Chapter 14
"Okay! Come on, let's go sell some cloth and ask Mother to make you a beautiful dress." Lan Tao reluctantly agreed with a lot of reluctance in his heart.

Lan Tao and Lan Jia went to the venetian shop.

The waiter came over enthusiastically. "Kids, you are selling clothes. The masters who make clothes here are top-notch, and the cloths sold are high-quality, medium, and ordinary." Lan Jia thought that the waiter in the shop saw me and Lan Tao wearing clothes covered in patches, but still Come here to introduce and recommend enthusiastically. I will not look down on you just because I am a child. I will ignore you because I am a dog. The service attitude is very good and makes people feel at home. This boss will definitely become stronger and bigger in the future. It is only a matter of time. ,Really great.

"Little brother, do you have any cheaper cloth?" Lan Jia thought that her family's financial conditions were very difficult, so she could save as much as she could, as long as she wore clothes and didn't network with others.

"Speaking of which, we do have some in our shop, but it's just last year's fabric, and there's still a piece of fabric left. I'll show you some."

The waiter in the shop quickly brought a piece of cloth, which was light blue in color. Lan Jia touched it with her hand, and it felt pretty good.

"How much is this?" Lan Jia frowned, not very satisfied.

"This one cost a tael of silver last year, but now it costs 500 coins." The waiter in the shop impatiently recommended it.

Sounds like it should be less. "Don't say your cloth is outdated, and the cloth is polluted. It's too expensive to buy so much now. If it costs 200 cash, I'll sell it. If it doesn't matter, our family also takes care of the business of this store. Small profits but quick turnover is not better. .”

"If you sell it for 240 Wen, you can sell it, and if you don't sell it, forget it." The waiter in the shop seemed to be the lowest price.

"Buy it now, 220 Wen. If you buy it, you can buy it. If you don't buy it, forget it." Lan Jia said seriously.

The waiter in the shop thought that this dress would only deceive children, and adults would never buy it. "Okay! Look, I'll buy it for you at the lowest price, and take care of our store's business next time."

Lan Jia said: "Big brother can buy some for us at the discount point. I want to buy red, light yellow, purple, pink, rose, and black."

"Counting you 12 Wen, a total of 232 Wen." Lan Tao gave it extremely reluctantly, and the shop waiter counted 232 Wen, and the shop waiter handed the cloth to Lan Tao and the thread to Lan Jia.

Lan Jia walked forward happily, and Lan Tao felt it was a pity that he had to move home like a coolie after buying some useless things.

"Brother, shall we sell buns? I'm hungry." Lan Jia said.

"Okay! It's fine if you don't sell this piece of cloth today, but Erya, we are still very good today. At first I thought that it might be good to buy 20 coins. Who knew that you sold so much? Hurry up, Erya, we're going to sell buns." Lan Tao was hungry, and he had no strength to carry the cloth, and couldn't take it anymore, so soon we walked to the bun shop.

"Uncle, the steamed buns are a few cents, and the steamed buns are a few cents."

The uncle who bought the buns came over quickly. "A steamed bun costs 2 coins, and a steamed bun costs 1 coin."

"Bring us 8 steamed buns and 6 steamed buns." The uncle picked them up for us and handed them to us, but we had no place to pack them.

"Uncle, we don't have bags, just give us four buns." Lan Jia was embarrassed.

"I have it here, just bring it to me next time I go to the market." The uncle found a cloth bag and packed it.Lan Tao counted 22 Wen to the uncle.

Lan Jia said, the two of them walked and ate, walked to the place where we got off the ox cart today, and took a rest, just in case we met Lan Dahai, Lan Tao found a clean place to put down the cloth, and then ate a steamed bun.Lan Jiaren had a steamed bun and a steamed bun for snacks.Lan Jia gave Lan Tao a steamed bun, and Lan Tao continued to eat. He wanted to wait a while, but he had to work hard. Eating the steamed stuffed bun was very exciting. Lan Tao had just finished eating the steamed stuffed bun, when he saw Lan Dahai driving an ox cart, Lan Jia jumped Get up and shout. "Uncle Dahai, we are here."

Lan Dahai hurriedly stopped the ox cart and saw Lan Tao holding a messyly dyed cloth. "Lan Tao, how do you buy this kind of cloth home?"

"Because it's cheap!" Lan Jia said.

Lan Dahai came down to help carry the cloth to the ox cart, then carried Lan Jia onto the ox cart, and Lan Tao jumped into the ox cart by himself. "Uncle Dahai gave you two buns."

"Eat quickly, Uncle Dahai is not hungry." Lan Dahai postponed.

"Uncle Dahai, eat the buns quickly, we've already eaten them." Lan Jia stretched out her hand all the time, Lan Dahai took it and put it in her arms without eating it. I have never eaten steamed stuffed buns in this place, and ordinary people may only eat them during the Chinese New Year.

The bullock cart was swaying, I leaned against Lan Tao and soon fell asleep, it didn't feel like it was too long, Lan Tao pushed Lan Jia. "Erya wake up and get out of the car. Uncle Dahai can drive the ox cart home." Lan Jia heard that he opened his eyes, and Lan Tao jumped down.The cloth bag was taken down.Give it to Lan Tao and Lan Jia.

"Thank you, Uncle Dahai." Lan Tao and Lan Jia said hurriedly.

"You're welcome." Lan Dahai hurriedly drove the ox cart away.

Lan Tao carried the cloth on his shoulders and walked forward with his head held high like General Chang Sheng. Lan Jia also jumped up and down beside Lan Tao.Happily ran home.

Lan Tao carried the cloth and walked away with a smile on his face. Lan Jia thought that this summer, she could not wear the clothes of the lovers, and her heart soared with joy.

Lan Tao said: "Ah, we earned a lot of money today. Father, mother, and eldest sister know that the family has this money, so we should breathe a sigh of relief, but we sneaked into the street, what should father do if he wants to clean me up?"

Lan Jia felt that her eldest brother was very sensible, and his family was struggling financially, and he knew to worry about these things, but he didn't care about the comfort of his clothes, and he didn't listen to persuasion, so he acted childishly, and felt ashamed. Only now did he realize that he was full of guilt , I will think twice before doing anything in the future, and don't act impulsively and ignore it.

"Don't be afraid, big brother. Daddy loves me so much. If something happens, Erya will stand in your way." Lan Jia patted her chest and said with pride. Lan Jia wanted to sell all the cloth, and thinking about it would not help. It would be better to find a way to turn the bad things around. If you do something good, you will be happy in your heart.

"You! With such a small body, I will knock you down in a few strokes." Lan Tao looked at Lan Jia up and down, and shook his head.

"Big brother won't really beat us, will he?" Lan Jia was extremely nervous, as if she was really beaten to pieces, which made people tremble all over and feel terrified in their hearts.

Lan Tao said with a happy smile, "But I haven't been punished by my father yet, so I'll tell you at most." Then he laughed loudly, who told you to do things today, keep doing it to me, and give you a small punishment.

"Brother - you just know how to scare me, scaring me half to death." Lan Jia beat Lan Tao several times, venting her dissatisfaction, and ran home pretending to be unhappy.
