Farmer’s Little Girl

  Chapter 10 Going to the Fair

  Lao Zhoutou decided to let her daughter Bai Mr. Zhuang be a teacher, of course, he must prepare well. So even the boss stopped going to work the next day.

  Lao Zhoutou directly asked him to borrow a cart from the village head and took out two bags of grain from the warehouse.

The whole family stood at their doorsteps and watched. Old Zhou did not seem to see the anxiety in the eyes of his daughters-in-law. He instructed the boss and the youngest to tie up the grain, and then told Tue Lang, "Go to the market, first change the grain into money. , Buy your mother’s medicine for three days, and buy another piece of meat, like pork belly. It would be better if you can buy bacon."

Lao Zhou thought for a while and said, "Look if anyone sells better cotton at the market. If so, buy it and make a set of clothes for Mr. Zhuang. By the way, don’t forget the fabrics for shoes and socks. Buy it now, buy a better one."

  Tuesday Lang writes down one by one.

  Little Qian and the others listened to what they were about to buy, and they pumped their hearts. These are two bags of grain.

  Lao Zhou's head is more distressed than them, but listening to the laughter floating in, he can ignore the distress. Seeing that all the explanations are finished, Lao Zhou's head waved and asked everyone to do.

  Man Bao woke up early in the morning, and then dragged Goro Rokuro to pick wild flowers.

  When the home is ready, they are also ready. They took the baskets made by Tue Lang filled with weeds and wildflowers, and happily followed the adults.

  Feng, who went with him, looked at the contents in their basket and couldn’t help but said, “What are you doing with these things?”

  Da Ya said: "My sister said that I want to sell it."

  Feng's eyes widened slightly, "This kind of thing is everywhere, who buys it?"

  Man Bao was being carried by Zhou Wulang at this time, and he said loudly: "Second Sister-in-law, I will buy it, and I am willing to buy good-looking things."

  This is really a prodigal.

  Feng couldn’t help asking, "Sister, do you have money?"

  Man Bao shook his head honestly, "Not now, but there will be in the future."

  She is very confident in herself, even Keke said she is very smart, then she must be very good, and of course there is no problem in earning money.

  Feng didn't stop them, only regarded this as a children's game, anyway, they held the things themselves.

  Waiting for the market, everyone started looking for locations to set up stalls.

On Tuesday Lang made a lot of baskets and waited to sell them. He was familiar with the road and took up a piece of land. After putting the things down, let his wife sell them. , Don't run around."

  Wu Lang hadn't spoken yet, Man Bao first patted his chest and said, "Second brother, don't worry, I must be optimistic about my nephews. We will not go anywhere."

  Tuesday Lang smiled and reached out and touched her head.

   Then he pushed the cart and Zhou Dalang to sell food.

  This bazaar is a five-day episode. Several nearby villages gather together to form a bazaar in this relatively large Dali Village.

  Because there is a mountain here, there is a Taoist temple on the mountain, there are several Taoist priests in the temple, every year on the nineteenth of the first lunar month, there is a very grand temple fair here, even some people from the county town will come to attend from a thousand miles.

  That is the big temple fair, and the other small temple fairs are set up for major solar terms. These traditions have been for many years.

  According to Man Bao heard from the old people at the entrance of the village, they had these customs since they were children.

For this reason, Keke is particularly sorry, saying that it is a popular science system that specializes in collecting creatures. There is also a system in their encyclopedia that specializes in collecting this kind of folklore. Just how many subtasks can be derived from the formation of this temple fair. Sure to earn a lot of points.

  At that time, Man Bao felt that Keke was a little sad, so if he said, he would throw it away without any money, "But I like Keke, I don’t like other systems."

  In short, this is a big market where villagers and villagers exchange what they need.

  So the question is, do everyone barter for money?

of course not!

  Man Bao saw that the second sister-in-law had put the baskets and dustpans in place, and they immediately put down their baskets full of weeds and wildflowers, forming a row with Feng's merchandise, and then squatted behind and looked at the people passing by with their small faces.

  Tuesday Lang has been operating at the market for many years, and his reputation has long been known. So not long after the things were laid out, an old lady came up with her back basket and checked the dustpan and asked, "Can you replace it with eggs?"

   After a little thought, Feng agreed, and said: "Now eggs are still two cents and three, right?"

  The old lady should be.

  Feng began to calculate how many eggs she wanted to give her, "Then you give me..."

  She had the final say, and felt that she was wrong, and she sweated a little on her forehead. She used to do all these things by her husband. She always counts money when she sells things.

  Feng wiped the sweat, Man Bao saw that her sister-in-law was stumped, so he jumped up quickly, "Second sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, I will, is our dustpan still a fifteen-character?"

  Feng knows that my sister-in-law is smart, and she can count. She usually likes to play with her a penny plus two penny games, so he nodded and said: "Yes, the price of our family has never changed."

