On the second day, it is a cold market, and only the shops that do business in the market are open to sell things, and there are only two stores that sell meat, and there are seven or eight stores selling in the hot market. The small traders and peddlers were nowhere to be seen.

I have to dig lotus root today, and Mrs. Chu is clamoring to drink lotus root soup every day.

Gu Mingzhu is still quite old.

Chu Jing saw that she insisted on going, so he didn't persuade her anymore, and got up with her.

He also has something to do, and he received news that the prince has arrived in Zhengning County and is now living in the county office. He has to hurry up and arrange, how to deal with this prince?

Yun Chi, who had been standing outside the door for a long time, saw Gu Mingzhu walking out with his tongue sticking out, and his puzzled eyes were fixed on her tongue, what happened to the young lady's tongue?

Chu Jing, who came out with Gu Mingzhu, saw Yun Chi staring at Gu Mingzhu's tongue without blinking, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, can this tongue be seen casually?

And Yun Chi's attention was obviously on Gu Mingzhu's tongue, he didn't notice Chu Jing's displeasure, and asked stupidly, "Young lady, what's wrong with your tongue?" Why do you stick it out?"

When Gu Mingzhu heard Yun Chi ask like this, he really wanted to just hit his head and die. lest you have to answer such profound questions.

Chu Jing snorted coldly in the back at this time, and finally pulled Yun Chi's attention back, and saw Chu Jing with a dark face, and asked coldly, "Are you very idle?" If you have time to talk nonsense here, you might as well go and get the carriage ready. ”

The general meant to get out of the house himself, and where did he offend the general? Yun Chi was confused, thinking that it would be better to get out, so he pulled away and ran away.

Count you kid acquaintance! If he doesn't roll, he'll kick off.

Gu Mingzhu packed up and took the carriage towards the town.

Watching the carriage go away, Chu Jing felt a little uneasy in his heart, he always felt that something was going to happen, and after thinking about it, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong, maybe he was thinking too much.

Shaking his head, he went to the study.

Yunchi is also a child's nature, loves to be lively, and has long wanted to go to the market town to play. As soon as he got out of the Chu family, he drove the horse fast and wanted to go to the town immediately.

Gu Mingzhu, like him, went out of Chu's house and felt that the sky was blue, the air was fresh, and the birds were singing more cheerfully.

It's better to be out there! Freedom!

Today is a hot set, there are many people rushing to the market, and when they get to the main road to the market, they are afraid that the carriage will hit people, so Yunchi does not whip anymore, and lets the carriage slowly move forward with the flow of people who catch the market.

There are also many people in Zhengning Village who come to the market, along the way, Gu Mingzhu has met Aunt Zhao, Aunt Li, Erzhu Niang, and other people in the village, Gu Mingzhu lifted the curtain and greeted them warmly, seeing that Gu Mingzhu also came to the market, they were also very happy and responded to her enthusiastically

The carriage was not moving fast, and Aunt Zhao and the others followed the carriage, chatting with Gu Mingzhu, who was sticking out of the window.

I learned from her mouth that they had earned a lot of money making rag dolls in the past few months, so they wanted to go to the market, buy some food and drink and go back to improve their food.

They also learned from them that due to the drought in the northwest, many hungry people have begun to leave their homeland and flee to the surrounding areas.

Aunt Zhao said that the last time she went to the market, she saw a few hungry people in the market, with yellow faces and thin muscles, and picked up leftovers from restaurants on the street to eat. It's really pitiful!

"O pearl! Be careful when you go to town! When you see those hungry people, you should avoid them, people are very hungry, but they can do anything. Aunt Zhao reminded Gu Mingzhu earnestly.

In today's world, once people are hungry and crazy, they can do anything, and it is not good if they are entangled by those hungry people, so it is better to avoid them.

"Yes! I also saw a hungry man who was so hungry that he snatched a woman's basket and ran, but the woman chased after her, but she was beaten by some of the hungry people, and she was beaten and wounded all over her body. These people are picking up the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, and they are ruthless! Aunt Li on the side also reminded Gu Mingzhu.

I didn't expect to miss the market for a few days, and the town had become so chaotic.

"These hungry people, does the government care?" Gu Mingzhu asked Aunt Zhao.

Gu Mingzhu had long known that the imperial court had allocated disaster relief funds, but he didn't expect that things were still not under control, but they made things more and more out of control.

Perhaps, as she expected, the disaster relief funds were really embezzled by the officials and did not reach the people at all

"This, there are too many hungry people, I'm afraid the government can't manage it!" Aunt Zhao is a woman, so she naturally doesn't understand the affairs of the government, so she can only comfort herself like this.

Thinking of Li Cuihua, the daughter of the county order, can raise such an arrogant and domineering daughter, presumably Lao Tzu is not a good thing?

A few people laughed and talked about the market town, and soon forgot about the starving people.

When they arrived at the market town, a few people separated, Yunchi settled the carriage, and went to the vegetable seed shop with Gu Mingzhu, Gu Mingzhu is already a frequent visitor here, even if he doesn't buy seeds every time he goes to the market, he has to come and shop to see if there are any novel seeds?

This time I bought strawberry seeds, Gu Mingzhu was worried that they didn't sell them, but I didn't expect that there were really strawberry seeds for sale in this store, which really gave Gu Mingzhu a surprise, thinking that next year there would be red sweet and sour strawberries in the greenhouse, Gu Mingzhu felt that his saliva was going to flow out.

I asked the shopkeeper inside, and I bought watermelon seeds and melon seeds. I bought some of them, sowed them when I went back, and transplanted them to greenhouses on the barren beach.

I bought some rape seeds again, and when I heard the shopkeeper say that it was a vegetable seed, Gu Mingzhu realized that the people here just planted rape as a vegetable to eat, and didn't think of using its seeds to make oil.

Place these seeds in a bamboo basket on the back of the cloud pool. Two people went out of the vegetable seed shop,

Gu Mingzhu had a headache in his tongue this morning, and he didn't eat breakfast at home, thinking that since he was in the market town, it would be good to spend breakfast in the town

"Yunchi, do you know that the wontons in this market town are the best?" Thinking of the thin-skinned and meaty wontons, Gu Mingzhu felt even hungrier.

"I'll eat this, the wontons at the Zhao Ji Wonton Noodle Restaurant on East Street over there are the best." As a foodie like Gu Mingzhu, Yunchi has already figured out the delicious places in the market town.

Seeing Gu Mingzhu asking, he answered without thinking about it. Is he also hungry for the wontons in that noodle restaurant? However, he is even more greedy for the lotus root pork rib soup made by the young lady, and this time he wants to dig more lotus roots and go back to eat enough!

"Okay! Let's go eat wontons, I'm in for a treat, you can eat as many bowls as you want! Gu Mingzhu said very generously.

Yunchi pouted, and he was still treated! Even if you break your belly, you won't be able to eat a few dollars! Why don't you go to Baijulou if you want to have a treat? The food there is delicious!
