Chapter 53 An unexpected surprise
In the end, Zhu Pingan did not tell his fourth aunt, because Zhu Pingan’s ancestral hall had not yet come out, and his grandmother came here. She forgot to put pancakes in the food box just now, and her grandmother was worried about her uncle. I wasn't full, so I brought two pancakes over.
Soon, my grandmother’s roar came from the ancestral hall. But my grandmother was biased after all. The thunder was loud and the rain was small, so the uncle was not punished. Zhu Ping'an is almost getting used to this.
There was no wind or rain all night. After breakfast the next day, my grandmother urged Zhu's father to go to town to sell wild boars. The family's finances were too tight. The foodie wild boar was tied up and slept in the yard all night, and was fed a large bowl of food by his grandmother early in the morning. The foodie didn't know what he was going to face, and he ate happily.
Because the wild boar was too big and heavy, my grandmother sent her fourth uncle to follow her to the town. This day happened to be the day when the town's big market opened. Chen's sisters-in-law decided to go together. So a bullock cart carried a wild boar, a large basket of wild flowers that had been laughed at countless times by the family again, and Zhu Ping'an, Zhu Pingjun and Zhu Pingchuan. The cart set off. Behind the car were the fourth uncle, Chen's sisters-in-law, and Zhu's father who was driving the car, and they all set off for the town. It's really a whole family mobilization.
It was crowded and lively, and I didn’t hear any chattering along the way.
"Xie'er, why are you going to sell flowers again?" The fourth aunt was walking beside her. When she saw Zhu Ping'an sitting on the bullock cart and the large basket of dried wild flowers, she couldn't help but want to Laugh at it.
Ms. Chen rolled her eyes.
"Yes, they gave me a classmate last time." Zhu Pingan said seriously and seriously.
As a result, the fourth aunt, the fourth uncle and the eldest aunt laughed even more happily. Do you really think that a copper plate is the money you paid for it? It was probably given to you by someone who thought you were stupid.
The fourth aunt made a start here, and everyone in the family began to tease Zhu Pingan. After all, it was boring all the way, so it was good to have someone to amuse.
The first person to bear the brunt is the fourth uncle. The fourth uncle is carefree and has a unique way of teasing.
"Shu'er, do you know why grandma asked us to sell pigs?" the fourth uncle asked maliciously.
"Exchange money." Zhu Pingan replied calmly.
The fourth uncle's face became more malicious when he heard this, and he deliberately frightened Zhu Ping'an, "Yes, it's just to exchange money. But our family still lacks a lot of money. So, just selling the pigs is not enough. Yes, we still have to sell people.”
As soon as the fourth uncle finished speaking, Zhu Pingan clearly felt Zhu Pingjun, who was sitting next to him, tremble all over, being frightened by the fourth uncle's words.
Sir, that’s how bad you are! Zhu Pingan was very disdainful.
Of course, Zhu Pingan also cooperated and looked scared. The little chubby face shook and asked, "Who are you selling it to?"
Zhu Pingjun also turned to look at the little boy. Fourth uncle expressed his concern.
The fourth uncle was very happy when he saw Zhu Pingan's scared look, and deliberately said to Zhu Pingan without hesitation, "Of course I'm selling you."
The fourth uncle thought his words would frighten the little kid Zhu Pingan into crying, but he didn't expect that Zhu Pingan grinned, "Hahaha, I knew the fourth uncle was worthless."
Waiting The fourth uncle who saw the joke was dumbfounded. It was not a question of who was worth the money.
Mr. Chen was the first to laugh, followed by the third aunt, the eldest aunt, and the fourth aunt, and the fourth uncle was laughed at and kicked by the fourth aunt.
When we arrived in the town, we all divided into several groups. The eldest aunt and Chen’s sisters-in-law went to the female workers’ shop that they often frequented to sell the purses they sewed, and by the way, they bought some colored threads and other female workers’ goods. supplies. The fourth uncle and Zhu's father went to sell wild boars. Zhu Pingchuan led Zhu Ping'an to sell wild flowers. Of course, everyone except Zhu's father and Chen family laughed at him.
It was the last time at the Medicine Hall Jimin Hall. As soon as they entered the door this time, one of the two young apprentices came over with a smile on his face.
"You guys are here, the honeysuckle in the shop is almost out of stock again." This young apprentice was the one who almost turned away the two brothers Zhu Ping'an last time, and he was very enthusiastic this time.
Zhu Pingchuan was carrying a large backpack and didn’t know what to say.
Zhu Ping'an's cute little chubby face was full of smiles, "Haha, that little brother has to give us a higher price."
Over there, he was twirling his beard and reading a medicine book. experienced traditional Chinese medicine practitioner Hearing this, he couldn't help but smile, "As long as the honeysuckle is of good quality, it doesn't matter if I give you a few more coins."
Hearing this, Zhu Ping'an's little chubby face smiled even brighter, "Thank you, old miracle doctor."
The honeysuckle picked this time is still considered to be of high quality. It costs 50 cents per catty just like last time. The difference is that this time it is a large basket of honeysuckle, not Zhu Pingan’s small basket last time. This time there are a total of 5 catties and 6 taels of honeysuckle. 3 money, which is 267 Wen according to the price. Because the old Chinese medicine doctor spoke out, the young apprentice made his own decision and gave Zhu Ping'an and the others 270 Wen.
Before going out, the old Chinese medicine doctor kindly reminded that the flowering period of honeysuckle was coming, and asked Zhu Pingan and others to go back and pick it quickly.
After leaving the medicine hall, Zhu Pingan and his eldest brother put the copper coins in their backpacks, and then covered them with rags.
Zhu Pingan and his eldest brother gained a lot, and Chen over there also had an unexpected surprise.
Ms. Chen and her sisters-in-law went to their usual shop of female workers and sold the bags they had worked hard for for most of the month. A purse is not simply sewing the cloth together, but requires many processes, including gaps, embroidery, etc. It takes about two days to make a purse. They want to make the purses made by Chen and others, because the pattern is not new and the fabric used is relatively cheap cotton, so the purses they worked so hard to make are not very valuable. A wallet is about 10 yuan.
"You are really sisters-in-law. You don't even have to choose the craftsmanship. The price is still the same. It's 10 yuan each. You can still use it." The female shopkeeper of the store is charming and treats people with the same enthusiasm as before, which makes people feel that they are valued. .
The price is the same as before, of course Chen and the others have no objection. The eldest aunt and the third aunt did eight jobs and got eighty cents. Chen only did 7 and got 70 coins. The fourth aunt made nine and got ninety cents, which was the most money. She was very happy.
"Please ask the shopkeeper to see if you can collect these three purses."
When the eldest aunt and others were about to leave, Ms. Chen stopped after thinking for a while, and then He took out three purses that were different from everyone else's and called out to the female shopkeeper.
These three purses are made of rags that Zhu Pingan brought back last time. Many of those rags are made of very good materials, including silk, satin and gauze. Chen's three This purse is made of good materials. If the fabric is not enough, just a few pieces are pieced together.
The female shopkeeper took it and touched it, with a smile on her face, "It's quite novel, and the material is good. Let's do this. I'll charge 15 for each, no, 20 for each. You see how it works."
< br>Ms. Chen’s heart beat very fast, 20 cents, 20 cents each. Happiness came too suddenly. (End of this chapter)
