Chapter 40

"Okay, put it on!" The fifth sister put on the thread after a lot of effort, and while she let out a long sigh of relief, she shook her already sore hands, "It's really not as good as the sixth sister, I don't know how difficult it is. How can it be so light..."

Just now the sixth sister twisted the thread in her hand, before the former saw what was going on, she sent the thread into the needle hole.The fifth sister, who has to slow down a lot every year, is quite amazed.

The night of Qixi Festival is very lively, besides the begging activities that ordinary people will not miss, those rich and noble families even put on a big show, tall buildings and large courtyards, and there is no shortage of feasts and laughter.

The moonlight is clear and the half volume is left, and the lantern sleeves make people linger.Silver needles and plain cloth beg for clever threads, and watch the bullfighting and magpie bridge lead.Markets are naturally indispensable on such days, and the entire Lin'an City is not usually lively.

"Mother, shall we go over there and have a look?" The lanterns over there are really beautiful, fluttering lightly in the wind, not to mention that they belong to a lady at Seventh Sister's age. People, too, will be blinded.

The clusters of flowers are hidden between the vertical and horizontal, and the candlelight reflects the colorful paintings on the Su Luo, staining the surrounding ground and walls with a bit of mottled light and shadow, just like the scorching sun sifting through, sprinkled a little bit of good color on the world.

The shadow seemed to have been painted with ink, which only attracted Seventh Sister to reach out to grab it, and made the sisters and An Shi smile all over their faces.

Seventh Sister was running and jumping in the front, holding melons and fruits with both hands, biting left and right, but she still had no intention of stopping, her eyes were scanning back and forth on the signboard by the roadside.

As for the other two sisters, they only walked beside An, seeing that the latter did not dare to distract himself from staring at Seventh Sister's whereabouts, for fear that if they were not careful, they would be deceived.

"Mom, I want to eat this!"

The mother and the two sisters were afraid that the Seventh Sister would stop there suddenly and refuse to move, so they must be interested in something, and they had to pester An Shi to let go!

As soon as she heard Seventh Sister speak, An Shi was stunned for a moment, and then heard the peddler's flattering words: "This preserved deer is very fresh, and my wife knows that it is also a rare item in Lin'an City..."

"Little lady has a good eye, she fell in love with this deer breast at the first glance, and she knows the goods very well. She must be rich and powerful in the future. Even if she can't start her own career, she can still marry a good man!"

When An Shi and Fifth Sisters heard this, they thought it was glib - most of the candied deer sold in Lin'an City were fake products, ordinary people and celebrities all fell for it.

It's a pity that such incidents have been repeatedly banned in Lin'an City, and many peddlers even used the dead horse meat as deer breast and roe deer for petty profits.It is true that he has made a lot of money, but he has also lost a lot of virtue.

An's pulled her seventh sister behind without the slightest hesitation, although she said politely, there was no smile in her eyes: "No need, I just came out after dinner at home, let's talk about it another day."

"Mother..." Seventh Sister was still young, how could she understand what An Shi meant, she poked her head out from her mother's side, and when she wanted to say something, she asked the latter to cover her expression with her sleeve.

Fortunately, Seventh Sister was also a wink, knowing how different her mother's attitude was from usual, she only waited to get farther and farther away from the hawker, then looked up at An Shi, wanting to ask for an explanation.

"That deer is a rare thing, but where do you get so many dried meat? I'm afraid it's old meat that can't be sold!" The mother worried that her sisters would be deceived in the future, and said again, " In the future, don't let such sweet words deceive you, and pay for your life by mistake."

"This fraudulent thing is really annoying since ancient times!" An Ji spurned the peddler's deeds in front of the book, "Nowadays, those who are serious about crafting crafts have to do more bad things because they are cheating and abducting. trust……"

Nowadays, more and more people use the guise of intangible cultural heritage and culture to sell dog meat and do some shameless things for money. An Ji resonates more and more, but he is helpless.After all, wanting to change the market environment does not happen overnight.
