Chapter 8, Disrespect for Elders
"Come on, plus those just 40 cents." Soon the proprietress came out with peppercorns wrapped in oily paper bags.
Gu Tingcheng also paid, took the things and went to Cai Lane, although she didn't know where Cai Lane was, but Gu Ah didn know.
"Girl, do you want to buy groceries? I'm fresh with this dish, and I picked it this morning. A middle-aged woman shouted.
At this time, several of them were in the vegetable alley, living up to their name, here are the sellers of vegetables, as well as chickens, ducks and fish.
The smell is unpleasant, but the dishes on the floor look fresh and make you feel appetizing.
After a general look, it seems that there are so many kinds of dishes here. Aoi, weed, leek, woad, camelina
Aoi is winter sunlow; Herb is the young leaves of soybean seedlings, which is commonly known as bean sprouts; Leeks are leeks; Woad i.e. cabbage; Capsule, that is, shepherd's cabbage.
There are no potatoes, sweet potatoes, turnips, peppers, tomatoes, and carrots.
Looks like these things haven't been found yet, right? It stands to reason that this place where the north meets the north and the south should be relatively wealthy, and most of these things are available, but no one has sold them yet, which only means that they have not been discovered.
Things like tomatoes and carrots were imported from foreign countries in the old world, so it's understandable that they didn't have them. But there could be nothing else.
Although the dynasties of these two worlds are different, the evolutionary development should be roughly the same.
It seems that this time I have settled down, and I have to go to the mountains to find it.
"Auntie, may I ask, how do you sell these leeks?" She didn't like any other dish very much, but this one she loved very much.
Many people think that leeks have a strong taste and don't like to eat them, but she just likes them, whether they are used to steam buns or make dumplings, they are very delicious.
"A penny and a pound, girl, how much do you want? Don't worry, this dish is kept fresh, I only cut it this morning. "The aunt warmly recommended it, for fear that she would not buy it.
"Help me get five catties, by the way, does my aunt have any seeds for this leek?" She wanted to get some back and plant them in the yard, and heard that this leek was easy to survive.
"Yes, yes, but at home, I won't be able to get it for a while. If you want to buy it, the blind woman down there is selling it. The lady pointed to the entrance of the alley.
"Okay, you can tie this dish up for me first."
At this time, Gu Qingcheng was very interested, but the two little children were already a little listless.
This should be a woman's shopping talent, it's so tough.
Seeing these two like this, Gu Tingcheng bought good things, weighed some pastries, bought some meat, and then went to the rice noodle shop to order four bags of rice noodles and let people send them to the carriage.
also bought Gu Awu two sets of clothes and a few pieces of cloth, of course she didn't know how to make clothes. But you can go back and ask someone from the village to do it.
She knows how to design, but the clothes she designs can't be worn in this era.
According to the ancient saying, it is to show arms and legs, which is bad moral!
It's terrifying to think about, a group of people are besieging it!
Finally returned to the village around four o'clock in the afternoon.
The people in the village looked at the carriage and looked at it frequently. When she saw that it was the girl of the Gu family who was holding the carriage, she was immediately envious.
"Yo, the girl of the Gu family, you have bought a carriage, you see our township dwelling, you will catch a market in the future, you can take me by the way!" It was Aunt Zhang, who took the lead in hitting her door last time and was still stinking and shameless, and at this time she was blocking the carriage with a smiling face like a chrysanthemum.
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person with a hand
"Yes, our folks. It's just that Gu Qingcheng hadn't finished speaking, and the aunt hurriedly grabbed the words
"Really! Then you can take me for a ride next time. Suddenly it was even more joyful.
Seeing this, the onlookers were about to open their mouths and give them a ride, after all, if they want to bring them, why only bring Zhang Chunfang, not them! But before they could speak
"Of course it's true, after all, who doesn't do door-to-door business? I bought this carriage for business, you take Uncle Yang's ox cart for three cents, and my carriage is better than the ox cart? So I don't charge too much, if you want to take a carriage, five cents is fine. Gu Qingcheng smiled faintly, and looked at Zhang Chunfang still in front of the road. I'm not in a hurry to leave.
"You're robbing! Five pennies! The old lady won't give you a penny, and people will come and go for five dollars, and you will only go for one trip! Besides, the villagers still need money. ”
Zhang Chunfang's face was sprinkled, and the smile on her face had already collapsed.
"Hehe, Aunt Zhang, the villagers, who doesn't know who? There is no free lunch in this world, why should I pull you for free? The two of us don't usually have anything to do with each other, right? ”
An unceremonious slap in the face.
"You little girl, how do you talk? No respect for elders at all! Zhang Chunfang looked angry.
"Respect for the elders? What kind of elder are you? You are indeed older than me, but where are you? Do you have anything to do with me? There is a saying that people are shameless, the world is invincible, and your face is really disgusting. I really didn't expect that there would be such a shameless person as you in our village, it really surprised me. I just don't know if there are any others who are as thick-skinned as you. ”
As he spoke, he glanced at the onlookers, who all quietly took a step back.
It seems that if you stay away from Zhang Chunfang, it has nothing to do with them.
