Chapter 195 On the way back from town

Carrying two tall wooden barrels, Walnut walked into the vegetable shed, looked at Chuntao with a smile and said, "Sister, you packed the vegetables into two big wooden barrels, and after eating in a while, take the car to the town purchase."

Listening to Walnut's words, Chuntao squatted in the vegetable field, pulling up the vegetables and said, "Use this wood to pull them into the town. In such a cold day, can't the vegetables be frozen?"

Hearing his sister's question, Walnut looked at him with a smile and said, "It's okay, I'll take two quilts and cover it up later, so that I won't be frozen in the town."

The two sisters were talking and watching the work, and the time passed quickly. Just when the two sisters put the vegetables into the wooden bucket completely, grandma’s voice came from the yard. Listening to grandma shouting: "Walnuts, cherries, breakfast."

Hearing grandma's call, Walnut looked at her sister and said, "It's just that we are almost busy, let's go! Let's eat. After dinner, Erpeng and I will go to the town and sell these green vegetables. See Let's see if we can sell it for a good price."

After breakfast, Erpeng harnessed the car. Walnut helped him lift the vegetables out of the shed and put them on the car. At this moment, Chuntao took out a bed from the house and put it on the car. Looking at the walnuts, he said, "Use this to cover the vegetable bucket, so that you won't be afraid that the vegetables will freeze when you walk a long way."

Listening to her sister's words, Walnut looked at the quilt she handed over and said with a smile: "I see, Walnut put the quilt on the vegetable bucket, and then dared to leave the house with Erpeng in the car.

Walking out of the village, Walnut looked at Erpeng and said, "Let's hurry up and drive the ox cart. This winter is not as long as it is in summer. It's getting dark early now. Let's try to get back home before dark."

Hearing what Walnut said, Erpeng raised his whip, and the car sped up.Along the way, Walnut didn't keep sitting on the bullock cart, but walked for a while, sat for a while, and walked all the way to the town.

As soon as he walked into the town, Walnut looked at Erpeng and said, "Let's go to the stall that buys meat and see that the uncle who gave us meat can't get out of the stall. If he does, we will sell the vegetables to him He's fine."

As they said that, the two of them headed straight to the busiest market in the town. After a short time, the two of them came to the stall of the uncle who was buying meat.

The boss who bought the meat was busy. When he looked up, he saw Walnut and Erpeng. He laughed and looked at the two of them and said, "Girl, why did you get some good prey when you came today?"

Hearing what the meat buyer said, Walnut smiled, looked at him and said, "Uncle, we are not here to sell prey, but there are better things than prey. I don't know if you want it or not."

Hearing what Walnut said, the boss who bought the meat showed surprise on his face. He looked at her and asked, "Really? Then let me see. What surprises me more than prey."

As he spoke, he turned his head and said to a woman who was busy at the booth: "Daughter-in-law, please take care, I'll see what rare things this girl has brought."

While talking, he walked out of the booth and came to Walnut.

Walnut watched him walk up to her, smiled and said, "Come with me."

As soon as the words fell, Walnut led the meat buyer to the car led by Erpeng, jumped into the car, opened the wooden barrel covered by the quilt, took out a few small green vegetables, and handed them to the meat buyer. before.

The boss who bought the meat looked at the green vegetables in Walnut's hand, froze for a moment, rubbed his eyes, looked at Walnut and said, "Girl, you are really capable, where did you get these vegetables, you want to buy them?" Sell ​​it! I want it all."

Hearing what he said, Walnut laughed, jumped out of the car, came to him and said, "I planted this myself. If you want, we can cooperate for a long time. My family has a lot of vegetables! I'm afraid you won't be able to sell it."

The boss who bought the meat listened.With a smile on his face, he looked at him and said: "Girl, don't worry, I, Wang Erhu, buy meat in this town, everyone knows, everyone knows, how many vegetables like this do you have? Please send as many as you want. It's round."

Saying so, he walked back to his booth, took out the scale, put it on the ground, then walked to the ox cart led by Erpeng, stretched out his hand and tore off the quilt covering the wooden barrel, and moved the wooden barrel Get it down, put it on the scale, and weigh it.

After weighing the weight, the boss who bought the meat removed the skins of the two wooden barrels, then looked at the walnuts and said, "The vegetables in these two wooden barrels are 52 catties in total. Let's do this! I just started selling off-season vegetables this winter." , I don’t know how much a catty is, how about this! I’ll give you two taels of silver first, and you remember the catty. If the price I sell is higher, I’ll make it up for you. , I wonder if you can trust me, girl?"

Walnut listened to the meat buyer's words, his head was spinning quickly, and then looked at the meat buyer and said: "Okay, this matter is settled like this."

After the words fell, Walnut put away the money, glanced at the meat on the butcher shop, then took out twenty copper coins and said, "Cut some meat for me!"

The boss who bought the meat looked at the copper plate that Walnut handed over and said with a chuckle: "Then I will accept it first, and then walked into the shop and cut Walnut directly to about two catties of pork.

When Walnut saw the piece of pork handed to him, he quickly said embarrassedly: "Uncle, you have given too much, and if I do this again, I will be embarrassed to sell meat here."

Hearing what Walnut said, the boss who bought the meat chuckled and said, "Girl, we are related by blood, so let me take it for you! I don't care about that when I buy meat."

Walnut and Erpeng, after buying vegetables, put the bought meat on the ox cart, led the ox cart and left the town, and rushed home. It slowly darkened.

Erpeng held your rein, looked at Walnut and said, "It seems that we are in a hurry, it will be dark when we get home."

Hearing what he said, Walnut glanced at the road ahead and said: "Yes! It seems that the bullock cart is still accelerating, otherwise it will be dark for a while, and it will be even more difficult to go by then. "

While the two were talking, the cow that Erpeng was holding in his hand suddenly became agitated, struggling to break free from the rein in Erpeng's hand, as if about to run away.

Seeing this, Erpeng stopped hurriedly, clutching the rein in his hand vigorously.

Seeing this, Walnut frowned and said, "No, there is danger nearby."
