Chapter 42 The little girl selling tofu
The two of them packed up their things and were about to go home, when suddenly another group of people rushed out from the corner of the street.
"The little tofu seller, wait, wait for us!"
"Auntie, there is no tofu today. It has been sold out." Su Ziling stopped and replied.
"No more?" Her voice was surprisingly loud.
"How much effort does this take? Sister-in-law Yang just said when she went back that there were three barrels. How could this... this... how could it be gone?"
"That's right, little girl, if you don't have enough time to make this cup of tea, how could it be gone? Come on, come on, give me ten bowls."
Su Ziling looked helpless, "Mom, I'm really sorry. It's really sold out. Two people just came and bought three barrels together."
"I didn't buy it again! I only bought two bowls yesterday to try the taste. Who knows, I won't be able to buy any today!"
"If I had known, I would have come out with Sister-in-law Yang!"
"Little girl, will you come tomorrow?"
Everyone looked at her expectantly, as if if she couldn't speak, they would cry to her!
Su Ziling was in a dilemma, she looked at Su Zizhong.
Her original intention was to ask for help, but who knew that the young man had the wrong idea. He nodded solemnly, "Come!"
His voice was particularly loud, at least Su Ziling had never heard him speak so loudly before.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as you come back tomorrow, that's fine. Then I'll come out early tomorrow and wait."
"Me too. You called me when you came. If you came out earlier, I wouldn't believe you couldn't buy it."
Everyone went home one after another. Su Ziling looked at Su Zizhong with a look of helplessness on her face, "Brother, didn't you say you wouldn't come tomorrow?"
Su Zizhong was stunned.
"..."
"Look at me, didn't I just say I was coming?"
Su Ziling: "I want you to refuse."
Su Zizhong: "!!!"
"How to do?"
There are no barrels at home. There are five pairs and ten barrels in total. Two were sold today, leaving only eight barrels left. They can still be sold, but...
There are too few and it’s not worthwhile to make a trip.
"Go back and take a look. If it doesn't work, just borrow a few." The two of them took their things and headed towards the city gate.
Old man Li was waiting alone at the gate of the city. There was no one around him. When he saw them, he stood up and came to meet them, and took the bucket from her hand.
"Today is faster than yesterday. Your business is open." He smiled.
"Huh? Why do I remember that there are eight buckets?"
Su Ziling touched her nose and said, "The barrels were sold. Someone bought more. There was no place to put them, so he bought them with the barrels."
"Oh, oh, oh, sit down, let's go!" After sitting down, Old Man Li looked at the two people behind him.
The oxcart swayed all the way, and the hot sunshine and the gentle breeze made it very comfortable.
Su Ziling sat on the bullock cart, feeling sleepy all the way.
At the end of noon (13:00), we had already arrived at the place where we got off the bus. Su's father was also squatting on the side of the road waiting. When he saw them coming back, he walked forward happily.
"Why is it so fast today?"
He took the bucket and obviously found that the number was wrong, "Did the bucket fall? Why are there still two missing?"
"Sold." Su Zizhong replied calmly.
"Old man Li, this is for you." Su Ziling gave him thirty Wen, and then left him two bowls of tofu.
Old Man Li took the money with a smile, "Why did you keep it for me? Don't keep it next time. Sell it all and make more money."
Su Ziling: "It's okay. From now on, I will continue to work hard for Old Man Li."
Old Man Li took the tofu and said, "Wait a minute. I'll ask your aunt to bring out the bowl."
He shouted twice from the side, and Aunt Li came out a moment later. She walked very fast.
After the tofu was poured, Aunt Li returned the bowl and brought her two bunches of sweet peppers. "I heard Uncle Li say you were looking for this. We happened to have some at home and we don't know how to eat it, so we brought it to you." ”
Su Ziling was not polite, "Thank you, ma'am, you are a help in times of need. I have used up all the ones I have, and I am worried about where to buy them."
"You still want to buy it?" Aunt Li looked confused.
"Yes, if you know someone who has it, remember to help me ask if they can sell it." Su Ziling replied while filling the bell pepper.
Aunt Li: "How much do you need?"
"Of course you can take as many as you want!" Su Ziling said without thinking.
