suspected wife

At the beginning of Yinshi the next day, Qiao Mingjin and Mingheng set off from home.

The siblings were still sitting on the back of the ox. Qiao Mingjin was carrying a load of dry food and water on his back. Two poles were still placed on both sides of the ox's back. On one end hung a basket containing three large bundles of cattail vegetables, and on the other hung two baskets containing Those four hares and seven pheasants.

Qiao Mingjin was not worried at all that Pucai would not be sold.Last night, a family of four ate cattail vegetables. The family was short of oil and ingredients, and the three children almost licked the dishes clean of the cattail vegetables.He even yelled that he didn't need to spend money to buy vegetables in the future, so he went to pick cattail vegetables and eat them.

There is a long river in Xiahe Village, and these cattails grow along the river.

People in this era don't understand that cattail grass is edible, and it's easy to cover up. If someone asks, they will say that they took cattail grass and made mats and ropes at home, and no one will compete with such a poor family as them.

It doesn't matter if there are fewer people buying from the unfamiliar food collection, the restaurant is full of fresh goods.The more others don't have it, the more they rush to buy it back.

There are also those wild animals. Originally, she wanted to keep the two wild hens for laying eggs, but now that the family has no savings, she brought them all out, and exchanged money first.

This time, no one in the village consigned eggs, which is good, otherwise the cow would be hard to put on its back.

The siblings wandered all the way, and Chenzheng arrived at the gate of Qingchuan County.

When Qiao Mingjin handed over the two pennies, the two yamen servants took a look at the two sisters and pushed back her two pennies.Didn't say much.

Qiao Mingjin was stunned.

Is there a new regulation?No more city fees for those who go to the city to do business?

But others still accept it.Qiao Mingjin looked around, feeling a little puzzled.

Seeing her appearance, a small yamen servant leaned over and whispered to her: "You are someone Yue Chu knows, and we dare not take your money. You can speak nice words for us in front of Yue Chu, so that Yue Chu Just remember us. If you can follow Yue Chuan to patrol the streets..."

Before he finished speaking, he was tugged by the person next to him, and said: "I think the young lady is going to catch the early market, so go in quickly, I'm afraid it won't be easy to sell if it's late."

Qiao Mingjin thanked the two of them and walked in leading Niu and Mingheng.Looking back, I saw two yamen servants talking with their heads together, but they couldn't hear what they said.

Can save a little bit.Five Wen can buy half a catty of candy, and two Wen can buy a large piece.It's good to save Wan'er a piece of sugar every time.

Just like he did for his daughter.

The firewood delivered this time was much thicker than the previous cart, so Shopkeeper Yu gave them [-] Wen, and together with two bags of pine hair, he gave them a total of [-] Wen.

I was also very interested to see the pheasants and hares in Qiao Mingjin's basket.It is said that they have to buy some meat in the blacksmith shop every day, otherwise the few guys and apprentices will not have the strength.So he bought two pheasants and a hare from her.

The pheasants and hares that Qiao Mingjin brought were all alive, even if they didn't eat them today, they would kill them tomorrow.Besides, she doesn't know if there will be any goods tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

It's just that she can't set the price, because it's the first time to sell this wild thing.

On the other hand, shopkeeper Yu seemed to be very familiar with it, weighed it casually, and said, "One of your pheasants is less than three catties or four catties. The hare is about eight catties fat. The pheasant sold outside is one catty and fifteen catties." Wen, it’s three coins more expensive than domestic chickens. Wild rabbits can be sold for twenty coins a catty, I think it’s your first time doing this business, and you won’t lose much at this price.”

Qiao Mingjin nodded gratefully at him.

The man asked her to count a total of 350 copper coins for her, together with seventy Wen of firewood money.

Qiao Mingjin knew that there might be too many of these three wild animals.Then he untied a large handful of cattail vegetables from another basket and gave it to him.

Just now, he also opened the basket of cattail vegetables to look at them, but seeing that they were unfamiliar vegetables, he didn't open his mouth.

Seeing that the price he gave was fair, Qiao Mingjin came out with a large handful of cattail vegetables, and said, "This is a kind of wild vegetable. The outer skin is peeled off, chopped and stir-fried. It is excellent for making soup and stewed meat. It's very refreshing to eat. Shopkeeper Yu, let's eat it. The money you gave just now is a lot of money. It was given to the shopkeeper by my sister and brother to try something new."

The shopkeeper Yu glanced at her, nodded, and asked someone to pick her up without being polite.Then he said: "Then thank you little lady. Eat well, and I will buy from little lady."

Qiao Mingjin thanked him, and the siblings led the ox cart and walked out.

After sending the ox cart, he picked up the load and drove to the market.

In order not to waste time, when passing by a restaurant, Qiao Mingjin untied the basket of cattail vegetables and walked in.Ask Ming Heng to carry the few hares and pheasants to sell in the market.

Ming Heng was smart and active, and she was able to stand alone, so she wasn't worried at all.

Of course, the restaurant may also buy pheasants and hares, but the price will not be too high.It's better to send it to Jishang for retail.This Qingchuan County is very big, and it is not afraid that it will not be sold.

Qiao Mingjin didn't enter the gate of the restaurant either. After asking where the back door was, she picked out dishes and went to the back door.

The back door of the restaurant is now wide open, people come in and out from time to time, deliver various things, and collect swill, people come and go.

Qiao Mingjin was not in a hurry, and waited silently for a while, until there was no one else, then walked in with a basket.

A chubby middle-aged man in charge saw her and asked, "Which family are you from? What did you send?"

Qiao Mingjin smiled and said to him: "I am in charge, I don't belong to any company. I just got some fresh vegetables at home, and I want to bring them over and ask if you want them here."

The steward was not impatient, but came over: "Oh? What kind of fresh dish?"

Qiao Mingjin removed the covering straw. She and Mingheng had already sprinkled water on the place where the ox cart was delivered before. It is gratifying.

The person in charge had just counted the various items delivered in the yard, and Qiao Mingjin could already tell that this person must be a purchaser of the restaurant.This kind of person is well-informed, and Qiao Mingjin doesn't want to say too much.

It’s just that Pu Cai, people in this era only regard it as a water plant, and it grows emerald green on the water surface. Who would have thought that the bottom or even the mud would look different?And how can I still eat it?

The steward approached, bent slightly to look, and sniffed a piece of tender white rhizome that Qiao Mingjin handed him.

Qiao Mingjin said: "This is a vegetable. Does it smell a faint fragrance? This is also called cattail. My family brought it back from other places and planted it. I guarantee that only my family has it in Qingchuan County. Your fragrance The restaurant is also ranked first in Qingchuan County. If there is only one vegetable in my family, the guests are willing to try it out. Those noble people also like to eat some vegetables that others have never eaten. Maybe your restaurant can borrow this vegetable for a long time. You might even be famous for a long time.”

The person in charge looked at Qiao Mingjin for a while, then looked at her in surprise, and then said, "This is really only your family's plant?"

ps: Today is the first day of work.Come back late.In order to avoid such a situation, the update time will be changed to morning from tomorrow.Thank you all.
