142 Octopus Stand
Feeling humiliated, he had no choice but to turn around and walk back.

Qiao Yun raised her eyebrows again: "Why, don't you want it?"

Shopkeeper Chi sighed, and winked at the guy beside him.The young man took out four large gold leaves from the bag on his body and handed it over. Hearing the sound of being flipped inside the bag, there should be several coins in it.

Qiao Yun took the gold leaf and teased: "So you have brought enough money, I thought you didn't bring enough money with you today! Come on, move your things away!"

Shopkeeper Chi glared at her angrily, but he didn't say anything after all, he called his two men to move the five cylinders of chili noodles to the ox cart, and walked away.

At present, she has more than 230 punctures on her body.

She looked at Yun Xuemei: "Did you bring the other two hundred guan?"

Yun Xuemei nodded, and showed her the box in her hand: "It's ready."

Inside the box were twenty gold leaves.

"Okay. Wait for me to change clothes. Let's go to the pawn shop to redeem the clothes and jewelry."

It's very busy outside today.This is the first gathering in the county after the Chinese New Year.Several villages near Quwo County will bring their own agricultural products to the county to set up stalls.The ten-day rally is the only day on the county's main thoroughfare when the street is allowed to be clogged with cluttered stalls.

There are only two avenues in the county where stalls are allowed. The one in front of Qiao Yun’s house runs from the east gate of Nancheng to the west gate of Nancheng, and the other runs from the south gate of Nancheng to the bank of the Hui River. The two avenues form a T shape.Both roads are in the south of the city. The south side of the city is where low- and middle-income people such as craftsmen and small traders in Quwo County gather. Those wealthy households in the north of the city do not rarely come to the market to buy things!

When the two came out of the pawn shop, what Yun Xuemei was holding in her hand was no longer the small box with gold leaves, but a set of neatly stacked clothes and emerald jade heads in dowry.

Ugh!
Why are you always paying ransoms lately, either for people or for things?

Qiao Yun is still not satisfied with the current speed of making money.

How can I get rich?Isn't it just a way to increase revenue and reduce expenditure?The problem is that Qiao Yun is already throttling enough, but open source is not enough at all.

The money in her hand can now be used for another shop. The problem is not the money, but the lack of manpower!

She said she would hire him, but she was not at ease with the guy she hired.Getting along with the clerk is not just about paying wages on time and everything will be fine. Unfortunately, she has never been exposed to the art of manipulating people in her previous life, and she still doesn't know anything about it.

This matter still depends on Xie Yutan.

By the way, I agreed to go to Ding Shi Ji to brush my face every day!

Qiao Yun and Yun Xuemei returned home together, Qiao Yun said: "I'm going to Ding Shi Ji to find Xie Yutan to figure out how to make money, are you going?"

Yun Xuemei shook her head, and lay lazily on the bed: "I haven't finished reading the book you gave me last time..."

"Pfft, that's fine."

Qiao Yun said: "I put a few steamed buns on the kitchen table, if you get hungry at noon, you can steam them and eat them yourself."

"Aren't you coming back at noon?"

"Not necessarily!" Qiao Yun waved her hand. "I remember that I have an uncle who seems to work in Ding Shi Ji, but I forgot what he looks like. I have to hang around in the kitchen over there and let him come to me."

Yun Xuemei bounced off the bed again, startling Qiao Yun: "What's wrong?"

She was a little nervous: "You...you want to recognize your grandfather's family? Then I..."

"Don't worry! I will always be your daughter!" Qiao Yun laughed.

Xue Mei Niang is actually worried about gains and losses, which shows that she is quite important in her heart.

She never hides anything from Yun Xuemei, Qiao Yun explained: "Although my mother is dead, the dowry she left behind is worth at least yuan..."

Yun Xuemei suddenly realized: "You want to get the dowry back! It is written in the law that a wife's dowry should be inherited by her children, and you are her only child. The money should be inherited by you in terms of emotion and reason."

Qiao Yun nodded.

"Then I won't delay you, you go!"

That's the way it is said, but it's not good for her to go for no reason, there must be an excuse!Could it be that she is going to walk over and tell the shopkeeper that I am here to ask for the % of the shares you promised yesterday...

