CHAPTER XVIII

"It's so weird. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Ren Lao shook his head incomprehensibly, and while looking up and down, Meng Yao couldn't wait to hide the girl for him to study: "Little girl, have you eaten anything strange recently?" ”

"No, my brother and I eat the same things." Meng Yao knew that this was the credit of Lingquan Shui, but it was impossible for her to tell others about this kind of thing.

Meng Qingxuan vaguely knew that it might have something to do with that place, so he helped cover up: "The food at home is all prepared by me, and these days are the same as usual, there is nothing special." ”

"It's so weird." Old man Ren couldn't figure it out, so he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, it's a good thing that the little girl is better, you children go ahead and play with your brother Baizhu." The old man and your father have two plates. "The old man is a chess idiot, his chess skills are not very good and his temper is poor, others are unwilling to play with him, and he relies on Meng Yuan to play chess every time.

Meng Qingxuan and the others didn't dare to have an opinion, and they also knew that their father and the old man would not stop playing chess for an hour or two, thinking of the things they were carrying: "Dad, Brother Baizhu is busy, I'll take my sister and Xiaozhu out for a walk, and I'll come back to you later." “

"Then you have to pay attention to Tuan Tuan and Xiaozhu, don't get lost." Meng Yuan was relieved of his son, and took out a hundred wen from the money bag, and his daughter's health was good, so he didn't need to spend money on medicine: "Don't save what you want to eat with money." “

"Got it." Meng Qingxuan was also polite, he didn't have a penny on him.

Meng Qingxuan took Meng Yao and An Zhu to the bazaar first, the bazaar was not very far from Ren Lao's hospital, and it was the most lively time at this time, the stalls were arranged in an orderly manner, and the men, women and children came and went lively, shouting and bargaining, which made Meng Yao dizzy. She hadn't experienced such a lively scene for a long time, and immediately excitedly pulled An Zhu to walk around one stall after another.

At this time, the price of goods still sounds quite cheap, common vegetables such as green vegetables and radishes are a pound, meat-filled buns are two pennies, vegetarian stuffing is a penny or two, and steamed buns are two pennies, of course, not white noodles. But now there are fewer vegetables at this time, only some late beans, green vegetables, radishes, cabbage and the like, Meng Yao also noticed that there is only one stall selling pork, and the business is still good, so the meat on the stall is almost sold out, the fat and pork belly are more expensive, generally 14 to 15 yuan, and the lean meat is cheap, 11 to 12 yuan. At this time, people have little oil and water, and they like to buy fatty meat, they think it is fragrant, Meng Yao doesn't like it very much, the fat is too greasy, Meng Yao also paid special attention to the pig water that the predecessors focused on, and then found that sure enough, the novel comes from life and is higher than life, this pig is something that no one eats, although it is cheaper than meat, but a whole pair of pigs is almost eight yuan, and the big bones are cheap, and the meat is basically shaved on it, and two pennies can be rounded. The meat on it is a little more expensive, a penny a penny, of course, there will not be a lot of meat, just like that, there are also poor people who are willing to buy it, so there is a taste of meat, Meng Yao is very happy to let Meng Qingxuan wrap the big bones round, she likes to drink soup, the big bone broth is nutritious and delicious, and the most important thing is that it is cheap, and the most important thing is that she even thinks that her brother is not a little shorter than other people's ten-year-old children.

There seemed to be very few people selling wild things in the bazaar, just turned around like this, and didn't see anyone selling wild things, Meng Yao was a little puzzled, Meng Qingxuan also seemed to pay attention to this phenomenon, both of them were a little helpless, they were originally counting on selling wild things for some money, but now it doesn't seem to work.

Meng Yao looked at the shop selling steamed buns, and even Meng Qingxuan broke out in a cold sweat with that look: "Tuan Tuan wants to eat steamed buns." “

The young man who sold steamed buns noticed the little girl's stunned gaze and greeted him warmly: "Little girl, come to a steamed bun, my steamed buns are famous throughout West Street, with thin skin and many fillings, and they are the most delicious." “

"Little brother, your buns are so fragrant, but my brother sold the rabbit to buy me buns." Meng Yao looked at the little guy with a milky voice, and said pitifully.

