"That won't work."

Lu Xiangge pointed to the small vegetable market behind him: "The market over there sells two handfuls of rice dumpling leaves for one penny, and they haven't given mats yet. The mats at the pier cost two handfuls of rice dumpling leaves for one penny, and you have to pay extra for me.

The price is already the cheapest and cheapest in Jiangjiaba.”

The nine-year-old child's voice is still very soft and crisp, regardless of male or female. Regardless of his dark little face, just listening to the voice is still very joyful.

"Whatever is cheap, what you sell to me is very expensive."

My sister-in-law sincerely wants to buy it, otherwise she wouldn’t be bargaining with a child here.

"Isn't it expensive? I'll let you know."

Lu Sheige didn't seem to expect that his sister-in-law would find it expensive. He stretched out his yellowed but not dirty fingers and counted 123,321. It took him a long time to figure out how to sell it in a cost-effective way.

The aunt watching the fun on the side laughed and said: "Brother, have you settled the account? This time I will make a decision for you. You only need two cents, two handfuls of mat straw, and six handfuls of rice dumpling leaves. It's just right."

This handful of mat can be used to wrap about three handfuls of rice dumpling leaves. Mat is not a rare thing, but having too much would be a waste.

Lu Sheige's eyes widened, and he said with some cleverness: "Yes, but rice dumpling leaves are expensive, and mat grass is not cheap either!"

The look on my face was as if you wanted to lie to me even if you didn't think I was young.

The lady who spoke couldn't help but laugh: "Then why don't you sell them separately?"

Lu Sheige knew how to answer this question. She looked very honest: "Because I came from the dock. There are many rice dumpling leaves there, but no one sells mats."

That’s why I sell mat straw and give away rice dumpling leaves.

Otherwise, who will I sell my rice dumpling leaves to?

Look, how smart I am.

"Hahaha...this child..."

The aunt couldn't help but rub Lu Sheige's head: "Just tell me, can I buy you two handfuls of mats for two cents and give you six handfuls of rice dumpling leaves? If that's okay, I'll buy you two cents too."

No wonder the aunt spoke so cheerfully. She has been floating on the water all her life, sailing, punting, pulling fibers, rocking, sailing... There is no job that she has not done. In the past few years, her family has also bought a big boat, and her life has become more and more popular.

The better she gets, the more her children and grandchildren grow up, so she can be free to live ashore and enjoy peace and happiness.

Seeing what the aunt said, Lu Shengge grinned and nodded happily: "Okay, then I'll give you two cents, two handfuls of mats, and six handfuls of rice dumpling leaves."

After saying that, Lu Xiangge smiled sheepishly and explained: "It's not that we don't give away more rice dumpling leaves, it's because yesterday, our rice dumpling leaves were sold for two handfuls for one penny. Today, the rice dumpling leaves are sold cheaply.

Yes, the people who bought our rice dumpling leaves yesterday would be unhappy if they saw it."

"That's not right." The sister-in-law who was about to buy mats laughed and said, "Now you are selling me three handfuls of rice dumpling leaves for one penny and giving me a handful of mats. Compared with yesterday, isn't it very cheap?"

Lu Sheige immediately hit the snake with a stick: "Yes, yes, I said it was very cheap, and you said it would be even cheaper."

The sister-in-law insisted on letting her go: "It's cheap, so I'll buy it for two cents more. However, I still have a question. If you sell it like this, won't yesterday's customers suffer a loss?"

Lu Sheige said with a serious face: "I'm not at a loss. The rice dumpling leaves I sold yesterday are the same as the mats I sold today. How can they be the same?"

The little man has a dark face, but has thin eyebrows and big eyes, making him very handsome.

Such a lively, smart and good-looking child seems to have grown into the hearts of these ladies and sisters-in-law.

Why are you afraid of black spots? The town is close to a lake, and almost all the children are playing wildly outside. There are few children who are not black.

"Hahaha……"

The ladies and sisters-in-law who were watching the excitement couldn't help but laugh. Even the lady who just spoke couldn't help but smile and tugged on Lu Xiangge's little finger: "You little kid, you are quite smart. Give me four

Those who want to earn some money can make a few rice dumplings to eat on the way when my father and I go sailing. Then we can keep them in clear water and keep them for a few days."

After hearing what the aunt said, the other sisters-in-law also gathered around.

"Then I'll take two cents of mat grass and rice dumpling leaves."

"I also want two cents, but you have to pick it out for me. I don't want it if it's broken."

"Then I'll buy it for a penny too, so that my children won't be greedy to see your children eating rice dumplings."

This area is full of family boating.

Although it is also used for boating, it is different from the small fishing village in Lu Quan.

Their alley extends in all directions, and there are about twenty or thirty families living there. Almost every family has a cargo ship, and they transport goods back and forth with the fleet. Although it is hard work, they also earn a lot.

The women and children of the family live on the shore and are not afraid of wind and rain.

This is the life Qiu yearns for most. The family has a big boat, a house on the shore, and a secure life.

After leaving this alley, Lu Xiaoli couldn't help but look back.

Xiaosi was not idle when she was selling rice dumpling leaves. She kept chatting with the ladies and sisters-in-law. She heard that this alley was also home to people sailing boats.

But people who go boating are different from those who fish in her family. They can buy rice dumpling leaves for two cents at a time, and the clothes of the children running around are much better than those of the children on the fishing boats.

At least, there aren't that many patches.

Just as the siblings turned out of the alley, a group of children rushed out of the alley.

The road, which was not originally wide, immediately became narrow.

Lu Xiaoqing was so frightened that he hurriedly moved aside, not forgetting to drag Lu Xiaoyu, who was walking on the road, to the side of the road.

Even Lu Xiaoli and Lu Sheige subconsciously stepped aside.

Even so, when seven or eight children rushed over, someone still hit Lu Sheige hard on the shoulder.

The collision was so hard that Lu Xiang stumbled and almost fell out.

If she hadn't held on to the wall on the side of the road in time, she might have been hit hard this time.

"Don't you have eyes?"

The boy who hit her was about ten years old. Not only did he not apologize, but he stared at Lu Xiang fiercely with his big eyes. He raised his hand and pushed her, "You are blind."

This boy is probably the mat seller that grandma praised non-stop. She praised him as much as she wanted, but grandma actually compared him with this kid, saying that he only knew how to play around and was worse than a squat little black egg.

.

"You were obviously the one who hit someone first." Before Lu Xiaoyu could jump out, it was Lu Xiaoli who jumped out first.

The boy who hit her opened his eyes even wider. Before his raised hand fell, he pointed at Lu Xiaoli again: "Which of your eyes saw me hitting her?"

"I……"

Before Lu Xiaoli could refute, Lu Sheige stepped forward and stood in front of Lu Xiaoli: "Sorry, I didn't pay attention."

The boy didn't expect Lu Xiangge to apologize. He opened his mouth slightly in shock and looked Lu Xiangge up and down for a long time. Finally, he waved his hand in frustration and squeezed out two words through his teeth: "Coward."
