Go to town again

Zhao Yunlan got up early in the morning to pack her things. Today she will take the Li brothers and sisters to the town to sell baskets and wild mushrooms.

The main reason is that there are several baskets filled with mushrooms, bamboo shoots, eggs and fungus, and the Li brothers and sisters can help carry things together. Originally, Wang wanted to ask Zhao Yunlan to go to the village chief's house to pick up the ox cart for use, but Zhao Yunlan

Firstly, I don’t want to trouble the village chief anymore, and secondly, I don’t want to draw too much attention to myself since the deal hasn’t been completed yet.

Li Mingli carried a large basket to hold the empty baskets, while Zhao Yunlan each carried two baskets filled with vegetables.

Li Mingzhi and Li Mingmei were very excited. They finally went to the town and were in high spirits with their baskets.

Zhao Yunlan carried Xiao Bao, who was still asleep, to the upper room, and Li Mingmei also made breakfast for Old Man Li. The four of them ate pancakes and set off.

It was still dark, and there were a few people like the Li family going to town to sell things at the early morning market on the road. Everyone was carrying things in their hands and carrying baskets on their backs.

This time Zhao Yunlan encountered an ox cart going to town from Dawang Village again, which once again stimulated Zhao Yunlan's desire for carts.

When we arrived in the town, it was already bright. People going to the market were slowly gathering in the town. Zhao Yunlan found an empty place, put things in place, and checked the wild mushrooms. Because they were well preserved, it didn’t count as a day.

It's hot, so it looks fresh.

Fortunately for Zhao Yunlan, there is no fee for setting up stalls in the town. As long as it does not block traffic and does not affect other people setting up stalls, it will be fine after everyone has discussed it. The patrol officers will not care. Qingshui Town has also been

The folk customs are simple and simple, and there are very few cases of fighting over stalls.

Zhao Yunlan told the three brothers and sisters about the price. The basket alone costs fifteen cents. If you want to buy those wild mushrooms, together with the basket, a basket of wild mushrooms costs twenty cents. If you only buy the wild mushrooms without the basket, it costs eight cents for a basket.

Wen. Eggs still cost two Wen each. There are five baskets here containing fungus, mushrooms and bamboo shoots. At first, the three brothers and sisters thought that each bamboo basket was worth the price of a pound of meat, and they were afraid that they would not be able to sell it. Zhao Yun

Lan only said that at this price, don't be afraid. Everyone just listen to Zhao Yunlan's arrangements.

After the explanation, Zhao Yunlan started to shout. Li Mingli had worked in the town several times and had developed his courage. Looking at Zhao Yunlan, he could shout simply and easily, and he also shouted, "Take a look, take a look."

, fresh wild mushrooms, delicious and inexpensive, and the new bamboo flower baskets are light, exquisite and beautiful.”

Li Mingzhi and Li Mingmei rarely came to town, so they couldn't let go for a while, so they had to squat nearby to guard their belongings.

The two's hawking sounds gradually attracted some customers. But when I asked about the price of the bamboo basket, they felt it was a bit expensive.

Zhao Yunlan is not discouraged. After all, the flower basket has been recognized. Customers passing by think that the flower basket is beautiful and easy to hold.

Zhao Yunlan insisted on not changing the price, "Does this sister want to buy a bamboo flower basket?" Zhao Yunlan looked at the little girl wearing a fine cotton skirt and a silver hairpin on her head. Behind the little girl stood a big man wearing coarse cloth.

Girl, I guess which family she is from. She is probably only eleven or twelve years old, but she looks plumper at eleven or twelve years old than her own little sister.

"I want to buy some fungus, how can I sell these fungus?" said the little girl.

"If you don't want the basket, it will cost you eight cents. If you add the basket at twenty cents, our basket will cost you fifteen cents." Zhao Yunlan explained the price.

"Oh! Put on the basket, these fungus are cheaper than three cents." The little girl said in confusion.

"Girl, you can also see that we have a lot of baskets here. Today we are mainly selling flower baskets. If you buy flower baskets, these wild products are cheaper. This flower basket of mine is also a style that is not available on the market at the moment. It is just right for someone like you.

The little girl can carry it. You can also pick some flowers and put them in the basket. Hanging them on the porch will also have a unique charm."

