Chapter 24: Buying Chickens
The two of them soon came to the market, and the market was already lively, there were all kinds of sales, and the whole street was full of all kinds of things, as long as you wanted, you could buy basically anything.
In ancient times, materials were still relatively scarce, and although there were many things to sell, they were divided into several categories, and if you wanted to sell things, they were basically sold at a price.
"Daughter-in-law, buy some eggs, the doctor doesn't mean that your body is losing a lot, and eating eggs can make up for it." Walking into the bazaar, I saw one stall after another, and at the stall selling eggs, Zhong Dashan stopped, turned his head and said to Jin Mo.
"Don't worry, let's see if there are any laying hens for sale." Jin Mo looked at the eggs on the stall, which were quite fresh, but she was still worried about laying laying hens in her heart, so she could only temporarily refuse Zhong Dashan's proposal.
"Okay then." The daughter-in-law said to take a look first, then let's take a look. There's a lot of time anyway.
Giving up the egg stall, the two of them went shopping again, walking and stopping, but they didn't find what Jin Mo wanted, but the little chick saw several of them for sale.
"Xianggong, let's go back and buy some chicks and eggs." Jin Mo looked up at Zhong Dashan with a disappointed expression, and pulled him to find a stall selling chicks and eggs.
"Sell hens, sell hens."
As soon as the husband and wife walked a few steps, they heard the sound of selling, Jin Mo changed his lost expression and pulled Zhong Dashan to walk in the direction of selling.
"Auntie, how do you sell this hen?" Jin Mo came to the stall, squatted down, looked at the hen, and asked.
"This little lady, my hen has just laid eggs not long ago, if it weren't for the family's urgent money, I wouldn't have taken it out and sold it, twenty yuan a piece. You can see for yourself, my chickens are well raised. "Most of the clothes on the eldest lady's body are patches, but they are very clean, the eyes are particularly clean, and they are full of desire.
"Xianggong, what do you think?" Jin Mo looked at Zhong Dashan, wanting to see what he said, she hadn't fully figured out the price in ancient times, and she didn't know if twenty wen was expensive.
"Auntie's chickens are very good. The price is also fair. "It's good, it's good, Zhong Dashan will say whatever he wants.
"Hmm. Auntie, how many do you have? She is also very sure of these chickens, she is puzzled by the price, but now the minister said, that is to say, this lady did not have too high a price because she continued to use money, and most of the people in ancient times were simple and kind.
"Five, are you sure the little lady wants them?" When the eldest lady heard Jin Mo's words, she couldn't believe it, she came every day for the past two days, but no one wanted to buy it, but she didn't expect to let herself run into it today.
"Yes, both. The public gives money. Jin Mo smiled and said.
"Thank you, thank you." The eldest lady was really about to cry with joy, she was waiting for the money to save her life, and the old man's medicine was gone.
Zhong Dashan hurriedly handed a hundred copper plates to the eldest mother, "Auntie, you have put it away." ”
"Oops. I'll give you this chicken coop. The eldest lady got the money and left the bazaar in a hurry.
"Daughter-in-law, do you still want to buy anything?" Lifting the two chicken coops, he turned his head and asked Jin Mo.
"No, let's go back." Five chickens, each with five eggs a day, you can have eggs to eat every day in the future, and you don't have to save it, she has two Zhong Dashan three, and this day is comfortable.
"Are you hungry, why don't you buy a few buns and eat them on the way." Grandpa's ox cart didn't go back so early, and he ate early in the morning, but I was afraid that I would be hungry before I went back.
"Then buy a few more." Jin Mo originally wanted to say that she would buy a few, but then she thought about it, let's buy a few more, after seeing the doctor, Zhong Dashan will definitely not let her go back, it is impossible for her to eat alone, how to say that she is also Zhong Dashan's grandfather, and he is an elder, how can he not be filial.
"Okay." Zhong Dashan grinned, he had already guessed why his daughter-in-law let him buy more, his daughter-in-law was so good.
After buying six meat buns, it was a steamed bun, and the husband and wife came to the gate of the town, and there were already people waiting for them to sell their things by the ox cart.
"Dashan, you are so rich, how can you buy so many chickens?" And it's a hen, a hen costs twenty yuan, which is equivalent to a day's wages outside, and he is really willing to do it.
"My daughter-in-law is not in good health, and I happened to see a chicken that sold eggs, and laid eggs for my daughter-in-law to replenish her body." Zhong Dashan's words mean something, he can't hide it when he buys so many chickens, the people in the old house are used to having no face and no skin, as long as there is some benefit, they will definitely be stared at like a fly, he is asking them to pass the word, and also to tell them not to come to fight the autumn wind, the chickens are useful.
And this morning's words, it's not fake, but what about the biological father? He should be filial piety will not be less, no more is impossible, divided into two families, and others can't find his fault.
"It's time to make up for it, see how thin your daughter-in-law has become."
"Mountain, you really hurt people." In order to make up for his daughter-in-law's body, he bought five chickens in one go, why didn't he think about marrying his own girl, look, how comfortable life is. It is estimated that this Dashan daughter-in-law doesn't have to do any work at home, she has let Zhong Dashan take care of it, what's wrong with the scar on her face, marrying is not a beauty pageant, it's true that she can be considerate, hey, I missed it, I missed it.
"My daughter-in-law." Zhong Dashan didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his daughter-in-law at all, but he was honored.
During the chat, the time passed quickly, and when it came to the agreed time, there were still people who had not come, so Zhong Lin did not wait any longer, and took the ox cart back to Zhongjia Village.
When they arrived at the entrance of the village, everyone paid and returned home with large bags and small bags.
Zhong Dashan and Jin Mo paid, Zhong Dashan waited aside with a chicken coop, and Jin Mo handed a paper bag in his hand to Zhong Lin, "Grandpa, take this back to eat." ”
Afraid that the old man would not accept it, after the couple gave the things, they ran away.
"Dashan, you take it back, Dashan~~" Zhong Lin wanted to catch up, but his footsteps were not as good as the young man, and he was directly left behind, and soon he couldn't see the two of them.
"Dad, I didn't catch up." Fang Shi looked at the ox cart waiting for his father-in-law, and when he saw that the things were still in his hands, he knew that he definitely hadn't caught up.
"It's so fast that I'm tired from chasing. Let's go back. "Stuffed the paper bag to the eldest daughter-in-law, and drove the ox cart home.
"And this thing?" Fang asked hesitantly.
"Since it's a piece of kindness from Dashan's daughter-in-law, let's take it back and share it with everyone." It's definitely not okay to send it back, Dashan didn't say that his daughter-in-law was not in good health, so it would be good to send some eggs over, "Go back, you send them some eggs." ”
"Yes, Dad." Fang Shi responded.
