Chapter 174: Chapter 174 Selling Winter lon Chapter 174: Chapter 174 Selling Winter lon Grandpa Lu had always been reluctant to use it, and later gave it to Lu Siyuan to use.
Back when Grandma Lu was still around, she used to dote on Lu Siyuan as well.
Now, seeing Shen Mianmian’s little face red and frosty, with a layer of white frost on her hair, she glared with a huff and took off her own scarf, flinging it into Shen Mianmian’s arms.
“Wrap it on.”
Shen Mianmian: “…”
She looked at the scarf and then at Lu Siyuan, sowhat speechless.
This little brat, he’s only this big, and he has already started to understand how to treat won with tenderness!
She knew that, according to Lu Siyuan’s temperant, even if she gave the scarf back to him, he wouldn’t wear it.
Upon another look, the scarf was quite long, and the two happened to be sitting side by side; she simply wrapped one end around her neck, then took the other end and wrapped it around Lu Siyuan’s neck.
Lu Siyuan thought she was going to give the scarf back to him and imdiately turned his head away, “I don’t…”
He hadn’t finished speaking when Shen Mianmian bellowed back at him, “Don’t move.”
She wrapped the scarf around him in a sowhat rough manner, and only then did Lu Siyuan notice that she had wrapped it around herself too; they were sharing the sa scarf.
A strange feeling suddenly rose in his heart, and his face heated up involuntarily, as he awkwardly turned his head to the side.
Shen Mianmian, with sharp eyes, noticed Lu Siyuan’s expression and spoke forthrightly, “This way, neither of us will be cold, and you, a little kid, better not overthink it.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Siyuan’s heart, which had been rapidly thumping, instantly cald down, and he snorted disdainfully.
“Who’s overthinking? My mom used to wrap it around just like this…”
Mid-sentence, he suddenly thought of sothing, and his face darkened.
“…Haha…”
Shen Mianmian struggled to hold back her laughter but couldn’t help it and burst into laughter, causing her stomach to ache, “I didn’t say it.”
See, even he admits that she is like his mom.
“Keep laughing, and I’ll throw you off.”
Lu Siyuan was annoyed and embarrassed, adamantly refusing to keep the scarf on any longer.
It took Shen Mianmian a while of coaxing and threatening to finally calm him down.
As they chatted, they arrived in the city without realizing it. Since it was close to New Year’s, there were many people buying groceries for the holiday at the market, and more vendors than usual. Arriving from the village, they were among the later ones.
As their previous spot had been taken by sobody else, they had no choice but to move to a less desirable location.
Lu Siyuan had brought only seven or eight bamboo baskets this ti, so he wasn’t in a hurry to sell; after unloading the baskets, he started to help Shen Mianmian unload the winter lons. They had just set down two of them when an old lady approached with a question.
“Young girl, how much are the winter lons?”
There were stalls selling various items, but those selling vegetables were quite few. The old lady, noticing the good quality of the winter lons and that they were brought from the countryside, couldn’t help but ask about the price.
Shen Mianmian and Lu Siyuan exchanged glances, both not expecting business to co so quickly.
“Two and a half cents per jin.”
The old lady’s eyes lit up, but she quickly disguised her excitent, bending down and patting the winter lon, “Two and a half is a bit expensive, isn’t it? That’s the sa price as inside the market.”
Shen Mianmian sharply caught the gleam in the old lady’s eye, realizing she was keen on the lons but was haggling over the price.
“Old lady, isn’t it three cents a jin inside the market?” She smiled, showing that she was aware of the market price of winter lons, and then started to highlight the selling point of their own lons, “Ours is grown with farm manure, it tastes much better than those grown with chemical fertilizers.”
The old lady’s eyes brightened even more upon hearing this, but she continued to nitpick, “Yours is bigger than those in the market, and I wouldn’t be able to carry it if I bought one.”
