Chapter 8: Buying and buying

"Daughter, do you feel distressed? Not tired, baby growing up in the mountains, what mountain road has not been passed? Besides, this road has been repaired before, and it is much smoother. I'm going to run and sit still. "
When Xiao Yiming finished speaking, he ran away.
Luo Manman was holding the basket, for fear that the two baskets would fall down, "Yiming, slow down, I'm afraid ..." Actually, she was afraid he was tired.
"Well, daughter-in-law, soon, half an hour later we will be in town."
It's not easy. This ravine is very remote. It takes one and a half hours to go to a town. If you take an ox cart, it will be less than an hour.
"Yiming, we might as well take a bullock cart next time." Luo Manman suggested.
"No, daughter-in-law, this ox cart is not cheap. Let's both spend twelve pennies. This can save you money."
Xiao Yiming picked up the towel around his neck, wiped his sweat randomly, and began to quicken his pace and turned back, "Did my wife think I was slow?"
When Luo Manman heard this, he was anxious: "I'm afraid you're tired, don't think about it."
"Oh, my daughter-in-law is so distressed, I'm not tired." The two talked and laughed, and soon arrived in Shilong Town.
At this time, the white rays of the fish belly on the horizon disappeared early, the sky was bright, the rising sun rose in the east, and there was a pink light, and the entire Shilong town was covered with a light red light.


The hazy outlines of the ancient town began to be clear, the cold streets began to be lively, and the streets paved with bluestone slabs began to crowd. There were stalls on both sides of the streets, and the hawkers started to drink and sell their own things.
Xiao Yiming parked the hand truck at the pork stall next to Shilong Bridge, and saw the pork hawker saying, "Yiming, why are you here tonight. This is not the same with a wife."
Smile is ambiguous, hehe laughed.
"Zhu Xiaokang, you have a good business today, you have sold so much." Look at this big piece of pork, obviously missing a corner.
No, this Zhu Xiaokang is a pork dealer in the next village. Usually, in the 13 villages in this mountain, the pigs are basically let Zhu Xiaokang kill and then talk away for a good price.
Zhu Xiaokang is thirty years old. He has two daughters-in-law in his family. He fights for justice and loves to joke. The arrival is very good. His income is stable. He rented this stall in Shilong Town for a long time. There are stable sources. comfortable.
Xiao Yiming and he are very familiar. Every time he goes to the town, he will park the flatbed next to his booth and ask for care.
"Yeah, today's business is good, but it's also clear that I left you a few ribs. When you go back, you will take the younger brother to supplement." Zhu Xiaokang began to return to normal, generous.
"How about that? You sell it first. Xiaokang, it's not too old, I won't be with you anymore, I have to hurry to find a stall."


Xiao Yiming said as he took down a basket, and when Luo Manman was about to pick up another basket, he said quickly: "Daughter, let's sell groceries first. Let's take this and wait for it."
"Oh." Luo Manman withdrew his hand awkwardly, smiled at Zhu Xiaokang, and followed Xiao Yiming far away.
"This Xiao Yiming's daughter-in-law is a bit interesting. It seems to have some meat. It seems that Brother Xiao has not treated his daughter-in-law."
The two walked on the street, and two rows of rows of shops opened on the street. When Luo Manman stalked behind Xiao Yiming, he did not forget to admire this ancient market, which was quite lively.
The town is quite big. The two walked across the street and finally found an empty stall to settle in.
"Sister-in-law, that's it. It's a bit late today. There is no good place." Xiao Yiming took a woven bag from the basket and laid it on the ground, then poured the small wooden products out of the basket.
Small wooden spoons, wooden shovels, wooden bowls, wooden combs, wooden spice boxes ... scattered around.
As soon as Xiao Yiming arrived, he took out another woven bag, spread it on the ground and sat down, beckoning to Luo Manman; \ "Father, don't stand there, come sit down."
"I'm not tired, please sit down." Luo Manman looked around at the stalls nearby. Which one didn't have a neatly arranged table, as Xiao Yiming placed it, the price of the goods would not drop.
The funny thing is that Xiao Yiming is selling cabbage next to him ...


