Chapter 25
After everyone chatted and chatted enthusiastically, they saw that the bullock cart hadn't come yet.Some people began to complain that it had been half an hour, why they hadn't come yet, and some replied: "Hey, it should be coming soon." an ox cart.

Li Shasha estimated that there were seven or eight people waiting for the bus at the entrance of the village, and there were four people in her own family, three with baskets on their backs.Others also have baskets and bamboo baskets, and no one is empty-handed. Two ox carts should be able to sit down.

After a while, the bullock cart came to the front, and people waiting for the cart at the entrance of the village swarmed over. Wang was afraid that someone would bump into Li Shasha, so she hurriedly pulled the two little ones aside, and when everyone sat down, she saw the bullock cart behind her. There were still vacant seats, so they first put Li Shasha and Li Xianzhi into the bullock cart, and then they and Li Yulan carried the three back baskets onto the bullock cart, and then sat with Li Yulan at the rear of the bullock cart.

The ox pulling the cart walked forward slowly, flicking its tail. Hearing the creaking sound of the ox cart, Li Shasha was about to make the ox cart dangle and fell asleep, when suddenly she heard a sharp voice: "Third Aunt, what are you packing in your back basket?"

Hearing this, Li Shasha immediately opened her eyes, and found that Li Zongxi's daughter-in-law, Qi Shi, was also sitting in their bullock cart.Only then did Li Shasha look at her carefully, and saw that Mrs. Qi was chubby, with small eyes, and the most ugly thing was a huge delicious mole on her upper lip.

Li Shasha saw that she was not only asking questions, but that her hand had also reached out to the blue cloth covering her basket, and she was about to open it to see what was inside.

She grabbed Qi's hand and said, "Aunt Qi, there are long worms down there. It's none of our business if you lift it up and crawl out to bite your hand!" Shrinking back as if struck by electricity, he said angrily, "Third Aunt, how could you put this kind of thing on the bullock cart? It would be great if it hurt someone."

Wang hurriedly waved her hand: "It's not a worm, it's..." Before she finished speaking, Li Shasha pulled Wang, and Wang immediately shut up and stopped talking.

Mrs. Qi was listening to Mrs. Wang with her ears upright. Seeing that it was Li Shasha who interrupted her again, she continued to ask a little unwillingly, "Third Aunt, what is it if it's not a bug? Why don't you explain it clearly, or open it up for us to see?" Look, or you'll all go down."

Mrs. Wang was speechless, Li Shasha smiled and laughed when she saw this: "Aunt Qi, my niece is just kidding you, you are going to drive our family down, this car is halfway, can you help me?" Do we pay for the car?"

As soon as Li Shasha finished speaking, the man driving the car hurriedly turned around and asked, "Whoever wants to get off the car halfway has agreed to go to the town. If you get off the car halfway, it will be difficult for me to get people on the way. Get off!" The car can be bought, and each person must pay a copper coin first."

Mrs. Qi was so angry that she didn't speak for a long time. The four of them in her family are worth four copper coins.Li Shasha saw the noisy man shut up, and quickly said to the man driving the car: "Uncle driving, no one wants to go down, that aunt is joking with us. You drive the car, and we will still take your car when you come back." , okay?” When the driver heard that there was still business, he swung his whip happily and replied, “Okay!” The cow mooed when the whip whipped it, and ran towards the town at a faster speed.

Li Shasha saw that no one was looking for faults, and it was her first time to travel far in this world. She saw that there were crop fields on both sides of the road, most of which were planted with corn.It may be because of the drought that the corn seedlings are a little wilted.

After walking for about half an hour, I saw Yanbo Town from a distance, which was also built in the valley between the two mountains.The houses in the town are much more densely built than in the village, and there are two or three-story houses. From a distance, you can see the brightly colored cloth banners of various shops fluttering in the wind. It is estimated that this is a high-rise building.

After entering the town, the man who drove the ox cart tied the ox cart to a special parking place in the town, asked everyone to pay a copper coin for the fare, and then shouted to everyone: "It's Si time now, until three quarters in the afternoon , let's go back, we have to watch the time by car!" Everyone responded loudly and scattered away.

After Wang and Li Yulan carried the basket, they put it on the back for Li Xianzhi.Then one person led the other into the town.Today is Dachang, the market in the town is full of people jostling shoulder to shoulder, everyone brings their own chicken, duck and vegetables or baskets of bamboo hats weaved by themselves.The crowing of chickens and ducks, and the cries of people selling, made the whole market noisy and lively one after another.

Wang Shi and Li Yulan searched for a long time but couldn't find any vacant space. After walking for a while, they finally found a vacant space, but it was in the top corner.After removing the baskets on their bodies, Wang and Li Yulan placed two piles, one pile of tomatoes and one pile of cauliflower.The bright red tomatoes against the white and tender cauliflower make people appetite. After a while, someone came to ask the price.

Wang and Li Yulan had never done business, so they were a little awkward when they asked.Li Shasha took over the conversation: "Ma'am, these are my family's specialty tomatoes and cauliflower. You have a good eye. Don't mention these two things in our town, even in our county, you can't find a second one."

