Chapter 17 Buying and Selling

There must be a turtledove in this bowl, Zhao's eyes are sore, she always loves to cry.

I cry when I'm sad, and I cry when I'm happy.

Su Sanmei responded in the outer room: "Mother, I have meat to eat, so I won't come."

Su Sanlang smiled and said: "Hurry up, my daughter loves you so much, I'll fix the trap tomorrow, and I'll catch it in the future. Every time we catch it, we'll eat a little."

Mrs. Zhao looked at Su Sanlang and said softly, "Daddy, then you can eat too."

Mrs. Zhao took a piece of turtledove meat and fed it to Su Sanlang, watching Su Sanlang retreat, she said, "Daddy, if you don't eat it, then I won't eat it either."

Mrs. Zhao knew that Su Sanlang shared all the meat with her and the child, and he himself was reluctant to take a sip even if it was soup.

And how could she be willing, they are a family.

Seeing Zhao's firmness, Su Sanlang had no choice but to eat that piece of meat.

The turtledove meat is really fragrant, and the bones are soft after being stewed for a long time.

After dinner, the family washed up and went to bed.

Early the next day, Su Sanlang got up to cook, and he called Su Sanmei to help.

When it was done, Su Sanmei went back to sleep.

When Su Sanlang entered the room, Mrs. Zhao was awake, as if she knew he was going out, and said in a warm voice, "Father, I don't know how to sell things, but I heard my sister-in-law and sister-in-law say before that buying and selling requires shopping around." What, try walking a few more places."

Winter is coming, and the weather will get colder and colder. Mrs. Zhao is only looking forward to selling more money.

Su Sanlang was also a little apprehensive, but he smiled and said to Mrs. Zhao: "Don't worry, baby girl, I know what to do. I'll go right away. You are at home. If you have anything to do, call Sanmei and Brother Chongerhua." Son, they are all obedient."

Zhao nodded.

Su Sanlang didn't want to make Mrs. Zhao worry too much, so he didn't delay, put the living things on the bottom, put more than ten catties of chestnuts on top, and went out with his back.

Mrs. Zhao watched Su Sanlang go out, sighed softly, and prayed silently in her heart, praying that God would take care of their family.

Su Xiaolu yawned, and said silently in her heart: Send good luck to Daddy.

When Su Sanlang left the village with a basket on his back, his genius was dim, and the villagers hadn't woken up yet. He looked back at the direction of his home, and there were many emotions in his eyes.

But with just one glance, he walked forward resolutely. The town closest to the village was called Yangjiao Town. This time, Su Sanlang was going to sell game and wild chestnuts in Yangjiao Town.

It takes an hour to walk from the village to the town, and Su Sanlang didn't know until he entered the town that he had to pay a penny to enter.

Those who don't have money can pay with goods or credit. There is a big river outside Yangjiao Town, and there is only one way to get in and out of the town. If you want to escape the toll, you have to go over mountains and mountains.

Over the mountains and ridges, poisonous insects and snakes are encountered. If one is bitten, one's life will be lost, so the officers and soldiers guarding the city are not worried about who will pay for the escape.

When we arrived at Su Sanlang, Su Sanlang imitated the tone of others and said: "My lord, I came from the countryside to sell some wild goods in the mountains. I don't have any money now. Can you remember it first? When I sell these, I will make up for them when I come out." .”

The officer and soldier guarding the city was a middle-aged man. He looked at Su Sanlang and was not embarrassed. He asked flatly, "What are you selling?"

Su Sanlang answered honestly: "Wild chestnuts, and two pheasants."

"Okay, just press your fingerprint here and go in."

The officers and soldiers brought the paper to Su Sanlang. Su Sanlang obediently pressed his fingerprints and went into the city with a basket on his back.

There are several streets in the city, and roadside vendors yelled words like "come and eat noodles, delicious big meat buns" to the people passing by.

Su Sanlang was carrying a basket on his back, looked left and right, but he didn't step forward to ask, but decided to take a walk first.

After a lap, he probably knew it in his heart.

Like him, there are not many people who come from the countryside to sell things, and they all gather in one street. Along the way, they can see pheasants, rabbits and wild fruits.

Many well-dressed women walked by with baskets on their arms, and when they saw something they liked, they would ask the price.

Su Sanlang looked around, and most of the hunters paid 20 cents a catty for pheasants and hares. Everyone's prices were similar, and Su Sanlang knew it well.

He took out the chestnuts, wrung out the pheasant and the hare, and was about to sit there and wait for someone to ask.

At this time, a person came trotting from a distance. Su Sanlang didn't know him, but the people beside him had already stood up with their hares and pheasants, and they all smiled and said, "Sun Butler, look at my pheasant. The ones caught, the skins are not broken."

"Sun Butler, look at my wild rabbit, it's very plump, and its fur is also healthy."

Everyone gathered around Steward Sun, carrying their prey and smiling.

And the person who introduced the wild fruit came forward and handed Steward Sun a peach, and flatteringly said, "Butler Sun, please try it, the wild peaches in the mountains are so sweet."

Steward Sun covered his nose with his hands and waved, glanced his eyes and said: "Get out of the way, I stained my clothes, but I have to pay for it."

Everyone took a step back, but they still looked at Butler Sun hopefully.

Su Sanlang also came back to his senses, this is the housekeeper of a big family who came out to buy, but he couldn't squeeze in now, so he had to stand dryly.

Steward Sun didn't choose anyone's things, but walked forward, and the people around him had to get out of the way.

As soon as the people stepped aside, Steward Sun looked at Su Sanlang

The hare on the ground looked nonchalant. He narrowed his eyes, stepped forward and said, "I want all of you, so follow me behind your back."

Joy welled up in Su Sanlang's heart. He stammered nervously to sell wild chestnuts to Steward Sun, "Sun, Steward Sun, my wild chestnuts are also very fresh, they are dried just right, and they are sweet."

As he spoke, Su Sanlang opened the sack beside him so that Butler Sun could see the chestnuts inside.

Steward Sun looked over and said, "It's not bad. It's a rare item. Let's take it with you. It's good for the little master to try something new."

After buying Su Sanlang's and other people's, Steward Sun didn't look at them any more, and turned around and left after saying let's go.

Su Sanlang recited happily to keep up, even if he was looked at with jealous eyes, he didn't mind, he naturally understood that his appearance affected other people's luck.

But this was just an episode. Butler Sun left, and soon someone else came to ask.

Those who didn't sell their prey didn't care about being jealous of Su Sanlang, and immediately put on a smiling face and sent their prey to the front...

And Su Sanlang followed Steward Sun away from the busy city, and arrived at the back door of a big house. Looking at this good house with blue bricks and blue tiles, Su Sanlang sighed in his heart, followed Steward Sun into the back door, and Steward Sun said: "I Judging by your face, this is your first time in town."
