Jiaohua Growth Guide [Rebirth]

A catty of high-quality pork is about fifteen yuan, which is not expensive for rich people, but it is not affordable for most families in the town.

As soon as the little girl yelled out these words, Gu Ci immediately said to the woman who was cutting the meat: "Hey, Miss Gu, wait a minute. Did that little girl really mean what she said just now?"

"Of course." Without waiting for Gu Ci to speak, the little girl immediately said, "I am her younger sister, and I am in charge of all our family's money. Does my aunt count if what I say counts? You go to the stall over there. Buy ten lanterns, and I will ask my sister to cut a catty of pork for you right away."

"Then I'll go and have a look at your lantern first." Seeing that she was speaking in a serious manner, the woman glanced at the lantern over there. The lantern was turning around in front of my eyes. Looking at the peonies in full bloom on the lantern, I felt happy, and I was moved to buy it. I turned my head to look at the little girl, and then went to Gu Ci, "Sister Gu, your family is so happy." The lanterns are quite beautiful, how can they be sold?"

"Auntie, you really know how to choose. This peony is the king of flowers, which symbolizes great wealth and wealth. This meaning is very good, but the price is slightly more expensive. Look at the paper of our lanterns, it is also very good. At night Put it in the river outside, and it will surely flow east all the way into the blessed land, and bless you with prosperity this year. Therefore, the price of a twelve coin is really not expensive."

Twelve coins for a lantern, the little girl really dares to sit on the ground and raise the price.

Gu Ci, who was robbed of the conversation again, looked at the little girl's thin lips and was stunned by the nonsense she made up.After regaining consciousness, he quickly looked at the woman again, for fear that people would think that his little girl was doing business intentionally on the [-]th day of the lunar new year, and she was not sincerely doing business at all. After all, there were no shops in the town that actually bought these lanterns. It's so expensive.

However, to Gu Ci's surprise, the woman was not angry when she heard the price, and even had a little smile on her face, "You can talk a lot. No wonder you said you bought ten lanterns as a gift." A catty of pork, your sister's catty of ordinary pork only costs twelve cents."

The little girl saw some people looking this way again, her eyes rolled, and the little pear dimple on her mouth was sweet, and she said calmly: "Auntie is wrong if you think so, the value of this pork today is not worth it." Compared with the lantern in your hand, if you eat less meat, it will make you thinner at most, but if you want to lose this lantern today, you will have less blessings."

The woman was taken aback for a moment, then covered her lips and laughed, "Look at your ghostly appearance, I don't know who you have learned from this clever mouth."

"My daughter-in-law Dapeng, you are wrong. This little girl is the pastry little Xishi I told you about. Her mouth, I have been in the town for so many years, and I have never seen anyone with such a mouth." I will say it. I see, the little girl is born with it, and this skill cannot be learned."

"I think so too." While the little girl was talking to the woman, some women came over to join in the fun, and many of them recognized the little girl, but they didn't know that the little girl belonged to Gu Ci's family. Seeing that both of them were there now, the woman who often came to buy meat was a little familiar with Gu Ci, so she couldn't help but jokingly said: "Look at your elder sister who is a taciturn person, not as good as your little girl. Fortunately, it's not your little girl who sells pork here, otherwise everyone will be fooled into buying more by her."

"That's right. My old lady goes to the pastry shop to ask for auspicious words every year at the end of the year. Now she will feel anxious looking at those pastries at home."

"However, don't tell me, these lanterns are really beautiful." During the time when everyone was joking around, some of the younger women who had just started their families also lifted up the lanterns and looked at them, feeling a little moved.

"Although it's a bit more expensive, it looks good to me. It's just that you have to buy ten pieces to get a catty of pork, so I'm afraid I won't be able to take advantage of such a bargain." The woman at the beginning continued to ask Gu Ci to help her cut. After eating the meat just now, I counted twelve copper coins from the purse and gave it to the little girl, "As for what you said just now, my aunt must buy one back."

"Auntie didn't buy it because of my words. It's a blessing to go to your house." The little girl quickly collected the money, then turned to look at the remaining women, "What kind of suit do you aunts and sisters-in-law want?" ?”

"That's right, it looks like I really can't afford to buy this lantern today."

"Our tofu Xishi just said a wonderful saying, this meat-free, it just makes people thinner, but if it doesn't have lanterns, it's a lack of blessing. I'll use the meat money to buy lanterns today."

"I see that this idea is not bad, Miss Gu, you only need a hoof today, no meat, the money for the meat will be used to buy lanterns..."

Gu Ci: "..."