  Man Bao looked at the old lady curiously, "Where are your eggs?"

  The old lady doesn’t know how to count herself, but before she goes out, her family will count the eggs for her, but she still hopes that Zhou’s family can count it wrong.

  Just now, she hurried up when Tue Lang was not there.

  She put down the back basket and opened the eggs to let Man Bao look at her, "They were all laid by chickens at home, that's fine."

  Man Bao said: "Let me count."

  The old lady was not very happy, "You haven't told me how many eggs I want."

  Man Bao stared and asked, "I haven't counted them. How do I know how many eggs I want? I have to count."

  As soon as I heard this, I knew that it would be impossible. The old lady was happy and didn't stop it. She smiled and said, "Then you have to be careful, don't knock the eggs out."

  Man Bao promised: "Don't worry, it's mine if it breaks."

  She took out the eggs from the inside. Three piles, three piles, and eight piles. In this way, the old lady counted the eggs, and when her heart beat, she would take the eggs back.

  Man Bao has already clapped his hands and said with joy: "I have counted it, I have counted it, Ersao, look, these are two essays, this is two essays, two essays, two essays... a total of sixteen essays."

The stall owner opposite    watched the whole process and happily said, "This little girl is really smart."

  Feng and You Rongyan, "This is my sister-in-law, she is the smartest in our family."

  Frirang and Satsara were also very proud, and stood up and said, "My sister!"

The old lady glanced at these two big and strong boys, and when she reached her mouth, she swallowed it, and then said, "Your dustpan is fifteen pens, but I asked for an extra penny. I will put this pile away. ."

Man Bao felt reasonable, so he took the two youngest from the pile of eggs and gave her, saying: "Fifteen, you should be given one and a half eggs, but half of the eggs cannot be divided, so we lose a little bit. You can take it back."

  The old lady choked.

Feng also saw the old lady's movements and responded with a smile. He quickly put the eggs into their home basket with his hands and feet, smiled and asked the old lady to choose the dustpan she liked, and said: "We don't choose the size of the eggs. Now, just change it like that."

  Although she didn't suffer, the old lady was still a little unhappy. She looked at Man Bao and said, "This kid is white and fat, not like our village family."

  Feng smiled: “My sister-in-law is the youngest in the family, and her in-laws love her, and her brothers love her, so she is raised carefully. It’s not that I boast. There is no girl in these ten miles and eight villages who looks better than our sister-in-law.”

  Everyone took a closer look, it really is.

  Not only does this child have cute facial features, but the key is white and fat. He has a round face and a blushing face. At first glance, he is a blessed person.

  The little care in her heart also disappeared, and she nodded her head with a smile: "It's pretty good-looking."

Man Bao was praised and immediately became happy, and then enthusiastically introduced his products to the old lady, "Auntie, you can also look at my things, look at my flowers, they look good, take them back and put them on the windowsill. Just look at it and feel good."

  The old lady was called the aunt, she felt a lot younger and happily said, "Give it to me? You see you are so polite."

   Reach out and take it.

  Man Bao said with bright eyes: "It's not a gift, a penny is not expensive at all."

  The old lady put her hand back with a squeak, her eyes widened and asked, "What, this wild flower needs money, isn't it all on the mountain?"

   "Yes," Man Baoli said frankly, "But I took it off."

  Feng hurriedly said: "Mother, don’t mind, this is the children's jokes. They are clamoring about doing business at home, so I brought them out to see and see."

  The old lady felt better, but she didn’t reach for the flower anymore, for fear that Man Bao would ask her for money.

   So I chose a dustpan and left quickly.

  Man Bao watched her leave with nostalgia, and sighed with her friends: "Why don't you buy them? Our flowers are so beautiful."

  Little friends: …we expected it a long time ago, so it’s not regrettable at all.

  The friends looked at the people coming and going on the street enthusiastically. They were very happy to come to the market.

  Someone came to buy baskets and dustpans one after another. Man Bao helped Ersao with the calculations every time, and recommended his own flowers and grass after the calculation. Every adult was happy to pick it up at first, and immediately shrank when he knew he was asking for money.

   Seeing halfway through the market day, the eldest brother and the second brother did not come back and said that none of their flowers could be sold, and the flowers were still a little embarrassing.

  Man Bao sighed worriedly, seeing that there was not much dustpan left in front of the second sister-in-law, but there was still a lot of basket left, so he arranged her flowers and plants in the basket.

  Feng looked at his heart frightened, "Sister, you wouldn’t ask your guests to buy your flowers, flowers, and grasses if they buy baskets?"

  I just felt that I couldn’t sell it, and the flowers and plants left waste. Man Bao, who was planning to give them away, brightened his eyes, “Ah, second sister-in-law, you’re so smart, why didn’t I think of this way?”

  Feng wanted to sew up his mouth.
