All the way to the town, Li Tannian found a stall and said quietly to Sanya: "Go and see how other people sell their mats."
Sanya nodded and walked down the long street swinging her short legs. Erbao put the mat at his feet and looked around with a curious look on his face.
When Sanya came back, her little face was full of surprise.
"Thirty-five cents per bed. I didn't expect that a bed of mats could be sold for such a high price."
Li Tannian was not surprised: "I'll sell it at the price you asked for. Don't worry, I won't charge you a penny. No matter how much I sell it, it's all your own."
When Erbao heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Li Tannian. Sanya was a little depressed. After several hesitations, she finally spoke: "Stepmother, I don't mean that at all..."
"Sell things well, count the money clearly, and then give people a seat."
After Li Tannian finished speaking, she served customers in front of her stall.
The business of the sheep and scorpions is getting better and better day by day. Today, there was even a long queue. After all the sheep and scorpions in Li Tannian's clay pot were sold out, there were still many people who had not eaten the sheep and scorpions.
As a result, many voices of dissatisfaction broke out in the crowd. Li Tannian had no choice but to promise everyone that he would do more tomorrow.
On the other side, there were only two mats left for Erbao and Sanya. Li Tannian waited with them for a while, and seeing that there were no more people on the street, he asked them to close the stall and go straight to the mutton stall.
At the mutton stall, they met the woman again!
The woman bought all the lamb scorpions at the mutton stall. When she saw her coming, she couldn't help but said with pride, "You're late."
The mutton stall owner was counting the money. He didn't expect that there would be people vying to buy the mutton scorpion. He was happy and said with a smile: "Yes, girl, you are late."
"Stepmother, she clearly wants to steal your business!" Sanya couldn't help grinding her teeth. She also asked why this person followed them yesterday. It turned out that he wanted to take advantage of their business opportunities.
Not only are sheep and scorpions worthless, but they also taste pretty good. Even a fool can do the sheep and scorpion business.
It's over, it's over, the stepmother's livelihood has been taken away by others, and Sanya is wailing for a while.
Although Erbao didn't understand what was going on, the fact that this man bought all the sheep and scorpions meant that the stepmother could no longer buy the sheep and scorpions. The stepmother could not buy the sheep and scorpions, which meant that the stepmother could no longer set up a stall.
.
Therefore, Erbao looked at the pretty woman with very dissatisfied and hostile eyes.
"Ha!" The pretty woman glanced at the two little cubs, then twisted her waist and walked towards them: "You didn't even ask about the name of my ninth lady, but you actually tried to steal business from me, you deserve it!"
"You!" Sanya almost stared out of her eyes, and Erbao also clenched his little hands.
Li Tannian very calmly pulled the two little beans forward. Sanya watched the woman who called herself Jiu Niangzi walking away, her little face turned blue with anger.
"Stepmother, why don't you hit her? Look at how arrogant she is. She's already so old and twists her waist like that. It's so shameless! She's just a Gushui woman, she really thinks she's rare!"
Li Tannian: Where did you learn these words "······"?
Sanya didn't notice Li Tannian's gaze, but kept cursing to herself: "I'm so angry, she looks like a butterfly at first glance, a restless woman, I curse her for being immersed in a pig cage!"
······
Li Tannian's eyelids twitched fiercely. Seeing her little mouth opening and cursing non-stop, she finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"That's enough, don't say these words again!"
Sanya was a little confused. Just now, the stepmother was not angry because the ninth girl had gone too far. But after saying a few words herself, the stepmother became angry.
What kind of anger is the stepmother angry with?
"Mother Gushui, please don't say that again in the future!" Li Tannian said sternly, and then walked to the meat stall with a dark face.
Sanya felt like she had made her stepmother angry, but she didn't know what she was wrong about. Didn't everyone in the village say so?
She had something even worse to say, but her stepmother didn't give her a chance to say it.
With this thought in mind, Sanya noticed with sharp eyes that the stepmother went to the meat stall and bought two pig heads.
Why did the stepmother buy pig head meat? Sanya wanted to ask, but didn't dare to ask.
When Erbao saw her look, he couldn't help but shook his head. He didn't know either.
After putting the pig head meat in the basket on his back, Li Tannian heard a fishmonger shouting about selling crucian carp.
Li Tannian thought that Lu Zhi still had four small bean sprouts that needed nutrition, so he spent money to buy a few crucian carp. In addition, he went to a tofu stall and bought a piece of tofu, planning to go back and make a tofu and crucian carp soup to drink.
There were no plastic bags in this era. Crucian carp was tied with corn and grass, while tofu was simpler. The boss just wrapped it in banana leaves and handed it to him.
Li Tannian was stunned for a moment, holding the fish in one hand and the tofu in the other.
When Sanya and Erbao saw this, one took the tofu from her hand and the other helped her carry the crucian carp. They almost said in unison: "Stepmother, let's help you get it."
Li Tannian saw the two little guys looking at him aggrievedly, but in the end he said nothing and walked straight towards April Sky Restaurant.
She wanted to see how the eels were selling, but the two little pods didn't ask any questions and just followed her in a muffled voice.
As soon as the couple entered the April Sky Restaurant, the cashier saw her before she could say anything.
But seeing his happy face, he immediately came out to welcome her. While saying that the eels were good, he ordered a bucket of eels from her and gave her a deposit of fifty copper coins.
Li Tannian knew that the eel deal was finalized, so she accepted the deposit and happily agreed.
When I was going out, I happened to see the same candied haws hawker from yesterday.
Thinking of Sanya's greedy behavior a few days ago, she took out a few coins and said, "Give me four skewers of candied haws."
Sanya was stunned for a moment, and then she saw Li Tannian handing the four bunches of candied haws he bought into her hand.
"One string per person, take it."
"Stepmother, do you still know that I want to eat candied haws on a stick?" Sanya smiled, rolled her eyes, and handed a bunch of candied haws to Erbao, immediately forgetting her previous unhappiness.
"Are you going to say those nonsense words again?" Li Tannian raised his eyebrows and looked at her.
"Don't say it, don't say it." Sanya nodded repeatedly. Although she didn't think she said anything wrong, since her stepmother asked her not to say it, she wouldn't say it.
After Li Tannian got the affirmative answer, he was finally a little satisfied and led her to the entrance of the market to ride an ox cart.
So, at the market entrance, Lao Gentou, who had been worried about the Lu family's children for several days, saw this horrifying scene again: Li Tannian was laughing and talking in front with a basket on his back, Sanya and Erbao were behind with candied haws on their hands,
He echoed in agreement.
If he remembered correctly, yesterday, this woman bought pancakes for her four children!
Is Lu Zhi’s wife really getting better?
Lao Gentou thought, and when he looked at Li Tannian, he felt much more pleasing to the eye.
At noon, the three ladies finally arrived home.
Li Tannian went to braise the pig head meat on the stove. Sanya handed the candied haws to Lu Dabao and Xiao Sibao, and talked about how she and Erbao were selling mats.
Lu Dabao didn't expect that the mats in the town were so expensive, and he didn't expect that Li Tannian really didn't want their money for the mats.
In order to calm Li Tannian's anger, he deliberately asked Erbao and Sanya to sell mats with her.
He thought simply, if she really wanted the money, just give it to her. This family still needs Li Tannian, and she can't let him run away in anger at this juncture.
"Brother, I told you that the stepmother doesn't care about your money. Eat the candied haws on a stick, the stepmother bought this for us." Sanya raised the candied haws in her hand, lowered her voice, and said proudly.
