Fertile land

Chapter 32

The two of them walked non-stop for more than an hour before reaching the town.

There are farmland all the way along the road, and farmers are planting in the fields. Because it is summer, there are corns half as tall as a person, vegetables, and soybean seedlings...

The scenery is lush and green, and the sky gets brighter as we walk.

Luo Zhi'er touched the beads of sweat and looked at the sky. The sun was rising in the east. He raised the bamboo tube and drank some water and continued walking!

Her legs swayed when she walked and her heels hurt. It would be nice if she had a bullock cart...

Li Sanmao told her to take a breath, but she didn't. She knew that she was walking too slowly and couldn't waste any more time!
When we arrived at the town, we were already about to see the sun rise, and we were almost at the city gate. We could see many pedestrians walking in a hurry on the avenue outside the city gate.

There are also carriages, mule carts, donkeys, some carrying burdens on foot, some pushing wheelbarrows...

She found that the clothes and hair accessories worn by the people here were similar to those worn by people in the Song Dynasty on TV.

As we approached the city gate and crossed the bridge, we saw many people queuing up and the queue was long.

It was the gatekeeper checking the passers-by. The red-painted outer wall of the city gate wall made the overall shape of a tall tower city.

Looking up high, there are soldiers holding the handles on top...

Li Sanmao was carrying a backpack on his back, with beads of sweat on his head. It must have been half a quarter of an hour by the time they passed.

As soon as you enter the city, you will see a particularly spacious green brick avenue.

Rows of red-painted and yellow-tiled houses are neatly lined up on both sides. These houses display merchandise, similar to the facade houses on modern streets.

These buildings are very simple. There are shops selling fruit, steamed buns, rouge and gouache, pens, inks, paper and inkstones, various snacks, drinks, restaurants, dry goods...

There was an endless stream of pedestrians coming and going, some wearing silk and satin, and others like them, ordinary people wearing ordinary clothes.

On the street, people are inquiring and buying goods in shops, and there are jugglers along the way, selling rattles, candied haws, needlework, etc.

It was much more prosperous and lively than she imagined...

After entering, he followed the flow of people and walked for a while. Li Sanmao carried a backpack and planned to go to the market where game was usually sold.

Luo Zhi'er followed him.

The two of them arrived late to sell their goods, as some vendors in the town and surrounding neighboring villages came to occupy their seats before dawn.

This is the main market for shopping. The further you go in, the more people there become.

After finally arriving at the old place, Luo Zhi'er was sweating. The place where the street stalls were set up was already full and there was no room left.

This is a mobile stall. After walking around, she finally saw one or two empty ones. She wanted to put them up but was stopped by Li Sanmao.

"Daughter-in-law, I paid the monthly rent for this, and this is a fixed-position stall..."

"Oh!"

And the place where he used to sell mountain products has long been occupied by others, and they are selling eggs.

The two of them wandered around for a few times, and finally found a little space where the corners of the corner were drooped, and squeezed in.

The lady selling spring onions next to her was pretty good, and Li Sanmao knew her before.

"Aunt Chen!"

"Is it Sanmao? Are you here to sell game again today?"

"Yeah, you see, the seats are all full."

"There are a lot of people in the morning, so come and squeeze in next to me. Look, my spring onions will be sold out soon, so you can just display them here."

"That's great, thank you Aunt Chen!"

"Why are you so polite? Is this your wife?"

"Yes, Zhi'er, this is Aunt Chen."

"Hello Aunt Chen! Your business is so good. You sold out as soon as we arrived!"

"Haha, it's not bad. I'm lucky. A big customer came to the restaurant this morning and bought twenty kilograms at once. You guys hurry up and put it away."

Aunt Chen moved a little space, Li Sanmao put down his backpack, took away the piece of cloth, and took out the dried game...

Luo Zhi'er also placed the chicken fir fungus oil and the shredded bamboo shoots next to her...

There were only a few people who came to inquire about bacon all morning, but no one asked about her chicken fungus oil and shredded bamboo shoots...

I took one look and left...

These city people are also thieves. After asking about the price of bacon, they will not buy it, or they will lower the price to two cents lower than the previous fifteen cents per pound.

Being rejected by Li Sanmao, his parents would definitely be angry if he bought less, and he also felt it was not a good deal!

These people continued to wander around, wasting their time without any hurry, to see if he would sell it in the afternoon.

When she came, she found that there were also game sellers on this street.

The price is lower than Li Sanmao's, but the smoked and dried meat is not as good as Li Sanmao's meat.

Luo Zhi'er couldn't see it, straightened her skirt, and immediately shouted on the street like a modern salesman,

"Don't miss it if you are passing by. Come and take a look at our smoked game, shredded bamboo shoots, and mushroom oil!"

Everyone was also attracted by her clear shouts, and they didn't know how cute she was, but when they took a closer look, they turned out to be a big fat lady.

It was indeed attractive and someone came up and asked, "Fat aunt, what is your Fructus Fructus oil? Can you try it?"

Fat aunt?
A crow's cry flashed through Luo Zhi'er's mind, what?How come she still looks like this after dressing up all morning?

Fortunately, Li Sanmao also said that it looked good.

It was too late for her to think, so she should answer his question first.

He said politely,

"I'm sorry, big brother, you can't taste this."