The aunt was a little impatient: "It's just that I haven't seen how much a catty is asked?" Li Shasha said crisply: "Because it's the only one, so the tomatoes and cauliflower are ten cents per catty." Li Yulan and Wang listened I was so scared that I covered my mouth and didn't dare to speak.Li Xianzhi also pulled the corner of Li Shasha's clothes from behind. Li Shasha brushed his hand away and looked at the aunt who asked the price firmly.

After hearing the price, the aunt looked at her as if she was looking at an alien visitor.Li Shasha said again: "Auntie, you must think that the price is comparable to the price of pork, right?" Seeing that she understood, the aunt nodded her head.Li Shasha went on to say: "But the seeds of this thing came from abroad. Our family bought the seeds very expensively. It is not the same price as the Chinese cabbage seeds. Moreover, they have not been planted before, and a lot of seeds were wasted before planting. It came out. Auntie, do you think you have to sell it more expensive to keep your capital?"

The aunt had some doubts: "No matter how expensive your food is, it can't compete with pork. How can this dish compare with meat." Li Shasha smiled: "Aunt, this is because everyone has their own ideas. , if you are willing to spend a little more money to try something new, you will feel that the price is very reasonable, after all, it is unique in our town. If you just want to eat something full, you can buy pork."

After Li Shasha finished speaking, she raised her head and nodded to the surrounding people.The people around felt that they had never seen these two things before and wanted to try them out, but the price made everyone feel a little discouraged.Seeing that everyone was hesitant, Li Shasha asked Mrs. Wang to cut a tomato into seven or eight pieces with a knife, and let several people taste it separately.

After those few people ate it, they really felt that it was different from ordinary vegetables, and they actually tasted sour and sweet.Li Shasha then explained: "This tomato, also known as wolf fruit, is rich in juice, sweet and sour. It can be served in cold salad or scrambled eggs. It tastes great." The few people tasted it cruelly, and each weighed a catty and gave it back to the family. early adopters.

When Wang Shi and Li Yulan saw this scene, they simply admired Li Shasha, after all, they collected [-] copper coins all at once.But later, there were still many people watching the excitement, and few people bought it.Seeing that the sun was getting higher and higher, Li Shasha said to Wang: "Grandma, with such scattered sales, it is estimated that it will not be sold out until [-]:[-] noon. Why don't we go to the restaurant and try it? If they accept our Vegetables, we can supply them for a long time in the future.”

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang and Li Yulan could only nod their heads. Sister Sha's ability opened their eyes today.After packing up their things, they covered the basket with a blue calico and walked towards Rongdong Street where there are many shops in the town.

At the corner of Rongdong Street is the largest Zuitaibai restaurant in the town that the villagers said. Li Shasha looked up at the three-story restaurant. It seemed to be very powerful, so she led Wang and the others into it.

All the way in, Wang and Li Xianzhi couldn't see enough from the carved beams and painted buildings, and it was obvious that they had never entered a restaurant.Li Yulan was very calm, she might have seen the world in Fucheng.

Because it was not lunch time, the store was still a little deserted, but there were a few boys scrubbing the tables and chairs there.As soon as Li Shasha and the others entered, a guy with a white towel on his shoulders came over.The guy said with a smile: "Are the guest officials going to have lunch? Our restaurant doesn't open until noon. Do you think you will come back later?"

After hearing this, Li Shasha felt that the owner of this restaurant should still be very good at doing business, because they were all wearing coarse clothes, although they were still clean, they were more or less patched.If it had been replaced by those who looked down on people with dog eyes, they would have been kicked out long ago.

Li Shasha made up her mind, and blessed the waiter: "Brother, we are not here for lunch. I just planted some novel vegetables at home, and I want to sell them to expensive restaurants. Do you want to invite your shopkeeper?" Come out and see our stuff."

The guy didn't pay much attention to this guy at the beginning, but usually the shopkeeper gave the same order, and all the people who came were customers, so you can't just watch people order dishes just because of the clothes of the customers.

It's just that this family is dressed plainly, so it's definitely impossible for them to afford it in their own restaurant.So I just tried to persuade her with good words, seeing that the little girl was fair and clean, her round eyes were full of intelligence, and she spoke in a gentle and polite manner, as if she came from a scholar family.

The guy thought for a while: "Little girl, wait here with your family, I'll go to the back and ask the shopkeeper to come over!" After speaking, he went to the back kitchen.

After a while, the guy brought out a fat middle-aged man in a long gown.The clerk politely introduced: "This little girl, this is my shopkeeper, her surname is Qin." The shopkeeper Qin was hurriedly pulled out by the clerk. She looked at Li Shasha inquiringly.

Li Shasha stepped forward and gave a blessing to the shopkeeper Qin: "Uncle Qin shopkeeper, my family has grown some novel vegetables, please see if the expensive restaurant wants these things." Take out the tomatoes and cauliflower and send them to Shopkeeper Qin.

Shopkeeper Qin didn't take Li Shasha seriously at first, thinking, my Zuitaibai Restaurant is the largest restaurant in Yanbo Town, and there is something I haven't seen before.When they delivered the things to him, he was also a little confused. He had never seen anything like this after living for more than 30 years.

The bright red fruit is extremely pleasing in color.As for the white flower-like dish, I don't know what it's called, and I don't know how to eat it.The weather is so dry this year that some vegetables are not available.My God, if there are these two things, but other restaurants don't have them, then my business will definitely explode!
