Chapter 6 Section 006 Selling Grapes

Section 006 selling grapes

When the ox cart arrived at the gate, He Youbao hurriedly jumped out of the cart.Anxiu suddenly said to him: "Father, actually Yu'er is fine! Shusheng and I have something to ask you!"

He Youbao was taken aback for a moment, but he was relieved. Only Yu'er was fine, so he didn't care about anything. He was originally an honest farmer.He frowned and sighed: "Xiu, aren't you messing around? It made Dad worry to death."

Anxiu smiled coquettishly: "Father, there is a reason for the incident, don't blame me for now."

"Father!" He Youbao had just stepped into Anxiu's room, and He Yuer hugged his waist excitedly.Ever since she was a child, she has never been away from He Youbao for so long.Today was fishing and eating grapes, diverting her attention, children are easily attracted by new things.Now that she saw He Youbao, Yu'er felt her nose sore.

"Yu'er!" He Youbao lifted her onto his shoulders with his strong hands.Yu'er loved to sit on He Youbao's shoulders since she was a child, and now she is eight years old. To the children in the countryside, she is considered a half-grown girl. on the shoulders.

Yu'er giggled on He Youbao's shoulder.

"Father, our family has grapes, a lot of grapes!" Sitting on He Youbao's shoulder, He Yuer pointed to the room full of grapes to show him.

He Youbao was stunned, and looked at An Xiu in astonishment: "Xiu, this is..."

Anxiu smiled and said, "Father, that's why I came to you! I want to sell these grapes in the market. I can't do it without a bullock cart, and I'm afraid that my mother won't agree, so I made up a cover that Yu'er is sick! Don't you Don't dare to do it next time."

"Xiu, where did you get these grapes?" He Youbao put Yu'er down, looked at An Xiu seriously, "Xiu girl, we are poor, but we can't do unclean things..."

"Father, it wasn't stolen!" He Shusheng interjected, he was afraid that his father would criticize An Xiu, so he immediately came to defend him.He has always been like this, but in the past six months, Anxiu has rarely received his favors.Every time he speaks for Anxiu, Anxiu will give him a disdainful glance, thinking she is troublesome!

Sure enough, Anxiu glared at him again, and pulled him back. He was a little kid who kept stealing the adult's lines, which annoyed Anxiu. "Father, I assure you that I didn't steal it. Besides, how many miles have you heard that a family lived in grapes? Even if I did, I wouldn't be able to steal so many!"

This is indeed the truth. There is no large-scale plantation of grapes in Zhuangzi and its vicinity. They all plant vines in the front and back of the house, and the children make snacks for them.

"Then, these grapes..." He Youbao thought about it for a while, and felt that Anxiu's words were reasonable, and it was true that no one in the vicinity had a vineyard—even if there was, the three of them would not be able to steal so much back.But when he thought about it this way, he was even more surprised. Where did the grapes come from?

"Father, don't ask me any more. I won't tell you. Anyway, I won't steal or rob." An Xiu knew that He Youbao was a silent person, and she didn't have much curiosity. No matter how doubtful she was, she would bury it in heart.

He Youbao sighed, and looked at Anxiu and He Shusheng's siblings: "Well, I don't need to ask, as long as you don't come out of the moth." Ordinary people who don't like to talk, their inner acceptance and endurance are better than the average person's. They are all better, He Youbao only needs the three of them to be safe and sound. The things are here anyway, and they are not stolen. He doesn't want to ask more questions.

He remembered the first time he met Anxiu five years ago, in the field ridge near his house, where she passed out.At that time, Anxiu was wearing a yellow robe with golden embroidery on it. He Youbao didn't know much about it, but he knew it was a dragon!In today's world, except for the emperor, no one is allowed to wear bright yellow clothes, let alone embroidered dragons.

But I never heard that the emperor is a woman!After helping Anxiu back home, He Youbao discovered that her robe was so long and big that it didn't belong to her at all, it should have been put on her by someone else.

