"This time is a bit early. Usually people come to the market to buy things after the sun comes out. People in Hongye Village don't come to buy things so early."

Xia Manzhi and the others come to Hongye Village for most of their shopping.

They rarely go to town to buy things.

One is busy, and the other is that things in town are more expensive.

It's better to buy it at the market in Hongye Village. It's faster to walk back and forth to Hongye Village, and the same thing can be cheaper.

Unless they need something urgently, Xia Manzhi and the others usually don't go to town.

But in the middle of the twelfth lunar month, when the Chinese New Year is approaching, everyone will go shopping in the town.

I was reluctant to buy anything on weekdays, so at that time every household would spend some money to buy some food.

I am reluctant to buy meat on weekdays, but I am willing to buy a pound or two during the Chinese New Year.

After a busy year, everyone also wants to eat something good for the New Year.

Also buy some snacks and dried fruits to entertain guests during the Chinese New Year.

When the carriage entered the entrance of Hongye Village, everyone got off the carriage.

Xia Manzhi pointed to a stall in the middle: "Go and set up a stall over there. Usually those who buy pastries, snacks and pasta will set up stalls in this area."

Xia Tiannuan nodded, and Lin Rong drove the carriage there.

They occupied a stall in the past, and some people around them had already started setting up stalls.

Someone set up the shelf and began to put a dustpan on it to put the prepared noodles. There was also a smell of wheat.

Someone also set up a small stove nearby and sold steamed buns on the spot.

There are also stalls selling steamed buns, wowotou and mooncakes.

Some stalls display red dates, dried fruits and other items.

Xia Tiannuan's expression changed as he looked at those things, thinking about going over to ask about the price after a while.

I remember my aunt said that things in the market are cheaper than things in the town.

After a while, Hongye Village Market became lively.

There are more and more people setting up stalls, and people who are closer to the stalls will also chat with each other.

"The weather is nice today. I guess there will be a lot of people coming to the market."

"Yeah, I hope business is booming today."

"Last time we went to the market, it happened to rain. We only went to the market all morning, so everyone had to close the stalls in a hurry."

"No, luckily last time it started to rain lightly, otherwise everything would have gotten wet."

"If you want your business to be good, you have to buy some mooncakes after making money. Since it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will also buy some mooncakes for the children to taste. Furthermore, my wife has to go to her parents' house and bring some mooncakes back...

…”

"I want to buy some mooncakes. The prices have gone up before. I don't know if this year's mooncakes are more expensive than last year."

"If it's expensive, buy it. Take it home and try it. It's the festival and everyone eats mooncakes."

"That's right."

People who can afford mooncakes will still buy them.

Unless the family is really poor, they may not be able to buy it, but there are also people who make mooncakes at home, but they are just not as good as the ones they buy.

It’s also for meaning.

Xia Tiannuan and the others put up the shelf.

Set up a shelf to resemble a big table, put a dustpan and basket on it, and put snacks and mooncakes on it.

The soap is placed in several wooden basins on the other side.

She makes a lot of mooncakes, the table is big and full of things.

After everyone placed their things, the sun gradually rose from the east.

Xia Tiannuan looked up at the sun in the east, looking at the light that illuminated the entire sky, and his expression moved.

The air environment at this time is really good, and you can see the sunrise very clearly here.

There are no blocks of high-rise buildings, the scenery is full of green mountains and the sky is extremely blue.

Xia Tiannuan couldn't help but take a deep breath of fresh air.

As the sun rises, smoke rises from the houses in Hongye Village.

Looking at this scenery, Xia Tiannuan felt a strange feeling in his heart and became very relaxed.

Yang looked at the rising smoke and said, "Many people in Hongye Village have gotten up to make breakfast, right?"

Xia Manzhi said: "I heard before that people in Hongye Village will come to the market to take a look when they have nothing to do."

"Some people just bring radish and cabbage to set up a stall."

"Look at those elderly people. They should be from Hongye Village. They set up stalls there, and the baskets should contain eggs or duck eggs."

Xia Tiannuan's eyes lit up as soon as he heard the duck eggs.

She said: "Mom and dad, please help me look after the stall here first, and I'll go buy duck eggs."

Xia Manzhi was stunned and said: "Nuan Nuan, do you need duck eggs? Our family only raises a few ducks and has saved some duck eggs."

Last night she was discussing with her parents to save some money and a basket, then sell the duck eggs and go to town to buy some delicious food to send to Nuannuan.

If Nuan Nuan needs duck eggs, then they can give them to Nuan Nuan.

Xia Tiannuan's expression changed and he said, "Auntie, you have duck eggs at home."

"Yes, usually when you go up the mountain in the morning, you will drive the ducks to the river. In the evening, the ducks will come back automatically."

"They all know the way, and raising ducks is actually quite easy. I have saved more than ten duck eggs at home. When I get back, I will give the duck eggs to you. If you want to use them, I will give them to you after the ducks lay eggs."

Xia Tiannuan smiled and said: "Auntie, I want to make some food, pickled with duck eggs. We need duck eggs. You can raise more. I will charge according to the market price, which is two cents per duck egg."

"I'll charge you as much as you can."

Upon hearing these words, Xia Manzhi was shocked.

"Nuan Nuan, you... you really need duck eggs, there are so many of them!"

Xia Manzhi doesn't want Nuannuan's money at all.

"If you need it, I'll just send it to you for use. You've helped my aunt so much, so why don't you pay for it?"

Xia Manzhi has a bold personality and is not the kind of person who is picky and fussy.

He also knows how to repay kindness.

Xia Tiannuan explained: "Auntie, I'm doing business. If you don't want to charge me, I'll buy someone else's and I'll pay you the same."

"And giving it to my aunt according to the market price is equivalent to cooperating with my aunt in business. This will make it easier for me to continue purchasing with my aunt in the future, so aunt, you can't be polite to me."

When Xia Tiannuan said this, Xia Manzhi couldn't say anything else.

"Auntie, think about it carefully. You can raise more ducks when you go back. I will even keep the ducks later."

Duck can be used to make braised duck neck and other foods.

Thinking that the duck heads and duck necks are really cooked, they taste really delicious.

When Xia Tiannuan said this, Xia Manzhi's heart became hot.

His eyes lit up.

If we raise more ducks and lay more duck eggs, plus Nuan Nuan wants to collect the ducks, then in total, we might be able to earn one or two taels of silver a month.

As soon as she thought this way, Xia Manzhi stood up with excitement.

Even Chen Daya had a look of disbelief.

She thought that she could go back and help her parents raise ducks, so that she could also help the family.

"Nuan Nuan, my aunt doesn't even know how to thank you."

Xia Manzhi believed in Nuannuan's words. She also felt that her niece was a capable person and what she said was true.
