Zhang Yun and several people drove the carriage all the way to the largest farmers' market in Kaifeng County. Now that it is just December, there are not many people buying New Year's goods, and the merchants are sitting at the door, and the stalls in front of them are all kinds of items.

In front of the shop selling chickens, ducks and fish, pots of processed feathered chickens, feathered ducks, and live fish huddled together are stacked at the door. Next to it, there are people who sell spices, meatballs, pots and pans, and groceries. Across the road, on the other side, there are those who sell snacks, fresh fruits, and oil shops that sell small grinding oil, sesame oil, sesame oil, and peanut oil.

Zhang Yun arrived at a shop selling chicken, stopped the car, and jumped off. Next to the shop is a mechanical scale, which is produced by the Wang family's workshop.

The hostess of the shop was defeathering the killed chickens, looked up and saw Zhang Yun, hurriedly stood up, and greeted with a smile: "Big sister, come and buy chickens?" Seeing the carriage behind Zhang Yun, the smile in the proprietress deepened, "I am a broiler, specially slaughtered to eat meat, not those laying hens with old meat stuffed teeth." Big sister come and see!"

The proprietress wiped her hands on her apron and turned sideways to let Zhang Yun pass.

Zhang Yun carefully avoided the place where there was water, and walked a few steps inside, only to see that the broiler chickens that had been slaughtered and slaughtered were stacked in the basin inside. Zhang Yun picked up one and took a look, the broiler was cleaned up cleanly, there was no broken hair left, the chicken was fat and thin, and it was big and firm.

"How much is this?" Zhang Yun lifted the chicken in his hand.

The proprietress said with a smile: "Originally, it was eight cents a catty, but the girl came early today, so I will give you an opening price, and swear, seven cents a catty." ”

That's a fair price.

"I bought more, the hostess cheaper. Zhang Yundao.

The proprietress hesitated, looked at Zhang Yun's carriage, and asked, "How much does the eldest sister plan to buy?"

"One or two hundred. ”

The proprietress lit up her eyes, thought for a moment, patted her thigh, and shouted, "Master!" A young man hurriedly ran out of the house.

The proprietress said: "Boss, this big sister wants to buy us 200 broilers." Look, let's press her six texts. ”

When the man heard this, there were two hundred! Although the price was low, he couldn't afford to buy more, so he nodded.

Liuwen is indeed very cheap, Zhang Yun nodded, and asked Sun Da and Sun Wang'er to carry the basket down.

The boss put the basket on the scale, and then put the packed chickens into it one by one.

"Big brother, your family's name is sold by the Wang family, right?" Zhang Yun asked.

The boss nodded: "Exactly, when I bought it, my house was still too expensive, and I didn't expect it to be so convenient." The thing is weighed on the top side. You don't have to lift something heavy like this, so you don't have to worry about it. ”

The proprietress glanced at her and said, "I'm too expensive, didn't I let you buy it." ”

The boss hurriedly smiled: "Yes, yes, or hello." ”

Zhang Yun was watching from the side, eating and laughing. The proprietress said embarrassedly: "Don't listen to him. ”

There were about 120 in one basket, so I had to take another basket. A total of 220 broiler chickens were counted, more than 700 catties, and it cost about five taels of silver.

The proprietress smiled, Zhang Yun, a customer, almost emptied the broiler in her store, and it seemed that she still had to buy it.

"The eldest sister buys so many chickens, doesn't she just eat them for herself?" asked the proprietress .

Zhang Yun said: "This is an annual gift for workers. There are not many people buying now, and the province is crowded. ”

"Oops, I just see that the big sister is not like an ordinary person, she is really a big boss. Your boss is really kind, and he is willing to buy good New Year's goods for his buddy. The proprietress complimented, she rolled her eyes, and asked, "Does the eldest sister have to buy something else?"

Zhang Yun nodded and said, "Exactly." You also have to buy some dry goods, sweets and snacks, etc. ”

The proprietress hurriedly said: "Big sister, I have a younger brother who is not a good person, and he is also here." He sells kelp, dried shrimp, and yuba, our things are really good, why don't you go and see them?"

There is nothing left or right in her store, she can rest today, Zhang Yun bought so many things from her, she enthusiastically acted as a guide.

Zhang Yun bought 1,000 catties of kelp, 1,000 catties of yuba, 1,000 catties of sugar, and 1,000 catties of fine salt. This one will cost more than thirty taels of silver! There is definitely no way to bring back so many things. However, the shopkeeper said that there were not enough goods in the store, and he had to go home to get them.

The shopkeeper asked where Zhang Yun's house was, and volunteered to deliver it to the door.

Zhang Yun said the location of Zhang's workshop: "When you arrive at Sunjiaji, just ask, almost everyone in the village knows it." ”

Negotiate now and deliver it to your door tomorrow. Zhang Yun gave half of the fixed money, and instructed the shopkeeper to take the scales and tools, so that the workers could be divided when the time came. The shopkeeper nodded in agreement.

sent Zhang Yun out, and the shopkeeper thanked his sister again and again.

His sister smiled: "Thank you, you are my brother, you don't want to know who you want if you have money to make." The shopkeeper was grateful, and gave his niece and nephew a big red envelope during the Chinese New Year.

The owner of the pork shop next to him saw Zhang Yun and greeted him with a smile on his face, he saw that Zhang Yun had bought so many things, he must be a big customer.

