Little lucky girl with supernatural powers in the farm, becomes rich in business and raises cubs

Chapter 25

Every time the numbers ending in three and nine are the market in Shangxi Town, villagers from nearby villages or merchants and dealers will rush to Shangxi Town on the day of the market.

Put the items you bring in on a load, or spread them out on the ground with a square towel, even if a stall starts to sell.

In the market, there are all kinds of fruits and vegetables, coarse and fine cloth, live fish and livestock, and sachets and rouge. There are also many selling candied haws and candied fruit paintings, and people making small noodles to amuse children.

Stall owners and vendors yelled to attract customers, and people gathered around various stalls to choose their favorite goods.The sound of selling, haggling, laughing, cups clashing, the squeaking of wheels crushing the cobblestone road... All kinds of sounds are intertwined and connected into one piece. fireworks.

Xiao Ruo led the cubs in one hand to prevent the crowd from being scattered and lost. Xiao Xun walked on the side of the street with a dagger in his hand, protecting the three of them from being hit by carriages and horses driving in the middle of the street.

"Sister, look at the sugar painting!" Xiaoyou shook her little hand that was being held, and tried to look diagonally forward with her little head.

An old man was sitting at the corner of the street, with a small wooden table set up in front of it. The wooden table was hollow and concave, with round smooth stone slabs embedded in it.

The old man was scooping up a small spoonful of melted syrup from the side of the wooden table, and raised his hand high to let the syrup flow from the side of the spoon onto the stone slab. With the flow of the syrup, his hand moved quickly to draw graphics. After a while, a little rabbit jumped on the stone slab.

"Sister, you want sugar painting." The big eyes are full of longing, and the heart is soft when looking at Xiao Ruo.

Tzu Chi Tang is not like the Xiao family in Jingzhu Village, Liang Douding has no place to play, let alone playmates.Except that Xiaoruo would read to them the books brought by Xiao’s family and tell them stories in their free time, or Xiaoxun would make them a straw grasshopper for them, the two of them had almost no other entertainment activities, but Xiaoyou and Xiaozhao both She is very obedient, never clamoring for anything, and will help with things that are within her capacity, such as serving bowls and stacking quilts.

Now it is rare for Xiaoyou to say that she wants a sugar painting, how can she refuse it, originally she came to the market today to bring her younger brothers and sisters to buy delicious and fun things, besides, the wages should be spent on Zai Zai Well!
The sugar painting booth is surrounded by children, basically watching the old people's paintings, and few people pay for it.

Next to the sugar painting table is a turntable with various pictures painted on it, including simple ones such as peaches, rabbits, and birds, and complex ones such as dragons and phoenixes. Two cents can be turned once.

Under the envious eyes of the children, Xiao Niao and Xiao Zhao turned the turntable once respectively.

Xiaoyou turned to the homonym of her own name, a pretty bird. The old man first drew a bird with its neck up and singing for Xiaoyou, and pressed a bamboo stick on the painted bird, and the sugar bird stood on the ground. on a bamboo stick.

Xiao Zhao turned to the flower basket.The old man saw that the flower basket was being rolled, and smiled and praised Xiaozhao for his good luck, and he would be promising in the future.

It turns out that this flower basket is the most complicated one in the whole carousel, it is a three-dimensional shape.

I saw that the old man first poured a solid circle on the slate, then drew a larger hollow circle on the outer circle of the solid circle, connected them with sugar juice, and then added lace decoration to the outer circle.Pour again to draw the arched handle, then pour hot sugar juice on the edge of the solid circle again to soften it, and then use skillful force to hold the center of the solid circle, and lift the connected outer ring upwards, and the semi-melted edge of the solid circle will be It is pulled up into the main body of the transparent flower basket.

