Yiyi's ancient life

Chapter 16 Going to the Market

When Dashan came back, he saw the bunches of bright red candied haws and was shocked, "Is this the candied haws you mentioned?"

Yun Yiyi ran over to pick up a bunch as if offering a treasure, handed it to Dashan and said, "Yes, this is candied haws, it's delicious, try it!"

Although he doesn't like to eat sweet things very much, Da Shan still ate a whole one out of face.Yun Yiyi also took three sticks to Qiulian's sister-in-law's family, and was highly praised by Xiao Huzi.

Seeing that everyone's comments are so good, Yun Yiyi is more confident about going to the market tomorrow.Then she discussed with Dashan about the pricing of candied haws, and finally decided to sell them for twenty cents a bunch.

Here, one thousand Wen is equal to one tael of silver. To get that one silver ingot, you have to sell fifty strings of candied haws. But Dashan also said that the price here is not high. If it is too expensive, no one will be willing to sell it. purchase.Yun Yiyi hesitated for a while before agreeing. After all, this hawthorn is not a rare item. Even if she made the candied haws with a method unknown here, the cost of the product itself is too expensive to be honest. She is also a little guilty.

Just like that, the night passed quickly.

In order to bring the more than [-] strings of candied haws to the market, Dashan specially tied hay to a stick to make a temporary grass stick, and inserted the candied haws one by one into the hay, which is convenient and beautiful. It couldn't be more appropriate than that.

Because the market is still some distance away from Wangjia Village, it will take about half an hour if you just walk. For those young and middle-aged people, if there are women and children, it will take a little longer.So in order to save time, Dashan took Yun Yiyi to the big tree at the entrance of the village, where an old man was already waiting in a bullock cart, and there were already three people sitting in the back carriage, two women and one man, only Three positions left.

The two quickly got into the cart, and a woman came up after a while, and the ox cart finally started to move.

The six seats on the car are like this. Yun Yiyi sits in the innermost place close to the driver, next to the mountain, and beyond that is the middle-aged man who was sitting in the car before.There were three women sitting opposite her, two of them were in their 30s, and they looked like married women, with their hair all pulled back and combed in a bun; the other looked only fifteen , six years old, braided two thin braids hanging on both sides of the ears, and the rest were loosely draped behind her back, looking delicate and cute.

The little girl has been staring curiously at the candied haws in Dashan's hand since Yun Yiyi and the others got in the car. It was obvious that she really wanted to ask what it was, but maybe it was because of embarrassment, so in Yun Yiyi's eyes, it was just His face was full of curiosity and hesitation.

Yun Yiyi waited for a while to see that she still didn't ask, and she couldn't stand it anymore, so she took the initiative to say: "Little girl, do you want to ask what this is?"

The little girl nodded again and again, "Yeah, sister, what is this?"

"This one is called candied haws!"

"Wow, it looks delicious, did my sister make it?"

"Yes, do you want to eat?" Yun Yiyi took a bunch and handed it to her.

The little girl quickly waved her hand, "No need, no need, my sister is going to sell it in the market, right? How can you give it to me?"

Yun Yiyi smiled kindly, and said in a warm voice: "It's okay, I'll treat it like my sister invites you to try it, and you help my sister eat it to see if it tastes good, and if you take it to the market, someone will buy it."

Hearing the words, the little girl glanced at her sister-in-law who was sitting next to her, and saw that she also nodded, and then took the bunch of candied haws, and took the first bite under Yun Yiyi's "anticipating" eyes, and then her eyes lit up .

"It's delicious, sister!"

Yun Yiyi smiled very nicely when she heard that, "Really?"

"Hmm," the little girl's eyes were bent like crescent moons.

At this time, the sister-in-law next to the little girl also spoke: "Thank you, girl, I don't know how to call this girl?"

"Hi sister-in-law, my name is Yun Yiyi, and the person next to me is my cousin named Dashan." There is a reason for Yun Yiyi to say this, in order to prevent others from gossiping about them in the future, she had to make up such a reason. .

It's just that she was so focused on talking to others that she didn't see that Dashan's eyes turned cold when she heard what she said. After a while, Yun Yiyi suddenly felt a little cold, so cold that she shivered, so she subconsciously tightened her eyes. Tighten the clothes on his body.

