CHAPTER XXIV

Two sea cars came, one to the town and the other to the county seat. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The fare also varies, to the town is one penny per person, and to Sushui County, it is three pennies per person.

Jiang Huijia and Song Dalang got into the car until the county seat together, paid nine cents for the fare, and then sat on both sides. Speaking of which, in a farmhouse where a penny is eager to be broken into a two-petaled flower, nine pennies is really a lot, and you can buy eighteen eggs! It is no wonder that before this, Zhang had to ask Jiang Huijia whether he could take a car.

Qingshan Village is a village with convenient transportation between ten miles and eight villages, not too far from the county seat, with a total of 30 miles of roads. If you are walking, you will have to walk for an hour if you are fast, but you can change to a car, and half an hour will be enough.

The mule cart walked all the way, and Zhang sat on the car, looking a little uncontrollable. But there were not only the three of them in the car, there were also a few other faces, so Zhang didn't dare to talk much, so he only chatted with Jiang Huijia in a low voice: "Third brother and sister, where are we going to find the place to sell four-wheeled vehicles when we enter the city?"

Jiang Huijia shook her head slightly and said, "You always have to find out what you know, sister-in-law don't worry." ”

She occasionally lifted the curtain to look at the roadside scene, although the scenery along the way was monotonous, most of them were just farmland ponds, or rural houses, but the rural scenery, out of nature, is still a little interesting to Jiang Huijia, a person who is used to seeing reinforced concrete in her previous life.

Half an hour passed, and a small city rose up at the end of the official road, and only the door of the city wall was seen from afar, and everything was complete. There was already a long queue at the gate of the city, and it turned out that there was a charge to enter the city!

The driver of the car shouted in front: "One penny a penny! Count the heads, the money will come to me, and I will pay it together!"

Zhang inhaled and staggered: "This still has to be paid!"

Song Dalang looked at her, and Zhang was busy lowering his head and shutting up. Jiang Huijia counted out the three cents from the change bag, everyone paid the money, and the mule cart pulled a cart of people straight into the north city gate. After a short drive, the mule cart turned left and entered a large field surrounded by a courtyard, where many cars had been parked in the open space, and people came and went, and it was very noisy.

The coachman beckoned everyone to get out of the car and said loudly: "Everyone is still going here on the way back, remember the name, it is the big car shop at the north gate of the Running Sea Gang!

It is five o'clock in the afternoon.

The car was sent out at seven o'clock in the morning, and it could arrive at the county seat in half an hour, and the return time was set at five o'clock in the afternoon, which means that Jiang Huijia and the three of them could have a whole day's time to shop in the county. Zhang's eyes sparkled as he listened, and Song Dalang also looked happy and rubbed his hands frequently.

Zhang hurriedly said: "Third brother and sister, let's go?"

Jiang Huijia waved her hand, but took a step forward and asked the coachman: "By asking the eldest brother, I don't know how to go to this nearest carpentry shop?"

"Wood shop?" the coachman glanced at Jiang Huijia and said with a smile, "This lady wants to buy furniture, big or small?"

The word "lady" is the same as the meaning of "girl" in the later years, and it is not only used when the husband calls his wife.

Jiang Huijia has a beautiful face, clear and square, and looks different from ordinary country women. If Zhang asks here, people may call him a lady, or a sister-in-law, but when she arrives at Jiang Huijia, when others see her appearance, the "eldest sister-in-law" who seems to be able to call people a little old-fashioned will not be able to call her out.

Jiang Huijia didn't hide it, but said: "The thing I want to buy is called a four-wheeled vehicle, which is for people with reduced mobility, and I don't know where to sell it." Big brother runs all over the world and is well-informed, I don't know if I can give me some advice?"

The driver smiled: "Where can I be called well-informed, I don't know this four-wheeled vehicle." I think it's a strange thing, and if the little lady wants to find this strange thing, it's best to go to the West Market. There are several shops on Qianlou Street that like to sell strange things, so the little lady might as well ask. ”

Jiang Huijia thanked the coachman, and asked how to get to Qianlou Street, before walking out of the big car shop with Zhang and Song Dalang.

Sushui City is very prosperous, Zhang and Song Dalang are countrymen who have entered the city, and they are surprised and happy to see everything, while Jiang Huijia is purely with the mentality of appreciating the ancient market, and he also has a lot of novelty and likes it.

Coming out of the big car shop, the three of them went up to Chengmen Street again, and walked to the West Market after a while.

Before Qianlou Street arrived, there were more stalls and vendors along the road. There was a lot of daylight time to go around, and Jiang Huijia was not in a hurry, so she slowed down and walked around the roadside stalls.

Zhang and Song Dalang are also not in a hurry, Zhang likes to visit these stalls more than Jiang Huijia, and a pair of eyes look left and right, and they can't wait to grow up to the roadside stalls.

Jiang Huijia also held the mentality of understanding prices, and inquired about prices at roadside stalls from time to time. When she walked past the third stall selling steamed buns, she bought three vegetarian steamed buns for three yuan and three big white steamed buns for two yuan. The steamed buns were divided equally among the three people, and Zhang and Song Dalang each took their share, and Zhang said to Song Dalang at the moment: "Boss, let's take back the vegetable buns and leave them for the whole son to eat." ”

Song Dalang handed his vegetable bun to Zhang.

Zhang wrapped the steamed buns with the clean leaves presented by the steamed bun seller and put them in the basket behind his back, and then broke off half of his steamed buns and handed them to Song Dalang: "You eat more, I can eat half of it." ”

There are one or two of these steamed buns, and they are actually quite big when they start, Jiang Huijia doesn't know if Zhang's is really half full, but as far as her own words are concerned, it is indeed enough to eat half of it.

However, she knows the amount of food her own kittens, and she can't compare it with a woman like Zhang's who is used to doing farm work, Zhang's so-called "half full", most of which is intentionally saved to fill Song Dalang's. Song Dalang pushed it at the moment, and the Zhang family let it go again, and the two of them let it go, Jiang Huijia saw it in her eyes and sighed slightly in her heart.

But Jiang Huijia didn't mean to give more steamed buns to the two of them, she stood aside, finished the vegetable buns in small bites, picked up another steamed bun wrapped in leaves in one hand, took two small steps, and walked around the stall next to her.

There is a small stall next to the steamed bun stall that specializes in buying all kinds of bamboo products, including small pieces such as bamboo boxes, bamboo baskets, bamboo back baskets, and large pieces such as bamboo flats, bamboo rows, bamboo screens, etc.

Jiang Huijia took a fancy to a small bamboo basket with exquisite workmanship, but saw that the bamboo basket was no more than a foot long and about half a foot wide, made into the shape of a boat, with wheat ears braided on it, and the handle was carefully wrapped in light cyan cotton cloth, and a small dark cyan floral cloth was placed on the bottom of the basket. She immediately stepped forward to ask the price, and the stall owner was a young man, and said with a smile: "I brought a piece of cloth, so I want more." For five cents, you can take it if you like. ”

Five cents, Jiang Huijia felt that it was not expensive, so she did not make a counteroffer. I immediately paid for it, and put the leaf bag in my hand into the basket, and the basket was carried in my hand, and I immediately felt that it was lightweight, beautiful, and very convenient.

Song Dalang and his wife, who had pushed each other, turned around, and immediately saw Jiang Huijia with an extra basket in his hand.

Zhang: "......"

Song Dalang: "......"

When we showed our love as husband and wife, you went shopping?

If it's silent, you buy it?

The dazed couple had the same expression, Jiang Huijia pursed her lips slightly and smiled.
