One hundred and fifty-eight chapters call

Because it was not a market day, there were not many people buying meat. Butcher Zhang cuts meat for Lian Man'er while chatting with Lian Man'er. The full text was read.

"I don't know what happened. There have been many people coming and going in the town these two days. I think the accent is not our Gada..."

After a while, another good thing came over and joined the conversation.

"You don't know Lao Zhang. These people all come from the capital city, and some come from the capital city. Didn't you see that there are people on the official side?"

"The people from the capital city, why are we here doing here?" Lian Man'er asked.

"Don't show that you can." Butcher Zhang gave a blank look at the person who came over, "You know Aunt Li on the back street. She often comes to me to buy meat. She has a nephew who works as a worker in the county government office, and she told me..."

When Butcher Zhang said this, he glanced around, as if what he was about to say was very important, as if he was afraid that irrelevant people would hear his words.

"Aunt Li Er said that these people were all going to Xiao Shentun for the sake of the Shen family."

No wonder I saw a lot of people on the way. What could the Shen family do, except that Queen Chen just passed away?

"What the hell are they here for?" Lian Man'er asked again.

"This..." Butcher Zhang didn't say it directly, and didn't know whether he didn't know or deliberately kept it a secret.

"Old Zhang, what are you sillying here again?" a man walked over with a smile.

Lian Man'er turned her head and found that the person coming was Wu Yugui.

"Uncle Wu San." Lian Man'er and Xiao Qi both smiled and greeted Wu Yugui.

When Wu Yugui saw them, he also laughed at the latest chapter.

"Man'er and Xiaoqi, are you here to buy meat?"

"Yes, Uncle Wu San. I'll make dumplings at home tonight. If Uncle Wu San is free, come and have a drink with my father. My father has been talking about Uncle Wu San these two days."

Lian Man'er's words made the smile on Wu Yugui's face increase a little more.

"Go back and take good care of your father and mother. Today is not enough. You have to help someone discuss business later. Another day, I will make two pounds of good wine and have fun with your father." Wu Yugui said.

"This real mastery of all things is here, Miss Three. Aren't you asking these people what they are doing? If Old Wu doesn't know, then no one in our town will know." Butcher Zhang grinned.

"Yes, Uncle Wu San. Why are we here for so many people?" Lian Man'er asked Wu Yugui with a smile.

"There are more people in two days, there will be more people!" Wu Yugui said.

Listening to Wu Yugui's voice, it seemed that he really knew something.

"What's going on? Old Wu, tell me quickly. I've said everything I have said these two days." Butcher Zhang and the good-good man asked Wu Yugui.

"Old Zhang, I asked you to leave two pig waists for me. Have you kept them?" Wu Yugui did not answer, but said to Butcher Zhang instead.

"It's all right. I can forget what you told me." Butcher Zhang said, then put down his knife. He took out a bag of oiled paper stained with blood and grease from under the chopping board and threw it on the table. "Tell me quickly. What's going on."

"...The Empress of the Shen family is gone. The current emperor has written an imperial edict and rewarded the Shen family with a lot of money. He wants to build a temple for the Empress in Xiaoshentun, so he builds it on the mountain in Xiaoshentun. Now, the people who have come here in the past two days have come to see the place." Wu Yugui finally told the news.

Lian Man'er was inexplicably relieved. When Queen Chen died, she could still receive such treatment, which means that the Shen family's favor is still strong. She has indeed watched too many palace fights and is worried about the ancients. Shen Liu and Shen Xiaopang will still enjoy wealth and glory.

"The mountain in Xiao Shentun?" Lian Man'er's heart moved, "Isn't that mountain in front of the south mountain of our village?"

"Yes, it's your name from Dananshan." Wu Yugui said.

Isn’t that the place where she saved Shen Liu? It’s such a coincidence.

Several people talked for a while. Butcher Zhang had already cut the pork filling, cut open the two bones and handed them to Lian Man'er. Lian Man'er paid the money, said goodbye to Wu Yugui, and left the butcher shop.

"If you want to build a temple in Danan Mountain, then we will be lively here." Lian Man'er said to Xiaoqi while walking.

Lian Man'er foresaw that they would be lively here, but she still underestimated the level of lively. Wu Yugui's news should be accurate, but it was only one-tenth of the truth of the matter. However, at this time, Lian Man'er certainly didn't know about this, but later, from the mouth of the Shen family involved, she learned the whole story.

"Second sister, what else do we want to buy?" Xiao Qi asked when he saw Lian Man'er walking towards the town.

"I haven't thought about it, let's take a look first."

Lian Man'er led Xiaoqi into the vegetable market in Qingyang Town. Whether it was a market day or a leisure day, there were vendors setting up stalls and selling a variety of things.

"Second sister, that's the pickled cabbage sent from our house." Xiaoqi pointed to a vendor and said.

Lian Man'er smiled and nodded. Since her family opened a sauerkraut workshop, many vendors have come to her house to wholesale sauerkraut for retail sales.

"How much does a pound of bean sprouts cost?" Lian Man'er stopped in front of a stall selling bean sprouts and asked.

