"My wife, are you feeling sorry for me?" If he wasn"t tired, what kind of road had he not walked through when he grew up in the mountains? Besides, this road had been built before, and it was much flatter. Wife, I"m going to start running now. Sit tight. "
With that said, Xiao Yiming started to run like the wind.Luo Manman held onto the basket, afraid that the two baskets would fall down, "Yi Ming, slow down, I"m afraid …" Actually, she was afraid that he would be too tired.
"Alright, my wife, it"s about time. We"ll be in town in half an hour."
It was not easy at all. The ravine was very remote. It would take at least an hour and a half to get to a town. It would take less than two hours for an ox-cart to arrive.
"Yiming, why don"t we take the ox-cart next time?" Luo Manman suggested."No, daughter-in-law, this ox-cart is not cheap. We need to spend 12 coins to buy it. This can save us a lot of money."
Xiao Yiming picked up the towel hanging around his neck, wiped off his sweat, and started to increase his pace. "My wife, do you think I"m walking too slowly?"
When Luo Manman heard this, she became anxious: "I was afraid that you would be tired, don"t think too much.""Hehe, so my wife loves me dearly. I"m not tired." The two chatted and laughed, and soon reached stonecrop.
At this time, the white light of the fish at the edge of the sky had already disappeared. The sky was bright and the sun was rising from the east, releasing a pink glow that covered the entire stonecrop with a layer of red light.
The hazy outline of the old town began to become clear, and the cold streets began to become lively. People began to gather on the streets paved with limestone, and there were booths on both sides of the streets.
Xiao Yiming parked the cart next to the pork stall beside the stone dragon bridge. Then, he saw the pork vendor call out to him: "Yiming, why are you so late today? Having a wife is different. "With an ambiguous smile, he chuckled.
"Zhu Xiaokang, your business today is not bad. Look at this big piece of pork, it"s obviously missing a corner.However, this Zhu Xiaokang was a pork dealer in the next village. Usually, in these thirteen villages in the mountains, the people who raised pigs would let Zhu Xiaokang kill them and negotiate a good price to pull them away.
Zhu Xiaokang was 30 years old, his family had two children, a loyal and playful man, he was a good person, his income was stable, his family had rented a stall in the stonecrop for a long time, with a stable source of income, his days were comfortable and comfortable.
Xiao Yiming was very familiar with him, every time they went into the town, he would stop the flatcar beside his stall for protection.
"That"s right, today"s business is not bad. You should know that I have left a few ribs for you, so when you go back, you can take them with you to supplement your daughter-in-law." Zhu Xiaokang began to return to his normal form and said generously.
"How can I be embarra.s.sed? You sell it first. "Kang, it"s getting late, I won"t be keeping up with your family"s business, I need to hurry and find a stall."Xiao Yiming took down a basket as he said this. Seeing that Luo Manman was about to pick up another basket, he quickly said, "Wifey, let"s sell our groceries first. Let"s set this thing aside for the upcoming meeting."
"Oh." Luo Manman awkwardly retracted her hand, smiled at Zhu Xiaokang, and followed behind Xiao Yiming.
"This Xiao Yiming"s wife is a little interesting, it seems like he has grown a little fleshy. It seems like Brother Xiao did not treat his wife badly."The two of them walked along the street, where there were rows of shops on both sides of the street. As Luo Manman followed closely behind, she did not forget to enjoy the bustling market in the ancient times.
This town was quite large. The two of them walked through a street and finally found an empty booth to settle down.
"Wifey, let"s do it here. I came a bit late today and there aren"t any good seats left." Xiao Yiming took out a woven bag from the basket and laid it on the ground, then he poured the little wood products out of the basket one by one.
Small wooden spoons, wooden shovels, wooden bowls, wooden combs, wooden seasoning boxes... Scattered around a pile.
When Xiao Yiming arrived, he took out another woven bag and spread it on the ground as he sat down on his b.u.t.t, then waved at Luo Manman. "Wife, stop standing there, come sit."
"I"m not tired, take a seat." Luo Manman looked around at the stalls, which one of them did not have a table neatly placed there? If it was placed like Xiao Yiming, the prices of the goods would drop.The funniest thing was the one selling the cabbages next to Xiao Yiming …
The hawker nearby did his best to shout, "The vegetables have been sold! Fresh Chinese cabbage has been picked from the fields this morning! They don"t taste good or they don"t want money! One catty, two catties, eight catties! Hurry up and buy them!"
"Sugar gourd, crispy and delicious, a string of three words."
Luo Manman watched from the sidelines as she set up her stall.
"Yiming, why aren"t you yelling?" Luo Manman pondered on how she could sell off these things.
"Wifey, this isn"t something to eat. What"s with that voice, is it tired? "Sit down. When we close up, I"ll take you to the clothing store to buy some clothes." Xiao Yiming smiled brilliantly, earning money was for his wife to spend.
Luo Manman"s heart soured. Just as she was about to speak, she saw an aunt carrying a vegetable basket standing at the stall. "Young man, how many spoons of rice are there?"
"Auntie, it"s not expensive. It"s only five coins." Xiao Yiming laughed honestly."This one costs five pieces of gold. It"s a bit expensive, and the style isn"t that good either?"
