Farmer's counterattack is busy with farming

Chapter 21 Sold Out

A small stack of thin wild vegetable pancakes has turned into a large handful of copper coins.

Ning Caicai, who witnessed the whole process, was already dumbfounded, feeling like she was dreaming.

"Ah, sister, how can you sell it for so much money?" Ning Caicai looked at the rattling copper coins in her pocket, and couldn't believe it.

A pile of shepherd's purse found in the field, a few quail eggs picked up by the roadside, and a few drops of sesame oil.

Can it be sold for sixty or seventy Wen?

Ning Xianxian smiled quietly: "Let's raise the price next time!"

Ning Caicai: "..."

"Girl, bring me two cakes too!" Another customer came to the stall.

Ning Xianxian looked up and saw that she was a kind old lady, and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, old lady, all the cakes my little girl brought are sold out."

"Oh, just now I saw the neighbor's children eat it and said it was delicious and crispy. I want to buy some and take it home for my little granddaughter to taste." The old woman was a little annoyed.

Ning Xianxian said with a smile: "Your granddaughter is really lucky to have a grandmother who loves her like you."

"Hehe, the little girl's mouth is so sweet. There's nothing I can do if it's gone. I'll look at other things."

The old woman turned to leave.

"Old lady," Ning Xianxian called to her, pointed at the needle and thread in front of Ning Caicai, and said with a smile, "This is a handkerchief fan pendant made by my sister, why don't you buy one for your granddaughter to play with?"

The old lady turned around slowly and saw that the veils on the ground were quite plain in color, so she smiled and said: "Does the little girl use such a plain veil?"

Ning Caicai grabbed the corners of her clothes with both hands, Nuonuo said: "I, I think plain looks better..."

Ning Xianxian picked up a dark pink sachet and said with a smile: "Madam, I guess your granddaughter is a lively and lovely young lady. This red purse is suitable for her. It will also be festive during Chinese New Year!"

The old woman looked at it, and found that the red sachet was embroidered with magpies on branches, which was very pleasing.

"Yo, this is not bad, very handsome." The old woman looked at Ning Caicai, "Girl, how much is this?"

"This, this... Let me think about it..." It was the first time Ning Caicai sold something alone, and she didn't think about how much she would sell beforehand, so she stammered and blushed.

She quickly grabbed Ning Xianxian's arm, "Amei, tell me!"

Ning Xianxian had never made needlework before, nor sold it, and didn't know how much it would cost, so he could only say, "About ten yuan?"

"It's a bit expensive," the old woman smiled and took out her purse, counted ten copper coins, put them into Ning Xianxian's hands, and said with a smile, "But this New Year's Day, it doesn't matter if it's a penny or a penny. The girl takes it."

Ning Xianxian quickly caught it, and said with a pleasant smile, "Thank you, old lady!"

Ning Caicai stared blankly at the ten copper coins returned to her hand, "Amei, you are so amazing..."

"It's because of you, Sister, that the sachets you make look good, so you can sell them for so much money." Ning Xianxian said with a smile, "Let's continue to sell them."

"En!" Ning Caicai gradually filled with confidence.

After the matter of the man who was greedy for cheap, many people around knew that there was a little girl with a sharp mouth who was selling embroidery.

When there are many onlookers, it is inevitable that there will be inquiries.

Even if one or two of the ten people who inquired were willing to pay for it, the dozen or so embroidery items that Ning Caicai brought were sold out in no time.

Ning Caicai put all the money in a cloth pocket, counted it carefully twice, then raised her head, and said excitedly, "Amei, if you have another penny, you will have a full penny!"

"Isn't this worth a penny?" Ning Xianxian took out a penny from his pocket, put it in Ning Caicai's hand, and said with a smile, "Sister is really amazing."

"No, it's because you are smart, sister, otherwise I wouldn't be able to sell it for so much money!"

She usually saves two months of embroidery, and sells it to the shop with Ning Dani and the others. Excluding the capital, she can only earn a dozen or so.

The money earned this time, minus the sewing cloth to be supplemented, should still have forty or fifty cash left.

Ning Caicai grew up so big, and never made so much money once.

Her heart was filled with joy.

Ning Xianxian stood up, stretched her waist, and said with a smile: "Sister, it's almost noon, let's go shopping for a while, and then go find Fourth Uncle and the others?"

"Okay!"

Ning Caicai put away the stall happily, put the money bag carefully in the inner pocket of the padded jacket, took Ning Xianxian's hand, and said generously, "What snacks do you want, sister, I will buy it for you!"

Ning Xianxian thought for a while: "Buy some steamed buns to take back?"

"I was thinking about it too. I haven't eaten white flour steamed buns for a long time. I'll buy a few more and give my mother a taste."

Holding hands, the two sisters watched the bustle all the way, found a stall selling steamed buns, and bought ten white, soft and steaming white flour steamed buns.

Ning Caicai took out a steamed bun, broke it open, and gave half to herself and Ning Xianxian, and wrapped the rest in cloth and carried it on her arm.

"Sister, don't you want to buy needles and threads?" Ning Xianxian asked after biting a steamed bun.

"I still have some at home, I'll buy them next time."

Ning Caicai looked around, saw the worn cotton shoes on Ning Xianxian's feet, and said, "How about I buy you some cotton and go back and make you a new pair of cotton shoes?"

"Need not."

Ning Xianxian shook his head hurriedly, "I can still wear these shoes, it will gradually get warmer after the new year, let's talk about it next year."

Ning Caicai patted her head and said softly, "Amei, you really have become a lot more sensible."

Ning Xianxian smiled, but did not speak.

If you have such an experience and are not sensible, you deserve to be calculated to death.

The two walked hand in hand through the place where the meat and vegetables were sold. Ning Xianxian saw an old man with a basket of garlic in his basket, so he knelt down and asked, "Old man, how do you sell the garlic?"

"The little girl wants to buy it?"

The old man seemed to be falling asleep. Hearing this, he raised his eyelids, saw a chubby poor girl in front of him, lowered his eyelids again, and said slowly, "I haven't sold a single head of garlic, girl. If you want, I will take all fifty Wen."

Ning Xianxian smiled and said: "Old man, fifty Wen is fine, but I didn't bring a basket, can you sell me this basket as well?"

"A-mei, what are you buying so many garlic heads for?" Ning Caicai hurriedly stopped her.

Ning Xianxian's cake stall sold a total of 63 Wen, if he bought this basket of garlic, he would basically spend all of it.

But Ning Xianxian insisted on buying it: "Sister, it will be useful for me to buy it."

Ning Caicai felt very sorry for the money, but her sister was wayward, so she had no choice but to say, "Go ahead and buy it, don't say it cost so much money to buy it when you go back, grandma and the others will scold them if they find out."

"Ok, I know."

Ning Xianxian took out a bag of copper coins from his pocket, counted thirteen, and handed over the rest to the old man, and said with a smile, "Old man, count the money, if it is correct, I will take the basket away !"

"Old man, I don't know how to count!" The old man took the money and threw it into the bag without looking at it, and walked away slowly with his hands behind his back.
