Chapter 61 Silver Dollar Can Sing
Wu Ma was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the old lady would let the two children sell eggs.
Si Jinchen remembered: "If you buy them individually, they are one yuan each, and one silver dollar can buy thirty-three. If you buy them individually here, they can be sold for one hundred yuan. If you buy them individually, you can get three eggs with one left."
Juanjuan was still counting on her little fingers, but the number in her head was still one, thirty-three.
I don’t know how my brother calculated it so quickly.
Madam Si looked at her little face, which was wrinkled like a bun. She said, "Juanjuan will be responsible for selling the goods, and brother will be responsible for collecting the money."
"Okay!" Juanjuan breathed a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders.
This time they didn't take a car, but walked out carrying a basket of eggs.
Songsong followed them.
The market is still very lively. You can see many people selling things. The grocery store sells various bamboo baskets, brooms and other things.
There are stalls lined up on both sides of the road, and you can sell things in any open space on the street.
Old Madam Si found a place for the two children, put down the eggs, and then stepped aside with Wu Ma.
Wu Ma was a little puzzled: "Madam, why do you let the young master and the young lady sell things? Let me do it!"
"No. A Tian doesn't want them to become greenhouse flowers. They need to know the sufferings of the world and see the living conditions of ordinary people."
"If it were peacetime, I would hope they wouldn't know the sufferings of the world, but now..."
Madam Si didn't finish her words, she just looked at the two small figures.
Wu Ma sighed. Her family was gone, and she wanted to live a stable life in the Governor's Mansion, but she didn't know how long such a life could last.
Juanjuan looked curiously at the people coming and going on the street. Many people were hawking their wares. "Brother, should we hawk our wares too?"
Si Jinchen was a little confused. How should this be called?
He has no idea at all!
"Eggs for sale! Fresh eggs that can hatch chicks!" Juanjuan put her little hands to her mouth to form a small trumpet, and imitated the people around her to shout out her wares.
Her voice was soft and sweet, but it was particularly special in this noisy market, and many people looked in their direction.
Si Jinchen heard her shouting and stood up and shouted bravely: "Eggs for sale, fresh eggs, can hatch chicks!"
Well, the voices of the two children, one after the other, really attracted quite a few people.
Many people saw that the two children were dressed simply, but they thought they were cute no matter how they looked at them, and couldn't help but come forward to ask them.
An aunt squatted in front of them and asked: "How much are your eggs?"
Juanjuan turned to look at Si Jinchen: "Brother."
"Aunt, one yuan each, thirty-three for one silver dollar." Si Jinchen quoted the price.
My aunt thought about it and thought the price was right: "Can these eggs from your house really hatch chicks?"
"Yes, we have three spotted chickens and ten hens at home." Juanjuan answered seriously.
When my aunt heard this, she was amused. Many people gathered around her and asked, "Little sister, what is a flower chicken?"
"My sister is talking about roosters. Their feathers are colorful, so she always calls them colorful chickens." Si Jinchen explained to the people around him.
"Then I'll buy ten eggs and try. If they can hatch, I'll buy more from you." Auntie counted out ten yuan and handed it to him readily.
Si Jinchen counted them carefully, and after making sure the number was correct, he began to pack eggs for his aunt.
Juanjuan squatted beside them and whispered, "When you go to your aunt's house, you must hatch quickly and grow up quickly!"
Auntie listened with a smile on her face: "What a thoughtful child."
"Auntie, count, I packed ten eggs for you." Si Jinchen asked her to count again.
"When you were counting just now, I also counted, that's right." Aunt took the basket and left.
Then many more people came to buy eggs. At this time, a man came with a silver dollar and wanted to buy thirty-three eggs.
He handed the silver dollar to Si Jinchen: "I want thirty-three eggs."
"Uncle, you can't use fake money to cheat children!" Juanjuan frowned as he looked at the silver dollar in his hand.
"What nonsense are you talking about, kid? How could this be a fake silver dollar?" The man looked at her with displeasure.
"Real Qianqian can sing, but fake Qianqian will cry!" Juanjuan wrinkled her nose.
"You're a three-year-old child, how can you possibly tell the difference between real and fake? If you don't sell it to me, I'll find someone else. I've never seen anyone not sell something after paying for it. Don't buy from here."
"It's obvious that they're two ignorant little brats who don't even know the difference between real money and fake money."
After the man finished speaking, he chased the person who came to buy eggs.
Si Jinchen looked at him: "Uncle, can you knock on the silver dollar?"
"Why would I want to extort silver dollars for no reason?" the man said righteously.
"The sound of a real silver dollar is crisp and long, while the sound of a fake silver dollar is dull and short. If you don't dare, it means you have a fake silver dollar." Si Jinchen looked at him and said.
"That's right, if you have the guts, knock it down for everyone to hear, don't bully those two kids."
"You're so grown up, you even lie to children. Aren't you afraid of spraining your ankle when you go out?"
The man didn't dare to knock, and could only look at the two children fiercely: "Just wait for me."
After he said that, he pushed through the crowd and ran away.
A young woman squatted in front of their stall: "Little sister, how do you know the money he took is fake?"
"Qianqian said it herself!" Juanjuan blinked her beautiful big eyes, and her eyelashes fluttered.
The woman took out a silver dollar from her bag and asked, "Do you think this is real?"
Juanjuan nodded: "It's true! Blow on it and it will sing!"
"Really?" The woman blew on the silver dollar and placed it next to her ear, and she really heard a clear and pleasant sound.
“He’s actually singing.”
"Juanjuan didn't lie to her sister!" Juanjuan said with a smile.
"Then sister, can I use this silver dollar to buy thirty-three eggs from you?" The woman handed her the silver dollar.
"Okay." Juanjuan stretched out her little hand and took the silver dollar from her palm.
Si Jinchen counted out thirty-three eggs and gave them to her: "Sister, these are your eggs."
"Thank you." The woman stood up and left with the eggs.
Many people thought the two children's talk was really interesting, so they bought a few eggs. Soon, all the 100 eggs they brought were sold out.
Si Jinchen pulled Juanjuan and took the empty bamboo basket to go to see Old Madam Si: "Grandma, we have sold all the eggs."
He took out the money from his pocket and handed it to her: "This is the money from selling eggs."
Madam Si and the others had been watching, and had thought that the two children would suffer, but now it seems that they will not suffer.
