Chapter Eleven Buying and Selling (1)

On this day, Li Xin looked at the bamboo shoots that had been pickled for ten days. He thought that the pickled bamboo shoots should have been pickled, so he opened a jar.

As soon as the jar was opened, a rich and long flavor of sour bamboo shoots came out. She fished out some and tried it. It was very sour and very appetizing. It happened that there was still a piece of meat left in the meat given by the village chief.

After a while, Li Xin made some stir-fried pork slices with sour bamboo shoots. Although there was no seasoning, Wenbo and the others still ate happily, and their stomachs were full in the end.

"I didn't expect these bamboo shoots to be so delicious when pickled!" Wen Hao said happily.

"It's delicious, so you don't need to eat so much! We have marinated a lot of it! We don't know how long we will eat it yet." Li Xin poked Wen Hao's head with his finger in a funny way. He ate the most.

I don’t know how such a small child can eat so much.

"It's rare to eat so well." Wen Hao said a little embarrassed.

"Okay, as long as we work hard, we can eat well every day in the future. Go wash up! After washing, walk around in the yard before going to bed. If you are full, wait for digestion before going to bed, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable

.”

The next day, Aunt Zhang came to Li's house early in the morning. After hearing what Aunt Zhang told Li Xin, she realized that today was the day to go to the town to go to the market. The market in the town was held once every six days, and the market belonged to this town.

Many villages go to the market, where some people go to buy things and some go to sell things. It is very lively. It is also a common form of trade organization in this era. Most people will not go to the town on weekdays.

I also think about the things I want to buy, and then buy them back when I go to the market.

In fact, there are also fixed shops in the town. Those shops are open every day, but the ones that visit most are people from the town or villages very close to the town. There is also a morning market in the town, which opens early every morning.

The transaction only lasts for a little more than an hour, so it is called the "morning market". Generally, the items traded are mainly fresh fruits and vegetables. Suburban vegetable farmers and urban residents go to the market in the morning.

When they heard that they were going to the market, the children were happy at first, and then lowered their heads. Their families had no money, and they couldn't afford anything even if they went to the market. Li Xin was a little excited when she heard that she had never gone to the ancient market.

What’s the market like? I don’t know what it looks like yet. Besides, there are so many sour bamboo shoots being pickled at home. She also wants to take them to the town to have a look and wonder if anyone will buy them. The family is really very poor.

I don’t have anything, I still have to find a way to make some money.

Li Xin told Aunt Zhang that she was going, and then fished out some pickled bamboo shoots, packed them, and put them in a backpack. She and Wen Hao each carried a basket on their backs and went out. It happened that the village chief's family was also driving an ox cart to the town.

When I saw them, I asked them to ride in an ox cart together. The speed of the ox cart is actually not fast, it is leisurely, and sometimes it is not as fast as people walking. But the only advantage of riding an ox cart is that it saves effort, which is not available here

People in the village cannot afford cars and horses, so the only means of transportation is an ox cart.

Riding on a bullock cart, we wandered all the way, and it took us almost half an hour to arrive at the town. Fortunately, Guihua Village is not very far from the town. From some remote villages, it takes two or three hours to get to the town!

This town is called "Sanshi Town". I don't know the origin of the name. Anyway, this name has been used for many generations. After all, it is located in the south and the land is fertile, so Sanshi Town is still a wealthy place, so the size of the town is still small.

Really not small.

The streets alone are crisscrossed in all directions, with several streets and many shops. Looking at the bustling crowds in the town, Li Xin has to say that Sanshi Town is still very prosperous. There are also many people in the town. In addition to the rows of shops, there are also

There are many houses, and there are really many houses. However, the streets are arranged in a very orderly manner, and there is no sense of clutter at all. When they arrived in the town, the village chief and Li Xin separated and only said that they were going back.

Meet at the place where the cattle carts are parked.

Aunt Zhang took Li Xin and her brother shopping around. Aunt Zhang brought some home-produced agricultural products to sell, including eggs and some home-spun twine. In this era, hemp was commonly grown, and many families would plant it in front of and behind their houses.

If you plant some, you can spin your own flax, and some people even weave their own linen cloth. Aunt Zhang first found a place to put the things, and then took out a few copper plates and asked Li Xin to take Wen Hao around and buy some food.

Just come here to find her later.

Li Xin took the copper plate and left with Wen Hao. Li Xin thought, bamboo shoots only last for one season, so naturally sour bamboo shoots cannot be pickled all the time. Since you want to make money with sour bamboo shoots, you have to make more at this time.

Selling some of them in the market little by little was not an option, so she thought of finding a place like a restaurant to have a look. If she could find a partner for long-term cooperation, the sour bamboo shoots would naturally be sold.

Worried about selling.

"Sister, where are we going?" Wen Hao looked around. He hadn't been to the town for a long time, and everything he looked at felt new.

"Do you know where there is a restaurant?" It turns out that Li Xin didn't go to the market very much. He had been to the town only a handful of times and had no memories of restaurants.

"There are two big restaurants in the town, both in the south of the city, not far apart. One is called Yuan Ke Lai, which I heard has been open in the town for many years; the other is called Pinxiang Pavilion, which seems to have only opened two years ago.

.”

Yuanke Lai is a two-story restaurant, with a lobby downstairs and private rooms upstairs. However, they were unable to enter Yuanke Lai because they were stopped by the waiter as soon as they arrived at the door. "Come on, we are here to eat."

A place, not a place to beg for food.”

Wen Hao's face instantly darkened, and he glared at the waiter angrily. Li Xin didn't think anything of it. After all, she had lived for a long time and had seen through many things. There are snobbish people everywhere.

In fact, it’s not surprising at all. In fact, what those snobs look down on is not the person himself. Just like a story once said, he was a distinguished guest invited by the host of the banquet, but he was stopped by the person at the door because his clothes were a bit shabby.

.He went back and changed his clothes, and the person who stopped him warmly invited him in.

This kind of story sounds like a joke, but in fact, this is human nature.

"Let's go!" Li Xin smiled and pulled Wen Hao to leave. She looked at what she and Wen Hao were wearing, and she saw that they were indeed going to be looked down upon! Not to mention the patches all over their bodies, the size was inappropriate.

I don’t know who made it out of someone’s old clothes. The only good thing is that it was washed very clean, but it still looks tattered.

"Why is he like this!" Wen Hao was very angry.
