Chapter 33: The Bazaar
It didn't take long for the Cheng family coachman to drive to pick up Cheng Zijing and Wu Nuandong, the owner of the grain store was waiting at the door of the store, and when he saw that the adult did not get out of the car, the old face suddenly croaked down, and opened his mouth to scold, but saw the little girl smiling and handed the boy a stick with a thick arm, and the stick was gently grasped by the boy's hand and snapped into two pieces.
The boss shuddered and hurriedly went back to the shop.
Cheng Zijing still didn't understand what was going on, and raised his hand and asked in surprise: "Why is the strength still there, then why can't you even hold it!" ”
"I'm sorry for your IQ if I don't call you. Two, make good use of your strength, this is the biggest shining point in your whole body! Wu Nuandong sincerely admired and jumped into the carriage first.
Cheng Zijing covered his lips and smiled, it's so good, Nuan Nuan doesn't dislike him!
Wu Xingzhou and Steward Cheng were not worried about the two children, so they sent a coachman to pick them up and take them to the larger market in the town, where there were mostly mobile stalls, cheap and highly selective.
The coachman stopped in a quiet corner outside the morning market, and not far away, Wu Xingzhou and Wu Xia Zhi stood in front of the stall and looked left and right, and finally put their minds at ease when they saw Wu Nuandong running over with all his eyes.
"Nuan Nuan, pick a pair of your favorite dishes and chopsticks!" Wu Xingzhou pointed to the bowls and chopsticks on the stall, and there were already four large bowls, two large plates, seven pairs of chopsticks, and four spoons tied next to it.
Most of the stalls are made of wood, a few are made of bamboo, and the wooden dishes and chopsticks are only the difference between carving flowers, and the price of individual delicate ones will not be high. Compared to porcelain, it is currently the most suitable for several children.
Wu Nuandong picked a pair of small bamboo chopsticks, a small wooden spoon and a medium bowl with small fish engraved at the bottom of the bowl with high interest.
"Seeing how much you buy, it's still the same price." The stall owner is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old Zhuang boy, with a round face and a very simple smile, and when he saw the wooden bowl selected by Wu Nuandong, he smiled even more, and took the initiative to help Wu Xingzhou tie the newly picked out dishes and chopsticks together.
Wu Xingzhou took out another 20 Wen and handed it over, Wu Xia Zhi took the bowl and chopsticks and held Wu Nuandong's hand, and asked with concern, "Nuan Nuan, have you asked the price?" I saw that there was also a medical clinic on that street over there, if you didn't say hello to my second brother and accompany you. ”
"Okay, but I want to compare the two, is that okay?"
Wu Xingzhou heard it and nodded approvingly, "Yes, no matter whether you buy or sell, you should shop around, Nuan Nuan is so smart!" ”
Cheng Zijing peeked at Wu Nuandong, who was selling well, and resented in his heart: What is said in the book is indeed good, how fickle women are in the Tang Dynasty. Just look at Nuan Nuan's little face, you know that he is obedient, cute, and sensible to his brother, why can't he be so cute to him!
"By the way, Brother Xingzhou, I bought some seeds in the grain store and want to plant them in the new yard, I will take care of them!" Wu Nuandong applied with the only 'adult' in the family, knowing that the martial brothers would definitely follow her wishes and didn't want to make their own decisions, after all, they were a family, don't look at the young age of the brothers, they should be respected.
"I'm too tired to farm, so my brother should help you plant!" Wu Xingzhou replied without thinking. If that piece of land can really be bought, it will definitely not be possible to build a few houses for the time being under the condition of limited money, mainly because the outer wall should be repaired to prevent insects, toads and other poisons from entering the house, and then the yard will be very large, and it is really necessary to plant something to avoid waste.
"Brother Xingzhou, I really want to plant it myself, let me plant it, plant it!" Wu Nuandong shamelessly sold cute, looked at Wu Xingzhou with big eyes, pulled his sleeves and swung them, and sprouted Wu Xia Zhi and Cheng Zijing next to him, which shows how lethal it is.
