Chapter 154 Mom, don’t scare me
The Taidang Mountain Market is famous throughout the country. It usually only takes place on the fifth day of every month, and only lasts for half a day.
The location is at the "Dawan Mountain" at the foot of Taidang Mountain. When Taidang Mountain bypassed here, a particularly large square was left behind, which was connected to most of the villages. Therefore, the ancestors of the time chose the location wisely.
Got here.
Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu stayed at home and were responsible for cooking and cleaning. This time Ye Yuran took Mrs. Li and two sisters-in-law Zhu Bamei out.
One is Li, who has a sharp tongue and is a good salesperson. The other, Zhu Bamei, is getting older and needs to see the world.
Although Zhu Bamei screamed fiercely in front of her family, when she went out and saw so many strangers, she was actually a little shy.
When they set up the stall and Ms. Li started selling at the top of her lungs, she stood beside her, blushing and not making a sound for a long time.
"What's so embarrassing about this? Even if you shout wrong, not many people will care. Just follow me and just shout with your eyes closed." Probably because of looking at those bracelets, Mrs. Li is still more interested in Zhu Bamei.
Patient.
Zhu Bamei hesitated and said with a red face: "I can't shout."
"It's okay, just shout after me and tell me that the bracelets are for sale, the beautiful bracelets are sold for one penny, two cents, the beautiful bracelets..."
Zhu Bamei was encouraged for a long time before finally shouting: "Bracelets are for sale!"
It was a little soft at first, and the voice was completely covered by Li's words, but after shouting, it seemed to be just that, and after shouting a few more times, it was louder.
Zhu Bamei's eyes were bright and she looked very happy.
Ye Yuran saw that they were already on the road, but he didn't pay much attention and ran to other people's stalls.
In addition to some jams, crab sauce, and bracelets that they brought to sell, most people brought home-raised chickens, ducks, etc., as well as eggs and duck eggs.
Ye Yuran was not interested in these. After all, after eating cooked screws, the chickens at home gradually became flesh-colored and laid more eggs. She did not intend to waste money on these things.
Before treating Zhu Qi, Ye Yuran spent all the savings accumulated by the original owner, leaving her hands empty. Even if she wanted to buy something, there was nothing she could do.
"What are you talking about?" A young girl passed by and caught a glimpse of the colorful things hanging on the shelves in Li's stall.
This shelf was Ye Yuran's idea. She asked the men in her family to help her build a "gan"-shaped bracket with many small forks on it, and hung the bracelets neatly on it, which was easy and beautiful.
"Bracelet." Mrs. Li happily stretched out her hand. She also had two or three strings on her wrist, including twine, cloth strips and brown leaves. Not to mention, they looked pretty together.
"So beautiful!" The young girl had never seen this before and was immediately attracted.
"Of course it's beautiful. My sister-in-law worked hard and took a long time to compile this. Take a look and see which one you like. I'll ask my sister-in-law to introduce it to you. This thing is not only beautiful, but also has a metaphorical meaning.
good."
The little girl chose a bracelet that was wider and brighter in color: "This is beautiful."
Li immediately pulled Zhu Bamei out. Although she could make up countless nice "metaphorical meanings (this was also Ye Yuran's idea)", she didn't know what the name of this weaving method was.
When Zhu Bamei saw that the other party was a little sister two years older than herself, she felt more confident, so she told the other party clearly what kind of "weaving method" it was and what it meant.
Mrs. Li was still chatting with her, helping Zhu Bamei make up for her mistakes.
After a while, the young girl was moved, but when she asked about the price, this kind of thing actually cost 3 copper coins?
"This is too expensive. I can buy a meat bun for two cents..." She hesitated immediately.
At this time, Mrs. Li took action and told the other party that it was not that the bracelet was expensive, but that the little girl had good taste and picked out the most beautiful one. This thing is not easy to make up, and her sister-in-law paid Bai Ya for this one.
Ya's fingers were all red and it took several days to recover.
"I'm telling you, if you eat the meat buns, they will be gone. But if you buy this bracelet, you can wear it for a long time. You have to buy rouge, gouache and the like, right?"
"Everything costs money. Rouge and gouache don't last as long as it does. Moreover, it is unique. As long as you take good care of it, you can wear it for several years without any problem."
"We have a good relationship, but if it doesn't work out, I'll sell it to you for a penny cheaper, but you must not tell others, otherwise my business will be difficult to do."
…
Li is very smart and knows when to give in.
She had seen this bracelet and it looked big, but in fact when she saw Zhu Bamei knitting it, it didn't seem to take much effort and she knitted it quickly.
She said it in such an exaggerated way, but she just wanted to make the other person feel that the purchase was worth it.
Although hesitant, the young girl really liked it, and after being encouraged by Mr. Li for a long time, she gritted her teeth and bought it.
"If it breaks, I'll come find you."
After hearing this, Mrs. Li knew there was a way and said with a smile: "Okay, you can come to me when you get there. I live in Zhujia Village. When you get there, just ask Mr. Zhu's house and you will be able to find out immediately.
Our family. Let me tell you, after a while, our family will sell rouge, which is cheaper than outside. If you want it, come and have a look when you have time. If you can introduce me to three or more people, then
I can also secretly give you a cheaper price."
The young girl's eyes suddenly lit up: "Does your family have rouge?"
Mrs. Li immediately asked her to keep her voice down and whispered a few words into her ear.
The young girl looked shocked and said: "You are so lucky to have met such a powerful mother-in-law!"
Mrs. Li looked proud: "Of course, I also think I am extremely lucky."
As for the little girl who was criticized by her family after she returned home and still insisted that her "spending" was worth it, that was what happened later.
When Mrs. Li was "fooling" the little girl, Zhu Bamei was watching from the side, dumbfounded: Oh my god, the fourth sister-in-law is so good, no wonder my mother asked me to learn more from the fourth sister-in-law, if I am so good at deceiving people...
She thought of the days when she entered the Gaomen Courtyard and deceived the whole family into living there. It was so beautiful.
Ye Yuran walked around and saw a lot of people gathered around her stall when she came back.
Zhu Bamei was busy collecting money there, and Mrs. Li smiled and introduced to everyone the things on her stall, whether it was ordinary jam or crab sauce, she was blown away by it.
A large spoonful of jam is not as good as meat, but such a spoonful only costs two cents, including the price of an egg.
But is one egg enough for the whole family? It’s definitely not enough, but her jam is different. You’ve all tasted it. It’s so sweet that adults and children can all share it. It can be used to dip cakes, porridge, etc.
