Chapter 28 Selling Fruits
Chapter 28 Selling Fruit
Just as Mrs. Liu was chatting with Uncle Zhang, they had already arrived at the edge of the market. Uncle Zhang pulled the reins of the carriage and stopped.
"Ms. Liu, there are too many people in this market. If my carriage goes in, it won't be able to get out, so I won't take you inside."
"We can just unload our things here. Uncle Zhang, thank you for bringing us back. Thank you so much." Ms. Liu came down with Xiao Xi in her arms and quickly thanked the man.
Uncle Zhang waved his hand: "Just passing by."
Their family has to make some money every day by running around delivering things to people.
Uncle Zhang helped them unload their things and drove away in the carriage.
Mrs. Liu carried Xiao Xi and walked inside. After walking a few steps, she turned back. There were too many people. If she squeezed in, it would be difficult to carry the meat with her.
"Xie'er, there are too many people in this market. It's hard to bring our meat inside. How about selling it with my mother on the roadside? Many people go to the market and go back through this road. Wait for us to sell some.
How about we go out and carry it to the market then?"
"Okay, I listen to you."
Mrs. Liu smiled after hearing this and rubbed her daughter's head.
Spread the oil paper on the side, take out a large piece of salted snake meat and put it on it. In this weather, it will be easy to spoil if you don't add salt, but it doesn't matter if you add salt. It has been marinated for a day or two.
You won’t have to pickle it again when you go back.
After finishing all this, the mother and daughter sat on the side of the path and rested, waiting for someone to buy something.
Seeing that Liu's lips were chapped, Xiao Xi took out a big apple from her arms and presented it to Liu.
"Mom, eat."
Mrs. Liu was stunned when she saw the apples. This season, it’s not the season for apples to be on the market yet!
However, she ignored all the magical things about her previous daughter as a matter of principle, so she didn't think about it any more.
"Mom, break the apple open and let us eat it." Mrs. Liu took the apple and was about to break it open. Xiao Xi quickly took out another small one.
"I still have."
"Keep the little one for yourself. My mother and I will eat the big one first. This apple is so red and big that my mother can't eat it alone."
"Mom, don't be polite. Just let me eat. You can eat it." Xiao Xi looked up at the sky speechlessly. Oh my god, I still have to give way to an apple. Although I knew Mrs. Liu loved her daughter, her heart was really tired.
Then just as you were pushing me and I was pushing you, a person came in front of the oil paper between the two of them.
"Little lady, how do you sell these apples?"
Mrs. Liu was stunned for a moment and replied apologetically: "Sorry, we sell snake meat."
"Can I buy your apples for a piece of silver?" The middle-aged man didn't listen to what Liu said at all.
In fact, he wanted to ask where he could buy such high-quality fruit, but it was too abrupt to ask directly.
As a result, before Liu could say anything, Xiao Xi took a bite of the apple.
The man's eyes widened, as if Xiao Xi was eating his apple.
"You...what are you doing? Forget it, just that one, do you still want to sell it? One of them counts as one or two for you."
Xiao Xi frowned slightly. She didn't know much about ancient money conversions, but she also knew that an apple couldn't be sold for so much money.
However, who doesn’t like making money?
She took out another big fruit from her arms and put the two together.
Xiao Xi: "Look, these two fruits, can you give me three taels?"
Man: "Three taels is fine, but I have to attach a condition."
Xiao Xi: "What are the conditions?"
As long as it's not too outrageous, she can agree.
"I want to know where you got this fruit from."
Xiao Xi raised her eyebrows. Unfortunately, I can't tell you this.
