I, the one in the heavens, am here to protect my bottom line in all realms.

Chapter 10 Understanding Prices
  Just like when she gives her cakes to eat, people know how to reciprocate the gift, and they don't know how to talk too much. They use their seniority to show off their elders.

This made her get along very happily, and she was naturally willing to interact with her, and she didn't mind being taken advantage of by her. After all, on the other hand, this was a disguised form of getting some information from her. remuneration.

Finally full, Zhang Chengyuan burped and felt a little thirsty. He took out the gourd filled with water, pulled out the stopper and took a sip, then didn't dare to drink more.

She was afraid of having to go to the toilet suddenly and couldn't hold it in.

After stuffing the stopper and putting it back into the basket, Zhang Chengyuan stared at the mushrooms in trance.

Seeing that the market was approaching, Zhao Lihua immediately patted Zhang Chengyuan and reminded her, "Daughter, look, that's the market in front of you. Please grab your things. We'll be there in a moment."

Zhang Chengyuan immediately came to his senses and responded: "Okay."

It was also at this time that she noticed the pain in her leg, which was where the bamboo pole was pressing. She moved it slightly and pressed it with her hand. The pain made her gasp.

I won’t be green anymore, it hurts so much.

As the bullock cart stopped, everyone hurriedly got off the cart, feeling uncomfortable all over.

Zhao Lihua got off the car first, and she had to help Zhang Chengyuan.

Zhang Chengyuan quickly waved his hand, indicating that he could do it, and came down with four baskets.

She put the basket down, paid the fare for Old Li Tou, then picked up the basket again and asked, "Auntie, should we rest for a while or should we go?"

Zhao Lihua had just finished paying for the bus. She picked up her backpack and stepped forward without any hesitation: "Hurry up, it's already late."

Zhang Chengyuan looked at the sky and saw that it was indeed getting late. The sun had been out for a while. She hurriedly followed Zhao Lihua.

Lao Li Tou looked at the hurried Zhao Lihua and shouted with a smile: "Zhao Yaomei, when are you going to come back? Do you want to take a bullock cart? If you don't, I won't wait for you."

Zhao Lihua turned back and glared at him, a little annoyed: "Sit down! Leave two seats for me."

Lao Litou didn't care about her attitude at all and joked: "I'll have to charge more for being late~"

"I'll give you the chance. I'm in a hurry and have no time to talk to you."

Zhang Chengyuan listened to the conversation between the two, and it was not difficult to see the familiarity between the two. It seemed that the two had known each other for many years, and maybe they were childhood friends.

After that, Zhao Lihua stopped talking to him and took Zhang Chengyuan to the market.

At this time, the noise can already be heard. If you listen carefully, you can also distinguish various hawking sounds. It is very lively.

The two of them soon arrived at the market, where there was a bustling crowd of people buying and selling things.

Zhao Lihua pulled Zhang Chengyuan into the crowd and shouted to her: "Keep your things safe, let's go forward."

Zhang Chengyuan obeyed her instructions and followed her into the crowd.

After passing through the crowded crowd, they arrived at the end of the street, where there were fewer people. Zhao Lihua asked Zhang Chengyuan to find a place to squat down together, put out the things for sale, opened their mouths and started shouting.

Zhang Chengyuan hesitated but did not speak. Zhao Lihua thought the little girl was shy and was about to help her out.

But she was stopped by Zhang Chengyuan with quick eyesight and quick hands. She knew that Zhao Lihua had good intentions, so she patiently explained to her: "Auntie, it's not appropriate for me to yell. People who don't know the mushrooms won't buy them after seeing them. None of them know anyone." If you dare to eat them randomly, everyone knows that mushrooms can kill people if they are not good enough."

Zhao Lihua nodded, this was the reason, so she stopped helping blindly: "Okay, as long as you feel confident about it."

Then she yelled for her to go. Zhang Chengyuan stayed quietly, and soon she couldn't stay any longer. She saw that her aunt hadn't sold anything despite yelling for so long, so she tugged on her clothes. “Auntie, how long have you been saving these eggs?”

Zhao Lihua rested her voice when she heard this: "It won't take long, just a month. My aunt's family raises several chickens, and she can pick up three or four every day."

Zhang Chengyuan calculated in his head that it was about 100 eggs a month, so he asked again: "Auntie, how did you buy all these eggs?"

"I buy them by the piece, a penny each."

Zhang Chengyuan asked the question again: "Why don't you buy by the pound?"

It’s not surprising that Zhang Chengyuan is unclear. After all, modern people either sell eggs by the plate or by the pound.

Zhao Lihua explained with a smile: "We don't have the scale, so we can only sell them by the piece."

Zhang Chengyuan nodded to show that she understood. After thinking about it, she asked again: "Auntie, can you sell out all the sales every time?"

Zhao Lihua shook her head and said: "It depends on luck. Sometimes it is sold out and sometimes it is not sold out. If it is not sold out, it is the same as taking it back to eat at home."

Only then did Zhang Chengyuan reveal his purpose: "Auntie, can I come to your house every few days and buy some eggs? Is it possible to use chickens as natural eggs?"

Zhao Lihua immediately agreed upon hearing this: "Chengchengcheng, I will definitely give it to you while it is still warm."

Zhang Chengyuan thought that he couldn't live on eating wild vegetables all day long, so he added, "Auntie, do you grow a lot of vegetables at home? I want to buy some too."

Zhao Lihua thought for a while and said: "Foods are very cheap during this season. Otherwise, you can just go to my vegetable patch every day to get whatever you want. The ones from the neighbors are not worth the money."

Zhang Chengyuan quickly refused: "That's not possible. I don't grow vegetables. I rely on wild vegetables to eat. I don't need vegetables every day or two. If you don't want money, I don't have the nerve to do it."

Do you think this will work? I will give you two cents each time and I will pick a basket of vegetables. Do you think this will work? "

Zhao Lihua smiled and said a few words about how nice it was, and then she agreed. She silently thought about how they could interact with each other more in the future.

While they were talking, someone stopped in front of Zhang Chengyuan, bent down and picked up a mushroom from Zhang Chengyuan's basket, looked at it carefully for a moment and said, "How do you sell mushrooms?"

Zhang Chengyuan turned her head when she heard the voice and noticed the person in front of her. She quickly identified the person's identity from his clothes. He was either a shopkeeper or a small boss.

As for why?
  This has to mention the clothing of everyone she saw during this period. In her impression, in ancient times, men should wear robes or cloaks, and women should wear skirts, Hanfu skirts, anyway, all kinds of long clothes, robes and skirts. .

However, the reality is that ordinary poor people wear long clothes and trousers with slanted lapels, which are so-called shorts, and this is true for both men and women.

Only scholars and wealthy people wear robes and skirts, just like the person in front of me, who is wearing a purple robe embroidered with copper money patterns, and an open long coat.

Hearing the middle-aged man's question, Zhang Chengyuan knew the price of mushrooms, but it didn't bother her. She didn't answer and asked, "How much do you want? If you want more, I'll give you a cheaper price."

The middle-aged man glanced at her and said in a calm tone: "Oh~ Quanyao, how much cheaper can you give me?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chengyuan immediately put on a smile and said, "Just tell me the number. If it suits me, I'll sell it. Do you think it's feasible?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Okay, I won't cheat you. How about two or two and five coins?"

Zhang Chengyuan secretly estimated that one basket was thirty or forty kilograms, four baskets were about one hundred and forty kilograms, or about 17 yuan per kilogram. She could accept this price, so she smiled and said: "Sure."
