Chapter 24: Price

Seeing that the sun was mostly up, looking around the market, there were baskets and baskets of green rice dumpling leaves everywhere.

Lu Sheige stood up and kicked the basket in front of him: "Let's go out and walk around."

It's better than waiting here.

"good."

Lu Xiaoyu stood up without hesitation and picked up their unsold mat basket first.

Lu Xiaoli was still angry. Lu Xiaoqing glanced at his second sister, then at his eldest brother, and hesitated: "Where are you going?"

Lu Sheige stretched out and said, "Let's go sell mats."

"You go ahead, elder sister and I will wait here." Lu Xiaoli felt uncomfortable but did not lose his temper.

She just thought that even if she could sell it for a penny, it would be good.

In fact, she wanted to sell more, and she also wanted to buy a sesame seed cake for Xiaoyu.

Last time Li Cankan ate sesame seed cakes to show off in front of Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu talked about it several times in front of her, not mentioning the sesame seed cakes but not mentioning that she wanted to eat them.

Lu Sheige helped Lu Xiaoyu carry the other side of the basket: "Let's go together."

Lu Xiaoli wanted to say that she would continue to watch the meeting, but Lu Xiaoqing tugged her sleeve and tightened her mouth again.

Lu Xiaoyu glanced at them and could probably guess what the second sister was thinking. She raised her hand and touched the wreath on her head. Today, because the second sister wanted to collect more reed leaves, they had to cut the mats alone.

On the way, I made a wreath for each of them. Neither the eldest sister nor the second sister had any.

In Xiaoyu's heart, this is the best feeling between Xiaosi and her.

Xiaosi and she are twins, the best siblings. If the second sister doesn't listen to Xiaosi, she must listen.

She is Xiaosi's good sister and always will be.

Seeing that the second sister was still unwilling to move, Xiaoyu could only turn around and coax Lu Xiaoli: "Second sister, the fourth sister is so smart, it is always right to listen to him."

Lu Xiuge glanced at Lu Xiaoyu. She actually had some ideas in her mind, but she didn't have any practice and didn't know if it would work, so she didn't intend to speak out.

Lu Xiaoyu believed that if the eldest sister and the second sister didn't go, she wouldn't go. She didn't care.

When Lu Xiangge was recuperating on the boat, Xiaoyu took care of him on the boat and looked at Lu Xiaowu by the way.

The two of them feel good, and no one thinks it's strange.

"Just go." Lu Xiaoli stood up angrily. He couldn't sell it here anyway, so he might as well follow Xiaosi, maybe he could find a way.

Lu Xiaoqing and Lu Xiaoli lifted up a basket full of rice dumpling leaves and followed Xiaosi and Xiaoyu out of the noisy and chaotic market.

"Go over there first." Lu Sheige pointed in the direction of Jiangjiaba.

Jiangba Town is not big, but it is a long street. The wharf is very lively because it is close to the gate and has a market. In fact, the wharf is still quite far away from the town of Jiangjiaba.

Lu Xiangge inquired and found out that there was actually a small vegetable market in the center of the town.

In the past, when there was no wharf in Jiangjiaba, it was the vegetable market in Jiangjiaba.

Later, because the dock was a big place, there were a lot of people, and there were a lot of boat traders and trackers running the boats, and it was much more lively than other places. Gradually, people got used to coming here, and the actual vegetable market there was much less crowded.

It took almost half an hour to walk to the market in the center of the town.

Sure enough, the vegetable market is small and there are few people, and there are also few people setting up stalls.

Of course, even fewer people buy rice dumpling leaves.

There are seven or eight shops in the dock market, but only two are selling rice dumpling leaves.

One family, like the lady next door, sells vegetables along with rice dumpling leaves, while the other family has two baskets full of rice dumpling leaves piled together.

Seeing the four younger brothers carrying two big baskets, the two rice dumpling leaf sellers immediately became vigilant.

They had also moved here from the big market. They had just come here and sold a few handfuls and were just happy, but they didn't expect someone else to come.

