Traveling through the mountains and fields to be leisurely

Chapter 8 I didn't see the wrong person

"Mother, this dish needs to be arranged nicely so that it can be sold at a good price."

"Isn't it just to buy a vegetable? Who would choose this?"

"Little hoe, stand here and don't move!"

Seeing her mother ignoring her, Lan Ling had no choice but to put the little hoe behind her mother, then walked to the stall, squatted down, and rearranged the dishes. The little hoe watched her sister work and came over to help, wood Tun followed suit, and after a while, he arranged the persimmons in a steeple shape, the cabbage in a row, the eggplant, pepper and cucumber in neat rows. Although there were not many things, they looked very Much more eye-catching.

"It's so pretty, it's red, green and green, it's attractive to look at."

The mother smiled and nodded, and the third aunt also echoed,

"Don't tell me, this is really beautiful."

"If it were me, with the same dish, I would buy it like this."

The uncle also jokingly said,
"It's our little basket who is smarter, look at how bright his mind is."

Let the aunt and the third aunt feel a little embarrassed, Lan Ling took the little hoe, and said to her mother,
"Mother, taking advantage of the fact that there are not many people now, I will take the little hoe for a stroll, not far away, and I will be back in a while."

"It's better to wait until the things are sold, and mother will accompany you two to go shopping. There will be more people in a while, so don't get separated."

"No, mother, don't worry, we will return when there are more people."

Seeing Lan Ling's insistence, my mother had no choice but to agree,
"Well, you can take care of your younger brother, but don't go far away."

"Don't worry, mother, I will take good care of my brother."

Lan Ling could only pretend not to see Mudun's envious eyes, and she wanted to do some tricks secretly. It is inconvenient to wear a small tail, but there is really no way for a small hoe.

I took a small hoe and walked into the market, and saw that it was as I imagined. Behind the stalls, there was a row of shops. Those shops should be open all year round. It is opened in the middle of the shops on both sides, which will not affect the business of the shop, but also attract some customers to the shop. There are all kinds of shops, ready-made clothes, daily groceries, and snacks in restaurants, but the shops are not very big. , it seems that this is not a rich area, the price should be relatively fair, Lan Ling only walked for a short distance, and saw a shop selling grain, Lan Ling immediately decided to go in and have a look, maybe there will be unexpected What about the harvest.

The grain shop looked clean and tidy from the outside, Lan Ling led a small hoe into it, and saw that there were really all kinds of grain, but Lan Ling just walked to the white noodles, pointed to the flour and asked the shopkeeper,
"Shopkeeper, how do you sell this flour?"

The storekeeper raised his head and saw the two children standing in front of him, wearing patched clothes, his eyes showed a bit of indifference, but he didn't speak ill at each other.
"This flour is very expensive, did you bring any money?"

"I'm just asking about the price."

"It's on the sign."

The store stopped paying attention to Lan Ling and the little hoe. Lan Ling also discovered at this time that there were signs hanging on the top of every kind of grain. How can there be a few people who can afford to go to school, who can write their own names, that would be very enviable. This makes people look at the sign, which means they are pushing people out, but the store doesn't know that this person who was kicked out by himself The little girl, after a few years, how did she regret it.

Lan Ling didn't care about the store's attitude, as long as he knew the current price of white noodles, he looked at the sign carefully. Although it was in traditional characters, he could still recognize it. In his previous life, Lan Ling didn't have many friends and was often alone, so I like reading books very much, and I have read a wide range of books. I occasionally read books in vertical print, but it’s okay to read. It’s a bit troublesome to write. I really can’t write it. However, I can understand it now. Now, look at the sign that says fourteen dollars, and then look at the prices on other brands. Cornmeal only costs three dollars, sorghum rice costs four dollars, and other types of rice don’t exceed five dollars. It’s more expensive, it costs ten dollars. No wonder I traveled to this house and only ate rice porridge for two meals. What about food?

Seeing Lan Ling and Xiao Hoe standing there looking at the sign, the shopkeeper just thought that the two children were watching the fun and didn't take it seriously. Seeing the two go out, he let out a sigh of relief, very worried about this. The two children who looked very poor stayed for a long time, which would hinder their own business, and he couldn't do anything to evict them. After all, he was from the village, and he was not a rough man. Lan Ling didn't know what the store was thinking. I know, at this time Lan Ling has already led the small hoe, and walked to a grain store again, this time Lan Ling learned how to behave, no longer asked the price, but looked at the brand by himself, but didn't want this store to come over enthusiastically,
"Kid, I want to buy food. What do you want to buy to go home?"

"Uncle, I would like to ask how the flour is sold."

Seeing someone coming to receive her, Lan Ling could only pretend not to understand the sign, and asked, pointing at the white face,

"Oh, this flour is thirteen cents a catty, how much do you want to weigh?"

