Chapter 57: That boy has messy hair
A crisp voice suddenly rang out from the corner of the street.
It attracted passers-by passing by the school gate. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw a fat girl standing next to a tricycle at first glance.
The second time you look, you can see the dazzling golden color on the car.
——The steaming sweet potato flesh!
Golden and soft, you can already smell the sweetness of the sweet potato just by looking at it from a distance.
The fragrance permeates the air, like an invisible hand.
Invisibly, it hooked the feet of many people.
After Chen Xiang shouted a few times, someone came over to ask about the price.
“How do you sell sweet potatoes?”
"This big pile is three cents, the small one is three cents for two, and the baked egg is one cent each."
Today's batch of sweet potatoes are not as big as yesterday's.
So Chen Xiang made some adjustments to the prices.
The people standing in front of the stall hesitated for a moment, and finally a man carrying a briefcase spoke first: "Take two small sweet potatoes and a baked egg."
Chen Xiangyang smiled, and the dimples on her cheeks deepened. "Okay, four cents in total."
"Here you go."
She took the money.
Then let him choose the sweet potato himself.
After the man made his choice, Chen Xiang deftly wrapped the sweet potatoes and eggs in rice dumplings leaves and passed them over.
As soon as someone bought it, those who were still hesitating beside him stopped hesitating and shouted to Chen Xiang, "Comrade, give me one too."
"And me, and me..."
Everyone is very active, fearing that if they are a step late, the good sweet potatoes will be picked by others.
Before the group of office workers left, the group of students on their way to school came over one after another. When they saw Chen Xiang, they called her sweetly, "Sister."
Chen Xiang raised her eyes and took a look.
Her hands kept moving. She could wrap a sweet potato in three or four seconds, then pick up an egg and hand it to the customer in front of her.
While busying herself, Chen Xiang said to them, "The price is different today."
The students were startled: "The price has increased?"
Chen Xiang: "Of course not! Today's is cheaper than yesterday's!"
She repeated the price.
The students nodded: "It's cheap."
Chen Xiang pointed to the eggs beside her and said, "We still have baked eggs today, but there aren't many left."
"Then I want baked eggs and sweet potatoes..."
"Okay! Wrap them up, it's your turn now!" Chen Xiang raised her hand and pointed at the people next to her who had paid and were waiting to get the melons.
The students nodded and stood aside waiting.
—
Until the first morning class bell rang in the school.
Chen Xiang has already sold two pots of sweet potatoes.
Today, not only students came to buy, but also pedestrians passing by the school gate heard her shouting and some of them came to buy one.
She thought that today's good sales might be related to the weather.
Today is much colder than yesterday. She really can't stand standing outside for so long.
Chen Xiang stamped her slightly cold feet.
While no one was around, I quickly put the sweet potatoes into the pot and continued to bake them, then cleaned up the messy car again.
As soon as he finished, Lao Xie pushed open the door of the guard booth.
He shouted to her, "Little comrade, come in and warm yourself up."
"Got it, brother Xie. I'll be right there."
Chen Xiang raised her head and responded.
Then push the car next to the guard booth.
Just as I was about to go in, I saw a boy in school uniform with slightly messy hair walking out of the school.
Chen Xiang glanced at him.
Seeing him coming in this direction, she stopped and waited for him.
It was such a cold day, but the boy didn't even wear a cotton jacket. He only wore a cream-colored turtleneck sweater inside and a royal blue school uniform outside.
Under the snow-white socks, she slipped on a pair of black men's summer slippers...