Nearby hawkers snarled and said, "Sell vegetables, fresh Chinese cabbage. I picked them from the ground in the morning. It ’s not delicious, but I do n’t want any money. "
"Gourd candies, crunchy and delicious candied fruits, a string of three texts." Luo Manman watched, and all the people set up their stalls.
"Yiming, why don't you sip?" Luo Manman wondered how to sell these things.
"Father-in-law, this is not food. What does Fein's throat do? Are you tired? Sit down. When the stall is closed, I will take you to the clothing store to buy some clothes." of.
Luo Manman was sore in his heart, and just when he wanted to talk, he saw an elder lady with a vegetable basket standing at the booth and squatting down: "Boy, how much is this rice spoon?"
"Ma'am, it's not expensive, only five pennies." Xiao Yiming smiled kindly.
"This is five words. It's more expensive, and the style is not very good."
"Let ’s do it for you ..."
"Hey, sister, how about buying a spoon? Are there many people in the family?" Luo Manman could not help but interrupt.
How cheap is Wuwen Qian? I thought that Xiao Yiming was so meticulous in handicraft.


Luo Manman's flesh hurts, her eyes flashed, there was such a stance, let go of those wooden products, and let me come.
"What is this little lady?" Aunt was wearing a dark red dress with a simple style.
"Ma'am, this is my wife." Xiao Yiming answered.
"Little daughter-in-law can talk. I'm more than fifty. What about calling my elder sister?"
It seems that this woman is the same from ancient to modern times, and both love beauty and listen to good words, this is not easy.
This dress is neat and generous, at first glance it seems that the family is well off.
Luo Manman smiled familiarly: "No, older sister, don't you say, I thought you were less than forty? Too young, yes, older sister, you can see that this rice spoon is practical, the edges are smooth and smooth, full It is purely manual, and Wuwen is already very cheap. "
"This, but I still think it is expensive?" Auntie embarrassed her.
"Let ’s go, ma'am, one wooden bowl, one rice spoon, two small wooden spoons, one wooden spatula, one condiment, which just happens to be fully equipped in the kitchen. The original six were for 42 texts. Seeing that the elder sister is so real, just take it You have 36 texts, six or six days. This number is auspicious, anyway, it's all used. Is it cheaper? "
The elder sister hesitated, but couldn't hold Luo Manman's enthusiasm. She gritted her teeth and said, "Oh, well, it's so real for your little daughter-in-law, it's all needed, anyway, there are many people in the family, they all need to use it."
"Oh, sister, I'm so refreshing, I'll put it in the vegetable basket for you."
"Sister-in-law, this is 36 pennies. You count." Madam took out a bunch of copper plates from the money bag and counted them.
Luo Manman received the copper coin, and Xiao Yiming let out a smile in his arms: "What is this count? Seeing the real elder sister is definitely not without me."
Just now when the auntie was counting money, she visually checked the copper coins, which was almost the same.
"Ah, your little daughter-in-law is too good at talking, and my aunt will patronize you next time."
"Okay, eldest sister, walk slowly, use it well, and come again next time." After Luo Manman looked away, he saw Xiao Yiming's mouth wide and glared at her.
"What's wrong, Yiming, is it that I'm selling less?" Luo Manman touched his head, a little hesitant.
"It's not your wife. You are too good. You sold 6 at a time. I usually receive a maximum of 25 essays. Never sold so much at once?"
Did he pick up Bom? Unexpectedly, the little daughter-in-law who usually answered shamefully could say so, he said that he wanted to dig out copper plates to buy things.
"Looking at how hard you usually do these wooden jobs, let alone doing a good job, I can't bear to sell them cheaply?" Luo Manman pursed her lips with a smile, squatted down, and sorted out the pile of wood products.
During the period, they stopped for two more people. Luo Manman saw someone approaching and shouting with a clear voice: "Don't miss it when you pass by. You only need to eat 15 treasures in the kitchen and 36 treasures in the kitchen. You can earn it when you buy it. Products, take a look at them, not practical, not money. "
Although Luo Manman was inconspicuous and black and thin, but his voice was crisp and loud. Originally, just passing by the crowd looking at the booth, some people began to wonder: "Little girl, what is the three treasures of eating, this word sounds so fresh. "
"Uh, this is the three treasures for dinner." Luo Manman picked up a small rice spoon and a small spoon, picked up a small wooden bowl, and made a playful wave.
