Li Tu had no choice but to stand up. He looked towards the village a few times, fearing that he would delay the time for the villagers to go to the market, so he got on the bullock cart and started on the road.

Bullock carts are not as bumpy and slow as horse-drawn carts.After walking for more than half an hour, Li Tu tied up the ox cart, squatted aside and smoked a cigarette, and went back together when everyone came back in the afternoon.

Zhou Zizi and Mu Chun found a nearby butcher's place to sell their own things, because they had to pay four Wen for each position, so they got together and saved two Wen.

"Yezi, how often do you come to the market?" Mu Chun put down his basket and pot and sat on the ground. "Are you earning a lot?" Seeing that Zhou Yezi's basket looks exquisite, it should be able to sell for a good price.

"It depends on luck. Taking Uncle Li's bullock cart costs four fen for a round trip, plus the land rent for four fen. If you sell all the things you bring, you can earn dozens of fen. Sometimes It’s also very strange that no one came up to ask at this market, how come you have to take it back, and even sell it cheap, and you won’t make much money.” Zhou Yezi said with a sigh, but if you don’t come to touch Luckily, earning dozens of pennies is out of the question.Therefore, people in the village often sell some of their own handicrafts to supplement their household expenses.

Mu Chun saw that there were more people in the market now, so he opened the lid of the jar and took out a fish and shouted loudly: "Look at it, fresh and plump live fish, cheap and delicious, including you The more you eat, the better your health will be!"

"This little girl has a sweet mouth." The woman in a maroon dress stood in front of her booth. "Is this really a live fish?" Live fish is relatively rare, and most markets sell dead fish, so few people buy it.

Mu Chun nodded quickly, "Auntie, look at the mouth of the fish, it's still breathing!" She lifted the fish in her hand so that the woman could see it clearly. "Buy some tofu and stew it with such a pot of fish soup, it's fresh."

"But this fishy smell is a bit strong..." The woman frowned. She rarely bought fish in the past, but it would be good to raise live fish for two days for the brothers and sisters at home to see fresh.

Mu Chun lamented that she dug up some ginger when she went up the mountain. She put the fish in the jar, turned around and stretched out a small piece of ginger from the back basket. "Auntie, when cooking fish, cut up a few slices of this thing and put it in, it will remove the fishy smell."

"Really?" The woman reached out and put a piece of ginger under her nose and smelled it, she couldn't describe the feeling.She still doesn't believe it.

"Well, you'll know when you go back and try it." Mu Chun said sincerely, "This fish is fresh. Auntie, look at all of them are very lively."

The woman lowered her head and looked into the jar a few times, feeling a little moved, "How much is a catty?"

Mu Chun also didn't know the price of this fish. The cheapest pork was 13 Wen a catty, so it was worthwhile for her to sell this fish for [-] Wen a catty. "Seven Wen, but if Auntie is the first customer, how about five Wen?"

The woman nodded and agreed, the usual price of dead fish is five cents, "Choose one for me then!"

Mu Chun looked at the liveliest thing in the jar and grabbed it directly, but the woman didn't have a basket to put it in. "Auntie, why don't you buy my sister's basket and hold it, this fish is not easy to hold."

Zhou Zizi glanced at Mu Chun gratefully when he heard Mu Chun's words, and hurriedly took out the largest basket from the ground. "Ten cents a piece, I'll help you choose the biggest one to hold your stuff."

The woman also happily agreed one by one, and waited for Mu Chun to weigh the fish from the butcher beside him.

"This fish is a total of two catties and two taels. I have a relationship with my aunt. I will give you the two taels. It will be 10 yuan in total." Mu Chun put the fish in the basket. Zhou Yezi's craftsmanship is really good. The bottom of the basket was flat and the fish lay quietly.

"Thank you, Mu Chun." Zhou Zizi smiled at her after collecting the ten cents, which was the fastest seller ever.

"There's no need to be so polite."

After Mu Chun finished speaking, she continued to yell at the crowd, and the stall was surrounded after a while, and she naturally sold the fish at seven Wen, and everyone gave a piece of wild ginger as well. "Sister, this fish has to be stewed slowly. Throw this sliced ​​fish in and there will be no unpleasant smell, and the rest will be umami."

After a while, all the fish she brought were sold out.Mu Chun counted a total of one hundred coins, she hurriedly put them into the money bag of the clothes, and carefully stuffed them into the back basket.

"Mu Chun, you sold out so quickly? I still have seven or eight baskets, and it's because you just sold fish and helped me sell a few, otherwise I wouldn't be able to sell any of them." Zhou Zizi said angrily. It's better than selling none at all.

Mu Chun didn't leave directly either, "I'll help you to sell, you need to call for a sale." She stood up with a basket in her hand. "Uncles, aunts, uncles and aunts, this big and delicate basket looks like a flat theater stage. Even older children won't panic when they lie down and sleep! It only costs 10 cents. Money, if you miss it, you will regret it!"

"Let me see!"

Mu Chun yelled for a while, and the baskets were quickly sold out. "You see Ye Zi clearly? It will be like this from now on."

Zhou Yezi held Mu Chun's hand, with tears in his eyes. "It's the first time I sold out the baskets so quickly. Last time I sold two baskets." As soon as the words fell, her tears fell. "This time I have to buy some meat and go back to nourish my father."

"I'll send you another fish later." The original owner felt pity for Zhou Yezi, his mother died of dystocia, and a big man never got married because he was afraid that his stepmother would treat Zhou Yezi badly.Mu Chun saw a steamed bun seller on the opposite side, and pulled Zhou Zizi forward.

"Vegetarian buns cost three cents each, and meat buns cost three cents each."

"Here are two meat buns!" Mu Chun took out a money bag from the basket and handed it to the other party, and handed the buns wrapped in paper to her hand. "Hurry up and eat." Mu Chun handed one to Zhou Yezi who was beside him. He probably didn't have time to eat when he got up early in the morning to go to the market.

"This meat bun..." Zhou Zizi grew up and had never eaten such a rare thing as a meat bun. Looking at Mu Chun handing it over, she said that it was fake if she didn't drool, but she still refused. Mu Chun also made money. not easy.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Mu Chun directly stuffed a bun into her mouth. "Eat quickly, don't be polite to me. But I still have some things to do, let's go shopping separately, see you at the bullock cart."

Zhou Zizi took the bun out of his mouth and ate it in small bites. "Okay, I'll go shopping too." The buns are really delicious, and she thinks it would be great if she can eat such a meat bun every day.
