Traveling through the ages with the hotel, being doted on by four brothers

Chapter 224 Rare things are more valuable
After that, the three of them ate and chatted. Xiao Tiantian and Yuan Bingbing were responsible for eating, while Xia Chan was responsible for chatting with them. When the time was almost right, Xia Chan made an appointment with them to go to the market the next day, then said goodbye to them and went home.

After returning home, Xia Chan gave Jin Pengfei the letter from Su Yu that she had waited so long for, "Brother Pengfei, there is a letter for you."

Jin Pengfei raised his eyebrows in confusion, "I don't know anyone, who would write to me?"

"If you want to know who wrote the letter, you can find out by reading the content, right?" Xia Chan smiled mysteriously, "Brother Pengfei, no matter who wrote the letter, you must reply after reading it. You must not keep them waiting for you. This is very impolite, understand?"

After saying that, Xia Chan turned around and went back to the house.

Su Yu has been back for such a long time, but there has been no letter. Xia Chan thought that Su Yu had been so dazzled by the flowers that she forgot about her elder brother Jin Pengfei. But she didn't expect that it took her so long to write to her. It seems that Su Yu does not intend to give up Jin Pengfei.

In fact, the two of them are only a few hours apart, which is not far, and Jin Pengfei can do all the housework. If they really get married, Su Yu will be busy with work, and Jin Pengfei can take care of the house.

Even if the woman is the breadwinner and the man is the homemaker, they can still live a prosperous life.

Xia Chan didn't care how Jin Pengfei felt after reading the letter, and she wouldn't force Jin Pengfei to accept Su Yu. Everything would develop on their own. Xia Chan only needed to prepare the betrothal gifts.

The next day, it was the day to go to the big market. Xia Chan and his brothers set out with their backpacks. Xiao Yunfan also went with them, but he covered himself tightly, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed. He was still wearing Xia Qi's clothes, so even Xiao Tiantian couldn't recognize him when she saw him, let alone Yuan Bingbing.

For fear of being targeted when buying things this time, Xia Chan specially assigned tasks to everyone. Jin Pengfei was responsible for buying mutton and mutton bones, Xia Bin was responsible for buying tofu, and Jin Pengyuan was responsible for buying chickens, including old hens, roosters, and pheasants.

Xiao Yunfan was responsible for buying rabbits.

Because she wanted to smoke cured meat. After all, Su Yu and the aunt at the post office asked her for cured meat. And she also had to send cured meat to Xiao Tiantian's house. Even if it was fresh, she could sell it again, so there was no need to worry.

As for herself, no task has been assigned yet, because she doesn't know what to expect at the bazaar and will make a decision after shopping around.

Several people came to the foot of the mountain and met up with Xiao Tiantian and Yuan Bingbing. Xia Chan's family lived halfway up the mountain. Xiao Tiantian naturally knew that the person behind who couldn't be identified was Xiao Yunfan, but Yuan Bingbing didn't know. She couldn't help but look at him a few more times in confusion. She didn't expect that Xia Chan's family had a guest, and he looked quite tall.

Yuan Bingbing just took a look and didn't think too much about it. Instead, she took Xia Chan and Xiao Tiantian's arms and followed everyone to walk forward. Everyone either carried a backpack or a basket on their arm, and walked forward hurriedly, fearing that if they were late, the good things would be snatched away.

Everyone soon arrived at the big market outside the town. It was really crowded with people. Everyone was wrapped up so tightly that you couldn't tell who they were. Since Xia Chan assigned tasks to everyone, everyone didn't waste time when they arrived at the market and started shopping directly.

Xia Chan also started to browse the stalls on the right one by one. Her family had everything they needed now, so it didn't matter whether she bought anything or not. She would just browse slowly, and it would not be too late to buy anything if she saw something rare.

There were too many people at the market, so it was difficult to go shopping together, so Xia Chan and Xiao Tiantian also parted ways. Everyone went shopping on their own and agreed to meet at the entrance of the market later. However, Xia Chan also reminded them that no matter whether they were men or women, as long as someone wanted to pull them, they should just shout "Catch the human traffickers". Because only if they said something serious would it attract everyone's attention. As long as there were people watching, they would not be taken away in the first place, and they would have a chance to escape. Once they were taken away from the crowd, they might really be helpless.

"Isn't there anything you want to buy?" Xiao Yunfan's voice suddenly came to my ears.

Xia Chan glanced at Xiao Yunfan's backpack and saw that it was covered with old cloth. It seemed that Xiao Yunfan had already bought the rabbit. Xia Chan nodded and said, "We have prepared a lot of mountain products at home. There is no need to buy more. We also have clothes and shoes. There is no need to buy them. We don't lack anything at home now."

What's more, the main products sold in this market are agricultural and sideline products, which are nothing special. There is no need to spend money to buy any of the agricultural and sideline products such as summer cicadas.

Xia Chan walked along and stopped in front of a stall. He asked curiously, "Comrade, what's in your basket? Can I take a look?"

The stall owner lifted a corner of the old quilt, revealing a bright red apple inside. Xia Chan remembered that there was indeed a kind of apple that ripened in winter, but only in early winter, because by late winter, all the fruits on the trees would be frozen, right?
"Comrade, how much is one pound of these apples?" Xia Chan asked.

"Sixty cents." The stall owner gestured with his fingers.

Xia Chan had never expected that these tiny apples would cost 60 cents per pound. You have to know that in later generations, when there were so many apples in the orchard, the wholesale price was only a few cents per pound.

Of course, she also understood that scarcity makes things valuable. At this time, no one would specifically grow fruits. Most of them were found in the mountains or in the wild. Only a few people would plant one or two trees at home to satisfy their children's cravings.

"Please weigh them for me, stall owner. I want them all." There were no apples on the mountain of their Yong'an Production Team. She would take some seeds and see if she could cultivate an apple tree. She could then just pick some wild apples to eat.

The stall owner weighed the apples for Xia Chan and found that there were 15 pounds of apples for 9 yuan. Xia Chan paid the money and reached out to take the apples. Unexpectedly, it was Xiao Yunfan who took them. Xia Chan said thank you and continued walking forward.

When Xia Chan met the stall owner who sold wild honey last year, he bought all the honey from him, then bought some frozen pears, and then bought nothing else.

"Xiao Yunfan, don't you have anything to buy?" Xia Chan walked towards the agreed place and asked curiously when she saw Xiao Yunfan following her.

"How can the things sold here be as good as exchanging them from you?" It was because he was short of things that he had the opportunity to come into contact with Xia Chan, wasn't it?

After waiting for a while at the agreed place, the brothers came back. Seeing them nod at her, Xia Chan knew that they had bought what she needed. Although she smiled and nodded, she waited for Xiao Tiantian and Yuan Bingbing to come back. Xia Chan said, "Tiantian, Sister Bingbing, you two come over for dinner tonight. I'll make you something delicious."

"Okay, okay!" Xiao Tiantian was so excited that she almost jumped up, but the backpack on her back trapped her and made it impossible for her to jump up.
