Chapter 115: Not Expensive
Chapter 115: Not Expensive
Along the way, Jiang Xiaohe and Wang Qiuxia talked and laughed, both talking about their visions for the future. Wang Qiuxia smiled and said, "I didn't expect that my family has changed so much during this period of time."
"Our family will definitely live better in the future than now."
Wang Qiuxia smiled and nodded, and when daybreak came, the two of them arrived in the town at a moderate pace.
"Come on, mother, today, we should set up a stall in front of Shopkeeper Yu's restaurant. His restaurant has a large flow of customers."
When they arrived at the door of the restaurant, the waiter was clapping his lips to open the door. When he saw them, he said with a smile: "Oh, Madam Jiang is going to set up a stall again today."
Don't hit someone who smiles at you. Jiang Xiaohe smiled back at him.
The two put down the backpack. Jiang Xiaohe removed the cloth covering the backpack, then took out the puppet, placed it on the bamboo board she brought, and then placed the bamboo board on the backpack.
The waiter saw that they had brought some rare toys again today, so he ran over to take a look, his eyes lighting up.
"This thing my lady is selling today looks really nice."
Jiang Xiaohe asked him: "What's your zodiac sign?"
"Me? I'm a goat."
Jiang Xiaohe found a sheep from the puppets and gave it to him. Her sheep puppet was made based on Xiyangyang in the cartoon.
The waiter waved his hands hurriedly, wanting to say that he couldn't afford it.
"This is for you. Take it. You helped me last time, so I'll repay you today."
Last time? The waiter thought, could it be the last time he sold wine?
Thinking of this, the waiter took the doll with embarrassment. He was already very happy in his heart, but he still said with embarrassment: "Madam, you are so polite."
Jiang Xiaohe smiled and said, "Someone will come to your store to eat later, you can help push it."
"I am very sure of that!"
The waiter took the doll and went back to the restaurant. Feeling happy, he put the doll next to the cash register and straightened it out.
As the day grew brighter, more people came onto the street.
The people selling buns in the distance and sachets nearby started shouting.
Jiang Xiaohe also shouted at the top of her voice at this time: "Brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts passing by, come and have a look, come and have a look, these are pure hand-sewn puppet toys, there are twelve zodiac signs for each animal! Buy one back for your children, they will definitely love it, boys will become more and more motivated to study, girls will become more and more beautiful..."
When she opened her voice and shouted, she immediately attracted some people to gather around.
"Oh, this thing is pretty good-looking. How come it's different from the animals we usually see?"
Several women were looking through the dolls.
"You know what, it's really different. This one looks cuter."
"Hey, what zodiac sign is this?"
The woman held a green doll in her hand and asked Jiang Xiaohe.
Jiang Xiaohe smiled and said, "This is a dragon. Look, it has two horns on its head and scales on its body."
The woman nodded, surprised: "This is a dragon, it matches the zodiac sign of my boy, how are you selling it?"
Jiang Xiaohe took out three puppets of different sizes from the table and said, "Madam, this one is for 100 coins, this size is for 150 coins, and the largest one is for 200 coins."
The lady was stunned: "It's a bit expensive!"
Jiang Xiaohe quickly explained: "Madam, this is actually not expensive!"
Then she took out a pair of scissors, picked up a puppet at random, and cut off a corner. Wang Qiuxia was stunned, not knowing why she wanted to cut the puppet.
Jiang Xiaohe handed it to the woman and said, "Look, the inside of our puppets are all made of white cotton, including the fabrics, which are also made of fine cotton. Look at the embroidery, the dragon's eyes, and the fish scales. Just look at these and you will know that our puppets are really not expensive!"
The woman nodded slightly: "That's right."
The women nearby also nodded as they watched. One of them asked, "Do you have a rabbit? My daughter is born in the year of the rabbit. I want to get her one."
"Yes, yes. Let me find it for you." As soon as he finished speaking, he found one and handed it to her: "It looks like a rabbit, pink and white. Doesn't it look cute?"
The woman was very satisfied: "Oh, this rabbit is really beautiful, my daughter will definitely like it."
As he said that, he took out the money, turned around and walked away with a smile.
The woman who asked first saw that everyone else had bought one, so she quickly asked for one too.
Jiang Xiaohe took the money and turned around to entertain another customer. Wang Qiuxia was stunned for a while. They really sold this palm-sized puppet for 100 coins each!
"Mom, please don't just stand there. Help me find another dragon."
"okay!"
There were a lot of people surrounding Jiang Xiaohe's stall, which made the people at the next stall very envious. Even people who were going to the restaurant for dinner couldn't help but come over to take a look, and they sold several more in a row.
The woman who bought the doll first came back a little while later, bringing several other women with her: "I bought it from her."
Several women immediately surrounded her, which scared Jiang Xiaohe. She was afraid that they were looking for trouble, but she didn't expect them to smile at her and say, "My son was born in the year of the horse. Is there anyone else born in the year of the horse?"
"Ah? Yes, yes, yes. Here, for you."
The woman took one look and said, "It looks good, very good."
"Are there any people born in the year of the ox? And rats and mice!"
"Yes, yes!"
Jiang Xiaohe handed the puppet over. The woman took a look and said, "Oh my! I thought this mouse must be ugly, but I didn't expect it to be so pretty. If I take it back, my family will definitely not say that I gave birth to him late!"
Jiang Xiaohe: ...
Several more dolls were sold, both big and small. Jiang Xiaohe's wallet was a little bulging, and there were only a few dolls left on the stall, and it was still early.
Wang Qiuxia's mouth corners were almost reaching her ears from smiling.
"I didn't expect it to sell so well. If it were me, I wouldn't be willing to spend a hundred coins to buy such a doll for my child to play with."
Jiang Xiaohe smiled and said, "Mom, how can it be the same? You are reluctant to give it up because you are used to being frugal, but the people in this town have lived better than us farmers since they were born, so they are willing to give it up. When I make some money in the future and our family is well-off, you will be willing to give it up."
Just as she finished speaking, another person came over. When this person came, he took her doll and just looked at it, but did not ask the price. Jiang Xiaohe frowned immediately. Seeing that she looked at it carefully, she quickly snatched the doll from her hand and then said with a smile: "Madam, are you buying it for a boy or a girl in your family?"
The woman saw that she had snatched the doll and was obviously very unhappy: "Why? Do I have to buy it to see it?"
Jiang Xiaohe smiled and said, "How could that be? Of course you can watch it if it's not for sale, but if you want to steal my skills, then you definitely can't watch it."
