Splendid peasant girl

Chapter 45 Embroidery cannot be sold?

"Girl, it's not expensive anymore, it's all at this price!"

The uncle looked embarrassed.

Shen Qiqiao pursed her lips and said: "Uncle, you are too bullying. The price of this meat is more expensive than other places I have seen. The key point is that it is almost noon now!" It's not fresh!

"Oh, you girl..."

It was almost noon now, and the morning market was about to end. The meat was left over, so the uncle was eager to get rid of it, so he said: "Come on, you are a smart girl, let's do it, everything will be cheap for you. money!"

Shen Qiqiao was amused when she heard it, and said with a grin, "Okay! Give me ten catties each of lean meat and fat meat!"

"The little girl wants so much!" The uncle was so happy that he lost his shape, "Success! I'll pretend it for you!"

While the uncle was loading the meat, Shen Qiqiao caught a glimpse of some pork offal and big bones placed beside the chopping board, and quickly asked, "How do you sell these?"

The uncle was in a good mood and also liked Shen Qiqiao, so he said: "This is not worth much, if you want it, I will give it to you!"

"Thank you uncle!"

Shen Qiqiao was stunned, this uncle is really an honest man, he probably doesn't know how nourishing bone soup is, otherwise how could he give it away as free?

Hee hee, the ancients seem to be unable to compare with modern people in terms of eating.

Shen Qiqiao was naturally in a good mood when she took advantage of it. When she put away the twenty catties of meat, she didn't forget to say: "Uncle, you are such a nice person, next time I will come to you to buy meat again!"

"Hey, okay, girl, uncle, I just fell in love with your words! Remember to visit me next time!"

"sure!"

Shen Qiqiao said repeatedly, thinking about what delicious food to cook for her younger siblings after returning home?

Stewed Pork Ribs?
Chicken stew with mushrooms?Alas, I have to buy a chicken!

Fish-flavored shredded pork?

Braised pork?

Hahaha, they seem to be very good!

Shen Qiqiao put the meat into the basket, with happiness written all over her face, she bought ten meat buns along the way, ate two of them herself, and took the rest home for her younger siblings to eat.

She turned around and wanted to find a shop selling chickens and ducks. Unexpectedly, when she reached the entrance of the vegetable market, she saw a woman whose clothes were covered with patches squatting on the ground. Embroidery is shouting.

"Selling embroidery, the embroidery made by the farmer's family is very beautiful, would this little sister want to take a look?"

A little girl passed by and asked, "How much is it?"

"Twenty cents a piece."

"too expensive!"

The little girl shook her head, turned around and left.

"This is made of silk..." The woman wanted to say hello twice, but when she got up, she saw Shen Qiqiao walking over, with a surprised expression on her face: "Qi girl, why did you come here?"

Then when she saw Shen Qiqiao's back full of baskets, her face was even more surprised, and there was a little distress: "Qi girl, why did you buy so many things, even if you have money, you can't spend it like this! The days to come are still long! Especially for your family, you have to buy some cotton wool, or you will be frozen again next winter!"

This year's winter is a bit warm, and with the help of kind villagers, the three siblings survived the winter safely.

But after all, the villagers are living in poverty. If there is a bone-chilling winter, they will not be able to keep their own homes, and they will not be able to spare extra cotton wool for them.

This is why Aunt Chen said this.

Shen Qiqiao knew that Aunt Chen was concerned about her, and even though her words were not pleasant, they were all telling the truth.

She chuckled, didn't say anything, but looked at the pile of well-crafted embroidery on the ground: "Aunt Chen, can't the embroidery be sold?"
