After rebirth, I abducted the future minister

Chapter 56 Selling Flowers

After hearing this, Chu Yingying nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I'll remember it."

At dawn the next day, Chu Yingying woke up very early, lifted the quilt and climbed out of bed. She walked over and opened the window. A gust of cold wind blew in, diluting the thick warmth in the room, and the snow had stopped.

Chu Yingying put on her shoes and socks, then quietly opened the door and walked out of the room, trying not to make any noise.

A gust of cold wind blew in her face, making her cheeks hurt from the cold.

Chu Yingying took an oil-paper umbrella and a small bamboo basket under the counter, carried it on her back, and quietly left Jishi Hall.

Outside, the world covered in silver is pure and peaceful. Occasionally, birds fly over the treetops, fluttering down clumps of white catkins, like fluttering butterflies.

Chu Yingying followed the route Cui Yunhao told her and went all the way north to the northern suburbs, and successfully found the peach blossom forest.

She got into the forest, looked around as she walked, picked out a few wine-red peach blossoms in full bloom, cut them with scissors, and threw them into the bamboo basket. When the basket was full, she stopped and carried the bamboo on her back.

Basket, return along the original path.

At this time, the sky was bright and the winter sun hung high in the sky, like a piece of white iron, emitting light but without any warmth.

Chu Yingying entered the city in a hurry, but she did not go in the direction of Jishi Hall, but in the west direction of the city. There were gradually more people on the road going to the morning market, and the streets were not as deserted as when they first arrived.

"Okay." The aunt nodded, took the flowers and left.

Hurrying slowly, she walked to the market. Chu Yingying chose a relatively lively place and placed the bamboo basket on the ground. The basket contained many peach blossoms stained with dew. They looked very good and attracted many people immediately.

customer.

After Chu Yingying counted them correctly, she bowed and thanked her: "Thank you for your patronage, aunt. Please go slowly. If you want to buy peach blossoms in the future, remember to find me."

The aunt then opened her eyebrows, stretched out her hand to pick a peach blossom in the bamboo basket, and said, "Just buy one, can it be twenty cents?"

Chu Yingying hurriedly said: "Okay, how much do you want, auntie?"

Chu Yingying couldn't help but feel anxious, guessing that it was getting late and she couldn't wait too long.

Chu Yingying stood up immediately and said with a smile: "Twenty-six cents per stick, do you want to buy it?"

But they all just came to take a look and had no intention of buying.

Not long after, a woman in her forties came over, bent down and looked at the peach blossoms in her basket, and asked: "Little girl, how much do your peach blossoms cost?"

Hearing this, the aunt frowned and said, "Can it be cheaper?"

The aunt took out twenty copper coins from her bag and handed them to Chu Yingying's hand.

"Okay." Chu Yingying agreed readily.

Not long after, another bloated woman came, carrying a bamboo basket filled with various vegetables in both hands. She walked like a crab, walked around the market, and then stopped at Chu Yingying’s stall.

He stopped in front of him, squatted down and asked, "Little girl, how do you sell these peach blossoms?"

Chu Yingying cleverly moved her eyes and said loudly: "Twenty-eight cents per stick."

Unexpectedly, the woman did not find it too expensive like the previous aunt, nor did she bargain with her. She nodded and said: "I bought all the peach blossoms in your basket, but now I have a lot of things."

, I wonder, little girl, can you help me deliver it to the house? I will pay you extra for your hard work."

Chu Yingying nodded in agreement without thinking, put the bamboo basket on her back again, and left the market with her mother-in-law. She turned right and headed south.
