Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 265 Show off

Luo Yanxing scratched his head awkwardly. "This material is indeed much better than ordinary hair ties. It's not too expensive, right?"

The girl shook her head. "Have you ever thought about how many hairbands you can make from a piece of cloth? Three cents for one hairband, isn't that expensive?"

Luo Yanxing: “…”

At this time, Zhou Meiyue pursed her lips and stepped forward and said, "That's not how it's calculated. In addition to the fabric cost, the boss has to spend time cutting and making the hairband, and then sell it here, so he has to make money too.

I think 3 cents is not expensive. If I save some money by eating less snacks, I can use this hair tie for several years."

After that, she pointed at one of the hair ties and said, "Boss, do you still have this yellow one? I want to buy two."

She is young, so both the short hair and the double buns require two hair ties.

The boss combed Erni's hair and said, "Yes! I'll bring it to you later!"

Song Ying couldn't help but secretly give Mei Yue an appreciative look. This guest was pretending very well!

Some words, when spoken by the seller, are easy to be unbelievable, but when spoken by the customer, people are willing to believe them.

As soon as Mei Yue said this, many girls no longer thought the prices were too high and started to choose them.

If your family doesn’t give you much New Year’s money, you can choose a hairband made of silk, which also looks great.

Song Ying glanced at Song Yuan behind him and urged him in a low voice: "Hurry up and keep the accounts."

Song Yuan squatted on the ground and started writing correct characters with a tree branch.

"Hey, Song Ying!" A surprised voice suddenly sounded, "Is this the stall owner who helped you with your hair last year?"

Song Ying looked over and saw Yuan Shan and her brother Yuan Qing behind the crowd.

She nodded and said with a smile, "You are here too."

Yuan Shan squeezed in pleasantly, looked at Song Ying's exquisite bun, then looked at Er Ni who was sitting on a small stool and having her hair combed by Madam Zheng, and asked Madam Zheng expectantly, "Sister, can you help comb my hair while I'm shopping?"

Last year she wanted to find this stall owner to help her comb her hair, but unfortunately she never found him.

Madam Zheng smiled and nodded: "Of course, pick out what you want to buy first."

Yuan Shan selected for a while, then looked at Song Ying and said, "Boss, how many hair ties should I buy to make a bun like this?"

Madam Zheng looked at the hair ties she was wearing and said, "She used six hair ties. The one you have can also be used. Just buy five. Or you can pick some plum blossoms to replace the bows in her hair. Then buy two."

Yuan Shan turned to look at Yuan Qing: "Brother."

Yuan Qing saw what she was thinking and said, "You pick. We'll buy six."

"Brother is the best!" Yuan Shan cheered, squeezed to the front of the stall and started to select carefully.

The girls and young women surrounding the stall were mostly from farming families. They could not help but be amazed when they saw that they finally decided to buy 6 sticks at once.

Someone who arrived earlier kindly reminded me, "These hair ties are different from ordinary hair ties. They are sold by the strand and are very expensive."

Yuan Qing smiled and thanked him, then said, "It's okay, as long as my sister likes it."

He could see that the materials of these hair ties were very good, but the price of these hair ties was limited, at most only a few dozen cents, which was money he could still afford.

Besides, he was studying away from home and all the housework fell on his sister, so buying her some hairbands was no big deal.

Girls like Erni and Sanniu who have brothers felt like they had been hit hard. They all had brothers, so why were there such big differences between them?

Look at other people’s brothers, he buys 6 hairbands for two or three cents. As for my own brother, it’s good enough that he doesn’t steal money from me!

Luo Yanxing was envious but also felt embarrassed. Among all people, she was the only one who knew that Yuan Qing taught Song Ying how to read and write. With such a favor in mind, how could they accept his money?

But with so many customers here, Sister Zheng can’t just not charge them.

She looked at Song Ying, asking with her eyes. Song Ying nodded at her and said to Madam Zheng with a smile, "Boss, her hairband will be charged to my account. I will pay for it later."

From their previous conversation, it was clear that they knew each other, so Madam Zheng didn't think much about it and nodded in agreement.

Yuan Shan suddenly became alert. In the past two years, as her brother's academic performance improved, there were always girls who found various excuses to befriend him. She refused immediately: "How can that be possible..."

"Why not?" Song Ying interrupted her before she could finish. "Last year during the Lantern Festival, thanks to your brother for helping us guess the lantern riddles, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to get those beautiful lanterns. These hair ties are just a thank you gift."

Yuan Shan thought it made sense and did not refuse: "Thank you, Sister Song Ying. I almost forgot that you are already a doctor who can make money. This little money is nothing to you.

If you still want lanterns for the Lantern Festival this year, ask my brother to help you guess. "

Although they did owe Yuan Qing a favor for the lanterns last year, the tone of Yuan Shan's words was not very pleasant, so Zhou Meiyue immediately refused: "No, we can guess it ourselves this year."

Yuan Shan was stunned for a moment before she remembered that all the girls in their Xinghua Village could read. To be honest, she was a little unhappy.

In the past, apart from Miss He Tianyu, she was the only literate girl in Wutong Village, while in Xinghua Village there was only Xu Yuzhi, the daughter of a scholar, which made her naturally superior among the girls.

Although her family was not as wealthy as Mr. He's, and she didn't have a scholar father like Xu Yuzhi, she had her brother. Her brother could teach her to recognize words. Although she didn't recognize all of them, it was enough for her to rank among the top girls.

But now, all the girls in Xinghua Village can read and write, and her advantage is gone.

Song Ying, in particular, was not only literate, but was also accepted as an apprentice by a doctor in the city. He saw patients in the clinic every day and dressed very well, just like a city dweller.

People from the village who went to the clinic for medical treatment said after returning to the village that Song Ying had changed a lot. There was no neighbor around the clinic who didn't know her. As soon as she went out, the vendors and shop owners on the whole street would greet her.

Yuan Shan didn't want them to climb on top of her, so she said, "It's not like you can guess the riddles just because you know how to read. Some riddles are very difficult."

Zhou Meiyue shrugged. "It doesn't matter. There are simple riddles. Last year, Song Ying couldn't even read, but he guessed one. We get the lanterns that match the riddles we guess."

Yuan Shan didn't know how to answer, so she just said, "It's up to you guys."

After saying that, she lowered her head to pick out the hair ties, and quickly picked out 6 of them. She stood next to Madam Zheng with them and said, "Boss, how long will it take? We have to go boating in the lake this afternoon, so we are in a hurry."

Luo Yan was a carefree person, and because of Yuan Qing's kindness, she was much more tolerant of Yuan Shan. She didn't hear the other meaning in her words, and asked curiously: "Where are we going to the lake?"

Yuan Shan came here to show off, just waiting for someone to ask her about it. She happily said, "It's the lake in front of my brother's academy. My brother and his classmates have made an appointment to hold a poetry gathering on the boat today. My brother wants to take me there to play."
