Chapter Fifty-Six: It's Coming

"The best big cabbage is 20 yuan a catty, and the crisp green shepherd's cabbage is 30 yuan a catty, and you dare to ask for it." Fang Jing also learned from the way Xiao Shi shouted before, and shouted loudly.

"This, this, big cabbage, shepherd's cabbage, where did you get it? Where did the greens come from in this winter, this is amazing. A middle-aged man shouted at the vegetables.

"I want all of your vegetables for five pounds, pick them up and follow me." A shopkeeper ran over and looked at it, and directly said a price, asking Fang Jing to pick them up and follow him.

"The best big cabbage is 20 wen a catty, and the crisp green camellia is 30 wen a catty, if you want to buy it, you dare to ask, if you don't buy it, we will have to pick it up and sell it in the county in a while." Fang Jing can ignore him, five cents and one catty, you want to be beautiful, you can sell it to me for five cents and one catty.

"You little brother, five wen a pound is already very high, you sell twenty or thirty wen, who will ask for it." The shopkeeper listened to Fang Jing's words, and his heart was on fire.

"This guest officer, I am willing to give my goats to eat for five wen and one catty, and I will not pick it up and sell it in the town, now I only sell it for twenty wen, if you don't want it, then you can please." Fang Jing is not welcome, you don't want someone to ask for it, even if you give it to the sheep to eat, you won't sell it.

"Ten cents a pound, no more, pick up and follow me." The shopkeeper said that the price of ten wen, and his heart was also full of fire.

"The best big cabbage is 20 yuan a catty, and the crisp green shepherd's cabbage is 30 yuan a catty, and you dare to ask for it." Fang Jing still didn't want to deal with him, and continued to shout and sell.

After a while, someone bought some big vegetables and left, although it was not much, but it was also an opening, Chen Erlin weighed the vegetables, Fang Jing collected the money, and Dachu was watching from the side.

Fang Jing didn't shout anymore, there were more and more people, all shouting to buy a big cabbage to eat, although one weighed four, five or six pounds, but it couldn't stand the vegetables in winter, and the shopkeeper who wanted to buy vegetables for five cents just now squeezed aside.

Chen Erlin has been grinning and taking the vegetables, weighing the vegetables, Fang Jing collected the money, and Dachu also helped to take the vegetables, after a while, the picked up cabbage has been sold out, and there is still half of the camelina cabbage, those who didn't grab the camellia can only buy the camellia, who told them to come late, they have to buy 30 pounds of camelina cabbage.

The vegetables are sold out, and the people are almost gone, Fang Jing counted the copper coins in the basket, nearly nine yuan, this makes Fang Jing happy, thinking about the vegetables in the greenhouse, how can I sell them eight or nine times, what about the eggplant beans after the vegetables are sold, Chen Erlin and Da Chu are also grinning on the side.

"Do you have any vegetables, please?" Why is it gone so quickly, I just heard that there are vegetables for sale, so I arrived a little late and didn't have it? A lady came running and looked at the scattered leaves, but there were no vegetables.

"Auntie, this is all sold out, if you want to buy it, then you have to wait a few days, and in a few days, the south will ship some more." Fang Jing explained to the eldest lady, I don't want this potential customer to run away, it's money.

"Don't buy his vegetables, they can't be eaten." The shopkeeper who didn't buy vegetables was very angry, and he would run over and say that there was something wrong with Fang Jing's dishes, but he didn't say anything, he just wanted to pressure Fang Jing and ask him to sell vegetables to him at a low price next time.

"Is there a problem with my vegetables, you see, I have eaten them all, so is there a problem with this dish?" Fang Jing picked up some vegetable leaves on the ground and stuffed them directly into his mouth and ate them, directly making the shopkeeper angry and leaving.

Fang Jing watched the shopkeeper run away, didn't say anything anymore, picked up a basket containing copper coins and went to the place where Hu Cakes were sold not far away, bought a few Hu Cakes and walked home, but he didn't want to stay in the town, otherwise he would have no place to live, let alone go to the Yu family to spend the night.

