Chapter 162 Competition

Datou sat on the chair excitedly and said with a dance: "No one bought it at first. They thought our yam beans were smaller than other people's hawthorns. Until noon, not a single bunch was sold. Then my eldest sister and I thought

I was hungry, so I shared a bunch to eat, and a child next to me looked at us longingly. I felt sorry for him, so I gave him one, and then his parents came up and bought a bunch from us."

Da Ya was also very excited. Doing business this time was different from before. In the past, they always followed my sister-in-law and my fifth and sixth uncles, yelling, talking to people, and collecting money. It had nothing to do with them.

But this time, the brother and sister bought it on the street themselves, and all the candied haws they brought were not left behind, they were all sold!

"They told other children that our candied haws were delicious, so several adults bought them for their children to eat. I remember my sister-in-law said that these yam beans can be used as medicine, so I told them about the yam beans.

Beans can strengthen the spleen and nourish qi, so many people buy them, including even the elderly."

Man Bao immediately said: "Hawthorn can also be used as medicine. It can digest food, strengthen the stomach, activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis."

Everyone: "...Manbao, we are competing with those who sell hawthorn candied haws."

"Yes, yes," Datou said angrily: "That old man is so annoying. When my eldest sister saw him when she went there, she deliberately avoided the street where he was and went to another street. She just didn't want to follow him.

He was trying to steal business, but he came over at the next sound, come here. Seeing that we were young, he even kicked us out of the street, saying that we would not be allowed to sell candied haws on the street in the future."

Datou clenched his fists and said, "The patrolling yamen officer didn't even say I couldn't do it, so why didn't he let me do it?"

Lao Zhou frowned and asked: "Then how did you solve it in the end?"

"Fortunately, Uncle Wu and the others were not very far from that street. Someone was counting Uncle Wu and the others, so he ran to call us and ran over before we were kicked out. When he saw that there were many of us, Uncle Wu and Auntie were still adults.

He immediately didn’t dare to push us anymore.” Da Ya hummed and said, “Such a person is just like the idiom my sister-in-law said, what is your name?”

"Bully the weak and fear the strong!"

Da Ya Le said with a smile: "It's just bullying the weak and fearing the strong!"

Man Bao clenched his fist and waved it in front of his eyes: "I know, just like Bai Erlang, just give him a beating."

Lao Zhou nodded subconsciously, and then his wife glared at him. He immediately stopped nodding and lectured Man Bao, "How can a girl think about fighting and killing all day long?

"

"Isn't it enough that it's not a girl's house?" Manbao immediately took a liking to Datou and encouraged him: "Datou, next time he bullies you and Daya, just let Daya stand behind you and get in!"

Everyone: "..."

Qian nodded her forehead and asked, "Have you finished your homework?"

"It's done already."

"Then go read a book and teach Datou how to write the account book. Look at his handwriting. It looks like chicken feet."

Man Bao took one look at it and felt disgusted, and said: "It must be because there is too little written."

Qian drove all the children out, and then said: "Boss, boss, you and Datou will go there tomorrow. We have to build a house at home, and you will definitely not be able to leave. But if the candied haws can be sold, the family will

There is indeed an extra income, Datou and Daya are also older, and Lao Liu is only four years older than Datou, so can't he also go to the county town to do business?"

Zhou Dalang already felt sorry for his children and didn't want them to go to the county town again.

He hesitated for a moment.

Zhou Dalang is a loving father, but Xiao Qian is a strict mother. She said: "Okay, Dalang and I will go with you tomorrow."

Zhou Dalang lowered his head and whispered: "That man has been selling candied haws in the county for so many years. He may not know many people. What if Da Tou and Da Ya fail in the future and bully them again?"

Manbao and the others were lying by the windows and doors, listening carefully to the discussions inside.

Although she was kicked out, she would not be obedient. She also wanted to see if the bad guy who bullied Datou and the others would be beaten.

Lao Zhoutou felt that his eldest son was too boring, and said with disdain: "Da Tou is the eldest grandson, and Da Ya is also the eldest granddaughter!"

Zhou Dalang straightened his back and then stopped objecting. He nodded and said, "Okay, let's go there tomorrow."

It is impossible to beat someone. Unless the other party takes the initiative to find trouble again, if the couple goes there tomorrow, it will only be a shock. The main thing is to tell the other party that the two children at home are being watched.

The discussion in the room stopped, and then Lao Zhou started talking about building a house, asking someone to quarry and pull rocks, and asking someone to cut down trees, etc.

Man Bao was bored and left quietly. Then a group of children stood in the middle of the yard. Man Bao reached out to the big head and asked, "Where is my share of the money?"

Datou opened his eyes innocently, "What kind of money?"

"The candied haws on a stick, the yam beans are mine, so I have to count my share of the money for the candied haws on a stick."

Datou's eyes widened, "But, my mother took all the money."

Man Bao then took back his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. I'll go find my sister-in-law later and ask her how much money I earned today."

Da Tou has been studying for a little more than a year and can already count from one to a hundred. On the way back today, he and Da Ya counted the money. First, he counted a hundred coins in the bag. If he had enough, he broke a branch and took it.

, and then counted the second hundred coins, but I couldn’t count the second hundred coins and it was gone.

So he said: "There is a hundred, and there is a black and sixteen."

The price of their candied hawsers is the same as other people's. A small bunch costs three cents a bunch, and a large bunch costs five cents.

However, yams look smaller than hawthorns, so they have no price advantage at all.

So they can all be sold, which shows how popular its taste is.

Manbao laughed happily and said: "The hawthorn he used is so sour that I don't like eating it at all. I don't think the children in the county will like it either."

"No, I think it's quite delicious," Da Ya rarely said a fair word for him.

Man Bao asked her curiously, "How did you know?"

"Because he and I bought a bunch to eat. I thought his hawthorns were red and looked better than yam beans. I also wanted to know what his candied haws tasted like, so I tasted them."

Datou nodded, "I also ate two, and we brought the rest back for my parents and brother to eat.

But poor Santou didn't eat the hawthorn candied haws, because they were all confiscated by Xiao Qian. She thought the candy he poured was so beautiful, and the candy wrapped in it was translucent and slightly thicker than hers, so she was curious.

After studying it, I ate all the hawthorns without realizing it.

San Tou had been waiting aside, but he saw his mother breaking off some candies and eating a little, and then slowly, slowly, she ate all the candied haws.

He was stunned for a moment, and then burst into tears.
