Chapter 183: Buying Chicken Seedlings
Liu He listened to her words, and tears couldn't help but appear in his eyes, "Thank you Xuan'er." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info "She didn't know what to say except thanks.
When she arrived in the town, Liu Huaxuan put her down and said with a smile: "Third aunt, you will wait for me here after you finish buying things in a while."
"Okay, Xuan'er, I remember. Then I'll go first. After a period of talking, Liu He was not so nervous and inferior, this tone was smiling, and it was obvious that she had let go of it a lot.
After Liu He left, Liu Huaxuan asked Zhang Houde to catch the car. It's afternoon, and there aren't as many stalls on the street as they were in the morning.
Liu Huaxuan asked Zhang Houde to stop the carriage, and he got out of the carriage. Walking along this street, looking at the stall owners who were constantly shouting, Liu Huaxuan did not stop. And Zhang Houde silently led the horse behind him.
As soon as he walked a short distance, he saw an old man with a wrinkled face sitting on a small stool, wearing a linen dress that had been washed white and had been patched with a lot of pudding.
In front of him were three cages of skinny chicks, and two cages of ducklings with water, all of which were barking incessantly, and it was obvious that they were hungry.
The old man looked at the chicks and ducklings who kept screaming and whispered, "Little ones, bear with me, and soon you will have something to eat." There was not a hint of unbearability in his tone.
He couldn't give them anything to eat, because there was no food left in the house.
Although his voice is small, Liu Huaxuan is a person with profound skills, and of course these words can't escape her ears.
These passers-by walked past him, and some passers-by, even if they wanted to buy chicken seedlings, did not stop in front of the old man, but stopped in front of the woman who also had chicken seedlings beside the old man. There was not much reason for this, because the old man's chicks appeared very thin and lacked vitality. And the stall owner next to him has very strong chicks. In comparison, where would those people choose the old man's chicks.
Just when the old man was a little lost, Liu Huaxuan came to him, "Uncle, how do you buy these chicken and duck seedlings?" ”
The old man raised his head as soon as he heard this, and his cloudy eyes were full of joy, "Girl, my chicken seedlings and duck seedlings are a little thin, others have chicken seedlings for five cents each, duck seedlings for four cents each, and mine for chicken seedlings for three cents and two cents for one." But, girl, I don't know if I can feed them all or not, do you want to buy it? ”
Liu Huaxuan smiled faintly and said, "It doesn't matter, how many do you have here?"
When the old man heard this, he smiled and said, "Girl, there are thirty of these chicken seedlings and twenty duck seedlings."
"Uncle, I want these chicken seedlings and duck seedlings according to the original price."
"No, girl, I don't know if you can feed all these little things, and I can't accept the ones I bought for you at the original price." The old man said very seriously.
Looking at him as honest as he was, Liu Huaxuan sighed. These should be taking advantage of him, because there is spiritual spring water, and there is nothing that cannot be raised. So she can't let him, who is so difficult and still retains that rare and honest old man, suffer.
"Uncle, you can rest assured, I have a way to feed them all."
The old man was overjoyed when he heard this, then these little things don't have to die, "Girl, the original price is not needed, then you can give the chick seedlings four cents for one, and the duckling sprouts for three cents, you see~ How about this?" The old man said, a little hesitant in his words.
Liu Huaxuan nodded with a smile when she heard this, and when she took out her purse and was about to pay, the woman next to her screamed at her: "This little girl, you see, the old man's chicken and duck seedlings are all thin and don't stretch their muscles, and they won't survive if they are bought back." You might as well come and buy my chicks, you see, my chicks are strong, I promise to live 10% of them when you buy them back. ”
Liu Huaxuan didn't look at her, and took out one hundred and eighty Wen from the purse and handed it to the old man. The old man trembled and stretched out his calloused hands to take the copper plate.
The sharp woman next to him saw that Liu Huaxuan ignored him, so she also glared at them dissatisfiedly and sat down.
After the old man took the copper coin, he handed the cages of chicks to Liu Huaxuan, and Zhang Houde, who was beside Liu Huaxuan, took it. The old man then took out the water from the cage in which the ducklings were kept, fearing that it would wet the carriage.
After taking out the small water tray, the old man also handed over the two cages of duckling seedlings, and Zhang Houde also took them and hung them on the carriage.
Liu Huaxuan looked at it and asked Zhang Houde to put the chick and duckling into the carriage.
Then, Liu Huaxuan also walked up, and Zhang Houde also sat up to catch the car.
Among them, Liu Huaxuan bought some rice grain and some daily necessities. Then he bought a small clay man and some snacks for Yu'er, afraid that Ye would be bored because he had nothing to do at home. Liu Huaxuan bought some embroidered handkerchiefs and a few different colors of silk for Ye, which allowed Ye not to be too bored, and secondly, he also had new clothes to wear, which killed two birds with one stone.
This long-term needlework is not good for the eyes, but Liu Huaxuan is not afraid of this. Because his family's body and five senses have been restored and improved after drinking spiritual spring water for a long time. So she wasn't afraid that this Ye would hurt her eyes by doing too much needlework.
After that, she also bought two sets of brocade clothes for Miao and Zhang Houde. Zhang Houde, who was present, didn't want to live or die, because he was a slave who was treated so well by her, and he was already very guilty. Now the master spends money to buy clothes for himself, of course he doesn't accept it.
In the end, Liu Huaxuan thought that if he had lost it, he asked him to put away his clothes.
After that, Liu Huaxuan bought two roast chickens that were already roasted, cut two catties of meat and went back.
When I arrived at the place where I knew what Liu He said before, I saw that Liu He was already waiting there.
She had come to town to hand over her embroidered handkerchief and purse and get some money.
Although this family has not been separated, usually the silver earned by the child's father has to be handed over to Liu He's family, but the embroidery money embroidered by his daughter-in-law does not need to be handed over, and can be used as private money. for it is required by the law.
But Liu He didn't care what the law stipulated, if she saw that she went to the town to hand in embroidery, then she would take it all, and sometimes when she was in a good mood, she would leave two or three cents for herself. So every time she came out, she had to be sneaky. (To be continued.) )