When Fang Jing and the three of them returned home, it was already dark, this was the home that they had finally arrived, and it began to snow again in the afternoon, which added a little trouble to Fang Jing and the three of them, but what could this matter affect, it was just a little snow, Fang Jing had no problem, Chen Erlin Dachu felt that it was not a problem, mainly because the cloth shoes were all wet, and some feet were frozen, if it was colder this day, it was estimated that the toes could be frozen.

After returning home, the three of them quickly took off their cloth shoes and roasted in the stove, not wanting to frostbite their feet.

"Husband, Jing Wazi, how is it today? Are you okay? Zhang Xiaoxia finally saw the three of them come back, and they were still carrying so many copper coins, so she was relieved, but she still asked.

"Today is really good, so many vegetables have been sold for nearly nine dollars, it seems that the people in the town have some money, and the vegetables in the greenhouse are not worried." Chen Erlin told his wife about the situation.

"That's good, that's good, I'm still worried that no one wants it, otherwise I'll run for nothing, you haven't eaten yet, then I'll cook." Zhang Xiaoxia calmed down.

After eating, Fang Jing's family sat in front of the stove and roasted the fire, each with their own ideas, although they were similar, but they were all in a good direction.

"Uncle and uncle, in two days, I will pick some vegetables and sell them in the town, only once in the town, and then we will go to the county seat to sell, there are so many people in the town, and we can't buy much, there are so many people in the county, I believe we will sell faster and more." Fang Jing said his plan.

"Okay, listen to Jing Wazi." Chen Erlin listened to Fang Jing's plan and agreed with Fang Jing's statement.

Five days later, Fang Jing and the three of them went to the town again with vegetables, selling vegetables in the same place.

"I want your vegetables here, twenty cents a pound, pick up and follow me." The shopkeeper last time, seeing that Fang Jing and the three of them had finally come over to sell vegetables, hurriedly ran over and shouted.

"Guest officer, I'm sorry, the price of vegetables has increased this time, fifty yuan a catty." Fang Jing is not polite to this shopkeeper, if you are fifty wen, you don't want it, that is twenty wen a catty, this can be regarded as a kind of revenge, who let him say last time that his vegetables have problems and cannot be eaten, come and not be rude, Fang Jing will not be polite, if anyone is good to me, then I will be good to you, if anyone is not good to me, then I am sorry, then I will also be bad to you, and I will give back to him in the other way.

"What, wasn't it twenty wen a pound last time? It's fifty dollars a pound now, why don't you grab it? When the shopkeeper heard the price reported by Fang Jing, he said angrily.

"Yes, the price has increased, fifty wen a catty." Fang Jing still has an attitude of wanting to love or not, which makes the shopkeeper angry.

"I won't buy it, you can sell it if you like." After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he walked away.

"The best big cabbage is 20 yuan a catty, and the crisp green shepherd's cabbage is 30 yuan a catty, and you dare to ask for it." Fang Jing watched the shopkeeper walk away, and hurriedly shouted again.

The neighbors heard Fang Jing's shout, and hurriedly ran over to start buying vegetables, you and I have a tree, you have a few catties and I have a few catties, so it's not lively, the eldest lady last time finally bought a big cabbage before selling the big cabbage and went back, and happily said that our little grandson can finally eat green vegetables.

The shopkeeper in the distance saw that Fang Jing's vegetables were sold out so quickly, and he hurriedly called a neighbor who had bought Da Xiang Cai and asked, only to know the price of twenty wen, which really made him so angry that he was no longer angry, but about to vomit blood, with fire in his eyes, and said in his mouth, this cub, you will look good next time.

Fang Jing didn't know what the shopkeeper was, he was going to the Yu family with the basket, mainly to give the Yu family about five catties of pursed cabbage that he had specially left.

After giving the food to the Yu family, the three of them bought some food and rushed home; It's the same home when it's dark, the same pattern, the same cold and hungry.

