Chapter 10 Trading

After eating the cake, Kim Dazhong asked a few children if they had anything they wanted to buy?

Several people shook their heads. The poor children were already in charge. They knew that they could save as much as possible. They would not buy this and that just because they had money. Mingsheng also lowered his head and didn't say anything.

"Buy a candy man for Mingsheng." Taohua said.

Mingsheng's head was shrugged, and he raised it up, looking at Taohua in surprise. Taohua nodded at him, and then looked at Jin Dazhong in anticipation.

Kim Dazhong smiled and said readily: "Let's go, go buy the candy person.

He actually saw that his youngest son wanted a candy man, so he just asked on purpose, and he was very pleased with the child's sensibility.

At the booth of the candy seller, Mingsheng looked at the colorful candy person in front of him with some hesitation, not knowing which one is better to choose.

"Let's need this." Taohua said, pointing at Nezha who was vividly pinching.

"Why is this so similar to me?" Ming Sheng asked in confusion.

The candy seller was an old man. After hearing Mingsheng's words, he couldn't help laughing, and his face was full of pleats and knives: "I'm the one who pinched you."

"Grandpa, do you know me?" Mingsheng became even more curious.

"This is Nezha." Jing Sheng said.

"Who is Nezha?" Mingsheng turned to look at Jing Sheng.

Jing Sheng blushed and said unnaturally: "Why do you ask so many questions? Buy it quickly."

In the end, Mingsheng chose that Nezha, and was excited all the way, and kept asking Jingsheng who Nezha was.

Jing Sheng was unable to ask him, so he had to explain: "I don't know either. I heard from the scholars, it's very awesome anyway.

Taohua glanced at Jingsheng, with embarrassment and indescribable desire in her eyes.

The thirteen-year-old boy took up the burden of his family too early, but he was not dissatisfied or wronged, but he just endured it silently. Taohua thought of Jing Sheng in his memory. It seemed that he always liked to write with branches in the yard, muttering words in his mouth. That was the word Su Jinchen taught him, but later I didn't see him write it because his family was poor, right? I knew it was impossible for him to go to school, so I didn't even give myself any hope.

The peach blossoms are a little sad.

"I'll go and hand in the embroidery workshop later. Dad, let's go ahead and see what else to buy," said Li Hua.

"I'll go with you too." Taohua has never been to the embroidery workshop and wants to go and have a look.

"There is nothing to buy. We'll wait for you at the door and then go back together." Jin Dazhong wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, the bag of noodles was still a bit heavy, and he was a little worried if he could get home before dark.

When they arrived at the entrance of the embroidery shop, Jin Dazhong and Jingsheng took Mingsheng and others outside the door. The majority of the people who came here were female members, and they were not suitable for entering.

Tianxiufang is the largest embroidery room in Xicheng, and naturally it also requires high quality of embroidery. Because there is a wharf, the economy and trade are relatively prosperous, and countless embroidery items come in and out of here every day.

The embroidery room is spacious and bright, with many female relatives. From time to time, women or girls take embroidery and leave, with smiles on their faces. This is also the only place where most women in ancient times come to pay.

When he saw Lihua coming in, the little girl who was talking to another woman was hurriedly explaining a few words and then hurriedly ran over.

"Sister Lihua, you are here! Are you here again?" The little girl was very happy to see Lihua.

"Sister Xiao Cui, this is my sister, peach blossom. Peach blossom, this is sister Xiao Cui." Li Hua introduced the two.

Taohua knew that this was a little girl in the embroidery room and had been in charge of the embroidery of Lihua. Before she came, Lihua had already told her.

"Sister Xiao Cui, you are so beautiful!" Taohua said sweetly what every woman has loved to hear since ancient times.

After hearing Taohua's words, Xiao Cui blushed a little, but she looked at Taohua even more pleasantly.

Lihua rolled her eyes from the side, and the little girl said she was addicted.

"Sister Taohua is also very beautiful." Xiao Cui praised.

Taohua smiled shyly.

Lihua handed the package containing the embroidery to Xiao Cui and said, "Give it, can you see if it's OK?"

"Do you still need to read Sister Lihua's embroidery? Wait a moment, I'll calculate the money for you now." Xiao Cui took the package and went to the counter without even looking at it.

Peach blossoms stood on tiptoe and took the opportunity to look at the various embroidery items placed on the table, and whispered to ask the peach blossom about the price.

After a while, Xiao Cui came over with a purse.

"There are three embroidered handkerchiefs, three cents, five purses, ten cents, and a total of thirteen cents. Look, right?" Xiao Cui counted thirteen cents from the purse and handed them to Lihua.

"Of course it's right." Li Hua took over and said.

This is the reward Zhang and Lihua have received after several days of slaughtering. Compared with the price of these embroidered handkerchiefs, they are just in the sky and in the ground.

Through the inquiry just now, Taohua simply learned some of the market conditions of embroidery. Moreover, the price contrast caused by different materials is also very large.

An ordinary coarse cloth embroidered handkerchief costs about five cents, but if it is replaced with silk, it may be sold for twenty cents. If it is silk, it will be even more expensive. This is just ordinary. If it is added with gold and silver thread, or if the material is more superior, it will probably be a few taels or dozens of taels. I was shocked by the peach blossoms. It seems that no matter which time or space, there is no shortage of rich people, and the gap between the rich and the poor is everywhere.

The two of them talked for a few more times, and then Lihua said: "Sister Xiao Cui, I want to embroider some embroidery products to sell them to the embroidery room. I wonder if it's OK?"

