Chapter 8: Selling Hares

"Eldest sister, this family is full of old and weak women and children, there is no adult man standing up to the door, grandma is old, your aunt is not in good health, you are the eldest sister of our Liu family, you will take care of this family a little more in the future, you can do it yourself."

"Well, grandma, big sister knows." This family is just like what her grandmother said, and she has a lot of responsibility.

Early in the morning of the second day, Liu Yiyu and Liu Yihao rushed to the town with a basket on their backs.

The town is not far from the mountain valley village, but it is not close, with the foot strength of Liu Yiyu and the two of them, I am afraid that it will take an hour to be able to reach the town, an hour in ancient times, which is equivalent to two hours.

At first, Liu Yiyu didn't feel it when he walked, but in the end, Liu Yiyu felt that his feet hurt hotly, and he was afraid that his feet were grinding blood blisters.

There are also ox carts in the village to go to the town, but they are driving ox carts, doing small business, adults take one back and forth to the town to ask for two copper plates, and children are one copper plate, now Liu Yiyu's family is penniless, where can he afford to sit on an ox cart.

Even if you have money, you can't afford to spend money on an ox cart.

After Liu Yiyu and the two of them came to the town, on today's market day, the nearby ten miles and eight villages took some of the inventory that could be sold for money to the town to catch the market day, and sold some in exchange for other things that the family needed.

At this time, the sound of selling and bargaining on the street is endless, and people come and go.

"Big sister, what should we do". Liu Yihao was a little at a loss for inferiority, and grabbed Liu Yiyu's clothes tightly.

"Eldest brother, you are the son of our Liu family, and you will be the head of the Liu family in the future, let's not steal, don't rob, don't ask for others, hold up your chest, don't be so petty, let people underestimate us." Liu Yiyu saw that Liu Yihao was a little cowering, and after being at a loss, his brows furrowed slightly, and he reprimanded Liu Yihao.

"The eldest sister is right". After Liu Yihao took a deep breath, he puffed up his chest and looked at people, his eyes were clear, and he did not have the unnatural color of inferiority complex before.

"Hmm". Liu Yihao is very shapely, after Liu Yiyu dials it a little, Liu Yihao can often draw inferences from one another, think about the cause and effect, right and wrong, in the future, when Liu Yihao grows up, the Liu family will be handed over to Liu Yihao, and the Liu family will definitely be able to become completely rich.

"Let's go, let's take a walk around this street with my eldest sister first." After Liu Yiyu finished speaking, he moved forward.

Liu Yihao, who was following Liu Yiyu, followed closely behind Liu Yiyu and fell a few steps away.

After Liu Yiyu walked around the whole street, the whole street is not long, about ten zhang long, there are all kinds of street shops on both sides, there are restaurants, there are shops selling rouge gouache, there are snack shops, there are rice shops, cloth shops, etc.

The vendors selling the things in the first half of the street either have shops open or wooden shelves on both sides of the street shouting, and the second half of the street is like Liu Yiyu and others, who get game from their homes, or pickled into sauerkraut, eggs and other items, scattered together to sell things.

"Let's go, eldest brother, let's sell this hare directly to the restaurant."

After all, Liu Yihao is only seven years old, he has never seen the world, looking at the luxurious and atmospheric Xiangmanlou in front of him, the guests who come and go into the Xiangmanlou, dressed in gorgeous brocade robes, after the belt is wrapped in ribbon jade and various brocade sachets, and then look at himself, washed white, patched with patches on the clothes, a little hesitant.

Liu Yihao thought of what his eldest sister said to himself just now, let's not steal, don't rob, don't ask for others.

When the time comes, it won't be sold, and it will just be driven out, ridiculed, and lost, what is the situation at home now, Liu Yihao also knows, Liu Yihao gritted his teeth, lowered his head, and followed Liu Yiyu to Xiangmanlou.

Liu Yihao, who followed Liu Yiyu, saw that his eldest sister was walking towards the back door on the left side of Xiangmanlou, and did not enter directly towards the main entrance of Xiangmanlou, Liu Yihao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

When Liu Yihao raised his head and saw his eldest sister looking at him with a smile, Liu Yihao said, "Eldest sister, I ......."

"Brother, you have to remember that we are not poor."

"Well, the fifth brother knows." Liu Yihao scratched his head and replied as if he didn't understand.

Generally, restaurants or large households will have a back door for people to go out to buy.

After Liu Yiyu knocked on the door a few times, there was a sound of footsteps behind the door.

"What are you doing, who are you looking for". A young man who appeared to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a white high hat, a white scarf tied around his waist, and a bloody kitchen knife in his hand.

Liu Yiyu took a look and knew that this young man was afraid that he was an apprentice who worked with the chef in the kitchen of Xiangmanlou.

After Liu Yihao saw the young man holding a bloody kitchen knife in his hand, Liu Yihao glanced at the young man with some fear, pulled his eldest sister, and took two steps back.

The young man seemed to notice that Yoo Yihao was afraid, and hid the kitchen knife in his hand behind his back.

"This little brother, I don't know if your restaurant accepts hares." Liu Yiyu shook his head at Liu Yihao soothingly, stepped forward, and said with a smile on his face.

"This ......, our restaurant has a special purchase manager, I can't be the master of these, or I'll ask our shopkeeper." The young man looked at Liu Yiyu and Liu Yihao in front of him, and saw that the two of them were in shabby clothes, patches were stacked on patches, and the two of them were black and thin, and they couldn't bear to say.

"Thank you guy."

"My name is Wang Hu, you can call me Brother Huzi, I'll call our shopkeeper to come, you come in first and so on."

"Thank you, Brother Huzi, slow down."

After a while, Wang Hu led a middle-aged man about thirty-five or sixteen years old.

The middle-aged man was slender and long, dressed in a cyan robe, with a white face and no beard, and said with a happy smile on his face, "The contemptible man's surname is Zhang, you can call me the shopkeeper Zhang, Huzi said that you are a hare to sell, can you show the contemptible person."

"Shopkeeper Zhang, you see, yesterday my sister and brother spent a lot of effort on the mountain to catch five hares alive, four big and one small, about fifteen catties, if the shopkeeper wants, estimate the price, just give some money to my sister and brother, buy some food." Liu Yiyu took out the burlap bag in the back basket, opened the mouth of the bag, and gently shook the burlap bag.

"You girl has something to say." Shopkeeper Zhang naturally listened to the meaning of Liu Yiyu's words, Liu Yiyu, although he said that he would estimate the price and give some money casually, but there was no latter sentence, just give some money to my sister and brother, buy some food, there is a sentence, the meaning is different.

Liu Yiyu said, you are the shopkeeper, don't bully our sisters and brothers who are small and don't understand the market.
