Мне нужно объяснение поздрава:
Здрасьте вам, будем сватам
из- полагаю адаптированного - текста Бунина:
“Здрасьте вам, будем сватам”. Ну, проходите, чем можем примем, рады вас, вот..ну мы пришли вот с товаром, у нас мануфактурка. Может, ярочка поменяется, может, поросеночек есть у вас – свинушечку нам надо. Ну, а у нас вот, видишь? А может, рукодельница есть у вас? Она б нам мануфактурку сшила б, связала б. Мы - “есть рукодельница у нас, есть!"
