Xiaofubao was pampered in the chronology

Unable to understand Cantonese, Jin Bao and her fourth brother stared blankly at the side.

After Jiang Yun bargained for a while, he told Jinbao, "He said at least [-] cents each."

"Ah?" Jin Bao pursed his lips, "Brother Ah Qiang said it was fifty cents a pair before, so he must have said it was expensive."

After finishing speaking, the little girl thought about it, and said to Jiang Yun, "Ask him, if I buy all the chickens in his coop, can I be considered cheaper? If it's more than twenty-five cents, I definitely won't." bought."

After hearing Jiang Yun's retelling, the chicken seller looked at Jin Bao in disbelief for a while, and asked suspiciously, "I still have twenty-four chicken cubs. Do you have so much money?"

"He said he still had 24 chickens in the cage and was worried that we didn't have enough money."

Jinbao calculated in his mind, 24 chickens, if counted at twenty-five cents apiece, it would be exactly six yuan.

She took out a five-yuan renminbi from her pocket, and she said, "I only have five yuan left, think about whether to sell it or not..."

The chicken seller is an old farmer in his 60s. Although he can’t speak Mandarin, the village head often broadcasts news in Mandarin to let everyone learn to understand Mandarin, so he can basically understand what Jinbao said. understand.

"Five yuan is too little, at least six yuan, no less." After speaking, he specially made a gesture of six with his hand.

Jin Bao pointed to some of the chicks with their heads down and said, "This one, this one, and that one...these chicks are all dying, maybe they will die tonight when I buy them home. It’s gone, and I’m willing to pay five yuan, which is a lot.”

"Are they going to die? These chicks are sleeping..."

In order to convince Jinbao that the chicken was just sleeping and resting, the old farmer stuffed a branch into the chicken coop and poked the chicken, but the chicken didn't move, as if it was dead.

He was stunned for a moment, strange, the chicken was fine before...

Before long, there were more and more dejected chickens, and the cage of chickens that were still chattering became quiet.

"Ah! They won't all be dead, right?" Su Xiaosi exclaimed from the side.

Jin Bao frowned, and said in a soft voice, "Otherwise, I'd better not buy it. If I buy a bunch of dead chickens, my father will definitely scold me."

The old chicken seller was anxious, "No, he must not be dead..."

Before he could finish speaking, seeing Jinbao turned around to leave, he hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Let's go, little sister, five yuan, that's five yuan. I'll give you all the chickens and the coop. Well, how about I send you two more ducklings?"

Jiang Yun and Jin Bao translated his words, "He said he would give you all the chickens for five yuan, the chicken coop, and two more ducklings."

Jin Bao felt that it was not easy for the old man to sell chickens. Although he haggled the price, he didn't say too much. After counting and confirming that there were 24 chickens in the cage, he handed over five yuan and said, "Here you are."

"Jinbao, do you really want to buy it from him?" Jiang Yun was a little anxious, and persuaded, "Why don't you think about it again? These chickens are motionless, as if they are really dead. If you buy dead chickens, The money is wasted."

Hearing this, the old chicken seller quickly snatched five yuan into his hands, stuffed two ducklings into the coop, and handed them to Jinbao.

Jin Bao took the chicken coop, said "thank you", and asked, "Grandpa, how do you sell this duckling?"

"Well, little duckling, if you want to buy it, it's [-] cents for you, how about it?"

Jin Bao understood what he said about ducks costing fifty cents, and thought: It's amazing that ducks are cheaper than chickens!
Probably because the supply and marketing cooperative in the town does not accept duck eggs?Otherwise, ducks are definitely more expensive than chickens, not to mention that duck meat is more delicious than chicken, and duck eggs are also bigger, and as far as she knows, ducks are not easy to get sick, so they are easy to feed...

I feel like a duckling is fifteen cents, and I will sell it by the catty at the market in the county town. No matter how you sell it, you will not lose money. Jinbao didn't bargain any more, and directly offered three yuan, "I want twenty ducklings."

"Oh, okay, okay, I'll count how many ducks are in my cage, wait a minute."

The old man smiled happily, and counted 21 ducks left in the cage, and said with a smile: "[-] ducks, all of them are given to you, and I will give you one. I sold them out early, and I happened to go to the supply and marketing agency to buy a pair of shoes and go home." I gave it to my grandson, whose shoes are too tattered to wear."

"Jiang Yun, what did he say?" Su Xiaosi asked suspiciously.

"He said that there are 21 ducks left in the cage, all of which are given to Jin Bao, and he will give her one."

Jiang Yun was worried about the cage of half-dead chicks in Jinbao's hands, and only translated half of a sentence without continuing.

Su Xiaosi couldn't help asking: "What else? I heard he said to go to the supply and marketing agency to buy shoes?"

"Well, he thought that after clearing the goods, he could go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy shoes for his grandson. His grandson's shoes are broken..."

"Oh, I feel like I can understand a little bit."

Speaking casually, Su Xiaosi mentioned a cage of chicks in Jinbao's hand, "I'll mention it."

Jin Bao paid three yuan and asked, "Can you give me this cage too? Otherwise, I can't get so many ducklings."

"Okay, I made up this cage myself, you can take it away." The old man nodded readily and agreed.

He thought cheerfully: Today is very lucky. I met such a little God of Wealth in the morning and bought all his goods. In the past, he would have to sell from morning to evening.

Even so, he would still have a lot of chicks and ducklings left over after closing the stall every day.

By the time he returns to the village with the unsold chickens and ducklings, his grandson will probably be asleep...

Today he can go home early...

Thinking of this, he looked at Jin Bao with a smile on his face.

Su Xiaosi held a cage of chickens in his left hand and a cage of ducklings in his right, and asked his sister, "Jin Bao, do we still want to buy rabbits? Do you still have the money Dad gave you?"

"Fourth brother, you've been in junior high school, you haven't even forgotten the arithmetic you learned in elementary school, have you? Calculate how much money I have now?"

"Papa gave you ten dollars, and you bought the chick for five dollars, and the duckling for three dollars, and you have two more?"

Jiang Yun said: "We also spent [-] cents on beef offal soup, so there is still one yuan and four."

"That's right, I forgot the offal soup..."

Su Xiaosi laughed and said, "One yuan and four can probably buy a little rabbit."

When he was looking left and right to find the rabbit, Jiang Yun kept focusing on the chickens in his hand, and asked, "Xiao Si, can I help you carry these chickens? I want to see if they are sleeping or sick , don’t call anymore.”

"How many times have you said it? Jiang Yun, you have to call me brother, I'm older than you..."

"Fourth brother, don't push me." Jin Bao said with a smile.

Su Xiaosi curled her lips, "Hey, that's fine, Xiao Si will be Xiao Si."

Reluctantly finished speaking, he handed the chicken cage in his hand to Jiang Yun, then leaned into his ear, and whispered: "You don't have to worry so much, since Jinbao decided to buy these chickens, it means that there is nothing wrong with them. "
