The history of struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 6 Market
While cooking breakfast, Han Qianluo thought of a question, what to do if those wild vegetables were brought to the market and no one bought them.When Han Qianluo thought of this possibility, he felt a little worried. He couldn't force others to buy it, so how could he persuade them to buy it?
"Xiao Luo, what are you thinking? The fire in the stove is about to go out." Han Shui'er reminded Han Qianluo who was distracted.

Han Qianluo came back to his senses and saw that the fire in the stove was almost burnt out, so he quickly added a handful of firewood and said worriedly: "Sister, I want to sell these wild vegetables, but I I’m worried that those people won’t buy it, what should I do?”

"What wild vegetables?" Han Shui'er asked.

Han Qianluo pointed to the Chinese toon sprouts and bracken placed in the wooden basin, and said, "That's those." Han Shui'er frowned, and said, "Are these edible? Why have I never seen anyone eat them?"

"Of course it can be eaten, and it's still very good." Han Qianluo said with certainty.

Although Han Qianluo didn't expect Han Shui'er to come up with any good solutions, she always came up with ideas, but unexpectedly she said simply: "I can't help it, I haven't seen anyone who has eaten it, and I wouldn't dare to eat it if it was me. "

"Sister, how can you say that?"

"I'm telling the truth. Few people are willing to spend money on something that no one has ever eaten." Han Shuier said, putting the finished steamed buns into the pottery pot one by one, and then put the lid on the pottery pot .

Han Qianluo understood that the second sister, Han Shuier, was telling the truth. For things that had never been seen before, especially food, people would wait and see rather than spend money on buying.Han Qianluo thought for a while, and finally came up with an idea to try it out, and it wasn't her own idea, and she had seen others do it before.

The water in the two clay pots at the back boiled quickly. Han Qianluo put a little bit of bracken and Chinese toon sprouts into them respectively, and took the bracken out of the boiling water after passing through the water once, so as to remove the bracken. Muddy.The Chinese toon sprouts were just blanched for a while, then picked up, put them in a wicker basket and let them cool down, ready to be mixed later.

Han Shui'er saw Han Qianluo's wild vegetables packed in bamboo baskets, and asked curiously, "Xiao Luo, what are you going to do with this wild vegetables?"

"Sister, come and light the fire, I'll find something." Han Qianluo said.

Han Qianluo is going to mix this wild vegetable cold. Cold mixing is the easiest way, but it needs some seasoning.At this time, the sky was already dark, and the kitchen could be seen. Han Qianluo stood up from the stove and replaced Han Shui'er to light the fire.

Han Qianluo searched through boxes and cabinets in the kitchen, but found a few small stalks of garlic in a corner, only the size of a little finger, not only smelled of garlic, but also of onions.Han Qianluo was very happy, it seemed that there was another seasoning for the cold wild vegetables.

Han Qianluo searched the kitchen and found not only a small root of garlic, but also a few dried mushrooms.However, Han Qianluo did not find vegetable oil, only a clay pot of animal oil, which had solidified into a snow-white color.Han Qianluo was a little worried. There was no vegetable oil for cold dressing, and it would not taste good at all.

"Xiao Luo, do you want to eat this this morning? Then I won't cook any vegetables." Han Shui'er pointed to the blanched wild vegetables in the basket.

Han Qianluo nodded, cut the cooled bracken and Chinese toon sprouts into small pieces, and then chopped the small root garlic. There was no other seasoning at home, so Han Qianluo only put a little salt and small root garlic, There is nothing else.

After mixing it well, Han Qianluo couldn't wait to take a wild vegetable with his hand to taste it. Just as he put the wild vegetable in his mouth, he heard Han Shuier's dissatisfied voice: "Xiaoluo!" The tone of Han was dissatisfied with Han Qianluo's action just now.

Han Qianluo naturally understood what Han Shui'er meant, and said with a smile, "Sister, I'll just taste it." Han Shui'er had nothing to do with her, so he didn't say anything else.

Han Qianluo tasted a little bit, and felt that it was not as delicious as the ones he had eaten before. It seems that this seasoning is also very important.Still, even if it's not that tasty, it's a lot better than boiled vegetables.

At breakfast, the other three looked at the plate of cold wild vegetables and were a little afraid to move their chopsticks. Han Qianluo was a little helpless, so he took the lead to eat it, and the three of them dared to eat it.

"Xiao Luo, I didn't expect this food to be quite delicious." Han Qingquan couldn't help admiring after taking a bite, then he stopped talking and hurried to eat.

After Han Sanwei ate it, he couldn't help but said: "Sister San, this is really delicious." As he spoke, he took a chopstick of Chuncai and said proudly, "I picked this one."

"Hurry up and eat, we have to go to the market after eating, if you don't hurry up, it will be too late." Han Shuier said, several people stopped talking, and hurried to eat, everyone went to the market after eating.

