Chapter 20: Wedding without a dowry?

Chapter 20: Wedding without a dowry?
Ning Caicai was a little hesitant after hearing this: "A-mei, do you want to set up a stall? It's not impossible... just... I haven't set up a stall..."

Her personality is completely inherited from Liu Chunhua, she is weak and docile, and she usually just follows Ning Dani and the others when she comes to town, and she has no idea.

Ning Xianxian said with a smile: "Let's not yell and do business. If it's there, anyone who wants to buy it will naturally come."

"OK then."

Ning Caicai dotes on her younger sister, although she hesitates in her heart, she still obeys her wishes.

So the two of them found a piece of felt cloth, and Ning Caicai spread out the cloth she had wrapped her needlework with, placed it on the felt cloth, and then put some handkerchiefs, purses, fan pendants and other things for needlework and threading on it.

Ning Caicai was squatting behind the stall, anxiously waiting for the customers to come to her door, when she saw her sister take out a small package from the pocket of her padded jacket.

She asked curiously: "Xianxian, did you also bring something to sell?"

"Yeah, it's really nothing, look—" Ning Xianxian opened the package, revealing a small stack of steaming thin shepherd's purse omelets inside.

"Ah, isn't this the cake you asked your mother to make this morning?" Ning Caicai was very surprised, "I thought you were going to eat it yourself, why did you bring them all?"

"I didn't eat it myself, I brought it to sell." Ning Xianxian also put the pancakes on the stall, and said with a smile, "Let's see if anyone buys them."

"Will anyone buy this?" Ning Caicai questioned, "Besides, it's so cold today, the pancakes will get cold in a while, why don't you eat them yourself."

This kind of wild vegetable stall cake is not a rare thing. Rich people don't eat it rarely, and people without money will not spend money to buy this kind of food.

Ning Xianxian smiled embarrassedly and said, "I don't want to eat it. Let's try it out."

Having said that, she is very sure that someone will buy it.

This is the last big event at the end of the year. People who have been busy all year round will inevitably go out for a stroll and take their children to buy something.

Almost the moment Ning Xianxian put down the cake, the sharp-eyed and greedy child saw it.

"Mom, I'm hungry!" A six or seven-year-old boy stopped in front of Ning Xianxian's stall, grabbing the woman's clothes.

Judging by the woman's attire, decent clothes, and a few silver hairpins on her head, she should be from a well-to-do family.

The woman looked down and frowned: "Little girl, what are you selling?"

Ning Xianxian smiled and said: "Oh, this is a shepherd's purse omelette, it tastes very good, would you like to buy a piece and try it?"

"you made it yourself?"

"No, my mother made it, and I brought it. It's clean." Ning Xianxian handed over a piece, "Madam, let the young master taste it, if it's not good, you don't need money."

When the boy smelled the fragrance, his eyes lit up, and before the woman stopped him, he took a big mouthful.

The woman was a little angry: "You child, didn't you come out after eating in the morning!"

"I'm hungry again..." The child answered vaguely with a mouthful of shepherd's purse cake.

Ning Xianxian purposely divided the pancake into small pieces, and the boy ate it within a few bites.

"Mom, it's delicious, I want more!" The boy tasted the taste, and pulled the corner of the woman's clothes coquettishly.

The woman had no choice but to say to Ning Xianxian: "Little girl, how do you sell these pancakes?"

Ning Xianxian immediately said the price he had thought of: "Madam, a piece of cake is three Wen."

The woman shook her head: "It's not cheap. Then, give me another two yuan."

"Okay." Ning Xianxian happily wrapped two cakes in oiled paper and handed them to the woman.

The woman counted nine coins and gave it to her: "Counting the piece my son ate just now, it's nine coins in total."

"Ma'am, I just said that I gave it to the young master to taste, and I can't take money."

Ning Xianxian returned three Wen coins.

There was a smile on the woman's face: "It's such a cold weather, it's not easy for you kid to sell things here, take it."

In the end, he left three pieces of money and led the boy away.

People going to the market come and go, and what happened here has long been seen by many people.

I haven't seen anyone who sells things and doesn't want to take money!
Look at the seller again, it's a chubby little girl, if it wasn't for her fair skin, she would be a bit ugly.

It seems a little silly.

There will never be a shortage of people who like to take advantage of small things. Immediately, a man in his thirties came over and said with a smile: "Little girl, give me a piece of this pancake."

"Hurrah!"

Ning Xianxian looked at it with a silly smile, rolled up a piece of cake with oiled paper, handed it out, and said loudly, "Uncle, take it, it's a total of three Wen!"

The hand that the man stretched out froze, "Little girl, didn't you say you can taste it for free? I don't know if it's good or not, how can I buy it?"

Ning Xianxian said with a smile: "The young master in front has already tasted it, and he said it was delicious!"

"He said it was delicious, but I didn't eat it. Maybe I don't like it?"

"Uncle, are you married yet?" Ning Xianxian asked suddenly.

The man was stunned: "I'm already this old, so I got married naturally. Why?"

"Before you got married, did you know what your wife looked like?" Ning Xianxian continued to ask.

"No, I don't know." Monk Zhang Er, the man, was puzzled and didn't understand what she meant.

"Then why do you want to marry her? In case she is crippled or foolish?"

"The matchmaker said she wasn't!" The man was a little annoyed, "What on earth are you going to say, are you going to taste this cake!"

"Forget it, sister, give it to him..." Ning Caicai looked a little scared, and wanted to persuade her sister to give him the cake.

"Uncle, don't worry," Ning Xianxian ignored her sister and said calmly, "When you get married, you have to spend a dowry gift, and you can only marry your wife before you can bridal chamber. Why do you want to eat without paying for something? ?”

Hahaha……

The people around suddenly burst into laughter.

The man's face flushed instantly.

Want to have an attack, with so many people watching around, he can't do anything to a little girl.

"I said, are you going to buy it or not?" Someone crossed his arms to watch the excitement, and said with a smile, "You can't afford a piece of cake for three pennies?"

"Who says I can't afford it?" the man said angrily, "Why don't people ask me when I buy something?"

He took out three Wen coins from his padded jacket pocket, put them on the stall, took the pancakes and left.

The people around were overjoyed again.

With the new year under the hood, everyone is hanging out leisurely waiting for the new year. It is very happy to see such jokes.

Looking at the fat girl again, she also felt a little cute.

Immediately, someone came over and said, "Girl, give me two yuan for this cake. I got up early to go to the big market and didn't eat much. I'm hungry now."

"Okay, take it." Ning Xianxian wrapped up two cakes and handed them over with a smile on his face, and took back the six Wen, "Madam, eat while it's hot!"

"Haha, this girl has such a sweet mouth, I'm not lucky to be a wife."

The woman went happily.

They all ran dozens of miles from dawn to dusk to go to the market. It was cold and many people were hungry.In addition, the little girl was interesting, and the pancakes looked fresh, and the twenty or so pancakes were sold out in a blink of an eye.
