The next day, both Dalang and Niu'er went to the town, and Niu'er followed Liu Cui'er and Li Baozhu.
In fact, it was not that the two sisters-in-law were too busy with the work in the market, but Su Ruyi said that they still needed to take the child to see more people. The two women readily agreed when they thought that their son did lack the appearance of a man.
Dalang asked Su Ruyi to stay with him.
On one side of the gatepost of the town, the old woman had already opened her stall. Knowing that Su Ruyi was coming, she didn't have the strength to raise her head and glare at her, so she pretended not to see it with a straight face.
Su Ruyi asked Da Lang to wait with the basin, and went around the town pretending to fetch water. After coming out, she also opened her stall. Today she not only sells water but also pancakes.
In the basin was placed a large bowl of cut golden cakes, vegetable leaves, and whole cakes.
Su Ruyi asked to put the basin next to the bucket, "Da Lang, remember how to shout, right?"
Dalang nodded: "Remember!"
The old woman over there suddenly shouted at the top of her lungs: "Sell water! Use a good bowl to drink good water. Drinking good water will bring you good luck. I guarantee you good weather and a bumper harvest next year!"
This voice was really loud. Su Ruyi was very happy when she heard it, and the person on the other side also went back to use her brain. But this was too exaggerated. Did someone drink a bowl of water and have the effect of praying to the Buddha?
But people just like to hear good things. Even if they know it is false, they are willing to deceive themselves just for the sake of "good weather and good harvest."
The middle-aged man who came to the town really became curious and walked over to look at it: "Are you really the immortal water? Why do you still care about the good weather after drinking it?"
The old woman said: "No, look at our bowl. Is it something ordinary people can afford? This is a bowl that only wealthy officials can afford. If you use it, you will definitely get it." A little bit of their blessing!”
"Really, then I really have to drink a bowl!"
The man had a water bottle slung around his waist, but he still happily gave the money. He knelt down amidst the old woman's nervous instructions and drank the water carefully.
Dalang gritted his teeth: "Third Aunt, next time I will definitely see it before her and shout before her!"
Su Ruyi: "Dalang, please change your previous instructions..."
When a figure appeared in the distance in front of him, Dalang immediately started shouting loudly. The child's voice was clear and uplifting, which made people like it.
"Sell water! Sell water! Use a good bowl to drink good water. Drinking good water will bring you good luck. I guarantee you good weather and a bumper harvest next year! Drink our water and eat pancakes for free——"
Almost at the same time, the old woman opposite also shouted, but the shouting died down after the shouting.
He looked over with hatred: "You learn from me!"
Su Ruyi smiled at her, turned around and began to greet the two women who looked like mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who were attracted by Dalang's voice.
They looked at the old woman opposite and turned around: "Why is your water so powerful?"
Su Ruyi: "No, look at our bowl. Is it something that ordinary people can afford? This is a bowl that only wealthy officials can afford. If you use it, you will definitely get it." A little bit of their blessing!”
"Yo! You really know how to speak!"
The older woman said with a smile on her face, staring straight at the bowl. What a bowl. Such bowls were not sold in any of the shops she went to. They had to go to high-end shops to get them.
"This bowl is rare. I don't know how much it costs."
"150 Wen."
The faces of the two women changed. They knew it was expensive, but they didn't expect it to be so expensive. The look in their eyes when they looked at the bowl changed from surprise and love at the beginning to surprise and vague fear.
"150 Wen... Why did you break it?"
Older women speak softer.
Su Ruyi smiled and said: "There are so many people drinking water, so sometimes it's inevitable to bump it, that's it."
"Then - how much did that person lose?"
"What are you paying for? I didn't do it on purpose. I'm doing business. You can't be too stingy."
Just listen to the old woman opposite shouting at the top of her lungs: "Sisters, come to me to drink water! My bowl is better than theirs!"
The peasant woman looked back and saw that the water seller opposite was about the same age as herself. She immediately felt friendly and got up and walked to the opposite side.
Dalang became anxious and shouted: "Our family can still eat pancakes!"
The two of them still hesitantly went there. The aunt opposite was so proud that she opened her mouth and said a lot of auspicious words.
The two peasant women listened a little distractedly.
"Your bowl is also 150 Wen?"
"More than that! My bowl is better than theirs! My bowl costs 200 Wen!"
The aunt opened her mouth boldly and risked her life!
The two peasant women trembled, "This breaks..."
"Bah, bah, what did you say? You can't break it!"
The first thing she said was to break the bowl. This woman really can't speak!
The two women stood up in a hurry. This bowl was untouchable. It cost 200 yuan. Judging from the appearance of the stall owner, if it broke, they would have to pay 10% off!
Su Ruyi smiled and shouted: "Auntie, if you are not thirsty now, come and try our pancakes for free! Try to see if they are delicious!"
"That's right, we brought water with us and haven't drunk it yet. Let's go over and try their cakes!"
Water seller: "Hey--"
The two of them returned to Su Ruyi's side.
Su Ruyi handed the two small pancakes: "Try them!"
"for free?"
"I don't want the small one, I only pay three cents for the big one."
It’s only three cents, so that’s not bad.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were frightened by the 150 and 200 Wen bowls. Suddenly they felt relieved when they heard that the pancakes only cost three Wen, and they felt that the three Wen pancakes were not expensive at all.
The two of them took a bite of the pancake and immediately shouted, "This pancake is so delicious! How was it made?"
Su Ruyi smiled: "I can't tell you this, our family depends on this for a living!"
"Yes, yes, how can you tell people this casually!"
The two of them laughed, and half of the tension they felt on the opposite side disappeared. This young woman was actually generous and kind, and her smile put people at ease.
The young peasant woman stared at Su Ruyi's bowl and asked tentatively: "Don't you feel bad if someone breaks your bowl and you don't let them pay for it?"
"I don't feel bad. I have to use it for others to use. Even if it is broken, as long as the other person didn't mean it, I can't blame others, right?"
The two of them didn't know whether it was true or not, but it was a good idea not to let the guests pay compensation, so they nodded repeatedly.
Su Ruyi simply picked up the bowl and handed it to them: "Take it and take a look."
The woman who looked like a mother-in-law quickly caught it with both hands and squatted on the ground. She had it all in hand. She just took a closer look. It was so beautiful. The texture was so delicate. There was also tweed tonight. How could those craftsmen who made bowls be so capable? ?
"Can you really get good luck if you drink water from this bowl? Then we want to drink from one bowl."
I feel less intimidated now that I have the bowl in my hand, and even if the bowl is broken, they say the customer won’t have to pay for it.
