Chapter 36 Going to the market

Because of the participation of uncles and ladies, they no longer have to rush to make tofu.

In addition, there will be a market tomorrow, and many farmers will go to the market, which will cause the villagers who sell tofu in the surrounding villages to have poor business.

So, Zhao Dong told them this afternoon that tomorrow, except for the villagers who go to distant villages, the rest will not be wholesaled.

So, tonight, they don't have to stay up late to prepare.

After distributing the money, Zhao Dong and his two uncles carried the soybeans purchased today into the Westinghouse. After that, the grandfather's family will go back.

While waiting for the two of them, Zhao Guifen asked about Zhao Zhitong's apprenticeship.

I heard from Sun Mei that after she was going to buy a piece of meat to make a knee pad, she slapped her thigh and said, "Fortunately, I asked, otherwise, you guys would really be rude."

Sun Mei looked puzzled: "Mother, what's the matter? Can't you send knee pads?"

Zhao Guifen: "It's not that you can't give knee pads, but this is the apprenticeship. The disciples are going to present the teacher with a bundle of six rituals. The six rituals include: celery, lotus seeds, red beans, dates, longan, and dried lean meat strips.

As for celery, it means being diligent and studious, and proficiency in work; lotus seeds are bitter, which means painstaking education; red beans, which means good luck; Express the disciple's mind. "

After listening to the old lady's call, Sun Mei's eyes widened: "So there are so many things to pay attention to."

Zhao Guifen smiled and said: "That's right, there will be a meeting tomorrow, so I just let my uncle buy it. As for the knee pads, I can make them as a gift for my husband."

Sun Mei couldn't help nodding, and sighed in her heart. Fortunately, Zhao Guifen asked, otherwise she would be rude at that time, and it would really be a joke.

So, after seeing off the grandfather's family, Sun Mei immediately told Zhao Dong about it.

—

The next day, the first aunt, the second aunt, and the second uncle came at the moment of mao, as soon as the rooster crowed. Those little radish heads were still asleep, so naturally they didn't follow.

At a quarter of an hour, all the tofu was ready. After the villagers came to take away the tofu, Zhao Dong and the others carried the remaining 100 catties of tofu and bean curd onto the cart.

At this time, Zhao Zhitong was awakened by the movement in the yard, and was looking out of the window, when he saw that Zhao Dong was already packing tofu.

The one who was in a hurry and didn't care about the clothes or skirts, just put on the clothes indiscriminately, climbed off the bed, and rushed outside: "Daddy, wait for me, I'm going to sell tofu too."

Zhao Dong: "Don't worry, you haven't left yet, you go wash your face first, and drink the egg porridge."

At this time, Sun Mei came out of the kitchen with egg porridge, put it on the table, grabbed her and went to wash her face first.

Zhao Zhitong wiped his little face, and before Sun Mei could dry her off, he ran to the table, picked up the porridge bowl, and drank it.

"Okay, mother, I'm done drinking."

Placing the empty bowl on the table, she turned around and was about to run out, but was stopped by Sun Mei: "Look at how this dress is worn? It's twisted."

Zhao Zhitong stood and let Sun Mei redress her. At this time, I suddenly thought of something, and my eyes lit up: "Mother, I want to wear the new clothes my grandma made for me."

Sun Mei smiled and said: "Huh? Why are you going to wear it today? Didn't you say you would wear it when you go to apprentice?"

Zhao Zhitong pouted, getting into trouble. Yes, she will wear new clothes to school, but she really wants to wear new clothes to the market too.

Gritting his teeth for the last time, he said, "Then wear it tomorrow."

She's going to see Mr. in a new dress!

Right at this moment, the noise of several children suddenly came from outside the door.

Zhao Zhitong instantly recognized the voice of the outsider, shouted and trotted out.

"Big cousin, second cousin, third cousin!"

It turned out that Sun Youcai brought Sun Daji, Sun Daqing and Sun Daxiang over.

After the three of them woke up, they heard Zhao Guifen talking about Zhao Dong's going to the market today, so they pestered Sun Youcai to bring them here.

It happened that Zhao Dong planned to set up two stalls with his second brother-in-law, and Sun Youcai happened to be able to help watch Zhao Zhitong.

It is also possible to let the children go out to play, so Zhao Dong agreed to take them along.

Seeing a few cousins ​​also go, Zhao Zhitong was very happy: "Great, great."

Zhao Dong pushed a cart, the second aunt pushed one, and the second and third cousins ​​sat on it and were responsible for holding the tofu on the cart.

The eldest cousin said that he was too old to sit and wanted to help push the cart underneath.

And Zhao Zhitong couldn't sit still, and he didn't want to sit still.

Sun Youli had no choice but to grab Zhao Zhitong with both hands, lift her up, and put her on her neck with one hand.

The sudden sense of weightlessness made Zhao Zhitong giggle.

"Let's go, go to the market!"

Accompanied by the chirping of the children, a group of people set off in a mighty way.

…

This market is formed by the gathering of several surrounding villages, so it is not very far from their Zhaozhai Village, and it can be reached by walking for a quarter of an hour.

When they arrived at the market, many people had already come to the market, which was very lively. They didn't stay long, and started looking for a place to set up a stall.

After all, they don't come to the market often, and some good stalls are definitely not their turn.

Coincidentally, they ran into Butcher Zhao who was going to the market to sell meat. Zhao Dong and the two followed him and found two unremarkable stalls on that street.

After setting up the booth, Zhao Dong took out the prepared bowl and lotus leaf from the car, put them aside, and brought out the sauce, preparing to make a bowl of bean curd first.

Because the seller is a new face, and the items they sell are also fresh, at first, no one came to patronize at all.

But other stalls around, people will go to ask the price from time to time.

Several small radishes stood in front of the booth, looking curiously at everything around them.

Seeing that Butcher Zhao's family had sold a piece of meat, and no one from them came to ask, Zhao Daqing scratched his head and said, "Tell me, why no one comes to our place to buy things!"

The other little radish heads also looked blank.

Zhao Zhitong was also puzzled.

So, he glanced at the stalls around him, and then at his own stall. After a while, he suddenly said, "Oh, I see."

Sun Youcai couldn't help laughing: "You know what you saw?"

Zhao Zhitong put a small wrist around his chest: "Hmph, I just know."

As he spoke, he pointed to the booth next to him and said, "Look, they will yell loudly when customers pass by the booth."

Sun Daqing looked at it for a while and found that, as Zhao Zhitong said, they all shouted.

then asked: "Yell? Can someone come by shouting?"

Zhao Zhitong affirmed: "Of course, if you don't shout, how can people know what you are selling?"

Sun Daqing scratched his head, and laughed suddenly: "It seems so."

Sun Daji and Sun Daxiang also nodded, agreeing with Zhao Zhitong's discovery.

Zhao Zhitong: "Then what are you waiting for, let's shout!"
