Biyu and the others left the livestock area and were going back. Ayan suggested that they go to the vegetable area to see what fresh exotic fruits and vegetables there are and buy some to eat back.

After walking around for a long time, I didn't find anything rare. Biyu said: "We have everything here, but there is nothing new."

A Miao said: "At this time, dried fruits are out of date, and fruits are still earlier, so of course they are more monotonous."

"How to sell this coriander?"

A crisp and familiar voice came from the right side of Biyu. Biyu turned around and saw two people standing in front of a coriander stall. The taller one was holding a vegetable basket with some ordinary fruits and vegetables in it, and the shorter one was holding a vegetable basket.

The person who was asking about the price, even though his back was turned to him, could be recognized at a glance from the unique butterfly pattern robe.

What day is it today? Not only did I encounter strange things, but I also met this weird person. After several contacts, Shi Biyu was unknowingly afraid of Xiao Mo. This Qiang man is said to be wandering around, why is he still here?

?

"These small green vegetables have thin stems and small leaves. What are you buying them for? They are not enough to eat one bite."

"Brother Shu, you don't know that this is not produced locally, but comes from the Western Regions. It's called coriander. It's not for eating, but for seasoning, making soup, and mixing with vegetables.

Even though it’s small, if there are two of us, we only need to put three or two sticks in each time.”

"Ah? The two of them actually ate together. Shu Yan, a minister with access to the inner court, actually got so close to a Qiang man."

People were coming and going in the market. Shu Yan and Xiao Mo were focused on buying vegetables, so they did not see Bi Yu and the others. After buying coriander, the two walked to the nearby aquatic product area. Bi Yu also followed them mysteriously.

.The aquatic products area certainly has a fishy smell. There are several large ones in front of the larger vendors’ stalls.

There is some water in the pottery urn, and fish of various colors with green backs and white bellies are put in to ensure freshness. However, there is no pottery urn in front of the small vendors, only a broken straw mat, or three or five fish that are not neatly arranged.

Fish are placed on it. Although they are big and small, they all die because they are out of the water.

, the fishy smell attracted flies flying around, and they had no choice but to wave away rags with their hands. These people basically worked for themselves, fishing in the river during the day, and then selling the fish in the market for exchange.

Some firewood and rice. Looking at them, Shu Yan remembered that he once went to chop firewood before dawn.

After finishing the firewood, he picks it up and sells it in the market, just to make ends meet. There is an old fisherman next to him, he looks to be about sixty years old. In front of him are one large, two small, and three dead fish. The old man is wearing a dirty suit.

He was wearing patched linen clothes and had a sallow complexion and thin skin. When Shu Yan saw it, he felt compassion.

"Ah, what is this?" Xiao Mo suddenly found a lot of strange green things crawling around in a large pottery urn in front of a large stall.

"You don't know this, right? This is a crab, a very delicious aquatic product. No wonder, you were born in the northwest, how could you know this?" Shu Yan explained.

"So this is a crab. Brother Shu, have you tried it? How does it taste?"

"I once caught it in the river when I was a kid, just for fun, but I couldn't fill my stomach. When it comes to catching crabs, Zhixin and I..." Shu Yan was about to tell Xiao Mo the interesting story of catching crabs, but unexpectedly,

Xiao Mo put a hand into the pottery jar because he was curious about the crab's weirdness, "Hey, don't catch it, it will bite you."

It was already too late. With a loud cry of "Ah", a large pincer firmly clamped one of Xiao Mo's fingers and took it out of the pottery urn.

"Oh, you are always so frizzy. I was just about to say that this thing can trap people, so you can't scratch it randomly."

Xiao Mo swung around in pain, Shu Yan said hurriedly: "Don't move around, be careful of touching the other pincer."

Unfortunately, he was right again. Shu Yan quickly used two fingers to hold the back and abdomen of the crab from behind. With a little force, the crab felt pain and the two big claws were released. Although it was loosened

But Xiao Mo's two delicate fingers were already bleeding. Shu Yan hurriedly squeezed out the congestion.

Xiao Mo was in pain and was getting anxious when suddenly someone laughed loudly behind him. He turned around and saw that it was Shi Biyu.

"One doesn't know coriander, and the other doesn't know crab. They're both things I'm tired of eating, but you don't know them. What a pair of bumpkins, hahaha."

After hearing this, Shu Yan angrily scolded: "I was caught by a crab, and you are still making fun of me. Do you understand?"

"A grown man gets pinched by a crab, what's the big deal?"

Facing Bi Yu's ridicule, Xiao Mo was not angry. He asked Shu Yan: "Brother Shu, what did you just say about catching crabs?"

"When catching a crab, you must not grab it from the front or touch its big claws. You must also be careful when grabbing its sides because there are spines on its sides. It is best to grab its back, like this.

"

"Oh, I see, is that right?" Xiao Mo imitated Shu Yan and grabbed a crab, squinting his eyes behind him, "Brother Shu, some people say that crabs bite people without pain, should we let him confirm it?"

