Chapter 51: Every man has his own way
It's just that this world is chaotic, and I don't know when it will hit this side,......
Thinking of this, Chen Shuangchuan couldn't help but feel a little gloomy, the Chen family left, Chen Caichun also followed his mother-in-law's family last month, and even He Jinbao left, always feeling that she was staying in this place, and there were not so friendly eyes on all sides, even Chen Shuangchuan would feel a little panicked, and he was always worried about the future.
Thinking here, Chunyan over there really wanted a chicken, and was concentrating on bargaining with the vendor, and the two slowly grinded from seven copper, five coppers and four coppers, and Chen Shuang couldn't help but be surprised, and stepped forward and asked: "How many hens are there, I want to lay eggs." ”
"The hen is counted according to two catties, the usual fifteen copper catties a catty, and one always has three or four catties. The ...... who laid the eggs," the vendor looked through the two cages of chickens for a long time, and then brought one out, and said with a little embarrassment, "Yes, yes." ”
Chunyan used to work in the farm, and she was angry when she saw the hen, and she scolded: "You peddler looks honest, how can you deceive people, this is obviously an old hen, even if you buy it back, you won't be able to lay eggs for a few days, don't come to coax us!" ”
Does Chunyan still watch chickens? Chen Shuangchuan was really a little surprised, and before she could say anything, she was dragged away by Chunyan angrily, while saying, "Let's buy it for another stall." ”
This year, most of the chickens are raised by themselves, or collected by hawkers from farmers, and the hens that lay eggs are cherished by each family, and the number is very small, and the frost comes a little late, and they can't find the one they like, so they turn around, and unconsciously turn to the hawker stall that they first see.
The peddler was also happy to see it, and quickly picked up a hen and shouted to Chunyan: "Little girl, come and see how this one is, you will be cheaper." ”
Chunyan glanced at it and didn't speak, but it was okay to see that look, so Chen Shuangchuan quietly pulled her and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"It's better to look older than those ones."
It is estimated that there is no better hen here, Chen Shuangchuan thought, if he bought a chick to raise, he felt that the time was too slow, so he asked: "How much is this?" ”
"Okay." The peddler quickly tied the chicken's feet with a twine, hung it upside down with a scale hook, and beat the scales to the fullest, saying, "Four catties and three taels, and fifteen copper and one catty, a total of sixty-four copper and five iron baht, even if sixty-four copper is good." ”
I really haven't bought vegetables for a long time, and when I heard it, Chen Shuangchuan was startled and said: "Why is this chicken so expensive, didn't it use to be up to eleven coppers before?" ”
"What this wife said, eleven copper was a long time ago, and now what is not expensive in this world, just say that this chicken, last month it rose all the way to twenty copper a catty, people want to buy it but can't buy it, fifteen copper is already a very cheap price, or for the sake of your girl will look at the chicken, a big concession." The peddler had a clever mouth, and he didn't even breathe after a long speech.
Quickly calculated in his heart, Chen Shuangchuan knew that what the vendor said was not false, the price in the market was basically this price, this chicken always looked like there were always a few months of eggs to lay, buy it back and raise it well, you can't lay eggs, and the meat can't always run. After making up his mind, he nodded and said, "I will send two more chicks." ”
"Ouch, my wife, this little chick will cost two coppers to buy it, our small business can't afford to give it away like this!"
The peddler complained bitterly, but Chunyan glared at him regardless of it, and said: "The big man is so ink, if he can't do it, just say a word, take it away, if he can't leave, say it quickly." ”
Chen Shuangchuan covered his mouth and smiled there, he really couldn't see it in normal times, but he didn't expect Chunyan to be so sharp-tongued, he only said that the vendor was speechless, and begged for mercy and said that he had sold it.
Chunyan then took the hen, and picked two chicks to hold in her arms, as if she really liked it, and looked at Chen Shuang with a smile and paid the money.
After walking around again, Chen Shuangchuan bought some rice noodles and other commonly used foods, and then went to the money village and exchanged the rest of the money for silver buns.
Chunyan also asked a little puzzled: "This copper baht is used well, what do you want to exchange for silver buns, and give them greed for nothing." ”
The silver buns are used less, and the money village has to charge some additional fees in exchange, so Chunyan has the saying that the money village is greedy. Chen Shuang didn't explain that she was worried about the war, and the silver bun was light and easy to escape, so she just shook her head at Chunyan, and said that she would exchange it for New Year's gifts, but she made up her mind in her heart that all the things that could be exchanged in the future would be slowly exchanged for silver buns.
When I came, I came with money empty-handed, but when I came back, I had a hand of chicken and a hand of rice, and there was a bag of noodles on my back. Fortunately, when I was at the city gate, I met an ox cart on the way back, and I gave a few copper baht, so I took it with me and drove back in a slow ox cart.
As soon as he got home, Chen Shuangchuan didn't wait to sit down, so he washed the tank with water, and directly soaked the rice he had just bought, saying that he was going to make rice cakes, and Chunyan was very surprised.
Here, Chen Shuangchuan was secretly preparing not to talk about it, but the atmosphere of the He family was getting heavier and heavier, and even Mrs. He, who didn't know why she gritted her teeth against Chen Shuang, didn't have any thoughts for the time being.
In September, the county town came out with another imperial list, Fengtai Emperor Wu Xuan died violently, and the seventh son of the original emperor, Wu Ye, who was only three years old, ascended the throne and was called Baotai.
It's not even a year since the last time Wu Xuan ascended the throne.
During this time, Zhu Ling's father got the news through his younger brother who was in the household department, and he passed it over in a hurry, "King Lian is going to send troops to Jiangzhou, leave quickly!" ”
As soon as he got the news, He Jinfu was immediately anxious, and hurriedly discussed with Master He, moved, and moved immediately.
Due to He Jinfu's insistence before, the He family has actually quietly made preparations for moving, and everything that can be handled has been dealt with, and people have been arranged to watch those who can't be handled, so when they decided to move, it was actually very smooth, but when they arrived at Mrs. He, they encountered huge resistance.
"If I don't move, my old man will die here!" If you calculate carefully, Mrs. He is seventy-one years old this year, although his body has always been tough, but when the war with Emperor Shun broke out, the old man was stimulated, and he turned his back on his anger in a hurry, and raised it for a long time before he came back.
It's just that He Jinbao ran away from home later, and Master He's illness had just recovered, and he fainted again, and his legs and feet were a little inconvenient when he woke up.
