Because they arrived late, the good spot for the stall had already been occupied. No one stopped at Xiaoman and Errui's stalls before.
Fortunately, a large number of people had already gathered around because of the commotion caused by the precious daughter-in-law.
At this time, Errui and Errui were still very embarrassed, but Jiang Zhi couldn't ask for it.
People who perform monkey tricks still need to bang gongs for a while to gain popularity, and live broadcast rooms selling goods also need to spend money to buy popularity. This is a gifted opportunity.
She quickly picked up the straw sandals and began to introduce them: "Everyone, take a look, these are straw sandals made of twine, grass and rabbit skin. They can be worn, seen and walked on.
A pair of straw sandals costs fifteen cents. You can't buy them at a loss or be cheated.
One pair is worth two pairs, it can be worn through spring and summer, it will not be bad through summer, and you can still cope with it until autumn..."
Xu Errui looked at his mother in surprise: When did my mother learn this trick?
Li Laoshi was about to come. Xiao Man and Er Rui were still in a daze. He had already picked up the straw sandals and stuffed them into the arms of those people: "Take a look! This craftsmanship is good. There will be no corns or rotten feet when wearing them." I can walk ten miles without getting out of breath!"
Men in Bajun wear straw sandals almost three times a year. For example, during the Anti-Japanese War, the Sichuan Army was called the "Straw Shoes Army". A pair of straw sandals traveled all over the world, and they wore straw sandals to participate in the Battle of Songhu.
When asked why they wore straw sandals, the answer was: We came out and never thought about surviving until winter!
Everyone knows how to make straw sandals, but there are differences in skills and materials.
Some people play poorly, and as soon as they wear them, they become "clutching chicken shoes" or "straw shoes," and they fall apart within a few days.
Most people only use straw, and adding some magnolia is good.
Xu Dazhu's straw sandals are made of real materials. The soles are straight and the uppers are mixed with twine and rabbit skin cut into strips. They are soft and not cold to the feet when worn in spring. They are high-end, classy and durable.
No one had thought of using rabbit skins, just because there were all hares on the mountain. The rabbit skins used in the summer were sparse and shallow, and had poor protection against cold and warmth. They were also of different sizes, and ten of them would not fit into one sleeve.
It is different to cut it into strips and use it in straw sandals. At least it has a gimmick to sell it.
Some people thought it was expensive: "For fifteen cents, I can buy three kilograms of brown rice, which is enough for five days of porridge."
As long as your stomach is full, you won’t feel cold under your feet!
Some people still think it's good, because the cold starts from the feet, and who has ever seen straw sandals with gold rims?
So some people bargained, and some people wanted to exchange things.
After a lot of fuss, more than a dozen pairs of straw sandals were sold or exchanged.
After counting, I got back a hundred cents, and in exchange for a big dustpan and a small wooden box.
Red thorn fruit powder was also bought, but when weighed, instead of using a weighing rod, another measuring instrument was used: a "shengzi"!
This was brought by the buyer himself, who knows how to budget carefully.
"Sister-in-law, I will give you three cents, but you have to use my liters to measure it!"
Mu Shengzi
Jiangzhi's original price was three cents per catty, but now three cents per liter. According to ancient weights and measures, one liter should be 1.25 catties.
"Buy, sell, sell!" Jiang Zhi didn't want to deal with that little bit.
Soon, the twine and gersi were also sold out for seven to eight cents.
Xiaoman was so excited that he didn't expect to sell out all the straw sandals: "Auntie, you still know how to sell things!"
Jiang Zhiqian laughed, these words were sung every day like a rocking car at the entrance of the supermarket.
At every market, the loudspeakers of the vendors in the town shout every day, and the ears can hear calluses, but they don't know how to do it.
After the items were sold out, a few people hurried to the grain store to buy white rice.
Although Wang Xiaoju was beaten away just now, she was still near her parents' home, so she didn't cause much trouble and left as soon as she finished her work.
Of course, this is just for the Wang family not to cause trouble.
Business at the grain store was equally good, but the crowds gathered around the baskets of grains, and there was no one in front of the white rice and noodles.
It is true that food prices are too expensive now. White rice and flour cost ten cents a liter. The big brands clearly state this.
(The Qing Dynasty had the highest prices in the past, with 150 kilograms of white rice per stone, and the price ranged from nine qian to one liang per qian)
Jiang Zhi squeezed through the crowd and came to the rice basket, took out his money bag, and then took out a millet bag: "Brother, I will buy fifty cents worth of rice!"
The waiter sang loudly: "Fifty cents for rice!"
This is a store rule that has existed since ancient times. When collecting money and receiving goods, you must shout out to avoid discrepancies in payment and give customers a sense of honor.
But this is not a good thing.
The sound of "white rice" attracted people's attention, but luckily it was only fifty cents. A few words of envy and jealousy arose from the crowd and then disappeared.
With Er Rui, Xiao Man and the cunning Li Laoshi outside, Jiang Zhi was not timid. She measured the rice and put it into a rice bag, then threw it into the basket on her back and walked out of the grain store.
They bought some necessary supplies at the grocery store and filled their backpacks with everything. Then they squeezed through the crowd and prepared to leave the town.
Lihua Town is currently undergoing restoration. Most of the houses burned by bandits and soldiers have been demolished, and wood and loess are piled everywhere.
The houses here are all frame structures, and carpentry is the main focus.

The walls are made of wooden boards or bamboo, then painted with yellow mud mixed with straw, and finally painted with white lime, which looks fresh, elegant and very distinctive.
Just after passing a house, Xu Errui came over and whispered: "Mom, Genbao's wife is over there!"
Jiang Zhi glanced in the direction he pointed and saw Wang Xiaoju standing next to a pile of wood, talking angrily to two men.
Xiaoman also came closer and said, "Auntie, that's Genbao's wife's brother. He must be talking about the beating he just received."
Jiang Zhi lowered his eyes and said calmly: "Don't be afraid, let's go our own way. If she dares to cause trouble, we'll beat her again."
"Yeah!" Xu Errui and Xiaoman's faces suddenly relaxed.
After all, Xu Errui is a young man who is only twenty years old, and he is not as honest and cowardly as before.
Not to mention Xiao Man, who was full of courage. He was panicking because he hadn't moved around during this period.
Li Laoshi was very honest, he didn't say anything, he just glanced at the Wang family members with a sly look, and from time to time he stuffed a stone into his pocket to contain a lump of mud.
The journey out of town went smoothly, and the two brothers from the Wang family followed us.
The girl had just been embarrassed in the market, so they couldn't make a big fuss again.
It's different when you leave the town. There are many woods and bushes along the road. No one can see you dragged in and beaten.
It's just that their idea is a little wrong.
When the four Jiangzhi people left the town, they saw Tian Gui, who had been waiting beside them.
Seeing a small bag of white rice, Tian Gui was extremely grateful: "Thank you sister-in-law!"
With this rice, the family can make rice porridge, add vegetables, and cook it into vegetable porridge, and several children can also eat some.
Xiaoman looked at him: "Uncle Tian Er, if you want to buy something in the future, you can ask us for help. Maybe not long after, the town will no longer be so strict!"
Tian Gui nodded: "I want to trouble you. I just heard the town workers say that in the future, outsiders will have to obtain household registration when entering and exiting the town. It will always be troublesome."
Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of well ropes for ten years, not to mention in an era when transportation is already blocked, there will always be this kind of discrimination against outsiders.
As they talked, they began to take a shortcut home over the mountains and ridges, which would save them two miles.
Not long after, two people appeared from the town entrance behind them and followed them along the path.