"How about this, I"ll give you less …"
"Hey, big sis, where"s the rice spoon? Are there many family members? " Luo Manman couldn"t help but interrupt at this moment.How cheap was fifty grams, to think that Xiao Yiming had to work so hard with such meticulous craftsmanship.
Luo Manman felt pain, and a light flashed across her eyes. With that kind of posture, she let go of those wood products, and let me do it.
"Who is this young lady?" The aunt was dressed in dark red clothes with a simple style."Aunt, this is my wife." Xiao Yiming continued.
"My daughter-in-law really knows how to talk. I"m already in my fifties, and she still calls me Big Sis?" The aunt laughed so much that she bared her fangs and brandished her claws.
It seemed that this woman was the same in both ancient and modern times. She loved to be beautiful and listen to good words. Wasn"t this too simple?
The clothes were clean and tidy. It was obvious that she was from a well-off family.
Luo Manman laughed familiarly: "No way, big sister, if you didn"t say it, I would have thought you weren"t even forty years old. "You"re too young. Oh, right. Big Sis, this rice spoon is very practical. The edges are polished and smooth, and all of them are handmade. Wuwen is already very cheap."
"This, but I still think it"s expensive?" The aunt stammered in embarra.s.sment."How about this, auntie, a wooden bowl, a rice spoon, two small wooden spoons, a wooden spatula, a seasoning, it just so happens to be a whole set in the kitchen. Originally, six dishes would have cost 42 words.
The elder sister hesitated for a moment, but was unable to resist Luo Manman"s enthusiasm, she clenched her teeth and said: "Fine, just because you are a young wife, I will take all of it, since my family has a lot of people, I will have to use all of them.""Alright, elder sister is too straightforward. I"ll help you put it in the vegetable basket."
"Young wife, this is 36 gold coins, you can count it." The aunt took out a pile of coins from her purse and handed it over.
Luo Manman took the copper coin and threw it onto Xiao Yiming"s chest: "What are you counting, look at how steady Big Sis is, she definitely won"t miss me."Just a moment ago, when this aunt was counting the money, she had already measured the copper coin with her eyes.
"Ai, your little daughter-in-law really knows how to speak. Auntie will come visit you next time."
"Alright, elder sister, take care. It"s good that you use it, come back next time." After Luo Manman finished her gaze, she saw Xiao Yiming staring at her with his mouth agape.
"What"s wrong, Yiming? Did I sell myself for too little?" Luo Manman scratched her head, looking a little embarra.s.sed.
"It"s not my daughter-in-law. You"re too amazing. You can sell six of them in one go. Normally, I can only charge 25 gold coins for these. How could you sell them so many?"
Did he find a treasure? He didn"t think that his usually shy daughter-in-law would be so good at talking. She made him so moved that he wanted to take out a copper coin to buy something.
"Seeing how hard it is for you to do these kinds of wood ch.o.r.es, coupled with the fact that you"ve already done very well, I"m not willing to sell it at a low price." Luo Manman pursed her lips and laughed, squatting down, she sorted the wood products and matched them well.During this time, he stopped for another two people. Luo Manman saw that someone was walking closer to him and shouted with a clear voice: "Don"t miss out on those who are pa.s.sing by, eating 3 things only requires 15 minutes, eating 6 things in the kitchen only requires 36 minutes, and buying everything that you want, all of you come to take a look. If not practical, no money is needed."
Although Luo Manman had an unremarkable appearance, a dark and thin figure, but her voice was loud and crisp. Originally, she was just pa.s.sing by to look at the people at the stalls, but someone began to ask curiously, "Little girl, what is eating three treasures, it sounds so fresh.""Uh, this is the Three Treasures of Eating." Luo Manman scooped up a spoonful of rice and a spoonful of rice before fusing them into a set in a naughty manner.
"The trees have a natural woody fragrance to them, coupled with the rice, the food is delicious." Luo Manman was beaming with joy as she explained.
"How much?" It"s all right for the children. " Some women asked, this small wooden bowl is also exquisite, it is good for the child at home to use, because the child uses the porcelain bowl easy to break."Six words for one set only costs 15 words. It"s for the best. Big Sis, come on. "
"There"s no need to be so expensive for a porcelain bowl. You"re selling it for too much …" The woman hesitated.
Luo Manman did not explain, because she saw that many people were looking in their direction, her small mouth hurriedly matched the clear words, accompanied by a vivid expression: "Eating three treasures, kitchen six treasures, basic items of the house, sold at a cheap price, come and take a look."Hearing these new words made the pa.s.sersby feel refreshed. Most people liked to join in the fun. If one or two people joined in, five or six would join in.
Many people started talking at once, "Little girl, how much is this for?"
"Young daughter-in-law, what are these called?" The crowd included both men and women, both young and old.
The two women searched for a long time, but were unable to find anything. Luo Manman looked around with her black eyes, focusing on a young man.
"Big brother, buy a kitchen set of six items. Just look at the exquisite workmanship, we don"t need 50 or 40 coins right now, as long as it"s 36 coins, it"s worth a lot. Take it home and this woman will definitely praise you. They say you will live and buy things. "
