The sugar water vendor did what he said, and the child really attracted two guests for him. Naturally, he also fulfilled his promise that only charges Xiao Zhao five cents for four bowls of sugar water.
Xiao Ruo saw the whole process. She was very pleased that her baby would not only feel sorry for her family at such a young age, but also learned to bargain without a teacher. She is worthy of being her younger brother!
Four people sat around the temporary wooden table, drinking sweet peach slurry mint water, and the sugar water stall was placed under the camphor tree. The huge crown blocked the dazzling sunlight, and only the fine sunlight penetrated the gap between the leaves.
On the stall.
June is approaching summer, and the sun at noon has begun to show signs of hotness. People who are in the market can feel that they have fine beads of sweat on their bodies.
"It's a bit late this year. In previous years, you can see a lot of herbal teas selling sugar water." The vendor sighed with a lotus leaf as a fan.
"Is it good to be hot? And the tea stall owner, wouldn't you have a better business?" Xiao Ruo wanted to be hot later. There was no air conditioning fan in this world. She had a fire-type superpower, and she was already hot. When she thought of it, she said that
She was a little scared in summer.
"Miss, you haven't done much farm work at first sight." The vendor answered Xiao Ruo's question: "It is said that all seasons are orderly, and all things sometimes have God arranged it. It's hot in the summer, so there will be one this summer.
It may be very hot, and even winter may be particularly cold."
"And if it's very hot, my candy water stall will not be able to open. There are many people in the summer who are so hot that they have no intention of eating my candy water. The rich are willing to buy ice at a high price, and the poor are tens of thousands of yuan.
If God is not kind, it would be great if you can have enough food..."
Xiao Ruo really has no experience in this area, and he couldn't help but fall into thinking after hearing what the vendor said.
According to hawkers, summer in this world is definitely more difficult. Although it is not like the high temperature caused by the urban heat island effect in the previous life, there is no cooling brought by high technology here, so what else can you reduce the heat...
She was too involved and didn't distract her when she heard Xiaoxun call her. She seemed to be saying that he was going to buy something, so she waved her hand and asked him to go by herself.
In addition to the fact that Xiaoxun had not recovered his memory, his body had completely recovered. In addition, he also had some skills in punching and kicking, so she was not afraid that anyone would bully him. After all, she was a young man's character, so it would be okay to go there alone for a while.
"Boss, did you have this summer in the past year?"
"What else can you do? The kid is so happy to swim in the river with only a few butts. But you girls will definitely not go there. I don't have a daughter, I don't know how you girls do it. Maybe they also use a pony fan.
What's the matter?"
"In addition to these, I will eat some fruits and vegetables in the well, make some tea soup and sour plum soup."
When the vendor talked about sour plum soup, Xiao Ruo immediately felt salivation. The iced sour plum soup that was cold for a night in the heat was indeed a great thing in life.
"Sothyrup plums produce salivation and quench thirst, and the iced sour plum soup tastes even more amazing. Unfortunately, the ice price is too high, so we ordinary people can only use well water to keep warm, and the temperature is fast." The vendor also thought of the sour plum soup
It tastes like, let's sigh with a smacking mouth.
Other people who were drinking sugar water on the sugar water stall nodded in agreement and started chatting.
"In previous years, ice was transported from the north, and quilts and straw were wrapped in layers. In this way, only less than half a car left in the twenty trucks of ice to the south. It was really more expensive than gold."
"I heard that all the ice transporters have stopped this year. I'm afraid that if you have money this year, you can't buy ice!"
"Some people say that digging a cellar can hide the ice in winter, so the Zhang family believes it! I dug such a large cellar last year, but in less than March this year, the ice in the hidden area was completely gone and wasted in vain.
A lot of money!”
"I want to tell me, if you want to eat ice, you have to go to the north, or the other side of Dingding North! Even in the imperial city, summer still brings ice from further north..."
"But I heard that the north is not peaceful now. Many people who used to do business in the north have fled to the south..."
Xiaoniao sat on the wooden bench and shook her feet. She drank quickly with her greedy drink. She saw a bowl of peach juice early. Seeing that her younger brother was still drinking in small sips, she was a little envious.
Xiao Ruo looked at the little greedy cat staring at the bowl in Xiao Zhao's hand, knowing that this little guy hadn't drunk enough, so he couldn't ask her a bowl of candy water. It wasn't that he thought that the sugar water worth two cents was expensive, but that he drank it.
