Chapter 44

"Slightly ~ slightly ~ slightly ~"

Accompanied by the crowing of the cock, the sun gradually climbed up from the sky, and woke up Fat Miao'er, Liu Ye'er, Li Xiaodao and others who were sleeping in their dreams.

Digging vegetables, picking branches, fetching water, kneading noodles, making wild vegetable dumplings, a few people cooperated tacitly, and a series of procedures were operated, which only took more than half an hour.

After finishing his work, Li Xiaodao wrapped the wild vegetable dumpling in a drawer cloth and put it in the basket as usual.

"Let's go to town."

Li Xiaodao beckoned, put his basket on his back, Wei Shu and Compass carried buckets on the left and right, Liu Ye'er and Fat Miao'er followed behind empty-handed, and the five set off.

Dashi Village is very close to the town, about two or three miles away, and it took only one stick of incense to reach the town's entrance.

The five separated, Fat Miao'er and Liu Ye'er went to the town, Li Xiaodao, Wei Shu and Luo Pan went east to the pier.

"Where shall we go first?"

Fat Miao'er took Liu Ye'er's hand, raised her head and asked.

Last night, the two of them had already discussed what they wanted to buy under the covers.

One, needles and threads can be used to sew and mend.

Second, salt, which is essential, if you don't eat salt for a long time, it will make your whole body sore and weak.

Third, the chicks should be raised as early as possible, so that they can eat eggs as soon as possible.

"Let's go to buy needles and thread first. I remember there is a grocery store nearby, then go to buy salt, and finally buy chickens." Liu Ye'er arranged clearly.

After a while, the two came out of the grocery store and bought a needle and a small ball of thread for two Wen.

Immediately afterwards they went to buy salt, a small jar of about two and a half catties, a total of [-] Wen.

"It's so expensive!" Fat Miao'er held the salt in her palm like a baby.

Without salt, there is no saltiness, and the food is not fragrant.

"We can put a little less when cooking in the future."

Liu Ye'er stretched out two fingers to gesture.

They now have a fixed income every day and can enjoy a little luxury.

"Is it heavy?" Liu Ye'er asked.

"Not sinking." Fat Miao'er shook her head.

"Then let's go and buy chickens."

Liu Ye'er grabbed Fat Cat's hand, and the two walked straight east along the main street.

Today is the market day in Qingyang Town, and there are a lot of people on the street, including small businesses in the town and villagers from nearby towns.

Some of them were carrying baskets, some carrying poles, and some carrying baskets on their backs, coming and going in a hurry.

"It's so lively!"

Fat Miao'er rolled her eyes left and right, looking at this and that, looking like a curious baby, she turned to Liu Ye'er and said, "Let's go to the market too!"

The fair in Qingyang Town is every five and ten, and Fat Miaoer has been here for so long, but he has never been to the fair.

"Okay!" Liu Ye'er nodded.

"There should be some chickens selling in the fair, let's go ask the price and pick the cheapest ones."

The two were walking and talking, when suddenly a loud voice came to their ears, Fat Miao'er stopped and took a closer look, it turned out that there were many villagers gathered around a notice, pointing and discussing something.

"Let's go and see."

Fat Miao'er became interested, and pulled Liu Ye'er to the back of the crowd.

However, she is short, jumping up and down on tiptoes and shaking left and right, but she can't see what is written on the notice in front.

"Uncle, what is written on it?"

Fat Miao'er grabbed a big man casually and asked in a soft voice.

This man was also illiterate, but luckily he came early and listened to the contents of it being relayed by others.

"It's not about the Wang family losing the cat. I heard that the old lady got angry and raised the reward. Anyone who finds the cat will give ten taels of silver."

The man said exaggeratedly, with a look of longing and envy on his face, wishing that the cat would appear in his arms immediately so that he could receive the reward.

"Twelve?"

Even though Liu Ye'er had a calm personality, she couldn't help but exclaim.

Ten taels of silver!She had never seen so much money in her life.

"It would be great if I could find this cat." Liu Ye'er said.

"Yes!" Fat Miao'er scratched her head, her brows furrowed.

She is a cat, but how is she going to find another cat?
"Don't think about it, there are too many people looking for cats!"

The person next to him chuckled when he heard the conversation between Fat Miao'er and Liu Ye'er.

"The entire Qingyang Town was turned upside down by the Wang family, and the cat was never found."

"Oh! What you said is wrong." Another person retorted.

"Two days ago, I also heard that someone saw the cat at the entrance of the alley on the north side of the street. Unfortunately, the cat ran too fast and didn't catch it."

"That's a pity, they can't catch it but give us a chance."

"Let's go, let's find the cat!"

"Go to the cat! Go to the cat!"

"Find the cat! Find the cat!"

A group of people left in a hurry.

Fat Miao'er turned to look at Liu Ye'er: "Let's go find the chicken."

"Yes, we're not looking for cats, we're looking for chickens." Liu Ye'er pursed her lips and smiled.

The two followed the nearby villagers to the market. The market was located in the south of the town. It was a small place, but it was very lively. It sold everything, including eggs, vegetables, pots and pans, needles and threads, sachets, cattail fans, and velvet flowers. , rouge gouache, sugar figures, cakes.

In addition to these, there are many food shops around her, among which bun shops are the main ones.

As soon as Fat Miao'er passed by, she saw a family of hot steamed buns coming out of the oven, and she had a unique appetite.

Her eyes stared straight for a moment, and the word "want to eat" was almost written on her small forehead.

"Gollum!"

Even though he had eaten breakfast, his stomach still growled untimely.

"Pfft!" Liu Ye'er couldn't help laughing, touched Fat Miao'er's fleshy belly, and joked: "Our Fat Miao'er's belly is a little glutton, right?"

"Hey!" Fat Miao'er laughed dryly.

Walking away from the steamed stuffed bun shop, she followed Liu Ye'er to a stall selling chicks. The stall was set up by a 40-year-old woman.

"Mother, how did you sell this little chicken?"

Liu Ye'er took a careful look. There are a total of twelve little chicks in this chicken coop, and each one is very strong.

"Eight characters and one piece."

The woman looked up at Fat Meow'er Liu Ye'er, then lowered her eyelids.

"Ba Wen!"

Fat Miao'er pursed her lips, and said dissatisfiedly, "Eight penny is too expensive, an egg is only one penny."

"Yes, ma'am, this is too expensive!"

Liu Ye'er answered the conversation and discussed, "Let's make it cheaper."

"Cheap?"

The woman shook her head again and again: "It's only eight pennies, no bargaining, it can't be any cheaper."

"If you don't believe me, just go around the market and ask, who's chick is less than eight cents."

The woman made a strong promise, and the uncle on the side also nodded: "Most old hens brood in spring, and there are fewer broods at this time, so the price must be more expensive."

"Okay!" Liu Ye'er nodded: "Then I want four, you are giving me a little chicken."

The chicken bell didn't have much money, and I made it up by myself. The woman agreed without thinking, and stretched out her hand to catch the little chicken for Liu Ye'er.

"and many more!"

A chubby hand came across, blocking her movements.
