Chapter 57 Buying Chicken
Walking in the market, Gu Jiujiu thought about Yan Shi asking her to buy a chicken.So, she decided to go to the chicken place to buy one now.

Searching the memories in her head, Gu Jiujiu didn't know where chickens were sold, so she subconsciously turned to look at Shen Kuo and said, "Do you know where chickens are sold?"

"I don't know!" Shen Kuo had never bought chickens before, so naturally he didn't know where the chickens were sold.

They didn't know, so Gu Jiujiu had no choice but to ask a woman in a coarse cloth dress.

That woman would often buy chickens at the market and go home to stew them for her children and men. Seeing Gu Jiujiu asking, she looked at her and pointed in front of her, "Little lady, you just need to point your finger at me." Go straight in the direction, turn a corner, and you will find a place that sells chickens!"

Gu Jiujiu thanked the woman, and then walked towards the direction of the woman's finger with Shen Kuo.

Sure enough, after walking for a while, Gu Jiujiu saw a place selling chickens.Taking a quick look, Gu Jiujiu found that there are quite a few hawkers selling chicken in this place.

Randomly chose a place where chickens were sold and stopped, Gu Jiujiu looked at the middle-aged uncle who sold chickens and said, "Uncle, I don't know how your chickens are sold here?"

The chicken seller glanced at Gu Jiujiu and smiled, "Little lady, the chickens here are sold by weighing. Ten copper coins a catty, the chicken with more meat is more expensive, and the chicken with less meat is more expensive." cheaper!"

"Oh!" Knowing how the chicken was sold, Gu Jiujiu chose a fat and big chicken among dozens of chickens and pointed it to the uncle who sold the chicken, "Uncle, I want that one!"

"Okay, little lady, wait a moment!" The chicken seller glanced at the chicken that Gu Jiujiu was pointing at, then opened the fence around the chickens and walked in.He stretched out his hand to grab the chicken very skillfully, and he just walked out of the fence with the chicken.

Close the fence again, take the scale that was put aside casually, weigh the chicken, and glance at the number on the scale, the uncle who sold the chicken looked at Gu Jiujiu and smiled, "Little lady, This chicken weighs a little more than four and a half catties, I'll give you a fraction, and you can give me a whole number of 45 copper coins!"

"Okay!" Gu Jiujiu nodded, then touched 45 copper coins from his bosom and paid them to the chicken seller uncle.

The uncle who sold the chicken smiled and took the money from Gu Jiujiu's hand, and then simply disposed of the chicken in his hand and gave it to her.

Gu Jiujiu took the chicken and gave it to Shen Kuo, and they left the chicken place together.

In the morning, Gu Jiujiu only drank half a bowl of sweet potato porridge. When passing by an old woman's wonton stand, Gu Jiujiu suddenly felt a little hungry.

Looking at the hot wontons in the pot, Gu Jiujiu hesitated whether to eat a bowl or not.

"Grandma, bring us two bowls of wontons!" Gu Jiujiu's actions caught Shen Kuo's eyes, and he could see that she wanted to eat wontons, so he watched the old woman order two bowls of wontons.

Gu Jiujiu glanced at Shen Kuo without saying anything, then she chose a seat with him and sat down.

There were not many people eating wontons, and the old lady was not busy, so she quickly brought them the wontons they asked for. While putting the wontons on the table, the old woman looked at Gu Jiujiu with a smile and said, "Little lady, Your husband-in-law is so handsome!"

Unexpectedly, the old woman would say this, Gu Jiujiu raised her head and met Shen Kuo's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