I am afraid that she will not be able to eat at night if she has too much.
So he pushed half a bowl of peach juice in front of the little greedy cat and pinched her chubby little face: "Sister, please drink this bowl for you. Don't be impatient, be careful of your stomach aches later."
Xiaoniao laughed twice, thinking that my sister was so nice, she held the bowl and started drinking in small sips.
Listening to everyone's comments, Xiao Ruo did not interrupt. Listening is always the best way to collect information.
"Oh, that's not." The vendor sighed and pointed at the pile of stones inside the sugar water stall. "These piles of stones were bought by one of my neighbors. He used to seek a living in the northwest and owed me ten taels of silver.
He said he had made money there and paid me back. As a result, when he came back at the beginning of this year, he said that the business there could not continue and lost a lot of money. He didn't give me cash to the bank and used this pile of broken stones to pay off my debts."
Looking in the direction of the sugar water vendor's finger, there were indeed dozens of stones of different sizes piled up in the corner of the stall, pink and white, and a few brown patches mixed with.
"He must say that this stone is very valuable, I don't want it. He looked like a slutty face and said that he had no cash. What can I do? I had to take the market to bring it to the market and watch it. Alas..." The vendor shook his head and sighed.
If this neighbor's mother had not saved himself from the water when she was a child and had saved him his life, he would have wanted to send this rogue to see the official!
The vendor was frowning, and everyone sighed as they listened to the story. Only Xiao Ruo's eyes lit up when she saw the pile of stones.
She walked over and rubbed her fingers on the white and white stones for a few times, put them under her nose and sniffed them, then licked her fingers slightly on the tip of her tongue, squinted her eyes and smacked her lips. It was indeed it!
When the vendor saw that the pretty girl had even stuffed her hand that had touched the stone into her mouth, she didn't know what to do.
This girl is so beautiful, and the child who bargained with him just now called her sister. My younger brother is so smart, wouldn't this sister be stupid, right?
"Boss, I heard you just said that you were planning to sell this stone, right?"
"Ah? Yes, yes, girl, do you want to buy it?"
"Yes, how much is the boss going to sell?"
The vendor didn't expect that someone would really want this pile of broken stones. He just saw that the color of the stone was relatively rare and wanted to try his luck.
"Then... my neighbor used it to pay off his debts. He owed me ten taels of silver. If you want it, take it away."
He is not greedy, he doesn't want to make a fortune, he just wants to keep his fortune.
Ten taels of silver! Wow! This offer really made the audience feel cold. Isn’t this hawker stupid? What else is there to besides the special color of this pile of broken stones? Some people want to not open a price casually and bid for ten taels.
Isn’t it obvious that I don’t want to make a deal?
Xiao Ruo thought about the pile of stones that were about 100 kilograms. According to the economic value it could bring, ten taels of silver was simply too cheap.
She was willing to buy it, but her purse was not supported.
The money left by Xiao’s parents and what I saved later were only three or three hundred ounces in total, and the difference between ten ounces was not a small one.
She thought for a while and decided to fight for it again. After all, these piles of stones were so useful to her.
"Boss, I won't hide it from you. I don't have that much money. I can pay up to five taels of silver. If you want us, we can get the money today."
Xiao Ruo admitted that she had the gambling elements. No one here could recognize what this pile of stones was, and the psychological bottom price of the gambling hawker.
The sugar water vendor looked at the ordinary stones in the corner, and finally gritted his teeth and agreed. At least five taels of silver were sold, but if they couldn't sell them, they would take up space for a pile of broken stones.
"That's true! Five taels are five taels! But you said you'll pay it out today, and I don't accept credit here."
Seeing that the vendor agreed to the price, Xiao Ruo breathed a sigh of relief, took out a small piece of silver from his purse and paid it to him.
"This tael of silver is a deposit. Please send this pile of stones to Tzu Chi Hall in the town. At that time, I will definitely offer all the remaining four taels of silver."
The dealer set a place with the vendor, but Xiaoxun didn't know where to buy good things from, so Xiaoruo asked Xiaoxun and the vendor to transport the ordered stones back to Tzu Chi Hall. She took two cubs first, and she wanted to go back quickly
