Chapter 8 Speaking of the heart

The docking of such passenger ships was very popular with the townspeople, but most of the people who could stop in their small place had to make some necessary supplies. In addition to daily consumables such as food and water, sometimes there will be sudden breakdowns that require something else.

There are also people who specialize in carrying the work, who are already eager to try, ready to be greeted and help the ship's employer.

When Yuan Dongchu and the three of them came to the wharf, it was already very lively, although everyone did not dare to rush forward, but they also seized an advantageous position, and the customers who came down from the boat could take care of their business.

The three of them are conspicuous here, not very old girls, but they have all patched clothes, and there are no ornaments on their heads. Among the three, only Xiao Cui carried a basket on her arm, but it didn't look like she was putting anything rare, and she was really not competitive at all.

In modern terms, in the eyes of everyone, they are properly passing by the soy sauce party.

Someone has already come down from the boat, according to Yuan Dongchu's eyesight, that person is slightly blessed, although he is dressed decently, he will not be the head of a big family, and he looks like a faceless steward.

The man took two errand boys and walked along the main road of the docks towards the town. In front of him, a lean middle-aged man nodded and led the way, smiling all the way, pointing to the side of the road to make introductions.

On the oblique side behind these people, a capable woman in a dark lotus lotus dress, with two servants, was facing the vendors around with arrogance, critically inspecting vegetables, eggs and poultry.

Sure enough, it was for supplies, and Yuan Dongchu and the three of them immediately moved forward.

Isn't it a soy sauce party? A sturdy woman glanced at the basket that Xiao Cui was carrying with disgust, and her body was horizontal, blocking the front of the three people, but she lifted the basket of vegetables in her hand up, and kept saying with kindness: "This grandmother, you see how fresh my basket of vegetables is, this is just picked from the ground, and the town can't find better vegetables than mine." ”

Yuan Dongchu looked at it, a basket of small cabbage, it was indeed green and tender, but it was not as mysterious as she said.

Then I looked at the various people on both sides, and several people's baskets were all greens of the same quality, and they were not competitive, okay?

She felt a little more confident in her plans to make a small amount of money.

On the contrary, it was Xiao Cui, who looked very weak, not to mention letting her show the wild vegetables for sale, it seemed that she was afraid of being seen, and when people's eyes swept over, she shrank back.

After some selection, the mother-in-law who bought vegetables had two chickens and a duck at her feet, and they were fluttering hard. She instructed a servant woman to pick eggs and duck eggs, while she looked through the baskets in front of her again.

In fact, there are not many kinds of vegetables in this era, and there are only a few kinds of vegetables to pick and choose, which are nothing more than radish and cabbage, bamboo shoots and yams, as well as local dishes such as water spinach and artemisia.

In fact, this mother-in-law was really interested, and then her eyes turned around, and she immediately saw Yuan Dongchu's little sister, and her eyes fell on the vegetable basket that Xiao Cui was carrying.

As if hesitating, he nodded their side with his chin and asked, "What's in that basket?" ”

Everyone asked about it, but Xiaocui not only didn't step forward, but tightened the basket even more weakly, and then took half a step back.

Yuan Dongchu supported his forehead, hurriedly took the basket, and while leaning towards his mother-in-law, he lifted the coarse cloth on the basket: "Mama, look, we are all pinched tender tips, and the quality is good." ”

What she said was quite high-end and tempting, and when everyone was curious and looked at the freshness, there was an instant boo:

"Huhβ€”what should I do? Isn't this what purslane and camellia weed? ”

"This kind of rough thing dares to take it in front of the nobles, it's really ignorant!"

"Look, there's a bundle of dandelions in there, right? This bitter thing was actually sold at the dock, confused girl! ”

When the woman saw the contents of the basket clearly, her face was not good, and she was almost about to scold!

actually brought the things to feed the pigs to her, and sure enough, she was a small local pariah who didn't know the severity, and she was just begging for a beating!

Yuan Dongchu didn't panic at all, his face was calm, and he swept everyone around with some contempt, but when everyone didn't know why, he temporarily suppressed the field.

Then, she turned her head and smiled at the woman, and whispered, "Mama, can you take a step to speak?" Don't worry, if my words don't reach your heart, you can just scold me. ”

Who is idle and scolds you for being a little girl? The mother-in-law glared at her angrily. However, Yuan Dongchu's two sentences aroused her curiosity.

She could see clearly that the contents of their baskets were really miscellaneous vegetables in the field, and only the poor who really couldn't eat enough could swallow them.

But this little girl's attitude, can she really say something different?

So, under the gaze of all kinds of people, the mother-in-law really followed the shabby little girl and stood aside.

Yuan Dongchu didn't care about other people's eyes, she flicked the wild vegetables in the basket, and said, "Look, this is the bitter dandelion that the aunt said just now." You are well-informed, you must know this, although dandelion has a bitter taste, but blanch the water twice, and the bitter taste will fade......"

Then, her words spoke to the mother-in-law's heart: "The most important thing is that this thing is clear and bright, although it is a little bitter, but the freshness in it is not suppressible by the bitter taste." Let your chef mix vinegar, salt and sesame oil, so that you can eat it refreshed and comfortable. ”

The mother-in-law was really moved, her masters ate and drank well every day, and what they needed was really refreshing. These days, I am not active on the boat, not to mention the stomach, and even the body is tired.

Especially the old lady of her family, the statement of clear fire and clear eyes has absolute demagogic power for the old lady.

Yuan Dong saw the door for the first time, and picked up a small bundle of shepherd's cabbage, "This is shepherd's cabbage, and we are all the freshest and most tender picked." I saw that you just bought bamboo shoots and made a stir-fried shrimp with spring bamboo shoots and shepherd's cabbage, and I was very appetizing when I looked at it. You can also make shepherd's cabbage fish rolls and shepherd's cabbage silver sprouts, which taste very good. ”

The more the mother-in-law listened, the more heart-warming she became, the rich people were picky about food, and she, the buying mother-in-law, knew best. There are only many kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and it is also tired of eating them every day, and I really need some different flavors to add freshness.

Yuan Dongchu continued to flicker: "There is also this purslane, which clears away heat and detoxifies, cleans the stomach and intestines, and also relieves the dizziness and chest tightness of the elderly." It is good to make shredded meat soup or cold salad with minced garlic, and the meat bun is especially delicious. ”

So many benefits? The mother-in-law had already subconsciously reached out to get the basket of wild vegetables.

Yuan Dongxin was overjoyed, if he took the basket together, he could sell the basket at a good price, then the two girls would be happy, right?
