The Sweet Little Fulang

When Shen Xuanqing carried two heavy bundles of firewood, and Lu Gu's bamboo basket was full, seeing Shen Xuanqing tied four or five firewood to him with a short rope, he frowned slightly and opened his mouth to speak.

"That's all, I haven't cut off many of them. These can be sold as well. You can put them on your back." Shen Xuanqing didn't give him a chance to speak.

Shen Xuanqing carried all the ropes and hatchets on his back, and he was about to go home, but Lu Gu had to give up. He carried the bamboo basket on his back, put the firewood on the bamboo basket, and dragged the hemp rope to his chest and went down the mountain.

Da Hui and Dog Cub ran in front. They saw Shen Yan and the others by the river behind the house on the gentle slope, and they ran over.

The ducks were swimming in the pond. In addition to Wei Lanxiang's big duck, Lu Gu's seven ducks were also in the water. Now their feathers are plump, and they look like big ducks, except for their smaller stature.

"Second brother has caught so much firewood." Shen Yan saw the firewood pallet he picked up, and said casually, when Lu Gu came over, she went to see the wild vegetables in the bamboo basket.

"Brother Millet, I dug some too." As she said, Lu Gu saw the pile of wild vegetables on the ground next to her.

Shen Yan said again: "Mother is also digging. You go to the town in the afternoon and take me here and sell it together."

"Yeah." Lu Gu nodded in agreement.

The two of them had to hurry up the mountain and pick firewood for sale. Shen Xuanqing chopped a lot, so naturally it took a lot of effort. It was still early in the morning, and it was noon now.

"Mother has made the meal, and when Brother Daqing collects the fish cage, we will go back to eat." Shen Yan squatted down and put the wild vegetables on the ground into Lu Gu's bamboo basket. on the ground.

Together with her, Lu Gu quickly packed the wild vegetables, and pressed down because there were too many.

"Sister-in-law, you stand behind and I'll pull it." Shen Xuanqing took off the firewood load on his shoulders and walked to the river to let Ji Qiuyue back.

Shen Yaoqing was rowing a wooden boat, and the place where he got into the fish cage was not very far from the river, but it was not summer, so it was not good to go into the water with bare feet.

One end of the fish cage was tied with a fine hemp rope, and the stones on the cage could be pulled back after removing them. There was no need for Shen Yaoqing to put them into the boat one by one. The wooden boat was also small, and eight fish cages could not fit well.

"No trouble, this fish cage doesn't sink," Ji Qiuyue said, but when Shen Xuanqing stood over, she had to give up her seat.

The fish cage was in the river in the morning, and Shen Yan did not dare to leave by letting the ducks go.

Luckily, it was behind her house, not too far away. She was thirsty and hungry and ran to the base of the back wall to shout, and Wei Lanxiang brought her a bowl of hot water.

After the first fish cage was put up, Shen Xuanqing glanced at the lively fish inside. Due to the characteristics of the fish cage, all the small fish were caught, and the big fish could not get in. Among them, the winter and spring fish were the most, and the others were Some small fry that didn't grow up.

Lu Gu and Shen Yan came over after loading the wild vegetables. They took the fish cage and dumped the small fry on the ground. They both picked the winter and spring fish and put their tails into the wooden bucket filled with water. Throw it back into the river.

The river water was cold and the fish were also cold. They didn't let Ji Qiuyue do it. Besides, there weren't many fish in a fish cage, so they were sorted out in three or two seconds.

How many winter and spring fish are caught in the eight fish cages, and even the watertail is more than half a bucket when I bring it home. This little fish is only as long as a human finger. Fortunately, the price is higher, 18 to 20 cents per pound. Wait.

When winter starts to spring, this is the best and most tender fresh fish. People who are particular will buy soup to make up their children's body and grow taller, so that they can be sold for a price similar to that of pork.

After returning, Shen Yaoqing picked seven or eight of the youngest and left them to cook a fresh soup for the family. After lunch, while the fresh wild vegetables and fish were still alive, they went to town with Lu Gu and Shen Xuanqing.

Lu Gu carried a basket on his arm, which contained a sachet, a handkerchief, and a tie.

A cart of firewood was **** with long ropes, and two baskets of wild vegetables were placed on it, pulled by Shen Xuanqing.

Shen Yaoqing was carrying the bucket, and there was no seat on the trolley. Besides, there were fish in it, and the bumping of the trolley would spill the water, so it was better to carry it easily.

The wood is heavy, even if it is only slender firewood, it is not light. The two bundles of firewood that Shen Xuanqing brought back today weighed 40 to 50 kilograms. In addition to the ones that Shen Yaoqing had beaten before, they were all put on the trolley, and the branches and firewood were no different. There will naturally be gaps when they are stacked together, and they cannot be compacted.

A load of 100 catties, firewood, rice, oil and salt is the cheapest firewood, and a load of firewood is only forty wen. If the firewood for this trolley was a little bit luckier, it would sell for about 60 cents.

Farmers are like this. They spend two or three mornings to collect firewood, and they sell for less than 60 cents.

However, cheap firewood is cheap. The advantage is that you only need to chop it up. Unlike putting fish in a cage, the fish you catch are all based on luck.

After the spring, all kinds of shops opened in the town, and there were a lot of people. Lu Gu followed Shen Xuanqing to the streets, and Shen Yaoqing also sold a lot. They sold a lot of things, firewood, fish and wild vegetables were all eaten. People in Nangluozi town also like to use it.

