277 Ah Yu Buys Beans
As the rice available for sale today was sold out, the grain shop gradually quietened down.
After the crowd dispersed, Little Ah Yu, who was standing at the door, appeared especially eye-catching.
“Hey, isn’t this Ah Yu of the Wang Family? Why are you here? Where’s your parents?” When the shopkeeper saw Little Ah Yu, he walked over with a smile and patted her little head.
Little Ah Yu held her head. “Uncle Shopkeeper, Ah Yu is already three years old. You can’t touch my head. I won’t grow tall!”
The shopkeeper was amused. “Ah Yu is three years old. Not bad. When our child was three years old, he wasn’t as tall as you.”
As he spoke, the shopkeeper gestured at his waist and pointed at Little Ah Yu’s head. “You’re taller than him. Girls shouldn’t grow too tall.”
He wanted to say that she needs to be careful in case she could not find a husband in the future, but he felt that it was not appropriate to say this to a three-year-old child. He simply turned around and took a candy from the table.
It was a small piece of candy and he handed it to Little Ah Yu. “Come, Uncle will treat you to candy. Go play elsewhere. When a guest comes later, it won’t be good if they accidentally knock you down.”
“I want to buy something too!” Little Ah Yu did not take the candy and even said earnestly, “Uncle Shopkeeper, it’s not easy to earn money. Sweets are also very expensive. Don’t give it to others casually.”
With that, Little Ah Yu lowered her head and took out a fruit from her pocket. She tiptoed and handed it to the shopkeeper.
“I’ll treat you to a fruit! I planted this myself. I didn’t spend any money. It’s fine for you to eat it.”
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment before he could not help but laugh again.
Originally, he felt a little tired from greeting the guests, but now, his exhaustion was all swept away.
No wonder everyone on the street liked Ah Yu. She was indeed a darling.
“Thank you, Ah Yu. Come in and take a look. What are you buying?” The shopkeeper thought that on account of this fruit, he would give her a discount on what she wanted to buy later.
As for the psychological trauma caused by the Wang family bargaining with him, it was all negligible.
Little Ah Yu placed her hands behind her back and looked around the shop like an old woman.
Everything in the shop was basically stored in baskets. There was also a board with all kinds of cloth bags of various sizes placed on it. The bags were filled with all kinds of beans.
Some were round, some were flat, some were long, some were short, and the colors were different.
It looked good.
Little Ah Yu craned her neck, wanting to recognize what kind of beans they were.
When Liu Shi was in the Yang Family Private School, she would teach the children to recognize things, including beans.
However, Little Ah Yu only recognized a few of them and not the rest.
“Elf, can we take these back and plant them?”
[A portion of them. Look, there are red beans over there, and beside them are little green beans. You can plant both beans.]
[Those are cowpeas over there, and beside them are french beans.]
[The smaller ones are peas from the wilderness. It’s the kind that your third brother gave you previously. They can be made into whistles. You also planted two in your spatial pocket. It’s edible, but it’s useless.]
[That rapeseed is fine. Their name is oil seeds. Buy it and optimize it. You can even squeeze them for oil in the future.]
As Meatball spoke, Little Ah Yu followed suit. After identifying them one after another, she nodded and shook her head.
The shopkeeper beside her was stunned.
“Ah Yu, what are you looking for? Tell Uncle, I’ll find it for you.”
Little Ah Yu stretched out her finger. “This, this…”
As she pointed, the shopkeeper looked over.
Little Ah Yu pointed at seven or eight types. The shopkeeper asked, “You want to buy these?”
“No.” Little Ah Yu shook her head. Then, she stretched out her small hand and opened it. She said, “Other than the ones I just named, I want all the remaining beans. Every kind. I want so many.”
The shopkeeper gasped. “Five catties? That’s a lot!”
Little Ah Yu shook her head again. “I want five.”
She didn’t have that much pocket money.
In an instant, the shopkeeper gasped even harder.
