Chapter 14

Shi Tou, who was still talking to Old Mrs. Xu, heard the door opening behind him. He turned around and saw only a figure before hearing the bathroom door closing.

“Second sister, are you in a hurry to pee?”

“How could you say that about your second sister? Do you want to be beaten?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Tou was hit hard on the head.

Shitou covered his head and turned around to look at Xu’s father with resentment: “Dad, why did you hit me on the head so early in the morning? I might get hit so hard that I won’t be able to get into college.”

“If you can’t get into college, I’ll beat you silly now so you don’t have to find out later.”

Shitou covered his head and ran away: “No.”

After taking a shower, Xu Leshu felt that her skin was smoother. When she looked in the mirror, she found that her pores were smaller.

“It still works.” Xu Leshu touched her face. If she wanted to completely remove the pores, she would have to eat another one.

I came out of the bathroom just in time for breakfast.

“Nannan, why are you taking a shower so early in the morning? Is it too hot at night?”

Before Xu Leshu could say anything, she asked again, “Is the fan in the room no longer working? How about I buy you a new one?”

Shitou, who was holding a bowl, raised his hand and said, “Grandma, I’m hot too. I want a fan, too.”

Old Lady Xu hit him with the end of the chopsticks in her hand: “Do I look like an electric fan?”

Shitou pouted and looked at his grandmother angrily but dared not say a word. This bias was too obvious.

“It’s not hot, grandma, it’s just that my head is a little itchy, so I took a bath by the way.”

“Hey, auntie, why are you bringing a small table with you to the market? Xiaoshu and Shitou are going too.”

I met an acquaintance who was also going to the market in the yard below.

Old Mrs. Xu smiled and nodded: “Yes, you are not going to work today?”

Old Mrs. Xu didn’t say they were going to sell things, she just greeted them vaguely.

When they met acquaintances along the way, they were all puzzled as to why they were going to the market with a small table and a basket full of things.

It was just past six in the morning, but the open space next to the park was already filled with various stalls.

Many people come to grab a seat in the middle of the night.

It was only six in the morning and the good seats were basically gone.

Shitou carried the basket and looked around.

A little anxious: “Second sister, I told you to come earlier, but you didn’t believe me. Now all the good seats are taken. There is no room left.”

Xu Leshu looked at the crowded market, where all kinds of things were for sale.

There are live chickens, ducks, rabbits, geese for sale; fish, shrimp, crabs and all other seafood; as well as fabrics for clothing.

Xu Leshu didn’t want to sell in this market, so she turned and walked to the side.

Shitou quickly grabbed her and said, “Second sister, why are you leaving? This is the most crowded place.”

“We don’t sell it here, we’ll go to another place.”

“Where are we going?” Old Mrs. Xu was also puzzled. Shouldn’t we sell these hair ties in crowded places? .

Xu Leshu walked in front: “Hair ties are sold to young girls. Let’s go to the cannery and the garment factory to sell them first, and then we’ll come to the market later.”

After listening to this, Old Mrs. Xu nodded and said, “That’s right. The people who come to the market now are all elderly people and children like them. Those who have the purchasing power are not able to afford it yet.”

It was not far from the market, about one kilometer away, and we stopped on the roadside that must be passed by the cannery and garment factory.

Xu Leshu looked at this location, which was under a big tree. Even if the sun came out in a while, it would not be exposed to the sun.

The table was lowered and the blue checked cloth that covered the basket was spread over the table.

Various styles of hair ties are arranged in order above.

As soon as they put it on the table, people passing by stopped.

“Eh? This hair tie is pretty nice, how much is it?”

“This is Sister Liangmao.” Shitou quoted the price with a sweet smile.

Xu Leshu looked up at the person who came, a girl about twenty years old, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt with floral patterns and black pants.

There were two braids in the same hair, and the hair was tied with an ordinary blue winding hair tie.

The girl was holding a pink bow hairband in her hand, and when she saw Xu Leshu take out the ones with pearls and diamonds, her eyes lit up.

Xu Leshu introduced them to her: “These are 20 cents each, and this one is 50 cents.”

The girl’s eyes moved away from her hair tie and looked at Xu Leshu who was speaking.

I was stunned when I saw her face. Her face was like a peeled egg, without any impurities or spots. Most importantly, she was so beautiful.

My eyes were attracted by the hair tie at the end of her hair, a turquoise arc bow with two pearls hanging on it, which made her skin look whiter and more beautiful.

The girl looked at the hair with bright eyes: “How much is the hair tie in your hair?”

Xu Leshu smiled and took out the same hair ties from the bottom of the basket, which came in blue, black, red, turquoise and green.

“This kind of thing is cheap.”

“Eighty cents! That’s too expensive.” The girl hesitated when she heard that it only cost eighty cents.

Shi Tou swallowed nervously and said, this price is too unscrupulous.

Xu Leshu calmly picked up a light blue one: “It’s not expensive at 80 cents. Look at this style. It’s the only one in Jiangyuan City.”

“Even in Beijing and Lu City, there is no hair tie of this style. And the diamonds on it and the two pearls, these are all going to cost a lot of money.”

“I only made 80 cents from selling it to you, and I don’t make any money.”

Seeing the love in the girl’s eyes, Xu Leshu smiled and put the hair tie on her hair, then handed her the mirror to look at.

“Do you think it looks good? This green color really suits my skin, it makes it look whiter.”

“Yes, she is very pretty, sister.” Shitou saw her hesitation and like, and followed her with sweet words.

Xu Leshu looked at the girl holding the mirror and continued, “I only have three or four styles, and the total cost is only two yuan.”

Hearing this, the girl nodded. Yes, such beautiful hair ties only cost about two yuan for several of them. She just needed to buy fewer snacks.

The girl picked out one of each style, and chose two of the 80-cent ones, one blue and one turquoise.

The main thing is that it looks really good on the stall owner.

Xu Leshu smiled and said, “Two dollars and thirty cents in total.”

Xu Leshu picked up a black hair tie with a pearl on it and said, “You are my first customer today. I won’t give you a discount for a small business, but I’ll give you this hair tie.”

The girl, who was originally feeling a little heartbroken, saw that Xu Leshu actually gave her one directly.

I instantly felt like I had made a profit and happily gave her the money: “Okay, I’ll promote it for you when I go to work.”

Shitou watched his second sister casually fool around with a few words, and the other party was so gullible that she actually bought it, and it was two yuan and thirty cents at a time.

It seems that the other party thought she had made a profit and was very happy.

Xu Leshu patted his head and said, “Control your anger and try to attract customers to buy from me.”

Shitou looked at the person walking away and said, “Second sister, if they knew that these things of yours were not worth so much money, would they come to return them?”

Xu Leshu placed the board with the introduction in front of the table.
