C8 No Wrong Man

"Mom, this dish needs to be arranged in a better shape before it can be sold for a good price."

"It's just a dish, who would choose this?"

"Little Hoe, stand here and don't move!"

Seeing that her mother ignored her, Lan Lingxue put Little Hoe behind her mother, walked to the stall, squatted down and rearranged the dishes. Little Hoe saw that his sister was working, so he joined her in helping, and the wooden block started to move as well. In a short while, the persimmon was in the shape of a steeple and the cabbage was in the shape of a pile.

"It's really pretty, huh. It's red and green, just by looking at it it makes people like it."

His mother smiled and nodded. Third Aunt also agreed.

"Don't say it, it's really beautiful."

"If it were me, I would pick the same dish."

Eldest Aunt also added,

"We're still the smartest. Look at how smart we are."

It was not good to be told by Eldest Aunt and Third Aunt. Lan Lingxue took Little Hoe and said to her mother,

"Mom, since there aren't many people, I'll take Little Hoe for a walk. It's not far, we'll be back in a while."

"It's better that after I'm done selling my things, Mom will accompany the two of you. There'll be more people coming soon, so don't get separated again."

"That won't happen, Mother. Don't worry, we'll be back after we have more people."

Seeing Lan Lingxue's insistence, his mother had no choice but to agree.

"That's good. Take care of your little brother. Don't go too far away."

"Don't worry mother, I will definitely look favorably upon little brother."

Lan Lingxue could only pretend not to see the wooden block's envious eyes. She wanted to secretly do something, but it was inconvenient for her to have a small tail. There was nothing Little Hoe could do.

At the back of the stall, there was a row of shops. Those shops should be open all year round, and at the opening of the fifth market, the markets would be set up in the middle of the shops on both sides, so that they could not affect the business of the stores, and they could also recruit some customers for the stores. There were all kinds of shops, including clothing, daily groceries, and restaurant snacks, but all of them were not that big.

The outside of the granary looked very clean and tidy. Lan Lingxue brought Little Hoe inside and saw that there really were all kinds of grains inside. Lan Lingxue, on the other hand, just walked over to the flour shop and pointed to the flour shop.

"Shopkeeper, how much is this flour?"

The shop owner raised his head and saw two children standing in front of him. They were dressed in patched clothes. His eyes were a little indifferent, but he did not speak ill of them.

"This flour is very expensive. Did you bring the money?"

"I'm just asking the price."

"It's on the sign."

When this shop owner doesn't want to bother with others, he will let you look at the sign. In this era, it would be enviable if there were any worthy students who could write their own names, and looking at the sign is just sending them out. However, the shop owner did not know how much regret this little girl who was kicked out of the restaurant would make him feel in a few years.

In her previous life, Lan Lingxue had read a lot of books because she didn't have many friends and was often alone, so she was very interested in reading them. Occasionally, she would read the first edition of the printed book, but it would be a little troublesome if she could write it down, she really couldn't write it down, but now, it was fine as long as she could understand it. She looked at the price of fourteen coins on the sign, then at the price of the other brands, as long as it was three dollars for corn noodles, then four meters for other types of rice, they were all expensive.

Watching the two leave, he let out a sigh of relief. He was worried that these two poor kids would be staying for a long time, which would interfere with his family's business, and he would not be able to do anything to chase them away. After all, he was a country bumpkin, and he wasn't even a vulgar person. Lan Lingxue didn't know what the store was thinking, but Lan Lingxue had already brought Little Hoe to another store, and this time, she had learned from Lan Lingxue and no longer asked for the price, instead looking at her own brand.

"Little friend, you want to buy some food? What do you want to buy to go home?"

"Uncle, I want to ask how much this' white mask 'is sold for."

Seeing that someone had come to receive her, Lan Lingxue could only pretend that she didn't understand the brand.

"Oh, how much do you want to weigh for thirteen dollars a catty?"

Furthermore, the price was also more fair than the previous store. This made Lan Lingxue feel that this store owner was someone who could be trusted, at least not someone who could flatter others and look down on their dishes. He was a honest businessman.

"Uncle, I'm a bit pale and I want to sell it, but I haven't grinded it into flour yet. Do you think you can take it?"

"Oh, you want to sell flour? That's fine, there's a mill at the back of my house. Usually I make flour for people, but if you want to sell flour, then your master will follow you."

