The two of them seemed to have stepped on a hot wheel and suddenly disappeared from sight.
There was a car blocking the road in front of him, so Song Qiu couldn't go too fast and chase him.
There are only two gossips on the left and right, how can she really go after other people to cause trouble? Stop them?
But why does she like those in the dark column?
What kind of handsome and fair little man does she frequent?
Where did this nonsense come from? She hadn't even heard about it yet.
From what they said, this matter must have been reported in the town?
Well, after I sell the lotus roots, I will go and inquire about them.
Let's see who is so full that he spreads bad words about her reputation.
It dawned late in winter, and it was still foggy when we entered the town.
The mule cart rushed all the way to the market and parked it in a special place. Song Qiu went to pay the money and get the wooden sign and find a good seat. Du Chuanfu carried the lotus roots to the stall.
Back and forth, it took more than a quarter of an hour to finish the work.
At this time, it was getting brighter again, and people in thick clothes were pouring into the market one after another, carrying baskets and carrying baskets on their backs.
Soon, the market was filled with excitement.
The cries of vendors can be heard one after another. In the early morning of winter, it is really a beautiful scenery to say goodbye.
Extremely interesting.
The last time Song Qiu worked as a hawker in this market was a few months ago. In the blink of an eye, summer turned to winter, and autumn passed by in a hurry. His current mood was very different from that time.
But this didn't stop Song Qiu from pausing for a while, then shouting at the top of his lungs, "Lotus lotus roots for sale! Fresh lotus roots! Crispy powdered ones, stir-fried in soups, guaranteed to be delicious and sweet! Don't be frivolous.
It doesn’t cost more than five or six pennies, it only costs three pennies per catty! Don’t miss it if you pass by! Come pick it up and buy it quickly!”
Among the simple shouts such as "Selling vegetables, home-made side dishes!" "Bamboo baskets!" "Selling brooms!" "Oh pears, oh delicious pears", such a long list of
The unique shouting, and the voice was still a clear young female voice, immediately passed the ears of all the people who rushed into the market.
Everyone followed the sound and saw a young, gentle and pretty girl.
The girl was wearing a small green cotton-padded jacket and a brown cotton-padded skirt, with a simple double-ringed bun. She stood behind piles of lotus roots, with bright almond eyes, and was shouting loudly at passers-by.
That long string of words came out in one breath, without any knots.
I had to buy vegetables anyway, and the lotus roots looked really fresh, washed clean, and not a trace of mud was visible.
Immediately, someone went to the stall.
"Little girl, these lotus roots cost three pennies per catty? How much? The store in front sells them for five cents per catty, which is cheaper than yours!" said a woman.
"Auntie, look at the lotus roots in my house. The roots are fat and big. They are freshly dug and washed cleanly. There is no excess mud to weigh the weight. They are dug from the lotus pond at home. They are absolutely delicious. They cost three cents a pound.
It’s not expensive, isn’t it the same price in previous years?” Song Qiu responded with a smile.
The woman listened and saw that the lotus roots were really pleasing to the eye. The five cents and three kilograms in front were not very fresh, so she hesitated to buy them.
He immediately said: "I plan to buy two lotus roots for soup. Which one is pink? I don't know. You weighed two kilograms of pink lotus roots for me. Don't fool me. The last time I bought the lotus root, I said it was pink.
Yes, it turns out it’s not floury at all when stewed.”
"Auntie, you want to buy pink lotus roots? That's easy to say. Here, I'll cut one open and show it to you, and you'll know."
As Song Qiu spoke, he took out a thick and fat lotus root and a long and thin lotus root, cut them open with a knife, and then pointed the cuts to the woman, "Here, these seven-hole lotus roots
They are pink lotus roots, and the ones with nine holes are crispy lotus roots. When I buy lotus roots, look for this one, and you will definitely buy a good one."
When the people gathered around the stall saw how particular it was to recognize the crispiness of lotus roots, they all found it interesting and even remembered it.
The woman also laughed and said, "Okay, I believe you. Then weigh it for me. I'll go back and try it today. If it's pink, I'll come to you to buy it tomorrow!"
Du Chuanfu quickly picked up the lotus root and weighed it. It was a little more than two kilograms. Song Qiu didn't say much, just six cents would be enough.
Everyone saw that she was so easy-going when doing business, and she was not stingy. They also saw that the lotus roots were good and they were already going to buy vegetables, so they all expressed their intention to buy them immediately.
This one should be pink, that one should be crispy.
All of a sudden, Song Qiu's stall became busy.
After being busy for a while, someone squeezed in from behind. When he saw Song Qiu, his eyes lit up, "I heard that there is a little girl selling lotus roots here, and her shouting is different from other places. Look at this person again."
Everyone around me, I guessed it was you, Miss Song!"
Song Qiu raised his eyes and smiled, "It's Manager Fan. Long time no see. You look more energetic!"
"People feel good when happy events happen! Thanks to Miss Song!" Fan Jin waved his hands and said with a smile. What he said is true. Now his son is already working as a shopkeeper in a shop outside. Of course, he is also more proud in the government.
, this is all because I met Miss Song.
"Is Miss Song selling lotus roots?" Fan Jin was surprised. With the life that Miss Song is living now, why does she still need to set up a stall to sell things by herself? However, he didn't ask any more and said: "Just right, I
I also need to buy some lotus roots. Miss Song, just look at these lotus roots. Give me fifty kilograms of them."
Many of the masters in the house like to drink lotus root soup. When he goes shopping in winter, he often buys lotus roots.
Song Qiu asked Du Chuanfu to weigh fifty kilograms of oranges for him, and then gave him a basket of oranges, asking him to help take them back and give them to the two elders of the Fan family.
Fan Jin accepted it with a smile, paid the money again, asked the boy who followed him to send the things back first, and then continued shopping elsewhere.
Because Song Qiu's stall has always been popular, and people want to buy things to have a good time, Song Qiu's lotus roots are the fastest-selling, and even a lot of oranges are sold.
Seeing that there were not many things left, Song Qiu stopped shouting and asked Du Chuanfu to guard the stall while he planned to go to the market.
Walking forward, there are more than a dozen stalls lined up facing each other. There are three tofu sellers in total. In the whole town, these three are the only ones selling tofu. They are at this location every day. If everyone wants to sell tofu, they usually go straight here.
that is.
Song Qiutou had come here twice to buy tofu. He had long known that among the three, the tofu sold by this two old couple was the most delicious. Their tofu-making skills had been passed down for generations.
.
The other two are slightly worse.
At this time, the old couple's tofu was almost sold out again, and the other two tofu stalls still had a lot left.
Song Qiu secretly looked at the tofu stall for a moment, and saw that the tofu stall on the left was sold by a middle-aged couple, and the tofu stall on the right was sold by a single woman.
This woman's business is better than that of the middle-aged couple. At least there are still people buying tofu in front of the stall.
After thinking about it, she walked towards the middle-aged couple's stall.
When the woman saw a guest coming, she immediately greeted with a smile, "Little girl, are you buying tofu? How much do you want? My tofu is delicious!"
