The procession walked down the streets, and on both sides of the road there were people selling vegetables from the fields, wild fruits from the mountains, and fruits from their own fruit trees, such as cherries.

The old woman who sold cherries squatted there with a basket in front of her with cherries and a pile of reed leaves and bamboo leaves next to it.

"Auntie, how do you sell cherries?" The fifth Zhu Hu began to frown when he saw the cherry, and simply asked.

The old woman looked nervous, someone came to tell her to do whatever she had to do, no need to kneel, and don't run.

Now that she knew the reason, the prince came out for a walk, and she looked at the basket in front of her: "Go back...... Ask! Look at giving things, change, the North Yuan is not worth the money, if there is less copper and more tin, it is better to have treasure money, and a dime is given to a large bamboo tube. ”

Zhu Hu squatted down and picked up the bamboo tube in the basket, and estimated that a bamboo tube can hold more than a pound of cherries, and it is only sold for a dime, ten catties a penny?

"Auntie, did you sell us cheaply?" Zhu Di didn't know the price of cherries.

"How can there be! When there are cherries, everyone has them, and there is no shortage of fruits on the mountain, and no one buys them when they are expensive, and the grain is expensive and hurts the people, and the grain is cheap and hurts the farmers, and there are too many things that are worthless. The old woman shook her head.

"Auntie still knows this!"

"The sergeant in the village taught us not to sell the grain if we can, because the grain is all down this month, and the price is not high.

Thanks to His Royal Highness the King of Jin, he exempted the field endowment, did not pay the field endowment, and kept it for himself to eat, so he would not be afraid when he was not green and yellow next year.

Hello sergeants, Xiaohu is right, first find a way to sell something, change it to salt, and don't throw the millet out easily.

When it's expensive, you don't have money to sell it, and you generally don't lack money, and you can still wear clothes or something.

Let's give you this basket of cherries! I don't know who His Royal Highness the King of Jin is, give it to you, you take it, there is still it on the tree in the yard of the house. ”

The old woman said that she was going to give away a basket of cherries, and looking at her expression, it didn't seem to be a fake.

"No, I, you, this ......" Zhu Di put his hands in front of him, and he didn't pick it up or push it.

"That's right, saying that it's going to be a cherry cake, which is better than hawthorn cake." I want a bell and can eat it.

"Good!" Zhu Di was relieved, looked at the basket, and received it in his hand: "Buy the basket together, auntie, you go home and make it up, give it to ......"

When he wanted to give money, Zhu Di was worried again, he didn't know how much.

"Give, five cents, if the eldest lady doesn't take it, she will harm His Royal Highness the King of Jin, His Royal Highness the King of Jin loves the people like a son, and he will not ask for things from the people in vain."

A girl from Xiaqiu Village next to her came over and handed over the money, five cents, including the purchase of a shoulder basket and cherries inside.

The shoulder basket can hold more than 20 catties, all bought, give two dollars to the other party also agreed, the shoulder basket is finely braided, with a thin basket of willows, not wattles, thorns are better to weave soil baskets, that is, the kind of soil, so you have to delay a day's work, to Sanwen.

The local labor is not valuable, the old woman weaves a basket a day, and if she can sell it for three dollars, she will speed up and work hard to make two a day.

"That'...... Let's take it, let's ...... Don't let you kneel, Your Royal Highness King Jin, you will live a long life. The old woman said to Zhu Di.

"I am King Yan, King Jin is our brother, and Qian ......" Zhu Di held the basket in his hand and looked left and right while explaining.

"They all live a long life." The old woman smiled embarrassedly.

"Auntie, I'll give you change, fifty dime treasure bills, you can take them out and spend them."

The girl took out the money from the satchel, she knew what money the other party needed, and it was not good to spend a treasure banknote of five cents.

"Auntie go back to remember the dried fruits, we will harvest any dried fruits, cherries are not good for dry fruits, there are not so many things to make preserved fruits, you still pick and sell us.

There are other people's cherry trees in the village, tell them, pick them together, let's drive over and get them, there is a boat by the river.

There are copper coins, silver, and gold at home, and if you want to exchange them for treasure money, we will change them, and the sergeants who go to the village will bring less. ”

Ling'er took the money and helped count it again, and stuffed it into the old woman.

"Hey~~ I know, yes, there are still some red ones on the cherry trees, I'll pick the red ones and take them down."

The old woman happily took the money, and her face smiled like a flower, obviously cash was better than other things.

She stood still and looked at the people in the group.

It was impossible for Zhu Di to carry the basket by himself, and the people next to him helped take it away, and went back to wait to make cherry cakes.

Then I bought all the way, as long as there was something to sell, including the dustpan made by others.

"Sister Ling'er, there are craftsmen in our team, how can we buy things made by others?"

Xie Qiaoer felt sorry for money, she thought that craftsmen were more skilled than ordinary people in basket weaving, so they should use it.

"Craftsmen are busy with other things, and when they are not working, they have to rest, and good steel has to be used on the blade.

Others weave a big basket a day, and our good craftsmen weave five a day, which does not reflect their value and is a loss-making business.

They have to design construction drawings, work as supervisors, and manufacture machine parts.

Unless we need to use woven things as mats at mechanical joints, this ordinary person can't do it, and the craftsman will take action. ”

Ling'er is reasonable, can you ask Wang Yiqian to push sand? Even if people are resting, they can't do rough work, and when they are resting, they may ponder other techniques.

Most of the craftsmen who came were apprentices, and their skills were already very high, but they were not up to the level of the previous batch of craftsmen.

At the same time, because of his youth, the skills he learned are relatively simple, and he has to learn other things and strive to become a generalist.

……

"I'm tired of shopping! Feel uncomfortable, alas! ”

When the team came back at noon, Zhu Li hesitated whether to take a shower, and wiped his sweat with emotion.

Zhu Fan looked around, probably also wanted to take a shower: "Everything you see is poor, the children's hands and feet have long nails, they wear straw sandals woven from millet straw and reeds, no one cares if they are broken, their hands and feet are all black, and they are easy to get sick." ”

"That can't be helped." The fifth Zhu Hu spread his hands: "You can't always compare the prosperity of a street in Xiaqiu Village, Nanjing, we also want to call everywhere the same as that side." ”

"Let's take a shower, won't you?" Zhu Di didn't want to think about anything else at all, he sweated.

So the four of them went back to their respective places to take a shower, and the others also rushed if they were enough.

For example, Xie Qiaoer and her mother, her personal maid and her mother's personal maid, her mother's personal maid is her personal maid's mother.

The girls from Xiaqiu Village went to take a bath with them, and Xie Cheng washed with his wife and his wife's personal maid.

People who usually exercise a lot sweat less when they are not working, and some children run like crazy since they were young, and they don't sweat much at all before the age of ten.

Zhu Wentian was like this, but he still followed the man's little friend and the chief to go and rinse again, without soap, let alone washing his hair.

When lunch is ready, the thin shredded kelp is cut and mixed with garlic, and some people come out and pull the wire next to it and blow their hair with a hair dryer.

Zhu Wentian looked at Xie Cheng, fortunately, he didn't take the opportunity to do extra things in the bath, and the four princes knew the rules even more.

"These are kelp silks, which can be used to make many dishes after being dried and soaked, steaming, boiling porridge, boiling soup, stir-frying, cold dressing, etc., and the seaside begins to breed, using a rope mixed with cotton and linen, tied to a large piece of wood."

The governor told the local officials that pearls, kelp, cauliflower, and seaweed must all be cultivated, and it is troublesome to pick them wildly.
