Chapter 015 Going to the market for the first time! Shopping spree!
Jiang Yao went out with a backpack on her back. After walking a certain distance, she turned around and saw two little guys standing at the door of the yard, watching her go away.
Jiang Yao waved to them, and the two little guys also waved.
Although she couldn't see the faces clearly, Jiang Yao could picture the two little guys looking eager.
Jiang Yao walked to the entrance of the village. According to memory, there would be an ox cart going to the town.
Jiang Yao was lucky. After waiting for a while, a bullock cart arrived, driven by a middle-aged man.
"Jiang Yao?" The middle-aged man was a little surprised to see Jiang Yao and looked at the backpack on her back, "Are you going to town?"
Jiang Yao knew this middle-aged man, whose surname was Niu, and was friends with her father, Jiang Guanghu.
After her father disappeared, Uncle Niu specifically came to see her and said she could come to him if she had any difficulties.
"Yes, Uncle Niu." Jiang Yao said with a smile.
"Then come up quickly and sit here. This position is comfortable." Uncle Niu patted the front seat and said.
Jiang Yao was not polite, got on the bullock cart and sat down near the front.
Uncle Niu looked at Jiang Yao's cheerful look and breathed a sigh of relief.
When Guang Hu disappeared before, seeing how sad this girl was, I was really afraid that she wouldn't survive.
Fortunately, it's getting better now.
"Uncle Niu, how many people can fit in your ox cart?" Jiang Yao asked.
"Four or five, maybe."
"How much does a trip cost per person?"
"Five cents."
The two chatted for a while, and then two women came over.
The two women were just about to get on the bullock cart when they saw Jiang Yao, a look of disgust appeared on their faces.
"Isn't this the unruly girl from the Jiang family? Why is she also in this car?"
"This is dirty. I don't want to ride in a bullock cart with her."
"Niu Dashan, please stop pulling her. If you pull her, who would dare to ride in your ox cart?"
Jiang Yao got pregnant out of wedlock, and her reputation in Qingmu Village was indeed not very good, but at most they didn't interact with her, and there were very few people who pointed fingers at her.
Before Jiang Yao could say anything, Niu Dashan lost his temper first: "If you don't want to sit down, then don't sit down. You guys have such dirty mouths, I don't want to drag you down yet."
"Niu Dashan, what are you talking about? Do you still want to make money?"
"I, Niu Dashan, really don't earn any money from you anymore. Please stay away and don't block my way." Niu Dashan said in a very bad tone.
He was a tall man and stared at the two women. The two women were so frightened that they took a few steps back and went to the roadside to wait.
Jiang Yao was a little worried: "Uncle Niu, will it delay your business?"
Facing Jiang Yao, Niu Dashan suddenly became gentle: "No, there are only two ox carts in Qingmu Village. It's their loss if they don't ride in mine."
Sure enough, as Niu Dashan said, the two women waited on the side of the road for a long time without seeing other bullock carts.
After a while, a father and a son, old and young, came again and wanted to ride in the car. The two women immediately walked up, pulling people and muttering, probably saying bad things about Niu Dashan and Jiang Yao, and asking people not to ride on Niu Dashan.
car.
But the man was in a hurry, so he didn't listen to them and quickly got on the bullock cart.
Not long after the two people got on the bus, two more people came. Looking at the two women on the road, they were a little surprised: "Zhao Ruhua, you don't want to take the bus? Thank you for giving up your seat to us."
After saying that, he got on the bullock cart and filled all the seats, making the two women jump in anger.
When the ox cart was full, Niu Dashan drove the ox cart and set off.
Two hours later, the ox-cart finally entered the town. She was used to modern airplanes and trains. The speed of this ox-cart was too slow. If it didn't arrive any longer, Jiang Yao felt like her whole body would fall apart.
"Jiang Yao, my bullock cart is parked here. I will go back in an hour." Niu Dashan said.
"Okay, Uncle Niu." Jiang Yao said.
Jiang Yao said goodbye to Uncle Niu and walked towards the market.
This ancient market looks very much like in movies and TV shows. There are many stalls and shops on both sides, and there are many people coming and going.
Jiang Yao saw a lot of food, children's toys, farm tools, and clothing stores that are not available in modern times...
Jiang Yao stopped in front of a shop. There were two pieces of animal skins hanging at the door of the shop. Looking at the word "fur" on the sign, Jiang Yao thought that this shop sold animal skins.
Jiang Yao walked in, and there were many people in front, all selling rabbit skins...
When it was Jiang Yao's turn, Jiang Yao took out the tiger skin from her backpack.
When the shopkeeper saw it, his eyes lit up. It turned out to be tiger skin! Moreover, the tiger skin was in good condition, it was very big and had no flaws...
"Five hundred coins." The shopkeeper gave a price.
"Is five hundred coins too little?" Jiang Yao said slowly, with a very sophisticated look, "If this was in the county, it could at least be sold for this amount."
Jiang Yao said, gesturing with a finger.
Seeing that she looked like an expert, the shopkeeper gave her a new price: "We can't sell it here at the price in the county. Your tiger skin has not been processed. I will give you six taels at most."
Six taels?
This tiger skin is quite valuable.
Jiang Yao was secretly happy in her heart, but her face was as steady as an old dog.
"Shopkeeper, Qi Liang, I will come to you to sell everything I have in the future."
The shopkeeper took the tiger skin, thought for a moment, and agreed.
Jiang Yao left the shop with seven taels of silver, plus the ten taels he got back from Zhao, there were seventeen taels in total.
She used the seventeen taels to buy a lot of things, including clothes, shoes, food and toys for the puppy and Tianbao, clothes for herself, and a set of clothes for Ji Huaiye to change into, and then
I also bought a pair of shoes...
Jiang Yao saw that it was almost time, so she went to the place where the cattle carts were parked in Niuda Mountain.
There were also some things at the foot of Niu Dashan. When he came to town, some villagers asked him to buy things.
He looked at Jiang Yao and suddenly smiled: "Have you finished buying everything?"
"I'm done shopping." Jiang Yao held a pair of shoes in her hand and handed them to Niu Dashan, "Uncle Niu, please try them."
Niu Dashan was startled: "Is this for me? No, don't, take it and return it quickly, don't waste this money!"
When Jiang Yao came, she saw that Niu Dashan's shoes had many holes and were so tattered that they were almost unwearable, so she thought of buying him a pair of shoes.
"Uncle Niu, just take it. It's not worth much anyway. Please help me..."
"You are my niece, of course I have to help you. Back then, your father and I were doing business together. If it hadn't been for your father, I would have died in the hands of bandits." Niu Dashan said, "Your father also helped me with this ox cart.
It was arranged. Your father and I are closer than brothers."
Speaking of which, Niu Dashan was indeed unlucky. As a merchant, his goods were robbed by bandits, and he lost all his capital and profits. He also injured his leg and was unable to do heavy work. His son was originally studying in the academy, but then he fell on his head for some reason.
, became a fool. Now, he supports a family solely by driving the bullock cart.
Previously, when Jiang Yao's father disappeared, Niu Dashan came to see her and gave her money.
It's a pity that the original person was a useless person. He took the money and handed it over to Mrs. Zhao obediently.
"Since we are closer than my biological brothers, then you are my biological uncle, so what's the matter with a pair of shoes? Can you see if they fit? If not, change them." Jiang Yao said, "Uncle Niu, hurry up, we are about to go back.
"
Niu Dashan's nose was a little sore. What a good boy. It would be great if Guang Hu was still here.