It's hard to believe that her serious pork shop was robbed of business by a temporary lantern stall?

Gu Ci looked at the pork shop where he had only sold a leg of pork in an hour, looked at the sun, and then looked at the stall where the little girl was about to collect. He couldn't recover for a long time, "Those lanterns that were tied up are the same. ...is it sold out?"

The little girl didn't want to talk to her at first, but seeing her sister's pork left over half, she felt a little pitiful for her sister who couldn't speak nice words, "No, those bamboo sticks tied four hundred big lanterns, There are also 180 small lotus lanterns for blessing. I was busy there yesterday and only drew [-]. I went to draw [-] this morning. Take it and sell it."

Gu Ci nodded, seeing them packed up their things, and then looked at his pork shop, feeling a little worried, "Then are you going back now?"

The little girl was looking down at the small cloth bag she was carrying across her shoulders, but she didn't lift her head when she heard the words, "I'll let Aru take them back first, and Abao and I are here to help you sell them, otherwise you might not be able to sell them today." It's over."

As soon as the little girl said this, the lady proprietress in the opposite shop burst out laughing, and teased Gu Ci: "Miss Gu, don't try to be brave, I think you have more meat left over today." If I want to sell it, I'm afraid I really have to count on this little girl of yours..."

The proprietress covered her belly and laughed again, "Hey, no, I'm going to die from laughing...Look at the one we come here, they are all selling these poultry meat, and the people who come here are not some big families The women in charge of the house are some women who are in charge of the house, who would have thought that your little girl would set up a lantern stall in this greasy place, and these romantic things could steal your business..."

"..." Gu Ci silently pursed his lower lip, picked up the meat on the wooden board, turned his head to look at the little girl who was still weighing the small cloth bag, and then looked at Aru and the couple behind her. A little sister leaned over to the little girl and whispered to her: "Aru and her little sisters have helped us a lot today, give Aru some money and let her take them to buy Some snacks."

The little girl was a little displeased, "I... I gave them a lantern for each of them, and each lantern costs ten yuan."

Gu Ci glanced at her bulging purse, "It's your kindness to give someone a lantern, but they just sold lanterns for you, and it's polite to treat them to something to eat. Besides, your lantern is worth twelve cents , earned almost half of it..."

The little girl closed the cloth bag and settled the accounts with her with her fingers, "Then... that's what I drew, too. I bought the materials for three liang of silver, and now it's only sold for less than two liang. I can't sell them all, I have lost all my money, and I have to give Grandpa Yao a share of the money, this... this is a loss-making business..."

"Who is our little Jiaojiao? How could it not be sold? I think those lanterns are missing."

The little girl didn't respond, but her expression was quite airy. She agreed with Gu Ci's words in her heart. She lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then counted thirty copper coins from the cloth bag, turned around and handed them to Aru, "Thanks to you today." I need you and your little sister to help, we will come out in the evening, and I won’t go back with you later, Aru, anyway, you know the town well, and you will help me buy some melon seeds for everyone to eat later.”

"Little aunt is too polite." Aru didn't answer. When her pastry shop was busy, she would go to help, but it was the first time to set up a stall to sell things like this. It felt very fresh. Still flushed with excitement, "If my mother won't let me come out in the evening, little aunt, remember to come and talk to my mother. If I go to play with others, my mother will talk about it, but when I'm with you, my mother won't say it. You want me to learn more from you."

"It's a courtesy." The little girl forced her the money, "I'll come to you after dinner. There are still a lot of lanterns that are not sold out. Of course, I need your help."

With the little girl's approval, Aru was relieved, so she accepted the money, greeted Gu Ci and Abao, and left with her little sisters.

This meeting has passed a peak time for grocery shopping. There are fewer women shopping in baskets, and the business is naturally not so good. Ah Bao has nothing to do. The nerd took out his book again and sat inside Look on the threshold.

Gu Ci was afraid that he might catch a cold while sitting and reading in such a cold place, so he asked the little girl to watch the shop, then he took A Bao into the shop, boiled some hot water, and filled a pig's pocket to warm his hands, There is a small yard behind the shop, and there is also a small room where people can live. Old man Xu used to kill pigs here, but the sound of killing pigs was too loud, and he was disgusted by the neighbors, and the yard and room were too small, so they were always empty. , but everything still works.

During this period, he didn't hear the little girl calling him, so Gu Ci packed up with confidence and came out. As soon as he came out, he saw his little girl confronting the person with her hands on her hips, saying, "I'm busy selling pork." , I don’t have time to make lanterns.”
