"Seller, bring me a pair of needles and thread."
"And a small packet of caramel."
"Bring me two pounds of thin noodles."
"I want four taels of coarse salt."
"Bring me three pieces of mung bean cake"
"Do you have a knife?"
"Mom, that hairpin is so beautiful?"
"Mom, I want to draw people with sugar"
When Hua Jin was pulled over by her younger brother, she saw a lively scene in front of her.
A peddler driving a mule cart was surrounded by a circle of people chattering in the middle.
It's rare that the salesman can hear clearly, entertain everyone with a smile, and bring out exactly what everyone needs.
Hua Jin took another look at the mule cart. He was a cart owner. It seemed like the business was really good.
"Sister, hurry up!" Xiaosi couldn't wait.
Mainly because there were more and more people surrounding the mule cart, and I was worried that the slingshot I was looking for had been bought.
This time Hua Jin didn't tease Xiaosi, and she was quite curious about what was on the mule cart, so she walked forward obediently.
"Girl Jin is here too." Auntie, who was familiar with her just as she stood, greeted her with a smile. She couldn't help but take a few more glances at Hua Jin. Who made this girl look so good-looking?
"Hua Jin..."
Just as she was greeting her acquaintance, Hua Jin felt her clothes being pulled by someone. When she turned around, she realized it was Miss Kitty and the others.
"Sister Kitten, Sister Da Ya...you guys are here too," Hua Jin looked at the little girls and shouted one by one with a smile on her face.
Hua Jin still has a very good impression of these girls. They are all very capable girls. They may have their own little thoughts but they are not evil-minded.
"Yeah, let's come over to deliver the goods." The girls didn't expect that Hua Jin would also come over, which was a little surprise.
"Delivery?" When he was confused, he looked at Sister Kitty pointing to the various knots neatly arranged on the car, and he understood instantly.
"You are so awesome?" Hua Jin said sincerely.
It is true that the children of the poor become rich early.
"What's great about it?" Sister Xiaomao smiled sheepishly, "I can't earn much, so I just earn some sewing money."
"That's awesome!" It's true that a child from a poor family has already become a master. Hua Jin couldn't help but sigh as she spoke.
"Sister..." Xiaosi couldn't help it any longer. Seeing her sister talking patronizingly, she hurriedly reminded her. Her wandering eyes pointed directly at the position of the slingshot to remind her sister.
"Sister Kitty, please deliver the goods, I'll just take a look." She reluctantly looked away and glared at her brother. Hua Jin followed her gaze to the thing in the car that made Xiaosi want to stick her eyes to it...the slingshot.
It's made of bamboo, so I can't tell how strong it is in terms of ejection, but the bright colors do look pretty good, and the technical content is not high. I guess there should be no problem with Dad's hands-on ability.
Sure enough, both men and boys have a natural love for weapons. Hua Jin found that the eyes of the poor boys next to the mule cart were almost glued to it.
Ignoring her brother's expectant gaze, Hua Jin also looked at the mule cart with great interest.
He is indeed a peddler who sells a variety of goods, covering almost all aspects.
From the food needed for daily life to all kinds of cakes, everything is available, whether it is seasonings, salt, needles and thread, scissors, iron pots, farm tools, things to eat, play, wear, and even paper for reading and writing.
There are a lot of things but there is no shortage of them at home. After looking through them, there is really nothing that interests Hua Jin.
The grain has just been harvested and there is no need to buy it. I just bought the snacks a few days ago during the last market, including pastries and candies.
As for the headband flowers that girls like, they are not interested in them.
"Sister, is there anything you want?" Xiaosi poked her sister, her eyes drifting to the slingshot from time to time.
Hua Jin bowed his head. If he had a few books, he might be interested in reading them.
Well, I decided to go to the bookstore tomorrow after selling the drawings. It would be better if there were books on the geography and customs of the ancient Yan Kingdom.
"Sister...is it true?" Xiaosi asked again without giving up.
Hua Jin shook her head firmly.
Xiao Si reluctantly kept his eyes on the slingshot, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Sister, um, I have my eye on something... I want that slingshot." Xiao Si pointed to the slingshot on the shelf.
"You want me to buy it for you?" Hua Jin raised an eyebrow.
I thought the little guy finally said it.
Xiao Si nodded quickly and looked at her sister expectantly.
"What do you think, your sister and I don't have any money?" Hua Jin decisively refused without even thinking about it.
Although she didn't care about the few copper coins, she couldn't develop this guy's bad habit of getting something for nothing.
"Sister..." Xiao Si also worked hard for the slingshot, looking at her sister pitifully, "Sister... can't you just let me borrow it?"
He wanted it so much. With the slingshot, he could shoot birds and hunt. The most important thing was that no one in the village had it. You can imagine the envious eyes of the friends in the village.
"This dad should be able to do it, right?"
If dad can do it, why spend this wasted money?
And there are them in space too.
The main thing is that this thing really doesn’t have much technical content!
Xiaosi pursed his lips and looked at his sister resentfully.
If his father is willing to help him do it, can he still want it so much?
Looking at Xiao Si, Hua Jin suddenly had an idea.
"Dad, I'm afraid you'll hurt someone." His tone was very firm.
The main reason is that Xiaosi is too naughty and mischievous.
"No way, sister is not a fool. I just want to shoot birds and I will never do it to anyone. I can guarantee that." Xiaosi patted his small chest, which was not very strong.
"Why don't I believe it?" Hua Jin looked sideways at his brother.
"Sister..." Xiaosi pretended to be hurt and looked at her sister pitifully.
"It's no use calling me sister." Even so, he still looked at the salesman and asked, "Uncle, how do you sell the slingshot over there?"
Xiaosi was a little excited.
The salesman glanced at it and said with a smile: "Only twenty coins."
Hua Jin immediately gave her brother a helpless look.
Let’s not talk about whether we can buy it. The problem is that we simply can’t afford it now.
When Xiaosi heard the price, the light in his eyes dimmed, and he was a little disappointed. He thought his sister had enough money.
"Little girl, do you want it?" The salesman looked at the little girl's unpatched clothes and asked more.
He wasn't too disappointed when he saw people shaking their heads. After all, slingshots were not cheap, and he didn't get a few.
After all, he still couldn't bear to look at his younger brother's disappointed expression, so he pulled Xiao Si out of the crowd and thought about it for a while, saying, "Really want it?"
Xiaosi nodded quickly.
"Okay, sister promises to give you one, but..."
Xiaosi was pleasantly surprised, and her heart was also lifted, waiting for her sister to continue.
"But we have to make an agreement three chapters in advance."
"Sister, Xiaosi has agreed to it in many chapters." Xiaosi became a little excited again.
Is this just like what my elder brother once said about Liu Ming and his village?
"In fact, it's not difficult. There are still more than twenty days from now to the end of the month. My sister will give you a chance to perform. During these times, you must complete the homework assigned by your brothers on time, and you must ensure that no one in the village comes to your home during this period. Please, my sister will give you a slingshot."
The smile on Xiao Si's face suddenly turned out to be her real sister. She looked at her sister with tears in her eyes.
How is this possible?
"No! Forget it." Hua Jin shrugged and turned around and walked home.
I remember that when I was collecting slingshots in the space, I seemed to have bought a lot of accessories. Hua Jin even thought about asking her father to make one for her brother.
If you don’t want it, it will save you trouble.
Anyway, if I want to be a white wolf with nothing, I will definitely not be able to do it now. I have to test this guy's temperament.
