From farming to business

"What is Shuang'er's favorite?" The woman blinked in doubt after hearing his question, and then smiled suddenly, "Isn't Boy Yu someone he likes?"

Yu Feng smiled awkwardly, and quickly waved his hands to deny it, but the other party showed an expression of "I understand", obviously he didn't believe his words, so he sighed slightly and didn't explain any more.

The place where Li Liu was picking materials was only a few steps away from them, the woman's voice was not too low, he turned his head to look there, there was a little color in his eyes, then he looked away as if he didn't know it at all.

He came out today to choose wedding dress materials, and in a month or so, he will marry to a neighboring village. No matter how careful this person is, it will be in vain. Alas, it's all because of his pretty face. Provoked so much right and wrong.

"There are quite a few gouache jewelry stalls on the street next door, maybe you can go there and have a look." The woman watched the man cut the cloth for her, and turned her head to point him in the direction.

Most of the shops here are for rich people, and the prices are very expensive. Ordinary people like them can't afford it, let alone the poor guy on the other side.

According to what she said, there was only an alleyway between the two streets, just pass through, the distance is not too far, Yu Feng bowed his hands and thanked, then turned and walked out of the shop.

Passing through the quiet alleyway, he came to a more bustling street, and the voices of people began to be noisy. He looked around twice, and for a moment he didn't know where to start.

He stood there hesitating for a while, and finally chose a random direction to walk along the flow of people, his eyes occasionally falling on the stalls on the side of the road.

The hawkers are as enthusiastic as the ones they saw when they first entered the town. All kinds of hawking sounds are intertwined, and they will also greet him to take a look at their stalls, which has a very strong atmosphere of life.

Yu Feng likes this kind of life, it is different from the mix of various music in the commercial street before, it will make him feel a little less lonely.

He stopped when a stall with all kinds of hairpin bracelets appeared in his sight, and searched a few times with his eyes. All kinds of gaudy jewelry looked similar in his eyes.

"Hey, young man, are you going to buy a gift for your sweetheart? Is it a girl or a pair?" The hawker immediately showed a pleasing smile when he saw someone parked in front of his stall, and he didn't have any trouble because of the coarse clothes on the other person. Discrimination.

"Shuang'er." Yu Feng, who had nothing to gain and planned to leave, saw his smile and was embarrassed to leave. After replying, he added, "It's my younger brother."

"Then you are really a good brother!" The peddler didn't feel embarrassed when he made a mistake in his judgment, so he answered the conversation and asked, "Is there anything else you want?"

Yu Feng frowned slightly, these jewelry were a little too eye-catching to him, imagining Su Yongyue wearing these things, he felt very inappropriate.

The peddler who sells things all the year round is the best at observing words and expressions. Seeing the tangled expression between his brows, he knew that there might be no match for what was on his face. He rolled his eyes, bent down and took out another wooden box from under the stall. , holding it up to him with a smile, "Young Master, look at these?"

The things in the box are much more plain and simple than those on the booth. Most of them are wooden hairpins or bracelets with only some carved patterns, and a few hair ties neatly stacked on one side.

People in the world have different visions. Some people like to be gorgeous and eye-catching, while others like to be simple and low-key. Naturally, what they sell must satisfy everyone's taste, so that the business will last forever.

Sure enough, Yu Feng's brows relaxed a lot when he saw these things, his eyes searched twice, and finally stopped on a bracelet.

It is said to be a bracelet, but it is actually just a red braided rope strung with a few black beads, and there is a small silver bell hanging in the middle, which is the only eye-catching place.

When Yu Feng reached out to pick it up, the silver bell rang a few times, it was small and not noisy, just like Su Yongyue, unobtrusive, yet cute.

Seeing the smile on his face, the peddler knew that he was probably satisfied. He put down the wooden box in his hand, took the opportunity to pick up one of the porcelain boxes on the other side of the stall, held it up to the person and said, "Master, why don't you bring another box?" The ointment smells like pear blossom, not too strong, it can moisturize the skin when applied on hands and face, I think my brother will like it."

Looking away from the bracelet, Yu Feng opened the lid of the box at the other party's suggestion and took a closer sniff. It was indeed a very light floral fragrance, and the paste was also milky white and translucent, which should only have a moisturizing effect.

Thinking of Su Yongyue's rough hands due to years of work, he was a little moved, his eyes turned between the two things, and finally he gritted his teeth and decided to buy both.

After making a deal, the peddler's smile became even brighter, and he repeatedly praised "Master's good eyesight", and quickly wrapped the two things with oiled paper.

A bracelet and a box of ointment cost Yu Feng more than 100 renminbi, which is more than the cloth and cotton he bought. These are just the most common things in small stalls. For sale, no wonder everyone says that rouge powder is the most expensive.

But even though it was a pain in the flesh, he was happy in his heart. When his grandma was still there, he had no ability. When he could make money, the other party had already passed away. It was the first time he seriously bought gifts for others, and he was quite satisfied. .

Yu Feng stuffed the things into his bosom, and left the stall amidst the hawker's enthusiastic farewell sound, smelled the aroma of food in the air, rubbed his stomach and decided to find a place to eat.

In order to drive the car early in the morning, he didn't eat anything, and started to work when he came here. Now it was almost noon, and his chest was already hungry.

As a poor man, he has nothing to be picky about now. He just found a small stall and drank a bowl of plain plain noodles with sesame seed cakes, which cost another seven or eight Wen.

