As the weather gets colder day by day, the New Year is getting closer and closer. Out of November, Lin Zhu wanted to prepare things for the New Year, because he had dealings with the village chief's family, the Wang family and Dr. Zhang's family, so Lin Zhu wanted to prepare some things for the New Year and send them over, Xie Lu thanked them for taking care of them these days. The village chief and Wang Shudun's family said that they should prepare some meat, and if there is a fish seller, they will add another fish. It's just that Dr. Zhang's family always thinks that it is a little inappropriate to only send these, if there are hares and pheasants and the like, maybe Dr. Zhang will like it more, but where can I get these? Lin Zhu was going to try his luck when he was going to the town to catch the market.

Lin Zhu is now familiar with going to the town alone to catch the market, when Aunt Li is not free, she will go alone in Lin Dazhu's ox cart, and almost everyone in Linjia Village knows her, and she will chat a few words along the way, and she is not lonely.

On this day, which coincided with the day of the market, Lin Zhu and other villagers were companions and went to the town in Lin Dazhu's ox cart.

When Lin Zhu arrived in the town, he first went to the vegetable market to see if there were any hares and pheasants, this season, there was no farm work, and there were more people hunting in the mountains, so Lin Zhu saw several people selling wild things, but because she arrived late, many people were sold out, it was really a good luck, and when Lin Zhu was about to turn around and leave, there was a middle-aged man dressed as a hunter, carrying a prey like a sheep and not a sheep to the vegetable market, he put the prey on the ground, and the people around came to see, "Ho, what a big roe deer!" "Someone has already screamed. Hearing this, Lin Zhu also squeezed over to take a look, she remembered that she had heard people say that the meat of roe deer is delicate and delicious, rich in nutrition, and there is no fat in the whole body, and it has the effect of warming the spleen and stomach, strengthening the heart and moistening the lungs, relieving dampness and prolonging life. Its skin is also precious. Lin Zhu felt that this was a good opportunity, and it would be very suitable to buy it as a New Year's gift not only for Dr. Zhang, but also for Lady Li's family and the Wang family, and this roe deer looked very big, and she could keep some for herself.

Because the middle-aged Orion came late, the people around were all just watching the excitement, although there were also people who wanted to buy, but it was not cheap at first glance at such a big one, and the Orion would definitely not sell it separately, so it was a little cold for a while. Lin Zhu squeezed in front of Orion and asked him, "Uncle, how do you sell this roe deer?" Orion knew that he had missed a good time to sell his prey in the morning, and was secretly anxious, thinking that if he couldn't do it, he would send it to the restaurant in the town, although the price line was low, but it was better than not being able to sell it, and besides, he was still waiting for money at home. Suddenly, I heard someone inquiring about the price, and I was happy, and when I looked up, it was a child, so I was a little unhappy, thinking that it was for fun. "Little girl, don't make trouble, call your family if you want." He waved his hand, "It's just that you are a child squeezing here, hurry up and find your family." "The people around me think the same way as Orion. Lin Zhu was very depressed, and said in his heart, what about selling things with this vision? I can't tell who really wants to buy it. If I don't buy it, I'll ask you what price you are doing, isn't it a blind man lighting a lamp in vain.

No matter what the people around him said, Lin Zhu still insisted on asking Orion the price of the roe deer, and Orion suddenly felt that she didn't look like she was making trouble, so he told her, "This roe deer has more than sixty catties, if you want it, take it for one or two pieces of silver." Before Lin Zhu could react, the faces of the people around him changed a little when they heard this price, and no one spoke for a while, and someone said, "This is too expensive, it's up to the price of pork." Orion's face is also a little bad, he is asking for a higher price, but he can also bargain, but you don't buy it and interject on the sidelines, it looks like he bullied a child, and deliberately raised the price. glared at the person who spoke, and then looked at Lin Zhu, and saw that she didn't speak, and was a little nervous.

Lin Zhu thought for a while, she is not like the current people because this roe deer is wild, people just take some effort to call, and think that its price must be lower than pork, on the contrary, she thinks that this price is very cheap, but she will not slaughter it, which is a bit troublesome. He stared at the roe deer and shook his head. Just when Orion thought that she didn't want it after listening to the man's words, Lin Zhu said to him, "Uncle, if I buy it, can you help clean it up?" ”

Orion, who was not hopeful, was stunned for a moment when he heard her say this, but immediately woke up, this kid wanted to buy, and there was no counteroffer, so he quickly nodded, "Okay, okay, okay, I'll clean it up for you." After Lin Zhu handed over the silver, Orion borrowed a sharp knife from the familiar pork stall, and quickly skinned the roe deer first, and then cleaned the internal organs, and it was obvious that he was a veteran, and the whole roe deer was cleaned up in less than half an hour. Lin Zhu asked him to send the roe deer to Lin Dazhu's ox cart, and he happily agreed.

Seeing that the two were gone, the onlookers also dispersed, and they all felt that Lin Zhu had suffered a loss. But this kind of thing is all voluntary.

Before leaving the market, I saw fish sellers again, large carp, silver carp, and small crucian carp. After asking about the price, the carp cost ten cents a catty, and the crucian carp cost three cents a catty, so Lin Zhu bought four larger carps and five or six small crucian carp, spending a total of one hundred and fifty wen. The hunter who followed behind her, seeing that she was small but spent so much money, felt very strange in his heart, and inevitably wanted to be a little crooked, thinking that there was something wrong with her money, but he didn't say anything, and followed her silently, until Lin Zhu said it, and then put down the roe deer that had been resisting on his shoulder. Lin Zhu asked Orion to put the roe deer on Lin Dazhu's ox cart. At this time, Lin Dazhu was sitting at a tea stall not far away, and when he saw Lin Zhu coming, he hurriedly walked closer, "Xiaozhu, what good things did you buy?" "Brother Dazhu, come and see, I just bought it." Lin Zhu pointed to the roe deer and said, Lin Dazhu just wanted to say something, and suddenly looked at the back of the person who carried the roe deer, which was very familiar, "Isn't this Uncle Liu?" Lin Dazhu patted Orion's arm.

Orion put down the roe deer and turned around to see that this person he knew, Lin Dazhu from Linjia Village, "It's you kid, you are also here to catch the market." Lin Zhu saw that the two knew each other, so he stopped talking, and let the two greet each other. After listening to it for a while, I realized that Orion's name was Liu Chunshan, a person from Xiaoliuzhuang, and the maiden family of Aunt Li's eldest daughter-in-law Liu Qiucui was from the same village. As soon as the farm is slack, he goes hunting, he has rich experience, he is a good hunter, and this year he is even busier in order to save money for his son to marry. Lin Dazhu had also gone hunting before, and the two had met, and they gradually became acquainted.

Seeing that the two of them were sitting at the tea stall and talking, Lin Zhu did not follow, he stayed alone by the ox cart, and bought two steamed buns from the side of the seller, which had just come out of the cage and ate them in small bites.

Because he knew Lin Dazhu, and heard from him that Lin Zhu was also from Linjia Village, and he heard that she had a good relationship with Lin Changqing, the village head of Linjia Village, so Liu Chunshan also dispelled his suspicions about Lin Zhu. After talking to Lin Dazhu for a while, he left.
