Winter is boring and long, and it will probably not be until April next year, when the warblers and swallows dance, that the whole winter will be over.

It's mid-November, and it's about to usher in the Winter Solstice Festival.

In the village that had not been lively for a long time, the laughter of children was heard again, many pedestrians on the road were chattering, and the people of Jiangxi and their family were also wrapped in thick cotton jackets and ready to go out.

The old man pushed out the flatbed cart and let Jiang Xi and Li sit on it, and he and Yuan Xiu pushed it.

It is rare that Jiangxi enjoys the treatment of a little princess.

Except for the old lady, the whole family went to town, and today was the last market before the winter solstice. Waiting for the next market, it is estimated that it will be the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month of the previous year.

This winter, there are almost no people in the town, although the market has not stopped a few days ago, but many businesses are closed.

Today, taking advantage of the arrival of the winter solstice, everyone who sells and buys things has rushed over, and if they don't sell, they will wait for the next time, and if they don't buy something, it will be difficult to buy.

Jiangxi's rice and noodles are almost gone, because the family had no land last year, and her family couldn't find a pound of corn and sorghum that other people's families had. This time, I bought it with the intention of buying back all the rations for the remaining months of this winter.

In addition, while there is still the sun during this time, Jiangxi also wants to dry some bacon jerky.

In her previous life, her grandmother was from Sichuan, and she could eat a lot of bacon and sausages every year, and the family feasted on it.

Now that I'm here, I don't know if it's because the people in the town are poor or not so traditional, and no one here knows how to put sausages and bacon. If you don't eat these lap-mei in winter, how can you call it winter.

Fortunately, she knows the principle of making bacon and sauce meat, sausages are not easy to load, bacon is not difficult, how can it be loaded more.

Therefore, her purpose today is to buy a few hundred catties of meat back.

Li also wanted to buy some more materials and cotton, the old man's quilt in their room was a little thin, and she got up last night and heard the old lady coughing in the middle of the night.

As for Yuan Xiu, he was purely here to work as a coolie. He didn't have anything to buy, Jiang Xi and his family were all properly arranged, and they took care of him as a family member.

When they arrived in town, they went about their own business, and Li went to the grocery store, bought some dried mushrooms and other dried groceries, and bought a few bundles of vermicelli, and then went to the tailor's shop to choose the ingredients and cotton.

The old man and Yuan Xiu pushed the flatbed cart to the rice store to buy sorghum rice and rice, and also bought a lot of corn.

Jiangxi only went to Zhang Butcher, Zhang Butcher sold meat in the town every day, Jiangxi told him before, let him keep more for himself.

Today, Zhang Butcher killed three pigs and put them up for sale, the thinnest of which was almost unattended, and only occasionally some merchants in the town came to buy two catties.

As soon as he saw Jiangxi, Zhang Butcher, who was cutting fat for others, suddenly became interested and waved at her violently.

"You girl, I've been waiting for you for a long time, look at this pig, what's going on, it's not bad!"

While weighing meat for others, Zhang Butcher stretched his chin and pointed to the thin pig and said to Jiang Xi.

Jiang Xi glanced at it, satisfied, very satisfied.

This bacon just can't be too fat, it has to be lean and fat, so that it is delicious. She didn't want to bite down and get a greasy mouthful.

"Okay! Weigh them first, and then call mine. ”

She wants a lot, and it's lean meat that others hardly buy, so there's no need to worry.

"Uncle Zhang, there are still a lot of people on your side, I'll go to the market first to have a look, and I'll come over later, you can keep the meat for me, or the amount I said!"

"Delat, keep it for you, the girl will come over early in a while!" Zhang Butcher took the money, turned over his hand and picked up another piece of oil to another person, saying that the business was very good.

Jiangxi walked around the vegetable market and saw people selling cabbage and greens, which were not very good, and some were even unripe. However, due to the heavy snowfall this year, the seller probably thought that these things would not survive anyway, so he got them all and sold them.

The greens are small, green, and have soil on their roots.

The moment she saw it, Jiang Xi suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to plant vegetables this year, no wonder she felt that she had forgotten something, but she never remembered it.

This green vegetable looks like it has just been dug out of the ground, and if it is planted now, it should be able to grow again, right?

Thinking of this, Jiang Xi stepped forward and asked the price.

"Why do you sell these vegetables?"

Most of them go to buy cabbage, after all, the cabbage looks almost ripe, and the greens are still far behind.

Even the vegetable seller was stunned for a moment, and then asked in surprise, "What do you want greens?" ”

Jiang Xi nodded, "Yes, green vegetables, how to sell them?" ”

"This ......" The vegetable seller and his daughter-in-law glanced at each other, the two discussed, and his daughter-in-law said: "Even if you have a penny, if you want it, I will help you cut off your head." ”

As she spoke, she picked up a kitchen knife and prepared to cut the rhizome.