Lee Yongtai was really afraid that these were the two kids that stole the family food to sell. If there was a dispute, it wouldn't be good.

"Uncle, my father went out to work. My mother is sick and needs money. I have no choice but to sell my food. Take a look and help me collect it."

"So it's like that!"

Although this little girl was thin and small, her eyes were clear and pure. She really didn't seem like a bad child, and after seeing the child's anxious face, she couldn't help but nod her head, believing the little girl's words.

"Well, then, where are your provisions? I can't get a single person out of here. "

"I can carry it. Uncle, it's not far. It's in the alley near your house, let people help look after it. I'll bring it over for you right away."

Since the distance was not too far, Lee Yongtai didn't follow her out. Lan Lingxue led Little Hoe out of the granary and arrived at the roof of the stall. This was the place Lan Lingxue had set her sights on before she came in.

"Little Hoe, help sister watch it. Don't let anyone in, and don't look back either."

"Yes."

Lan Lingxue thought about the flour with her mind. It was a good thing that the bag of wheat grains appeared in front of her eyes, which made her feel a lot more relaxed. It was better than suddenly disappearing, if the little guy turned around, it would be even worse than that.

He wanted to carry the bag of wheat grains onto his shoulder, but he forgot his small physique, so he called Little Hoe over to help. Little Hoe looked at the bag that appeared out of thin air in surprise and asked in a trembling voice.

"Sis, where did this come from?"

"Don't worry about it for now. I'll tell you about it after I'm done selling out."

Little Hoe still believed in his sister. He nodded and helped his sister use all her strength. In any case, he had still dragged the bag of wheat grains to the front of the store.

"How do you want to sell it?" "Would you like to weigh it after grinding the noodles? Or do you want to weigh it now?"

"What do you think is appropriate?"

Lan Lingxue really didn't understand the trade of food.

"Of course it's more suitable to be ground into flour."

"Then grind it into flour and sell it. Uncle, you can decide on your own."

"If I had to grind the wheat into flour, I wouldn't be able to sell it today. Uncle would have to grind the wheat at night."

Lan Lingxue thought she could get the money today, but since she couldn't get the money now, she didn't have the means to come back today to collect more money. Thus, she decided to trust this uncle of hers.

"Then I'll leave it with Uncle first. I'll come back tomorrow to collect the money. Uncle, is it okay?"

"You can trust uncle now. Of course you can."

Lee Yongtai had already fallen for this straightforward and generous girl.

"I'll write you a note. Come back tomorrow and get it."

Lan Lingxue couldn't help but nod when she heard the shop owner say that he would call the police. She wasn't mistaken.

"Uncle, I have something I want to ask you."

Lan Lingxue was in no hurry to leave after she had finished with the matters with the flour. It was not easy to meet a kind-looking person, but there were plenty of things she could ask about. She couldn't afford to miss this opportunity.

"What is it? As long as uncle knows, I will definitely tell you."

"I also brought some dishes over. Uncle, where is the nearest restaurant? I want to go there and sell the food. You know that my mother is sick and is waiting for money."

Lee Yongtai was very curious about this little girl. Not to mention other things, just just a little girl from a poor family being able to understand the words he beat her up was enough to make Lee Yongtai look at her in a different light. Lee Yongtai thought to himself, this little girl is probably not a person from a pond.

"Girl, this is a market outside, why are you still going to the restaurant to sell? Besides, there are fixed vendors in the restaurants and you wouldn't casually buy food from other people."

Although he already wanted to help, Lee Yongtai still wanted to understand this little girl's thoughts. He felt that this little girl's mind wasn't normal.

"Uncle, my father is good at farming, and the vegetables he grew are better than those of other people, so the restaurant will definitely accept them. Besides, I don't have time to rush to the market, I need to go home and take care of my mother, if I send them to the restaurant, I can sell them all at once, and that would save me a lot of time."

"Truly a ghost spirit. I don't even know how long this little brain of hers has grown. Hah …"

Lee Yongtai chuckled and patted the little girl's shoulder lovingly.

Seeing that you are still a filial person, uncle will help you. You will walk from here all the way to the market place, take a turn to the back street, cross two streets, and then turn to the left and you will see a restaurant on the third floor. I've given them food before, and Manager Meng from that restaurant is kind enough to help you.
