Chapter 22 Arrived at the vegetable market
Ergouzi was also angry, he angrily pushed Yuan Shi and roared: "You don't know how to stop a little if you get into trouble all day long." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The more noisy the mother and son became, the more inseparable they became, and the rest of the village was happy to watch the joke.
Xia Qinghe squatted next to the back basket and held his face to see when Xiao Chu would come back, and Zhu Xiaochang was also quiet and squatted next to Xia Qinghe.
Xiao Chu's speed was very fast, Rao was so waiting, and the few people in front of him crossed the river, and the sky was bright.
As soon as Xia Qinghe and Zhu Xiaochang got on the boat, Xiao Chu frowned and said, "Didn't you say to get up early last night?"
He got up early in the morning and wanted to be the first to send Xia Qinghe across the river, but he didn't want Xia Qinghe to arrive last.
Zhu Xiaochang lowered his head guiltily and said in a low voice: "It's ...... me who can't get up." ”
Xia Qinghe didn't mean to complain about Zhu Xiaochang, Zhu Xiaochang was taken care of by Mrs. Han in the past, he was afraid of melting in his mouth, and he was afraid of falling when he held it in his hand, and he never let Zhu Xiaochang do things at home, and he slept until he woke up naturally every day.
She can't get used to Zhu Xiaochang like Mrs. Han, she has to teach Zhu Xiaochang to take care of herself.
"Don't blame yourself, it's the first time I've been to the market, and this time it's all about pathfinding. She smiled and looked at Zhu Xiaochang comfortingly.
Xiao Chu looked at the sky and frowned: "It's not early, I'll send you to the market, the boat quickly estimated that you arrived before the people in the village." ”
Xia Qinghe was overjoyed, but immediately shook his head and refused: "I don't have so much money for you, there are only a dozen copper plates left, and I don't know if these things can be sold." She glanced at the contents of the basket sadly, although these were all treasures in her eyes, but these could be obtained by others with a little care, and she really had no bottom in her heart.
Xiao Chu glanced at Xia Qinghe lightly and propped up his boat.
Although it was against the current, the boat was much faster than walking, and there weren't many people along the way to the town.
The town is not very big, there are only two streets, and the vegetable market that sells things and trades is at the end of the street, and most of the people walking on the street are people like her with backpacks, Xia Qinghe didn't have the heart to look at the shops on both sides of the street, and all he wanted was to go to the vegetable market.
Fortunately, Zhu Xiaochang had followed Mrs. Han to the vegetable market before, so it was not troublesome to find the way.
There are not many people in the vegetable market, most of them are putting their things on the table, Xia Qinghe chose a better position and hurriedly took out the things in the back basket.
She found a small mat made of reeds in the firewood room of the Zhu family, which was just right to use to set up a stall at the moment, Zhu Xiaochang was at a loss and didn't know what to do, so she could only watch Xia Qinghe put things away.
The orchids were placed on the ground on the very edge, and then the yams were neatly placed next to each other, and the cloth bag was opened to reveal the fungus inside, and she was not going to take out the herbs, those were to be sold to the drugstore, especially the one Dendrobium officinale, she thought that there were a lot of Dendrobium officinale before, but she didn't find another one after looking for two days, and she felt more and more that it was her luck.
When she set up the market, the number of people gradually increased, and she also had time to look around, the vegetable market really had everything, selling vegetables, chickens and ducks, selling some strange things she didn't know, and most of them were selling sweet potatoes.
And after looking around, she didn't see anyone selling jelly! she felt that the jelly business could definitely be done.
Next to her was an old woman selling sweet potatoes, the woman was kind and talkative, no, she pulled Xia Qinghe and began to chat.
Xia Qinghe wanted to know more about things, and couldn't wait to tell the old woman more useful things, the old woman's face was full of vicissitudes.
"Life is getting worse and worse, I heard that the mountain village has encountered bandits before, and the villagers are panicking. The old woman let out a long sigh, and finally asked Xia Qinghe: "Where is the girl from?"
Xia Qinghe didn't know how to answer, thinking about how she was really declining, and she had encountered any bad things, and her luck was really not ordinarily bad.
She said a little helplessly: "I am a person from the mountain village. ”
The old woman looked at Xia Qinghe even more distressedly, and wanted to say something but didn't say anything, and said regretfully: "I heard that many people have died in the village, and many girls have been robbed, which is also a crime, and there is only one way out for those girls to be robbed." ”
Xia Qinghe heard what the Chu family said, knowing that most of the girls in the village would be sold to Goolan Courtyard if they were robbed, what kind of place was that!
In the past, she has always longed for the ancient life, feeling that everything is primitive, if it is good in peacetime, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there is peace everywhere, but in the face of war and chaos, not to mention lack of food and clothing, displacement, and death at any time, especially women, the only thing she can do is to learn to protect herself.
Although Zhu Dongmei and Zhu Chunhua were a little annoying, they were the first people she met when she came here, and she felt uncomfortable thinking of their fate.
The old woman was also interested, and seeing that Xia Qinghe's eyes were a little confused, she patted the back of Xia Qinghe's hand and said, "If the girl needs any help, you can come to Shuiguan Village to find me, as soon as you say that Deng Pozi, everyone knows me." ”
Xia Qinghe thanked him and guarded his stall with peace of mind, there were more people in the market, and all the people I saw before were villagers wearing cloth clothes or patched clothes, and with more people, everyone could really see it.
The Chu family and the Yang family carried the back basket on their backs, and they searched around but did not find a suitable position, but when they saw Xia Qinghe choose the best place, Chu quickly stepped forward with the back basket in his heart.
Xia Qinghe only sold a pound of yam for five yuan, and as soon as he looked up, he looked at Chu Shi and looked at her with a smile.
"Qinghe, can you move a little place for me?" asked the Chu clan flatteringly, they were already a little late when they came here, and if they couldn't find a place to sell things, they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to sell them.
I didn't have much disgust with Chu's Xia Qinghe, she happened to buy a yam, she tidied up the side, just vacated a small space, and Chu put down her back basket.
The Yang family saw that Xia Qinghe had really made room for the Chu family, and he was a little jealous in his heart.
But she was not familiar with Xia Qinghe, so she sighed and could only go to a remote corner to find a place to put down, but her eyes were always aimed at Xia Qinghe's side.
In modern times, Xia Qinghe is just a member of the general public, not outstanding but not mediocre, but there are really few people who can compare to her, because the family is poor and not very rich, so she thinks of ways to make money, set up stalls, work in restaurants, distribute flyers, as long as she can do it, she has done it.
The orchid on the side didn't ask, but there were many people who asked about the yam, but because the price given was less, she directly refused, and it was not easy to dig up the yam, especially the wild yam, which was better than sweet potatoes, and the nutritional value was also high, she was really reluctant to sell it cheaply.