No one is growing sweet peppers now, and the yield is extremely low. What everyone has in their hands is just picking a few of them when they come across them when going up the mountain.
Aunt Li nodded, "Okay, I understand. There is a mountain here with plenty of water. I know there is a patch in the mountain that forms knots all year round. I will find it for you later."
"Really? Thank you so much, auntie. Just remember to pick the red ones and the dry ones, but not the green ones." When Su Ziling heard that she said there was one piece, she immediately beamed with joy.
"Okay, I understand. Will I still wait for you here tomorrow?" Aunt Li asked.
"Yes," Su Ziling nodded, "The time is uncertain, but it's still the same as today. Let's call Uncle Li when we arrive."
"Row."
The few people agreed and went their separate ways. Aunt Li sat on the bullock cart and didn't know what she said. The two of them laughed.
Su Ziling looked envious, "Dad, when we make money, let's buy a cow too."
The girl uttered wild words, which obviously frightened the two people behind her.
Neither of them spoke, and she continued: "Buy two at that time, one ox for carrying things, and one buffalo for plowing the land."
Father Su: "..."
Su Zizhong: "..."
Before they could recover from the shock, they heard her say again: "When the road is open, buy a horse and a carriage. When Erniu goes to school next year, you can let him learn how to ride a horse." , it would be too painful to walk, he wakes up early and stays late, he is still young, so we don’t worry."
Two people: "!!!"
WTF? Buy a horse?
Are you buying a horse now?
Want to buy a carriage?
Erniu goes to school on horseback?
Su's father coughed heavily, "Ahem...what about that, Xiaoqing, we have only been doing business for a few days, don't be in a hurry, take your time."
"Well, Dad, you are right, but today's money is a lot more than yesterday. The tip from the person behind was more than 600 yuan, almost 700 yuan. I guess today's income will be almost two yuan?"
"How much?" Su's father stuttered and his voice broke.
Su Ziling looked back at him, "Dad, are you okay?"
Su's father waved his hand, "It's okay. How much did you say you earned today?"
There was a vibrato in his voice.
There were mountains and forests all around, and the sunlight didn't fully shine in. Only some tiny bits fell down, and the wind made the branches make a "wow" sound.
It's a bit cold in the mountains, and with the "woo-woo" sound, it's a bit scary to walk alone.
"Go home and tell me, go home and tell me, isn't it too cold in the mountains?" Su Ziling rubbed her arms.
Father Su: "What does this mean? There is a mountain in Tianmen Mountain that doesn't get sunlight all year round, and the dew never dries from morning to night."
Perhaps because they had made money, none of them felt tired, and their pace was much faster than usual.
It was originally an hour's journey, but they arrived home a cup of tea early.
From a distance, she heard someone calling her, "Sister, sis!"
It was Axiu. She stood at the door and kept waving to them.
After Su Ziling's hard work in the past half month, Axiu finally gained a little more energy, probably because she was full. She smiled more and liked to talk more, and her submissive aura was gone.
Seeing them approaching, she ran towards the door, and her crisp voice could be heard from far away, "Grandma, Grandma, eldest sister, they are back!"
As soon as Su Ziling and the others opened the door, they saw Mr. Su, Su Chuanbai and two old men who were similar to the old man. They thought these were the old man's two younger brothers.
Su's father spoke first, "Third uncle, fourth uncle."
The two old men nodded. Mr. Su looked at Su Ziling, pointed at one of them and said, "This is your third uncle, that is your fourth uncle."
Su Ziling smiled and nodded, and called out obediently, "Third uncle, fourth uncle."
The two old men nodded, "Where...have you been?"
Mr. Su took over and said, "Didn't I tell you before? This girl has learned the art of making tofu. She has been traveling to various villages in the past two days to earn some hard money."
The two old men didn't ask any more questions, nodded, and continued working, "That's pretty good. It's good to earn a little bit. It's getting harder and harder these days. In previous years, the seedlings have all grown up. It hasn't rained yet this year. I don’t know when I can plant the seeds.”
Mr. Su raised his head and looked at the sky, "It's almost time to plant the awns at the end of the month. I guess the awns can be planted."