"Girl, look at it, these are all pigs collected from the village, and the grain and vegetables we eat are very good!"

"Uncle Stone?" Sun Da shouted from behind.

The boss looked at it for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "Dazi! Hey, uncle, I haven't seen you for two years, so you've grown so tall, good boy!" It turns out that this boss is from Sun Jiaji.

"This is the owner of the workshop in our village, Miss Zhang. Sun Dadao.

Sun Shishi looked at Zhang Yun in surprise and exclaimed: "Ah! Miss Zhang is a celebrity in our place! I have heard in the county that the boss of the old Zhang family in Shoushan Village has set up a workshop, and the people in both villages are working for you." ”

Zhang Yun smiled: "It's over!"

"Miss Zhang bought this thing for the workers for the New Year?"

Zhang Yun nodded.

"It turned out to be for the villagers, so I had to pick the best one for you. The price is also calculated according to the lowest. Sun Shishi's big fan-like hand waved.

"Thank you. ”

Zhang Yun bought 1,200 catties of pork and asked Sun Butcher to send it to the workshop tomorrow morning.

Next, Zhang Yun went to the grain store to buy a thousand catties of rice noodles. Then I bought cooking oil, snacks and sweets. It cost nearly one hundred taels of silver.

After a lot of shopping, several people drove back to Shoushan Village.

After putting the chicken and snacks and sweets in the empty house, and instructing the night watchman to pay attention at night, Zhang Yun turned out.

The workers in the workshop were sharp-eyed and knew that the owner was going to purchase the New Year's gift, so they were happy to guess when they saw these big cars. Although Zhang Yun is the owner, she is also a female doll in the village and a junior. Therefore, an extrovert asked, "Boss, what were those big cars you just had?"

She asked abruptly, but Zhang Yun didn't mind, and said with a smile: "Guess the aunt?"

Seeing Zhang Yun's face, how could there be anything he didn't understand? Hurriedly praised: "How could I guess? But it must be that the owner is sympathetic to us." ”

"Haha, auntie, wait, you'll know tomorrow. Zhang Yun walked out of the workshop with a smile.

As soon as Zhang Yun went out, the workers huddled together and chattered and discussed, and they were all happy. The middle-aged woman who asked said, "Look, I'm right. That's the New Year's gift for us. ”

"You can!" the good female companion stabbed her with her finger. Everyone laughed.

In the afternoon, when it was almost completed, the steward Chen Congshi came to give a notice.

"The owner said that everyone will come to receive the New Year's goods tomorrow morning. Rest in the afternoon and the day after tomorrow, and then work hard until the twentieth day of the lunar month, and go home for the New Year. ”

"Wow!" cheered. With Zhang Yu this year, life in the village is much better.

Zhang Yun is very busy at this time, and she is sitting at the village chief's house.

"Village chief, I will give a New Year's gift tomorrow in this workshop. Thanks to the help of the big guys in the past six months, I am even more grateful for the support of the village. I'm not rich yet, but I still want to do what I can. I know that there are several lonely families in the village, and some of them have elderly people, so I thought that I would give them some New Year's gifts tomorrow. I came to ask how many lonely families there are in the village, and how many elderly people are over 60 years old. ”

The village chief sighed when he heard it: "What a benevolent and righteous doll!" The village chief praised Zhang Yun, and there was also some self-satisfaction in his heart, if he hadn't taken in the family two years ago, the villagers in the village would not have had a better life now. It can be said that good causes are good and good results are obtained.

The village chief went back to the house and took out the population book, looked through it, handed it to Zhang Yun, and said: "There are four lonely and widowed households in the village, one is Li Laohan, one is the old and one young, one is Chen Cong's, a widow and a child, one is Chen Laohan, who is 57 years old, but has no wife and children, and his legs and feet are a little inconvenient; and the other is two old people, and his son died in battle. ”

"There are eleven people over the age of 60. The village chief said proudly. In ancient times, the average life expectancy of ordinary people was only more than 50, and it is very proud that there are so many 60-year-old elders in Shoushan Village.

Zhang Yun looked at it, just as the village chief said. She read the names of the people and matched them with the village chief. Make sure nothing went wrong and nothing was missed. He said, "Tomorrow's New Year's gift is not only for the workers, but also for these people." In addition to receiving the same annual gifts as the workers, these people also had some extra rice and noodles. Please ask the village chief to send someone to inform them that they will go to Zhang's workshop tomorrow to collect their things. ”

The village chief stroked his hands and laughed: "Medium!" He also has a seventy-year-old mother at home.

Zhang Yun was about to go back, and the village chief called out to her: "Can Yun girl go to Sunjiaji?"

Zhang Yun shook his head, not understanding what the village chief meant.

"Uncle is also so talkative, just listen to it. Our workshop is also built at the junction of two villages, and there are many Sun Jiaji working here, if they are also recorded for the orphans and widows in their village, it may be better. ”

So it sees, it seems that the ancient people still have to experience more experience.

"Thank you to the village chief for reminding me that Zhang Yun is young and thinks too little. "If the Sun Jiaji workers in the workshop are not satisfied because of a little New Year's gift, it will be too worthless. "I'll go to Sunjiaji to have a look. ”

The village chief stroked his beard and smiled, this girl is sensible. (To be continued.) )
