Begging You to Break Off This Engagement!

Pinewood Town is not particularly large, with a permanent population of about 2000 people.It is located in the north, and the development is not as good as the south, which is warm all year round, but the life in the town is not the worst in the north.

Here, like other towns, there is a morning market from the beginning of May to the end of September every year.Because of the warm weather at the moment, there are people coming and going in the market.The ancients were used to going to bed early and getting up early. Although the people in the town did not wake up before dawn like farmers, some vendors had already set up their stalls.When Luo Fei and Xi Yanqing arrived, it was already lively.

When Luo Fei came out, he brought a piece of rag. He spread the cloth on the ground, arranged the sachets one by one, and tried to sell them.As for Xi Yanqing, the pharmacy he wanted to go to hasn't opened yet, so it might take another half an hour.

Luo Fei, who had never done business before, was a little apprehensive on the way here, and he was even more nervous when he placed things at the moment.He didn't worry about anything else, but worried that if none of them could be sold, wouldn't that be a waste of work? !Who knew that before this thing was finished, someone would come over.

"Ah! Mother, look! It's such a beautiful sachet!" A little girl who looked about eleven or twelve years old pointed to Luo Fei's stall, and pulled her mother who was about to buy glutinous rice, and came over, "Little brother, How do you sell this sachet?"

"Which one? This one?" Luo Fei followed the direction the little girl pointed and pointed at a pink sachet embroidered with lotus flowers.This sachet is not big, it can barely be considered a medium size, and its diameter is only five or six centimeters, but it is very finely made.Luo Fei felt that the most outstanding feature of this sachet was that the embroidery technique was different from most of the embroidery techniques here.He uses a more three-dimensional embroidery method, which takes a lot of thread and time, but the embroidered patterns are incomparable to ordinary embroidery, with a very three-dimensional effect.Luo Fei only embroidered three of these in total, and he didn't expect to be noticed by the little girl at a glance.

"That's right, that's it." The little girl's eyes were already glued to the sachet.

"Little sister, this sachet costs six renminbi." The cost of this thing is only about two renminbi for simple materials, but its embroidery is complicated, so the price of Luo Feiding is relatively high.This time he made a total of fifty sachets and ten purses, and there was still a lot of thread left over from the one hundred wen he bought, but all the cloth he bought was used up.He had already calculated before coming here, as long as each of them can earn one to four pennies.

"Mother, six cents, can I buy it? Can I?" The little girl seemed to want it very much, looking at her mother expectantly, "I have never seen such a beautiful sachet before."

"Liuwen is too expensive. We won't buy it." The woman seemed to think that the sachet was well made, but Liuwen was a bit too much.

"Can you sell it to me at a lower price, little brother?" The little girl grabbed her mother's hand tightly and refused to let her go, "Let's make it cheaper."

"The minimum is five cents, it can't be cheap anymore. I only embroider one piece of embroidery like this a day. Didn't you see that there are not many sachets embroidered like this?" Luo Fei pointed to the other three.In fact, he can embroider two to three of these kinds of embroidery a day, but it can’t be said that way!

"Five cents is expensive." Seeing that she could bargain, the woman was not in a hurry to leave, but she still felt that five cents was too expensive.

"Sister, you can't buy these sachets elsewhere. And as you have seen, there are only four of them." Xi Yanqing said, "The festival is coming soon, and carrying a sachet can keep away insects and disasters, so just Get one for your child."

"Four cents? I'll buy one for four cents." The woman said, "Little brother, I'm buying it sincerely, so why don't you sell it to me at a lower price?"

"Four cents is not enough." This is what Xi Yanqing said, "The minimum is five cents, big sister, if you can get it, you can take it, and we will sell it sincerely." I don't even think about how much his wife would spend to make this thing. energy?How can it be sold so cheap?In fact, he felt that five pennies were too little!

"Forget it, don't buy it." The woman insisted on pulling her daughter away.

Luo Fei was almost shaken just now. He felt that although he didn't earn a lot of money, he could still earn a little bit. Wouldn't it be good to open a business?

