Farm girl, she is always digging holes to bury people

"Xiao Cheng, what's wrong?"

Uncle Li looked at him doubtfully. He couldn't adapt to the fact that Zhong Cheng suddenly became his godson.

"I also want to go to the town to have a look. Isn't it convenient?"

On the surface he was asking Uncle Li, but in fact he was looking at Qinan.

Of course Qinan has no objection.

Anyway, I don’t know anyone when I go to town, so I don’t have to worry about any rumors.

It seems good to have one more helper who can help her carry the bucket.

She nodded slightly, and Zhong Cheng also smiled.

Uncle Li started to giggle when he saw Zhong Cheng standing there, wondering if there was something wrong with this kid's mind.

"Get in the car, why is a person giggling?"

After arriving in town, Qinan asked him to place her at the entrance of a crowded market.

Zhong Cheng also stayed with some excuses.

Uncle Li still had to rush to the place where the coachmen gathered to solicit customers, and he didn't care about the affairs of these two young people.

Anyway, they made an appointment to meet at this intersection in the afternoon.

"What are you still doing? Go to work!"

Qi Nan ordered Zhong Cheng politely, and based on her short-term observation, she found a golden corner.

They arrived not too early, and both sides of the market streets were crowded with all kinds of vendors.

Some sell meat and vegetables, some sell knick-knacks, there are morning market shops that make snacks, and some buy cloth and jewelry.

In a small market, the things sold are quite complicated.

Maybe there are many categories here, the prices are right, and there are a lot of people coming and going.

Zhong Cheng spread the cloth prepared by Qi Nan on the ground, then placed the bucket on it. After opening the lid of the bucket, he stood blankly aside, like a hunter waiting to buy bamboo shoots. customer.

At this time, Qinan was not in a hurry to sell bamboo shoots. For her, filling her stomach was the first priority.

She looked at the wonton stall next door. There was only one woman busy there, and she was carrying a child on her back. The child looked to be only a few months old.

Maybe the woman kept bending down to wrap the wontons, which made the child on her back feel uncomfortable. The child cried loudly. The woman just kept her face numb and wrapped the wontons mechanically with her hands. Never stopped.

There were several people around her, whether they were diners waiting to eat wontons or just watching the excitement.

"This woman is also cruel. The child is crying like that. She doesn't know how to put it down and comfort her. She is not in a hurry to make money. If anything happens to the child, she will regret it."

"If you don't know, don't lie. She is also a miserable person! Because she couldn't give birth to a son, she was beaten by her husband every day. You see her face is bruised and purple. I'm afraid she was beaten yesterday.

This wonton stall is their family's only livelihood. What can she do if she doesn't work? She will let the family starve to death. "

"It turns out that she is such a miserable person, so her husband must be too useless. If that guy in my family dares to hit me, I will bite off a piece of his flesh even if I risk my life."

"Hey, everyone has their own destiny. I heard that she also had a 1-year-old eldest daughter, who was sold by her inhuman husband to pay off gambling debts.

This woman worked so hard just so that one day she could sell it for enough money to redeem her daughter. "

After hearing these things, some people around her became more sympathetic to the woman.

Those who could afford it went to her stall and bought a bowl of wontons to eat, while those who didn't could just look at her sympathetically.

It seemed that this could help her and comfort the poor man from a distance.

Qi Nan came to her stall and said, "Two bowls of wontons will be ready and delivered to the stall selling bamboo shoots next door to you."

"Okay, wait a moment." There were a lot of orders today. The woman hurriedly looked up at Qin Nan, and then at Zhong Cheng's stall.

After confirming that he had memorized this information, he went back to making wontons.

Qinan bought wontons not because she heard her story, but because she was attracted by the smell of wontons being cooked next door early in the morning.

People here eat first and pay later. She was too lazy to squeeze in with a group of people and continue watching, so she returned to her small stall.

At this time Zhong Cheng was talking to an uncle.

"Young man, how can you sell these fresh bamboo shoots?"

The uncle is a good shopper. They used to have this kind of bamboo shoots in their hometown, but after he moved to the town, he has not been back for many years because of his inconvenient legs and feet.

I haven’t eaten fresh water bamboo shoots for a long time.

Zhong Cheng didn't expect that business would come to his door in such a short period of time. Fortunately, Qinan was back, otherwise he wouldn't know what price to ask.

"I originally wanted to sell it for 1 tael of silver and 1 catty. It just opened this morning, so I'll sell it to you, uncle, for 1 tael of silver and [-] catties."

The uncle just wanted to call it expensive, but he seemed to have taken advantage of the 1 tael of silver and [-] catties.

And these fresh seasonal bamboo shoots are not available every year.

"Then if I buy 2 taels of silver, can you give me some more bamboo shoots? Your price is not low, just think of it as small profits but quick turnover. If you give me more, I can also introduce some of my old friends to you. purchase."

Qinan sells bamboo shoots for fun, and he is very satisfied if he can sell them for zero money.

"Then 2 taels of silver and 5 pounds of bamboo shoots."

"My little friend is happy."

Qi Nan borrowed a scale from the vegetable stall next door and weighed the uncle a full 1 kilograms. The uncle happily carried the bamboo shoots back.

I thought the uncle's words about introducing customers were a joke to bargain for.

Unexpectedly, he actually led a few little old men to Qinan's stall.

"That's it. I just bought those bamboo shoots here. The ones she bought here are fresh and cheap, and they are cooked. You can fry them and eat them later."

"Two taels of silver and five catties. It's really cheap. Give me five catties."

"I'll get 5 pounds too."

……

Qinan looked at his almost empty barrel and felt a little weird.

Sold out so quickly? She was ready to squat here and set up a stall for a whole day.

Finally, she gave all the remaining bamboo shoots to the vegetable seller next door.

After all, it's appropriate to give someone a few bamboo shoots to try if you borrow someone else's scale.

"You don't have to be so polite. Little girl, you probably still have 1 or [-] pounds here, which you can sell for money."

"We've almost sold it. Auntie, thanks to your compliment just now, don't be polite to me.

There are not many bamboo shoots, so take them back and try them. I will come to set up a stall often in the future, and we will become friends. "

What Qin Nan said was not polite.

In the future, if she gets any wild goods in Lushui Village, she might set up a stall to sell them.

It is also necessary to have a good relationship with the vendors in the market.

The main reason is that the vegetables sold by Qi Nan do not conflict with those sold by my aunt. Some of the people who bought bamboo shoots just now also bought her vegetables.

Seeing that this little girl is a good business person, my aunt is happy to make friends with her.