"Good, good, good!" Wu Xingzhou, a little man, was overwhelmed, and nodded again and again, "If you don't like it, tell Brother Xingzhou, and let my brother help you take care of it?" ”
"Good! Brother Xingzhou is the best! ”
"Nuan Nuan, what about me! I'll take care of it for you, too! Wu Xia Zhi asked jealously.
"Whether it's the second brother, the third brother, everyone!" To achieve what he wanted, Wu Nuandong's good words didn't need money, and Cheng Zijing, who listened to it, pursed his lips, feeling that this scene was extremely unpleasant and muttered secretly, "A dignified woman, learning from a little man's attitude, disgusting!" ”
"Two-two, if you say too much, you will lose!" Wu Nuan Dongpi said in a low voice without smiling, pulled Wu Xia Zhi arrogantly and snorted coldly, and passed by Cheng Zijing.
Cheng Zijing was terrified, how did she hear such a small voice, it was terrifying!
There are two grain shops in the bazaar that sell seeds, and Wu Xingzhou secretly compares the seeds that Wu Nuandong has bought, and the quality of these two grain shops is much better than that opposite the medical hall, and the price is the same and there are more varieties.
Wu Xingzhou bought six buckets of brown rice for 450 wen, and bought another bucket of fine rice for 100 wen, which was enough for four children to eat for more than three months. Although they like to eat pasta, white noodles are not many in the south, and the price is still high, not as affordable as rice. Wu Xingzhou gritted his teeth and bought half a bucket of white noodles, which cost 120 Wen.
"Why are you still buying food?" Cheng Zijing was very strange, "I have it all at home." ”
Wu Xia Zhi was just about to open his mouth when he was interrupted by Wu Nuandong's pulling, Wu Xingzhou said with a smile: "Qiu Zhi can cook, Nuan Nuan is used to eating Qiu Zhi's cooking, you know, of course we are such a little sister who is spoiled." ”
Cheng Zijing didn't say anything, he understood a little in his heart, a little ashamed and a little relieved. The brothers and sisters of the Wu family are weak but self-reliant and independent, and they can rely on the Cheng family to live by saving his life, but they don't want to act like this, and they can't complain that Uncle Cheng will value them so much.
Compare yourself...... Cheng Zijing really felt that he had lived for sixteen years in vain.
Wu Nuandong glanced at the silent Cheng Zijing, and understood his mood very well, she didn't want to die at the beginning, and it was really worse than the martial brothers who could succeed, quietly shook his hand, and said softly: "Take your time, you are still young!"
Cheng Zijing's heart warmed, and he looked at the two intersecting hands, and blushed his cheeks.
The sun is approaching the middle of the day, the martial brothers should buy and find everything they should have done, Steward Cheng waited by the carriage with a smile on his face, and when he saw Cheng Zijing, he first took out a brocade and handed it over, "Young master, you wipe your sweat, hurry up and get in the car to rest!" ”
Cheng Zijing turned his hand and handed the handkerchief to Wu Nuandong, and said shyly: "You wipe it first!" ”
"Oh! Thank you! Wu Xia Zhi stood beside Wu Nuandong, who knew that Cheng Zijing was talking about his own Nuan Nuan, unceremoniously took the handkerchief and wiped it and threw it back to Cheng Zijing, turned his head and pinched Nuan Nuan's little face enviously, "It's so good, Nuan Nuan doesn't sweat much!" ”
Wu Xingzhou knocked on Wu Xia Zhi's head with a fist, and scolded with a smile: "You should be Nuan Nuan is a big man like us!" Men sweat, sweat is the real man! ”
Wu Nuandong laughed, Wu Xingzhou has been under too much pressure recently, pretending to be an adult all day long, as if this is the only way to control this family, and at this time it is rare to recover the former jump.
Cheng Zijing pulled his sleeve and sniffed it, is the smell of sweat a real man? But it stinks, and the slave family doesn't like it!