While talking, look at Shibi

Yu, "swipe" and threw the crab over. Bi Yu was laughing at Xiao Mo, but Xiao Mo unexpectedly came up with this move. He was completely unprepared. Seeing the crab flying, he subconsciously used his sleeves to block it, but unexpectedly, it happened to be thrown right in front of him.

Inside the sleeve.

Biyu screamed in fright, Ah Miao, Ah Yan shouted: "Hurry up and throw your sleeves away." Before she finished speaking, Biyu's eyes widened and her mouth opened in pain: "Woo--ah". Everyone's feelings

I know it pinched my arm.

"A grown man just got pinched by a crab. How does it hurt?" Seeing this scene, Xiao Mo completely forgot about his own pain and shook his head and counterattacked, "A man who is tired of eating crabs, how can he still bite crabs?"

Get closer and closer to you."

A Miao and A Yan hurriedly took off Biyu's thin shirt, and the stall owner also came over to help take off the crabs.

"Hurry up and squeeze out the blood for me. That crab was dipped in that bitch's blood and pinched my flesh. How could I have such a noble blood mixed with that bitch's blood?"

A Miao helped him squeeze the blood. After hearing this, Xiao Mo teased him even more: "Hey, Mr. Shi, your family is so rich. You can just buy a few crabs if you want. Why are you secretly hiding them in your sleeves?"

."

Biyu gritted his teeth and said: "Even if I am rich, no matter what, the slaves in my family can eat crabs, and they are better than you, the poor people."

"Hmph, that's too much to bully. What's so big about a few broken crabs?" Xiao Mo turned to the stall owner and asked, "How do you sell crabs, by the pound or by the piece? Give me ten."

"Okay." The stall owner tied up ten crabs, strung them on a rope, and handed them to Xiao Mo, "Here you go, a total of one thousand yuan."

"What? A thousand dollars? Is it so expensive?" Xiao Mo touched his nose. If he bought these ten crabs, he and Brother Shu might be hungry for a month.

"Hahahaha, you don't have money but you still want to eat fresh food. What are you pretending to be here? Your true colors are revealed, right?" The two sides attacked and defended. At this time, it was Biyu's turn to laugh at Xiaomo. He said to the stall owner again: "These

I want crabs."

"Master, how much do you want, I can pick it up for you."

"Didn't you hear, I've got all these crabs."

"All covered?"

"Nonsense, you can take as many as you want and carry them all to my car."

"Okay." The stall owner said eagerly, quickly tied up the crabs and skewered them.

"Let's go back and settle the accounts with this weird Qiang man later." Biyu asked Amiao to pay the money. They walked back and passed by the old man selling fish in ragged clothes. The old man requested: "This big man

Young Master, you are so rich, just buy these fish from me. The fish are not fresh, so I can give you less money."

When Biyu saw it, he covered his nose with his sleeves and said, "What kind of broken fish is this? It's already smelly. How can I eat it?"

"It doesn't smell bad. It was all shot up today. He just died, so why does it smell bad?"

Biyu didn't listen to the old man's explanation and left quickly.

"How do you sell this fish?" Shu Yan and Xiao Mo came over.

"How many do you want?"

"Want them all."

"Ah? Brother Shu, it's such a hot day and you want these three fishes. How can we finish them?"

Shu Yan smiled and said nothing.

"My fish is not fresh, so I can give it cheaper to you."

"No, you can pay as much as you want."

The old man weighed the fish and thought, I have met a noble person today, and the old woman and I have enough money.

Xiao Mo paid the money and left first in anger. Shu Yan chased after him, "What's wrong with you?"

"Brother Shu, I don't know what you are thinking. I say you are extravagant, but you buy dead fish. I say you are frugal, but you bought three fish at once, and you still don't let others take advantage of them. What's the point of this?"

Shu Yan smiled and said, "Let me tell you, you people of noble background don't understand the suffering of the poor at all. Look at the old man's shabby clothes. He is so old and should be enjoying a comfortable life in a rich family.

But he still has to make a living on his own, so he must have no food and clothing. Don’t you feel pitiful? No matter how difficult it is for us, at least we are better than him, right? If I don’t help him a little, why can’t I bear to give him a few dollars?”

Xiao Mo came from a chief's family and really didn't understand the hardships of poor people's survival. After hearing Shu Yan's words, she suddenly became enlightened and touched her change, "How about I give him some more money."

"Here he comes again, saying that wind is like rain. He must have gone back long ago after selling fish. Where can you find him? You don't have to give him money deliberately. Just buy some every time you meet him selling fish.

It’s like helping him.”

"Well, anyway, I have many ways to cook fish. I bought coriander today and I will make steamed fish tomorrow."

"You can't finish all the fish, so why not call Brother Ye and let him enjoy your meal?"

"That's fine."

In the early morning of the next day, it was just dawn. Shu Yan got up late because he was taking a rest, and was still dazed in his sleep. Suddenly he heard Xiao Mo yelling, and then heard another shout: "Get out." After a while, he saw him again.