Lu Xiaoli also thought they were going to sell at the vegetable market, and was still looking around, trying to find a better place to put the basket, but he didn't expect Xiaosi and Xiaoyu to carry the basket and continue walking to another alley.

go.

Where is this going?

"Xiaosi,"

Lu Xiaoli paused for a moment before following him: "Where are we going?"

Lu Xiangge said nothing, but Lu Xiaoyu looked back at Lu Xiaoli unhappily: "Second sister, why are you so busy?"

Am I troublesome?

Lu Xiaoli was scolded by Xiaoyu and immediately became unhappy. No matter how troublesome she was, she was not allowed to ask any questions.

This little fish now sees her as the second sister less and less.

Lu Xiaoli couldn't get angry at Xiaoyu, so he could only complain to Lu Xiaoqing: "Sister, look at Xiaoyu."

"Okay, don't make any noise."

Lu Xiaoqing pursed her lips and wanted to persuade him a few more words, but in the end he did not continue because of his stuttering.

"Sell mat grass and get rice dumpling leaves for free."

“If you buy mat straw, you’ll get rice dumpling leaves for free.”

Lu Xiange entered the alley and opened his mouth and started shouting. His clear childlike voice was a little tender and soft. This shouting sounded like a child pretending to be a family drinker.

When you buy mat grass, you get rice dumpling leaves for free?

This strange hawking method attracted several families to look around.

Seeing someone opening the door, Lu Sheige asked cheerfully: "Sister-in-law, do you want to make rice dumplings at home? If you buy our mats, we will give you rice dumpling leaves. I guarantee that you use our rice dumpling leaves and mats to make the rice dumplings."

It’s delicious.”

This child is not big, but his voice is crisp and sweet, which makes people feel very comfortable.

Someone opened his mouth curiously and asked, "Is there anyone selling mats?"

It would be nice if someone asked, but Lu Sheige was afraid that no one would care about him and he wouldn't even be able to find an excuse to stop.

As long as someone asks, there will be people watching.

As long as someone buys it, someone will be attracted to it.

Even at the same price, as long as there are more people around, the chance of selling will be greater.

Lu Sheige put down the basket and grabbed two handfuls of mats in one hand and a handful of rice dumpling leaves in the other: "A handful of mats costs a penny. If you buy a handful of mats, you will get two handfuls of rice dumpling leaves. These three handfuls only cost one penny, so they are cheap."

As he spoke, he grinned widely and showed his big white teeth in a silly smile. He looked like a simple and honest child.

Yesterday, I got two handfuls of rice dumpling leaves for one penny.

Today, she also gave me an extra handful of mats, although mats are easier to come by than rice dumpling leaves.

What is indispensable is valuable.

Mat grass is generally harvested between Xiaoman and Mangzhong, which is the season for mat grass harvesting.

Many people cut the straw early to dry in order to weave mats. There were countless people selling rice dumpling leaves in the market, but no one selling matting straw.

In terms of value, mat straw is indeed not as valuable as rice dumpling leaves. When Lu Sheige sold it in the market, he sold it for two handfuls for one penny.

On the contrary, the mats are easy to sell, but no one cares about the rice dumpling leaves.

An elder sister-in-law was moved. When she went shopping for groceries, she saw that reed leaves cost two handfuls per penny, and mat straw was not included.

If you buy it here, you can buy four handfuls of rice dumpling leaves and two handfuls of rice dumpling leaves for two cents.

"This is too expensive."

The speaker turned over the basket carried by Lu Xiaoli and the others, and saw that the rice dumpling leaves were wide and clean, and the mat straw was pliable and slender. He was satisfied in his heart. But he habitually paid back the price: "For two cents, you give me three handfuls of mat straw for six cents."

Take the rice dumpling leaves.”

Lu Xiaoli said nothing and turned to look at Lu Shege.

This time, she wisely pursed her lips tightly and refused to speak.

She understood that as long as she followed Xiao Si, there would be absolutely nothing she couldn't sell.
