Chapter 190: Strange Cow
Coming out of the ready-to-wear store, Hua Qingyan took everyone to the grocery store again. Ω'Pen Δ Fun Ω Pavilion'.
There are still a lot of good things in the grocery store in Chaoyang Town, Hua Qingyan picked out some spices she wanted, and she actually found something novel in the corner. It didn't seem to be wanted, and it wasn't taken seriously by the shopkeeper, and it was covered with a layer of dust.
However, Hua Qingyan's face was full of surprise, and she stepped forward to get rid of the ash on it, the transparent branches like tree trunks. Hua Qingyan pinched her hand, and sure enough, it was something she knew!
Because Hua Qingyan and they bought a lot of things, the shopkeeper paid great attention to them, and saw that she was interested in the strange thing in the corner of her store, so she hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Does the girl know this thing?" ”
"Acquaintance." Hua Qingyan said directly without pretentiousness, "This is a foreign vegetable?" ”
"What is a seaweed?" The shopkeeper asked puzzled.
The seaweed is too strange to him, he has been running a grocery store for more than ten years, and he thinks he has seen a lot of things, both north and south, but this is the first time he has heard of this seafood.
The shopkeeper sighed: "This thing was left by a merchant, he wanted to buy my family's seeds, but he didn't have enough money on him, so he took this bag of things and exchanged them with me." I looked at the novelty of this thing, and I thought it was a good object, but I didn't expect that no one knew it at all, and it couldn't be sold, so I had to put it in the store and stain it. ”
Hua Qingyan glanced at the shopkeeper who was looking forward to it, smiled and didn't say anything. The few people behind Hua Qingyan were also very curious, but they were all very sensible and didn't ask, because they knew that Hua Qingyan would definitely tell them!
The two little guys came to Hua Qingyan's side, looked into the dusty bag, looked up at Hua Qingyan, and asked without worry, "Mother, is this for food?" ”
Hua Qingyan touched their heads and said, "Why do you say that?" ”
Xiao Wuwu squinted and smiled: "Because my mother is interested, it is all delicious." ”
Xiao Wuwu's words made the big guys laugh, but what he said was also the truth. However, the shopkeeper didn't know this, and looked at Hua Qingyan with some surprise. The more he looked at the shopkeeper, the more he felt that this girl was familiar, he stared at Hua Qingyan for a long time, and then looked at the two children beside her, and instantly said to his heart: "You are the girl who set up a stall in the town to sell dim sum!" ”
Hua Qingyan's dim sum stall is well-known in the town, and many people start queuing up before dawn to buy her dim sum, and even fight for a piece of dim sum. There are also many who buy and sell at a high price, even if they sell a difference, they make a lot of money.
However, Hua Qingyan didn't come to the town to set up stalls many times, and basically Hua Biluo them, so the shopkeeper was not familiar with Hua Qingyan, but he also sent someone to inquire. Now many merchants are afraid that they have portraits of Hua Qingyan in their hands!
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and at this moment he believed what the boy said, and what this girl fancied must be able to be eaten! It's just that how to use it, he just wants to ask this girl.
"Girl...... How to use this seaweed? The shopkeeper asked.
Hua Qingyan glanced at the shopkeeper lightly and did not answer. Was the shopkeeper embarrassed, he touched his chin, and saw Hua Qingyan's eyes fall on the sack of foreign vegetables, and the shopkeeper suddenly realized. He smiled and said, "If Miss Qingyan likes it, the girl will take it away if she likes it, and think that the girl bought so many things at my house...... Gifts. ”
Hua Qingyan glanced at the shopkeeper after hearing this, and her eyes were slightly strange. However, she quite understood the shopkeeper's approach, after all, this foreign vegetable was a new thing to him, and he didn't know what it was used for or what it was for, and there was no need to smash it on his hand. He gave things to Hua Qingyan, but he killed two birds with one stone, not only could he have a good relationship with Hua Qingyan, but also knew the value of this foreign dish, and he would not be confused when he encountered it again in the future. Moreover, since Hua Qingyan can use it, there will definitely be a need in the future. At that time, Hua Qingyan will naturally come to him, and the business will naturally be able to go on for a long time.
Hua Qingyan smiled, politely accepted the shopkeeper's kindness, but Hua Qingyan did not take advantage of the shopkeeper, symbolically gave some silver money, and revealed a sentence before leaving: "This foreign vegetable is indeed used to make food, and if the shopkeeper meets it next time, you must keep it for me." ”
Out of the grocery store, several people's eyes fell on the sack of foreign vegetables from time to time, looking like they wanted to say something. Hua Qingyan saw their expressions in her eyes, shook the trouble in her hand, and smiled slightly: "What, I want to know what this is?" ”
"That's right!" Nodding, nodding.
"It's just food." Hua Qingyan said, "It's a very important ingredient for me to make some dim sum. ”
As soon as Hua Qingyan said it, everyone looked forward to it, they all knew Hua Qingyan's craftsmanship very well, and every one of her snacks was unstoppable. They had never heard of this snack made with foreign vegetables, so it must be a new taste! Thinking of this, everyone swallowed their saliva in unison.
