Chapter 9 Bazaar Investigation

Early the next morning, Ziqing felt that she was woken up in her sleep, as if she was in a big vegetable field, she sat up in a daze, and found that Zifu had gotten up and Zilu was still asleep. Zifu touched the top of her head and stuffed her into the quilt, "Qingqing, let's sleep again." Freeze carefully. My brother is going to school, listen to my mother at home, don't run around in the bazaar today. ”

"Got it, big brother." As soon as Zifu left, Ziqing woke up Zilu, and she went to Shen's room first, and found that Zeng Ruixiang had left, and Shen was getting dressed to send her uncle Shen Jianren's family. Ziqing and Shen came out together when they met the old lady Zeng and the little sister-in-law Xiao came out of the room, and everyone walked to the wooden room together, Xiao said that he would not let Shen go out, and it was not fun to blow the wind.

"Yumei, go back to the house, live a good life, your little brother will feel sorry for you, don't let him worry. When the Chinese New Year comes, we will bring the children back, Ziqing, when the market is over, my aunt will give you a few copper plates to buy something you want to eat. Ziqing was thinking that her mother's name was quite nice, and Xiao Shi put a few copper plates in her padded jacket pocket. Ziqing was excited, and she touched money for the first time.

Peng's took her eldest son Xiao Fusheng, second son Xiao Jiansheng and Xiao Xiuying to be busy with business, and hurriedly said hello, Xiao Xiushui and Shen Wenyu muttered something together, "Ziqing, I'll take you to the street when the eldest sister leaves." Feelings: Xiao Xiushui still remembered to buy food for Ziqing.

Ziqing and Xiushui sent them to the door, it turned out that Shen Jianren's family had their own donkey cart, and it was very convenient to go back and forth. When Shen Jianren and the others left, Xiushui secretly took two freshly baked baked cakes and was about to take Ziqing out, "Second sister-in-law, I'll take Ziqing out to play, don't worry, it's at the door." ”

"This kid hasn't eaten yet, and his hair hasn't been combed, like a little madman." Shen said.

When Xiao Xiushui heard this, he dragged Ziqing to the hall, and he went into the house and took a comb out, but he didn't know what to tie up, so he combed a bag and bun. "It's really much better-looking, your mother won't have time to comb your hair in the future, so you come to me, I'm pretty good."

Ziqing agreed, and at first glance, Xiao Xiushui was a stinky and beautiful child, and she herself was also a baotou, with two more silk flowers made of pink satin.

Finally arrived at the bazaar, Ziqing wanted to see what kind of agricultural products were there and what the prices were, but Xiao Xiushui took her straight to the snack, it seems that she is also a foodie. Most of the things Ziqing couldn't name, and she didn't dare to speak easily. Ziqing tasted a lot of things, most of them were made of glutinous rice, there were soybean flour fillings and red bean powder fillings, sesame fillings, and no fillings, fried into a circle, wrapped in white powdered sugar, sweet, really delicious. At this time, the sugar industry seems to be relatively developed, and it is not expensive, most of them are two or three coins per penny, and two people are full for four or five cents. I bought another two pennies of fried pumpkin seeds to take home.

Ziqing didn't want to go back like this, "Auntie, I haven't had enough fun, let's go over there and have a look." ”

"Okay, my mother also asked me to buy some vegetables to go back, they don't have time to come out." So the two came to the agricultural products hand in hand, and Ziqing found that they were all poor people who grew some vegetables or eggs at home and exchanged them for a few pennies. There are small cabbage, yellow teeth white, yellow teeth white similar to the northern Chinese cabbage, but the leaves are yellow, basically a penny a catty, chrysanthemum, parsley, chives two pennies a catty, eggs a penny, and a kind of greens are cheaper, the leaves are two catties, but Ziqing doesn't like to eat, Ziqing loves to eat greens, they are all seen in the previous life, the old hen is eighteen wen a catty, the rooster is fifteen wen a catty, the duck is twelve wen a catty, pork is also eighteen wen a catty, the future of raising chickens is still bright. No potatoes, sweet potatoes, taro, water chestnuts, no apples were found, and it is estimated that the local area is not suitable for planting. There are also those who sell hares, forty or fifty wen each, and fifty wen a pheasant, Ziqing has to ask almost everything she sees.

