Chapter 20 Going to the Market
"Don't worry, children. With the personality of the couple, the coffin should be ready tomorrow. You go back and take good care of your younger brothers and sisters. It's really hard for you two." Tan Fugui opened his mouth and wanted to say, if they really If you have no food, you can come to his house to eat first, but thinking of five mouths, you still fell silent.

"Understood the village chief, grandpa, I'll go back first, my younger brothers and sisters are still waiting for me." Tan Wenning said hastily.

"Go, good boy." Tan Fugui heaved a sigh of relief, and watched Tan Wenning disappear on the path of the village.

When Tan Wenning went back, all the children were asleep except Tan Wenyue.

"Sister, you're back, they didn't make things difficult for you, did they?" Tan Wenyue asked in a low voice.

"No, when I went, the village head happened to be there, and grandma wasn't at home, so grandpa was easier to talk to." Tan Wenning explained clearly in a few words.

"Yue'er, I'm going out to sell rabbits for some rice. You stay at home and look after your younger siblings, you know." Tan Wenning instructed softly.

"Well, sister, you go, I will take good care of my younger siblings." Tan Wenyue nodded.

It was only then that Tan Wenning went out with a basket on her back. Fortunately, it was noon and almost no one came out, so Tan Wenning didn't meet anyone along the way.

Before she went to the market, she went up the mountain first. After all, she was going to the market. It would be good to buy more things to exchange for money, and she would feel at ease with more money.

Tan Wenning stepped forward again. This time, she was going to see if there were any medicinal materials that could be dug up and sold. Although she did not study medicine, there was an old Chinese doctor in her family, and he always liked to play with his in the yard. Medicinal materials, and I also like to explain to her what are the uses of them. Over time, she also understands some pharmacology.

If she died in modern times, only the old man would be sad. Others would like her to die so that they could seize her property, but they would never have thought that she would donate all her property to the country.

Tan Wenning was thinking about this, but she had already walked up the mountain. She had been searching in the woods for a while, thinking that the medicinal materials were not so easy to find, but unexpectedly, she discovered that there was an extremely hidden place not far away that actually grew This Polygonum multiflorum.

Tan Wenning ran over excitedly, dug out the Polygonum multiflorum in two or three strokes, and put it lightly in her back basket. She wanted to try her luck, but she didn't expect such good luck.

Then she found a few honeysuckle and pinellia not far away, and she was very happy. If she bought some of these, it should be enough to buy some household items. She had to buy another piece of cloth and a quilt to sleep comfortably.

Tan Wenning dug some wild vegetables to cover it, and then went down the mountain to the market. She had to hurry up, or she wouldn't be back in time at night.

Because it was already afternoon, most of the villagers had gone to the fields, and no one went to the market, so Tan Wenning didn't meet many people along the way.

Some of them were strangers from neighboring villages. Although it was very close, she had to walk for nearly half an hour to reach the market. At this time, she missed modern cars very much. She owns dozens of special vehicles. Alas, this ancient times is too inconvenient.

When she came to the market, there were not many people there. After all, at this time, many people had to rush home to cook.

Tan Wenning first went to the restaurant, planning to buy the rabbit. This rabbit is very fat, and Tan Wenning just picked it up this morning, and it is still fresh.

Tan Wenning first went to the largest restaurant in the town, but she had to wait for a long time before someone received her. It was nothing more than looking down on her because of her tattered clothes. I didn't expect that in such a big restaurant, the layout of Xiaoer would be so Low.

"Girl, what's the matter? If you have nothing to do, leave quickly, don't disturb our business." Xiaoer said impatiently.

Tan Wenning frowned when she heard Xiaoer's words, but she didn't turn around and leave. After all, she still had to buy money to buy some necessities to go back.

"I want to sell a rabbit, how much do you think it's worth?" Tan Wenning lifted the hare out of the basket as he spoke.

When Xiao Er saw the hare, his expression lit up, but he quickly covered it up.

"This rabbit's hair is so messy, it's only a tael of silver." Xiao Er pretended to think for a moment.

"Then I won't buy it." Without further ado, Tan Wenning carried the rabbit and walked out the door.

"Girl, don't leave in a hurry, you are pitiful, how about the one or two half silver?" Seeing that the person was leaving, Xiao Er hurriedly said.

Without any hesitation, Tan Wenning strode out directly. This little girl was obviously looking at her shabby clothes, and wanted to deceive her without seeing the world. It was obvious that she wanted to get a kickback. This hare is worth five taels anyway. Money, he actually thought about it and sent her away.

Tan Wen Ning left without turning her head. Seeing that she refused to turn her head, Xiaoer said angrily: "Bah, a poor ghost, I have the nerve to pretend to be innocent. I don't think there are any other restaurants besides our restaurant. Who will accept you as a broken rabbit."

Tan Wenning saw that the restaurant was not sold, so she thought about selling the medicinal materials first, and then went to find out if there was another restaurant.

Tan Wenning's purchase of medicinal materials went smoothly, and the clerk in the pharmacy did not discriminate against her because of her tattered clothes.

She sold the medicinal materials for a total of five taels of silver, and it would not be a problem to buy some rice for clothing and go back.

She sold the medicinal materials and came out. She put the money safely in her arms, and then she inquired about the restaurant. It turned out that there was another restaurant in this town called Shili Piaoxiang. It was just because there were no new dishes, so His fame gradually declined, and he was overtaken by Man Xianghou, who came from behind.

Tan Wenning was going to try his luck at this restaurant, but the result was unexpected. This restaurant was indeed very sparsely populated, and now there was almost no one there. Compared to Man Xianglou, it was indeed much worse.

"Girl, do you want to eat? Come inside!" A little second saw Tan Wenning looking at the door out of the corner of his eyes, and immediately went to invite her politely.

"No need, I'm here to sell wild game. I wonder if your restaurant accepts it?" Tan Wenning asked straight to the point.

After all, she still has a lot of things to do, so she has to go back before dark.

"Girl, I have to ask the shopkeeper about this. After all, the business is not good now, and I can't make the decision." Xiaoer looked at Tan Wenning apologetically.

If it was before, Shili Piaoxiang might have accepted it without hesitation.But now the business is not good, only a few old customers come here to eat occasionally, if he collects game, he is afraid that he will not be able to sell it.

"Okay, but hurry up, I have other things to do." Tan Wenning said hastily.

"Okay, girl, wait a moment." Saying that, Xiaoer hurriedly ran in.

Soon Xiao Er came out, followed by a tall and thin middle-aged man.

"What game are you buying, Miss?" The person who came was Dong Qiukui, the shopkeeper of Ten Miles of Fragrance.