After filling his stomach, he strolled around and bought some oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar. The ones that Aunt He Fang gave before would not last long, and it was not easy to come to town, so he just bought everything he needed.

Counting the money that will be given to Carpenter Qin in the future, more than half of his hanging money has already been spent. If he doesn't find a job quickly, he will probably drink the northwest wind.

With the joy of harvesting items and the sorrow of losing money, Yu Feng turned back to the previous small shop to pick up his things, the people who were here before had already left, and now the shop has received new customers.

He took a lot of miscellaneous things back to the place where the bullock cart was parked at the entrance of the town, and there were already several people waiting there, among them was the previous aunt who saw him come back with a lot of things, and was still enthusiastic about it Help take it and put it in the car.

That sissy Shuang'er hadn't come back yet, which made him feel relieved, he felt uncomfortable when he saw that guy, it would be good to be clean for a while.

"Boy, have you bought what you want?" Waiting for people here is also very boring, and the woman started talking to him after helping him put away his things.

Yu Feng subconsciously raised his hand to touch the paper bag on his chest, not knowing if Shuang'er would like it, he replied with a smile: "Oh, I bought two."

There was some mockery in the woman's eyes, and she moved closer to him and said in a low voice: "If you choose so carefully, the pair you receive must be happy, and will live up to your sincerity."

Yu Feng understood that she probably didn't take his previous explanation to heart, and still misunderstood completely, he said a little helplessly: "Auntie, you really misunderstood, I really just sent a thank you gift."

The earnestness of what he said made the woman a little dubious, the girl's makeup jewelry is the most expensive, even the ones on the stall cost a lot of money, even the family is reluctant to buy one or half a piece on weekdays Well, this kid is still poor now, isn't his sweetheart really willing to give up so much money?

On weekdays, the folks accepted someone's favor, but it was just a few servings of food, and it would cost such effort and money, she thought that this person was probably interested in that pair.

The other party didn't ask any more questions, so Yu Feng took her as a believer, leaned back and half sat on the carriage to rest, his legs and feet were a little weak after running around the town for a long time with his body.

However, he could feel that he was a little tougher than when he was just awake, at least he would not be panting and sweating after walking a few steps, which was a good sign for him.

They didn't make them wait too long, and the rest of the people came back one after another. Li Liu and his mother were the last to appear. Both of them were holding things in their hands, with joy on their faces.

As soon as he saw them, Yu Feng silently moved to the side, trying to minimize his sense of presence, but then he still felt a gaze falling on him, he half-downcast his eyes and didn't look back.

Li Liu put his things on the car, turned his head to look at the man, under his gaze, the man didn't even dare to lift his head, he was useless, he sneered, but he couldn't hide the complacency in his eyes.

His eyes glanced at him a few times, only to feel that the clothes on his chest seemed to be stuffed with something bulging, and the bottom of his eyes flashed, most of the objects he wanted to give to him were hidden there.

Now that there are so many people, he wouldn't take them out. Li Liu looked back, sorted out the things on the car, and silently thought about how to answer the absolute question. He is a twin who wants to marry. He will not accept gifts from other men with admiration.

When we went back, the ox cart was a bit more crowded than when we came. After all, everyone had bought a lot of things, and they were piled up in the middle, leaving only a narrow edge for people to sit on.

Yu Feng felt that his butt was about to split apart during the bumpy journey, his waist and eyes were hurting, and his bones were so crisp that they were about to fall apart.

He put his hand on his waist and rubbed it, and moved his body slightly to relieve the numbness of his legs. He only felt more tired than he used to after a whole day of intensive training.

He was not relieved until he saw the familiar village entrance from a distance, jumped off before the car stopped, stood on the spot and turned around, finally feeling alive.

Followed the villagers to pay Qin Shan the car fare, and when the other party reminded him in a low voice not to forget to pick up his belongings when he turned around, he picked up the big and small bags on the car and dispersed with the crowd.

Li Liu followed behind his mother, glanced at the man who left without looking back, frowned and twitched the corners of his mouth, and didn't even say hello to him, what a fool.

Someone misunderstood his behavior throughout the day, Yu Feng was not very clear about it, he returned home with a lot of things, put them on the haystack in the house, took a break and went to the yard to drink water, by the way Wash hands and face.

At this moment, the red sun in the sky had already started to set, and the Su family probably was preparing dinner, and now they would definitely be kept for dinner if they came to disturb them, so he thought about it and decided to go tomorrow.

Going back to the house, I opened the package with messy items, took out all the items to be put in the stove shed, and touched my newly bought bowls and chopsticks, sighing secretly that I finally don't have to eat with branches.

In addition, he bought cloth towels for washing his face and body, soap horns, washbasins, etc. He couldn't always make do with the things he needed every day.

After putting away the things, I did some calculations and spent almost three hundred cash, of which gifts for Su Yongyue and cloth and cotton accounted for the majority.

He weighed the strings of copper coins, which were much smaller in weight and volume, and he sighed in pain, knowing that spending money has always been like flowing water.

And he hasn't bought anything for food, because Aunt Hefang said before that almost every household in the village raises chickens and grows vegetables, and he can go to buy them if he needs them. The food from the villagers must be cheap, fresh and delicious.

Thinking of those foods, and smelling the aroma of rice from other places in his nose, Yu Feng suddenly felt hungry. The little thing he ate at noon had already been digested, so let's fill it up first, eating is the biggest meal in the world.