Gu Qingcheng still had a smile on his face, but the sarcasm in his eyes was just something that these people couldn't see.
"What a sharp-toothed little girl, who would dare to marry you like you? Don't you just take a car, if you don't want to, you don't want to, just your car, I'm still dizzy when I sit in it! With that, he scolded and walked away.
Watching her walk away, Gu Qingcheng just smiled, and then drove the carriage. And he went to his own house.
In the crowd watching the excitement, Chen Yun gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and looked at the carriage in the distance.
"It's here, get off!" He stopped his horse, led it to the plane tree in front of the door and tied it tightly, and then unloaded all the things he had bought today and moved in.
"Gu Wu, will you make a fire?" You must know that she is most annoyed by the fire, but there are only her and Xiaodouding in this family, and you can't let the seven-year-old Xiaodouding burn it.
Especially this little bean Ding has been raised since he was a child.
"Girl, I won't. But I can learn. "He's also ten years old, and although he's a little thin, he's definitely not weak.
After all, how can you be weak if you wander all year round, and even grab food with dogs in winter!
"Okay, then you see, first blow this fire fold and the fire will come out, and then light the easily burning firewood and put it in, plus other sticks. Got it? ”
Gu Qingcheng patiently taught, and Xiaodouding also watched from the sidelines.
"Yes." Gu Awu nodded definitively.
"Okay, it's okay, when the water is boiled, you go to the firewood room to wash it first and put on new clothes. We make dumplings to eat in the evening. Gu Tingcheng said in a very good mood.
"Hmm." Obediently nodded.
There was a knock on the door, and she didn't know who would knock on her door.
Open the door
"It's you, come in and sit down. I was going to send your basket over today, but I went to town today and just came back, so I'm really embarrassed. ”
It's the brother and sister who fell into the water yesterday, and there is a big boy, who is supposed to be their brother.
The boy looks very steady, and he should be older than her current body.
"Miss Gu, I am their eldest brother, and I am here to thank you. I came here in the morning, you weren't there, I heard Erya say, thanks to you yesterday, if you hadn't saved her, I'm afraid she would have been gone for a long time. ”
The man bowed to her very sincerely.
"It's okay, save someone's life, and it's better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter. Since I ran into it, it means that she should not die, and you don't have to thank me. ”
"Sister, thank you." This Fang Erya has a pair of transparent eyes, looking cute and small.
These brothers are quite good at raising children, but these clothes are not very good-looking. The original owner has a few good clothes that she hasn't thrown away, so if you improve it, you can wear it for this little girl.
"All right, you brothers don't stand here either, go in and sit down for a while. It just so happens that I have something to ask you. Gu Tingcheng warmly invited.
The two brothers were embarrassed to refuse, so they took the little girl and went in.
The water here was also boiled, and Gu Awu also carried the water to the firewood room.
Xiao Douding is still licking the rock sugar gourd alone. I bought a total of ten skewers, and ate three skewers on the way, Xiao Douding is now holding one skewer, and there are six skewers left, so Gu Tingcheng took three skewers and gave them to the brothers.
The rock sugar gourd here is more delicious than the modern ones, first of all, it is fresher, and then the sugar is not as thick as the modern ones, and the hawthorn fruit is also relatively large.
It's sweet and sour and appetizing.
"We don't want it, I'm here to thank you, I'm embarrassed to eat your stuff again." Brother Fang refused.
Fang Shi wanted to take it, but he saw his brother's eyes, so he didn't take it.
Fang Erya didn't dare to take it, she had always been timid, and if her brother didn't allow it, she would never move.
"What's so embarrassing about this, if you don't eat it, it will be broken, little girl, this is for you to eat, take it." Take one directly to Fang Erya.
But Fang Erya just stared at Gu Xueyan with warm eyes, and still didn't stretch out his hand. Seeing Gu Tingcheng bring the sugar gourd over, she hid back.
"Brother Fang, don't you mind if I call you that, right?" Gu Tingcheng was a little helpless, and also withdrew the hand given to the sugar gourd.
He turned his head to look up at this big brother of the Fang family.
"Don't mind." thought to himself, how dare he suggest, it's good if she doesn't dislike him.
"Look at Erya, it's so cute, why don't you give it to her if you want to eat it? I also bought more because it looked good, and I couldn't eat too much of this thing, it hurt my teeth and stomach. It's going to break anyway, so why don't you help me eat them? ”
Gu Qingcheng looked at the three brothers with a smile.
Fang Yuan looked at his younger brothers and sisters, then at Gu Qingcheng, and finally nodded.
"Thank you Miss Gu, why don't you thank Sister Gu soon." said to his younger siblings, looking at the happy smiling faces of his younger siblings,
What was revealed in his eyes was sadness, and he was blamed for being useless.
Seeing this, Gu Qingcheng didn't say much, after all, in this era, the inheritance and knowledge of these people had already determined their lives.
I only know how to work hard, and I don't know anything but the rest.
Some people may say that they read, but they can't eat enough, so how can they read? Coupled with all kinds of family activities, it is good to be able to live a good life.
