Chapter 15 The Market

"Sir, when did you come out?"

Lu Jin walked to her side and cast a light glance at her: "Why were you nervous just now?"

An Shuyao laughed: "Who is nervous? I'm sowing seeds."

At this moment, Lu Jin's eyes fell on her fair fingertips, An Shuyao couldn't help becoming more nervous, and before she could say anything, Aunt Lin's voice sounded outside the door.

"Yao girl, are you home?"

An Shuyao immediately ran off with oil on the soles of her feet: "At home, at home."

Aunt Lin came to ask An Shuyao if she wanted to go to the market.

In Rock Village and the surrounding villages, large and small, there is a market every five days, which is organized by the surrounding villages, to bring some of their own vegetables, livestock to sell in the market, and local specialties from the farm. .

An Shuyao became interested as soon as she heard it.

Aunt Lin continued: "The place for the market is at the Dabazi River. The most famous thing there is the Temple of the Queen Mother. The surrounding villagers like to go there to pray for safety, so the place for the market is around the Temple of the Queen Mother."

An Shuyao has been to Taolin County since she came here, and it was the first time she heard about going to the market, she immediately said: "Aunt Lin, wait for me, I'll go get a basket."

An Shuyao took the basket, filled it with a white-flour pancake, and explained to Lu Jin: "Master, I went to Dabazi River with Aunt Lin, and you remember to drink the medicine. If I don't come back at noon, the stove is still warm." Porridge, you will eat some when the time comes, and I will make something delicious for you when I come back in the afternoon."

After she finished speaking, she left with Aunt Lin.

Lu Jin went to the small stove, poured the medicine and drank it in one gulp, then went to the kitchen to get the sickle, carried the basket on his back, closed the courtyard door, and headed towards Yan'an Mountain.

……

Dabazi River is not far from Rock Village, and it only takes about ten minutes to walk. Almost all the villagers in Rock Village have gone there.

On the way there, An Shuyao met Aunt Shi and Shi Huanhuan. Shi Huanhuan even dressed up specially today, wearing rose red beaded flowers on her hair. There are many colors.

Shi Huanhuan looked behind An Shuyao, and found that Lu Jin hadn't come, she bit her lip slightly, then squeezed to An Shuyao's side, took her arm, and said with a smile: "Sister An, you go alone The market? Isn't brother Lu going?"

An Shuyao glanced at Shi Huanhuan, when did Shi Huanhuan become so close to her?An Shuyao was not used to being so close to her.

So he smiled and said: "My husband is not in good health, let him come out after he recuperates for a while and he is better."

Shi Huanhuan was a little disappointed when she heard this, she let go of An Shuyao and went to Aunt Shi's side.

An Shuyao didn't pay attention to her, her current interest was all in the market, and she soon arrived at Dabazi River, where it was indeed as lively as Aunt Lin said, with shouts everywhere.

Almost all the surrounding villages have come, and most of the roadsides are paved with cloth, and then put all the things to be sold on it.

There are woven bamboo products, simple embroidered handkerchiefs, vegetables, eggs, knives... everything.

It looks colorful and dazzling.

Aunt Lin came here mainly to buy some meat. She pulled An Shuyao and said, "The butcher in the village has been sent home recently. His family sells meat in this village. He usually goes to the county to sell meat. It should be in this market today, do you want to buy some?"

An Shuyao nodded when she heard the words, it happened that the meat at home had already been eaten, and she had to buy some big bones to cook soup.

Many people came and went in front of Tu Ergou's stall, An Shuyao got closer to see what kind of person Tu Ergou was.

He is a middle-aged man who looks to be in his thirties. He is very fat, his eyes and nose are all crowded together, his face is greasy, and when he smiles, he shows a mouthful of big yellow teeth, which is really not neat.

Seeing someone coming, Tu Ergou smiled and said, "Sister Lin, what do you want to buy?"

Immediately, his gaze moved to An Shuyao's face, and he was stunned with just one glance.

Absolutely, really absolutely.

He has been around Taolin County for so long, and he has never seen such a beautiful person. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a fairy.

"Give me two catties of fat meat and one catty of lean meat. You'll have to pay less. I often buy from you."

Hearing Aunt Lin's voice, Tu Ergou came back to his senses, and took his eyes off An Shuyao's body.

His smile was even brighter now, and he looked at An Shuyao intentionally or unintentionally while cutting the meat and asked, "Hey, why didn't I know there is such a pretty little lady around our village?"

Aunt Lin glanced at An Shuyao: "This is Miss Lu, who is new to the village. You were still in prison when she came, so it's normal if you don't know her."

When Tu Ergou heard this, he felt a little regretful: "There is a husband."

Aunt Lin glanced at him: "She is very handsome."

Tu Ergou's gaze made An Shuyao feel very sticky, and she realized when she heard the words Aunt Lin's jail, wasn't this the butcher they discussed that day and killed several daughter-in-laws?
An Shuyao instantly lost interest in this kind of person. Aunt Lin asked her if she wanted to buy meat, but An Shuyao shook her head, expressing that she did not want to buy it.

Aunt Lin just thought that she didn't have much money, and immediately took An Shuyao and left here. Tu Ergou looked at An Shuyao's back wistfully.

Tsk, what a stunner.

It's a pity that it has a master.

After getting a little further away, An Shuyao asked a question: "Aunt Lin, didn't you say that his character was not good? Why do you buy so many meat from him?"

Speaking of this, Aunt Lin sighed: "That's right, Tu Ergou's character is really not good, this person is very bad, not honest on the surface, but who made him sell meat cheaper than other places? Even if they don’t like him, no one will be troubled by money, so if they can save some money, it’s going to be winter soon, so you must stock up on these foods.”

"By the way, your thatched thatched house needs to be repaired when you have time. The winter in Anzhou is very cold, and the snow can fall very thick. I think that house may not be able to survive this winter."

An Shuyao took Aunt Lin's words to heart, and it was indeed as she said, that house is not suitable for long-term living, but to build a better one, not only land but also money is needed.

The money in her hand is not enough to repair a good house, and Lu Jin's medicine money is also added.

She sighed slightly in her heart, the money is still not enough.

Finally, Aunt Lin took her to the legendary Queen Mother Temple, which is a place similar to a shrine.

There is a stone statue of the Queen Mother standing inside, and there are incense sticks in front of it. Occasionally, people kneel down and come out from the inside.

It seems that most of them are seeking marriage and children.

An Shuyao bought some eggs and some bamboo products at the market. There is no cotton for sale here, so it seems that she still has to go to the county to buy it.

Then he passed by a stall selling hairpins, from which he chose a wooden hairpin that looked good in color and exquisitely carved, and bought it for Lu Jin to use for pulling his hair.
