Chapter 36: Touched to the point of crying
"Little girl, where are your parents?"
Although the girl's clothes were better than those of ordinary people, she was still very young. She spent so much money to buy so many puppets. Jiang Mixia was a little worried that the girl had bought them secretly without consulting her family.
If her family disagrees and comes to her to ask for a refund, but she has already packed up and left, and finally takes out their anger on the little girl...
"My mother is over there." The little girl pointed to the side and said with a smile, "Don't worry, sister. I didn't sneak out to spend money. I told my mother that I would buy things by myself, and I came here because my mother agreed."
Jiang Mixia looked in the direction the little girl pointed, and sure enough, she saw a carriage parked not far away diagonally opposite, and a woman with a maid was looking at this side with a smile.
There are several farms to the west of Shanglin Town. It is said that the owners are either rich or noble. Every summer, the families of dignitaries come here to enjoy the mountains and rivers.
Now looking at the way this little girl and the woman are dressed, I think they are from such a family. They came to the town market today to take a look and see the excitement.
I have to say, I am really lucky today. I actually met such a family and bought the puppet for myself.
Jiang Mixia smiled and said, "Sister, I understand and feel relieved. Then, sister will give you the money."
Jiang Mixia had just sold about twenty baskets and earned enough copper coins. She counted them, strung the coins together with a hemp rope, wrapped the puppet, and handed them to the girl. "Take the puppet and the money."
"Um...do you need your sister to take it over for you?"
"No, I can do it." The little girl picked up the small bag that Jiang Mixia had packed for her and raised her chin. "I'm eight years old this year. I'm very strong. I can carry these things."
"Okay, then walk slower."
Jiang Mixia watched the little girl return to her mother with a smile, then she happily closed the stall with Song Jingyun and went to West Street to look for Jiang Youcheng and Jiang Chunshi.
The little girl carried a small bag and followed her mother into the carriage.
The driver cracked his whip and drove the cart slowly forward.
"Come, let me see what good things my Yan'er bought for me." Zheng smiled and unwrapped the carefully and tightly wrapped small bag.
"These things are very beautiful. I have never seen them before. I'm sure mother will like them." Qiu Yuyan smiled. After Zheng untied the small bundle, she took out the things inside and showed them to her as if she was presenting a treasure.
"Look, mom. This is the first time I've seen such a fat fawn. It's so round and cute."
"And this puppy is so unique, and this kitten..."
Zheng carefully looked at the puppets one by one and nodded approvingly, "They are really good."
Although it looks a bit weird at first glance, it also feels very unique. But after a closer look, I find it quite cute and interesting. If I look at it for a long time, I find it even more beautiful and I can't put it down.
"Madam, I look at this puppet. It looks very novel, but the craftsmanship is a little poor. It can't be compared with the masters in our shop. It's a pity that it looks so novel." The maid Ginkgo said with a smile.
"It's hard to find perfect things in this world. It's even rarer to have something new and novel. Take these back and let the people in the shop take a look at them. They'll see how rare they are."
Zheng reached out and touched Qiu Yuyan's little head. "Pick one or two that you like and play with them."
"Okay." Qiu Yuyan responded crisply and smiled.
The dimples on the cheeks are especially cute.
Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun walked all the way to West Street, in high spirits.
"Look what I say, the puppet will definitely sell." Song Jingyun raised his chin with some pride.
"Yes, yes, you are right. You are the lucky star of the family." All the things were sold and they got so much money that Jiang Mixia did not hesitate to praise.
But this is also what I really think.
Jiang Mixia always felt that as long as Song Jingyun was by her side, her luck would become particularly good.
It works every time.
"Whatever you want to eat, I'll buy it for you." Jiang Mixia felt that verbal praise was a bit empty, and it would be better to do something practical.
For Song Jingyun, the food was what he liked.
Knowing that he is greedy, she buys him food. She treats him so well.
Song Jingyun nodded excitedly and went on to choose what he wanted to eat.
There are many delicious foods for sale here.
Soft and sticky donkey rolls, fresh and tender pea yellow, oily fried fruits, sweet fried sugar cakes...
But after looking around, I was confused.
Because everything looked delicious, he wanted to eat them all.
"Then buy a little of each." Jiang Mixia was quite generous.
Song Jingyun, "..."
I was so moved that I wanted to cry.
"My lady is so nice." Song Jingyun chuckled and then went to get the food happily.
He bought two of every one he could see.
After taking two donkey rolls, four fried sugar cakes and two pieces of fried fruit, Song Jingyun stopped, "That's enough to eat."
The young son-in-law is not greedy.
"Okay." Jiang Mixia paid the money and looked at the fried dough sticks over there. "Let's buy some dough sticks and make some tofu soup for lunch."
This also saves me from having to go back home to prepare lunch in the hot summer.
"good."
Song Jingyun was of course happy to buy more food, and he just helped Jiang Mixia carry the bamboo basket to get the things.
Thinking about Jiang Chunshi, Jiang Mixia bought some more fried dough sticks.
When the two men arrived at West Street, Jiang Youcheng and Jiang Chunshi were also packing up their things. There were no bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets, benches or anything else left, obviously they had all been sold.
When they learned that Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun's sewing baskets and puppets were all sold out, the two were quite happy.
Jiang Chunshi, in particular, had a red nose from excitement.
Since he left the carpenter, except for the time when Jiang Youcheng's family came to him to make household items, today was the first time he made something by himself and sold it, and his business was so good.
Especially those puppets, which don’t waste any wood and sell at a very good price.
"It seems that I have to sell more puppets in the future." Jiang Chunshi said on the way back.
"I was just about to tell my eldest brother about this." Jiang Mixia then told him about the fact that many people were looking at puppets at the market today, but very few were buying them. "We were lucky to be able to sell them today, as we met such a buyer. If it happens next time, I think it will be very difficult."
"But this puppet is definitely popular. Big Brother, you might as well take some time to make it. When we go to the temple to burn incense in August, we can bring it with us. It should sell well if we sell it there."
There is a temple in the east of Fengyang County called Deyin Temple. It is said that it is blessed by the Bodhisattva and wishes are very effective, so it is quite popular.
Even many people from surrounding counties and even the provincial capital often go to the temple to burn incense and pray.