Using heated sugar liquid as an adhesive, the old man glued the arched sugar handle to the main body of the flower basket, tied a cotton thread stuck to the bottom of the flower basket to a small wooden stick for easy carrying, and made lotus-shaped decorations with dried peanuts. After ten minutes of work, an exquisite and unique three-dimensional sugar flower basket is completed.

The whole body of the small flower basket is yellowish red, and the solidified sugar silk is crystal clear, refracting the sunlight, making the sugar flower basket more like glass, not just sugar syrup.

Seeing the candy flower basket carried by her younger brother, Xiao Niao was very envious, and wanted to transfer one, but thinking about it, she only had ten cents for pocket money, and her sister paid for it just now, if she wanted to transfer it again, she would have to pay for it herself. He also promised to bring back delicious food for Grandpa Cen, so the ten cents must be spent carefully.

Thinking of this, she patted the small pouch she had hidden in her clothes, and decided to save it.

The little girl's chubby face couldn't hide what was on her mind, all the twists and turns in her mind showed on her face.Xiaoruo looked amusedly at her showing envy for a while, and frowning for a while, finally made up her mind and patted her belly, nodding her head with a serious face to affirm herself, it was so cute.

After buying sugar paintings, the four of them continued to stroll along the road, and bought snacks such as glutinous rice cakes, candied haws, and cake tubes one after another, which made the stomachs of the two little guys more and more round.

Although Xiao Niao was thinking of saving a few words just now, she looked at this one as if it was delicious, and at that one she thought it was fun, she wanted everything, and before she knew it, her little purse was deflated. They were all replaced with glutinous rice and sesame biscuits and little monkey noodle men in their hands.

Xiaozhao counted expenses all the way, the sugar painting was paid by his elder sister, and later he only bought a small noodle figure for four yuan, and now he still has six yuan.He looked at Xiaoruo's sun-tanned face, and then at the sugar stand a few steps away.

Pulling the elder sister's hand to tell them to wait here for a while, Xiaozhao ran to the sugar water stand, raised her head and asked the boss: "Boss, is the sugar water worth two yuan a bowl?"

"Yes."

"There are four of us, but I only have six Wen. Can you sell us four bowls of sugar water, and count me Liu Wen?"

The sugar water vendor did not expect that the kid in front of him, who was only a little higher than his knees, could not only count the money, but also counter the price, which was very fresh.

"My profit from this sugar water is meager. I'll lose money if I sell four bowls for six cents!"

"Then if I help you recruit two guests, can it be worth two pennies?"

"You still attract customers?" The peddler asked in amazement. It was the first time he encountered such a young milk baby who could think of using this method to offset the money for sugar water.

"I will, boss, do you agree?"

"Success, if you really help me attract two guests, I will charge you a penny less, and four bowls of sugar water will count as five pennies for you!"

After negotiating the price, Xiaozhao really stood in front of the sugar water stand and began to solicit customers.

He didn't yell like other stalls, but quietly observed the people coming and going on the street, and after a while, he saw him walking towards two young women.

"Hi sister, my name is Xiaozhao." He walked up to the two women and introduced himself.

"Ah, little brother, are you calling us?" The woman looked at the child blocking their way in surprise. They had never seen this child before. Could it be that they recognized the wrong person when they were stopped suddenly?

"Yes, sister, I see that you have fair skin and look like a fairy, so I want to talk to the fairy sister."

How can a woman be unhappy when she is called a fairy sister, let alone such a smart and cute child, the two of them hadn't had a few seconds of fun when the little boy in front of her spoke again.

"The sun is so bright today, sister fairy is tired from walking, why don't you come to the sugar water stand here and drink two bowls of sugar water to replenish your water, sister fairy will definitely look more moist and beautiful after drinking sugar water!"

This little guy's mouth is probably made of honey, how can the words he speaks sound sweeter than drinking sugar water!

The two of them were amused by Xiaozhao's words, and they were a little tired after walking around for a long time. Just like the little guy said, going to this sugar water stand to drink two bowls of sugar water is not bad.
