Chapter 20 Barter
"Oh, your master has the ability to reach the sky. If you think about it here, he will know it there. This is really a fairy." The old lady murmured to herself.

"Well, that's what the master said. He said that he is not suitable to show his face outside, so if there is anything in the future, I have to help with it. This can be regarded as an advance salary for me." Yuansi gave the old man My wife has been vaccinated, so if I go out in the future, I will have an excuse.

"What nonsense are you talking about, kid? Isn't that what you should do for your master? What kind of salary do you need?" The old lady hurriedly poohed three times on the ground, afraid that the immortal master in the distance would blame her.

"Hey, it's okay, my master treats me well." Yuansi continued to make up the corners of her mouth.

"No matter how good you are, you can't be big or small, do you hear me?" The old lady lectured people with a serious face.

"I heard it, I listen to mother." Yuansi lost her temper.

"Listen to me for everything, you should listen to your master." The old lady hurriedly asked her to change her words, her pair of triangular eyes were still looking around the room, afraid that her master would hear her daughter's disrespectful words, and she was getting angry But it's not good.

Yuansi listened to the music, so in the final analysis, she still listened to it.

"Well, listen to my master." This time the nod was very affirmative.

"Okay, you go wash your hands and face, and mother will bring you porridge, you must be hungry." The old lady was about to go to the kitchen with her bag.

"Hey, mother, don't we have fish? Just eat this tonight." Yuansi thought of the green porridge and felt that the tasteless grilled fish was actually delicious.

The old lady glanced at the dozen or so fish on the table, all of which were cooked, and she just wanted to say that it was too late to cook, "That's okay, you can eat a fish with porridge, and I will give the rest to you." Put it away, it’s not good to eat too greasy at night, I’ll save all of these for you to eat tomorrow.” The old lady said, afraid that she didn’t have enough to eat when she was a girl, so she quickly rolled up the burden skin and put the grilled fish on the table They took it all away.

Yuansi was very speechless, she said that the fish is in unlimited supply, why is the old lady so stingy, "Mother, there is only one fish, but this fish was not sprinkled with salt when it was grilled, how about you give some?" Money, I’ll go buy some salt and dip it in.” She was convinced that some people would live to such an extent that all the food could be cooked in one pot to save firewood, and they never ate stir-fried vegetables in order to save oil and salt.

"You girl, when did you become so snarky? Some food is good, but you want this and that, how can you have money?" The old lady was not happy when she heard that it would cost money, "Besides, this big The canteens are all open, and the government says that people are not allowed to cook by themselves. Why do you buy salt under the noses of others, and people ask you why you buy salt? What do you say? This is not to tell people that you have hidden it Food, hurry up and stop."

Yuansi is aggrieved, what kind of world is this, it is so difficult to eat delicious food.I feel aggrieved in my heart because I'm poor, I don't have a penny in my hand, and I have to ask others for money to buy everything, so let's not mention this feeling.

Hey, at this moment, she deeply felt her own poverty, how difficult it is for poor people to eat the meals they like.It is not enough for her to get the ingredients, and she has to continue to work hard.

In order to eat, Yuansi also worked hard. From the next day, she stopped swaying around when she went to mow the grass during the day. She worked a lot more seriously. After completing the task quickly, her little eyes began to scatter everywhere. Branches As long as she can burn it, she picks it up at home, and at night, she is very active in pinching braids with the old lady, because so far she has found that only through this way can she earn a little money.

Finally, after persisting for more than a week, she successfully braided her own braid.

But after all, she is a novice, and she made some twists and turns in order to exercise her mental strength. The old lady shook her head after reading it, and gave a pertinent evaluation.If this braid is sold at a buying station, it must not be given [-] cents, at most it will be [-] cents.

Yuan Si looked at her masterpiece over and over again, but finally she could only admit with a sigh that she, a person in her 30s, made up a defective product.

Some Yuansi, who was hit hard, finally decided not to go to the buying station to sell, and just exchange some salt with the seller at the door of the house.Even if someone saw it, it should be regarded as a child's play, so it should not be a big problem.

This place is remote, and apart from a consignment agency at the head of the village, there are also sellers who come here to carry burdens from time to time.Many people save two eggs and it's not worth traveling all the way to the county, just waiting for the salesman to come over and exchange needles and brains with him.

The business scope of the salesman is very wide. Basically, he also accepts the things bought by the buying stations, and he also sells the small things sold by the supply and marketing cooperatives.

Yuansi had seen the villagers barter, so when she heard the voice of the shopkeeper hawking at the door, she hurried out with her masterpiece.

The shopkeeper carefully checked the braids she pinched, then shook his head, "You can't sell this for twenty cents, I'll give you eighty cents at most, if you sell it or not, I'll give you the money if you sell it. It’s fine if you don’t sell it.”

Yuansi glanced at him, because she was bullying her because her child was young, and her mother clearly said that she could sell it for twenty cents.Well, it is said that people these days are really not evil-hearted, she thinks otherwise, there will be no shortage of treacherous and cunning people at any time.

The little girl also has a temper, she dragged her things back, if you don't want them, we won't sell them to you.Isn't it just to go to the purchasing station in the county? At worst, she can invite the master out one day, and she can go there.

The shopkeeper didn't expect the little girl to have such a temper, she didn't follow the routine, and seeing that the business couldn't be done, he hurried to make amends.

"Hey, you little girl, you have a really big temper. There is no righteousness in our business. Even if you don't sell it to me, I can't rob you. What are you afraid of? Besides, as long as you made up this thing, I can give it to you This is a high price, if you take it directly to the buying station, I guess they will give you [-] cents." When the salesman was speaking, he still glanced at Yuansi, wanting to see her reaction, before deciding what to say next.

Of course Yuansi was unmoved, "Then you don't have to worry about it, I'm happy with it even if it's fifteen cents."

These words are choking enough.

"Hey, your little girl's words are really unpleasant. Aren't I kind? I really made you a donkey. That's all right, all right, I'll be a good person to the end, how about I give you ten cents, if there is no such thing The price is too high." The salesman said as if he had sacrificed a lot.

Yuansi didn't answer, but stretched out her head to look at the burden he was carrying.

The shopkeeper immediately understood, "If you don't want money, just exchange things with me, and I can give you a little more discount."

"Do you have any salt here?" Yuansi finally asked.

She had already eaten a lot of tasteless fish porridge in the past few days, and she felt like she would vomit if she continued to eat it, so she forgot to eat and sleep and braided her hair just to change some salt.

"Yes, how could it not be." Seeing that she had answered the conversation, the shopkeeper hurriedly took out a bag of salt from the burden and showed it to Yuan Si.