"Embroider yourself?" Xiao Cui was obviously stunned for a moment, frowned, and hesitated: "This is a bit unruly."

"Sister Xiao Cui, please help us. Our family is almost out of food. I just want to make more money. Will we share the money you get from selling?" Peach Blossom said pitifully.

Xiao Cui's brows jumped, her face slowed down, she squatted down and held Taohua's hand, but looked at Lihua and said, "Why don't you tell me if you have any difficulties at home? Although this is not in accordance with the rules, we have known each other for so long, so I naturally want to help you, just don't tell others."

"Really? Thank you so much." Lihua said happily.

"Speak quietly." Xiao Cui hurriedly covered Lihua's mouth.

"Yeah." Lihua nodded quickly.

Then I bought some embroidery thread, and the Taohua sisters left the embroidery room.

"You have a way!" Lihua looked back and saw that no one was paying attention, and this time she said happily.

"You have distributed her money, you can pick it up for free, everyone agrees, okay?" Taohua said.

After meeting with Jin Dazhong and others, Lihua couldn't wait to tell what had happened just now.

The few of them were very happy, and now they made more money.

Amid the laughter, the family left the city.

Although the journey back is long and hard, I have life on my shoulders and hope in my heart, so I don’t feel tired. Although my sweat is getting more and more, I feel more and more energetic.

While walking and stopping, seeing that the sun was about to set, Jin Dazhong was a little anxious. Although the road was smooth, there was no village or shop in front of the village. There were vast wheat fields around him, but there were large forests not far away. He might not encounter jackals going down the mountain to find food. He couldn't help but regret taking these children out.

"We have to leave quickly and try to get home before dark." Jin Dazhong kicked and said, and with force, he lifted the falling face bag up again.

"Oh." Several children agreed and stepped up their pace, knowing that the road at night was difficult.

The sun finally dissipated the last bit of residual heat and was swallowed by the darkness.

The world suddenly darkened, and the night wind blew from somewhere, with only the cold wind and the whistling sound of breath in the air.

Taohua tightened her collar, held Mingsheng's hand a little sweaty, and her calves were a little trembling. Looking at Mingsheng, she looked weak, but she only walked with her head down without saying a word. Taohua sighed, her heart full of heartache.

Suddenly, the distant mountains seemed to be alive, and the sound of wolf howlings made people feel panicked.

"Will those wild beasts, will they?..." Li Hua said in panic.

"Don't talk nonsense, those things don't go down the mountain easily. You'll get home in a while, don't think too much." Jin Dazhong said in a quiet voice.

"Yes, my father and I are here, don't be afraid." Jing Sheng said.

"Second sister, why don't we guess the riddle? This way, you won't be afraid." Taohua suggested that it is best to change the topic now. Some questions are the more you think about it.

"Guess the riddle? But I don't know." Li Hua said naughtyly.

"Neither can I. I heard the old man in the village say it before." Taohua lies now without blinking.

"Okay, okay." Mingsheng urged him. He liked to use his brain to guess riddles the most. Among his friends, no one guessed faster than he did.

"Then let's guess as we go." Taohua said.

"It's not a bird that can fly, it has no feathers on both wings, sleeps under the eaves during the day, catch insects and chirp at night. Guess an animal." Peach blossoms gave the title.

"Little Swallow!" Mingsheng rushed to answer.

"Idiot, why can the swallows chirp!" Lihua said, pointing Mingsheng's head.

"Is it an owl?" Jing Sheng asked tentatively.

"The owl has feathers." Kim Dazhong also smiled.

"What the hell is that?" Ming Sheng asked anxiously.

Taohua smiled and was about to answer when she suddenly heard the sound of cars and horses on the road behind her.

Several people looked back and looked around.

A carriage was coming slowly, and stopped when passing by. He lifted the curtain of the car and poked his head out: "Jingsheng?"

"Jinchen?" Jing Sheng was very surprised.

Su Jinchen jumped out of the carriage, looked at Taohua and his group, and said, "Let's go together! Put things on the carriage."

"This, how did this make it?" Jin Dazhong was a little uneasy.

"Uncle Jin, we are all in the same village, and Jingsheng and I are friends. We often go to our house to bother us. Why are we so polite?" Su Jinchen smiled and turned around to the driver who was driving, saying, "A Sheng, go and help bring the things onto the carriage."

The coachman agreed and jumped down, laughed at the shocked people, "Uncle, we're meeting again."

"This, this is not." Jin Dazhong said in surprise, then looked at Su Jinchen: "Is it the game shop opened by Mr. Su?"

"That's not. It's a classmate and friend of mine. I came back late in the afternoon, so I sent me back." Su Jinchen explained with a smile.

When the goods were brought into the carriage, the originally spacious space suddenly became crowded.

Su Jinchen simply walked with everyone, letting the two girls and the little guy Mingsheng get in the car.

The crowd walked towards the four trees in the moonlight.

Several people were talking and laughing along the way, but it was not boring. Jing Sheng told Su Jinchen the title of Taohua.

Su Jinchen lowered his eyebrows and thoughtful.

Peach blossoms saw such a picture through the car window. The moonlight was like water. The eyes of the boy in front of him flashed, like the light emitted by pearls and jade, with a warm temperature. The slightly raised corners of his mouth always make people feel in a good mood. This is such a beautiful boy. Peach blossoms can only be described as beautiful.
