Chapter 18 Selling Fish in the County
The first time she entered the city, Mu Xue was very excited, full of curiosity and yearning, and Zhang Wei repeatedly told Mu Xue to follow her closely and stay vigilant when she met strangers, so as not to be caught and sold.
When I arrived at the county seat of Washi, it was still very early, Beijing time was past 8:5, and there were relatively few pedestrians on the passenger flow street, but there were more people who came to set up stalls one after another.
The red lady said: "There are more people who come to buy vegetables at about the same time, let's just sit here." ”
I found a place to sit at the entrance of Washi, and when there were no guests, Zhang Wei and Mrs. Hong had a chat with each other, and I knew a lot of things about the Mu family from Mrs. Hong's mouth, and I also knew that Mu Feng's brothers and sisters were struggling to live, the most important thing was that Mrs. Hong praised Mu Feng to the sky, and Zhang Wei, who listened, felt embarrassed.
It was almost nine o'clock, and finally the visitor came.
The man saw Zhang Wei's yellow carp and couldn't move his feet, the last fifty-five wen of the three yellow ladin transactions, the man also bought the big grass carp, the grass carp is a little more expensive than the carp crucian carp, eight wen a catty, the carp crucian carp is five wen a catty, the five catties of grass carp are also sold for forty wen, and the remaining one pound is more than two finger-sized crucian carp, crucian carp has many bones, and it is also common, so there are few people who buy it, and then several waves of guests came one after another, but the transaction was not successful.
So far, I have earned 95 wen from selling fish, and after throwing away the money from today's meeting fare and fishing basket, I have not only returned to my original capital, but also earned 39 wen.
In the middle of the day, the eggs brought by the red lady were also sold out, and Zhang Wei asked Mu Xue to follow the red lady, her bladder was in urgent need of relief.
Zhang Wei felt that the most difficult thing in ancient times was WC, because the toilet was really ...... Alas, it's really hard to put into words, and sometimes I'm really worried about falling into it, and I miss the modern flush toilet very much......
After solving the problem, Zhang Wei took advantage of the fact that no one got into the space to wash her hands with mineral water, and then packed two packs of persimmons, about thirty. This persimmon was given by the local villagers to thank Zhang Wei when she was in a village in Shaanxi Province for a free clinic, and Zhang Wei doesn't like to eat it very much, so there are still a lot of them in the space now!
Persimmons are also available in this era, so it's not surprising to take them out, and it's good to fill your stomach with a snack once in a while.
"Auntie, Xiaoxue, you've been waiting for a long time!"
"It's okay, it's okay, do you want to buy something? If you don't buy it, let's go back. The red lady smiled.
"Let's go back! Now that I haven't separated from my family, I can't buy anything. After speaking, Zhang Wei handed two persimmons to Aunt Hong, and then gave Xiaoxue two, "Pad your stomach first, there was an old lady just now who fell on the side of the thatched house, I carried her back, and she gave it to me." ”
Zhang Wei talked nonsense and explained the origin of the persimmons.
"I said, why do you have it? Persimmons are not cheap, twenty-five pounds a pound! "More than 20 pounds of things, for the farmer, it is really a luxury, the red lady is embarrassed to accept it, Zhang Wei has a good impression of the red lady, plus she is the soul of modern people after all, she has never suffered hardship, this thing, she doesn't feel precious, and she shoehorned it into the red lady.
The red lady accepted it, but she was reluctant to eat it, she ate one, sweet and glutinous, with an endless aftertaste, and even if she liked the rest, she was reluctant to leave it to her family.
……
In the afternoon, when Zhang Wei and Mu Xue came home, Mu Feng was not at home, Deng saw Zhang Wei carrying a wooden barrel, and there were a lot of small crucian carp in the barrel, although this kind of fish is difficult to sell, but for the common people who lack food and clothing, it is still a rare meat dish.
"Fish? Where did the fish come from? The boss of Deng's eyes widened, licked his lips, and was excited, "I can finally have a tooth sacrifice tonight!" ”
Zhang Wei glanced at her angrily: "The beauty you think!" ”
Seeing this, she reached out and took the barrel in Zhang Wei's hand: "Xiaowei, thank you!" Helped me carry it for so long, come to my house for a bowl of fish soup at night! ”
Deng Shi was anxious: "How is this possible?" This bucket is my family's. ”
Aunt Hong: "Deng Juan, don't be so stingy, don't you just borrow your bucket for use?" It's not made of gold, what's the matter! I borrowed your bucket, and I have to give you my fish? ”
When it was over, Aunt Hong instructed again: "Xiaowei, remember to come and fish soup, don't be polite to Auntie." "After that, the red lady has already entered the house, and she has fish in the water... Pour them into your own bucket together.
Deng watched the fish fly away, that gas!
Zhang Wei didn't bother to take care of her, Mu Feng, Mu Yun and Mu Yu were not at home, she took Mu Xue, the two of them washed and scrubbed the house inside and out, and cleaned it up thoroughly, don't look at it as just two bedrooms, but there are many people and young children live, usually not pay attention to it at all, there is no sense of hygiene, the whole house is dirty, clean up the two houses, Zhang Wei feels much harder than pharmaceutical.
