Chapter 43: Shopping

When it was almost noon, there were already three or four baskets of nine full baskets on the car, and the small box containing copper coins was also half-filled. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info watched Lu Jinshi weigh a small bag of peaches again, Zhang Xin bumped Zhang Xi on the shoulder, "Hey, Ah Xi," said and clicked on the wooden box containing money, "How much did our three baskets of peaches cost?" ”

Zhang Xi picked up the box and checked it, and estimated the weight, "Probably...... Two or three hangs of money must be there! As he spoke, he looked at the sky, and it was probably close to dinner, and the sun had been high all morning, and the temperature had risen, and the unpleasant smell of the market had become even stronger. It's a pity that it is probably "living in the room of Zhilan for a long time and not realizing its fragrance, and living in the abalone for a long time without realizing its smell." Zhang Xin sadly found that he had begun to get used to the super unpleasant smell, and the vomiting caused by the previous smell was gone.

Zhang Xin watched the people in the market slowly become scarce at this time, and the business on his stall began to be deserted, saying that Zhang Xin had long wanted to come to see this market full of local flavor, and said to Zhang Xi at the moment: "Ah Xi, I'll go around for a while, do you two look at the stall?" ”

Although Zhang Xi knew that Zhang Xin's personal force was simply bursting, it was a pity that Zhang Xin had been a little lacking in common sense since "amnesia", and he really didn't worry about him going around alone, and then looked at the fact that there were many fewer people buying peaches at this time, and it was estimated that Lu Jinshi could make do with it alone, wiped the sweat on his head with his cuffs, and said to Zhang Xin first: "Brother Xin...... Wait a minute, my sister-in-law asked me to bring something back when we left, and I hurried to take stock when there were fewer people at this time. Then he said to Lu Jinshi, "Jinshi, you look at the stall first, and I'll go with Brother Xin to take inventory." ”

Lu Jinshi nodded reservedly, at this time another guest came to the peach stall, picked and chose a bag of peaches, Lu Jinshi took the bag and skillfully used the scale to find the right balance, and said to the guest who came to buy peaches gently: "Two and a half catties, five pennies." As he spoke, he took the five cents from the guest's hand, and stuffed an extra peach into the guest's package.

Zhang Xi picked up the small wooden box containing copper coins, poured all the "bang" into his bag, estimated that the money to buy things was enough, and called Zhang Xin: "Brother Xin, let's go!" ”

Zhang Xin sold peaches all morning, and he had long wanted to go to the market, and when he heard this, he jumped out of the car, "let's chirp", and the black muddy water splashed up, Zhang Xin didn't care, and greeted Zhang Xi: "Let's go......

At this time, the market was far from the grand occasion of rubbing shoulders in the morning, but Zhang Xin saw that most of the stalls in the market were the same as himself, all pulling the car to the middle of the road to a pestle, which was considered a stall, and then made the stalls dotted in the market like a maze, and Zhang Xin was a little dizzy after not taking two steps. Fortunately, Zhang Xi's sense of direction is much stronger, and with Zhang Xindong and west, there is no danger of getting lost.

Zhang Xin walked and stopped, looking at it was quite fresh. Just walking past a stall, Zhang Xi suddenly grabbed Zhang Xin, "Brother Xin, wait a minute......" said and walked to the stall and checked the pieces of cloth on the stall.

Zhang Xin also went up to take a look, and found that this is also the most common nettle cloth in the village, although this cloth is strong and durable, but unfortunately the warmth effect is not very good, and the fiber is hard, and it is a little panicked to wear closely. However, it is better to be cheap, this nettle all over the mountains, weaving cloth basically does not require material money, and it is also laborious.

Zhang Xin touched the feel, which was far worse than cotton. It's a pity that cotton is still rare at this time, and everyone's clothes are basically linen. Zhang Xi checked for a long time, picked out a big red dyed horse and an indigo-dyed one, and asked the aunt who couldn't sell it: "Excuse me...... How to sell this cloth? The aunt who sold the cloth glanced at it and said, "Twenty red texts, blue twenty-five texts." ”

Zhang Xi thought about it, this extra money is fair, opened the blanket and counted out forty-five coins from it and handed it to the aunt. But how to take it away is difficult again, a piece of cloth is quite a big piece, and the weight is not light. It's obviously hard to hold in your hands. The aunt saw the embarrassment of the two of them, took out a bamboo pole from the car and handed it over, "Young man, take it." Zhang Xin and Zhang Xi hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, auntie......" Then the two of them found a hemp rope and tied it at both ends of the bamboo pole, and picked up the two pieces of cloth, which was counted as a flat burden.

In addition to two pieces of cloth, there are also hairpins for Xiaohong, a handkerchief for Xiaolu, a silk for my sister-in-law to embroider a fan, a small half-horned vegetable oil, a bundle of candles, a few needles and a roll of thread...... Gradually, the weight on the flat shoulder became heavier and heavier, making Zhang Xi sweat.

Zhang Xindong walked around and didn't have anything to look at, it was nothing more than the handmade products in the village, and people who had seen modern industrial products would never look down on these "shoddy" goods. The only thing that made him excited was the BMW that the Turks brought for sale...... That's really much better than the "BMW" of the 21st century! The war horses on the grassland are really different from the horses I have seen before, that temperament, that demeanor...... It's mighty to look at! The group of Turks brought a total of more than 20 such war horses, looking at the top of the gods, even Zhang Xin, who didn't know anything about horses, could see that these war horses had an indescribable temperament.

It's a pity that when the two of them asked, the cheapest one was ten taels of gold. The two of them rummaged through their pockets and had a total of more than 100 yuan left...... That is, more than a tael of silver. Don't ask how much gold a tael of silver is, that's a really sad subject...... In short, in the end, Zhang Xin drooled for a long time, and then resolutely turned his head and said a cruel word to Zhang Xi, "Mother, when you have the opportunity to fight with the Turks in the future, you will rob their horses first......"

After watching the war horse, the two shy people in the bag walked back in displeasure, Zhang Xin looked at the mess on the side of the road and was even more unhappy, this dilapidated small county town looked even dirtier after a morning of the impact of the flow of people, the black muddy water all over the ground, the roadside was full of rotten vegetable leaves, the feces of cattle and horses, the sparse rags and broken strange-shaped wood. The stalls are also scattered everywhere, one in the east and one in the west, and the whole market is messy and smelly, Zhang Xin looks very nostalgic for the sanitation workers and the city management...... If I'm **** city manager, as for a bazaar, is it like a pigsty......
