Chapter 245
Unlike the shock and doubts of San Aunt and others, Mu and others had unusual confidence in mulberry leaves. In their opinion, these tiger-head shoes can be sold even if they sell 100 ounces.
Sang Ye felt much more comfortable when he found his confidence from his parents. After happily having dinner with his parents, the couple returned to the Zheng family. Before leaving, they also received strong help from the whole family and went to the city to help her develop the market the day after tomorrow.
Because the county is too far away and the morning is the time when the traffic is the most common, in order to miss this prime time, I can only leave before dawn to go out to the city.
This time, if you have to bring thirty children over three years old and under five years old to the city, there will be no need for anyone to take care of them. The task of taking care of the children is handed over to Aunt San and others. Sang Ye and the rest of the Zheng family guard the shoe stalls to entertain the guests who were looking for them.
Originally, Old Man Zheng and Meng also planned to go and see it, but the carriage and the ox cart could not be used for so many people, so they could only wait for the next time. If the Sang family's carriage was not empty, Zheng Lin borrowed two more cars elsewhere, and so many adults would have no way to take them with them. Even so, the four cars were still a little crowded.
Taking care of the pregnant woman Sang Ye, she sat in the only carriage. Not only were there twenty pairs of tiger-head shoes used to set up stalls, but also seven or eight youngest children.
Today is the first time these children have entered the city and are also used as live-action advertisements. Before going out, not only are their hair neatly combed, but they are wearing good clothes that can only be worn during the Chinese New Year, and they also wear brand new tiger-head shoes on their feet, which looks very different from when they are making a fuss around.
Worried that the children would cry on the road too much, Mangye prepared a lot of candy and snacks in advance, so he put a serving on each car. Along the way, the children chattered very much, but the sense of novelty was greater than the anxiety. In addition, the adults had carefully advised him before, and they were surrounded by familiar friends, and they could also eat snacks that were rare in the past from time to time, which was rare and uncommon.
When we arrived at the county town, it was neither too early nor too late, and it was the time when the traffic in the market was the most popular. Zheng Lin was very familiar with the city and drove the carriage to a street on the riverside where the most suitable place to set up stalls and sell shoes.
The name of the street on the riverside is also very casual, it is called Riverside Street. On both sides of the river are neat houses, which extend along alleys to the surroundings, bringing together countless families and how many people live in it.
As a result, there are really a lot of people coming and going here. Over time, a long street market has gradually formed, selling vegetables, eggs, breakfast and other things to facilitate nearby residents.
There are also enough venues to park horse-drawn carriages and ox carriages on the riverside. Seeing that the best location had been placed by others, Zheng Lin took out 200 cents and offered to change the location with one of the small vendors.
The vendor is a candy seller, and may not earn 200 cents a day. Now he can earn in vain by changing stalls, and he will not delay his business, and he will not change it in vain. He was afraid that Zheng Lin would regret it, so he snatched the silver hand in hand and moved the stall over.
"There is no need to waste 200 cents in vain. The place we like is not bad." Before the shoes were sold, they spent 200 cents. Sang Ye felt so distressed that the pressure invisibly increased a little.
"I know what you know in my heart, you will know later." Zheng Lin comforted his wife and did not tell her that she liked the stall because it was in a shelter and that she would not feel cold when there was sunshine.
"Well, it's getting late, so let's put it on!"
Looking at the gentleness in the man's eyes, mulberry leaves are not easy to say anything. The position has been changed and it is impossible to change it back. Instead of complaining, it is better to think of a way to sell a few more pairs of shoes and earn countless 200 cents back.
At this time, Aunt San and others had already led the children around the riverside street. Worried that there were too many children and there was not enough staff to take care of them, Liu and Yue Niang of Yu also followed him, while Mu stayed at the stall to help.
Zheng Lin put up the simple table, and mulberry leaves spread a clean dark blue tablecloth on it. Mu took out the tiger-head shoes placed in the basket and arranged them neatly.