But no matter how you look at it, Xi Yanqing has his own ideas.

Xi Yanqing looked around and rearranged the embroidery. He said to Luo Fei: "We can't arrange it like just now. We have to sort it by size and selling price. Do you remember the stalls we saw before?" , are they all the same? It seems to be more eye-catching."

Previously, their way of arranging them was to mess up the colors, interspersed and interspersed, and they thought it was so beautiful.But looking at it now, I find that something is not right.

Luo Fei didn't have any experience in business, but at this time, what Xi Yanqing said seemed to make sense, so he was busy putting together and re-arranging.Press size from top to bottom and price from left to right.This kind of arrangement is also good-looking, and the emphasis is on those few specially refined ones.

"Do you think the price I set is too expensive?" Luo Fei recalled that Xi Yanqing told him that a long-term worker only earns 150 Wen for a month regardless of whether he eats or lives. He sells five or six Wen for a sachet. A day's wages for the last long-term worker? !

"It's not expensive at all. You have to know that your sachet is so special that you can't buy it outside." Luo Fei told him on the way here that there is no such thing for sale here.

"Okay! The sachet I made is the Chanel in the sachet!" Luo Fei shouted suddenly after finishing speaking: "Selling sachet purse, unique sachet purse! It is your best choice for repelling insects and evil spirits for the Dragon Boat Festival! Selling sachets and purses..."

"It's selling sachets and purses, unique sachets and purses!" Xi Yanqing smiled and shouted to help, and many people came to see it.

"Little brother, how do you sell this sachet?" A big brother with a little sister came!The clothes you wear are good!

"This Siwen." There is no three-dimensional embroidery, but plum blossoms are embroidered on it.Luo Fei asked, "Do you use it?"

"No. It's for my sister." The guest was very happy, and took out four Wen coins while talking, "Give me this."

"Okay, okay." Luo Fei thought to himself: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!It's finally open!Oh oh, I gotta get my facial expressions under control!Ding!Luo Xiaoying is online!

"Thank you, brother." The little girl is four or five years old. She looks very sweet and cute, and she has two dimples when she smiles.She took the sachet and smiled sweetly, which made Luo Fei feel better.

"You're welcome, you little living ancestor." The big brother nodded the tip of the little girl's nose, picked her up and left.

As soon as the guests left, Luo Fei couldn't help looking at Xi Yanqing with joy: "Brother Qing! It's sold! Ouch, it's finally open!"

Xi Yanqing smiled and said, "I'll tell you on the way, so I won't worry about selling it. Your craftsmanship is so good, everyone has eyes. Besides, who doesn't want to be happy during the festival?"

Luo Fei thought, that's right!

I can't help but be happy!

Selling it for four pennies is equivalent to earning two pennies!And he can make a few of the kind he just sold in a day!

Luo Fei felt that he was about to lose control of his prehistoric power, and in the next second, he shouted even louder: "Sell sachets and purses! Unique sachets and purses! Exorcise insects and ward off evil spirits for the Dragon Boat Festival! Sell sachets and purses!" ..."

emmmmmmmmmmmmm...

It seems that I was too happy just now.

Luo Fei yelled until his voice became hoarse, and there was no second person to buy it.Some came to ask, but they left after asking the price.

I finally got another one, and I bought the cheapest and smallest one.Two pennies, Luo Fei could have less than one penny left, but this was taken away by the tax collectors.A total of two sachets were sold, and they charged a penny in tax!what the hell? !

Xi Yanqing yelled for Luo Fei from time to time, but at the same time, he didn't forget to observe the people coming and going.Most of the people in the morning market came to buy vegetables and breakfast. The business of selling fish, meat and steamed buns was good, but the others were not so good.Perhaps the choice of such a place itself was wrong.

Luo Fei was a little discouraged, looking at the sachets and purses spread all over the floor, he felt vaguely anxious.

Xi Yanqing brought water to Luo Fei: "Don't worry, it takes time and patience to do anything. Why don't we change the word?" After Xi Yanqing agreed with Luo Fei, he raised his voice and shouted: "Come on, pass by!" Take a look, sell sachets and purses, the small ones only cost a penny, send relatives and friends to repel insects and ward off evil spirits for the festival, sell sachets and purses..."

