053 Aunt Chen
The honest young man's calm face was actually a little frightening.
The women were stunned at first, but then reacted, this Su family has a good relationship with Wang Taoqing, and Wang Taoqing is Chen Yuanhai's eldest sister-in-law.
There is only this ox cart in the village, and they have to go back in the afternoon, so naturally they don't dare to offend Chen Yuanhai.
In the past, it was not that the ox cart had been parked at the gate of the city, and several daughters-in-law of the Wang family immediately got down from the ox cart and fled with the second daughter-in-law of the Wang family, who covered her face and sobbed in a low voice.
The others were also eager to leave this Shura field quickly, and quickly got down from the ox cart and went straight to the city gate.
Chen Yuanhai's face suddenly softened, and he became the honest and honest young man again.
"Sister-in-law of the Gu family, is there anything wrong?"
Su Mo shook her head, she didn't eat at all.
She looked at the woman who had not left on the side, blinking suspiciously, she didn't recognize this Aunt Chen.
"Who are you?"
Aunt Chen grinned, her eyes were full of wrinkles, her complexion was sallow, but her eyes were bright.
His eyes swept over Su Mo's pretty face, and his voice softened unconsciously, as if the woman who scolded just now was not her.
"Just call me Aunt Chen, my son Chen Liduan, I helped you go to the mountains to drag wild boars before."
Speaking of Chen Liduan, Su Mo had some impressions.
Chen Li looked at the tall and strong, but he was a shy character, and at that time he gave him wild boar, if it wasn't for the village chief, he didn't dare to accept it, and he kept thanking him after accepting it.
Su Mo had a good impression of Chen Liduan, and just now Aunt Chen helped to speak, so he also had a good impression of Aunt Chen.
"Aunt Chen, thank you for your help just now."
Su Mo's good-looking fox eyes are slightly curved, with a smile at the corners of his eyes, and spring between his eyebrows, and the whole person is as delicate as a blooming peach blossom.
Somehow, Aunt Chen, who was watching it, was pounding in her heart.
Oops, this little lady of the Gu family is also too good-looking.
Aunt Chen is not a native of Luoshan Village, but a native of coastal county.
Her mother's family has a shop, and she is the only daughter in the family, so she can be described as pampered.
However, this person has no ambition, so he likes the beautiful person.
Chen Liduan's father, Chen Yuelin, was poor and white, but he was white-skinned and handsome, like the handsome scholar in the play.
Aunt Chen saw it at a glance and learned that Chen Yuelin's parents were dead at home, and he was alone, so he didn't even want a dowry.
Her father and mother couldn't resist it, agreed to the marriage, and gave a lot of dowry for her daughter to bring over, which can be said to be the first person to alleviate poverty.
After getting married, Aunt Chen gritted her teeth in order to keep her face, took care of all the big and small things in the family, and changed from a pampered girl to a bride who could go up to the hall and the kitchen.
And Chen Yuelin is also well aware of his wife's dedication, and the two have always been like newlyweds, and they are very affectionate.
Don't look at Aunt Chen, who is over forty years old this year, and there is a ten-year-old girl under her knees.
"The little lady of the Gu family is polite, it should be me who thanks you, you gave so many wild boar meat to Lisa last month."
Aunt Chen's father and mother passed away a few years ago, and the business of that shop was bleak, Aunt Chen thought of a lot of ways to no avail, and there were six mouths to support at home, and life was tight.
The wild boar meat that Su Mo gave to Chen Li last month not only satisfied the children's hunger, but also saved some money.
Aunt Chen had long wanted to thank her, but there were too many things at home, and the shop was also preparing to sell it, so she had to go over.
This will happen, and seeing that Su Mo was bullied, he opened his mouth to help.
Chen Yuanhai on the side also came over, raised his hand and patted the wooden board of the ox cart, smiling so much that he couldn't see his teeth.
"Auntie, sister-in-law of the Gu family, it's not too early, come up quickly, I'll send you into the city."
Didn't you say you wouldn't go into the city?
Su Mo was slightly stunned, and when he saw Chen Yuanhai scratching his head embarrassedly, he suddenly understood.