The blue-soled and red shoes looked particularly eye-catching from a distance. The stall owners of several stalls next to each other looked at each other from time to time, and wanted to ask, but they were embarrassed.
have
A woman carrying a basket of vegetables passed by and glanced at her accidentally, and was attracted by the uniquely shaped tiger-toed shoes. She subconsciously came to the stall, picked up the side shoes and looked at them while curiously asking: "Are these shoes? Can they be worn on their feet?"
Unexpectedly, someone came to ask so soon. Sang Ye was surprised and stood up from the little stool and explained to the woman with a smile: "The shoes are called tiger-head shoes. They are styles from the south. They are said to have the effect of exorcising ghosts and evil spirits. Children will not easily get lost after wearing them."
When the woman heard this, she immediately became interested, but said, "Can you really drive away ghosts and evil spirits? Don't you fool people, right?"
Mu knew that the tiger-head shoes were made by his daughter, and the so-called exorcism of ghosts and evil spirits was a gimmick. Now that she saw the woman expose it, she couldn't help but feel nervous. Just as she wanted to refute, the sleeve placed under the table was pulled. She glanced at her daughter and saw that there was no panic on her face, she felt relieved and didn't say anything.
Sang Ye withdrew his hand and looked at the suspicious woman with a look of doubt. "If you believe in things about gods and ghosts, you will have them. If you don't believe in them, you will have nothing. It depends on whether your wife is willing to believe them."
The woman was ready to praise the amazingness of the mulberry leaves, but she didn't expect that she would say such a thing, and she believed it a little bit, and her expression unconsciously brought a little awe.
In the deep courtyard for many years, Sang Ye's ability to observe his words and expressions is more powerful than that of Mu, a generation older. Seeing that the woman was loose, she struck while the iron was hot, picked up a pair of tiger-head shoes and said in detail:
"I know what this tiger means, even if I don't say it. As a mother, I always hope that the child will grow up sturdyly. This is what the tiger-headed shoes take. Not to mention anything else, giving a pair of close nephews to the family is more pleasing and handsome than saying ten auspicious words. Besides, these shoes are the only ones in my family. Just the materials and workmanship, the wife will know it if you look carefully."
The woman looked at the shoes carefully as Mangye said. Seeing that the materials and workmanship were really nothing, she turned into ten points when she moved. So she asked tentatively: "The shoes are really different. A pair should not be cheap, right?"
Sang Ye glanced at the woman with obvious envy on her face: "It's indeed more expensive than the shoes in the shoe shop, but the wife is a decent person at first sight. With just this little money, I'm afraid she can buy all the shoes on my stall without blinking."
Everyone likes to listen to compliments, especially Sang Ye’s words and deeds are sincere and unfair, which greatly satisfyes the woman’s vanity. She touched the solid gold bracelet as thick as a little finger on her wrist, and smiled with a pursed lips: “You are really good at speaking. With this mouth, it’s hard to make a business difficult.”
Sang Ye's eyes also fell on the woman's wrist, and said sincerely: "Ma'am is too rewarding! The whole body of the wife looks different from ordinary people, otherwise I wouldn't have pulled her to say so long. I'm going to say it to her for so long. I want to share with her wife's good fortune!"
Fortunately, before she went out, she took off the jade ornaments on her hands and ears, and the hairpin on her head was also the most common silver hairpin, otherwise this would be without any convincing power.
After hearing this, the woman's smile became even brighter: "Sure, it happened that my nephew of my parents' family would catch Zhou in two days. It's just right to give such a pair of tiger-head shoes."
After saying that, she carefully picked up and finally picked up a pair of tiger-toe shoes worn by a year old child and said, "How much does this pair of shoes cost?"
Sang Ye's smile became even more sincere: "The tiger-head shoes are just a good choice, all of them are priced at 66 cents a pair, no bargaining, if the size is not appropriate, you can change it."
