Chapter 11 Rush to the Market
"Uh, Toto, are you sure you're going to eat chili?"
Li Erbao only ate a dish made of chili peppers once when he was a classmate, and his mouth hurt hotly after eating.
Li Duoduo nodded vigorously:
"I want to eat."
Li Erbao agreed with a distorted expression:
"Okay, the second brother will find a way to let you eat chili peppers once, but don't cry when the time comes!"
"Don't cry." Li Duoduo smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed.
In fact, she can imagine the feeling of the second brother eating chili for the first time, which is probably exactly the same as the feeling of a person who has never eaten betel nut eating the first bite of betel nut.
But the second brother certainly can't understand her love and obsession with chili peppers as a modern person.
On the same day, Li Erbao told his father that his sister wanted to eat chili peppers, and proposed to take his sister to the town the next day, and he could catch a market by the way.
Pick up the father and Caigua Niang are very worried:
"There are too many people at the market, what if your sister loses it again?"
"No, Duoduo has grown up, let's take her, watch more, it won't happen like that when I was a child."
Li Erbao knew that his father and mother were referring to the fact that his sister followed them to the market when she was five years old, and was almost deceived by a kidnapper with a piece of candy.
Since then, the family has been like a frightened bird, not to mention letting Duoduo go to the market, even Lijiacun didn't dare to let her out.
But this is not the solution, for a mentally discouraged little girl, the more she is treated as a fool, the more she will become a real fool.
Li Erbao patted his chest with his father and mother and promised:
"Dad, mother, don't worry, take Duoduo to the market this time, I will definitely watch her firmly, and I won't let her bump into her a little!"
Daddy and Caigua Niang were sleepless in the middle of the night, thought about it all night, and finally agreed the next morning.
But instead of letting Li Erbao take Li Duoduo to go, the whole family went to the market together.
The old couple discussed for a night, and felt that the tofu had been sold for a lot of money recently, and it was time to tear some cloth for the family to make a few summer clothes.
Qian Yue was also very happy when she heard that she was going to the market, but she couldn't help but tease her husband Li Dabao in private:
"It's fortunate that I have made a little money recently, otherwise I am afraid that this dress will not be made! Fortunately, you have a lot of land, otherwise those who know know that I am married to the son of a landlord, and those who don't know think that I am married to a flower child! ”
Li Dabao's face was red, and he didn't dare to refute a word.
Because his father was too picky, the two of them never dared to eat well and dress well like other landlords' families, and his daughter-in-law was laughed at when she returned to her parents' house, and he knew all this.
All he could do was take out his money bag from his arms and stuff it into Qian Yue's hand:
"Here, you can spend whatever you want."
Li Duoduo watched from the side and sighed.
Spend it casually, these are the three words that many women in modern times dream of hearing, the eldest brother is really a good husband.
Qian Yue took the money bag unceremoniously, but in a blink of an eye, she saw her sister-in-law looking at her with blank eyes.
Qian Yue thought about it, took a string of money from the money bag, found a rope and strung it around Li Duoduo's neck:
"Now, for you, I'll buy it myself when I see something I like in a while."
"Thank you, sister-in-law!"
This was really an unexpected joy, Li Duoduo jumped up without hesitation and kissed Qian Yue on the face.
Qian Yue had never been so close to her sister-in-law, so she subconsciously took out the handkerchief and was about to wipe her face, but after looking at the sister-in-law's face smiling like a flower, she silently took the handkerchief back.
In fact, such a sister-in-law has nothing to dislike.
The town where Lijia Village is located is called Huilong Town, and every five days is the town's market day, and people from ten miles and eight townships also take advantage of the market to buy food, drink, and daily necessities at home.
The Li family's ox cart was not small, and the family squeezed it and sat on it, swaying along the mountain road towards the town.
The mountain road to the town is winding and winding, not very smooth, and Li Duoduo, who was doing an ox cart for the first time in his life, was tossed and hurt before he arrived in the town.
But she was embarrassed to say it, after all, compared to those poor people who hiked on the mountain trails, her treatment was already good, and people were satisfied.
But soon her attention was diverted, and the town's bazaar was in sight, and she finally got a glimpse of a different side of this strange world.
In the past, when watching costume dramas, Li Duoduo always felt that the ancient times were particularly beautiful, everyone wore beautiful Hanfu, ate original food, the streets were always lively, the houses were tall and tidy, and the tourist resorts that took the ancient route had to fight.
But the world that appeared in front of her at this time - she was not disappointed, but had a sense of solidity that her feet had finally stepped on the ground.
On the vast flat piece of yellow earth, the dust is slightly raised, the stall vendors are shouting hard, and the people in neat or ragged clothes shuttle among the vendors, or joy or sorrow, or buying wantonly, or bargaining, shouting and quarreling and shouting are intertwined, lively and noisy, and the fresh breath is blowing in the face.
Li Fulu sent the ox cart to a place dedicated to taking care of the ox cart, and took his family to blend into the bustle.
Li Fulu and Li Dabao's goal is all kinds of farm tools, Caigua Niang's goal is oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and Li Duoduo and Qian Yue's goal is to eat, drink and wear.
Li Erbao hesitated for a moment and decided to join the camp of his sister-in-law and sister-in-law.
He didn't want to buy anything, he just wanted to take his sister for a good walk, and making her happy was the top priority.
So Li Duoduo was protected by Qian Yue and Li Erbao on the left and right, and plunged into the noisy bazaar.
It didn't take long for Li Duoduo to harvest two big buns, two sugar gourds, and a large handful of sugar people, his hands were full, but the string of money around his neck was not missing.
According to the average living standard of the people in Huilong Town and the general patriarchal social atmosphere, it is really rare to find a little girl like Li Duoduo who does not seem to be very rich in the family, but looks very favored.
And such a little girl with a money string around her neck to swagger through the market is even more not.
So along the way, Li Duoduo has also got a very high return rate.
But she didn't care about other people's eyes, she went straight to the stall selling all kinds of fruits and vegetables, and then squatted next to her, while nibbling on buns, while silently learning about the species knowledge of this world.
Radish, greens, potatoes, sweet potatoes, green onions, ...... Li Duoduo inspected the past one by one and found that not only did there be no ginger in this world, but there was not even Chinese cabbage!
Not to mention any imported products such as tomatoes and broccoli.
It seems that the standard of living in this world is at most equivalent to the Qin and Han dynasties, or even more backward than it.
So...... Li Duoduo had a flash of inspiration in his mind-
Could she start looking for new species that haven't yet emerged?
Then make a lot of money, transform into Bai Fumei, marry a rich and handsome, and finally reach the peak of life?
Li Duoduo instantly felt that life was very beautiful, this world was very pleasing to the eye, yes, God let her wear it to this backward world, and he must have sent her to save the world!
Li Duoduo fantasized about the scene of his overnight riches.
But fantasy is fantasy after all, and when fantasy is over, the real question arises - where does she go to find a new species?