Hua Qingyan was not exempt from vulgarity, and a lot of snacks flashed in her mind that she had wanted to make before, but she never thought of the ingredients, even if she had already tasted it, she couldn't help but salivate.
Because of the New Year's holiday, the town is particularly lively. There are countless stalls on the street, Hua Qingyan took a few people to buy a lot of things, added some things to the children, and did not forget to stuff ten taels of silver each for Hua Biluo and Yun Suiyue, who insisted on coming with them, and asked them to buy what they liked. Hua Qingyan also bought gifts for the Hu family and Zhou Lizheng's family. Hua Qingyan is thoughtful, and people with good relationships have taken it into account, and the gifts of each family are different.
She is like a mirror in her heart, and she has prepared it for Yun Shumo, who is far away in Yongjing. It was regarded as the love sent by Yun Shumo when he returned the joy of the housewarming before.
Hua Qingyan wants to go to see the livestock, she plans to raise some chickens and ducklings in the backyard in the spring of next year, when the time comes, not only chicken to eat, but also to receive eggs every day, whether it is to supplement the child's body, or to make snacks are very good. If she could, she would like to buy a horse and set up a carriage so that it would be much easier to go out later.
Thinking like this, Hua Qingyan asked passers-by about the place where the livestock was sold, and led the family to the North Market, which specializes in selling livestock in the town.
As soon as she approached Beishi, Hua Qingyan smelled a stench that could not be ignored, mixed with countless indescribable smells.
Several people subconsciously frowned and stopped in unison. Xiao Wuwu loves to be clean, at this time the whole little face is wrinkled into a pleated bun, and even covers his mouth and nose with great disgust, and he doesn't forget to help his sister cover it too.
As the crown prince, Yun Suiyue came to such a dirty place for the first time, but there was no disgust on Junxiu's face, only full of incredulity. This kind of place has never existed in Yongjing, and even if there is, it is very clean and orderly, just like the sexual courtyard of the rich man's own family. In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Yun Suiyue's mind, and finally his eyes fell on Hua Qingyan.
I don't know what this former eldest lady who was born and grew up in Yongjing will do.
Hua Qingyan was also the first time to come to this kind of place, and the smell was so touching that she wanted to turn around and leave. However, she is full of interest in the conversation of a group of people.
A middle-aged man's voice said, "Why does this cow look so strange, how can this fur be this color?" Then someone said, "Could this be rinderpest?" It's all like this, and the main family is still released, isn't this asking for human life! ”
As soon as these words came out, many people made frightened voices, as if they wanted the lord's family to dispose of the cow as soon as possible, so as not to harm others. One by one, the attitude is very anxious and bad.
Hua Qingyan knew that in ancient times, cattle were the main labor force in farming, and the government forbade people to slaughter cattle without permission, otherwise they would have committed a big crime. In the end, the cattle were really sick, or they were too old to farm, and they had to be inspected and verified by the government before they could be slaughtered.
Now the big guy actually wants to kill the cow, so abnormal has aroused Hua Qingyan's interest. She covered her mouth and nose and walked in the direction from which the voice came.
Not far away, a large group of people gathered around and pointed, showing fear and disgust, eager to leave immediately. However, the men did not take half a step, apparently wanting to see what the owner of the cow would do.
There was a ten-** girl standing in the crowd, unkempt and unkempt to see the specific face. She was holding a cow in her hand, and it was apparently a cow. The cow was so strange that it was not the usual yellow-brown, but variegated. The cow was obviously human, and when he heard everyone's discussions, he hung his head in frustration, and his big eyes were moist with tears.
The little girl was also anxious, and even a little annoyed by their words. She touched the cow's head, glared and said, "What nonsense! My cow is in good health, not sick or painful, you don't have to fool the public here! ”
The little girl said, "I don't know what the color of its coat is, but it's not a disease at all, I have seen it with a doctor, and this cow is born like this!" How cute, if I really can't keep it, I won't sell it! ”
Hua Qingyan was full of interest in this cow from the first time she saw it, and her eyes flashed with light. What a surprise today, she actually met this animal!
Anyway, today, she bought this cow!
Hua Qingyan pushed aside the crowd and walked in, and said with a smile: "Girl, what is the price of your cow?"
The girl looked Hua Qing's face up and down, tilted her head and asked, "You want to buy my cow?"
"Yes." Hua Qingyan nodded.
When the people around heard that someone really wanted to buy it, they shook their heads and disagreed, "I can't buy it, the color of this cow is wrong, I'm afraid it will be bad if I buy it back!" ”
"Yes, this girl, this cow must be sick, I'm sure this seller is cheating on you!"
"You guys!" The girl jumped to her feet in anger, she gritted her teeth and said to Hua Qingyan: "Girl, don't listen to their nonsense, I see that you are also a knowledgeable person, I will sell you this cow, but I have one condition!"
If she can buy a cow, she can accept any conditions, nodded and said: "Okay, you say, as long as you sell this cow to me, it is easy to say any conditions."