Along the way, Yun Yiyi was chatting with the sister-in-law and the little girl.During the chat, she learned that this sister-in-law was named Liu Qingping; next to her was her sister-in-law named Wang Liuye, who just turned 15 this year.They went to the market this time to see the man from Qingping's family. Her man, Wang Xinfu, works as a shopkeeper in a grocery store in the city. He has four days off in a month. Tomorrow is his day off, and he happens to have some things at home. She wanted to buy it, so she simply brought her sister-in-law to the city, planning to stay here for one night, so that everyone could have a companion when they go back together tomorrow.

The bullock cart wobbled to a stop at the entrance of the city gate, and the group of people got off the cart and parted ways, each going to the place they wanted to go.

Yun Yiyi asked Dashan to take her to the place with the most traffic, and Dashan took her to the center of the market.This market is quite big, and it is clearly divided. The east side sells cloth and clothes, the south side is small commodities and various snack bars, the west side is the vegetable market, and the north side is the livestock trading market.

It's like a cross, and where they are standing now is the center of the cross.No matter what you want to buy, you will pass by here, and Yun Yiyi and Dashan's stop here, not to mention, really attracted many people to stop.

The first person to ask was a woman in her 40s leading a five or six-year-old boy.

"Mother, what is that, it looks delicious, mother buy it for me!"

"Okay, okay, my mother will buy it for you. Girl, what are you doing? How did you sell it?"

"Hi sister-in-law, ours is called 'candied haws'. It's sweet and sour, and it's delicious! It only costs [-] yuan a bunch. It's delicious and not expensive. I'm sure you'll want to eat it again!"

"Twenty Wen, it's too expensive! Miss, can you see if it can be cheaper?"

"Sister-in-law, this one is really not cheap. Look at these big and round hawthorns, and the layer of syrup wrapped on the outside. They are all made of the best hawthorns and syrups that I carefully selected. The cost alone It's not cheap, so... I'm really sorry!" Then he turned his eyes to the little boys who were staring at the candied haws, "Kids, do you want to eat?"

The little boy nodded desperately, and then shook his mother's hand even harder, "Mother, mother, I want to eat, mother, buy it for me, mother!"

The woman was so shaken by him that her heart softened. This was the child she gave birth with great difficulty when she was 40 years old. It can be said that she had a child in the middle age, and she was in pain at ordinary times. It could almost be called Baiyi. Bai Shun.In fact, the [-] Wen is indeed a little expensive, but if the child likes it, just buy it, and it’s not every day anyway.

"Okay, okay, give me a bunch."

Yun Yiyi hurriedly brought them a bunch, at this time another couple came over with a little girl, and when they saw the candied haws she was holding, they also stopped.

The little boy got the candied haws and couldn't wait to take a bite, his eyes lit up instantly, it was delicious!The little girl next to him watched him eating happily, swallowed unconsciously, and looked at her parents expectantly.

The couple are dressed in silk and satin, and they look like they have a wealthy family.So Yun Yiyi worked harder to sell, maybe they would each ask for a bunch~
Under her hard-selling, they finally bought two skewers, except that the man probably thought it was not decent for a big man to eat this kind of food in public, so he resisted buying it.But after they left, Yun Yiyi saw the woman who had just walked not far away holding up a candied haws and fed him one, she couldn't help laughing, looked at Dashan beside her and said, "Hey Dashan brother, look at that couple are so loving Ah, feeding candied haws on the street, it’s so sweet, I’m so envious!”

Because of what Yun Yiyi said in the car, "He is her cousin", Dashan has not said a word until now, and he doesn't want to talk to her at the moment, and just doesn't look at her with a cold face. not back to her.

It was only then that Yun Yiyi felt something was wrong, what's wrong with Brother Dashan?But before she could ask, another customer came to her door, so she had to pull herself together and continue her plan to make money.

It may be because the candied haws are really rare, because they have never seen them before, and everyone praised them again and again after eating, so that all 27 candied haws were sold out before lunch.

At this moment, some people came up to ask, and they all left disappointed when they learned that there was no more. A little boy chased after her and asked when he would sell it again. After he got it, he would come again in a few days. Finally, she left with one step at a time, Yun Yiyi couldn't stop laughing, so she decided to make some and sell them in two days, and go to the mountain to look for them tomorrow to see if there are any hawthorns to pick.