"Because it is made of animal fat and has solidified. This is used to mix with noodles or rice while it is hot."

"What? Selling food but you can't taste it? So what are you selling?"

After the man finished speaking, he turned around and left without even looking back!
"Hey, wait!"

"Forget it, Zhi'er, wait for the next one!"

Luo Zhi'er was depressed and didn't cook some noodles or steam some white rice to bring it, but it was cold even after being brought from such a distance, and it didn't taste the same.

There are no noodles at home, and rice has never been seen...

How to do?
There is freshly cooked rice here and freshly cooked noodles!
"This fat lady, what is this thread-like thing?"

Said a young man with an unshaven beard and a bit of slovenliness, who was making fried chicken buns.

He looked a little dirty and rolled his eyes, "Is it cooked?"

"Brother, this is called shredded bamboo shoots. It's cooked. It's made from wild bamboo shoots in the mountains. It can be fried or stewed in soup!" "Oh? Can I try it?"

"Brother, you can't eat it like this!"

One big brother at a time?Not only is this woman fat as a ball, she also has bad eyesight!

Pulling away the messy hair scattered in front of his forehead,

"You're lying, this is obviously cooked, but you can't eat it yet. I think you're just afraid that someone else is trying to eat it, and you won't be able to eat it!"

"I said, Fatty, you can't do business like this. With such a big body, you are so stingy. You can't try this or eat that. If you can't taste it, who will buy it?"

"How about eating dead people?"

He raised his neck and shouted loudly.

The eyes of people around fell on her...

"This…"

"Okay, let me try it!"

Yubi grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth. He spit it out as soon as he chewed it!
The evil voice and evil spirit said,
"What the hell is this? It's so salty that even pigs won't eat it! Bah!"

"Hurry up and get the mental compensation, otherwise, huh! You can't even think of setting up a stall here!"

Luo Zhi'er thought to herself, did she meet a street bully?
"What did you say?"

Li Sanmao suddenly stood up, "Sir! You took our food and ate it without our permission. It was a good thing that we didn't ask you to compensate us. Why are you burying people?" "

The ruffian looked at it and said, Huh?Does this fat woman still have someone to protect her?
Because Aunt Chen was gone, Luo Zhi'er had been guarding the chicken fungus oil and shredded bamboo shoots.

She is fat and has difficulty moving, and she looks strange. You can tell at a glance that she is the first one to come back!

He thought she was selling this alone and finally found someone to take advantage of!
I spent the whole night under the bridge last night, hoping to try my luck with someone...

"Yo! This fat ugly woman even has a male guard!"

Li Sanmao shook his hands, his fingers squeaking, and looked at him coldly,
"She is my wife, shouldn't I protect her?"

"No, she is so ugly...fat..."

"Ugly? Fat? Doesn't exist! Is it a single or something like that?"

Fingers crunching...

"What?"

This man must be blind, the chill in his eyes makes his hair stand on end!

"No, hahaha, brother, are you so upset because you can't get a wife?"

"Brother, I can introduce you to a beautiful little widow...that figure...tsk..."

"Um…?"

The little bastard was convinced that he was still unmoved and treated him coldly...

"Oh, my stomach hurts. You've ruined my stomach with your bamboo shoots!" The man hugged his stomach and rolled his eyes...

"Really? Come on, follow me to the Yamen!"

"What? Brother, it's a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding!"

"Brother, I'm leaving now!"

Run away!
Seeing him running away in despair, Luo Zhi'er looked back at Li Sanmao!

Li Sanmao crossed his arms and followed the retreating figure of the little Zha San with his eyes.

"Here, did you meet a bully?"

"Hmph! What kind of bully? Little Yakuza, it's your honor to meet your Grandpa Sanmao today!"

Luo Zhi'er suddenly felt that Li Sanmao was taller!
The man narrowed his eyes,

"What? Why do you look at your husband like this?"

Look at her stupidity,

"Or are you... fascinated by your man?"

"Ah? No, no!"

The round head swings like a rattle...

"I just think..."

"What do you think? Do you feel tall and mighty?"

"Narcissistic! I was wondering if you were thinking about that little widow with a great figure!"

"Haha, are you jealous? Don't love your husband more!"

"What are you talking about!"

"Oh, could it be possible that I loved you before?"

"roll!"

This stinky man was quite evil, so the two of them had a small fight and scolded each other.

"Miao Miao, mother, why are you still blushing!"

"you!"

Raise your fist and hit him a few times...

The vendor at the next stall didn't expect that this fat woman and her husband were very jealous of her!

It's amazing!

Unknowingly, it was noon and not a single piece of meat was sold, let alone anything else...

They also know that these people are probably waiting for the afternoon to buy at a lower price if they can't sell.

The two of them walked the mountain road all morning and sold things. They were really hot and hungry, and she was a little dizzy for the obese woman...

"Daughter-in-law, are you okay?"

Li Sanmao looked at Luo Zhi'er, his face was red, and he was squatting aside, fanning himself and panting...

"Husband, I feel exhausted all over, there are dark circles in front of my eyes, and I feel dizzy, but it's okay, I can persevere!"

Li Sanmao was a little impatient. His wife was weak and she had traveled such a long distance in the morning. She was afraid of climbing mountains and walking long distances before.
