Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 54 Comparison
When the three of them returned home, Shi Yu was looking out anxiously. Seeing Mai Xiang enter the door, she grabbed Qiao Hong and began to question her.

"Mommy, I can't do this, they are all men, how can I talk to them?" Zhao Qiaohong was a little ashamed.

Yu Shi looked at Mai Xiang.

"Grandma, today we are going to sell grass, and this grass can only be sold to those who look at horses and carriages, aren't they all men?" Mai Xiang said.

"Can the grass still be sold?" Yu felt that it was fresh again.

"Yes, aren't there many people who come to the temple to drive carriages and ride horses? Shouldn't the horses have something to eat?"

"How much can you sell for that basket of green grass?"

"Maybe that's true. I've sold Er Wen and Shi Wen. It depends on whether they are happy or generous." After finishing speaking, Mai Xiang went to find Ye Dafu to make a kite. Draw and color.

After explaining to Ye Dafu, Mai Xiang wanted to see if Wu Fu was there. She wanted to buy Wu Fu's kite and paint it herself and sell it. This would definitely be better than selling Wu Fu himself. I want to give Wufu a hand.

"Da Ya, Da Ya, come here." As soon as Mai Xiang went out, she saw Mrs. Sun standing on her threshold waving to herself.

"Third Aunt, what's the matter?"

"Come on, big girl, you just came back from outside, have a snack." Sun took out the snack box.

"No need for Third Aunt, keep it for Mai Miao."

"You child, you still have to see your third aunt." Mrs. Sun pulled Mai Xiang to sit on the kang.

"What are your cousin and your grandma here for?" Mrs. Sun began to say.

How did Mai Xiang know that when Sun saw Yu bringing Qiaohong into the door, thinking of what happened yesterday, it must be that Mai Xiang had some new way to make money, so she sent Mai Miao to eavesdrop for a long time, but she didn't know that Mai Miao didn't know how to make money. Incomplete, I only know that Mai Xiang took Zhao Qiaohong to the Temple of the Reclining Buddha.

Mrs. Sun has always been careful. She thought about it these days, and felt that Mai Xiang's money should be more than the money she earned. After all, the Ye family's family property is here, and Wufu, Bafu, and Jiufeng are not married. It is impossible for the Liu family to hand over the entire family property to Ye Dafu, and it is obvious to all that Mai Xiang carries things to the Reclining Buddha Temple to sell them almost every day.

And the Zhao family also knew that Mai Xiang could make money, so they sent the child here, and let Mai Xiang take the child to learn how to make money. After Sun figured out this section, he called Mai Xiang in to ask.

"Third Aunt, my cousin is here to have fun, so I won't let me take her around the Temple of the Reclining Buddha."

"Auntie, the third aunt has something to discuss with you. The third aunt will take the wheat seedlings at home. Your third uncle will go to work in the field during the day. If he has some free time, he will pull a donkey cart or something. How can there be time to go?" He can’t make a few kites for sale, why don’t you sell them for him after he finishes them, and you can give us [-] yuan a kite, and the more you sell will be your hard work.”

Mrs. Sun had inquired a long time ago that an ordinary kite can only be sold for three or four hundred yuan at most, and the difference is only one or two hundred or even one hundred and eighty yuan. Those kites that are five or six hundred yuan or even more expensive are all Those played by rich families are made of silk or silk.A kite like Ye Dafu's can only cost two or three hundred Wen when it is taken outside.

She believed that the kite that Mai Xiang sold must have had an adventure, met a fool from a rich family, because she saw Mai Xiang dealing with those ladies in the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, and sold it to them if it was not complete, so she That's why he wants to take the ride of Mai Xiang.

After hearing this, Mai Xiang couldn't help but admire Sun's quick thinking. Just as she thought of buying Wufu's kite, Sun thought of selling the kite to her.

"Third Aunt, I don't need three hundred coins, I will sell them to you for two hundred coins each, and you will sell them for me." Mai Xiang replied with a smile.

