Chapter 670 Plum
"Old lady, why don't you sell at the foot of the mountain? Why do you sell on the mountain?" Feng Ruoxue walked to the old lady's stall and noticed the baskets on the ground.
These baskets were full of plums. Feng Ruoxue didn't know how heavy the plums in these baskets were, but she guessed that they were not light.
Chu Nan could tell at a glance how heavy so many plums were. Together with the baskets, they should weigh about 300 pounds.
Looking at the old lady and the little girl in front of him, Chu Nan felt that they alone would not be able to carry such heavy plums up the mountain.
It seems that there are other people in the old lady's family who sent these plums up the mountain, but even if there are adults who send these plums up the mountain, it is estimated that it will take a lot of physical strength.
Perhaps Feng Ruoxue thought so in her heart, so she had such a question.
"Oh, little girl, you don't know that you can't sell many plums at the foot of the mountain, but you can sell them on the mountain. Old lady, I can sell all these plums every day." The old lady was a very talkative old lady. After hearing Feng Ruoxue's question, she started chatting with Feng Ruoxue eagerly.
It turned out that the old lady also sold at the foot of the mountain at first, but she couldn't sell many every day. Later, she found out that some tourists felt that it was too hard to carry such heavy plums and climb the mountain. Even if they wanted to eat them, they were unwilling to buy them before climbing the mountain.
When they went down the mountain, they didn't want to buy plums anymore. After all, they had to go home after going down the mountain. If they wanted to eat plums, they could go to the fruit store near their home to buy them, and there was no need to buy them on the mountain here.
But it would be very good if they could easily eat a few plums on the top of the mountain to quench their thirst after climbing the mountain.
After knowing this, the old lady asked her neighbors to send the plums to the mountain, and she brought her granddaughter to sell them on the mountain together.
The reason why she asked the neighbors to help bring the plums up was because the old woman's son had passed away, and her daughter-in-law had remarried, so she was raising her granddaughter alone.
"So that's how it is." Feng Ruoxue nodded after hearing this. It was true that most people would not be willing to carry such heavy plums up the mountain unless they were riding a slide.
It was true that people who came to the mountain would feel thirsty. After all, it was such a long way, and they didn't walk up by themselves. Feng Ruoxue also felt that she was very thirsty now.
While chatting with the old woman, she picked the plums. After a while, Feng Ruoxue picked a bag of plums.
The old woman was really talkative. In just a while, Chu Nan and the others heard a lot of gossip, even that the plums planted by Taoist Heluo in the Taoist temple were the most delicious, and every time they gave alms, there would be people scrambling for them. The old woman also told this.
The old lady also said that if it weren't for the fact that Taoist Heluo didn't sell his plums but only gave them away, she wouldn't have much business selling plums here, and she also said some words to thank Taoist Heluo.
Chu Nan and Feng Ruoxue listened to the story told by the old lady and found it very interesting. After a while, Feng Ruoxue picked out all the plums she wanted.
"The money has been transferred." After the old lady weighed the plums, Chu Nan transferred the money with his mobile phone.
"Oh, it doesn't take so much." After hearing the payment information, the old lady stood up in surprise and grabbed Chu Nan who was about to leave.
"It's okay, grandma, I like to listen to stories. The stories you tell give me a lot of inspiration. This is your reward."
After listening to the old lady's story, Chu Nan felt that his life was very difficult. It was too pitiful for an old man to farm and feed his granddaughter alone, so he gave more money when transferring the money.
This little money was nothing to Chu Nan, but it could reduce some of the burden on the old lady's family.
According to what the old lady said just now, Chu Nan knew that the old lady's son died of illness. Although the family was a little poor, they still spent all the money in the family to treat his illness, but in the end, his son was not cured.
Because the daughter-in-law had no money at home, she had to choose to go out to work. During the work, she met her new husband. However, because her new husband's family was not very rich, he could not give the old lady and her family much help.
Although they would occasionally send some money back, the old lady and her family still lived in a very tight situation.
"How can that be? How can that be?" The old lady listened to Chu Nan's random excuse, but still did not agree to accept the money from Chu Nan.
It was just that because her mobile phone payment code was not her own, but her neighbor's, she could not transfer the money to Chu Nan for a while.
"Wait for my neighbor to come over, and I will return the money to you." Seeing that Chu Nan insisted on leaving, the old lady no longer forced Chu Nan to stay, but asked Chu Nan for his phone number.
Chu Nan would not give his mobile phone number to the old lady. He was originally here to help the old lady, so how could he take the money back?
So he patiently explained to the old lady again.
After much persuasion, the old lady finally stopped pestering Chu Nan.
But she stuffed a lot more plums into Feng Ruoxue's bag, regardless of Feng Ruoxue's words like "Too many, no more."
The old lady stopped until the bag in Feng Ruoxue's hand was full and it would leak out if she stuffed one more.
"Isn't this old lady too polite?" After leaving the old lady's stall, Feng Ruoxue handed the plums in her hand to Chu Nan with a smile.
The old lady gave too many plums, and Feng Ruoxue's hand was strangled by the bag with a deep red mark.
Chu Nan looked at the red marks on Feng Ruoxue's hand, and felt a little distressed. He put his hand on Feng Ruoxue's hand and moistened Feng Ruoxue's hand with spiritual energy. After his hand was removed, Feng Ruoxue's hand recovered.
Feng Ruoxue shook her hand back and forth, and felt no pain at all, and the red marks disappeared. She felt a little incredible and looked at Chu Nan's hand over and over.
"Oh, showing affection here again?" Unknowingly, Jiao Xinmei had finished looking at the surrounding stalls. Seeing Chu Nan and Feng Ruoxue standing at the door of the Taoist temple, she also left.
Behind her, Bai Nan followed, and no one knew when the two got together again.
Jiao Xinmei came to Chu Nan and the others, and when she saw Feng Ruoxue, she pulled Chu Nan's hand and looked at it over and over again, and couldn't help but complain again.
Feng Ruoxue let go of Chu Nan's hand immediately after hearing what she said, and asked what she had bought just now.