The things he sells are already different from before. If he dares not to say anything, he will learn from Shen Xuanqing to say that the price is one or two cents higher. Shepherd's purse has just been released, and it is rare. If he can't earn a few dollars, he will say four cents and five cents when someone asks him. After some negotiation, he will sell it for three cents, as long as it is not lower than the market price.

At the end, there were some bad shepherd's purse left at the bottom of the bamboo basket. He shouted and said two cents. An old woman heard that she wanted to buy a pound from the door. Seeing the old woman tremblingly opened the handkerchief, there were about ten copper plates inside. He gave all the shepherd's purse at the bottom of the basket to the old woman, saying that he only charged two cents.

"How can this be made, take it and take it." The old woman was poor but sensible, and gave him four copper coins.

Because not all the wild vegetables were dug by him, but also by Wei Lanxiang and Shen Yan, Lu Gu did not dare to give it to others, so he only took two copper plates from the old woman's hand, and whispered, "This vegetable is under the weight. The bottom is not good, two texts are enough."

After he finished speaking, he picked up the diabolo basket and went to find Shen Xuanqing. The old woman behind him sighed and carefully wrapped the money in a handkerchief, saying that she had met a good person, and then went home with the wild vegetables.

Deep in the alley, Shen Xuanqing was unloading firewood. This house sold all the remaining half-carriage of firewood. He was a big customer. Naturally, he wanted to help move the firewood in. If he was familiar with the firewood in the future, he would just come over and ask. talk.

He was tall and big, and he carried a lot of firewood in his arms. He and the son of this family quickly moved all the firewood in.

Lu Gu came over and saw several women and couples sitting in front of the door chatting, so he put the diabolo basket on the trolley, carried the basket over to talk to him, and lifted the cloth to reveal the contents.

"Handkerchiefs are cheap, three cents a piece." He didn't say much, because the sachets in the bamboo basket were brightly colored, even people who didn't want to buy them gathered around to watch.

I often come to the town to sell things, and when I talk to people, I will definitely encounter impatient stares. Lu Gu used to be apprehensive and scared. One is.

"How did you sell this sachet?" a lanky-faced husband asked him.

"Forty wen for the sachet, 5 wen for the net, 10 wen for such a big color." Lu Gu said the price one by one.

"So expensive?" The slender face pretended to be surprised, as if he had never seen such a high price.

Lu Gu, a customer like him, has seen a lot, and said with a slight eyebrow, "It's not expensive. It contains medicinal materials and spices. The aroma is very expensive."

"How about thirty wen?" said the slender face, and the woman next to him also helped.

The sachets and medicine bags Lu Gu didn't sell much before, but his mother often sold them when he was there. He knew the price, and the needles and threads he embroidered were fine and not rough at all, not to mention that there were medicinal herbs and a little spice inside. Forty wen is really not expensive.

Lu Gu shook his head and said, "It's not worth 30 wen. I'm good at this stuff. There are only so many flowers for light embroidery, and embroidery also costs money. Forty wen is already cheap."

The husband picked up the sachet and looked at it again and again, and he kept haggling.

"Then if you want to buy two, I'll sell it for 35 cents." Lu Gu was unwilling to sell his sachets for only 30 cents.

"Thirty cents, let's buy two." The slender-faced man held on to the sachet, and said that he had to take money from his arms, but he wanted to buy and sell by force.

The three people next to him were also helping, saying that 30 wen was enough. This sachet was only so big, and the scent would disappear after a few days. 30 wen was a good price, otherwise, who would be taken advantage of.

They talked a lot, but Lu Gu couldn't say it, and full of grievances, he said, "Give me the sachet, and I won't sell it."

"I'll give you thirty pennies." The slender-faced husband took out the copper plate, holding the sachet in his hand.

Lu Gu was in a hurry. He didn't want to sell it to this person, and said anxiously: "It's only 30 cents to buy two. You only buy one, and I won't sell you."

"One and two are not the same." The slender face counted thirty pennies.

He is only one person, and he can't quarrel with others at all. Shen Xuanqing came out of the house, frowned upon seeing this, and strode forward and said, "My husband doesn't want to sell, how can you forcefully buy it at a low price? "

A man who is a head taller than ordinary men stands here with a cold face and a fierce look, which is enough to make people dread.

These women and husbands were used to entanglement on weekdays, but when such a strong man suddenly came, he couldn't help muttering in his heart, and his momentum suddenly weakened.

Lu Gu's heart was full of his sachets. When he saw his slender face, he stopped in place and pulled the sachets back from the opponent's hands. As for the thirty copper plates, he didn't even look at them.

In fact, if the other party negotiates with good words, it would be cheaper if he buys two of them, but these people's words are too ugly, saying that he takes others as a slaughter.

"Let's go and find Brother Daqing." Shen Xuanqing said.

"Yeah." Lu Gu nodded sullenly and followed closely, feeling unspeakable grievances in his heart.

The scooter squeaked out of the alley, Lu Gu walked with his head down, and his left hand was suddenly held.

"We won't come here in the future. They are not good people. We don't sell anything to them. There are many customers in the town, not bad." Shen Xuanqing squeezed his palm.

It may be a bit too much to share the enemy. There is a person standing in the same place with him, and he will not let him bear it for a while, nor will he say that it is just trivial things, don't take it to heart, it is excellent.

For those who are being wronged, how can it be a trivial matter, and it may be forgotten later, but at the moment I feel uncomfortable, how can it be so easy to be relieved.

Lu Gu didn't understand this, but at this moment, his full of grievances turned into dependence on Shen Xuanqing. He rarely held Shen Xuanqing's hand. His nose was a little sore, but he nodded solemnly: "Well, don't sell it to them."