"Why are you curious about everything, you ask everything. I didn't take you out like this before. ”

"Am I not helping you? Aren't you going to buy groceries and go home? ”

"Oh, too. Bought out, let's go. ”

"What's over there? I see a lot of people. ”

"There are cows, cowboys, piglets. It's nothing to look at, and it stinks. ”

"Look at it, I'm curious, I finally came out for a walk."

"Let's go, I really can't help you."

Ziqing didn't dare to ask blindly this time, but she stood aside and watched others ask and understood what she wanted to know, the price of a cow and a donkey was about the same, three or four taels of silver, and a piglet cost more than 100 to 200 yuan. There are also chickens, ducks, and geese that are sold, and the amount is not large, and it seems that the hens are hatched in the nest. It would be nice if you had mastered the hotbed technology. Ziqing only knows that she must maintain a constant temperature of 37 degrees, and she will slowly explore it if she has the conditions.

Ziqing finally followed home satisfied. Zilu is looking for her everywhere. Ziqing dragged him to Shen's room, "Mother, I'm back." Mother, I see that there are chicks for sale, let's buy a few and raise them first. Good no good? ”

"Buy now? Where to raise? Qingqing is good, when you move, your mother will let you raise it. ”

"Mother, the chicks are so small, they don't eat much, just pick up some vegetable leaves. We can raise it under the peach tree, put it in the bamboo cage at night and bring it in, the second brother can help me, mother, you just let me raise a few to try first, and it should grow a lot after moving for the New Year, and then you can take care of it by buying a small one. ”

"Okay, my mother can't tell you, little housekeeper. My mother gave you thirty yuan, you see how many you can buy, don't forget to buy a small bamboo cage. Shen handed Ziqing a purse and filled her with thirty yuan.

"Got it, second brother, let's go, let's buy chicks."

The brother and sister ran out in a hurry, Ziqing hadn't forgotten to carry the small basket, "Brother, let's ask the bamboo cage first, and see how many we can buy with the rest of the money." ”

Ziqing found the one who sold the bamboo cage, cut it for half a day, and people saw that she was a child and asked for three pennies, but Ziqing was not in a hurry to buy it, and ran to the chicken seller, and chose a very old woman to squat down in front of her. "Old woman, how do you sell this chicken?"

"Little girl, where are the adults in your family?"

"My mother just gave birth to a little brother, and she is still lying in bed, and my father is out."

"Oh, the little chicken is five cents a piece, and the little chicken is three cents. How many do you want? ”

Ziqing took out her purse, thinking of the few pennies given by Xiao, she hadn't counted them, and now she took them out and counted them, there were ten pennies, so Ziqing had forty pennies in her hand, deducting the bamboo cage money and three pennies, she could only buy seven hens, Ziqing thought about it for a while, and decided to buy five hens and five roosters, all saying that men and women are not tired of working together, and raising chickens is also a truth. Ziqing planned to grind the old woman well and ask the old woman to send a little, but she didn't think that the old woman was very happy, so she agreed. Ziqing carefully put ten chickens into the basket, picked up a few vegetable leaves, and then went back to buy a bamboo cage, and went home happily. This is her first investment, and Ziqing's heart is full of expectations and hopes. In fact, Ziqing is definitely the kind of small wealth that is safe, there is no big pursuit, she just wants a stable and peaceful life, especially when she comes to this strange ancient time, she thinks it is better to follow the trend, and the wings of butterflies should not be flapped at will, so don't think about glass and cement, although she is studying engineering. If one is not careful, he will not be able to play with his own life. Therefore, at this moment, Ziqing swore to a few chickens that he must rely on his own ability to farm and make a fortune.

After Ziqing went home, she immediately instructed Zilu to find some straw, spread it in the bamboo cage, and found a larger bamboo basket, spread the straw, and then made the vegetables fine, found a broken bowl with a missing corner, first gave the chicken some water, and then put the vegetable foam in.

"Alright, you're done. Go to eat first, finish lunch, and then let them out to bask in the sun. ”

"Sister, my brother found out that you are so powerful, when will you learn to count? You can also raise chickens, brother, you know a lot. ”

"Huh? Oh, Qing'er just usually watches how Grandma and Aunt do it, so she learns from it, Qing'er can count, it will be simpler, and she usually goes out to buy things with her mother, and it will be a little bit more often. Ziqing lied, and her eyes didn't blink.