After eating, Han Qingquan took the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen to wash, and said to Han Qianluo and the others: "You guys go first, I will come when I finish washing."

Han Qianluo didn't say much, Han Qingquan had long hands and feet, and walked fast, so there was no need to argue with him, so he picked up a basket full of wild vegetables and a plate of mixed wild vegetables, and covered them with a piece of cloth .Han Shui'er also packed the woven cloth, and the three of them went out to the market.

In the memory left by the original owner to Han Qianluo, the place to go to catch the fair is not too far away, it only takes an hour to go there.Han Qianluo calculated in his heart, one hour, that is two hours, he had never traveled such a long distance before.

Just as Han Qianluo and the others went out, they saw the widow next door, Mrs. Li, and her family also going out, carrying a basket on their backs with some cloth in it.

"Shui'er, are you going to the market too?" Mrs. Li greeted warmly.

"Yes, Aunt Li, you guys go to the market too, let's go together." Han Shui'er replied.

Mrs. Li locked the door, and then their group turned into six people, talking and laughing along the way, Han Qianluo didn't find it difficult to walk, and arrived at the market.

"If there are more people, the road will be shorter." Li said with a smile.

"Yeah, walking alone always feels like it's going to take a long time." Han Shui'er said.

Han Qianluo did not participate in their conversation, but just listened from the sidelines, looking at this so-called big collection by the way.As Han Qianluo and the others walked, they saw hawkers setting up stalls on the side of the road. Han Qianluo knew that the market was here.However, there seemed to be very few hawkers on the side of the road, and there were only a few people. Han Qianluo was a little puzzled. What's going on? Isn't it a big market?

However, Han Shui'er and the others did not stop, but continued to move forward.After walking a few steps, the number of hawkers increased. Han Qianluo found that it was not much different from those markets in the countryside in his previous life. People built a wooden shelf and put things on it.

After arriving at the market, Mrs. Li separated from them. Han Qianluo thought about selling wild vegetables, so she said to Han Shuier, "Sister, I'm going to sell this wild vegetables."

"Go, be careful." Han Shui'er said.

Han Qianluo carried a basket, and walked through the crowd cautiously. In fact, there were not many people, but these people were not empty-handed. They were either carrying baskets, carrying baskets, or carrying baskets, so it seemed particularly crowded.

Han Qianluo searched for a while before finding a place that sells vegetables.Han Qianluo randomly found a free place, put the basket on the ground, uncovered the cloth on it, and put the bowl of mixed wild vegetables aside.

On the left of Han Qianluo is a seller of wild vegetables, which are also placed in a basket, and on the right is a seller of poultry, all of which are tied with ropes to their feet and wings, and placed in baskets, so Han Qian will not be soiled by then. Falling wild vegetables.

It's probably because there are quite a few people shopping for groceries right now when they are out of stock.The poultry seller next to him quickly sold several of them.Han Qianluo didn't even have a glance here, but the wild vegetable seller next to him hadn't sold yet.

Han Qianluo thought for a while, and felt that he had to yell, so he yelled loudly: "We sell wild vegetables. You can taste delicious wild vegetables before you buy them."

Maybe Han Qianluo's yelling worked, maybe because he was interested in this taste before buying, a middle-aged woman came over, looked at the wild vegetables in Han Qianluo's basket, and asked curiously: "What is this, I Why have you never seen it before?"

Han Qianluo looked at the middle-aged woman and weighed in his heart whether this woman would buy it or not.Although this middle-aged woman is also wearing plain linen clothes, but there is not a single patch on the clothes, it seems that the family should be quite affluent.

Han Qianluo raised a smiling face, pointed at the toon sprouts and said: "This wild vegetable is delicious, and it can also cure diseases. It can appetize and invigorate the spleen. It is very good for dysentery and enteritis. It can also resist aging and make you healthier." Pretty." In fact, there is also an effect of "assisting pregnancy", but Han Qianluo is not ashamed to say it, after all, she is still a girl who is not good enough, no one will believe it, and it will make people laugh.

Han Qianluo's words attracted many women, including young and middle-aged.A young woman asked, "Little girl, can eating this really make you look pretty?" As soon as she asked, several other women also stared at Han Qianluo, waiting for her answer.

Han Qianluo didn't expect that just saying "beautiful" would have such a big effect. It seems that love of beauty has no distinction between ancient and modern, and it is the weakness of women.Thinking about this in my heart, I replied: "Of course, if you eat more, you will become beautiful, and if you eat less, it will have no effect."

Although those women were a little moved, none of them bought it, and they were all hesitant.Seeing this, Han Qianluo quickly said, "You can try it first, it's delicious." Several people hesitated, and after a while, a young woman said, "I'll try." the young woman.

The young woman took a sip and immediately said, "Little girl, how do you sell this?"