In the next period of time, the vegetables in the greenhouse did not let Chen Erlin Dachu follow him to sell, but Fang Jing went to the county seat to sell them, Fang Jing's plan, but the shopkeeper in the town had nowhere to beat, and after waiting for many days, he didn't see the little cub in his heart, so he had to be helpless.

Fang Jing went to the county seat several times to sell vegetables, and when she lay down, the vegetables in the greenhouse were basically gone, only some were left for her own food, and some were left for every family in the village, of course, when Fang Jing went to the county seat to sell vegetables, she would occasionally go to Aunt Hua's inn to send some vegetables or something, so that Aunt Hua's family could taste it, if you really wanted to let go of eating, then you had to come to Fang Jing's house.

As the weather gradually becomes colder, the New Year is approaching, Fang Jing's family also began to prepare things for the New Year, Fang Jing also ran to lie in the county to buy some things, all the villagers in Fangjia Village also began to prepare the things needed for the New Year, although poor, but no one can stop the enthusiasm of the New Year, the New Year is everyone's expectation, at least there is delicious food, meat, can eat a few dry meals, can wear new clothes, this is the day that the little babies are most looking forward to.

In fact, the New Year in the Tang Dynasty is not the Spring Festival, it is the beginning of the spring, the beginning of the spring day is the year, until the Song and Yuan dynasties, the first month of the first month of each year must be the Spring Festival, and now the Tang Dynasty is the beginning of the spring, the first day of the first month of the first month is the first day of the year, but not the later Spring Festival, and the word year has a long history, mainly to celebrate the maturity of the grain, another year of grain growth, indicating the arrival of the next year, but for the Spring Festival, the New Year, there are many arguments in later generations, but the Ming and Qing dynasties are very clear, the Spring Festival is the first day of the first month, And there was controversy about Song before.

Fang Jing's family came with the arrival of the New Year, and everyone was so happy that they couldn't find the north, although Fang Jing didn't know what they were happy about, but for the expectations of the little babies, Fang Jing also thought it was a festive day.

On the day of the New Year, early in the morning, the whole village is very festive, the adults are also very clean, the same is true for the little babies, although there are not many new clothes, but can not stop everyone's joy, the adult men of the whole village will go to the ancestral hall to worship on the same day, the younger generations should ask the elders to say goodbye, and the people of the village should congratulate each other when they meet, in order to show that the crops in the coming year are good, and the wind and rain are smooth.

Fang Jing began to prepare for the New Year's dinner after returning from the sacrifice, with a lot of meat and vegetables, even Xiong Er was looking forward to today's big meal, this was a busy family, so many delicious dishes were put on the table, his eyes were staring at the dishes on the bamboo plate on the table, sitting quietly, waiting for Fang Jing's last dish.

"It's the New Year, I have to send you a New Year's money, come, Dachu, Daying, Xiaozhi, Xiaomei, these are the New Year's money that my brother gave you, but you have to live well, don't lose it, my brother hopes that you will be healthy in the coming year, be happy, eat and drink more, grow taller." Fang Jing put the last dish on the table and began to give New Year's money to a few little babies, but the New Year's money was wrapped in red paper, and there were ten copper coins in it, which was not available to the little uncle and aunt, so the elders had to give it to the younger generations.

New Year's money, in the Tang Dynasty has begun to become popular, although not comprehensive, but also some large families, or scholars have an official family, there is a custom of issuing New Year's money, the New Year's money is mainly a celebration, can also be said to be a kind of foreshadowing of the coming year's beauty.

"Let's eat, it's a very hearty day, everyone can eat hard, haha." Fang Jing opened his mouth and shouted.

"Yes, let's eat, everyone has to be good this year." Chen Erlin and his wife also shouted happily.

Adults and little babies don't care what the rules are, in fact, there are not many rules in Fang Jing's house, everyone takes chopsticks and stretches out to their favorite vegetable clips, the little babies are full of oil, and the joy of eating, even Xiong Er, who is eating the food on the big plate on the ground, is very happy, humming vigorously, and also enjoying everything that this year has brought to it.
