Girlfriend's Fortune

Chapter 4

Turning down the sloping field in front of the door, a main road leads directly to the outside of the village, and there is a fork in the road when you leave the village.

Going to the right and going up along the long river outside the village is a spacious and smooth official road.

This official road is the only way to go from south to north. One end goes north and leads directly to the capital, and the other end goes south to Panshi Town and the county seat. Another branch road is cut out, which is the way from the east.

And Song Qiu turned directly onto the path on the left.

This small road goes to Ping'an Village, which is a shortcut than taking the official road. If people in their village go to Ping'an Village or the town, they always walk here.

After walking less than a mile, Song Qiu saw someone walking ahead with a basket on his back. When he got closer, he saw that it was someone from their village.

The man also smiled when he saw Song Qiu, "It's girl Qiu, are you going to Daji to sell mushrooms by yourself? Your grandma didn't come back yesterday?"

"No, Aunt Fu, are you going to Daji too? We just happen to be together." Song Qiu chased after her with a smile, and walked forward with her.

If you have someone to accompany you, you need to be more confident and bold when you walk this road. After all, the genius Ma Maliang, walking alone is still a bit scary.

This person is Aunt Mei Fu from the village head, a man just died last year, her son and daughter are not very old, she is quite nice.

The two of them were on the road together and had something to say, but it was fast. When the sky was slightly bright, they passed through several villages, and they were about to go to the big gathering in Ping'an Village.

There are also more people along the way, and they all go to Daji with their backs on their backs or burdens.

Soon at Daji, Aunt Mei Fu had sharp eyes, and happened to spot two stalls next to each other, and hurriedly dragged Song Qiu over.

No one is in charge of this big set, and there is no need to pay a fee. It is first come, first served, and it is not fixed.

Song Qiu followed Aunt Mei Fu to put the back basket down on the empty seat, and put it in front of him together with the basket.

Aunt Meifu wanted to sell a basket of eggs, and in the other basket was a raised chicken, shiny red, just looking good.

She is famous in the village for being a good chicken feeder. When others buy ten chickens, they can usually only feed six or seven, but she can raise eight or nine. Therefore, in a year, they can always come to the market for sale. a few chickens.

Song Qiu put away his things, squatted down, and looked around curiously.

Yuanshen and grandma have been to the Ping An Fair several times, but this is the first time for her to come, seeing it with her own eyes is naturally different from the memory in her mind.

It is said to be a big market, but in fact it is on a large piece of flat ground at the entrance of Ping'an Village. Sellers lined up in two facing each other, leaving a relatively spacious road in the middle.

And the end of the road is the road up the mountain to Songshan Temple.

"Sell chicken! Big red and big rooster!"

"Selling eggs! The eggs laid by our own chickens are big and delicious! Come and buy them!"

Song Qiu was looking around, when suddenly he heard Aunt Mei Fu who was next to her put away her things and opened her mouth to sell them.

She turned her head to look at her, and saw that Aunt Mayfow was yelling loudly to the left and right, and her face was quite red because of her voice.

She couldn't help being infected, she opened her mouth and shouted: "Sell mushrooms! Come and buy them! There are also fresh chili sticks, fried mushrooms with chili, it doesn't cost money if it's not delicious!"

The original body, Song Qiu, had sold things with her grandma a long time ago, and she, when she was a child in her previous life, set up a stall with her grandma in the town to sell the vegetables grown by herself.

She was most familiar with this kind of thing, almost opening her mouth, she found that nostalgic feeling.

Because of this, he yelled even harder.

The sky gradually brightened, more people went to the market, and the voices of shouting and hawking became more and more endless.

Like Song Qiu, a poor little girl with ill-fitting clothes, she is not the only one who comes to sell things.

It has just been raining for several days, and the mushrooms have just been released, and this is the first time this year that they are sold at the fair.

Soon, someone came to Song Qiu's stall, looked at Aunt Mei Fu's stall first, then squatted down and looked into the basket and asked Song Qiu, "How do you sell the mushrooms this year?"

Song Qiu remembered that last year it was sold at three pennies a catty. This is a mountain product, and usually the price will not be reduced. What's more, she asked Li Hua before going to bed last night. Jin, do you want it, auntie? How much do you want?"

When the woman heard this, she nodded, "Weigh it for me, and try something new when you go back."

Song Qiu quickly took out the small steelyard that he brought home, hung up the weight, and handed the weighing pan to the woman, who then grabbed the mushrooms from the basket and put them on the weighing pan.

The mushrooms Song Qiu picked up were mung bean fungus, red bean fungus, glutinous rice cake fungus and pine tree fungus, which were delicious, and they were cleaned very well, so the woman didn't pick them carefully, just picked a few carefully.

Seeing that it was almost done, Song Qiu picked up the rope and moved the weight to the position of a star flower. The weighing pole was slightly upturned, but she didn't take out the mushroom from the weighing pan, but Said: "Look, auntie, it's weighed for a catty!" Then it was poured directly into the woman's basket.

The woman naturally saw it clearly, smiled immediately, counted out three big coins and handed them to Song Qiu, "I still want to eat later and then I will buy it from you."

"Excellent!" Song Qiu took the copper plate, put it away carefully, and smiled happily.

With the opening, soon, two more women came here.

A woman came to ask about Aunt Mayfow's rooster. There were not many chicken sellers in this fair, and Auntie Mayfook's rooster looked more spirited than others.

"Sister, how did you sell your cock?"

Aunt Mei Fu sells too many chickens, so she naturally knows the market and is not cautious. When someone asks, she smiles and answers: "It's still the old price, forty yuan a piece. My chicken is fat and delicious!"

The price of fat chicken is about the same price, and it didn't rise fast during the Taiping period.

The woman wanted to set up two tables today, and she wanted to buy chickens. Seeing that the chickens were good and the price was right, she nodded and said, "Okay, I want it!"

Aunt Meifu quickly tied the chicken tightly with straw rope, and handed it to the woman with two wings.

Song Qiu saw another woman looking in front of his stall, so he hurriedly greeted with a smile, "Auntie, do you want mountain mushrooms? There are also peppers, which I just picked from my own field!"

Before the woman could speak, the chicken buyer had just counted forty big coins to Aunt Mei Fu, and when she heard Song Qiu yell, she looked over, "How did you sell the mushrooms this year? Give me two catties! "

"It's the same as last year, it's still three Wen a catty!" Song Qiu said with a smile, and he took the weighing plate and handed it to the woman.

The woman grabbed a few with big hands and put them on the weighing pan.

Song Qiu weighed it, and it was almost there, so he took a few flowers up by himself, and then the scale beam tilted up a little, and poured it into the woman's vegetable basket.

Seeing this, another woman also weighed a catty.

People come and go in the market, and there are a few cases of selling mountain mushrooms. Because it is the first time to eat this year, there are many people who buy it. Almost everyone will buy a catty or two catties.

And because Song Qiu is a little girl with a pretty face and can yell, her mushrooms are sold out the fastest.