The young man saw the basket Meng Qingxuan was carrying, and he saw that this family was not very well dressed, and it was estimated that he was lucky to catch the game and was reluctant to eat it, so he sold it for some other supplies. The young man is very good-hearted, and his mouth is neat, and he kindly reminded: "Little girl, this is the right person, this wild thing can't be sold in this bazaar, you either go directly to the restaurant to ask, or go to the front of Zhenwei Zhai, his family has received these game vegetables and the like and sent them to the restaurant, but the price is cheaper." You don't have a lot of things, so let's go to Zhenwei Zhai and have a look. ”

Meng Yao listened and pulled Meng Qingxuan to thank him repeatedly: "Little brother, when my brother sells rabbits, I will come to your house to eat steamed buns." ”

"Okay, welcome to the little girl again."

Meng Qingxuan and the three of them hurriedly went to find the Zhenwei Zhai, this Zhenwei Zhai had to walk a little way out of the market, fortunately, the signboard was big, and they inquired all the way to find it, and when the three of them arrived, a young man was entertaining the guests, and saw Meng Qingxuan and the three of them walked in with a basket on their backs and smiled and asked them to wait, I have to say that the service attitude is very good.

When the guest left, the young man stepped forward and said, "Little brother, what is this to sell, we will collect everything from Zhenwei Zhai, your own vegetables, feed livestock, wild animals, and ensure a fair price." ”

"Caught some wild things from the mountains, look at them." Meng Qingxuan carefully put down the back basket and lifted the cloth covering it, revealing the two pheasants and two rabbits in the basket.

"Little brother is lucky, this pheasant and rabbit are quite fat." The young man's eyes lit up, this game was fat and strong, and the most important thing was that it was alive. "You wild things are all alive, the price can be more expensive, the price of rabbits and pheasants is the same, give you thirteen wen a catty."

Meng Qingxuan's eyes flashed, if it was sold in bulk, it should be able to sell for fifteen wen a catty, but it would save a lot of trouble to sell it to Zhenwei Zhai: "How do you harvest this vegetable." ”

"Two pounds for a penny." The young man quickly quoted the price.

Sure enough, Zhenwei Zhai is much cheaper than outside, but people also have to make some hard money: "You can't collect wild vegetables." ”

The little man smiled: "Little brother said that it was funny, most of the wild vegetables at this time are old, and no one wants to collect them." ”

"We picked some wild vegetables on the mountain, and we guarantee that they are still fresh and tender, little second brother, do you want to take a look?" Meng Qingxuan was still very confident in the things in that place, and besides, he had already eaten them first, and those wild vegetables were even more tender than those dug in spring.

Meng Qingxuan took out a cloth bag from the back basket, which contained a little wild vegetables, shepherd's cabbage, mother-in-law, and bitter herbs. The young man's eyes were sharp, and he could see that these wild vegetables were indeed still tender: "If spring is nothing, now it is a rare thing to be so tender at this time." Two pennies a pound, if the little brother digs up such a thing next time and continues to send it over, we will accept it. “

"The rabbits and pheasants together are thirty-two catties and eight taels and you are thirty-three catties and four hundred and twenty-nine wen, and those wild vegetables are counted as three catties and six wen, a total of four hundred and thirty-five wen, little brother, you can count them clearly." Meng Qingxuan nodded, thanked the young man, turned around, and secretly handed the young man ten cents as a tip.

Ten cents is not much, but it is not too little, the little guy took it into his arms very calmly, and the smile on his face became a little more sincere: "Little brother, next time something good is delivered, I will give you the fairest price." ”

Meng Yao was very impressed when she saw it, her brother's brain was really flexible and comprehensive, and he thought about many things more than her.

"I can't imagine that this pheasant and rabbit are so valuable, hey, I can't imagine that I have eaten so much money in the past two days." An Zhu exclaimed, in just a moment, more than 400 wen was in hand, although he was envious but not jealous. "It's a pity that I don't have Brother Xuan's ability, otherwise I would have been able to make some money."

It's really easy, it looks like her father earns more than half a month, and she still has no business, it seems that she will have to make more use of space in the future, so that his father can stay at home with peace of mind.

"Let's go, I've earned some money, please eat." Meng Qingxuan's face was also much lighter, he used to have a hard time, and he always had to rely on Uncle An's family for relief, although he didn't earn much now, but the family's chewing was not worried. This is all the credit of my sister, and I don't know if this will damage my sister's blessings, thinking of this, I feel more and more sorry for Meng Yao in my heart.

"Eat buns." Meng Yao was still thinking about agreeing to the fact that the young man made money to eat steamed buns.

"Brother Xuan, I want to eat that chicken soup wonton, I smell the old fragrance." An Zhu is also drooling.

"Okay, eat everything you want." With money in his hand, Meng Qingxuan also agreed heroically, and when he was rich, he was not vain.
