Chapter 52

The stall owner, who was smiling before, immediately showed a embarrassed expression after hearing Yan Xiaosi's bargaining.

"Young master, it's not that I don't want to give you a discount, it's just that the bead flower is well made, the style is beautiful, and the purchase is more expensive."

Yan Xiaosi interrupted the stall owner, "Boss, I will not only buy one bead flower from you, I am going to buy three bead flowers like this, and I will also buy three embroidered silks. I buy so many things at once, you Let's see if we can give you some discounts."

I've been thinking about setting up a stall for a long time, but I haven't sold a single thing. The stall owner thought about it for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said to Yan Xiao: "The embroidered silk here is five hundred yuan a piece. If I buy three pearl flowers and three embroidered silks, I will give you some discounts and charge you four taels of silver."

Yan Xiaosi had already seen the price of goods in Xize County. After the stall owner finished speaking, she readily took out four taels of silver and handed it out.

"This style of pearl flowers, I want red, yellow, purple, please help me wrap the boss."

"Okay, okay."

The stall owner took the money with a smile, took a piece of rag, and wrapped the three bead flowers Yan Xiaosi picked.

Yan Xiaosi picked out three embroidered silks, took the beaded flowers from the stall owner, and then left, heading towards the place where Mrs. Zhong, Yan Shuqin and the others were selling firewood.

"It sells firewood, dry and flammable firewood, come and have a look, take a look."

In ancient times, every household was inseparable from firewood, so the firewood market was very lively, and Yan Xiaosi could hear the shouts of selling firewood from a distance.

In the innermost part of the firewood market, the mother and daughter of the Zhong family were also yelling vigorously, but the woman's voice was not as loud as the man's. The four of them yelled for a long time, but no one cared about the bundles of firewood in front of them.

Just when Zhong's mother and daughter were at a loss, Yan Xiaosi walked over carrying the burden.

"Mother, sisters, I'm back."

Seeing that Yan Xiaosi arrived unscathed, the Zhong mother and daughter all heaved a sigh of relief.

Zhong glanced at the bundle in her hand, and asked, "Xiaosi, are these clothes bought for Mr. Long?"

Yan Xiaosi nodded, and replied: "Yes, the price of goods in Daxing Town is really high. A piece of the most common silk clothes costs five taels of silver."

When it came to the prices, the mother and daughter of the Zhong family all looked solemn, especially the Zhong family. She glanced at the firewood piled in front of her, and her brows were wrinkled with worry.

Seeing that winter is coming soon, firewood can’t be sold, what can we do, especially in Nishizawa County, where prices are higher than other places, and we can’t make money before winter, so this winter will be sad.

Hearing Zhong Shi, Yan Shuqin and the others sigh, Yan Xiaosi bowed his head and counted the firewood piled on the ground, one, two, three, four, five, it was still five bundles of firewood.

"Mother, it's been so long, can't you sell a bundle of firewood!"

Yan Shuqin glanced at the market, took a step ahead of Mrs. Zhong, and answered Yan Xiaosi: "Winter is coming soon, and many woodcutters are busy earning money to survive the winter. There are many firewood sellers in this market." Of course, it won’t be easy to sell.”

Yan Shuyun bit her lips anxiously, "Mother, eldest sister, second sister, we can't sell our firewood, what should we do?"

Zhong thought for a while and said, "Mother has no choice but to sell these firewood for a cheap price."

It is not easy to bring these firewood to the market in Daxing Town, at least a few silver coins can be earned by selling it cheaply, which is much better than taking it back.

"Hey, isn't this the third sister-in-law, Qin'er, Xue'er, Yun'er and Xiaosi?"

Zhong Shi was discussing with the Yan Shuqin siblings when a somewhat mocking voice came over, interrupting Zhong Shi's words.

Yan Xiaosi followed the sound and saw a 30-year-old woman in red and green, accompanied by two young men, walking towards their position.

Although Yan Xiaosi came here through time travel, he recognized the woman walking up at a glance.

That woman is none other than Hu Chunni, the wife of her second uncle Yan Boshu.

According to the memory of the original owner, this second aunt is not a good person, she likes to gossip and tell tales in front of the elders of the Yan family.

Seeing Hu Shi, Mrs. Zhong's face became a little nervous. Seeing Mrs. Hu approaching, she hastily bent over slightly, and respectfully called her second sister-in-law.

"Second sister-in-law, you came to the firewood market yourself, are you here to buy firewood for Xiangmanlou?"

Grandpa Yan, Yan Boxian, has three sons. The eldest son, Yan Bozhang, has some knowledge and is now a teacher in the county government of Xize County. The second son, Yan Boshu, is very business-minded. He opened a restaurant in Daxing Town. The signboard name of the restaurant opened by Yan Boshu, the third son Yan Bowen was originally the most economical, but he was a short-lived ghost. After Yan Bowen died, Yan Bozhang, who was the master, and Yan Boshu, who opened the restaurant, were naturally valued by Mr. Yan.

When mentioning his own restaurant, Hu's face was even more arrogant, his eyes swept over the five of Zhong's, seeing that the five of them were sallow and emaciated, and their clothes were shabby, the sarcasm in their eyes became more intense.

"Yeah, there is no way. My restaurant's business is good, and the firewood is getting better. I have to buy some back every time I go to the market."

"Third brothers and sisters, the bundles of firewood in front of you can't be sold." Mrs. Hu turned her eyes and looked at the bundles of firewood in front of Mrs. Zhong.

Without waiting for Mrs. Zhong to say anything, she put on a compassionate face and said with a smile: "Well, for the sake of our relatives, you sell me these bundles of firewood, one, two, three, four, five, A total of five firewood, I will give you 25 Wen."

According to the market situation in Daxing Town, a bundle of firewood is worth ten renminbi, and five bundles of firewood can be sold for [-] renminbi no matter how bad it is. Mrs. Hu is clearly sure that the firewood in Mrs. Zhong's hands is not easy to sell and is helpless. , wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, but said so high-sounding.

Zhong Shi showed a face of embarrassment.

"Second sister-in-law, this."

She didn't want to sell the firewood that she and the children worked so hard to sell to Shi at such a low price, but she couldn't directly reject Hu Shi, and the embarrassment on her face was even stronger.

Mrs. Hu saw Mrs. Zhong's embarrassed expression, the smile on his face sank, and his tone became bitter and mean: "Third siblings, look at your expression, I am helping you with good intentions, if it is not for the death For the sake of the third child, I am too lazy to buy your firewood."

"Hehe, Second Auntie is truly a bodhisattva."

Yan Xiaosi gave Zhong a hand, and pulled Zhong behind her. Her hen guarded her cub and stood in front of Zhong, facing Hu with her head held high. Hu Shi was even more mean.

"Would you like my father to climb out of the grave to thank the second aunt for your kindness?"

Hu's expression changed, and he looked at Yan Xiaosi.
