After being forced to marry a butcher

Chapter 15

  It was beyond Liu Yu's expectation that there were quite a lot of people in this big fair. They were placed from the official road outside the village to the central road of the village, and there were sellers of vegetables, grain, cloth, and food. Poultry, etc., are separate and orderly.

"That's right, this official road is the only way out of the city. I heard that there are people from the city who come here specially to go to the market!"

Yangzhuang is a big village, and the rent for this big collection belongs to their village, so the village People spontaneously manage this market very well. The most obvious thing is that someone picks up the garbage after you throw it in front of you and puts it away. Over time, this big collection has become famous far and wide.

Their little thing occupies a small area, and the two companies combined into one booth, and they only paid two pennies.

Liu Guiying looked at the stalls, Cong Chunhua and Mrs. Guan went to the poultry market to see if there were any chickens for sale, Li Lerong took the willow fish for a stroll, and went straight to Chishi Street.

Li Lerong stopped and sniffed, "It smells so good!"

Liu Yu couldn't help laughing like a greedy cat.

There are sellers of shazi, sesame seed cakes, pan-fried buns, sugar cakes, fried juniper, etc., but most of them are cheap things. Although they are not very delicate, they are cheap and large. Bring your children to the market Who is not willing to pay this money.

Li Lerong bought a sugar cake and shared it between the two of them. Liu Yu only tasted a little bit, but the brown sugar was wrapped in the bread, it was really no coincidence.

Liu Yu gradually came up with ideas as he ate, but he had to wait for some money to be saved.

When the two of them went back, Liu Guiying had already opened the store, and several women gathered around to bargain, "Your chestnuts are too small, can you sell them for three yuan a catty?" Chestnuts are rare in the market or dry goods store

. Ten cents a catty, even if the one picked up on the mountain is small, it won't be sold at this price.

Liu Guiying does not sell.

The women continued to talk, but the hands of peeling the chestnuts did not stop.

Li Lerong was so angry that he ran over and snatched it, "Don't buy it, don't eat it, just taste one is enough!"

His brothers carried it down from the mountain so hard, and because he could sell it for money, he was not willing to eat a few.

The women were displeased, and one of them muttered, "Where did you come from, you are so powerful."

Now Liu Guiying was displeased, "What's the matter? Look at the shells under your feet, I don't even have the nerve to say You!"

The woman wanted to retort again, but was stopped by a young man from Yangzhuang who maintained the order of the street, "What are you doing? We don't like to quarrel in Yangzhuangji." Everyone looked at

this, and the woman was arrested by her colleagues. people pulled away.

The young man grinned, and said to Liu Guiying, "Auntie, I'm afraid we won't get a good price for the chestnuts sold in Yangzhuangji, so I'll keep them and sell them on the day of the Autumn Society!" He usually knows something about this street

. Quotes.

It's not just to save energy, it's too far to carry it to the county seat. But after such a commotion, Liu Guiying didn't want to sell it here, but it was a pity to lose the rent of two cents.

Li Lerong stomped his feet angrily.

The young man glanced at him, blushed and walked away.

Liu Yu said: "Auntie, what he said is reasonable."

"That's all." Liu Guiying weighed the copper plate in his hand to show Liu Yu and Li Lerong, and said with a smile: "The rent of two cents is still earned. "

Just seven cents a catty, sold three catties of chestnuts.

At this time, Mrs. Guan and Cong Chunhua came back, each carrying a basket with five chicks in each, chirping, fluffy, and looking alive.

Liu Yu pursed his lips and smiled, Li Lerong asked inexplicably: "Brother Liu Yu, what are you laughing at?"

Liu Yu nodded his clothes.

Li Lerong came to his senses, jumped very high, hugged Mrs. Guan and complained, "Brother Liuyu, bad!"

Everyone laughed.

If you don't sell chestnuts and walnuts, you will go home early.

When the chicks were vulnerable, Cong Chunhua went home and found a deeper and larger basket, and stuffed them with thick straw so that they could bask in the sun and keep out the wind on the porch.

After the old lady Guan finished feeding the chickens, she went to hunt pig grass to feed the piglets.

Cong Chunhua and Willow Yu planted onions, garlic, coriander and leeks in the few rows of vegetable fields left by Li Qingshan in the backyard, all of which will be covered with grain grass to survive the winter.

Can be regarded as leisure, Liu Yu can do needlework.

There are still ten days before the autumn society fair. The two feet of silk cloth he pulls can be used to make four handkerchiefs, and the fabric cut from cotton clothes for him can also be used to make purses and sachets. Do a lot.

There are a lot of people visiting the Autumn Society Fair, and when the time comes to sell it on the street, it will definitely be sold.