"You child, didn't you say that you can sell the most expensive one for a tael of silver? I carry wheat seedlings every day, and I can't leave the house. How can I have the time to sell this?" Sun smiled sarcastically.

"Third Aunt, you don't have time. When my Third Uncle pulls the donkey cart, don't you just send it to the kite shop in the street?"

"Look at you child, your third aunt begged you for this matter, and you still don't agree?"

"Third Aunt, to be honest, I'm really not sure about the price of this kite. I sold it for a tael of silver, but I also sold it for a hundred yuan. I'm not even sure if I can sell it. , How dare I take your goods? Not to mention that you demand such a high price." Mai Xiang directly refused.

After listening to Mai Xiang's words, Mrs. Sun stared at Mai Xiang for a long time and said, "Big girl, why do I feel that you seem to be a different person since you recovered from your illness?"

Looking at Mai Xiang in front of her, Sun felt strange, and when she heard the words that came out of her mouth, she felt even more strange.

"Third Aunt, if you are seriously ill and you can only lie down and wait to die because you have no money, you will know how important this money is, and you will know that you must find a way to earn money."

Mrs. Sun knew that Mai Xiang was telling the truth. In fact, it wasn't that the family at that time couldn't come up with a little money, but because they were reluctant to take it out, thinking that Mai Xiang would be like her family's wheat leaves. Bai Zhi, asking for sex is a waste of money.

Later, Ye Dafu quit, he had to find Cao Xueqin, and prescribed some medicine for Mai Xiang, before the fever subsided.

Of course, Mrs. Sun could not say these words to Mai Xiang, because she was one of the people who disapproved of spending money on medical treatment for Mai Xiang at that time.

Mai Xiang was talking with Mrs. Sun, while Qiaohong learned about her experience at the Reclining Buddha Temple with Mrs. Yu.

"Didn't you say to see the lady's wife? Why are they all coachmen?" Mrs. Yu was not happy.

"Mother-in-law, Da Ya said that she is going to sell green grass. Ladies, who would want green grass? When I was selling flower baskets a while ago, I was looking for a young lady." Ye Dafu couldn't hear Yu's complaint about Mai Xiang, so he defended a few words.

"Mommy, what should I do?" Qiaohong asked.

"Stay here first, and tomorrow I will ask Da Ya to take you to meet the lady of a rich family." Yu's plan in her heart was to let Mai Xiang bring Qiaohong to meet Ge Ge, but it was difficult for her to say so in front of Ye Dafu. .

"Grandma, those young masters and ladies from rich families are not so easy to get to know. My cousin was almost beaten today." Mai Huang still remembers the first time he went to sell wall shoes and was beaten for saying the wrong thing.

"Ah, what's going on? Please explain in detail." Upon hearing this, Yu Shi pulled Qiaohong up and down to look her up and down.

Mai Xiang came out from Sun's and went to the upper room. Ye Tiezhu was resting at home for lunch, and Wu Fu was sharpening his knife. He said that he would take Ba Fu to the mountain to chop firewood in the morning, because the work in the field had just been done, and there would be two days. null.

"Uncle Wu, I'm going too, when will I leave tomorrow?" What Mai Xiang wanted was to go to the mountains to find something that could be sold for money.

"Da Ya, what kind of firewood are you going to chop as a girl? Uncle Wu promised you a long time ago. I will take care of the firewood for your family."

"That's right, Da Ya, and me, I will also help Fifth Brother. By the way, do you have anything to do with us?" Bafu asked.

"Don't tell me, I've forgotten. Uncle Wu is very handy. Let's make more kites in your free time. I'll sell them for Uncle Wu. How much you can sell depends on luck. Does Uncle Wu trust me?" Mai Xiang asked.

"I don't want money. I made it and you sell it. I sell the money to buy you some delicious food." Wu Fu smiled honestly.

Mai Xiang remembered that Wu Fu had made several flower baskets for herself, and sold them herself without giving Wu Fu any money. How should she repay this kindness?

Mai Xiang looked at Wu Fu's clothes that had been patched several times, thinking that he was going to say kiss, should she give him a new dress?
