"Wow, mother, this street is so lively and there are so many fun things.
As soon as they arrived on the street, Sihu looked very excited and pulled Ye Chuqiu to join someone else's stall.
When Lin Dahu and the others saw this, they also followed with smiles.
Ye Chuqiu walked slowly on the street, feeling the breath of the world.
The shouts of vendors on the street, the voices of customers bargaining, and the sound of silk and bamboo orchestral music coming from somewhere in the distance penetrated her eardrums. Several children rushed out of the alley, holding windmills in their hands.
whizzing by on this street.
This is people's normal life.
"Mom, I also want to buy a windmill."
Lin Sihu's eyes lit up when he saw it.
"You are such a big kid, and you are still playing with windmills?" Lin Sanhu heard this and said disdainfully, "When I was your age, I was already working in the fields."
"What's wrong with playing with windmills? Stop bragging in front of me. My eldest brother and my second brother have already said that you were doing a disservice at that time." Lin Sihu didn't give him any face.
"Who said I didn't help?" Lin Sanhu raised his neck and blushed, "Although I'm not as good as my eldest and second brothers in doing things, I've done a good job, but unlike you, I know how to play all day long."
"Hey, my mother loves me so much, so you are jealous."
Lin Sihu turned his head and made a face at him, which made Lin Sanhu very angry, but he couldn't do anything.
"Okay, you two brothers, stop arguing. Didn't I give you pocket money? Buy whatever you like."
Ye Chuqiu said something, then looked at Lin Dahu, "Dahu, take Hehua to the cloth store, take her to buy some good cotton, and make a few sets of clothes by yourself."
"Mom, you just bought us new clothes last time. I don't need them." Zhao Hehua said quickly.
"The summer clothes I bought before, isn't it already autumn? The weather will get colder and colder. Let's get the clothes ready quickly to avoid having nothing to wear."
Ye Chuqiu knew that they were frugal, so he added, "When we go out, it's not better than at home. In the past, at home, everyone knew everything about you. If you were poorly dressed, no one would laugh at you. Now when you are out, if you are poorly dressed, others will look at you."
You can't afford it."
"Let's buy what mom says. Just listen to mom." Lin Dahu pulled her, and Zhao Hehua nodded, "Okay, I will listen to mom."
"Go ahead, you two take your kids and go for a walk. I'll take this group of hozens for a stroll."
Ye Chuqiu slightly raised his chin towards them, and the two of them responded and took their children to go shopping elsewhere. Ye Chuqiu took several children and walked around the street.
"What's the price of this windmill?" Ye Chuqiu saw someone selling windmills before taking two steps. She thought of Lin Sihu's words and asked.
"One penny each." Seeing that Ye Chuqiu and the others were not well dressed, the vendor didn't shout much.
"It's just these two pieces of wood and a piece of tattered paper. You still want to sell them for a penny each?" Ye Chuqiu snorted lightly and started to bargain, "Do you want to sell four for a penny?"
"Oh, this aunt, are you kidding me? Four cents a penny is not enough for my paints. Look, I use all the best paper. I spent a lot of money on it. This scholar uses
The paint is expensive.”
The vendor picked up a windmill and spoke to Ye Chuqiu angrily, as if Ye Chuqiu had insulted him by offering this price. However, seeing Ye Chuqiu's unmoved look, he slapped his thigh again and said, "Look at you.
I sincerely want to buy it, so I’ll take two for one penny.”
"It's four cents, you decide whether to sell it or not." Ye Chuqiu lowered her eyelids and looked very calm. Seeing that the vendor didn't say anything, she stepped up and was about to leave.
"Hey, come here, come here."
The vendor waved to Ye Chuqiu, as if he had nothing to do with Ye Chuqiu. When Ye Chuqiu approached, he said again: "How about three for a penny?"
"You're kidding me." Ye Chuqiu was about to leave again, but the vendor stopped her, "Auntie, I'm not kidding you. You see, your family is full of three children, but they can't play with so many windmills, right?"
"Who said that? These four are all my children." Ye Chuqiu also added Lin Erhu, "Don't think he is older, but as a mother, I can't favor one over the other."
"Mom, can I not..."
Lin Erhu was a little embarrassed when he saw the vendor looking at him. He was about to say that he didn't want it, but when Ye Chuqiu turned around and glanced at him, he couldn't say the word "want" and just shut his mouth.
He took two steps back, fearing that others would see him.
"Okay, okay, take it, take it."
Seeing this, the vendor gave four windmills to Ye Chuqiu. Ye Chuqiu handed over a penny. The vendor took the money with a look of great loss.
"Hey, I take care of your business, should you say thank you to me?" Ye Chuqiu said to him.
"Okay, thank you very much."
The vendor responded helplessly, it's hard to do business these days, and you have to wait like this for a penny business.
After hearing him say thank you, Ye Chuqiu left with satisfaction. She handed the windmill to Sanhu, Sihu and Wufeng, then looked at Erhu, "Do you want it?"
"Mom, I don't have to, I'm not a child." Erhu waved his hands repeatedly.
"Okay, let me play with you."
As she spoke, Ye Chuqiu swung the windmill around, and the windmill started spinning. She said with satisfaction: "This vendor's skills are pretty good."
"Yes, this windmill can turn without running."
Sihu also said very satisfied. As the breeze came, he took the windmill and got into the crowd, as if he wanted everyone to see his beautiful windmill.
"Sihu, don't run around, be careful when shooting flowers." Erhu hurriedly chased after him.
With the two tigers watching, Ye Chuqiu didn't have to worry about them. She took the windmill and slowly turned it on the street, asking about prices while walking around.
Prices in Dingyun City are much more normal than those in the previous cities that Ye Chuqiu visited. For example, mung bean cakes only cost 20 cents per catty, and steamed buns, steamed buns and other items, although affected by disasters in other places,
The price has increased slightly, but it is much cheaper than other cities.
A white-flour steamed bun costs three cents, a meat bun costs five cents, and a mixed-flour steamed bun costs two cents.
She had to stock up on such cheap steamed buns. Compared with the prices in the previous cities, it was like giving them away for free.
Ye Chuqiu ordered a basket of meat buns, white-flour steamed buns, and mixed-flour buns. She paid a deposit and asked the bun shop owner to deliver them to Fulai Inn in the evening. She would then pay the full price.
In addition to steamed buns, she also bought a lot of other things. Lin Erhu and others on the side were stunned, "Mom, you bought so much, can we finish it?"
"If you can't finish it, won't you use it for charity?" Ye Chuqiu glanced at them and said.
"All right."
I won’t ask any more questions about the children, as long as you are happy.
However, a few children followed her, and they got a lot of good food. Ye Chuqiu bought everything she saw, and took a few children to eat from the street to the end of the street, just like the behavior of a nouveau riche.