"Big brother, how much is this sachet?" This time, a big brother with a younger brother!Wearing a moon-white robe, this person is extremely handsome, and even his voice is like spring breeze.

"This sachet is five cents." Luo Fei pointed to the bright blue sachet and said.

"Where is this purse?"

"This one is a little more expensive, ten yuan." The main reason is that the purse uses a lot of materials, and the area is large, and the embroidered pictures are also large, which requires more man-hours.

"Can it be cheaper? I want to buy a sachet and a purse." The visitor said while stroking his brother's hair.

"I'll accept your thirteen essays." Luo Fei felt that this person was more eye-catching, for no reason.

"Okay, then I want these two." The man handed over the money.

"Daddy, I want sugar cakes..." At this moment, the child shook the man's hand and said, "Daddy buys it."

"Okay, Daddy will buy it for you." The man smiled dotingly.

"Siyuan?! Siyuan!" An anxious cry came from a distance, "Siyuan? Changle?"

"Father, we are here!" The child held the sachet and looked towards the source of the sound.Luo Fei and Xi Yanqing saw a tall man walking towards them quickly.Seeing one big and one small, the man heaved a long sigh of relief: "You guys almost scared me to death, the time to buy a roast chicken is gone."

"I told you just now." The man who should be called Siyuan smiled helplessly, "I'm afraid you didn't hear it because you were thinking about others."

"Ah, I was just thinking about buying you the spiced one or the original one." The man smiled, "What did you buy?"

"I bought a sachet and a pouch. The Dragon Boat Festival is almost over, so I should celebrate the solar terms. I only regret that my right hand is inconvenient, otherwise I would like to make it for you and Chang Le."

"If you have that time, why don't you spend more time with me and Chang Le. Sachet, you can buy it." The man turned his head, "Little brother, please pick another one for us, for my wife. The last good-looking!"

"Why don't we just get the same one?" The child's father just picked out a white one embroidered with green bamboo.It is the one that Luo Fei thought literati would like.There are three in total, the style is simple but it looks really good-looking.

The man agreed, and gave Luo Fei another five cents.Luo Fei returned a text and heard the man named Siyuan thank him.

Just like that, he sold two more sachets and a pouch. Luo Fei took the money and said as if talking to himself, "They are actually father and son. I thought they were brothers."

Otherwise, he wouldn't think so, mainly because he didn't see the plum blossom in the guest's hand at first glance, so he didn't think that the guest would be a little brother like him.But later he found that there was a scar on the man's right hand, but he couldn't see anything where there should be flowers.

"Do you think we will be like them in the future?" Xi Yanqing asked eagerly.

"Should...maybe..." Luo Fei originally wanted to say no, right?Because he couldn't imagine himself having children.But when he saw Xi Yanqing's envious eyes, he suddenly thought that Xi Yanqing was abandoned by his parents since he was a child, and he vaguely felt that Xi Yanqing might want to have such a kinship bond more than others.So he swallowed the following words abruptly.

He thought, maybe they will be like those three people in the future, and it will be fine.

If nothing else, in this world, they end up like that.

Of course, it's hard to say if someone is that rich...

Luo Fei thought for a while, and continued to sell. At this time, he didn't know that he and Xi Yanqing would meet the family of three again in the future.

&&&&&&

When the hour passed, the morning market was about to end. Luo Fei clicked. This morning he sold a total of six sachets and a pouch. After deducting the cheap money for others, he received a total of 25 coins. It looks like half of it is left.If you can earn so much every day, you can have more than 300 Wen in a month, even if you share half of what should be given to Han Xu, you will still have more than 100 Wen in a month!

Isn't this more than a laborer earns? !

Luo Fei counted the first pot of gold in his life several times, put his cloth bag on his back and put his arms around Xi Yanqing: "Brother Qing, let's go! I invite you to eat bean curd!"

