Xianggong came from the mountains

Chapter 22 Rue Liao, Boss Liao
It's just that the business is not good now, and she looks anxious at the crowds coming and going.

Zhu Xiaochang had already fallen asleep sitting on the side. She saw that Chu's and the old woman's sweet potatoes were selling well, but her business was poor. She wondered whether her price was too expensive.

Mrs. Chu took a moment to persuade her by tugging at her cuffs: "I see that Qinghe is not so expensive for you. Five cents a catty is a bit expensive, but sweet potatoes are only one penny a catty."

Xia Qinghe was a little shaken, she felt that she still had to try other methods.

It's just that before she started yelling, she saw Yuan Shi approaching.

Yuan Shi came over with a smile on her back carrying an empty backpack, very arrogant, covered her mouth and laughed when she walked in front of Chu Shi: "Who am I? I came to the market so early and nothing was sold. , That’s right, how does the little girl know how to sell things, I think this trip is not enough for the boat.”

Mrs. Chu frowned a little impatiently. Isn't it because the goods sold first need to be ostentatious: "Go, go, go as soon as you finish selling the goods, don't stand in the way of our business here." She said and glanced at Xia Qinghe, He wanted to see if Xia Qinghe was angry.

Xia Qinghe is not stupid, why didn't she know that Yuan Shi's words were aimed at her deliberately, she was a little upset because of business matters, Yuan Shi was still so sarcasm, even if she was very patient, she couldn't accept such a strange thing like Yuan Shi, it's really true When she is easy to bully, isn't it.

She sneered and said, "If you have an opinion on me, just say it directly. If you finish talking, you should leave quickly. What's the matter with you standing in front of my stall? Could it be that you still want to buy all my things?"

The clothes on Yuan's body were patched many times, and the padded jacket looked a bit bulky, probably because of the joy of selling out the items, Yuan's face was very rosy.

Yuan Shi didn't intend to leave, and stretched out her hand to wrap her hair in a bun. She arrived at the market a little later than Xia Qinghe, and she wandered around the vegetable market but couldn't find a suitable place. I bought all the sweet potatoes, otherwise she would have to find a place to carry a basket of sweet potatoes on her back.

I don't know why she doesn't like Xia Qinghe a little bit, but she was happy to see Xia Qinghe's misfortune, and said with a sneer, "If you say that, I really won't leave. Let me see what you can do."

After finishing speaking, she really stood there with her head up. She was standing on Chu's side, but she didn't block Xia Qinghe much, but she blocked Chu's business. A smaller sweet potato was thrown to Yuan Shi: "Get lost, don't stand in the way of my mother, don't you bother me, don't you have nothing to do all day?"

Yuan shi is in a good mood today because she wants to show off her prestige, so she naturally can't understand Chu shi, after all, Chu shi turned towards Xia Qinghe that night.

She patted the place where the sweet potato was hit just now, and the dust on it was wiped off. She bent down to pick up the sweet potato on the ground, and threw it into her back basket without any hassle.

Mrs. Chu rolled her eyes at Mrs. Yuan: "I'm warning you, hurry up and leave. If I don't sell out of sweet potatoes, it's all up to you. Be careful that I stay at your house every day for dinner."

Xia Qinghe tidied up his yams and took a deep breath. It seemed that he had to shout, otherwise this thing would not be sold.

She didn't look at Yuan Shi either, and let Yuan Shi stand on one side, it's good to stand here, if no one has guessed, it won't be able to attract people, after all, people are just here to join in the fun.

At the top of his voice, he began to yell: "Don't miss it when you pass by. Fresh yams are sold at a low price. The original price of five yuan a catty is now four yuan."

Frightened by Xia Qinghe's voice, Yuan Shi and Chu Shi quickly looked at Xia Qinghe, but they saw Xia Qinghe shouting harder.

Not to mention, this yelling really yelled at people.

A woman wearing a blue jacket with white flowers and a silver hairpin came over. The woman glanced at the yam on the ground and thought that the yam was very white and said, "Can this one be cheaper?"

The woman just glanced at the yam and then looked at Xia Qinghe, but she saw that Xia Qinghe was calm and unhurried. A girl of this age still has such courage. One must know that not everyone can yell.

Xia Qinghe was in a bit of a dilemma. She had suffered a lot in digging yams for the past two days. Wild yams mostly grew in the woods, and the ground was very hard. If she wanted to dig them out, she had to use her strength. Her hands had already blistered.

She stretched out her hand to show the woman a look, but she saw several big blisters on the palm of her hand, she was shocked when she saw it, she sighed and said: "Auntie's price can't be lowered, my family members all died when they met bandits. It’s just me and the silly brother behind me, if you want this yam, I’ll give you two handfuls of fungus, and I’ll give you a bunch of rock fungus over there.”

She was a little confused, and she didn't know whether the woman wanted to buy yams. After all, the price was so expensive that one catty of yams could eat several catties of sweet potatoes.

After she finished speaking, she kept looking at the woman's expression, but she saw that the woman squatted down and was particularly interested in the rock ear next to her. She picked up the fungus and compared it with the rock ear, but felt that the two had a similar look: "This is edible. Is it?" The woman lifted the rock ear and dangled it in front of Xia Qinghe.

Xia Qinghe nodded quickly and explained: "Of course it's edible. Soak it in water and wash off the silt. Whether it's stewed or stir-fried, it's delicious. It's especially good for the elderly."

The woman put the rock ear into the cloth bag and stood up: "Weigh all the yams for me, but I have too many things and you have to give them to me."

Sold out?Xia Qinghe was stunned for a moment, and then overjoyed, she quickly patted Zhu Xiaochang, who was soundly asleep, and said, "Get up."

The woman stood aside and watched Xia Qinghe quickly pack up her things. The yams weighed more than a dozen catties, and the fungus and rock fungus combined weighed about three or four catties. The rest was herbs. She came to the vegetable market mainly to sell yams, yams There is definitely no need to stay after selling, after all, both fungus and rock fungus can be stored.

Zhu Xiaochang rubbed his eyes and glanced naively at the yam in the basket and said, "Qinghe's stuff hasn't been sold yet, do you want to take me to eat steamed stuffed buns?"

Zhu Xiaochang's actions and words made the shopping woman sigh a little, and she looked at Xia Qinghe more softly.

Xia Qinghe first let Zhu Xiaochang carry the big pannier, then put on her own pannier, turned around to say goodbye to grandma Chu, and followed the woman out of the vegetable market regardless of Yuan's surprise.

There were still many people on the street, and the woman turned her head while walking, afraid that Xia Qinghe would lose her.

"What's the girl's last name?" The woman asked with a smile.

Xia Qinghe smiled gently and felt that the woman must be that kind of person: "Madam can call me Qinghe, I don't know Madam's last name."

The woman was still holding a bunch of vegetables in her hand, she stopped and waited until Xia Qinghe followed before she said, "My name is Liao Yunxiang, you can call me Boss Liao."
