Chapter 267 Tongluo Town Market

Shutong waved his hands and smiled, quickened his pace, waited until the farmer raised his head again, and found that the little girl had become a small dot in the distance, secretly startled.

The child walked quite fast, and he didn't know which family he belonged to. He was alone in the countryside and fields, and he was not afraid of encountering wild animals!
Shutong Youxiu moved quickly, walking along the country road, and soon came to the fork in the road that the farmer said, and chose the left one to continue.

Along the way, gradually there are pedestrians, all of whom are countrymen, either carrying baskets or carrying burdens.

Many people didn't realize it, they felt a pink flash in front of their eyes, and when they looked up, there was a little girl who was far ahead of them.

They all wondered if they were walking too slowly, and couldn't help speeding up their pace, but the burden was too heavy, and they slowed down quickly.

In fact, Shutong didn't deliberately use her speed ability, but her pace was still very fast. As more and more pedestrians passed by on the road, she saw that the road became wider.

You can see more farmland on both sides of the road, and you can also see distant villages. You can hear the crowing of chickens and the barking of dogs clearly. It can be seen that this place is very quiet and peaceful.

Today seems to be a day for going to the market. There are more and more pedestrians on the road, and most of them carry their own products on their backs.

A little girl looks a little strange walking in the crowd. The villagers passing by always quietly look at her clothes and fair face.

I don't know which spoiled girl it is, why is she walking on the road alone?

The road winds forward, and you can slowly hear the noise in front of you. After turning a corner, there is an archway in front of you.

Shutong can read and write now, looking at the three characters on the archway, he has indeed arrived in Tongluo Town.

After passing the archway, there is a large open space in front of it. Many people have already found a place, set up stalls, and shouted their own products.

It can be seen that several roads converge here, and it seems that villagers from all over the world gather here, forming a large-scale market here.

This Tongluo Town is completely different from Lianhua Town, it's just an open space and a memorial archway, and there doesn't seem to be any fixed shops.

These people set up stalls on the side of the road at will, and they didn't even see anyone maintaining law and order.

Shutong wandered curiously, and found that most of what they sold were agricultural products, either from the fields, or dry goods from the mountains.

Of course, there were also some people who came in ox carts, and the ox carts contained daily groceries such as oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar.

Many villagers sold their own things, and took the money to buy daily necessities, mostly oil and salt and other daily necessities, and rarely saw anything else.

Shutong wandered around, but there was really nothing to see, she couldn't help curling her lips secretly, this place doesn't even have food!
She simply forgot that she was penniless, and even if she sold food, she couldn't afford it.

Looking around, I lost interest, and it happened that there was an old woman next to me selling homespun cloth from ox carts to the villagers.

"Come here and have a look, these are all floral cloths woven by my family! Hey! I said brother, take a look at my cloth, it's just right to buy a few feet for my daughter-in-law to make clothes for!"

The middle-aged man who was held by her scratched his head, squeezed his purse, and asked awkwardly, "Ma'am! How do you sell this floral cloth?"

The woman bared her teeth and said with a smile: "Look at the flower cloth in my house. I dyed the color myself. It's bright enough! It's not expensive, ten cents a foot, come! Get three feet for your daughter-in-law. , I will definitely please her when I go back!"

Speaking of which, the mother-in-law took out a ruler and began to measure the cloth. When the middle-aged man heard the price, he quickly waved his hand, "Forget it, your price is too expensive!"

The woman was not annoyed, she grabbed him and said with a smile: "I said big brother, don't rush away! In this way, you are a real person. Even if you are cheaper, you are all weaving and dyeing at home. I charge you one penny less, nine pennies per foot, three feet should be enough for your daughter-in-law to make a dress, 27 pennies, I will give you a little less, 26 pennies, what do you think?"

The man was still hesitating, but the mother-in-law pouted, "Oh, I said big brother, where can you find such a cheap deal? I've already given you the cheapest price, and I'll tell you, if you don't buy it, you will pass through this village." But there is no such store!"

"Oh, what are you still hesitating about? I'll measure it for you and add an extra inch. When you buy it back, your wife will definitely say that you will buy something!"

The mother-in-law spoke quickly, and made the man dizzy. She couldn't help but say that she had already measured the cloth, quickly cut a hole, and pulled it hard, only to hear "呵啦!"

She tore off a piece of calico, quickly folded it, and stuffed it into the man's arms.

"Hold it, 26 Wen, you really took advantage of it! Wear it and come back next time!"

The flower cloth was stuffed in his arms, the man could only take it, and took out the copper coins from his purse.

I just sold the sun-dried mountain products at home, and more than half of them went all at once, and I still have to buy oil and salt.

With a wry smile, he counted out 26 Wen, and the few copper coins left could not buy much oil and salt. After returning home, he wondered if he would be scolded by his wife!

The man who gave the money stuffed the calico into his arms and left quickly.

The mother-in-law happily put the copper coins away, only to notice a little girl next to her, tilting her head and looking at this side.

Her eyes lit up, and she waved her hands and said, "Girl, do you want to buy floral cloth too? Come and see how strong my floral cloth is. Look, the dyed color is also bright. If you like it, ask your adults to draw some cloth for you." Use the ruler to make new clothes!"

Shutong came over and touched the floral cloth curiously, feeling a little rough and lost interest.

At this moment, the old lady saw clearly that she was actually wearing satin clothes, and she couldn't help sighing secretly, her old eyesight was dim, how could anyone who could afford satin clothes buy her calico!
He planned to change his target and attract customers again, and listened to the crisp opening of the little girl next to him.

"Grandma, do you know how to get to Ancheng?"

The woman was stunned, and said strangely: "Girl, do you want to go to Ancheng?"

Shutong nodded.

The woman looked around, "Did you come alone? Why didn't your family follow you?"

Shutong smiled, "I'm alone, do you know which way to go to Ancheng?"

The woman looked her up and down, she was a pretty girl, only about ten years old.

Waiting for a country girl, ten years old is considered an adult, and it is normal to go out alone.

But seeing the little girl dressed like a child from a rich family, the mother-in-law couldn't help rolling her eyes.

Asked: "Girl, where is your adult, how can you rest assured that you go out alone? Is there no one to follow?"

Shutong smiled and said, "It's just me, mother-in-law, can you tell me how to get there?"

The mother-in-law looked again, and was surrounded by country people with miserable faces, and she was moved.

A wrinkled face put on a smile, "Do you want to go to Ancheng? That's easy, I'll live in Ancheng, or wait until I sell these floral cloths, you can take my car and go with me!"