"Then I'm bothering you."
She smiled lightly and got into the ox cart.
Aunt Chen didn't hesitate, and sat on the car board.
Aunt Chen went to the county seat today to sell the shop, so she left immediately after entering the city.
Su Mo was worried about the three children in the family, and he had to rush back at noon, so he didn't say hello again.
After seeing the prosperity of Huzhou Mansion, it was inevitable that the streets of the coastal county were deserted, and Su Mo walked in the direction of his memory, and soon arrived at the place where the poultry was sold.
There are no fixed stalls here, and several bamboo cages are placed directly on the land, with chickens, ducks, and geese inside.
The seller sat on the side with a small table, and greeted people when they saw them.
Su Mo doesn't like geese, geese are too fierce.
Before the end of the world, the goose in the family once pecked at its mother's hand.
After the end of the world, the goose mutated, the serrations in the mouth were strengthened, and she could bite off the limbs of humans in one bite, and she almost suffered from the mutant goose.
She intuitively walked up to one of the stalls and asked, "Auntie, how do you sell chickens and ducks?" ”
"Seven dollars a piece, my chickens and ducks have been raised for a while, and they will find food by themselves, which is very easy to feed.
If you buy too much, I will give you a bag of rice husks, and then a bamboo basket to hold it. ”
Su Mo looked at the little cub in the bamboo cage, and he was indeed quite strong, and the price was reasonable.
Yu Guang noticed that the hen on the side was thick, smooth and had few miscellaneous hairs, the comb was soft, and the color was not too bright, it was an old hen.
On the edge of the bamboo cage, there is a bamboo basket with eggs, there are not many eggs, and there should be eggs in these two days.
After pondering for a moment, Su Mo said: "There are six chickens and ducks, weigh these two hens, and I also want eggs." ”
Tomorrow for dinner, a hen stew, one for stir-frying.
Eggs are boiled and eaten by children every morning to supplement protein.
"Okay."
The mother-in-law looked happy and stood up.
She couldn't straighten her waist, and she slumped over, picked up the scale, and weighed both old hens.
"A total of six catties and seven taels, this old hen is twelve wen a catty, that is, eighty wen.
Six chickens and six ducks are a total of eighty-four dollars.
There are twenty-four eggs in total, which is twenty-four wen, that is, one hundred and eighty-eight wen. ”
Su Mo didn't bargain, took out two hanging coins from his arms, took out twelve copper coins, and handed them over.
The mother-in-law hurriedly stretched out her hands into a hand, took the money, and put it into the small bamboo basket next to her feet.
Then he took out four small bamboo baskets from the big basket behind him, one for the chicks, one for the ducklings, one for the two old hens, and one for the eggs.
As soon as the hemp rope on the edge of the bamboo basket is pulled, it can be directly lifted in the hand, and the straw is laid inside, so you don't have to worry about the excretion of chickens and ducks, and you don't have to worry about the eggs will break.
"Madame, take it."
The mother-in-law bent her waist and placed the bamboo basket and the burlap bag containing the rice husks in front of the bamboo cage, and the smile on her face never stopped.
Selling eggs and not selling hens is a truth that they all understand in this industry, but she can't do it, the little grandson in the family is sick and needs money to buy medicine.
The crops in the field have not yet arrived, and they can't be harvested, so they have to sell the chickens and ducks first, and then rely on their son to weave bamboo products to earn some money, and they can also survive until the autumn harvest.
"Thank you."
Su Mo smiled, held the hemp rope, two bamboo baskets in one hand, and slowly left.
After buying poultry, Su Mo went to the butcher shop to buy two catties of pork, Gu Xingnian likes to eat pork ribs, and he also bought two pork ribs.
Then there are vegetables, dried vegetables, melon seeds and peanuts and other snacks, by the way, go to Fang Yue, and invite her to come over for dinner tomorrow, Fang Yue is naturally happy to respond.
The two exchanged a few words, Su Mo waved goodbye on the grounds of driving the ox cart back, and when he was about to get to the place where the ox cart was parked, he met a sugar gourd seller, and stopped to buy three strings of sugar gourds.
