Chapter 9: A Small Soup Pond Selling Mushrooms

"Mother-in-law, is there anyone here to take care of you?" Tangchi walked up to an old woman buying vegetables and asked.

There was no one in front of the old lady's vegetable stall.

She glanced at Tangchi, then put down the food in her hand, and sighed: "Those people are all blood-sucking bugs, how can they not charge money?" She spoke with cloudy eyes filled with disappointment and numbness towards life.

"Uh, mother-in-law..." Tangchi looked at it, feeling a little uncomfortable. She couldn't protect herself now, and there was no way to help her. They were little people living at the bottom of society, and anyone with a little bit of power could bully them.

"The new county magistrate took office last month. I heard he is a promising young man, but which magistrate is not greedy in the end..." The old woman seemed to have found the person to complain to, and she took Tangchi and vomited her bitterness for a long time.

.

The more Tangchi listened, the more he felt that the world was so dark and that he could not live through this life.

It happened that someone came to buy vegetables, so Tangchi turned around and left. After walking a few steps, his mood improved a little. There will always be a way, at worst, he will starve to death and go back to time travel again!

Thinking about it now, it's a good thing she didn't act impulsively to set up a stall here, otherwise even if she turned into mushrooms and sold them by the pound, she wouldn't be able to pay the rent.

Tangchi was a little confused and carried her mushrooms through several streets.

The steamed buns taste so good, the clothes in the clothing store are so beautiful, the hairpins on the stalls are beautiful...but she only has mushrooms.

At least... it's much better than those people begging.

Looking at the people begging along the street with emotion for a while, Tangchi's eyes suddenly lit up. The way these beggars followed passers-by to beg reminded her of those beggars who suddenly appear in front of you on many modern streets, then mysteriously lift up their coats, and there are a few hanging inside.

An uncle with a row of flashing fake watches or a row of mobile phones.

She looked at the bustling crowd, took a deep breath, and then walked into the crowd.

"Master, do you want mushrooms? The best Tangshan mushrooms!"

"Tangshan...where? I have traveled all over famous mountains and rivers, how could I not have heard of this mountain?"

"..." The mountains behind Tangchi's house!



"This beautiful sister, do you want to buy mushrooms? The best Tangshan mushrooms!"

"Go, go, go...go away!" A certain aunt touched her face and walked away proudly, leaving makeup all over the floor.



"Little girl, do you want to buy some salt?"

"Uncle, how much does this salt cost per pound?" Tangchi asked with a pair of bright eyes looking at the white salt.

"Sixty cents a pound."

"Oh..." Tangchi nodded and turned around to leave. For sixty cents per catty, she didn't know how many mushrooms she would have to sell. However, as soon as she had money, the first thing she would do was buy salt!

On the first day, Tangchi didn't sell a single mushroom and returned to the village disappointed.

Going back from the city, you must pass through the east of the village, and when you pass through the east of the village, Tangchi will inevitably be criticized by others.

"His father, you said she came with you today?" Aunt Li stood at the door of her house and asked loudly toward the house.

Aunt Li's husband came out with a piece of cloth in his hand. "Isn't it her..."

"Be careful! Tangchi will seduce your stepfather at a young age. If you fall for this shameless trick, I will kill you!" Aunt Li said loudly while poking her husband fiercely.

her forehead, and her eyes glanced at the soup pond passing by her door.
