Chapter 6 Going to the Market
While it was still dark, Song Yiren went to the house of Aunt Li who was closest to her house, the aunt who helped her talk when she quarreled with the dog couple last time.

The village is large and there are not so many people, so not every household is next to each other.For example, her home is at the entrance of the village, and it is only three or fifty meters away that there is someone else's house. The nearest one is Aunt Li's house.

Although the original owner was not good to his own daughter, but he has a soft personality to the outside world. In addition, people in the village have always known that the girl was exploited by her parents, so most people in the village feel sorry for her. If there is a need, they can lend a helping hand. .

Hmph, the original owner is really a typical nester, the persimmons are so soft!Song Yiren snorted coldly.

I asked Aunt Li about the town's market, the wharf, etc., and agreed to go to the town's market together the next day, and entrusted the small dumpling to Aunt Li's eldest daughter-in-law, Sujuan, on the second day?
Early the next morning, before dawn, Song Yiren woke up.In ancient times, there was no alarm clock or anything. She was afraid of getting up late and delaying going to the market. As a result, she couldn't sleep well all night, so she woke up early.

She got up and washed up, and made two bowls of pimple soup with the little flour left. She and Xiaotuanzi each had a bowl.

"Yinyin, mother wants to go out, Yinyin goes to Grandma Li's house, and takes her younger brother to play with Cuixi and Er Niu, mother earns money to cook delicious food for Yinyin!"

"Mother, then you must come back to pick up Yinyin!" Xiaotuanzi was still worried that Song Yiren would abandon her.

Song Yiren packed up the basket and came out, putting the seven copper coins in her pocket, just when Aunt Li was leaving the village, she passed by her door and called her.Aunt Li's eldest daughter-in-law also followed and picked up Xiaotuanzi.

About ten miles to the town, there is an ox cart to ride, but it requires money, one copper coin for each person going back and forth.In order to save money, Song Yiren and Aunt Li decided to walk. Anyway, the time to go out was early, and the road was not too far away.

On the way, Aunt Li and Song Yiren chatted one after another.

"Yi Ren, that woman made a fuss yesterday, and I don't see your husband today, what happened in the end?"

"Auntie, don't mention him again, I will live with the two children by myself in the future!" Song Yiren said while holding his belly.

"Yiren, don't think I'm talkative. My aunt has watched you grow up. You have suffered so much since you were a child that you are what you are today! From now on, you are a woman with two children. How can you live? You tolerate that woman. Maybe... this day can go on!"

"Auntie, I know you are kind, but I am not the only one who has the final say on this matter. From now on, I will have to earn my life for the sake of the two children, but you also know that my natal family is like that, and I must trouble you to help me." Hand!" Yi Ren quickly took the opportunity to win over a helper, planning for her future life in this world.

"Hey! I can do it. I see that you speak and act quickly today, and I am also happy! After such an incident, you are no longer as soft as before! Auntie is also happy for you!" Although Aunt Li was still worried, But I'm also happy to see her bright and agile, holding Song Yiren's hand.

"It's just..." Aunt Li's joyful expression just now changed suddenly.

"Auntie, just tell me what you have, I am in this situation, and I need your advice!"

"What advice, I'm not a teacher in that school either!"

"It's just. Your old lady, I was in the village yesterday to inquire about you and your husband. Sooner or later they will know. At the beginning they wanted to make you a concubine and now they don't know what they are thinking. Be careful. good."

Song Yiren thanked her, but didn't take it too seriously. She was twenty-two, and although she was still a little girl in modern times, she was already a wife here, not to mention that she had a child with her, and she still had one in her belly. !

After talking, I went to the market in the town.

"Sister-in-law, look at the fresh river fish today!"

"Rice and noodles! It's half a penny cheaper than food shops!"

Song Yiren held seven copper coins and walked around, thinking about how to allocate them.

Going to the market is indeed cheaper, white flour costs two and a half pennies per catty.Cornmeal is cheap, only a penny a catty.Brown rice can buy two or three catties for a penny!Now is the right time for green vegetables, and a copper coin can buy a catty.

Meat is expensive, and a catty of pork costs twelve copper coins, but pig offal, pig feet, etc. are very cheap. Usually, the meat seller takes the lead, and if they sell it, it only costs two or three copper coins.

Don't think about beef, both Daliang and neighboring countries are farming countries, and cattle are the main labor force, and slaughtering without reason is not allowed.However, if there is a disability, it can be reported to the government and slaughtered after approval.Therefore, rich and noble families will disable a few cows every year, but ordinary people may not eat the last beef in a year!
A catty of eggs also costs five copper coins. These days, eggs are all native eggs, and there is not much distinction between good and bad.

By the way, I also inquired about the wages of the workers on the wharf. They don't care whether they eat or not, and the basic wage is [-] copper coins a day.

But if you work for an extra hour, you will be given four more copper coins, and most people will work a little longer to subsidize their families.

In the end, Song Yiren put a little more than a catty of flour in his back basket, which cost three copper coins.One catty of corn flour is one copper plate.I bought another penny of brown rice!
Thinking that there are still half a jar of lard at home, it can be used for a while.Song Yiren stood in front of the pork shop, holding the last three copper coins tightly, his palms sweating slightly.

"Butcher shop lady, how do you sell the offal and pig's trotters?"

"This thing is not easy to clean up. I don't know how much flour and salt it costs!"

There was a couple selling pork, the man was at the back, chopping something with his back to Song Yiren, and the woman was standing in front of the shop, answering the customers who came to buy things.

"It doesn't matter, lady, you just talk about how to sell it!"

"Take away the three pennies, and I won't keep the pickled things!" The butcher shop lady saw that Yi Ren was pregnant and dressed in ordinary clothes, so she didn't ask for more.

The search lady sighed in her heart: They are all poor people, why bother!
"Madam of the butcher shop, my family is poor, and the man died again. I am pregnant, and there is a three-year-old child waiting for food with his mouth open! Two copper coins, you take care of me, and I will patronize you in the future Is this stall okay?" Song Yiren smiled flatteringly at the butcher's lady.

The butcher shop lady hesitated for a while, perhaps remembering the hardships of her own pregnancy and childbirth, and finally said: "Here, my lady, you are a widow at such a young age, the days to come..."

The butcher shop lady is also a kind person, if she doesn't ask this young lady to patronize her, she just can't see the widowed lady and children who can't even eat their mouths for a while!
"Okay! Thank you, lady of the butcher shop! I will definitely come again next time!" Song Yiren's eyes widened, his pupils were shining, and he thanked the lady of the butcher shop with a smile on his lips.

The lady of the butcher shop smiled sincerely at the young lady who had such an outstanding appearance but lost her husband. She couldn't help feeling a little more sympathetic, and replied "Hey!"

Because I carried things in the back basket, my walking slowed down.Although it was only ten miles from the town back to Songjiazhuang, it took almost an hour to walk abruptly.

At the entrance of the village, Song Yiren put the basket back home without locking the door, and followed Aunt Li to her house to pick up Xiaotuanzi.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the yard, he heard Aunt Li's eldest daughter-in-law crying.