Qiao Yun decided to go shopping and see what good things are sold in the market. If there are fresh agricultural products, buy some in order to discuss cooking skills!
The crowd is bustling, with bamboo baskets of various colors, wine jars and sauce jars exuding acrid smell, the sound of bargaining at the stalls, and the shouting and selling at the food stalls...

Qiao Yun's eyes were hot, and she was a little worried about meeting Mrs. Lu and the others.

"Selling masks—the Nuo face made by myself—this lady, buy a mask for your child to wear?"

"Mom, I want that tiger mask!"

Lucky has never been far away from Qiao Yun. She was still worried about what she would do if Lu was recognized when she went out for a stroll, but now she ran into a small stall selling masks.

Taking advantage of the crowd, Qiao Yun looked at the mask stand.There are majestic masks of the twelve gods and beasts, animal masks such as cats, dogs, tigers, and foxes, as well as beauty masks, Kunlun slave masks...most of them are made of bark paste or wood.

There are quite a few children on the street wearing masks. The children are lively and active, and the adults are so focused on the market that they have no time to coax the children. Buy them a mask to wear, and they can chat with themselves for a long time without crying. up.

Qiao Yun stood in the alley with her back to the crowd and took out a beckoning cat mask that covered the upper half of her face from the game and put it on for herself, before she boldly squeezed through the crowd.

There are a lot fewer stalls today than usual.In the three seasons of spring, summer and autumn, there will be many more stalls selling vegetables and fruits in the market. Now it is the time when winter and spring are handing over. There are no vegetables growing in the fields, and there are no fruits on the trees. Many vegetable farmers have not come. .The stalls on the street next to the Huihe River have changed into selling pickles, dried vegetables, and dried fish.

There was a fish stall in front of him, the owner of the stall was dressed as a fisherman, and there were several shallow wooden trays on a small cart filled with ice chips.Many people gathered at his booth, which attracted Qiao Yun's attention, and she involuntarily squeezed past him.

Qiao Yun was not surprised by the pots of ice crumbs. The ice-making technology was quite developed in the Tang Dynasty. Big counties like Quwo County naturally had ice cellars. Besides, it’s not summer now, so it’s a good idea to buy ice in this cold weather. cheap.

However, she was immediately disappointed when she squeezed into the booth.

The fish lying on the ice chips are thin and small, the crucian carp is only a little long, and the carp is not fat at all!
Just as she was about to leave, the stall owner started yelling.

"Selling fresh fish! The fish raised in our own fish pond! It's cheaper for three yuan a piece, and three for ten yuan! There is no such shop after this village!"

Qiao Yun was delighted when she heard it.

But all the people who came to the market were farmers who could not read a single word. When everyone heard this, they didn't think much about it, as if they really thought it was so cheap, and they all went out to buy fish.

Qiao Yun rolled up her sleeves and said curiously: "Three Wen for one, so I should buy three for nine Wen, right?"

The stall owner's face changed: "Three fish cost ten Wen, which is already very cheap! I also need capital to raise fish!"

Qiao Yun didn't intend to worry too much, she looked at the fish and said, "It's all right. It's just that boss, your fish is a little too small! I want to buy two and go back to steam it. You should stew it in soup at most. Is there a bigger one?"

Seeing that she didn't seem to be looking for trouble, the stall owner heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, and said, "The fish raised in the pond at home usually feed some wheat husks at most, they can't eat as much as the fish in the river!"

Qiao Yun: ...

This is the first time I heard that artificially farmed fish are not as big as the wild fish in the river...

Qiao Yun just asked casually, and didn't plan to buy it.There are plenty of fresh and fat fish in her game ponds, and she just came to join in the fun.

However, something went wrong with her question.

There was a woman at the stall who came with her son. Her child was studying with an old scholar in the village. The scholar said that eating more fish can replenish the brain. Seeing that his child’s academic performance has always been good, She brought her children to the market.

A child of seven or eight years old, exactly the age of Tong Yan Wuji, fell into deep thought after hearing Qiao Yun's words just now.

He tugged on his mother's sleeve, and because of the noisy surroundings, he was afraid that his mother would not hear him, so he asked in a clear and clear voice: "Mother, the teacher taught us the nine-nine multiplication table, two three is six, three three is six, and three is three." Nine, why does this uncle say that three is three is ten? Did Mr. Xiucai teach it wrong?"

There was a dead silence at the fish stall...
