Chapter 57: Buying Chickens

Walking in the bazaar, Gu Jiujiu thought that Yan asked her to buy a chicken and come back. So, she decided to buy one right now from the place where the chickens were sold.

After searching the memories in her head, Gu Jiujiu didn't know where to sell chickens, so she subconsciously turned to look at Shen Kuo and said, "Do you know where chickens are sold?" ”

"I don't know!" Shen Kuo has never bought chickens, so naturally he doesn't know where to sell chickens.

They didn't know, so Gu Jiujiu had to find a woman in a coarse cloth dress and ask.

The woman would often buy chickens in the market and stew them for her children and men, and when she saw Gu Jiujiu asking, she looked at her and pointed to the front, "Little lady, you just need to keep walking in the direction of my finger, and after turning a corner, you can find a place to sell chickens!" ”

Gu Jiujiu thanked the woman, and then walked in the direction of the woman's finger with Shen Kuo.

Sure enough, after walking for a while, Gu Jiujiu saw a place selling chickens. After taking a cursory look, Gu Jiujiu found that there were still many chicken vendors in this place.

Randomly chose a place to sell chickens and stopped, Gu Jiujiu looked at the middle-aged uncle who sold chickens and said, "Uncle, I don't know how your chickens are sold here?" ”

The uncle who sold the chickens glanced at Gu Jiujiu and smiled on his face, "Little lady, my chickens here are sold by scales." Ten copper plates per catty, chickens with more meat are more expensive, and chickens with less meat are cheaper! ”

"Oh!" Knowing how the chicken was sold, Gu Jiujiu chose a fat and big one out of dozens of chickens and pointed it to the uncle who sold the chicken, "Uncle, I want that!" ”

"Okay, little lady, wait a minute!" The uncle who sold the chickens glanced at the chickens that Gu Jiujiu was fingering, and then opened the fence around the chickens and walked in. He skillfully reached out and grabbed the chicken, and he walked out of the fence with the chicken.

Close the fence again, take the scale that was put aside, weigh the chicken with a scale, glance at the number on the scale pole, and the uncle who sold the chicken looked at Gu Jiujiu and smiled, "Little lady, this chicken is a little more than four and a half catties, I will give you the odds, you can give a whole number of forty-five copper plates!" ”

"Okay!" Gu Jiujiu nodded, and then touched forty-five copper plates from his arms and paid them to the uncle who sold chickens.

The uncle who sold the chicken smiled and took the silver money from Gu Jiujiu's hand, and then gave her a simple disposal of the chicken in his hand.

Gu Jiujiu took the chicken and gave it to Shen Kuo, and they left the place where the chicken was sold together.

In the morning, Gu Jiujiu only drank half a bowl of sweet potato porridge, and when he passed by a wonton stall sold by an old woman, Gu Jiujiu suddenly felt a little hungry.

Looking at the piping hot wontons in the pot, Gu Jiujiu hesitated to eat a bowl.

"Old woman, bring us two bowls of ravioli!" Gu Jiujiu's movements fell into Shen Kuo's eyes, and he could see that she wanted to eat wontons, so he watched the old woman ask for two bowls of wontons.

Gu Jiujiu glanced at Shen Kuo and didn't say anything, and then, she chose a seat with him and sat down.

There are not many people who eat wontons, and the old woman is not busy, so she quickly sent them the wontons they wanted, and the old woman put the wontons on the table, while looking at Gu Jiujiu and said with a smile: "Little lady, you are so handsome!" ”

Unexpectedly, the old woman would say this, Gu Jiujiu raised his head, and just met Shen Kuo's smiling eyes.
