Chapter 100: The Great Purchase
"Miss, come and see, my green vegetables here are smart and big. And it's not expensive, just four dollars and two catties. ”
"Girl, her food is not good, my food here is the best, and the price is very fair, only three pennies and two catties."
"Girl, come and take a look, my eggs here are big and beautiful, and your skin is smooth and tender after you eat them."
"Girl, buy some meat and go back."
"Miss, this is my chicken, and it is sturdy and large. If you don't like it, Miss, I still have ducks here. ”
One by one, in order to earn more copper plates, one by one the stall owners beckoned to Gu Anning, waving and selling the things they had shared, just hoping to sell them to earn some copper plates to support their families.
Gu Anning was unmoved by their sales, her eyes looked around, and finally landed in front of an old woman with patches on her clothes.
There were a lot of large, juicy greens in front of her, and it seemed that they had never been able to sell well.
After all, there were many people selling greens, and she was thin and old, and she was wearing patched clothes, and the customers didn't like to buy anything from her when they saw her, and her greens were the most leftover of these stalls.
The most important thing is that she saw a thick vicissitudes and helplessness in the eyes of the old woman.
Because of this, she wanted to help the old woman.
"Old woman, I want all these vegetables, you can set a price."
Gu Anning squatted slightly in front of her and asked in a soft tone.
Hearing that someone was going to buy all her vegetables, she raised her head slightly to look at the little girl in front of her, who was only a teenager, with kindness in her cloudy eyes.
"Little girl, why don't you buy less?"
When Gu Anning heard this, she was slightly surprised in her heart, this old man's character is really good.
"Old woman, don't worry, I just have a banquet at home tonight, and these vegetables will not be wasted at all."
"I see, girl, then I'll help you tie up all these dishes and put them in the carriage." As she spoke, the old woman began to tie up the greens with her hands and feet, so as not to scatter them on the ground.
Just when she wanted to help carry these vegetables into the carriage, Gu Anning stopped her.
Today's carriage rental is the largest rental, and I have negotiated with the coachman to let him help carry things into the carriage, and I will give him some additional wages.
When the coachman moved the vegetables into the carriage, Gu Anning reached into the sleeve of her shirt, took out forty yuan from the space and put it in her hand through the barrier of the sleeve.
She bought these vegetables for two cents a pound, so she gave her a full forty cents.
"Girl, you give too much. Girl, you are kind enough to help me buy these vegetables, I don't need to be an old woman to sell vegetables here under the sun anymore, I am very grateful to you.
So, you just give nineteen cents, and you take back the rest. "The old woman is also a good woman, and seeing that this little girl is to help herself, she has greatly reduced the price.
Anyway, these dishes are all grown at home, and they are not worth much money at all.
But Gu Anning shook her head, said "This is what you deserve" and turned to leave.
Next, she came to the stall selling ducks, and the ducks in this stall were the most spiritual in the whole street. So, she stopped in front of this stall.
The stall is run by a husband and wife, and in a fenced circle around them, a flock of ducks is constantly moving around and crowing loudly, which simply adds to the lively atmosphere of the market.
Gu Anning came to the circle and selected two very large and sturdy ducks among these many ducks.
After paying the money, she stuffed the duck into the cage and put it in the carriage, and then she went to the pork stall where she had bought pork and pigs in the water, and directly bought eight catties of fat and lean pork belly, as well as several pig bones.
After paying the money, Gu Anning got into the ox cart and left the market street.
The dishes have been bought, and now there is only a little wine.
Gu Anning hadn't walked around these streets well, and she didn't know where the wine store was.
So she asked the coachman to take her. After all, the road here is familiar to those of them who work as coachmen, and it is completely possible to find it.
Sitting in a carriage full of things, Gu Anning pinched her eyebrows.
Just because the two big live ducks in the cage were constantly barking, she really had the urge to poison them.
"Girl, the wine shop has arrived."
At this moment, the coachman's voice came in from outside, and even the carriage stopped.
After getting out of the carriage, Gu Anning immediately smelled a strong smell of wine.
Looking at the liquor store in front of her, she took a step and walked in.
The little maid who was cleaning inside saw the guests coming, and it was a beautiful little girl, so he immediately put down the chicken feather sweep in his hand and came to greet him.
"Girl, do you want to buy wine?"
Gu Anning's eyes glanced at the somewhat old shop, and then nodded.
Sure that she came here to buy wine, the little maid immediately surrounded her and said, "Girl, you have come here to the right place." There is a wide variety of wines in this shop, and there is sure to be a little girl to your satisfaction. ”
Gu Anning ignored him, and just said lightly: "Let's take a look first."
When he saw that the guests wanted to take a look first, he closed his mouth.
The name of the wine is marked on the wine jar, and the price per catty is also marked.
After looking around, Gu Anning spent 100 yuan to buy two jars of ten-pound wine.
After leaving the wine store, Gu Anning went to the grocery store to buy all the spices needed in the house, and then bought some salt.
After buying all the things, Gu Anning reported an address to the coachman and asked him to drive back to Shuangxi Village.
Back at his door, the coachman took the initiative to lift the things on the carriage and moved them into the kitchen.
After all, he took the little girl's money, so he had to give the little girl to take care of it.
Watching him carry things in and out, and when he came back after the last trip, Gu Anning took out the copper plate that had been negotiated in advance and handed it to the other party.
The coachman took the brass plate and thanked him, then got into the front of the carriage and drove away.
Not long after, the news that Gu Anning had bought a lot of meat and came back immediately spread in the village.
Last night, the dozen or so villagers who helped thought that she was just talking casually about inviting you to dinner, but they didn't expect it to be true.
So, the women who were in the column last night left their homes one after another to come to Gu Anning's house to help.
After all, with so many things, she would definitely not be able to do it by herself.
