"Carriage? It's a precious thing, who can afford it except for the rich old man in town? There is little arable land in our village, and there is no cattle to raise. However, Uncle Ma's family in the next village has a donkey cart, which helps people pull goods when they are busy, and pulls people to the town when they are free. Yu Xiaolian chattered.

Yu Hang seemed to understand what she was going to do, and thought for a while: "There is enough firewood at home to burn a meal, why don't I accompany you to the town?" ”

Of course Yu Xiaocao was happy, and she nodded busily. She wanted to go by herself, but she didn't know the way.

Yu Xiaolian saw that her brother was going to accompany her sister to the town, and she also wanted to go. However, she knew that if she followed, all the work in the family would fall on her mother.

Looking at Xiaomei's pale little face, Xiaolian put down the sickle in her hand and whispered, "You wait for me for a while." So saying, he ran into the courtyard.

After a while, under the bewildered eyes of the brother and sister, Xiaolian rushed out again, mysteriously took out a small cloth bag, pulled out a few copper plates from the gap in the cloth bag, and said with a smile: "It's the first time for my little sister to go to the town, let's take a donkey cart!" ”

"How do you have a copper plate?" Yu Hang was surprised. All the income of the family must be handed over and kept by the grandmother. With grandma's dead nature, the gods don't want to pick out a copper from her hands.

Xiaolian pretended to smile mysteriously, looked left and right, and whispered, "Didn't Doctor You teach us to distinguish herbs?" When I was threshing pigweed, I saw herbs and dug them up and saved them, and sold them in the pharmacy to get a few copper plates. Originally, I was going to buy some sugar and leave it for my little sister to change the taste after drinking the medicine. ”

Yu Xiaocao held six copper plates in his hands, and his heart was very moved. She didn't grind, put it away and said, "I borrowed these copper plates from you, and if you have silver in the future, you will definitely pay you back." ”

"My own family, what do you say about borrowing or not borrowing! It's getting late, and if you don't set off again, you won't be able to catch up with the donkey cart in the neighboring village. Come back early, or grandma will scold you again! "Xiaolian's cool temperament doesn't know who to follow. However, Yu Xiaocao likes her like this.

Yu Hang took the crockpot in his sister's hand, and the two walked quickly towards the neighboring village. In less than two quarters of an hour, Ma Dafu was seen driving his donkey cart out of the village.

Although there are only two copper plates per person in the car, there are really not many people who are willing to pay for the car these days. On the donkey cart, there were only two women who brought eggs or vegetables to the morning market. There are a lot of baskets and baskets.

"Uncle Ma, my sister and I are going to the town and take us for a ride!" Yu Hang went to the town with his father to sell prey a few times, and once rode Ma Dafu's donkey cart.

There is business coming to the door, Ma Dafu naturally will not push people out, he said with a smile: "It's the small sand of the big sea brothers!" This is your sister Xiaolian, right? Come up!"

The woman in the car was embarrassed to move the basket to make room for a small space. Yu Hang held his sister's armpit and carried her into the car. I sat on the wheel next to Ma Dafu.

The corners of Yu Xiaocao's mouth twitched, the feeling of being picked up by a ten-year-old child was really indescribable!

The little donkey ran forward "deservedly", and the distance, which had been more than an hour, was shortened by nearly half.

The brother and sister finally arrived in town at the time of Tatsu (around 8 a.m.). This small town, Tanggu Town, is an ordinary seaside town. From the east of the town to the west of the town, it will take less than half an hour. Because it is a necessary place to pass from the harbor to Jinweifu, although the town is small, it is very prosperous.

The people rushing to the morning market at the entrance of the town were full of people, and the Xiaocao brothers and sisters thanked Uncle Ma and paid four copper fares. Ma Dafu was very enthusiastic to tell them that when they returned, they would still meet at the city gate.

Saying goodbye to Uncle Ma, the brother and sister walked on the bustling street. The street is wide enough to accommodate two horse-drawn carriages running side by side. From time to time, horse-drawn wagons loaded with goods from the docks can be seen hurrying through the streets. It is also the only way to go to the capital by sea, so it's no wonder it's so lively.

The shops on both sides of the street are one after another, and the brother and sister are dizzying. Yu Xiaocao was in a hurry to sell the abalone in his hand, turned his head and asked Yu Hang: "Brother!" Do you know where the biggest restaurant in town is? Let's go straight there! ”

"There are two big restaurants in the town, one is called 'Fu Lin Men' and the other is 'Zhen Yu Lou'. The prey that Daddy caught was also sent by these two families first. Fulinmen is closer to here, why don't we go there and ask first? "After all, Yu Hang has been here a few times, and he still has a certain understanding of the town.

Fu Lin Mun is a two-storey restaurant, which looks like it has been some years old, giving people a sense of simplicity and heaviness.

The brother and sister stood in front of the restaurant for a moment, and before it was time to open the door to collect customers, only a young man, yawning lazily with a broom, and sweeping the floor casually.

Seeing the patched clothes on the brother and sister, the man impatiently swept the ashes to the two of them, and exclaimed with a disdainful expression: "Go, go, go!" Is this where you come from? Find the right time to eat! Let's go, let's go!! ”

was treated as a flower child, and Yu Xiaocao encountered it for the first time. A wave of anger rose from the bottom of her heart, she endured and endured, adhering to the principle of making money with kindness, and squeezed out a smile: "This little brother, where is your shopkeeper?" I have some fresh seafood, I don't know if you can accept it? ”

The guy raised his eyelids and swept the broken crockpot in her hand, looking down on him: "The seafood we have come to Fulinmen is all sent by a fixed fisherman." With your poor sourness, what good goods can you have? ! How can our shopkeeper have the time to see you, this little deflated three? ”

"How are you scolding!" Yu Hang raised his brows and stepped forward to reason with him.

The guy threw the broom in his hand and shouted, "What's wrong with scolding you!" Stinky food, how to cheat money? See our shopkeeper, how big is your face? ”

"What a noise! Early in the morning? Yu Xiaocao was about to go crazy, and a middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper in his forties came out of the door and shouted.

The guy immediately changed his face and smiled with a stammering face: "Shopkeeper Liu!" The little one asks for rice Hanako! ”

"You're going to want Hanako! Shopkeeper Liu, I have a few fresh abalones here, I don't know if your store accepts them? Yu Xiaocao glanced at him fiercely, no longer entangled with him, and said to the shopkeeper Liu.

Shopkeeper Liu glanced at the brother and sister, but didn't take it to heart: "Abalone!" If the goods are good, we will still receive them. ”

Yu Xiaocao stepped forward with a clay pot and said, "I'm a top-grade abalone, each of which is more than five inches." Why don't you take a look? ”

On the street, a young man riding a horse in a brocade costume and a god steed held the reins when he heard this. Abalone over five inches? If true, it is definitely the best among abalone. At noon today, Wu County ordered to make a birthday in Zhenyulou, isn't there a lack of a big dish that can be calm?
