Chapter 17 Buying Chickens
After eating, Chu Junyao walked out, looked around, and found that Erbao and Xiaobao were picking up withered and fallen branches nearby.
When the time comes, you can use it for cooking in the evening.
But only this one big treasure is missing.
"Where did this treasure go?" She couldn't help but ask.
But Lu Chenyi didn't know anything, just said, "As soon as he woke up and ate the white potato, he ran out and hasn't come back yet." ”
Forget it, anyway, this kid is mysterious all day long, regardless of him, Chu Junyao still wants to do other things in his heart.
Taking advantage of the fact that it is not very cold now, Chu Junyao plans to go to the market, and when the time comes, he will buy a few chickens and raise them, which can be regarded as a meat opening for them.
As for what money to buy chickens? It must depend on the food in the space.
Chu Junyao thought about it for a while and decided to take some food that seemed to be relatively large and not particularly valuable.
If he hadn't dragged the two children with him, otherwise Chu Junyao would definitely have picked the most valuable one to sell.
When the time comes, you can exchange a lot of money and come back.
After all, Chu Junyao didn't worry that Erbao and Xiaobao were at home, so he took them with him.
Hearing that they were going to the market, Erbao and Xiaobao naturally shouted happily.
"Okay, let's go to the market!"
Although they knew that they would not be able to buy anything good when they went to the market, they just wanted to go shopping, and perhaps this was the nature of children.
But getting to the market is hard.
Their village is a little far away from the capital.
It took me half an hour to get there.
Xiao Bao was so tired that he couldn't walk, so Chu Junyao held him on his body.
And Lu Chenyi was holding some corn that she had secretly taken out of the space.
Although Erbao and Xiaobao were curious about where the corn came from, Chu Junyao only said that it was lent to them by others and asked them to exchange a few chickens to raise them.
The two of them were so foolish that they naively believed it.
When I went to the market, I saw that the people here were very lively, and the streets and alleys were all selling.
"Fresh meat buns!"
"Wowotou, it's very cheap!"
"Beautiful hairpin, let's have one!"
This was the first time Chu Junyao had come to this bazaar, and she was dazzled by what she saw.
It turns out that this ancient bazaar is much more lively than expected.
After looking around, she picked a better corner and squatted down, and put all the corn they were carrying in front of her.
But I don't know how much this corn will be sold.
Luckily, there was a woman who was also selling corn with them, and she sold it for the same price.
This winter, the corn was easy to sell, and in a short time it was sold for some money, although it was not much, but it was enough to buy three chickens.
It had taken them three hours, and they were already hungry.
I was in a hurry to leave before, and I didn't think about bringing some food out at all.
When passing by the bun shop, Xiaobao smelled the fragrance and swallowed desperately.
Erbao simply stayed in front of the bun shop, not wanting to leave.
"Erbao, what are you doing here? Come here, we're going to keep buying chickens. ”
Saying that, Chu Junyao touched her stomach, in fact, she was about to go crazy with hunger.
But I don't have a lot of money in hand, so I can't waste it.
Erbao looked at Chu Junyao beggingly, speechless, but the meaning of his eyes was obvious that he wanted her to buy a bun for herself.
The owner of the steamed bun shop smiled when he saw Erbao and said, "Do you want to buy steamed buns?" There's a fresh bun here, why don't you have one? ”
Seeing this, Chu Junyao hurriedly ran forward and pulled Erbao away.
"Erbao, I'll make you steamed buns to eat when I get home, but now it's important for us to buy chicken, do you know?"
Although Erbao was greedy, he still obediently followed behind Chu Junyao, and finally found a chicken seller.
I bought three chickens from the dealer and set out on my way home.
Cold and hungry, this double torture made the two children a little uncomfortable.
Chu Junyao didn't matter, he had already known that he was used to suffering like this.
Turning his head and glancing at Lu Chenyi, he was holding Erbao, very calm, not like he was hungry.
"Hold on a little longer, and we'll be able to go home soon."
Chu Junyao shouted and walked. Finally, it took an hour to return home, and I was really hungry.
didn't care about so much, so I hurriedly took a few more white potatoes, put them directly in the pot and started cooking.
Now she doesn't even have the strength to wash. After finally making a fire with Lu Chenyi to cook all the white potatoes, they gathered around and devoured them.
A few white potatoes went down to the stomach, and then they eased up a little.
Seeing that Xiaobao and Erbao were eating, Chu Junyao thought of Dabao again.
Dabao hasn't come back yet, and just as he was wondering in his heart, he heard a sound of footsteps.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw Dabao walking back a little weakly, and his lips were white.
Seeing that they had already made white potatoes, he squatted aside, picked up a white potato and ate it in a big gulp.
Dabao looked a little embarrassed to eat today, it was the first time she had seen it.
"Dabao, where have you gone, I won't see you when I go to buy chickens today."
After Dabao finished eating, he wiped his mouth flatly, but said that he was going to work outside.
He went out to work when he was only five years old? This made Chu Junyao very shocked.
"Dabao, aren't there me and your brother Lu at home? Why did you go out to work? ”
Saying that, her face was serious, the boss was really, seeing that the child was so young, she was willing to let him go to work!
Dabao had a face, but his gaze was very firm, which formed a great contrast with his immature face, which made her look a little confused.
"Grandpa is sick, I want to make money to support him, I can't let Grandpa go like this." He said this in a trembling voice. Wen Yan,
Chu Junyao couldn't believe that this child was much more mature than she imagined.
She moved her lips, but she didn't know what to say.
This kid is so mature that he will only hold everything in his heart.
After a moment of silence, she suddenly spoke.
"Don't worry, I said I would solve this matter, and I will bring the medicine to grandpa tomorrow, can you rest assured?"
But Dabao looked up at her uneasily, thinking that she was just joking with herself.
She is a woman's family, where can she go to get the money?
But it's not that easy?
When I went to the market today, Chu Junyao saw that there was a gambling house there, and many people were mixed in it, so it would be good to go there and get some money.
However, Chu Junyao and a woman actually went to the gambling house, if the people in the village knew about it, they would definitely be gossiped.
She decided to go secretly herself and not tell them.
It is also strictly forbidden for Dabao not to go again.
