"This kid is so stubborn!"
Seeing that she would not listen to Zhang Eryong's persuasion, Aunt Zhang left behind a sentence and left with a basket on her shoulders.
It's so easy to come to the city, she still has a lot of things to do, but she has no time to delay things for people who have nothing to do with her.
Shen Ruolan really wants to buy this wild goat. Her body is too weak and needs nourishment. When the wild goat gives birth, she will have goat milk to drink. Wild goat milk is far more nutritious than cow's milk, so it must be of great benefit to her body benefit.
Moreover, when the lamb is raised and fattened in the future, there will be delicious wild lamb to eat. Just thinking about it makes people drool!
It's just that she only has a little more than one or two taels of silver left in her hand. Zhang Eryong said that this sheep should be sold for at least one or two taels of money, which is not enough for her!
Looking at the fat wild sheep, and looking at the little money in her hand, Shen Ruolan felt a little regretful. If she had known that his wild sheep hadn't been sold, she would have bought less things, and she could buy cloth tubs and the like anytime. , but wild sheep with cubs are not encountered every day.
Hey, it's too late to say anything now, let's go buy rice first!
Shen Ruolan shook her head, turned around and went to find the rice seller.
Aunt Zhang said before that rice and white noodles cost three renminbi a catty, but when she went to buy them, she found out that the rice that Auntie said was the cheapest rice in the market, and there was some milled rice in it. The shells and fine sand that have not been picked out after the end are better sold for five renminbi, and the rice for five renminbi is much cleaner and whiter.
The best rice actually sells for six yuan a catty, which is equivalent to six yuan a catty in modern prices!
Shen Ruolan clicked her tongue secretly, it was too expensive, two catties of rice could almost buy a catty of meat.
However, considering that the six-cent rice is almost picked out one by one, it is big, beige and white, and there is no debris in it, which saves a lot of trouble when cooking, so she bought twenty catties of six I bought 120 jin of white rice for 1 penny, 20 jin of fine white noodles for 5 fen per catty, and 3 catties each of soybeans and mung beans. In this way, the flowers flowed out like flowing water.
However, she didn't regret it, nor did she feel distressed. Counting it, she has lived two lifetimes, and she didn’t understand this truth until the day she died. Life is short and life is not easy, and no one knows which will come tomorrow or an accident, so she should live in style and eat whatever she wants , Whatever you want to buy, don’t treat yourself badly. In her previous life, she lived frugally for seven or eight years. She just saved a down payment. The money I saved in my stomach turned into those few pieces of waste paper in the space in the end, it was useless.
So, she said that she will not save money in this life. Of course, if she has too much money, she can save it when she can't spend it, but she will never save money by saving money like in her previous life. That would be too sorry for herself. !
Thinking of this, she casually bought some big white steamed buns and meat buns, put them in a basket like rice noodles, covered them with a sheet of tarpaulin, and then secretly put them back into the space, before walking back slowly.
When I passed by Zhang Eryong's stall, I saw him still squatting there with his hands hugging his knees and his head bowed. The sheep under his feet were still unsold.
This guy is obviously not good for business, he doesn't know how to yell when he squats there, and he doesn't take the initiative to solicit customers. He raised his head and stared at the owner of those feet, the corners of his lips parted, but he didn't speak, as if he was embarrassed to say something to attract customers.
And when those feet left, a trace of disappointment would appear on his face, and then he would hang his head here and continue to be dejected.
After repeating this several times, the vendors around him have made several sales orders, but his wild sheep still haven't been sold.
Shen Ruolan looked at the westward sun, and at the reduced number of people in the market, guessing that he had no hope today.
I wanted to go away and ignore his business, but I thought that if he hadn't been kind enough to give her three Wen in the morning, she would still be squatting in the mountain village eating sweet potatoes and cabbage; moreover, she really wanted the wild sheep, so she thought about it After a while, she walked over.
Zhang Eryong squatted on the ground, buried his head, mechanically picked the patch on his knee with both hands, suddenly a pair of small shoes that were so rotten that they had to be tied up with straw rope appeared in front of him.
He raised his head, and suddenly saw the owner of the shoes, the frighteningly thin girl from the Shen family in the morning.
"You, what's the matter?"
The girl from the Shen family was already standing in front of him, she didn't intend to leave yet, obviously she didn't just pass by, but came here specifically to find him.
Shen Ruolan smiled slightly, and stretched out her hand: "Brother Zhang, I'll pay back your three pennies."
Zhang Eryong looked at the three copper coins, and took them without refusing.
He only had these three copper coins with him, and he originally planned to buy a few steamed buns to satisfy his hunger. After paying the fare for the girl from the Shen family, he didn't even have any money for lunch, and he is still hungry.
After paying back the money, Shen Ruolan had no intention of leaving. She squatted down, stroked the wild sheep on the ground, and asked, "Brother Zhang, is the sheep sale going well?"
Is not this nonsensical? The sheep are here, obviously they haven't been sold, but maybe they didn't sell well!
"Well, it's not going well."
Zhang Eryong stared at the patch on his knee, and replied in frustration.
From noon to here, there are quite a few people who have taken a fancy to his sheep, but the price is not too low, and even if they are matched, they can't afford it. It's time to go back. It seems that he came here for nothing today. .
Shen Ruolan saw his frustration, and tentatively said: "Brother Zhang, how much do you plan to sell this sheep for? If the price is reasonable, I can buy it."
Zhang Eryong was startled, and looked at her with wide eyes: "What? You?"
Shen Ruolan coughed: "Yes, I, I want to buy your sheep, but I don't have that much money right now, so I can only pay you 800 Wen first, and the rest will be given to you in ten days. "
In order to prove her sincerity, she took out a few broken pieces of silver and handed them to Zhang Eryong, "Hey, these pieces of silver add up to a weight of 8 cents, so it's my deposit for you, okay?"
Seeing Zhang Eryong staring at her in a daze, not saying a word and not accepting the money, Shen Ruolan thought he didn't believe her, so she said sincerely: "If you don't believe me, you can go to Jiaqing Bank to measure the money, it will never be less In addition, you can put the sheep in your house first, and then go to your house to take them when I have collected enough money."
"Uh, no need."
Zhang Eryong waved his hands again and again, the reason why he kept staring at her without answering was not because he didn't believe her, nor because he didn't want to sell to her, but because he was surprised.
When she went there in the morning, she was still a poor little girl who couldn't even pay five Wen for the fare. How could she earn eight hundred Wen after all this time? This is incredible