"Miss, shouldn't I buy bean sprouts? Look at how watery and clean my bean sprouts are." The middle-aged woman sold the bean sprouts. When she saw the customer, she enthusiastically opened the mouth of the bag containing the bean sprouts a little wider and grabbed a handful of bean sprouts for Lian Man'er to see. "The soybeans grown by home are cheaper than other places, and they cost three cents per pound."

Most of the middle-aged women say the truth, but if the price is cheaper than other places, they are used to coax children. Even Man'er traveled all over the small vegetable market but bought nothing.

"Second sister, what are you going to do?" Xiaoqi felt a little strange and asked Lian Man'er.

"Xiaoqi, sister, test you." Lian Man'er whispered to Xiaoqi, "Look at how many bean sprouts are sold in this vegetable market?"

"I know, there are three companies in total." Xiao Qi thought for a while, then stretched out three chubby fingers and said.

Lian Man'er nodded with satisfaction. Xiaoqi is very smart and has good observation skills.

"Then have you been careful? How many bean sprouts have they sold at this time?" Lian Man'er asked another question that was slightly more difficult.

"Well..." Xiaoqi tilted his head and thought, "It seems that two people bought bean sprouts. When we arrived at the second one just now, an old man bought three kilograms from that one."

Lian Man'er nodded again. It was already very good for Xiaoqi to remember these without prior reminders. She had been careful. In this vegetable market, there were three companies selling bean sprouts, all at three cents per kilogram. In this time, it should be less than a quarter of an hour before two transactions were sold, selling about five kilograms of bean sprouts.

"The answer is good. There is a reward." Lian Man'er smiled.

"What reward?" Xiaoqi was a child after all. When he heard the reward, he immediately laughed so hard that he couldn't see him.

"What do you want?" Lian Man'er asked.

Xiaoqi seemed a little shy and rubbed his right toe slightly on the ground.

Lian Man'er laughed secretly. The little guy had something he wanted, but was embarrassed to speak.

"Tell me, today's birthday is only once a year. If my sister doesn't bring enough money, let's go back to credit first." Lian Man'er looked at Xiao Qi with encouraging eyes. The meaning in her words was that she would buy it no matter how much the things Xiao Qi wanted.

"Second sister, don't need that much money." Xiaoqi stretched out his chubby little hand and pointed at a peddler next to him. "I want that, call me."

Lian Man'er looked along Xiaoqi's fingers and saw a row of bamboo whistles hanging on the peddler's pickup, which were carved into various shapes, very delicate, with red velvet thread tied at one end.

"So Xiaoqi wants this." Lian Man'er smiled pursed her lips and pulled Xiaoqi over.

"Second sister, I want that carp." Xiaoqi pointed at a calligrapher and said. Judging from his appearance, he must have wanted it for a long time.

"I want to buy a call, eight cents a day." The peddler smiled when he heard Xiaoqi's words.

Xiaoqi didn't dare to ask for it for eight cents. Even Man'er felt a little sour. Then she remembered that she and Xiaoqi didn't seem to have toys, not a single one. Calling a child is not expensive, but in the eyes of poor rural children, it is still a luxury.

"It's expensive." Xiaoqi said before Lian Man'er could speak, "The last time I was in the episode, it was exactly the same, only five copper coins."

Xiaoqi said something and blinked at Lian Man'er secretly. The peddler didn't lie to them. Zhu Zhizi costs eight cents per, but he can save a few cents. He has to bargain when buying things, which is what Lian Man'er taught him.

"That's right, don't bully us young, just ask us for more money." Lian Man'er immediately said, "It's a lot of five cents, so if we don't sell it, we won't buy it."

"Uncle, we don't have that much money." Xiaoqi said pitifully again.

The peddler widened his eyes, looked at the siblings and smiled helplessly, "You kids are better than adults. You have watched it at the market, and you can't get a price of five cents. I think you really like it, otherwise I'll suffer a little, and I'll sell it to you for seven cents."

"It's mostly not worth five cents." Lian Man'er deliberately put on a stern face and made a move to leave.

"Sister." Xiaoqi grabbed Lian Man'er's hand and turned around and said to the peddler, "Uncle, just sell me one."

"Miss, don't make things difficult for me. It's really not the price. You have to give me some capital if you say anything. It's six cents, no matter how little it is... I haven't sold this price." The peddler said with a bitter face.

"Second sister, buy it for me, I want it." Xiaoqi turned his back to the peddler and narrowed his eyes at Lian Man'er. In this era, people who do business are more honest and the price is more realistic.

Only then did Lian Man'er pay unwillingly.

"I'm afraid of you. If my mother wants to beat or scold you when she goes back, I won't help you. You know how difficult it is to come for this penny."

The peddler had already called Xiaoqi the carp-shaped call that Xiaoqi had liked. Xiaoqi wiped the sleeves and put them in his mouth, and a cheerful tune rang out.

Lian Man'er carefully counted out six copper coins and handed them to the peddler with a smile.

"Uncle, let's give me some more candy."

…………

Lian Man'er had sugar in her mouth and went to Cai Ji next to her to buy half of roast chicken. It was not as cost-effective as buying live chicken to stew it home. This was the first time Lian Man'er bought roast chicken.

Xiaoqi found it very strange.

"There is a good thing, I'll go home later and tell you." Lian Man'er said a little mysteriously.
