Chapter 134 Buying eggs Buying eggs
While Shiliu was drinking tea in Xinglongzhai, in Tianbao Village, Mrs. Huang Yuan happened to enter the Lin family with Chuida, smiling like a flower.

Li Jihe was invited to play the gongs by Li Jiren's senior brothers. As they were acquaintances, they naturally had to take care of their acquaintances' business. When Li Jiren was away, Li Rongbai took over the gongs. It was normal for a son to take over his father's business.

In the past, there were times when Li Jihe was not empty, and Li Rongsong and Li Rongbai had also stepped in. The work of making gongs was not difficult.

When the people in Tianbao Village heard the chatter coming into the village, they knew it was the Li family from Xiahe Village who had come to let Xiao Ding come, and they all gathered around to watch the fun.

The Lin family is also busy today. When the man comes to settle down, the Lin family also invites relatives and neighbors to witness and have a lively meal together. This is to tell relatives and friends that the girl in our family has made a marriage decision. !
Mrs. Huang Yuan smiled like a flower, and when she walked in, she burst out with a bunch of good words, which made Lin Pingshan and Mr. Hong both smile.

Then cut to the chase and present the small wedding gift prepared by the Li family.

All the relatives looked at the silver hairpins, silver bracelets, silver earrings and fabrics and nodded repeatedly. This girl, Erfeng, has found a good match!

-

After leaving Xinglongzhai, Shiliu and Li Jizhong went straight to the market to collect the eggs quickly before the lunch market ended!

After leaving Xinglongzhai, Li Jizhong breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously. He was sitting in the fragrant and beautiful elegant room, drinking tea and eating snacks. He felt uncomfortable all over and didn't know where to place his hands and feet. He was really not used to it.

I don’t know how this girl Shiliu can sit still like that, it’s really rare.

We rushed all the way to the market in the south of the city. Looking at the people coming and going, Shiliu realized that she had underestimated this city. It was the new year again, and the lunch market was still very lively.

The mule cart couldn't get in, so they had to find a place to tie it up and give two cents to help watch. The two of them walked into the market.

After a while, I saw rows of egg sellers standing next to each other. There were quite a few egg sellers at this point, and there were a lot of eggs. I guess it was people from nearby villages who came here specially for the lunch market. After all, the city Well, there are also many people buying groceries at the lunch market.

Pomegranate looked around and walked towards one of the women first, "Auntie, how do you sell these eggs?"

She saw that this woman was selling a lot of eggs, including a basket.

When the woman heard that someone was interested, she hurriedly greeted her, "They are all the market price, one penny each!"

Pomegranate nodded, "Auntie, how many eggs do you have here? I bought them all for you, can you give me the basket together?"

The woman heard that she wanted to buy them all. There were fifty or sixty eggs in this basket. It would be great if she could sell them all and go home empty-handed just a short while after she arrived!

And this girl was very polite, so she immediately said: "Okay! You bought everything, I will give the basket to you!"

As she said this, she told Pomegranate that there were fifty-seven eggs in the basket. She counted the eggs at home, and there was no mistake. She asked Pomegranate if she wanted to count them again.

It was troublesome to take the eggs in and out, as I was afraid of touching them, so Pomegranate said no, and my aunt said fifty-seven, so fifty-seven, she couldn’t be wrong!
As he said that, he took the money bag and counted fifty-seven copper coins and gave it to the woman.

Seeing this, the woman took the coin and couldn't help but laugh: "I didn't realize it, but you, the little girl, are still in charge of the money in your family!"

She thought Li Jizhong who was following Shiliu was her father.

Pomegranate smiled and didn't explain much.

Li Jizhong, who was behind, bent down and lifted the basket of eggs.

Pomegranate turned around and moved to the next stall. This was an uncle selling duck eggs in dustpans. There should be more than a hundred of them, and there were also a few ducks for sale. "Uncle, where are the duck eggs you're selling? With so many duck eggs, we feed a lot of ducks at home, right?"

The uncle watched her buy a basket of eggs from the woman next door in one go. When he saw her coming to his stall to ask questions, he burst out with a smile on his face and said, "Yes! I fed twenty or thirty ducks!" There are about ten ducks that lay eggs! I often go to the city to sell duck eggs. Can you buy some of my duck eggs?"

Pomegranate listened and said directly: "Then I'll buy them all for you. You can give me the dustpan, otherwise I won't have anything to hold so many duck eggs!"

The uncle agreed without saying a word. Duck eggs are not easy to sell, so let alone one dustpan, two dustpans will do!
Pomegranate asked him to wait, then turned around and bought all the eggs from the egg sellers next to him, which totaled four to five hundred, as well as a basket of duck eggs sold by another uncle selling duck eggs. Bought.

Then she carried the few eggs herself, and asked them to help carry the rest to the mule cart.

The egg seller helped move it over without saying a word.

The uncle selling ducks directly asked the villagers next door to help look after the ducks, and he also moved the dustpan and followed him.

When the mule cart put down the eggs and everyone else left, Shiliu first stopped the two duck egg sellers and asked them which village they were from.

The one in front is from Daliang Village not far outside the city, while the one in the back is far from the city, but close to Dafengji.

Pomegranate immediately made an agreement with them. In the future, if there are more duck eggs, there will be dozens of them. As long as they are not afraid of trouble, they can deliver them to her. The ones closest to the city will be sent directly to Xinglongzhai and away from Dafeng. The one closest to the collection is sent to Datong Warehouse.

When the time comes, she will tell Wang Mian and ask him to help, and ask shopkeeper Feng to help collect it. It will be cheaper if the adoptive father is there at Datong Warehouse.

When the two of them heard that there were still many people who wanted to collect these duck eggs, which had never been easy to sell, they were also very happy. They hurriedly agreed, saying that they were not afraid of the trouble and would send them as soon as they had eggs!

Why are you afraid of trouble? Not many people like to eat duck eggs. It’s rare to meet such a big family. It would be great to make their duck eggs round in the future!
There were nearly a thousand eggs in one cart, in large and small baskets, and the pomegranates had to sit on the car seat.

I originally wanted to buy some meat, but there was no room for it, so I just bought salt and white flour and squeezed them into the gaps in the baskets to prevent the baskets from shaking when the mule cart jolted.

Not caring about finding a place to eat, Shiliu bought ten big meat buns and saw two bowls of mutton soup in bamboo tubes. After leaving the city, she ate and left.

Li Jizhong had to drive the car with one hand, and it was inconvenient to hold both the bamboo tube and the meat buns with one hand, so Shiliu held the bamboo tube for him. When he had eaten a meat bun, he gave it to him to take a sip, and then continued to eat the meat buns.

Li Jizhong couldn't help but laugh, "Why don't you be considerate of your daughter?"

Li Jizhong has two sons and one daughter, all of whom are married.

After hearing this, Shiliu told him about his daughter Li Paoquan, "Is Sister Loquat going to give birth soon?"

Li Jizhong also smiled lovingly when he talked about his daughter, "She should be born in March next year!"

While chatting about home cooking, Pomegranate thought that she had not bought any pork today, so she couldn't help but ask Li Jihe if he knew which house had New Year pigs for sale and the ones that had not yet been sold.

Pork was much more expensive, so she thought she might as well buy a pig to kill. A pig costs about two slings, and the fat meat, pork ribs, and the like can be eaten at home. Meat is indispensable for so many helpers' meals every day. , it just so happens that they like to eat fat meat.

Li Jizhong heard her talking about buying a pig as soon as she started talking, and he also sighed that her mind was spinning so fast, so she came up with it.

"Yes! My father-in-law has two New Year pigs that he is about to sell."