Willow fish was embroidering flowers, and the leisurely Li Lerong came to him to play again.

Liuyu embroidered a red plum this time, and the branches were already embroidered yesterday.

After changing the silk cloth, Liu Yu embroidered handkerchiefs at a much faster speed, Li Lerong looked at it for a while, and saw a red plum lightly falling on the silk cloth, he said in amazement: "Brother Liu Yu, your embroiderer is so good!" good?"

He was busy with millet work a while ago, and he had never seen the two handkerchiefs embroidered by Liu Yu.

Liu Yu smiled and asked him: "Do you want to learn? I'll teach you." It's

good to be able to embroider beautiful handkerchiefs by yourself, but...

Li Lerong shook his head violently, "Forget it! I hate needlework the most Let me sit there for an hour, it is better to let me hoe two acres of land!"

He still doesn't know how to sew clothes!

Liu Yu paused, then smiled again.

"But." Li Lerong moved the stool towards Liuyu, and said coquettishly: "Brother Liuyu, you embroider so beautifully, when you finish your work, can you help me embroider a handkerchief?" Li Lerong

added Said: "I have cloth!"

"Okay." Liu Yu asked him: "What kind of pattern do you want?"

Li Lerong was now tangled, "Embroidering autumn chrysanthemums in autumn is suitable for the occasion, but I think you embroidered red The plum blossoms are also very pretty. But the begonia flower veils that my cousin Miao Miao showed me last time are also pretty..."

Liu Yu gradually became fascinated. Little fat fish.

...

The other people in the village have finished picking up the millet one after another, and the village head began to weigh the grain from house to house to calculate the tax.

Uncle Li didn't ask Li Qingshan and the others to come back, he had to have credibility, and he promised to work for a few days. It was never too late to sell grain, so he first pulled the cart to pay the grain tax by himself.

As Li Lerong said, the village ancestral hall is really tight.

In the past two days, it is said that there have been several quarrels because of the competition for pounding rice.

Liu Yu occasionally followed Li Lerong to have a look.

Today, the Chen family finally paid the grain tax.

Mrs. He is very aggrieved these days, because of the fight with Li Qingshan's family last time, no one surnamed Li in the village likes to talk to his family members anymore.

The man in the family blamed him for being cold to him, and the daughter-in-law blamed He for having nothing to do because her man was beaten. Chen Sima was even more afraid that Li Qingshan would beat him up, so he only dared to go home late at night every day.

However, after selling the grain and getting money, all the daughter-in-laws and sons in the family, except for old Chen Tou, became courteous to her again.

She is fluttering, with the wind when she walks, and she likes to get together and talk about how much food the family has sold this year.

The village ancestral hall is a good place to go.

Mrs. He pounded rice yesterday, and today he came here to grind noodles again.

"My family sold it for more than a dozen silver!" His family's five men over the age of 15 were granted 50 acres of land, and they also planted a lot of cotton. They scraped their own rations all year round, but they were able to leave a lot of money.

But counting, the family will be separated in the future, and the situation of each family is actually similar to that of Li Qingshan's family, that is, there are more people, and the money is concentrated in He's hands, so it sounds like a lot.

The other aunts and aunts of the Li family in the village ancestral hall talked to each other, and no one cared about her.

Those with other surnames are also unhappy. Have you forgotten what it was like to be poor ten years ago when the son of the family didn't grow up?

This person who gets rich purely by growing crops is actually the few years when his son grows up but there are not many grandchildren.

The person who was only approached by Mrs. He said in a friendly voice, "Really? Your family is amazing."

Mrs. He said to himself.

Liu Yu also came with the washed corn, Li Lerong was with him, and kept asking him why he chose this time.

Liu Yu now knew quite a few people in the village, so he called them.

The aunts, aunts or sister-in-laws of the Li family seldom talk to him like this, but now they love to chat with him.

He pushed the stone mill and squinted at this, but Li Lerong stared back.

The He family was not angry, but he didn't dare to say anything here. The ancestors of the Li family were still worshiped in the ancestral hall!

However, she has other ideas.

He asked the eldest daughter-in-law to go home and bring some corn, and it didn't matter if she didn't wash it.

If she can eat more new rice, Mrs. Chen has nothing to do, so she hurried home to take it.

He talked to the people on the side again, deliberately telling Liu Yu the money he got at home.

Liu Yu pinched the gap, and poured the croton powder that had been prepared for a long time into the dustpan that Mrs. Chen had just sifted corn flour.

...

That night, more than half of the members of Chen's family, especially He's, had diarrhea.

Old Chen invited a doctor overnight.

The doctor diagnosed it as eating something unclean.

The unscoured corn bears the brunt!

The He family became the laughing stock of the village overnight, and everyone said that she was stealing chickens and losing money.
