Chapter 61: Shopping
After solving these things, Ye Xuanxuan was in a good mood. Ye Erya and Ye Bao'er breathed a sigh of relief since they came out of the He Mansion, they were really not used to such a high-ranking family. Ye Xuanxuan looked at them and looked a lot more relaxed, and smiled and took Ye Erya and Ye Baoer to go shopping.
It was delayed for a while at the He family, that is, it was the end of the day. The three of them decided to shop first and buy what they liked.
They came to the main street, and it was very bustling with people outside. As soon as I inquired, I found out that today is a market, no wonder there are so many people.
The three of them looked here and there, casually but excitedly.
Ye Xuanxuan thinks it's not bad to go around like this, look at the old couple who pinch the clay man for a while, and look at the uncle who blows the candy for a while, in short, all kinds of delicious and fun things attract them.
Seeing that there were sugar gourds for sale, Ye Xuanxuan immediately went over and bought four.
The other one is naturally for Grandpa Liu, whether he eats it or not, this is their intention.
Ye Bao'er was so happy that she couldn't do it, her eyes kept smiling, and she called the sugar gourd delicious.
Ye Erya and Ye Xuanxuan looked at him with a smile, and their hearts were also sweet.
The sugar gourds here are not as beautiful as modern ones, there are no good-looking colored decorations or raisins and walnuts or anything to match, and they look very simple. But because it's so ordinary, it's the healthiest food. Thinking of the additives now, Ye Xuanxuan also complained in her heart, and after tasting the sugar gourd here, her heart was also sweet.
There were other things on the side of the road, but Ye Xuanxuan didn't buy them for them. Because if you buy it and Ye Jin finds out, you will have to make trouble.
Although Ye Baoer looked happy and envious of other children holding toys, she did not clamo to ask Ye Xuanxuan to buy it for him.
Ye Erya only looked at it with a smile, reluctantly eating the sugar gourd, with a little curiosity in her eyes, looking around.
There are also some roadside sellers selling combs, umbrellas, and lanterns. There are also some wooden hairpins made by herself or something, Ye Xuanxuan didn't look at them much after taking a look.
After all, she had seen better, and she was indifferent to these things.
However, there are also those who sell rouge gouache and pancreatic ones next to it. Ye Xuanxuan couldn't walk when she saw this, she couldn't ignore it without shower gel, but it was uncomfortable without soap! Seeing that it is sold here, it is natural to buy it.
Ye Xuanxuan called Ye Erya and Ye Bao'er to gather to see the stall selling fragrant pancreas, which was sold by an old woman carrying a small basket. Maybe she did it, or her family did it! Look at her simple clothes, and she is also linen with patches, the vicissitudes of life, and the wrinkled face and rough and chapped hands. At a glance, it was from a poor family, but the old woman didn't show any unusual looks when she saw Ye Xuanxuan and them approaching. Not only that, when she saw Ye Xuanxuan's three children walking towards her, she also smiled with a face, and her wrinkled old face was like a chrysanthemum.
"Kid, just take a look! It's all homemade. The old woman probably liked children, although she looked at the three children of the Ye family in shabby clothes, she also greeted them warmly.
Ye Xuanxuan motioned to her younger brothers and sisters to call someone, and the old woman liked it even more when she saw that the three children were obedient and polite. Ye Xuanxuan nodded with a smile and said, "Old woman, how do you sell this fragrant pancreas?" After speaking, he reached out and took out a piece of milky white fragrant pancreas, looked at it, and sniffed it again.
Because it's made by hand, it's worse, but it's the size of a palm. Ye Xuanxuan took the milky white one, and the old woman's basket was yellow with transparent kinds, some like modern laundry soap. However, in terms of two colors, Ye Xuanxuan smelled the smell of ordinary soap, but there may be something else added, but it doesn't smell bad.
The old woman looked at the older little girl with the fragrant pancreas and looked at it and sniffed it, and she was also curious, and explained to her with a smile: "Child, these are all made by my daughter-in-law when she is free, and what she does at home is not worth anything." If the child wants it, the old woman will give you a piece. As he spoke, he took out a piece of pancreatic from under the cloth containing the pancreas in the basket, which was only half the size of the previous one, and handed it over. also signaled Ye Xuanxuan to take it, no money.
Ye Xuanxuan was slightly stunned and a little stunned. There are always good Samaritans! But she naturally won't take advantage of the old man's cheapness, and the old man probably won't have a good time, otherwise he would come out to set up a stall at such an old age. Besides, now that I have money with myself, I naturally can't take other people's things for nothing.
Ye Xuanxuan waved her hand and refused: "Old woman, I don't want you to give this fragrant pancreas for nothing, it shouldn't be easy at your house." He hurriedly added a few words, blocking the old woman's words to persuade her: "I took my younger brothers and sisters out to go shopping today with money!" The old woman will tell the truth, how much is this fragrant pancreas? After speaking, he took out dozens of copper coins from his arms, and the meaning was obvious, they had to buy them, and they had money.
The old woman listened to her words and saw that she took out the money, and when she thought of the daughter-in-law and little granddaughter of the family, she had to nod: "Then the child, you can give five wen!" As he spoke, he stuffed the milky white pancreas that Ye Xuanxuan had seen before into her hand.
Looking at such an honest old woman, Ye Xuanxuan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. However, there are countless good people and poor people in this world, and I can't think too much about it. So she counted ten cents and handed it over, and took a piece of transparent yellow fragrant pancreas. When the old woman saw that she took two pieces of fragrant pancreas at once, she hurriedly persuaded her that one piece could be used for a long time, and that there was no need to buy two. Although she knew that the old man was thinking about herself, Ye Xuanxuan felt that the two pieces of fragrant pancreas were naturally useful before she bought them. Ye Xuanxuan only said that one more piece of her family was not enough, the old woman nodded helplessly, and took out a small piece of fragrant pancreas from before and gave it to her, saying that she bought two pieces and gave her some heads.
Ye Xuanxuan refused, but in the end, she accepted it with a somewhat gloomy look when she looked at the old woman.
asked the old woman if she would come here every once in a while to buy fragrant pancreas, Ye Xuanxuan also nodded and said goodbye to her, and the three fragrant pancreas were put into the back basket, and the three of them continued to shop.
Until she saw a woman in her thirties setting up a stall selling head flowers, she walked over and took a look.
The woman also wore silk flowers on her head, but it was made of cotton, and she wore a blue-gray linen garment, and it seemed that life was quite difficult.
Ye Xuanxuan picked up the silk flower and looked at it, nodded and put it down.
Calling out to the younger sister and younger brother on the side, the three of them walked in the direction of the city gate and walked out of the main street.
It was almost eleven or twelve o'clock at noon, and it was almost time for lunch. Thinking of what she said before, Ye Xuanxuan turned around and went back again.
