Xianggong came from the mountains

Chapter 21 Arriving at the Vegetable Market

Er Gouzi was also angry, he pushed Yuan Shi angrily and roared: "You make troubles all day long, so you don't know how to stop."

The more the two mothers and sons quarreled, the more they couldn't communicate with each other, and the rest of the village was happy to watch the joke.

Xia Qinghe squatted next to the basket and held his face to see when Xiao Chu would come back. Zhu Xiaochang was also quiet and squatted next to Xia Qinghe.

Xiao Chu's speed was so fast that it was dawn when the few people in front were ferried across the river.

As soon as Xia Qinghe and Zhu Xiaochang boarded the boat, Xiao Chu frowned and said, "Didn't you say to get up early last night?"

He woke up early in the morning and wanted to be the first to send Xia Qinghe across the river, but he didn't want Xia Qinghe to be the last to arrive.

Zhu Xiaochang lowered his head guiltily, and said in a low voice, "It's because I can't get up...."

Xia Qinghe didn't mean to complain about Zhu Xiaochang. In the past, Zhu Xiaochang was taken good care of by Mrs. Han. She held it in her mouth for fear of melting, and held it in her hands for fear of falling. Zhu Xiaochang was never allowed to do family affairs, and she slept until she woke up naturally every day.

She couldn't spoil Zhu Xiaochang like Mrs. Han, she had to teach Zhu Xiaochang to take care of herself.

"Don't blame yourself, it's also my first time going to the market, this time it's all about exploring the way." She looked at Zhu Xiaochang with a smile and comforted her.

Xiao Chu looked at the sky and frowned: "It's getting late, I'll take you to the market, the boat guessed quickly that you would arrive before the villagers."

Xia Qinghe was overjoyed, but immediately shook her head and refused: "I don't have that much money for you, I only have a dozen or so copper coins left. I don't know if I can sell these things." She glanced at the things in the basket sadly. , although these are all treasures in her eyes, but others can get them with a little effort, she really has no idea.

Xiao Chu glanced at Xia Qinghe indifferently, and propped up his boat.

Although it is going against the current, the boat is indeed much faster than walking, and there are not many people along the way when we arrive at the town.

The town is not big, there are only two streets, and the vegetable market for selling things is at the end of the street. Most of the people walking on the street are people with backpacks like her. Xia Qinghe didn't even bother to look at the shops on both sides of the street. The only thing I want is to go to the vegetable market.

Fortunately, Zhu Xiaochang had been to the vegetable market with Mrs. Han before, so finding the way was not troublesome.

There were not many people in the vegetable market, and most of them were laying out their belongings. Xia Qinghe chose a better location and quickly took out the things in the basket.

She found a small mat made of reeds in the woodshed of Zhu's house, which was just right for setting up a stall at the moment. Zhu Xiaochang was at a loss and didn't know what to do, so he could only watch Xia Qinghe put things in order.

The orchids were placed on the ground at the far end, followed by the yams placed neatly next to each other. The cloth bag was opened to reveal the fungus inside. She didn’t plan to take out the herbs. They were all for sale in pharmacies, especially the Dendrobium candidum. , She thought that there were many Dendrobium officinale before, but after searching for two days, she couldn't find another one. She felt more and more that it was her luck.

After she arranged the market, the number of people gradually increased, and she also had time to look around. The vegetable market really has everything, selling vegetables, selling chickens and ducks, and selling some strange things that she doesn't know. Those who sell sweet potatoes.

But I looked around and didn't see anyone selling jelly!She felt that the jelly business could definitely be done.

Beside her was an old woman who sold sweet potatoes. The woman had a kind face and was very talkative. No, she pulled Xia Qinghe to start chatting about homework.

Xia Qinghe wanted to know more, and was eager to tell the old woman more useful things. The old woman's face was full of vicissitudes.

"It's getting harder and harder. I heard that there were bandits in Kaoshan Village before, and the villagers are all in panic." The old woman sighed for a long time, and finally asked Xia Qinghe: "Where is the girl from? "

Xia Qinghe didn't know how to answer. Thinking about how bad she was, she encountered all kinds of bad things in time travel, and her luck was really not ordinary.

She said helplessly, "I'm from the mountain village."

The old woman looked at Xia Qinghe with distress, she didn't say what she wanted to say in the end, and said regretfully: "I heard that many people died in the village, and many girls were snatched away, which is also a crime. Those girls were snatched away There's only one way out."

Xia Qinghe heard the Chu family say that most of the girls in the village were robbed and would be sold to the Goulan Courtyard. What kind of place is that!Is it still a human life to go in?

In the past, she always yearned for the life in ancient times. She felt that everything was original. If it was a peaceful time, the people would live and work in peace and harmony everywhere. It's all possible, especially for a woman, the only thing she can do is learn to protect herself.

Although Zhu Dongmei and Zhu Chunhua were a bit annoying, they were the first people she met when she came here. Thinking of their fate made her feel uncomfortable.

The old lady was also sensible. Seeing that Xia Qinghe's eyes were blurred, she patted the back of Xia Qinghe's hand and said, "Young lady, if you need any help, you can come to Shuiguan Village to find me. Everyone knows me, Mrs. Deng."

Xia Qinghe said Xie Anxin and guarded his stall, and there were more people in the market. Before, all he saw were folks in cloth or patched clothes, but as the number of people increased, anyone could really see up.

Both Chu and Yang carried the baskets on their backs. They searched around but couldn't find a suitable place, but seeing that Xia Qinghe had chosen the best place, Chu felt overjoyed and hurried forward with the baskets on their backs.

Xia Qinghe only sold a catty of yam for five Wen, and when she looked up, she looked at Chu with a smile on her face.

"Qinghe, can you move a little space for me?" Chu asked flatteringly, they came here a little late, if they can't find a place to sell their things, I'm afraid they won't be able to sell them.

Xia Qinghe of the Chu family didn't have much dislike. She happened to buy yams and she tidied up the side to make room for a small space, and the Chu family put down her basket.

Seeing that Xia Qinghe actually made room for Chu, Yang felt a little jealous.

But she was not familiar with Xia Qinghe, so she sighed and found a place to put it down in a remote corner, but her eyes were always on Xia Qinghe's side.

In modern times, Xia Qinghe is just a member of the general public, not outstanding but not mediocre, but few people can compare to her for her hard work, because her family is poor but not very rich, so she tries to make money by setting up street stalls, Working in restaurants, distributing leaflets, as long as she can do it, she has done it.

The orchid on the side didn't ask, but there were many people asking about yam, but she directly refused because the price offered was low. It is not easy to dig up yam, especially wild yam, which is more delicious than sweet potatoes, and has higher nutritional value. Gao, she is really reluctant to sell it cheaply.
