peasant girl allure

Chapter 44
During the slack season, many people came to the city to go to the market. Xiao'er's family waited in line for a quarter of an hour before it was their turn to enter the city. After entering the city, Shen Chengyao searched the streets for a long time, only to find that a middle-aged man had just sold his prey. , is packing up and preparing to leave.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Xiao'er immediately jumped out of the bullock cart with a bag of herbs and took the place.

An uncle who was one step late couldn't help feeling annoyed: "The little girl reacted so fast, I'm closer than you, and I'm not as fast as you."

"I also rely on my small size and flexible body. Uncle, there is also a lady over there who is about to sell out eggs. You should go and wait, or you won't be able to occupy a place."

The uncle listened and looked over. No, it was really almost sold out. He didn't bother to say another word, so he hurried over with his burden. He had already walked around the street twice.

Shen Chengyao helped them move their things into the ox cart and had to leave. He had to find a contractor who he knew when he was working, who specialized in helping people build houses, because he worked together and knew that he was good at craftsmanship and honest. Honest and honest, he never cut corners, so this time he plans to hire him as a contract worker when he builds his own house.

He had to find the elder brother before he went to work, otherwise he would not be able to meet him until he came back from work at night.

Liu carried the little girl on his back, Xiao'er and Jing Rui set the table, and then put a piece of cloth on the table, and put some silk flowers, head flowers, and little puppets on the table.

Next to their booth was an old lady selling bamboo products and her daughter. The little girl stared at their things as soon as they were put on display, and shouted: "Wow, so beautiful!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu smiled at them: "Elder Sister's things are also very delicate."

After hearing this, Xiao'er took a look, and found that there were several flower baskets, and the handwork was indeed very good, the weaving was exquisite, small and beautiful.Xiaoer came up with a plan, "Auntie, how do you sell your flower basket?"

"Is this what you mean?" the woman asked, holding up a basket of flowers.

Xiao'er nodded: "Yes."

"There are three pieces of this flower basket."

Xiao'er saw that there were only five left, so she wanted them all.

The aunt was very happy to see that she bought all her flower baskets at once, and asked her daughter to pick a head flower. The little girl was very happy when she heard that.

Xiaoer and the others have come to their booth and a few people are picking and choosing, because last night the family has negotiated the price of each item, and discussed how to answer the questions that customers may ask, Xiaoer So let Liu be in charge of selling, Jing Hao is optimistic about the booth, don't let others take the sheep, and Jing Rui is in charge of collecting money.

Xiao'er took some silk flowers and dolls behind them and began to fiddle with the flower baskets.Flower arranging is also a technical task. In previous lives, many noble ladies would learn this subject to pass the time. What Xiao'er has to do now is to decorate these flower baskets with silk flowers and then sell them for money.

"How do you sell this head flower?" asked a young woman.

"Because this flower is made of silk, it costs six cents a piece."

"It's so expensive, other houses buy three papers."

"My family's flower style is the first in the entire Minze country. It is a new style that we just came up with. There is no other place. You don't have to worry about it being the same as others when you buy it back. Six coins per flower is already a very good deal."

"Five Wen, I'll buy five Wen."

"She doesn't buy Liuwen, but I will." A girl next to her hurriedly said.

The young woman heard that someone was robbing her, so she didn't counter-offer, "Whoever says I won't buy it, it's six cents, here it is! Take it! This is six cents."

The girl looked at the pink rose unwillingly, snorted softly, and then lowered her head to pick it up. She had already picked out three puppets and five head flowers in her hand. Obviously, the family was relatively wealthy.

The first flower is three yuan for ordinary fabrics, silk and satin are all six yuan, and puppets are thirty yuan for the small ones, sixty yuan for the medium ones, and 100 yuan for the large ones.Although it is expensive, many people still buy it. The most popular ones are small and medium puppets, and the big ones are less popular. The silk flower head flowers are sold out quickly. It is true that everyone has never seen such realistic puppets. The head flowers and silk flowers are simply hard to put down.

Xiao'er finished five flower baskets, and when these flower baskets were placed on the table, someone asked the price, and they hesitated when they heard that they would cost three or two.

These flower baskets Xiao'er are all decorated with silk flowers, and there is a medium-sized puppet on it, including a rascal rabbit, a pink pig, a kitty cat and two Mickey Mouse.The entire flower basket is colorfully decorated, lively and lovely, beautiful and dreamy, many girls like it.

But the price is too expensive, and I can't afford it, so I can only look at it a few more times.

A sedan chair carried by four people was passing by, and the lady inside the sedan chair just opened the curtain and saw those flower baskets, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked her maid to buy all the flower baskets.

The woman in the stall next to her was so red-eyed when she saw that someone actually bought it, she bought a flower basket for three renminbi, and she just put a few silk flowers on it and sold it for three liang of silver. have to throw.

Her daughter bought an ordinary head flower, and it cost only three pennies. Looking at her daughter's head flower, she had a plan. When she got home, she must dismantle the head flower. Her flower baskets came out for sale, thinking of this, she smiled like a flower again.

When Xiao'er and the others were selling in full swing, there were two teenagers sitting in a private room on the second floor of a restaurant opposite.

Seeing Shangguan Xuanyi looking out the window, Di Zhaowei couldn't help but followed him curiously, "It's them! It's really destined. What are they selling? So many people buy?"

"Stuff that girls like."

"Oh, women's money is the easiest to earn."

"What do you think if the puppets below are sold in the Treasure Tower of the Imperial Capital?"

Hearing this, Di Zhaowei's eyes lit up, "Let's not talk about one or two, as long as the workmanship is exquisite and the materials are high-quality, twelve or one can sell well. Those boring women in the imperial capital love to scramble to buy some fresh ones." Toy."

"Little Fuzi." Shangguan Xuanyi called lightly.

"Master, wait a moment." Xiao Fuzi bowed and retreated.

"I didn't expect an ordinary farm family to come up with such ingenious puppet and silk flowers."

common?Shangguan Xuanyi looked at the little girl who was only about seven or eight years old on the street, she had a friendly smile and looked like a spring breeze. She behaved calmly and calmly in the busy city, and her gestures made him feel elegant and charming, but she was obviously just a yellow-haired girl .

Xiao Fuzi came to Xiao'er's bunk and said, "Madam, I bought all the rest of the puppets."

Xiao'er assembled the remaining puppet and handed it to Xiao Fuzi, "Chenghui five hundred coins."

After giving five hundred words, Xiao Fuzi said, "Ma'am, my master has invited some people upstairs to discuss something." After speaking, he pointed to the private room on the second floor with his eyes.

The three of them looked over and recognized the two people they met on the mountain last time.

Xiao'er nodded to Mrs. Liu: "The two people that Dad helped on the mountain last time."

Liu Shi nodded.

"Ma'am, two sons, miss please."

Mrs. Liu followed up with the three younger ones.
