Abandoned the Immortal Cultivator, returned to his hometown to farm and sing

Chapter 926 919. Visiting the Market

The ox cart entered the town.

Wow~~
The excitement increased by three points.

All the local villagers in the town, whether they were selling goods or shopping, came over to greet the old man, and "Grandpa" and "Grandpa" were heard everywhere.

The old man jumped off the ox cart and returned the gift happily.

Loving the man and loving his dog, someone waved to Luo Shaoan and shouted, "Is this kid the son of Taigong? How come I haven't seen him before? Is this another TV show for Taigong?"

Luo Shaoan also jumped out of the car and nodded repeatedly.

I don't mean to ask any detailed questions, I just want to say hello out of curiosity.

It's busy.

A little child came out from the crowd, holding a piece of vegetable leaf in his hand, and ran to feed the old cow.

The child was no more than five or six years old, certainly under seven.

At the age of seven, he should be in school, not running out to the streets.

Naturally, Lao Niu would not refuse a good thing that was delivered to his door. He rolled up his tongue and put the dish into his mouth, chewed it twice and nodded, meaning that the dish was good and he wanted more.

The child laughed, pulled the old cow's bridle, winked, and was about to get out of the crowd.

He was grabbed by the old man.

He slapped him on the back of the head and said, "You naughty boy, you came out with your mother to sell vegetables. Where is your stall? Take me there."

Then he waved to the people around him and said, "Go away, don't block the road. We'll drink another day."

The old man spoke and the crowd dispersed.

The child touched the back of his head, looked up and called out "Grandpa", then ran back to a vegetable stall on the left side of the road.

The old man took Luo Shaoan with him, and the old cow pulled the cart and followed behind.

Follow the child to the vegetable stall.

He glanced down and pointed behind him, "Pick up some fresh ones and put them on."

The vegetable seller was very embarrassed and kept declining, "Grandpa, you are such a naughty boy, please don't take it to heart. A vegetable leaf is nothing..."

Before he could finish his words, the old man raised his hand to interrupt him, saying with a smile: "What a smart kid, you came to our house to kowtow during the New Year, so why should I be afraid of buying you some food? Today we are entertaining guests at home, so put it on."

Then he pointed at the child and said, "You naughty boy, you come to act. Pick the young ones, don't pick the old ones."

The child readily agreed, broke off a few leaves from the vegetable stall and put them to the old cow's mouth, fed it to the old cow, and then patted the cow's nose.

Then he ran back to the vegetable stall and picked out the best few of each of the seven or eight kinds of vegetables he grew, and put them on the ox cart.

What a smart kid.

He knows how to use vegetable leaves to coax the old cow and bring business to his family.

When business comes, he still remembers to pay the old cow.

The most important thing is, don’t be greedy and don’t be annoying.

There were only a few dishes, and they were quickly placed in the car.

Luo Shaoan took out his mobile phone and was about to scan the code to pay the bill.

The old man waved his hand and turned to the vegetable seller, "Write it down."

The old lady tried to refuse, "These vegetables are not worth much, I'll just give them to you..."

Before he could finish his words, the old man stopped him again, "Remember it, remember it. If you don't remember it, the kid's work will be in vain. Buy the kid a piece of candy later to sweeten his mouth."

The aunt then took out a notebook and started writing on it with a pen.

The old man stared at her until she had written everything clearly, then he put his hands behind his back and continued walking down the street.
-
After they walked away, the old man whispered to Luo Shaoan, "The Zhao family's daughter-in-law is a chatterbox. You can't let her talk nonstop..."

This old man also likes to gossip behind people's backs.

After walking two more steps, I came across a meat stall.

The old man stopped and without him saying anything, the butcher immediately pulled out two pig tails tied with straw ropes from under the table.

"Old Master, I'll keep it for you."

The old man pointed at him and said with a smile: "My good son, you know that I love this. I will pick two pig's trotters for you to entertain the guests today."

"Thank you, old man!" The butcher was so happy to hear the old man's compliment that he quickly picked out two pig's trotters and chopped them into pieces.

After weighing it, he put it in a bag along with the pig's tail and trotted it to the ox cart. When he came back, he took out his notebook and wrote it down, "Grandpa has written it down for you."

"Okay, remember to settle the bill at the end of the month."

It turns out that the old man doesn't need cash to buy things in town, and he keeps accounts wherever he goes.

Keep walking forward leisurely.

I saw another stall selling fish.

There was water in a large wooden basin, and a few fresh fish were swimming in the water, shaking their heads and tails, splashing water and wetting the stone brick road.

Really lively.

When the fishmonger saw the old man coming, he immediately called out, "Grandpa, two fish for you, freshly caught this morning."

The old man stopped again and asked, "Where did you get it?"

"Jinxi River," the fishmonger answered immediately, and then added, "I don't even mention fish from other places. I'm lucky today, I caught a few bronze fish."

After saying this, he slapped his thigh with a look of sudden enlightenment, "No wonder I'm so lucky today, it turns out they knew you were coming."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

This behavior makes the old man happy.

Looking at the fish in the basin again, the old man was even happier. "It really is a copper fish. Put it on."

The fishmonger was also generous and carried the fish basin up on the ox cart.

After leaving the fish stall, the old man said to Luo Shaoan, "You are so lucky, little boy. I will make you a braised copper fish when I get home. The copper fish from Jinxi River is delicious..."

Luo Shaoan nodded repeatedly, and even wiped his saliva deliberately, and responded: "I've eaten it a few times, it's so delicious, I keep thinking about it, today I'm lucky~~"

The bronze fish is a close relative of the carp. It is not big, about one foot long, with a slender body and is named after its bronze color.

The fish has tender meat and few bones, and is very delicious.

It only lives in the Yangtze River and Han River basins, and only in rivers with very good water quality and fast-flowing water.

The Jinxi River near Qingmuchuan meets such conditions as it is a tributary of the Han River.

Jinxi River (Qingmuchuan section) was selected as one of the first "Most Beautiful Rivers and Lakes" in Tianhan City in 2019.

Tianhan has hundreds of rivers and hundreds of lakes, and it is rated as the most beautiful. You can imagine how beautiful it is.

Moreover, there is a description for this section of the river: "Deep water means more fish, and beautiful birds never forget to fly."

It is a paradise for fishermen.

This is what Luo's father said.

Luo Ba and his group of fishing buddies are no longer limited to the Baohe Reservoir and have begun to expand to the surrounding areas.

The copper fish that Luo Shaoan had eaten was the one that Luo’s father caught in Jinxi River.
-
Continue strolling around.

The old man pinched a piece of jelly and asked, "Can the kid eat it?"

Luo Shaoan stepped back in a hurry, shaking his head and waving his hands, "I can't eat it, I dare not eat it."

He had seen this thing before, the Qiang people's "dark cuisine", jelly made from cow scalp...

After walking a few more steps, the old man asked again, "Can I eat this?"

Luo Shaoan smiled and said, "This is good. This is edible."

What is it? Water chestnuts...

One old and one young, strolling, eating and shopping along the way.

Soon, half of the ox cart was loaded.

Half of them were bought, and half were given by villagers.

Anyway, after walking a few steps, there are many things in the car, such as a few radishes, a piece of braised meat, a bag of fruit, etc.

I didn't tell the old man at all.

Finally, they arrived at the door of a wine shop.

The old man just stood still.

Immediately, a waiter came out with a jar of wine, put it on the car, and then respectfully called out, "Master."

But this time, the old man didn't ask me to keep accounts...
