CH 35.2

The woman watching the vegetables at the other stall and then saw that Xu He's vegetables were clean and tender, and they were wrapped properly. She immediately wanted to go over and had a look, but the stall owner stopped her and said in a low voice, " The vegetables that are not fresh are washed, and the ones with the mud on my stall are the freshest. "

The woman gave a dry laugh, and slipped to Xu He's stall while the ge’er was busy cleaning the vegetables, and picked out a handful of crisp and tender wild onions.

The ge’er glared at Xu He angrily, but Xu He turned a blind eye and greeted the visitors warmly, soon half of his vegetables were sold out.

"Who are you, you dare to compete with me for business!"

After the people who were waiting to buy vegetables dispersed, the ge’er pinched his waist and couldn't help scolding.

"There are stalls everywhere, and who is robbing whose business?"

"I don't care about other people's stalls, but your stall is next to me to steal my business!"

It was not the first time, Xu He had seen so many unreasonable people, he was not angry, and watered his own vegetables.

Xu He said, "I don't know."

"Okay, you newcomer has a tough temper, I want to see if you have a tougher mouth or a tougher bone, believe it or not, I will find someone to teach you!"

Xu He didn't bother to talk to him, and even yelled to sell his vegetables.

The ge’er was so annoyed that he couldn't be settled, but he couldn't directly fight with someone here, so he took a vegetable basket, moved his stall away, and avoided Xu He like a god of plague.

There were many people selling wild vegetables in the market, and Xu He prepared a lot of wild vegetables. By then, the sun was already quite high, and many vendors left with their vegetables. They either collected their vegetables and went back, went to the street to sell under the bridge, or go to Resident Alley to sell them cheaper.

Xu He still had a lot of wild vegetables left, so he packed them up and prepared to put them next to Zhang Fangyuan's meat stall in the afternoon. If anyone came to buy meat, maybe someone would buy the wild vegetables. If he couldn't sell it, he would take it home and eat it by himself or dried it in the sun for storage, in short, it couldn’t be sold in the city again, since it would become less and less fresh.

He calculated the money from selling vegetables, and the income was considered good, with more than thirty copper coins, he could buy a pair of chickens and went home. Suddenly he frowned again, he promised Zhang Fangyuan to make steamed buns for him. If he went to buy flour, he wouldn’t be able to buy chickens.

He hesitated and went back to the meat market, where Zhang Fangyuan was chopping mutton for the customers.

"Are you back?"

"Yeah."

Zhang Fangyuan wrapped the leg of lamb for the customer, and Xu He glanced at the meat stall. Half of the mountain goods were sold, but not much pork was sold.

"This time the pig is small and the meat is not thick enough, so they are not easy to sell like usual. Fortunately, there are still a lot of people who buy mountain goods, but they can't buy a whole one. It's better to peel and sell them separately." Zhang Fangyuan whispered: "Selling them separately will give me an extra two copper coins a catty."

Xu He rolled his eyes.

Xu Shi came to the meat market with a determined mind to buy meat. Most of the meat market was pork. Seeing that there were mountain goods, he wanted to ask the price as soon as his saw it. People in the city were sometimes willing to eat pork, but when they were tired of it, they spent the money and ate something else. In addition, mountain goods were not always available. After all, they were supplied by hunters, unlike pork that was raised in captivity, which was usually available to villagers.

While the two were talking, they saw a burst of noise at the gate of the meat market.

"My family's scholar is going to get married, so I'm here to order something and prepare for the banquet."

"Congratulations aunt, look, the meat on my stall is the fattest, and it's suitable for a banquet!"

"Auntie, if you want more benefits, come and look at my stall!"

Buying meat for banquet was undoubtedly a big customer, and there were not many people buying meat in the meat market at this time, but suddenly there was someone who wanted boto buy it for a banquet, and for a while, most of the butchers went to say hello to grab this business.

Zhang Fangyuan and Xu He exchanged glances.

"The marriage between Fei Lian and your second sister is still settled."

In fact, after the marriage was settled, Liu Xianglan was angry for two days because of the gift money, and was persuaded by Xu Shaochun later. So she would still marry to the Fei family.

There was a heated discussion in the village, and for a while, it was unclear whether to envy the Xu family or the Fei family. In short, all the men and women of the right age in the village were heartbroken, including Chen Si, Zhang Fangyuan's nearest neighbor.

The couple had just gotten married and were deeply affectionate. They went up the mountain to dig wild vegetables, and went outside the village to sell them. Xu He didn't go out to the fields for the past two days. He didn't know if her second sister's marriage was successful or not until he met the villagers. At that time, Zhang Fangyuan said that Fei's family came to the door.

"Hey, isn't this He Ge’er and butcher Zhang?"

Fei's mother was overwhelmed by the crowd of butchers, and her heart was fluttering. She caught a glimpse of Zhang's meat stall that had no business for a long time, and walked to the couple's stall with a basket and a smile.

"Oh, it's just that the meat is too thin, otherwise I'll order it here."

Fei's mother pinched the hanging lean meat and glanced sideways at Xu He, who was still tall and skinny. How did his appearance made her son lost his mind for many days, her eyeballs moved: "I'm afraid it's not easy to do this business because of the pig's appearance."

Zhang Fangyuan saw Fei's mother's yin and yang strange appearance, and guessed that he probably knew Fei Lian's original intention. Seeing that she didn't want to buy meat from his stall, he didn't need to be polite, and with a flick of his hand, he stabbed the bone chopping knife into the cutting board with a loud bang.

"Mrs. Fei is really capable. Not only she manage Fei Xiucai's wedding banquet, but she also has the leisure to care about the affairs of the folks. It's really amazing."

Fei's mother subconsciously shrank her shoulders when she saw the shining knife, seeing that the butcher was not good at it. Seeing that the butcher was not good at flattering people, they didn't show any face when they met her, so she didn't dare to open her mouths. After taking a look at Xu He, she hurried away with a basket on her shoulder.

Although Xu He didn't care much about Fei's mother, the corners of his mouth were slightly curled up when he was defended, and he tugged at the hem of the angry man's clothes, and suddenly made a decision on the previously entangled matter: "I want to buy some small chickens and ducklings, but there is not enough money."

Zhang Fangyuan suddenly smiled, and immediately took out the box money from selling the meat: "Take it and buy it."