After Anxiu woke up, she shook her head when she asked her anything, her speech was slurred, her brain was a little sluggish, she couldn't tell where it came from, she could only say her own name.He Youbao wanted to send her to the town's yamen, maybe she belonged to the royal family.But when he got to the gate of the yamen, Anxiu cried and made noises, trembling with fear.

He Youbao is a kind person, he can vaguely guess what.If she could go back, she wouldn't be alone in the countryside in a coma.He looked at Anxiu and felt that she had a kind face, so he left her at home and taught her to do some housework.Anxiu is very good at this, she has strength, can manage at home, and can bring He Yuer and He Shusheng, so why did you think about it, and just let her be a child bride.

In order not to cause trouble, He Youbao burned the yellow robe.That thing is a scourge no matter how you look at it.

With the incident at the beginning, He Youbao has a bottom line in his heart for Anxiu conjuring grapes for no reason, and he can still accept it, and he didn't make a fuss and ask the bottom line.

Anxiu took some straw from He Erfu's yard next door and put it under the ox cart, removed the quilt cover and put it on top, and then began to move the grapes to the ox cart with her father-in-law and Shusheng. If you break the grapes, you are afraid of waking up the neighbors.

After everything was done, He Youbao looked at the sky and said: "Xiu, it's probably the end of the ugly season, let's go quickly, or we won't be able to occupy the booth in a while."

"Yeah!" Anxiu gathered up the quilt and hid all the grapes inside, so that even if someone saw them, they would not know what they were pretending to be. After finishing, Anxiu carried He Yuer, who had already fallen asleep in the haystack, onto the cow. The car rested in He Shusheng's arms.

"Father, let's not go to Wangji, let's go to Youji!" Anxiu thought for a while, and assured He You.Hejiazhuang is 30 miles away from Wangji, and more than [-] miles away from Youji. People in Zhuangzi usually go to Wangji to go to the market. Anxiu doesn't want to meet acquaintances.

"Why?" He Youbao was not as thoughtful as An Xiu thought, and he couldn't help asking, ten miles more, and an hour more to walk.

Anxiu told He Youbao her thoughts.He Youbao nodded and said comfortingly, "Showing off your child is because you are careful. Then let's go to Youji."

After walking for two and a half hours, Mao Shichu finally arrived at Youji. It was already dawn, and the streets were bustling with people.In order to treat Yu'er at that time, He Youbao deliberately put three pennies in his pocket when he left - at that time, he had not had time to hand over the wages for working at Landlord Sun's house yesterday to Mrs. Xiao.He found the yamen servant who was in charge of the stall, paid two Wen for the stall fee, received a wooden sign, and then went to find a place to set up a stall.

The good spots were all occupied by people, so Anxiu could only be placed at the end of the street.It is said that wine is not afraid of deep alleys, but Anxiu is still worried that the grapes will not be sold. After all, they are for food, and the farmer's family does not have so much spare money to buy them.

"Xiu, we didn't weigh it. A bunch of your grapes is about a catty. Why don't you order a bunch of [-] cents." He Youbao took out the dry pipe and took a few puffs, and then he regained some energy. After all, he had done it during the day. One day's work, another night without sleep.

"Fifteen cash, sell it earlier! If it's too late, it's not even worth fifteen cash!" An Xiu is not greedy. There are at least a hundred bunches of grapes in this cart, and they can sell for fifteen hundred cash. , It's one tael and a half of silver.Anxiu was suddenly full of hope for life.

"Fifteen cents?" He Shusheng called out, "Other grapes that are much worse than this are thirty cents a catty. Are you crazy?"

Anxiu glared at him: "When adults talk, children are not allowed to interrupt!" This little money fan with no experience in ancient times knew money and money, and didn't understand a little bit of market economy.Small profits but high turnover, besides, if the sales were late and returned, Xiao Shi should jump up and scold.

"Listen to the show!" He Youbao put away the cigarette bag, and laughed, "Fifteen cash is only fifteen cash. If you sell it earlier, go back sooner."

Hearing what his father and An Xiu said, He Shusheng was so distressed that he lost half of his money for no reason. An Xiu is really a loser!But his arms couldn't twist his thighs, so he turned his face away from them.