The store didn't underestimate the two children because of their shabby clothes, and the price was more fair than that one, which made Lan Ling feel that the store was a trustworthy person, at least not one who exalts the high and tramples the low. The person who cooks is a real and honest businessman.

"Uncle, I have some white flour that I want to sell, but it hasn't been ground into flour yet, do you think you can accept it?"

"Oh, if you want to sell flour, yes, there is a mill behind my house, and I usually process flour for others, but, if you want to sell grain, has your lord come with you?"

Li Yongtai was really afraid that these were two children who stole the food from the family and sold it. It would be bad if there was a dispute.

"Uncle, my father has gone out to work. My mother is sick and needs money urgently. I have no choice but to sell food. Please help me collect it."

"That's it!"

Seeing that the little girl is thin and small, but her eyes are clear and pure, she really doesn't look like a bad child, and seeing the anxiety on the child's face, she can't help but nodded, believing the little girl's words.

"Okay then, where is your food? Can you get it? I can't leave here alone."

"It's easy to hold, Uncle. It's not far away. It's placed in the alley at the head of your house. Let someone help you watch it. I'll bring it here for you."

Thinking that the distance was really not very far, Li Yongtai didn't follow out. Lan Ling led the small hoe out of the grain shop and came to the front of the grain shop. This was the location Lan Ling had aimed at before coming in.
"Little hoe, help my sister to watch, don't let people in, and don't look back."

"Ah."

The little hoe obediently poked his head out of the alley, looking left and right, that clever little look was really cute, Lan Ling thought about the flour with his mind, and it really worked, the bag of wheat grains appeared in front of his eyes, which made him Lan Ling relaxed a lot, it was better than disappearing suddenly, if the little guy turned around, it would be nothing worse than that.

Wanting to carry the sack of wheat grains on his shoulders, but forgetting his small body, he had to call the little hoe to help. The little hoe looked at the flour sack that appeared out of nowhere in amazement, and asked in a trembling voice,
"Sister, where did this come from?"

"Don't worry about it, I'll tell you when the sale is over."

Little Hoe still believed in his sister, nodded his head and helped his sister work hard together, at least he dragged the bag of wheat grains to the door of the shop. Li Yongtai hurried over and helped the siblings carry the bag of noodles into the house.
"How do you want to sell it? Do you weigh it after grinding the dough, or weigh it now?"

"What do you think is the right way to sell it?"

Lan Ling really doesn't understand the sale of grain.

"Of course it's more appropriate to grind it into flour and sell it."

"Then grind it into flour and sell it, Uncle, you can figure it out."

"If you want to grind it into flour, you can't sell it today. Uncle has time to grind wheat at night."

I thought I could get the money today. Since I can't get the money now, I can't come to collect the money today. Lan Ling decided to trust this uncle once,
"Then put it here with Uncle first, and I'll come to get the money tomorrow. Uncle, do you think it's okay?"

"You can trust uncle, of course."

Li Yongtai has fallen in love with this generous and cheerful little girl,
"I'll send you a note, come and pick it up tomorrow."

Lan Ling couldn't help nodding when he heard the shopkeeper say to send a note, and sure enough, he didn't misunderstand the person.

"Uncle, I have something else I want to inquire about."

After explaining about the flour, Lan Ling was not in a hurry to leave. He finally met a kind-hearted person, but he was able to find out a lot of things. This opportunity should not be missed.
"What's the matter, as long as uncle knows, he will tell you."

"I also brought some vegetables. I want to ask Uncle, where is the nearest restaurant. I want to go and sell the vegetables. As you know, my mother is sick and is waiting for money."

Li Yongtai's curiosity about this little girl has increased again, not to mention anything else, but just now, a little girl from a poor family can understand the notes she typed, so Li Yongtai has to look at him differently, Li Yongtai Thinking secretly, this little girl is probably not a thing in the pool, maybe it is a down-and-out phoenix, even if it is not, the folks in this village will help if they can.

"Girl, there is a market outside here, why do you still go to restaurants to sell, besides, restaurants have regular sellers, and they won't just buy other people's vegetables."

Although he already wanted to reach out to help, Li Yongtai still wanted to understand the little girl's thoughts clearly. He always felt that the little girl's thoughts were unusual.
"Uncle, my father is a good farmer. The vegetables he grows are better than other people's, so the restaurant will definitely accept them. Besides, I don't have time to go to the market here. I want to go home and take care of my mother." Well, if they are sent to restaurants, they will be sold all at once, so it will save me a long time."

"What a ghost, I don't know why this little head is so long, heh..."

Li Yongtai chuckled lightly, and patted the little girl's shoulder affectionately.

"Seeing that you are still a filial person, uncle will help you. From here, walk to the head of the market, turn to the back street, cross two streets, and then turn left, you will see a three-story restaurant , I delivered food to them, the shopkeeper Meng of that restaurant is kind, and he should be able to help you, girl, go and try your luck."
