Peasant girl who traveled through time: I brought an earth with me

Chapter 13
On the way back, she met a small vendor selling chicken nuggets.

Dozens of chicks were placed in a wooden box, which was lined with a thick layer of sawdust to keep warm.

"Little lady, do you want to buy a chicken? Six cents each." The chicken stall sold the chicken vigorously.

The temperature is getting colder day by day, and many of these chickens will not survive. If they cannot be sold, they may have to be thrown into their own hands.

Zhong Chuchu really wants to raise a few chickens. She has many ways to keep the chickens warm. If it doesn't work, she can let Blue Star raise them for a while. She will never let the chicks die.

"Boss, six cents for one is too expensive. I'm afraid it's hard to support them in this weather. If you pay less, I'll buy more."

The stall owner frowned, wondering how this deal was a good deal, when the chicken in the box fell down with a plop.

The two stared at each other: "."

In the end, Zhong Chuchu selected the liveliest one and bought ten of them for four cents each.

The vendor generously gave her a chicken coop.

Zhong Chuchu walked home carrying the chicken coop, ran past the stall selling steamed buns, and bought four more meat buns. She could heat them up later and eat them directly, saving on cooking.

As I approached the door of my home, I saw a group of women sitting under an old willow tree sewing cloth shoes. Everyone was chatting and laughing.

Seeing Zhong Chuchu coming back with a cage of chickens, she asked curiously: "Dabao Niang, are you going to the market today?"

"Are you making money? Why did you buy so many chickens? It's hard to raise them now. Don't let them all die by then."

It was Ms. Zhou who spoke, she curled her lips and sneered.

Zhong Chuchu was too lazy to pay attention to her and just followed a few other women to say hello.

"It's not like I found some fruit in the mountains. I'm not lucky. I sold some money to buy a few chickens to feed. It can be regarded as adding something to the family."

"We still have two young children at home. If we don't make some money, we, mother and son, will starve to death. During these days, I always dream about my children's father. He tells me to take good care of my two children!" She burst into tears as she spoke. It flowed down, looking pitiful to me.

We all live in the same town, and these women are just a bit gossipy, but most of them have good hearts.

Otherwise, it can be said that women sympathize with women the most. Several sisters-in-law who usually dislike her are more pleased with her this time when they see her pitiful look and thinking about her children.

"Oh, it's unlucky for a girl like you to be in Dabao Xiaobao stall."

"I'm afraid you won't be able to feed these chicks if you buy them. You'd better go back and get some hay right away to make a nest for them. Put them in the house where they won't be blown by the wind. Maybe a few of them will survive."

Zhong Chuchu nodded gratefully at the woman. Although her words didn't sound good, her thoughts were good.

Mrs. Zhou sneered: "What do you make money from? Are you selling the pens, inks, papers and inkstones left by Lin Xiucai?"

As he said this, he suddenly burst into laughter.

The woman on the side felt a little contempt for Mr. Zhou when she heard this. She just ignored her, but it was a bit immoral to expose other people's scars over and over again.

Several women sitting next to her silently took their needles and threads and sat farther away from her.

Zhong Chuchu knew what they were thinking, and she was actually very concerned about where she got such good fruit. In this era, who wouldn't be interested in a way to make money.

She pretended: "The way I make money is actually very simple. I just get some fresh fruits from the mountains and exchange them for some money. I have no other skills and can't make money. I just have better luck." , I found some good fruits in the mountains, and I didn’t expect these fruits to be quite popular.”

The woman under the willow tree couldn't help but feel moved after hearing this. She didn't expect that Zhong Chuchu found fruit in the mountains. Judging from the large number of chickens in her hand, she must have made a lot of money. Some people were a little excited.

But after thinking about it, it would be very unsafe to go into the mountains. There are wild animals in the mountains. If you are unlucky and encounter a blind bear or something, your life will be lost.Some people shook their heads and said, forget it, they don’t have that fate.

"Sisters-in-law, I have some trees and vegetables to plant over there. It must be a bit difficult for me to do it alone." She pretended to think for a moment and then continued: "I see that all the sisters-in-law have tidied up the house so neatly, they must be all Lisuo people, I just don’t know if you are willing to do it. If you do it, I will give you twenty yuan each, how about it?”

The woman who just reminded her to make a nest for the chickens slapped her thigh: "Are you serious?"

Another woman said: "Just growing vegetables or something?"

Zhong Chuchu said with a smile: "These are the seedlings I found in the mountains, and some vegetables. Why don't you guys go to my house and have a look later?"

The women who were still chatting away instantly dispersed, and a few stood up and called to Zhong Chuchu: "Let's go, let me go and have a look with you."

"Let's go, let me go and have a look with you."

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhou also wanted to go, but was stopped by Zhong Chuchu: "Don't go, don't you know what you are?"

After saying that, he rolled his eyes at her and turned away.

All the women together laughed softly.

Zhou fell down in anger, scolding Zhong Chuchu's eighteenth generation of ancestors in her heart, but she didn't dare to say more, didn't you see how many people were staring at her now!

Now that everyone is under the control of this little lady Zhong Chuchu, who doesn't want to make a little more money, not to mention no capital and no risks, just a little effort.

There is not much work in the fields now. What they lack most is time and strength.

Zhong Chuchu was walking in front. She still understood this bit of human sophistication. While making money for herself, she also let others drink some soup.

If these gossiping women have something to do, they won't be jealous of her family and avoid a lot of trouble.

A group of people followed Zhong Chuchu's house and saw Dabao squatting on the ground practicing calligraphy. The little man was very serious and practiced well.

Although everyone is illiterate, it does not hinder their curiosity.

"Dabao, what words are you writing here?"

Dabao finished writing the last stroke of Jin, then ran over and hugged Zhong Chuchu's leg.

"What I wrote is my name - Lin Jin."

The woman clapped her hands and praised: "As expected of Lin Xiucai's son, he can also write his own name!"

Zhong Chuchu touched the little guy's head and said with a doting look on his face: "Stop praising him, lest this kid be proud."

"Sisters-in-law, follow me." After saying that, she led them to the backyard of her home, where there were fruit seedlings she found from Blue Star.

There are apple trees, pear trees, peach trees, and blueberry trees.

Several women looked around and saw that although the yard was simple, it was very clean.

The two children were dressed much cleaner than usual.

It can be seen that Zhong Chuchu treats the two children well.

Several people looked at each other, nodded to each other, and then followed to the backyard.
