Chapter 282 Money Delivered to Your Door
Looking in the direction of Orange's finger, there was a small stall selling live chickens.
The children found it quite strange that the man did not carry the load in a bamboo basket, but chose to tie the live chicken directly to the bicycle.
After arriving at the place, he pushed the cart and shouted a few times along the way.
The female comrade who heard the shouting quickly pushed the door open and came out, standing there to bargain with the vendor.
After some conversation, the aunt who knew how to manage life carefully selected a live chicken that she liked.
After weighing, we negotiate the price again and finally the deal is done.
The vendor continues to look for the next buyer.
"This alley is so crowded, and there are stalls everywhere. I want to try Xiushui Street someday."
Gao Xiulan now felt overwhelmed with emotion when she saw this huge crowd of people.
Everyone passing by is her potential customer.
"I met the second daughter of the Zhao family at this intersection last time, but I didn't see her today."
Xie Da Jiao looked around for several times but didn't see anyone.
It was exactly half past nine when the three of them arrived. There was someone squatting under the wall in the square in front.
Orange exclaimed: "Wow, there are so many people."
Gao Xiulan carried her out of the car, and the hem of her skirt bounced a few times, flashing in the sunlight.
She spun around in joy.
Xie Da Jiao took out her camera and took a picture of the child.
"Hurry up and take a spot by the wall."
Gao Xiulan took out an old dark blue bed sheet from her bag and walked quickly towards the wall.
I was quick to grab a good position.
"There aren't any trees near this wall. Fortunately, there's still some wind, so we can cool down."
The weather in Beijing in September is also very unpleasant. It is cool in the morning and evening, and very sunny at noon.
Xie Da Jiao's bicycle was leaning against the wall behind him, and a bunch of things were unloaded from the bicycle.
Orange also knew his own weight, so he helped to arrange the small items in the basket on the bed sheet.
The folding table was propped up, and Gao Xiulan took a few small paper bags of melon seeds, opened them and placed them on it.
He also took out a few cups and poured each person a cup of chrysanthemum tea to quench their thirst.
The people setting up stalls nearby were amazed at what the family was doing.
I thought to myself: This family really knows how to enjoy life.
Holding a small umbrella, drinking herbal tea, feeling the breeze, and squinting my eyes.
Orange sat on the bed sheet, and even knew to hold down the hem of her skirt with her hands.
The two adults and one child rested for a while and regained their energy.
Gao Xiulan was selling melon seeds while watching the stall, while Xie Da Jiao was taking the children around taking pictures.
I also grabbed a young man who came to buy melon seeds and helped take a photo with him.
There are so many people here that the melon seeds were sold out in no time. Today's profit was six yuan.
Orange was also tired from playing, her braids were even crooked, so she sat down and drank several sips of water.
Xie Da Jiao stuffed the things he brought into a crack in the middle of the table. Two shoe strings were hanging under the table.
The figure made up of nine bamboo joints suddenly stood up, holding the shoelaces in his palms, loosening and tightening them, and the bamboo figure also danced.
If the hand loses its strength for a moment, the ferocious "man" will immediately fall apart.
"Hey, this bamboo man looks pretty good! Can I exchange it for a big sword?"
While I was playing, an old man came over wearing slippers.
"certainly."
Xie Da Jiao raised his head proudly, and the man happily picked a bamboo figure holding a big knife.
Passing through the gap in the table, the rope was tightened, and the bamboo man started fighting.
"Look, your long sword is definitely no match for my broadsword!"
"That's hard to say."
Neither of them gave in, with a long sword against a broadsword, and in the end Xie Da Jiao narrowly won.
"Interesting, how do you sell this?"
"Eight cents, buy happiness."
Xie Da Jiao was also bored and thought of doing this.
It is also easy to make bamboo dolls. Saw the small nanmu bamboo into small pieces of different lengths and string them together with shoe thread.
Of course, Xie Da Jiao also let himself play a little when he was making it, for example, he made a lot of small handmade weapons.
For example, the broadsword, the long sword, the golden hoop stick, the three-axe, the trident, the big hammer...
More variety means more choices.
Each one has been carefully polished with sandpaper and is not uncomfortable to the touch.
The old man reached into his trouser pocket, took out a dime and handed it to Xie Da Jiao.
"Here's your two cents. Take it."
After a while, a few more children came running, jumping and making noise, laughing and buying three bamboo figures like a tornado.
Seeing that there was no business, Xie Da Jiao closed his eyes and prepared to slack off.
Chengzi carried an umbrella on his shoulder to block the wind, and squatted with Gao Xiulan to watch a young couple arguing not far away in the square.
Gao Xiulan looked around for a while, and her legs and feet couldn't keep still, so she visited the stalls one by one along the wall.
Chengzi also followed with an umbrella. There was everything on the stalls. She also saw people selling sour plum powder and candy canes.
Gao Xiulan also bought it. Xie Yi ate this a lot when he was a child, and he is still alive and kicking now.
Orange squatted under the umbrella, happily eating sour plum powder with a colorful plastic spoon.
Suddenly, the umbrella was opened.
Meow meow meow!
What's going on?
A burst of bird chirping came from overhead.
"Look, jenny, a moving umbrella!"
Orange took a look at the opened Happy Home, then turned around and looked at the two strange people.
Golden curly hair, big nose, blue eyes, a man and a woman.
Orange muttered "thank you".
The next second, he was held in the arms of the curly-haired beauty, and his little face was kissed several times, or to be more precise, bitten several times.
“Mua!”
Gao Xiulan hurriedly pulled the child out of the woman's arms, and upon closer inspection, she saw several bright red lip marks on Chengzi's fair little face.
The tall man grinned at her in a friendly manner.
Orange shuddered for no reason.
Why does she think foreigners like to eat people?
Chengzi pulled Gao Xiulan and ran back to the stall with the big red lip prints on her lips, and wiped them off with her little hands.
When Xie Da Jiao opened his eyes, he saw two tall and strong foreigners standing on his stall, pointing at the collapsed bamboo man.
The big-nosed man was not shy at all and started pulling the rope.
Who knew that this guy was so clumsy that he managed to tangle up the bamboo man's shoe ropes after just a few tries.
He kept screaming.
Xie Da Jiao couldn't stand it anymore, so he picked out a bamboo man with three axes and brought him on stage. He loosened and tightened his arms, performing some strange martial arts.
The two foreigners are quite supportive.
“Cool!”
“unbelievable!”
Although Xie Da Jiao didn't know what this person was surprised about, isn't it enough to have hands to play this game?
The two of them shouted that they had finished playing but did not leave. They chatted with each other and stood there picking and choosing. In the end, they chose one of each weapon.
Pushed it in front of Xie Da Jiao: "How much?"
Xie Da Jiao understood this sentence because Xie Yi had repeated it several times at home.
But he didn't respond, and gestured several times.
Orange counted on his fingers and raised one hand, meaning to give fifty cents.
The blonde reached over and high-fived her.
What's going on? You still want to get it for free?
Just as Orange was confused again, the big man took out five dollars from his wallet and put it on the table.
The two men turned around and left with a small group of bamboo figures.
The three members of the Xie family were left standing there stunned in the wind.
“Why did it sell for so much money?”
Gao Xiulan picked up the US dollar and took a closer look, still a little bit unbelieving.
Xie Da Jiao was also in a trance.
Orange was mumbling, "Don't blame me, I clearly said fifty cents!"
