After packing up the cart and pushing it with the sound of rain, Xun Yingju took the little girl to the meat stall. Behind the meat stall stood a butcher covered in meat. When he saw two little girls coming, he immediately put on a smile that he thought was very amiable. , asked:"Little girl, want to buy meat?"

"Well, how to sell meat?"You're welcome, Xun Yingju. Girl, when I spend money, I always want to buy something that I feel comfortable with."

"The girl has good eyesight. The meat here is the best in the whole morning market. Pure meat is 18 cents per catty, ribs are 10 cents per catty, and pig's feet are 8 cents per catty."The butcher explained to the two of them with a smile.

People in the village can't eat meat a few times a year. Even if they want to buy it, they buy pure meat, and they buy the kind that is fat and thin, and the kind that makes oil come out after one bite. Very few people buy ribs and pork. Feet and these eat food.

In Xun Mansion, a little girl like Yu Sheng can rarely eat meat. Today, when she saw the girl wanting to buy meat, she started to smack her lips. She also knew that her family had little money and could not afford it.

Xun Yingju also knew that her family However, this body is really weak and needs a lot of supplements, exercise every day, and eat some meat. So he said:"I want five ten kilograms of ribs.""

"okay."The butcher smiled and weighed the ribs for Xun Yingju, and put them directly on the cart after weighing them.

Xun Yingju paid the money, went to the grocery store again, and bought some stew seasoning. The two carts went straight back to Hongshan Village. They passed the village entrance. When I walked over the bridge, I found that there were more people washing clothes here.

The women gathered together to talk, chatting with the elders of the east and west families in the village. When someone saw Xun Yingju bringing the little girl back, she immediately said:"Look, the Xun family's The little girl is back"

"What kind of girl is she? She is just a concubine born from an aunt, and she is a servant of the family." said a thin woman's sharp voice.

"If you like a girl, you won't be sent to our village, and you won't be raised with delicacies?" another woman said

"I must have made some mistake, so I sent him out."

"Who knows what’s going on inside the mansion?"

"……"

"They've gone too far, girl, I'm going to teach them a lesson."She couldn't stand hearing the sound of rain any more and wanted to go up and teach someone a lesson.

Xun Yingju grabbed her and said,"It's other people's mouths. We can't control what they want to say. Just live your own life."

"But they went too far, how could they say this to a girl?"Yusheng looked resentful and didn't want to let it go at all. She looked like she was about to pounce on her with all her strength.

Xun Yingju's eyes drifted past the thin woman, and she was stunned for a while, then whispered to Yusheng:"It's almost noon, let's go back first. Have dinner at home. I know you usually like to play outside. We don’t have to worry about food money these two days. You can come out and play for a while."

Yu Sheng, who had been watching Xun Yingju, his eyes fell on the women washing clothes, and he immediately nodded and said,"Okay, I knew the girl was the best."

The two people's voices were not loud, but the women washing clothes under the bridge heard it. Countryside people all rely on farming to support their families, and there are not many ways to make money. When they heard that the two little girls had already spent the rice and grain money they had received in the past few days, After making money, her mind immediately became lively.

Regardless of what these women were thinking, Xun Yingju and his servant pushed the cart home. When they were about to get home, Xun Yingju found a lot of people around her door. Ms. Bai was sweating profusely, like She was explaining something to the people around her. Aunt Cai also helped to speak, but the villagers refused to leave.

Bai's temperament was soft, and she seemed to be neither fighting nor grabbing when she was in Xun Mansion. Perhaps because of this, Bai Mrs. Hu didn't reach out to help when she was driven out of the house. After thinking about it, Xun Yingju put aside the sound of rain on the cart, ran forward and grabbed Ms. Bai and asked:"Mom, what do these people do?"The look on his face was full of vigilance, as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

"Ju Yatou, you are back. When Bai saw Xun Yingju, she seemed to wake up when she saw him. She immediately stepped forward and asked,"Were you not in trouble when you went to town?""

"Mom, I'm fine."Xun Yingju's eyes fell on the villagers surrounding the door. These people were all carrying a large basket of hawthorn on their backs. They looked at Bai with expectant eyes. When she saw the hawthorn in the basket, she seemed to understand something, but she didn't say it directly. It was a verbal inquiry.

After hearing Xun Yingju's inquiry, Mrs. Bai reacted, frowned, and said with some embarrassment:"They came to my house to sell hawthorns. I don't know if you still want them. I want them to wait until you come back before asking, but they……"

But they just refused to leave, unwilling to wait a little longer, and refused to leave until Bai accepted them. Thinking of this, Xun Yingju glanced at everyone with sharp eyes.

The people around were glanced at by this gaze and took a step back. They didn't expect that a ten-year-old girl would have such a gaze. They, the old men, didn't dare to look directly at her.

After frightening the villagers, Xun Yingju did not continue to chase. Instead, she softened her voice and said,"I know that everyone is having a hard time, and they are anxious to make some money to support their families. But spending money to buy Shanlihong is my business. If I want to buy, I will buy it with money. If I don't want to buy, I won't be forced to do so."

Seeing that everyone was more honest, Xun Yingju didn't bother these people. She still needs hawthorn. The hawthorn cake business has just started, so she can't do a lot. There is no raw material in the sky. Since someone comes to deliver raw materials, they will naturally not turn them away. Opening the gate of the yard, he said:"We have agreed in advance that the price will be one penny and ten pounds. Those who are willing to sell can come in, and those who are not willing can leave. If there are still some at home, they can be delivered tomorrow. As long as they meet the quality I need, I will accept them all.

" I will collect it once I can. Although the price is a little cheaper, these things will only rot at home. If they can be sold for a penny, they will be worth a penny.

Xun Yingju personally checked the quality of these fruits. Although not as fresh as those just picked, they were in good condition. According to this standard, she collected all the fruits she could. Aunt Cai also helped check the quality. Soon the hawthorns brought by the villagers were collected. over. In this way, more than three hundred kilograms were collected. Now the problem of supply has been solved, and 500 to 600 kilograms of hawthorn can be used for more than a month.

After the villagers left, Aunt Cai looked at Xun Yingju with some embarrassment and said coyly:"Girl Ju, I didn't ask them to sell!"

"Auntie misunderstood. I don’t blame you. I need all these things. We are all neighbors in the same village. It’s a good thing that everyone is living better. I’ll take it if I can. But I hope these people don’t embarrass my mother.."This is Xun Yingju's bottom line. If anyone dares to bully others by taking advantage of the large number of people, she will not be polite.

"No, no, I won't let them bully others."Aunt Cai breathed a sigh of relief. She showed off in front of the villagers and sold the hawthorns to the Xun family. The villagers heard this and brought home all the hawthorns to sell. The Bai family did not get the arrangement from Xun Yingju, so naturally they did not dare to accept it easily.
