Straw sandals are needed by every household. Seeing Erlang calling so hard, a couple of women squatted down in front of the stall.
Si Niang immediately picked up the shoes and handed them to them, "Aunt Zhou, the shoes my mother made are very good, you should buy a pair."
Qin Yao was a little surprised. She thought Si Niang was timid and clingy, but she didn't expect her to actively promote her products.
The children were working so hard that Qin Yao, an adult, felt embarrassed to just stand there and do nothing. She forced a smile and took the initiative to explain how sturdy her shoes were and how it took her a lot of effort to make a pair.
The woman called Aunt Zhou by Si Niang looked at the shoes over and over again. The shoes were indeed sturdy and the size was suitable for her man's feet. The man in the family had been working in the fields recently and his straw sandals had worn out, so she wanted to buy new ones.
"Madam Qin, I want two pairs. Can you give me a discount?" Mrs. Zhou asked tentatively.
Qin Yao was also straightforward, "Okay, for the first order, I'll give you two pairs for five cents."
Having gotten a good deal, Mrs. Zhou was happy. She took out the selected straw sandals and put them aside, motioning Qin Yao to wait for her while she went home to get the copper coins.
He quickly trotted back, counted the five cents three times before handing it to Qin Yao, and happily took the two pairs of straw sandals.
The business was done with one order, or two pairs of goods, and all four Liu brothers and sisters laughed.
Erlang shouted even harder, and Si Niang, relying on her small size, took the shoes and took the initiative to find people to sell them, acting cute and pitiful.
She specifically looked for those aunts because she found that only the aunts had money in their pockets.
Seeing his sister was so brave, Sanlang plucked up his courage and followed her. He asked in a low voice: "Do you want to buy shoes? Buy a pair."
The brother and sister worked together and sold another pair. They looked at Qin Yao with surprise and wanted praise.
Although the brother and sister were dressed in rags, their little faces were wiped clean and their hair was tied neatly, making them look very cute.
The straw sandals sold better and better. Someone even brought unused bowls from home to exchange for them. Five coarse porcelain bowls with some cracks on them were traded for a pair of shoes.
Another grandma brought three eggs and exchanged them for a pair.
Before they knew it, it was dark and everyone went home to eat. In the end, only Qin Yao and her son and four others were left, excitedly counting the day's harvest under the tree.
