bai Luo to agree because of his sympathy.After all, she has more than a dozen taels of silver on her body now, but who would think that there is a lot of money? She still wants to make a fortune from water chestnuts, and find a long-term partner. She will be a supplier. After all, she still wants to grow water chestnuts .

After Bai Luo and Bai Haoze listened to what Xiao Hua said, especially Bai Luo, who was teary and had red eyes.Holding Xiao Hua said: "Xiao Hua, I never thought you were so pitiful, your family is so poor, it's okay. It will get better gradually in the future. After lunch in a while, Hao Ze and I will take you to sell the water chestnuts. Give your mother more subsidies to subsidize the family. Don't worry, I will help you."

Although Bai Haoze didn't cry, he didn't feel good looking at that expression. Hearing what his sister said, he gave a heavy "Yeah" to express his agreement.

After lunch, the three little fellows first poured out all the water chestnuts, washed them, and then sold them on the street with the water chestnuts and a bucket of water.

Bai Luo took Xiao Hua and her younger brother to the busiest place on the street, that is, places like Central Street.People come and go, all kinds of cries, and all kinds of languages ​​can be heard.It's a pity that Xiaohua is only half-aware of the town's language now.So I made an agreement with Bai Luo, let her come to sell, she will negotiate the price, and Bai Luo will be the interpreter.Bai Haoze was purely helping out as a coolie, Xiao Hua kept a catty for them at home, and the other three carried them out separately, and picked taro leaves from the yard of Bai Luo's house to wrap them.

"I'm selling water chestnuts. I'm selling water chestnuts. It's sweet and refreshing. Taste it first before you buy it. Come and buy it. Don't miss it when you pass by. There's only one of these water chestnuts, and there's no other one, even if you haven't tried it before." Bai Luo's voice Full and loud, it attracted many people in no time.

Seeing everyone nodding calmly at the white and tender water chestnuts but no one bought them, Bai Luo became a little anxious.Xiaohua looked at the crowd of people who joined in the fun, and knew in her heart that these people must have someone to take the lead, otherwise, it was just a crowd of onlookers, just joining in the fun.

Xiaohua looked at the crowd, there was a child wearing silk and satin, looking arrogant, she knew it was just a big sheep, so she tricked him into buying it first.So he turned his head and chatted with Bai Luo, and Bai Luo nodded.

"Brother, are you thirsty? Sister, let me give you something to eat first." Bai Luo asked Bai Haoze calmly at this moment.

Bai Haoze was at a loss, but he couldn't control that much, of course it was the best thing to eat water chestnuts, so he nodded vigorously.

Bai Luo gave one to Hao Ze, Hao Ze licked his lips, closed his eyes, and enjoyed it.I finished eating soon, so I said loudly: "It's delicious, sister, I want more."

In fact, from today Xiaohua knew that Bai Haoze was a typical foodie, and his eating habits gave people the feeling that this food was super delicious.Like the way he ate that water chestnut just now, he looked super enjoyment.

The onlookers saw that the child was fine after eating water chestnuts. Indeed, they had never seen this thing before, so they were a little curious.Just you and I asked how the water chestnuts were sold.

At this time, Xiao Hua looked angrily at the feeling that the child in silk and satin was about to be pushed outside.Everyone asked about the price, and it was already 20 coins. Most people thought it was expensive, so they left more than half of it. The rest of the people bought more or less.Only eight catties were sold around this time, and there were still about ten catties left. At this time, the child had already squeezed in.

"Young master, where are you, young master?" Hearing someone calling their young master at this moment, the satin child pouted and waved: "Laifu, I'm here."

Blessing?Xiaohua almost sprayed out, isn't that the dog's name?But seeing that the young master was not easy to mess with, he also took a few deep breaths secretly to calm down.

"Hey, how do you sell this thing?" With a high-ranking look, Xiao Hua was a little unhappy when she used this tone at a young age.It's just a big fat sheep, and Xiaohua feels sorry for herself if she doesn't slaughter it.Here, Bailuo just wanted to say twenty words.Xiao Hua leaned over and whispered to Bai Luo, Bai Luo looked at the boy and nodded.

"Fifty Wen a catty." Bai Luo replied.

"I just heard people say that twenty cents a catty, why do you need fifty cents for my young master now? Could it be that you are easy to cheat when you are my young master?" The little boy in silk and satin looked unhappy at me, you'd better give it to me. Be honest.

"Young master, you also know that ours is very rare. There is no such thing for sale in this town or the entire Qingzhou City. You must have never eaten it. Our water chestnuts are crunchy, sweet, refreshing, and juicy. You can eat them I still want to eat it. There are the last ten catties left, and I think the three of us will share it. But if you want it, I will reluctantly sell it to you. You know, there is no place to buy it if you have money." Bai Luo said for a while.

The young master of silk and satin frowned.Seeing the situation, Xiao Hua hurried forward to take a few, washed them with water and handed them to him, letting him try them first.

The young master in silk and satin took a bite, his eyes lit up instantly, he swallowed the remaining half, and asked: "How many catties are left, I want it all."

Xiaohua was waiting for this sentence, Big Fat Sheep, if it is not slaughtered, it is not for nothing, and if it is slaughtered, it will be for nothing, so Bailuo said: "Since the young master is so generous, then it is nearly ten catties, so let's calculate it according to 530 Wen. "
