Today is the market day in the town, and I got up before dawn and quiet, and at this time, Anxin was already busy in the stove room.

Yesterday, in the second half, the two sisters tied Su Mu into a small bundle of chopsticks, the thickness of a finger, and a small bundle filled with a basket, plus a sack. Seeing that the second sister was cooking, Jing Jing carried the basket and sack to the wheelbarrow in the yard, and carried the roe deer up again, and carefully wrapped it with hemp rope. This wheelbarrow was borrowed from the village chief's house yesterday when he went to the village quietly. It's just for going to the town to catch the market today. Huaihua said that she should be her family's ox cart, but her things take up too much space, and Brother Qingshan, who gave Uncle Qian Bolt's family, must not want it. And there's no money for quiet. But asking her to ride in the car in vain delayed other people's business, and she didn't want to be quiet. There must be a sense of proportion in this way of life and work. This uncle's family is pointing to this ox cart to make money, where is she so cheeky to trouble others.

When I came into the house, breakfast was ready, and I had boiled some millet gruel for the leftover cornmeal tortillas from yesterday. Quietly ate two cakes and drank another bowl of porridge, and then walked to the town in the moonlight on the wheelbarrow. When he turned around and saw that the second sister was still standing in front of the door, he raised his voice and said: "Xin'er, you hurry into the house and lock the door from the inside, put the firewood knife in the house, no matter who comes to call the door, don't open it, wait for me to come back and talk about it, you know?" "It's too far from the village, and it's so close to the foot of the mountain, so it's quiet to be afraid of this big spring, and the wild animals on the mountain run down the mountain and hurt a few children. It seems that we have to get out of the yard as soon as possible, so that it can be more or less safe.

"Sister, don't worry, I know. You should also be careful on the road, don't rush to the road, if you are tired, take a rest."

"Okay, I see, you can go to the house quickly," he said quietly and pushed the cart into the night.

It was pitch black all around, and it was quiet to walk on the road to the town by the faint moonlight. For safety on the road, she pinned the dagger to her waist. Speaking of this dagger, there are also some origins, which were brought by my mother to defend herself when she fled, and later gave it to my father. The dagger was cold and shining, and it was unusually sharp. Quiet knew at a glance that this was a good dagger, and a good dagger that had seen blood.

Quietly pushing the wheelbarrow, walking with one foot deep and one foot shallow, the sky gradually brightened, and when the east side was white, he had to scold again, he had been walking for an hour, and at this time there were more pedestrians on the road in twos and threes. After walking for another quarter of an hour, I vaguely saw the weather-beaten city wall of Zhoujia Town.

Zhoujia Town is a big town, and the town is quite prosperous. At the corner of the street, you can see cloth villages, silver houses, pawnshops, blacksmith shops, restaurants, medical halls, grain stores, grocery stores, and various small stalls on the street, and so on. Judging from the face of the door, although the decoration is not prosperous, it is also antique and charming. Because it was early spring and the weather was still a little cold, there were not many people rushing to the market. Business at the shops on the street is a bit sluggish compared to the summer. Quiet didn't go to the snack shop, and went directly to the restaurant in the town, remembering that the original owner had come to the town with his parents a few times. Quietly followed the memory to the cyclamen restaurant.

This point restaurant has not opened yet, and quietly pushes the car around the back door. raised his hand and knocked on the small corner door, and after a while, a small head stuck out of it with a squeak: "Who are you looking for?" ”

"Little brother, I sell prey, do you accept it in the restaurant?" Quiet said to the people in the door

"Of course the prey was taken. It's just that what prey do you sell? Pheasants and hares don't want to, this season is very thin, and the meat is firewood. The man inside the door shook his head and said.

"It's a wild roe deer, a new one from yesterday. It's still fresh! ”

"Wild roe deer? Harvest... Wait, wait a minute. After saying that, he didn't care about the quiet, and hurriedly ran inside.

After a while, a fat man walked out. Seeing him wearing an apron quietly, thinking that he was a cook, he politely said to him: "You are the master chef of the restaurant, right?" This roe deer of mine was hunted in the mountains yesterday, and it is still fresh. As he spoke, he pulled the dead grass from the cart, revealing the robe inside.

The fat master stepped forward to take a look, nodded, and then said to the quiet: "Our restaurant collects game, the price has always been fair, this is just spring, the big wild things are relatively more expensive than usual, it is not easy to see you a girl's family, so let's do it, on weekdays, it is thirty-five wen a catty, I will give you forty wen a catty, how about it?" To sell or not to sell? ”

The price of this wild thing is quiet, after all, her father is hunting, and the roe deer that her father hunted in previous years can be sold for sixty wen a pound at this time. Of course, it was sold to the county seat, after all, this town cannot be compared with the county seat. Quiet calculated in my heart, and had a plan! This trade has to be bargained, so it is called a sale, so he said: "Master, you also said that it is only spring, and the game meat in this spring is the most difficult to beat, so this price is sixty wen a catty." He gestured to a six.

The fat master shook his head like a rattle, "No, no, it's too expensive." The county can't use this price, so let's add five or forty-five wen to you."

"Fifty-five Wen" quietly continued to bargain with the fat master.

"No, it's too expensive, so let's do it, I'll add two more to you, 47 Wen can't be more expensive, no matter how expensive it is, I don't want it, you can sell it to another family" The fat master said in a loud voice.

Quietly stretched out five fingers, looking very painful, and said to the fat master: "Fifty Wen, no matter how low it is, I won't sell it." ”

"Fifty is fifty, it's not easy to see you as a girl, I won't do it if I change someone else" The fat master also made a posture that I had suffered a loss.

The fat master called over and the young man just now and ordered: "Come to Xi, you have taken this girl to weigh, see how many catties this robe has?" ”

"Okay, master, I'll go." The young man who called for joy answered highly.

After weighing, a full forty pounds. After getting 22,000 copper plates, he quietly put two strings of copper plates into his arms and walked out of the restaurant happily.

Out of the restaurant, quietly pushed the car and walked to the Baicaotang on the street. This herb hall is the only medical clinic in the town. Everyone in and out of the town, who has a serious illness or a small pain, all come to this Baicaotang. The doctors here have good medical ethics and skills, and the medicine in the shop is also fair in price.

At this time, the medical hall had already opened, Jing Jing parked the wheelbarrow at the door, and entered the pharmacy alone, the young man in the shop saw Jing Jing coming in, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Girl, are you going to see a doctor or grab medicine?" ”

Quietly and politely smiled at the young man, and asked softly, "I took some medicinal herbs, and I want to ask if your medical center accepts them?" ”

"Medicinal herbs, harvested. What herbs are you selling? "I heard that it was a seller of medicinal herbs, and the young man was not unhappy.

Tranquility had a good impression of him, so he said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "It's Su Mu, that is, Hongben, also known as Su Su." Do you take it here? ”

"Oh, it's mahogany! Take, of course! Bring in as many as you can and go to the backyard with me to weigh them. ”

Quietly listening to the young man's words, he said happily, "There is a big back basket, plus a sack." ”

The young man's eyes widened in surprise, "There are so many, then I'll help you bring them in." With that, he walked quietly to the door.

The two of them took Su Mu to the backyard and weighed it, and there was another half of silver in his quiet arms.
