Chapter 361: Can you shut up?
"Qingqing, help me find some bandages."
After hearing what Wenjiu said, Lu Qingqing went to do it without saying anything.
Soon a fire started in the yard. The dazzling flames rose several feet high. The smell of burning cloth was everywhere. When it felt that the fire was almost burned out, he started to warm the wine.
"It's on fire and my clothes are burned. Hurry up and bring some water to put out the fire!"
"Fire! Fire! Fire!"
"Where did this bastard start the fire? If I catch him, I will skin him and make clothes out of him."
"Okay, stop swearing and put out the fire."
…
The neighbors around heard what was happening here and opened their doors curiously to look in. Some were worried while others were smiling and watching the show.
When Aunt He saw this, she quickly turned around, went back into the house, picked up a bucket of water and ran over here, but by the time she got over, the fire had almost been put out.
"What's going on?"
"Why is it on fire?"
"Are you all right?"
Wen Jiu knew what kind of person Aunt He was, and fearing that she would be anxious, he told her the truth. Aunt He was confused and didn't understand anything.
She waved her hands and said, "It's OK as long as the person is fine. I don't understand what you said. Just do what you want. I won't say anything. Just do it peacefully. I replied."
After she finished speaking, she picked up the bucket and left. Some curious people came over to ask about it.
"How's the Zhao family doing, girl? Is there any ghost haunting their house again?"
"Yeah yeah!"
"The flames were so high that I almost fainted. It was so scary."
Aunt He sneered, "Ghost? Have any of you seen a ghost? How come your mouth still stinks like you've eaten shit at your age? Sister Zhao is pitiful enough, and you guys are still making up stories behind her back, saying it's her son who's causing trouble."
"Someone set the fire on purpose. Don't go there if you have nothing to do. If you run into some ignorant people, they will burn you too!"
"What are you talking about?"
"Who are you calling foul-mouthed?"
"You have a foul mouth?"
"Have you brushed your teeth? Don't they stink?" Aunt He said as she carried the bucket home. "Don't block my way. I need to go back to get medicine. Those children have been burned by the fire."
"Oh, did you burn someone?"
“What a sin!”
…
They were discussing animatedly over there, while others were busy warming the wine over here.
He Rongrong was making breakfast, Lu Qingqing and Wen Jiu were preparing the props they would use later, and Zhou Lian and the others were catching up on sleep while there was still daylight and no one was disturbing them.
Lu Qingqing asked doubtfully, "Sister-in-law, is it okay for us to do this? The clothes are fine but the person is injured. Who would believe it?"
"Why not?"
"I sell clothes. If my clothes are burned, can't I change them? Why do I have to wear the clothes that were burned?"
"That's true!"
Lu Qingqing was persuaded by the warm wine.
They had finished their meal before seven o'clock, warmed up the wine, got some toothpaste and pickled cabbage leaves, and started to prepare makeup for their burns.
Sauerkraut and toothpaste can both cure burns. Apply toothpaste to your face, wrap your hands with sauerkraut and roll them up with cloth strips, and wear gloves to avoid getting your clothes dirty when you pick them up.
The locations of the burns on each person were different, and Chen Can couldn't help but laugh when he saw them.
"Brother, we have all become cats."
Zhou Lian rolled his eyes and said, "Can you please shut your stinky mouth?"
After he finished with them, Wenjiu handed the toothpaste to Lu Qingqing, sat down and looked up and said, "Apply it on my face too."
Lu Qingqing applied it to her, and when she turned around to apply it to herself, the warm wine stopped her.
"Just stop rubbing it off."
"It's a bit false that they are all injured."
After preparing everything, warm up the wine and sit there leisurely, roasting firewood and eating melon seeds.
Chen Can was a child at heart, and couldn't sit still, so he secretly crouched in the crack of the door and peeked. Seeing people coming outside one after another, he went to find some wine to warm it up. "It's only eight o'clock and someone's coming, sister-in-law, should we put out the clothes in advance?"
Wenjiu shook his head, "No, it's not too late to go out when the time comes."
What are you going out for now?
The main forces haven't arrived yet!
As soon as she finished her words, Fu Gui'er shouted loudly outside. Lu Qingqing wanted to get up and go out to see what was going on, but was stopped by Wen Jiu.
"Brother Zhou, go ahead! If anyone is anxious to buy clothes, you can say that someone just deliberately poured gasoline into the yard and set it on fire. We were burned and are cleaning up. Let them line up and let them heat the stove. Be nice and appease them."
They were beaten with a stick and then given a date. If they wanted to cause trouble, they would be embarrassed. They just happened to spread the news through their mouths.
Even though it wasn't authentic enough, they certainly made it sound vivid.
After all, they are all old hands.
At half past eight, Wenjiu asked the brothers Zhang Cheng and Zhang Zhou to move a few tables out of the room and place them at the door, leaving only a two-meter-wide path to enter the store.
Chen Can shouted, "Come on, come on, line up here. Someone in the store deliberately set fire to a part of the down jacket last night. We don't have much left. If we sell out today, we'll be gone tomorrow."
"To make up for our apologies to everyone, our boss has reduced the price of all thermal clothing. Those who cannot buy down jackets can buy thermal clothing at RMB 6.50 per set."
"Thank you for your understanding, ahem…those who have bought down jackets should try not to compete with others for warm clothes, please understand."
"Let's monitor each other and don't let others cut in line. If she cuts in line in front of you, the clothes she grabs might be yours, and by the time it's your turn, there might not be any left."
He was like a dramatic actor, standing on the table, coughing and mumbling.
The smell of gasoline is strong.
The aunts and mothers heard that he was coughing so hard as if he was about to cough out his lungs, and his face was smeared with toothpaste, looking pitiful. They felt sorry for him and were afraid that others would snatch their clothes, so they glared at him with wide eyes and fired at those who wanted to cut in line like patrolmen.
"What are you squeezing?"
"I came here first, why are you pushing me? If you push me again, I'll slap you in the face!"
"Would you like to try to hit me?"
"Just give it a try!"
…
Seeing them all making a fuss and not having any intention of making a fuss with him, Chen Can's mouth almost stretched to his ears and his mouth started twitching as he tried to hold back his laughter.
Wenjiu is very satisfied with this effect.
The nemesis of the eldest mother is still the eldest mother.
Fight magic with magic!
She told Lu Qingqing, "Qingqing, you and your sister Rongrong will be in charge of collecting money later. I will be in charge of getting clothes for them and finding their sizes. When you collect money, please look at the labels. Goose down is 60 yuan per piece and duck down is 50 yuan per piece. The warm clothes are 6.5 yuan per piece. Be careful not to mix up the prices, okay?"
Lu Qingqing and He Rongrong nodded seriously.
Wen Jiu originally wanted to ask one of them to accompany him to introduce clothes, but he was afraid that it would be difficult for either of them to collect money alone, so he gave up.
Wen Jinyan arrived and seeing the huge crowds of people, she walked into the gap in the queue. The aunts and mothers in the queue were instantly furious.
"Young man, why aren't you lining up? We're all lining up, why aren't you?"