I happened to pass by a rich man here who loved to dance with flowers and grass. When he heard Zhao Yunlan's description of the flower baskets on the porch, he bought two flower baskets. The first order was inexplicably opened.

"Girl, you need to put up the fungus here." Zhao Yunlan continued to talk to the little girl, and the little girl smiled and said: "Hey, let's just put the basket together! This basket is really cute, and it also wears a hair flower, just like your girl's hair

That flower is almost there.”

Li Mingmei giggled shyly beside her, and Zhao Yunlan said: "Young lady, you are joking. The flower headdress worn by peasants is not worth looking at."

"This flower looks quite unique to me. I want these two baskets of fungus."

Zhao Yunlan took the forty coins handed over by the maid, and Li Mingmei gave two baskets of fungus to the maid.

The brothers and sisters were very excited. Four baskets were sold at once. Zhao Yunlan collected the money and felt relieved. Being able to sell it meant that there was still a market.

People came to inquire one after another, and Zhao Yunlan, who did not want to buy, treated him politely, and Zhao Yunlan, who bought, took even better care of him. After standing there all morning, the bamboo baskets were almost sold, and there were only five baskets left.

Lan thought about her previous plan.

"You three brothers and sisters are watching the stall here. I'm going to buy buns for everyone to eat. I'll be here soon." Li Mingmei also wanted to follow Zhao Yunlan, but Zhao Yunlan refused. It was not easy to get evidence of acting alone, but she couldn't.

miss.

When Zhao Yunlan chose a seat in the morning, he deliberately chose a seat far away from the bun shop, just so that he could go to a bookstore near the bun shop to implement his plan.

Zhao Yunlan left alone and hurried to the bookstore. She stayed in the bookstore for a while. Originally, she just wanted to let the bookstore owner have some impression that she had been here. In the end, she was really attracted by a book about the customs and customs of various places in Jiaxiang Kingdom.

The boss was surprised that a woman dressed as a peasant could actually read. Zhao Yunlan was even more surprised when he asked about the price of the book. The book was 800 words. Zhao Yunlan thought to himself that the boss could have stolen the money, but he still gave it to him honestly.

Publish a book.

Zhao Yunlan put the book back silently, and could only wait until he had money later. Now that food and clothing have not been completely solved, don't think about this spiritual food.

Zhao Yunlan left the bookstore, went to the steamed stuffed bun shop and bought four vegetable buns and four mixed-noodle buns before returning to the stall.

"Sister-in-law, we just sold two more." Li Mingzhi said excitedly.

"Everyone is hungry, come here to rest for a while and eat some steamed buns." Zhao Yunlan called to a few children to sit down and eat steamed buns.

Li Mingli and Li Mingzhi happily took the buns and started eating. Li Mingmei hesitated for a while and said, "Sister-in-law, keep this bun for Xiaobao. I only need one steamed bun."

Zhao Yunlan thought to herself that she originally wanted to buy meat buns, but she was afraid that they would be so humble. She didn't expect to keep even a vegetable bun home. When the two boys heard Li Mingmei's words, they immediately stopped talking.

"Everyone, just feel free to eat. We have been very hungry after working all morning. After we sell the baskets, we can buy some meat to go home and eat together." Zhao Yunlan persuaded the three brothers and sisters, and then Li Mingmei started eating happily. It took a long time.

They have never eaten steamed buns made with thin bread. Even without meat, the three brothers and sisters are very satisfied. Zhao Yunlan couldn't help but look at the Li brothers and sisters with an expression of relief.

Zhao Yunlan did not expect that all the baskets were sold. She originally thought that the last three baskets would be carried home, but it turned out that a mother-in-law just needed the baskets and bought them all.

Zhao Yunlan went to the pork stall of Uncle Li's eldest son in the town and bought a pound of pork belly and a pound of fat meat. She also went to the grocery store to buy some seasonings and half a pound of fine salt. The bitter and astringent coarse salt at home was finally

They were almost finished eating, and Zhao Yunlan planned to buy fine salt to eat this time. After buying everything, Zhao Yunlan and the four of them left the market and went home. Originally, Li Mingli planned to visit Li Mingyi's, but looking at the sky, he didn't think so.

It was early and I didn’t go there.