Xi Yanqing originally wanted to buy some food for Luo Fei, but he couldn't refuse it, and went directly to the small shop selling bean curd.After the young couple ate a bowl of bean curd, they went to the medicine shop across the street.Xi Yanqing talked with the old shopkeeper in the shop for a while, the shopkeeper finally left the aconite and gentian grass, and gave Xi Yanqing fifteen cents.It was also at this time that Xi Yanqing realized that gentian grass was actually quite valuable.According to the shopkeeper, this thing is rare in the local area.If it wasn't for his unfamiliarity, I'm afraid he would have earned more than fifteen pennies with that one.

Aconite is nothing rare, so Xi Yanqing just left it to the shopkeeper of the pharmacy, just as a familiar face.Anyway, fifteen essays is not a lot for him now.It can be seen from this that it is not uncommon for people to empty their homes after getting sick these days, because there is no such thing as insurance in this era, and doctors have to pay for everything themselves.If you pay for it yourself, you can pay for it yourself, the medicinal materials are still expensive.Because there are very few medicinal herbs here, and the types that can be planted are even more limited. Most of the medicinal herbs are still wild. Except for the usual purchases from the medicinal herbs dealers in the medicine shop, the rest are basically collected from outsiders.

Luo Fei originally thought that he could earn more than ten yuan a day, and finally he could walk on the bright road of raising Xi Yanqing, but unexpectedly, after turning around for a while, Xi Yanqing sold him for fifteen yuan!Earn more than him!

People are called white wolves with empty gloves. It costs fifteen yuan to go up the mountain!

Luo Xiaoying is very sad!

"If I had known this earlier, I might as well let you teach me to identify medicinal materials." Luo Fei said sullenly.He feels smitten.

"I don't know all the medicinal materials, but I just know some of them that I have come into contact with before." Xi Yanqing said, "Besides, yours is guaranteed to harvest during drought and flood, but mine depends on whether God will take care of it or not." Who knows next time I go up the mountain Can we still encounter gentian grass?

"That's right. I will work hard! I will open an embroidery workshop in the future!" People still have ideals, what if they come true someday? !

"According to me, why don't we show the purse and sachet you made to the owner of the fabric shop." Xi Yanqing pondered for a while and said, "Who do you think will be the people who buy vegetables in the morning market? Not ordinary people They are the servants who work for rich families. And those who really have good living conditions are unlikely to go out to the morning market. They buy vegetables either from the vegetable farmers to send them home for a monthly settlement, or send servants to buy them. Of course like The family of three just now was an exception, but that kind of family is still a minority after all."

"Then why don't we go to the fabric shop?!" Luo Fei thought that there are still so many left, and it would be better if the owner of the fabric store can accept it.

The owner of the cloth shop was an old tailor himself.He knew Luo Fei, because Luo Fei chatted for a long time when he was shopping for cloth heads.Besides, Luo Fei was originally good-looking, so it's not easy for people to forget.Although every time Luo Fei came here, his face was smeared a little dirty, but who hasn't seen the talents of the fabric shop?It was obvious at a glance that Luo Fei was handsome.

"Little brother, are you here to buy small cloth heads again?" the shop owner asked.It's almost noon, and it's hot, so there's not much people in the shop right now.

"Boss, I'm not buying cloth heads this time, but I want to ask if you accept this." Luo Fei took out his sachet and flower purse, "Look, do you leave these things for consignment? Or Or you take these."

"Hey, this workmanship is really good, you made it?" The boss's eyes lit up, and he picked up a purse embroidered with orchids to look at it, "The color matches really well."

"I matched it myself, and I drew the pattern and embroidered it myself. Do you think you can accept it?"

"How much are you going to sell for?"

"The big sachet costs five Wen, the small one costs three Wen, and the purse costs ten Wen." Luo Fei didn't say much, planning to follow through on the price at the morning market.

"It's not cheap." The boss put down the things he picked up again, "It's okay to sell them here, but you can't ask for such a price."

