Chapter 11: What is it?
"Before I got married, I secretly saved ten taels of silver, and I spent part of it to treat my leg injury, so as not to attract their attention, I borrowed all the money for the wedding dowry." Feng Yuchen pursed his lips and explained.
Hearing this, Tong Xiaowu laughed, I didn't expect Feng Yuchen to still be a person who knows how to plan and have a black belly, too, if he didn't have a black belly, he would have been calculated to death by those people a long time ago, not bad.
He continued: "Our family only owes Brother Fu Lin one or two silvers outside, and nothing else is owed, and the mayor only owes money to this broken house, which you have just given, and you can use the money." ”
Feng Yuchen looked at the woman in front of him, her eyes lit up, and she looked at herself blankly, the feeling of being watched made him feel as if he was also shining.
After a long time, Tong Xiaowu nodded heavily, she suddenly realized something, and couldn't help asking: "You are obviously rich, why are you starving, why don't you use this money to buy some food?" ”
"I bought it, but I lost it at home, and I don't ...... it anymore."
Tong Xiaowu understood everything, she remembered her bamboo basket and helped Feng Yuchen to the outer room
"By the way, I'm going to show you this...... You see, what is this? ”
Feng Yuchen looked at the small potato-like thing in the bamboo basket and shook his head, "I haven't seen it, what is it?" ”
"This is called gastrodia, it is a medicinal herb for treating headaches, strokes, and convulsions, it is very valuable, and I also caught three fish today, I wanted to go to the town this morning to have a look, but they mixed it up.
I'd like to go to town in the afternoon and see if I can sell these? We want to live a good life, and we will be superior people in the future, and see who still looks down on us, so we must work hard. ”
Tong Xiaowu said with a radiant expression, the corners of Feng Yuchen's mouth curled, and he reached out and rubbed her hair: "Okay, remember to buy a new dress, and go home early whether you sell it or not." ”
"Hmm!" Tong Xiaowu nodded, she had thought about it, if she sold it for money, she would give him some bone medicine and let him take care of his body as soon as possible, and no one would dare to bully them like today at that time.
At noon, after the two of them simply ate some wild vegetable soup, Tong Xiaowu went on the road.
Liu Er's carriage in the village is specially designed to pick up people to the town, and it costs two cents to take the carriage, if you wait for the ox cart from the neighboring village to pass by, you can spend one penny, but the ox cart is much slower than the carriage, and you have to wait.
Originally, there weren't many people who went to the town in the afternoon, but Liu Er needed to go to the town to pick up those who went in the morning, so he went again.
After Tong Xiaowu handed over the two pennies to Liu Second-hand, he took a carriage to the town.
The township to which Shanshui Village belongs is named Ningyue Town, which has its own famous sentence: "Ningshui is a hundred years long, and the wind dews the ancient moon", which shows how beautiful Ningyue Town is a place.
Although it is far away from the county seat, because of the existence of Ningshuihe Town, there are many tourists who come here, and now it is a peaceful and prosperous era, people live and work in peace and contentment, and there are naturally more people who come out to play, which brings a lot of economic income to Ningyue Town.
The carriage stopped in the most prosperous street, and Liu Er instructed everyone that the carriage would wait at Ningshui Bridge in two hours, and if they couldn't get in the carriage, they could only stay in the town overnight and go back at noon tomorrow.
Tong Xiaowu remembered the time, and began to walk around the town with a basket on her back.
Although Ningyue Town is not small, there is only one main street in the most prosperous city, and there are households next to it, and the Ningshui River passes through the town, bending through several bends and flowing out from the east.
Although there is only one main street, there are many people coming and going, and it is very lively.
Let's just say that on this main street, there are vegetable and fruit sellers, utensils weaving, rice shops, grain and oil shops, grocery stores, restaurants and inns, and the largest restaurant in the middle of the street.
The sound of the big drum in the restaurant was empty, the tune was tactful, and the voice was sad, as if he was singing some kind of story like an unjust case.
There was an old woman on the opposite side who was buying rouge gouache, Tong Xiaowu walked over and looked at it seriously, there were small boxes on the stall, very exquisite, and some fine powders and yellows, dai powders and the like, but I don't know if it's good or not?
"Girl, let's have a box of rouge, Yonghe's very easy to use." The old woman picked up a box of rouge and sold it.
Tong Xiaowu really wanted to try it, but her current situation did not allow it, she shook her head, and walked towards the other side of the place full of vegetable sellers, next to the vegetable sellers, this fish is easy to sell.
She put the basket down, took out the hay and spread it on the ground, and placed the three fish on the hay.
"Girl, why don't you come early when you sell fish, there are many people buying fish in the morning." An eldest sister shopping for vegetables on the side spoke.
Tong Xiaowu nodded, "Well, I will definitely come in the morning next time, there is a special situation today." ”
The other party didn't understand what the word "special circumstances" meant, shook his head and continued to sell his own vegetables.
Watching people come and go, Tong Xiaowu stood there without speaking for a long time, and no one stopped in front of her stall.
At this moment, she was very nervous, she had never set up a stall, she only had three fish, or dead fish, she didn't know if she could sell them?
And according to the current situation, her fish really can't be sold, what should she do?
"Ahem...... Sell fish......" Tong Xiaowu tried to shout, attracting attention can attract business opportunities, she doesn't believe that such a big Ningyue Town, no one buys fish in the afternoon?
Although she mustered up the courage to shout, her voice was like stuck in her throat, her eyes did not dare to look at the passers-by, she had the feeling that the people on the street were looking at her, and she longed to find a crack in the ground now.
"Girl, your voice is too small!" On the other hand, the eldest sister laughed, and saw that this girl was a novice and had never sold anything.
Tong Xiaowu nodded, clenched her fists, closed her eyes, and tried to shout loudly: "Sell fish, wild grass carp ......"
"Hahaha...... "Whose fish are not wild, are they still grown by their own family?" ”
Yes! This is ancient times, those ornamental fish are still farmed, this kind of grass carp is from the wild at all, so the statement of pure natural wild fish does not work here at all.
Tong Xiaowu thought about it carefully, cheered up and shouted again, this time she spelled:
"Don't miss it when you pass by, sell fish, sell fish, what are you going to eat tonight? Sweet and sour fish? Steamed fish? Garlic fish? Sauerkraut fish? No matter what kind of fish, my weedfish ......"
"Grass carp grass carp ......"
Sure enough, everything is difficult at the beginning, shouting the first sentence, you can shout the second sentence smoothly, shouting the second sentence, and you can talk to the guest effortlessly.
