Chapter 69: Cucumbers

Li Congwen rushed over early the next morning, and now the hot dishes in summer can't be overnight, so today's guests can only go to the town early to buy fresh ingredients. Last night, Li Yuxin knew that Li Yuqing was going to the town to buy ingredients, and made a special statement asking her to buy more pigs to go into the water.

Li Yuqing happily agreed, promising that she would buy a lot for her to eat, Li Yuxin rolled on the bed happily, and even took Li Minghao to move, tossing for a long time before being able to rest.

In the morning, before dawn, I drove to the town early, and the vegetable farmer who sold vegetables had just set up his stall, and Li Yuqing had just arrived at the market, so he got off the ox cart and walked on foot in the market. I hope to find something strange that I am familiar with.

Li Congwen drove behind Li Yuqing, there were a lot of people coming and going, Li Yuqing didn't wait for a while, after waiting for a long time, Li Yuqing was a little impatient, he had to use it at noon to buy vegetables, if he kept going like this, he couldn't buy it at noon and go home, there was no way but to park the carriage in the open space, so that he could go shopping unscrupulously.

Taking advantage of the time to wait again, Li Yuqing thought of asking Li Congwen to drive the carriage to the alley where the carriage was specially parked in Fumanlou, and let him sit there and wait for her. In this way, she can go shopping, and if she buys more, she can also have someone send it over, which is convenient and fast.

Finally, Li Congwen avoided the crowded passers-by and led the ox cart over, Li Yuqing saw Li Congwen who was sweating profusely and said, "Judging from the text, it is inconvenient for you to lead the ox cart in the market, otherwise go to Fumanlou and wait for me, the place is spacious, and I will find you later." ”

"Sister Yuqing, don't be so troublesome, I'll hurry up and won't delay your time," Li Congwen explained for fear that Li Yuqing would dislike him for being too slow.

"I still want to go inside to see if there are any rare things, and you don't know that I haven't visited this market properly, and I want to visit it this morning," he said, pointing to the obviously more crowded streets inside.

Looking in the direction pointed by Li Yuqing, there were dense crowds, and each stall was full of people, thinking about the large area of his ox cart, Li Congwen, who originally wanted to say something, lowered his head and closed his mouth and didn't say anything more.

The streets were full of people, the shouts of the hawkers were endless, and after a while, many people were blocked behind Li Congwen's carriage, and some of the bad-tempered ones were there scolding, and there was no way Although they were also curious and wanted to go inside, they knew the main purpose of coming this morning.

Li Congwen looked at the people piled up behind him, and reluctantly said goodbye to Li Yuqing: "Sister Yuqing, then you go and get busy, I'll drive the car to Fumanlou and talk to Shopkeeper Yao to come back to you again." ”

Li Yuqing was very happy to see that Li Congwen was willing to go, and she had no opinion that he came to find her, anyway, she had a lot of things to buy, and if he was willing to come over to help carry things, she could be more relaxed, "Okay, you go and come back quickly." I'm just walking around here, and if I can't find it, I'll go inside. ”

Li Congwen nodded yes, said goodbye to Li Yuqing, led the ox cart and walked forward for a while, turned into an alley and disappeared into the crowd.

Sending Li Congwen away, Li Yuqing took a deep breath, she has been coming to the town for so long, but she has never been to the market to sell vegetables or anything like that, at most she bought some cloth and pastries at the entrance of the market, so Li Yuqing decided to go around more and buy some strange things if she found them.

After walking a little inside, Li Yuqing found nothing except for the crowding, the hot sweaty touched the sweat towel and wiped the sweat, Li Yuqing decided to walk a little longer, if there was still no harvest, turn around and go back, buy some seasonal vegetables and buy some meat and go home.

After walking for a while, there were obviously not as many people in the back as there were in front, so it can be seen that Li Yuqing was completely disappointed that it had basically come to an end. I was a little depressed, and this time my plan fell through. With his head down, he finished walking listlessly with no distance left, and when he turned around and walked back, he saw an old lady on the stall with something very familiar, Li Yuqing seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and suddenly came to his senses.

Walked over quickly to take a look, and immediately smiled, "Auntie, what is this" Li Yuqing pointed to something on the ground and asked.

When the old lady saw that someone finally came to ask, she was a little excited, "Don't hide what the girl said, I don't know what this is." But when I saw that it was green like a fruit, I called it a cucumber. ”

looked at Li Yuqing's expression, afraid that Li Yuqing would misunderstand her things that were not selling well, and then explained: "The seeds I brought from outside last year were planted this year." I didn't know what I didn't dare to eat, but a few days ago my grandson secretly picked one and ate it, and I was scared and quickly took him to the hospital, and the doctor said it was okay. When my grandson came home, he yelled that he wanted to eat, and he had no choice but to follow him. ”

After a pause, he was a little embarrassed and said, "I'm curious to see that my grandson is okay to eat, so I ate one and tasted it, the entrance is crisp, the more I eat, the more delicious it is. ”

Li Yuqing realized that she didn't know what this thing was called, but it could also be called a cucumber, in fact, this cucumber was the cucumber that Li Yuqing ate in modern times. Cucumbers can be eaten both as fruits and stir-fried as vegetables, and have high nutritional value.

Looking at the pile of neatly stacked cucumbers, Li Yuqing had an idea, and said to the old lady who was sitting there looking at Li Yuqing with a nervous face: "Auntie, you still have this thing at home." ”

When the old lady heard Li Yuqing ask like this, her face flushed with excitement, and she replied again and again, "Yes, yes"

Li Yuqing was even happier when she heard it, "Then how much more, I want it, the price is negotiable." ”

"Really," the old lady asked with a look of disbelief.

"Really, how many are there in your house, not far away? Li Yuqing couldn't wait to know how many cucumbers there were, so that she could make a lot of money by buying them and selling them to Fumanlou.

The old lady was a little dumbfounded, she didn't expect Li Yuqing to be so impatient, seeing that Li Yuqing was white and pure and not like a wicked person, she thought about how far away her home was, if Li Yuqing really wanted it, she could also improve her life recently.

Finally made up her mind: "If the girl really wants it, go home with me, my house is nearby, not far away, and you can reach it through the front alley." Seeing Li Yuqing's determined face, she packed the cucumbers on the ground as she spoke.

Seeing her like this, Li Yuqing also stepped forward and squatted down to help her sort out the cucumbers on the ground, and she didn't have to worry about the old lady after tidying up, she wrapped them up intimately and tied them on her arm, and helped the old lady to her house.

Walking through the long alley, I walked out and suddenly opened up in front of me. The market area is a bit large, so the old lady's house is next to the suburbs, and it didn't take long to stop by a small fenced courtyard.

The old lady pushed open the fence and beckoned this Li Yuqing to walk in, as soon as she entered, she saw a few cucumber vines coiled on the fence, Li Yuqing was lost for a while, she thought that there were a lot of them, so that she could make a good profit, now I see that this point is not enough for the amount of Fumanlou for a day, I think it is also, it is good to have these cucumber vines here, but I am too demanding.

He took a deep breath and said to the old lady, "Auntie, are there only a few of them, then help me see if I can use them, I'll give you the money first, and I'll find a car to pull it later." ”

The old lady didn't know what Li Yuqing was thinking, she didn't seem to be very happy when she entered the house and saw these cucumber vines, didn't she say that it would be a lot, and she didn't know if he wanted it in her backyard, so she asked tentatively, "Do you want this, do you want it in my backyard?"