"Then how much can you pay?" Xi Yanqing asked.The bosses and shopkeepers in these shops are like a fine man.First show that you like it, so that people feel that they want to accept it too.But when it came time to negotiate the price, he repeatedly said that the price was high, and he wanted to get the lowest price and took the goods.

"Little brother, you got this cloth from my shop, and you don't have a lot of money in it. You said it's so expensive, isn't it appropriate?"

"We sell handicrafts, not cloth. Boss, you are embarrassing us for saying that." Xi Yanqing smiled, "Besides, you are a big business, and we are just working from dawn to dusk to make money from handicrafts, don't you think so?"

"Hey, what's a big business? Have you ever seen a store that does a big business as a shopkeeper?"

"Boss, can I take two taels of silver for this dress?" At this time, a girl about sixteen or seventeen years old came from the clothing store opposite.She was carrying the most popular pink long sleeves in her hand, "The shopkeeper said, I have to ask if you agree with it."

"Look, it's not a big deal to open two shops." Xi Yanqing joked.

"Oh! These purses and sachets are so beautiful. Boss Li, are your new ones? How do you sell them?"

"This?" Boss Li said without frowning, "Thirty cash for the purse. Ten cash for the small sachet, and fifteen cash for the large one."

"Sure, let me take this, and this. Forget about the plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, I want it, and it's just right to share it with my younger sisters." The girl grabbed several of them, and her character was quite bold.Yes, he is also bold when taking money.

Luo Fei stared dumbfounded, thinking that this is too...

He sells a purse for ten yuan in the morning, and there are people negotiating the price, so if they want thirty yuan, they will sell it!

Luo Fei used all his breastfeeding strength to hold back his voice.Mainly for long-term business, he doesn't have the resources of Boss Li, so he can only hold back for now!

Later, the girl not only bought the dress for two taels of silver, but also bought four purses and four sachets!Boss Li collected two taels of silver and 180 copper coins at once!And the 180 copper coins, isn't it exactly what Luo Fei thought he could earn in a month by working harder? !

Damn, people are more popular than others!

"Oh, young man, do you really think that I can meet such a guest every day? Just now that was the eldest lady of Luo Dafu's family, she is rich."

"Then you can give me more, it's so expensive, I can't even get half of it." Luo Feixiao was depressed.

"Then..." The boss gave Luo Fei all the 180 copper coins he just got, and wanted to take back all the five purses and more than 40 sachets left in Luo Fei's hands.Luo Fei quit, and bargained with him until he ended up asking for an extra piece of cloth worth about fifty copper coins.Calculated in this way, Luo Fei's work is not in vain. This batch of goods can earn about 150 yuan.The main reason is that the cloth head is also worth part of the money, so it has to be counted in it.

"Okay, now you can take care of me, tell me, how do you want to take care of me?" Xi Yanqing was still angry when he saw how far Luo Fei had gone, and teased him, "Do you want a full body massage service? Do you still want dual repair services? Or... give you a back rub?"

"I'm just angry. Why do you think they earn so much? I'm the one who is exhausted, and he earns so much just by changing hands." Luo Fei felt unbalanced when he thought about it.

"Who will let people have a storefront and resources? But don't be angry, we can work hard, and there will always be some in the future." Xi Yanqing hugged Luo Fei, and decided to use the money from selling medicinal materials to take Luo Fei to buy some meat, and then just went home.

When the two went to buy meat, they almost passed Zhang Yangfan across the street, but they each had something to pay attention to, so no one noticed that's all.

It's almost the Dragon Boat Festival, Zhang Yangfan came to the town to meet some friends and make a couple for drinks.However, his new clothes always feel that the design is too simple and looks too monotonous.Look at the jade pendants and purses of the classmates again, think about his decision to get a purse or a sachet to wear.This thing is not that expensive, but it can add a sense of design after using it.

Coincidentally, what Zhang Yangfan entered was the clothing store opposite the fabric store that Luo Fei and Xi Yanqing went to.There are also some small decorations here, and Luo Fei's batch was just sent here by Boss Li.When Zhang Yangfan saw it, he immediately fell in love with the white embroidered green bamboo sachet!