"Hey, don't cut it!" Jiang Xi said anxiously, "I don't need to cut my head, I want this." ”

Taking out the big basket in his hand, Jiangxi said to the two couples: "I want all these vegetables, count how many you have, help me pack them, and I will give money." ”

She took out a small money bag from her chest, which was embroidered by Li for her, a green bag with a piece of ink bamboo embroidered on it, which looked very delicate.

Jiangxi also has a money bag, which is filled with some fine silver, but just to buy a few vegetables, she doesn't need to use silver to pay the bill, the copper coins in this money bag are enough.

Someone next to her watched her pay for vegetables, and they were all talking, and a grandmother even opened her mouth to persuade her: "I said little girl, don't look at this green vegetable as cheap as you buy it, you can buy it, this thing is not ripe, you can't eat it if you buy it back, let's buy Chinese cabbage." Otherwise, you will definitely be scolded by adults when you go back. ”

Jiang Xi raised his head and smiled at Grandma: "Thank you, but I didn't buy this dish to eat, it was for other purposes." ”

When the grandmother saw that she insisted on buying it, she could only sigh.

Jiangxi was carrying a heavy big basket, and as soon as he got out of the vegetable market, he met the old man and Yuan Xiu who had bought rice and noodles.

"Master, have you all bought it?" She hurriedly walked over, and Yuan Xiu, who had just carried the rice noodles to the flatbed car, hurried over again and helped her lift the big basket.

"Xi'er, why did you buy so many vegetables?"

The corners of Jiang Xi's mouth hooked up a smile: "Keep it secret, I'll tell you when I go back." ”

Yuan Xiu smiled helplessly, after getting along these days, his relationship with Jiangxi has improved a lot, and even the title has changed from Jiangxi to Xi'er.

"Didn't you say you were going to buy meat, let's go, let's push the cart over now. My aunt had already bought something just now and was on her way back. ”

"Okay, let's go."

The old man and Yuan Xiu pushed the flatbed cart, and Jiang Xi walked happily in front of him, heading towards Butcher Zhang.

At this time, there were many fewer people in front of the meat stall, and Jiang Xi was about to pass when he suddenly heard a noisy sound in front of him.

"Why can't this meat be sold, this pile, to say the least, is two or three hundred catties, I don't believe anyone can eat it. Don't talk nonsense, you have to weigh me fifty pounds today, or I'll smash your meat stall! ”

The person who spoke was a woman dressed in satin, who looked to be twenty-four or fifteen years old at most, and who looked good, and had a silver hairpin stuck in her head. If it weren't for the fact that her tone was too strong, she just stood there, and she looked a little like Miss Everybody.

The woman talked for a long time, but when she saw that the butcher Zhang was still indifferent, she kept saying that the meat was kept for other families, so she simply became ruthless, crossed her waist with one hand, and pointed at the butcher Zhang with the other.

"Good, good! You can bear it, you are a meat seller, and you dare to be embarrassed. Come on, lift his stall for me! ”

As soon as the woman's voice fell, two people who looked like family members jumped out from behind, one of them still holding a stick in his hand, and was about to smash it towards the butcher's meat stall.

"Wait!"

Jiang Xi opened his mouth sharply and ran over quickly.

The two family members were frightened by her life's drinking, and they all stopped their movements and turned to look at her.

The woman's eyes were also swirling around Jiang Xi.

"I thought who it was, just a little girl, what, you still want to intercede for this common man who disobeys me?"

The woman spoke highly, especially the one who pleaded with the common people, and thundered the rivers and streams to the outside and the inside.

"Your family is an official?"

Subconsciously, she asked, after all, this woman's shrewd appearance doesn't look like an official lady or an official lady.

The woman's face froze, and she quickly puffed up her chest.

"My husband is a rare talent to find in this town!"

Talented lady? I can't think I'm superior.

It's just a showman, and it's still early to become an official.

At this time, Zhang Butcher sneered: "I thought you were a big man, and you dared to be powerful in this town." The person in your family was only admitted this year, just the girl next to you, her father has been admitted to Xiucai for several years, and he is still a whole round younger than the one in your family. Pretend to be big in front of others, and you are embarrassed. ”

The woman's high spirit, after Zhang Butcher's words, suddenly withered like an eggplant beaten by frost.

"You...... Don't talk nonsense, I don't believe ......"

"If you don't believe it, you can just find someone to ask, there are a lot of people who know this girl here."

Zhang Butcher said, suddenly saw the old man who was pushing the cart over, pointed at him, and said: "Look, even Xiucai's father is here, which one is not higher than you, Xiucai's stepfamily." ”

When the woman said that she was the lady of Xiucai, Zhang Butcher suddenly reacted, no wonder he didn't know this woman before, I heard that the old boy who was admitted to Xiucai this year had just married a stepfamily not long before his death.
