Chapter 98 Buying Chickens and Ducks

Old Wu was startled by her voice, and the string of fish he was holding trembled. He let go of his hand, and the glutinous rice ball-sized thing in his palm rolled down on the counter of the condiment shop with a thud.

A few rolls.

"Aunt Jiang, this is something from the store. I don't know what it is. I just looked at it and it was round." So I touched it.

Jiang Yan didn't bother to talk to him. He quickly picked up the potatoes on the counter. There was still some dry mud on them, but she didn't care at all. She just put them in her hands and looked at them carefully.

It has a slightly yellow skin, a round body, and a few white shoots in several sunken places. Although it is extremely small, it is indeed a potato, a small potato!

She has been here for so long that she never knew that potatoes existed in this era. If potatoes were available, would it be possible to find other things as well?

Jiang Yan threw the potato in front of the waiter and asked, "Second brother, what is this?"

The waiter said blankly: "This is something our boss got in exchange for it from an overseas merchant. We don't know what it is. It has been sitting there for a month and no one cares about it. I didn't expect you, sister, to take a fancy to it at a glance."

"

Jiang Yan asked curiously: "An ocean-going businessman?"

The waiter in the shop said quite proudly: "That's right, those people are really weird-looking and have weird hair colors. Our boss has a big business, and he likes to travel around the most. He got to know these businessmen when he was out playing.

of."

Jiang Yan nodded. The country she was in was called Hua Kingdom, also called Hua Dynasty. There were many satellite states and other countries around it. These things may have been spread from the Western Regions or overseas countries, because in the original memory, Yong'an Town

Before the drought, it was very prosperous, and the big river at the ferry never dried up. At that time, there would be many foreign ship traders.

"Little brother, do you have anything else besides this? I also like these weird things. Why don't you show them to me? If I like them, I'll buy some."

When the waiter heard this, he immediately went to the back room and brought out a box of things: "Sister, look, these are all, I don't know what they are, but our boss said that we can sell anything that someone likes!"

Jiang Yan went up the mountain to pick it up. The box was not big and there were not many things. In addition to potatoes, there were some flower seeds and fruit seeds in it. I couldn’t tell what they were. There were several kinds of seasonings, such as cumin and pepper, but the amounts were very small.

, she didn’t care about anything else, and bought them all in front of Old Wu. With this name, she could use this as an excuse to buy any strange things in the mall in the future.

"I like them all. Look at how much they cost. I'll take them all."

The waiter in the store was very surprised when he heard this, and immediately said: "I saw that the eldest sister is a discerning person. If you want it, I will sell it to you for two taels of silver, including the box."

"No problem, ask your boss to bring more of these things in the future, especially these two. If there are any, I will come down and buy them." Pointing to the pepper and cumin, Jiang Yan readily gave the money, and then she took some more.

A pack of fine salt, I bought it for Lao Wu. I just saw Lao Wu hanging around the salt counter several times, but the ones sold in this store were more expensive, so Lao Wu didn't buy it.

Seeing this, the waiter in the shop also counted two taels and gave the money. Old Wu took the box and followed Jiang Yan without saying a word. Jiang Yan wanted to help lift the fish, but he sternly refused and could not resist.

, Jiang Yan simply gave up.

After buying these things, Jiang Yan went to the pork shop again. This time she wanted to buy not only fresh pork, but also dried meat. She was going to send several children to a private school tomorrow, and she had to prepare six gifts in advance today. , after all, the original person was a top dog licker who had licked two scholars. From her memory, Jiang Yan naturally knew what the six rites were.

This dried meat is one of them, which means to thank teachers, celery, which means being diligent and diligent, longan, which means perfect merits, lotus seeds, which means hard work in teaching, red dates, which means getting to high school early, and red beans, which means great ambitions. Buy them according to the head. After that, Jiang Yan packed up the bags one by one, including those from Xiao Linzi and Xiao Wuzhizi.

When Lao Wu saw this, he insisted on giving Jiang Yan money. Jiang Yan knew that he wanted to send his children to school by himself, so she was unambiguous and told him to give it to him when he had money. Because there were many things, she asked Lao Wu to put them away first. After returning to the carriage, he turned around and went to another street.

She had promised Xiaodouzi to buy chickens a long time ago. After delaying for so long, it was time to buy them for the little guy today. She walked around and saw an old man buying chickens in a remote corner. There were only three in the stall. There were two baskets of chickens and one basket of ducks. Dozens of them were squatting and crawling sleepily in the cages. When they saw someone coming, only a few stood up staggeringly, not even looking at them. It's so good, it looks like it won't last long.

"Uncle, how do you sell these chickens and ducks? The energy doesn't look good, is there nothing wrong with it?" Jiang Yan poked it with her finger. The little chicken was yellow and plain, but it was very cute.

"Don't worry, big sister, the sun has been shining a little, and the chickens have been dried out, but the chickens are all fine. My chickens and ducks are all strong. If you look at their size, they are bigger than ordinary chickens. There are many, feel free to buy them back. If you have any questions, you can come to me at any time. I set up a stall in this town every day. My name is Old Man Ge, and my family is from Gejia Village. My home is on Huangtupo at the entrance of Gejia Village." Uncle Ge immediately spoke passionately, fearing that Jiang Yan would not believe it. He blew himself up at the door and quickly pulled out a chicken and a duck from the basket, and stuffed it into Jiang Yan's hands while talking.

Jiang Yan was caught off guard, holding a chicken in her right hand and a duck in her left hand. Before she could react, the little girl in her hand chirped, and a lump of yellow and white chicken excrement hit the palm of her hand, which was warm. Wow, it's also hot to the touch.

Jiang Yan: "..."

"Ouch! I'm so sorry, sister! This disobedient chicken!" Uncle Ge turned pale with fright. He immediately grabbed the chicken back, hurriedly picked up a handful of finely chopped hay from the ground, and hurriedly picked up a handful of fine hay. Wipe Jiang Yan clean.

The veins on Jiang Yan's forehead jumped repeatedly. In the end, she could only force a polite smile, and quickly put the duck back into the basket with her other hand.

"It's okay, uncle, how do you sell these chickens and ducks?" After Jiang Yan asked, she naturally wiped her palms on her trouser legs, muttering to herself that she had to wash her hands and change clothes when she got back!

"Chickens and ducks all cost the same price, seven cents each. Sister, how much do you want?"

There were twenty chickens in one cage and fifteen ducks in one cage. Jiang Yan bought the same cage and paid the money. She stretched out her hands in disgust and walked away carrying the cage frame, trying to keep the cage as far away from her as possible. , because there was a lot of chicken feces on the cage.
