Chapter 43 Pei Bok Joo’s money is really easy to make!
When Gu Si and Ling Xi arrived in the town, they separated from Pei Xuan and the others. Some of the others went to the grain station or the market, but Gu Si and Ling Xi found a place to have a late breakfast and to "purchase goods" at the same time.
When the two of them went to the market again, Lingxi's space was full of harvests.
Fifty big meat buns, fifty buns stuffed with shepherd's purse and eggs, thirty kilograms of rice, and a box of bird's nests, white fungus, and donkey-hide gelatin. These were the good things they had been thinking about last time and could not be bought outside.
As for other food...
They didn't add any more.
The amount of grain on the black market is not large. If you want to buy grain, it is best to wait until the village distributes the grain. Only then will the black market usher in the peak period of grain sales. Besides, Gu Si bought a lot last time, and it has only been a short time. It would be a bit inconsiderate to buy grain in large quantities again.
The two originally wanted to go to the supply and marketing cooperative, but when they saw the long line at the door, they gave up immediately and went directly to the market.
There are many people coming to the market in the village, some buying and some selling things.
This market also has a formal name, called the Free Trade Market for Agricultural and Sideline Products, which is a place where non-planned agricultural and sideline products and other materials can be freely exchanged.
Chickens, eggs, vegetables, cloth, as well as some farm tools, tobacco, woven baskets and other daily necessities and decorations.
This is Lingxi's first time visiting the market. Everything she sees is new and she thinks everything can be bought. Food shortages will start in the second half of next year, and by then, it will be difficult to see a market like this again.
However, there were so many people buying things at the moment that it was difficult to store them in the space, so the two of them only bought some things that were easy to store and put them in the backpack that Gu Si was carrying.
Lingxi was wearing the straw hat that her fourth brother had given her from Pei Xuan, and holding a string of candied haws in her hand. She looked around and suddenly saw a stall in the corner. The moment she saw the things on it, her expression became a little subtle.
Gu Si had been protecting Lingxi from being squeezed by others and had always focused on her. Now, seeing that she didn't react right, he followed her line of sight.
It was a small stall selling odds and ends. The stall owner had his hat pulled very low so his face couldn't be seen clearly.
The stall in front of him split in two.
On one side were some ingeniously woven straws, grasshoppers, rabbits, and bird cages, all of which were toys that little kids would love. On the other side were some small stones with strange and beautiful shapes, as well as... smooth stone beads.
Gu Si: “…”
It looks familiar.
ha?
Doesn’t it look familiar?
Lingxi used to wear it around her neck, but later she directly received the beads from the pendant in the storage bracelet given to her by her fourth brother. That's how it was.
Oh, the one that little Minghui sold to Pei Bozhu was also like this!
Thinking of how Minghui was still obsessed with selling beads to her aunt and was later punished, it became a conditioned reflex and Lingxi couldn't stop smiling.
"what happened?"
Gu Si asked doubtfully.
Lingxi tried hard not to laugh out loud and told Gu Si what happened in a low voice.
Gu Si: “…”
No wonder the little guy covered his butt with a troubled look on his face on the rainy day.
There was a smile in his eyes, but...
Thinking of Lingxi's pendant being coveted by others, his eyes turned cold.
Ling Xi reassured him: "I put it in the one you gave me. Besides, didn't my second uncle and the others help me cover it up?"
Moreover, she can also use her companion space!
Lingxi and Gu Si were talking when they turned a corner and saw Pei Fuzhu and Pei Xuan.
Pei Bok Joo squatted in front of a stall selling sweet potato vermicelli and bought all of them. She was very happy!
This vermicelli can be kept for at least two years without going bad.
Who would have thought that when she turned around, she would see Pei Xuan casually tossing a few beads in his hand. The moment Pei Fuzhu saw the appearance of the beads clearly, the smile on her face froze instantly.
"Pei Xuan!"
She took two or three steps forward and dragged the man away: "Where did you get this from?"
The voice was very sharp because it was too anxious and unbelievable.
how can that be possible!
She had already kept the bead carefully.
Pei Xuan this...
These six or seven... are absolutely impossible!
At this moment, Lingxi also saw clearly the beads that Pei Xuan was playing with.
Lingxi: “…”
!!!
Pei Xuan looked as if he didn't notice Pei Fuzhu's reaction was wrong. He turned around and pointed to the stall in the corner and said, "I bought a lot of things there. They said they were old items they found somewhere. I like them. I'll give one to everyone when we get home!"
do you want?
Me, Lingxi, Big Brother, Second Brother, Gu Si, Minghui... we can give Brother Furui one more. If you want it, I won't give it to Brother Furui."
Pei Xuan seems to be very easy to talk to.
When Pei Bok Joo heard that there were still some at that stall, she went crazy.
"you……
Give me all the beads."
Pei Fuzhu just said this, and then she remembered that Pei Xuan never spoiled her, and added: "Give it all to me, I will give you money."
Pei Xuan disagreed, "Go buy them over there, there are plenty, only fifty cents each..."
Pei Xuan and Pei Fuzhu argued until Pei Fuzhu finally offered ten yuan. Pei Xuan reluctantly agreed and sold the seven beads in his hand to her reluctantly.
Lingxi: “…”
ha?
a ha ha ha……
Pei Xuan also saw Lingxi and Gu Si at this time, but saw his sister's expression as if she saw through everything.
Pei Xuan: “…”
!!!
This is not, what...
No, why are you looking at him?
It's not like he's the only one doing this evil thing.
By the way, Pei Bok Joo's money is really easy to make!
He shook the ten yuan in his hand and smiled at Lingxi: "Come on, I'll buy you whatever you want."
Looks very wealthy.
Lingxi laughed out loud: "You still sold it too cheaply."
Little kid Minghui sold one for ten dollars!
Pei Xuan: “…”
Minghui still didn't play enough and told everything to his aunt.
"You, you really know this!" Pei Xuan did not hide his intention from Lingxi and Gu Si.
Uncle Pei and Pei Jin and the others had thought it through carefully. Knowing that Pei Fuzhu had set her sights on Lingxi's pendant, they not only made a fake one for Pei Fuzhu and asked her to dig it out herself, but also made arrangements for the follow-up in case she discovered that it was a fake and came to seek revenge.
It was just that the village was busy at that time, and it was not until the current big fair that it was able to continue.
Pei Xuan took Lingxi and the others a few steps and motioned Lingxi to look at the stall in the corner.
As expected, it was the one Lingxi had met before. At a glance, there were more than thirty or fifty beads on the stall.
Pei Xuan explained to Lingxi: "The stall owner is a kid from a hunter's family in the mountains. After he sells everything, he will go back into the mountains. If you want to find him again, where can you find him? And the beads..."
Pei Xuan hadn't finished speaking when he heard Pei Fuzhu's sharp voice: "What? You sold dozens of them? You don't know how many people?"
Pei Xuan suppressed his laughter and continued: "In the future, even if Pei Fuzhu finds that the one she dug out at home is not right, the ones sold by the stall owner will be enough for her to worry about."
How could I have the energy to think about Lingxi anymore?
Lingxi buried her head in Gu Si's arm, laughing until tears came out.
a ha ha ha……
Pei Bok Joo must be going crazy!
