    ?

    When carrying water, I met Liu Maocai.  "Third Master, do you think I can raise a few?"

    "Why do you think of raising sheep? That thing can't be sold for much, so no one wants to buy it. Besides, how much food will it cost?"

    "I'll be more diligent and mow more grass. The bran left over from grinding the noodles should be enough. I don't want to raise pigs."

    "Well, today is the fair in Zhanggezhuang. I'll let your third wife go with you later. If there's no one in the fair, I'll drive you to Dawan Village to buy it."

    "Then, I'll go home and wait for my third mother." After speaking, she carried water and left.

    Liu Maocai also brought water back home, "Mom, you and Hongmei will go to Zhanggezhuang's fair later, this girl wants to buy sheep."

    "Raising sheep? Yes, it saves food compared to raising pigs. It's just that it costs less. Really, if you go to Zhanggezhuang today, you will definitely meet Zhang Hongqi. I really didn't expect him to be that kind of person."

    "You don't care what kind of person he is, just ignore him and he will be hit. He doesn't dare to do anything."

    "That's right, I'm still afraid of him? Then I'm leaving?"

    "Go, bring more money, and if Hongmei doesn't have enough, fill it in for her."

    "Come on, I'll bring more." Li Cuihua quickly changed her clothes and went out.

    Daya Liu also wanted to go, but she didn't dare to open her mouth seeing her father.  Seriously, Erya went to school today, she's really biased, why didn't she let herself go?  It's great to go to school and not have to work.  Thinking that there is still a lot of work at home, I get angry.

    Li Cuihua and Zhang Hongmei were walking on the road, "I am good at buying sheep, Hongmei. I tended sheep when I was young, and my brothers went to the field. When I was a girl, I was the most leisurely. At that time, my parents spoiled me, and my brothers let me go to the farm.  That's right. As soon as this girl gets married, she won't be free immediately, and everyone has to take care of the old and the young."

    "My third uncle is also very kind to you?"

    "It's pretty good, but I don't have to worry about being a girl. That's why I say that girls and women should value themselves equally."

    "Is that selfish?"

    "No, it's about cherishing myself from the bottom of my heart, and I only know it after I've lived so long."

    "What the three mothers said makes sense."

    "Go, I'm not joking with you. Your mother is gone, so I will tell you more when you are young." The two of them chatted and arrived at Zhanggezhuang.  There are fewer things, and they are all for leisure.

    "Hongmei, follow me closely, there are many people today, besides, don't run into disgusting people."

    "I know San Niang, I won't get lost. Do you have anything to buy?"

    "If you don't have anything to buy, just take a look. Maybe you can remember what is missing at home."

    Zhang Hongmei hasn't been to the market for a long time. In her previous life, her mother took her there when she was in preschool.

    There really isn't much on this season episode.  The grain is also coarse grains, and there is no meat at all, but there are big cocks and eggs for sale.

    "Third Mother, how do you sell these eggs?"

    "Eggs are five cents each. Do you want them?"

    "Well, besides eating eggs, I want to ask you to help me hatch chicks."

    "Middle. If you want to buy it, buy it. I will hatch a few more for you when the old hens start to brood in spring."

    "Sister, how do you sell the eggs?"

    "One for five. They are all new, look fresh."

    Zhang Hongmei leaned over, "Ma'am, how many are there in this basket?"

    "There are thirty."

    "Then I want it all, can it be cheaper?"

    "Money is indispensable, the family is waiting to buy salt."

    Li Cuihua squatted down and picked up all the eggs into her basket, exactly thirty.

    Zhang Hongmei handed over one yuan and fifty cents, carried a basket and followed Li Cuihua away.

    It was only when I walked to the other end of the market that I saw the sheep seller. The ewe brought five lambs.  Zhang Hongmei tugged at Li Cuihua's sleeve.

    Li Cuihua stepped forward, "Big brother, how do you sell this sheep?"

    "Sister, are you sincerely buying it?"

    "If you're not sincere, why am I making fun of you?"

    "If you buy the big sheep sincerely, you will give 20 yuan, and the lamb five yuan."

    "Why don't you go grab it? How can it be so expensive? You don't even have this price when you are fat in autumn. I think you are not sincere in selling it." After finishing speaking, I wanted to leave.

    "Elder sister, don't leave, the sale has to be negotiated, and you left without counter-offering? Tell me, how much will you give?"

    "Fifteen dollars for the big sheep and three dollars for the lamb." Li Cuihua chopped off one-third of it in one fell swoop.

    "No hit, no hit"The price is too low to sell.  "

    "If you don't sell it, people will sell it. Few people buy this thing." She stretched out her hand and pulled Zhang Hongmei away.

    "Eldest sister, elder sister is back, let's discuss it again."

    "There is nothing to discuss, I will buy it now."

    The middle-aged man who sold the sheep clicked his lips and walked around the sheep, "Zhong, I will sell it to you, you can give me the money."

    Li Cuihua walked back triumphantly, and looked at the six sheep one by one, "I'll just buy a big sheep and a lamb."

    "Sister, how can you do this? You have to buy them all at my price. Otherwise, you really can't sell them."

    "Who do you think buys so much? Who can afford it?"

    Still, Zhang Hongmei secretly tugged on Li Cuihua's sleeve and approached her in a low voice, "Three big ladies, let's buy them all. I can support myself, so I'll just mow more grass and win. Let's buy them all."

    Li Cuihua really didn't want to buy so many of them, but if people said buy them, just buy them. If it doesn't work, they will ask Erya and the others to help mow the grass.

    "It costs 30 yuan to buy all of these, which is too expensive."

    "It's not expensive. The big sheep can be bred in the spring, and the lambs can be born after five months. The lambs can be bred in half a year. How many do you have? How much do you sell for?"

    "Then why don't you save money to support yourself?"

    "I can't afford it anymore."

    "You know you can't afford it? You know how to draw big cakes."

    Zhang Hongmei really saw how powerful Li Cuihua is, and every time the foster-bearer said a word, he would persuade him back, which is amazing.

    "How about this, big brother, I bought them all, and I won't wipe away the money, but you have to send them back to me. My family is from Liujiatun. We just come here, and the sheep are still born with us. What if we can't get them back?"

    "Zhong, as long as you don't wipe the money, I'll send it back to you."

    "I can only give you money when I get home. Do you trust us?"

    The middle-aged man hesitated, "Can't you give half first? Give the other half when you get home?"

    "Yezhong, it seems that you are scared, why don't you give me money?"

    Zhang Hongmei handed the sheep seller fifteen yuan, and rushed home. There was really nothing to buy in the market, anyway, there were only a few things, and she had them all.

    ? Before leaving Daji, Zhang Hongmei saw the egg seller and wanted to buy again. Li Cuihua also felt sorry for her, thinking that she was greedy, so just buy it, and it is not something that is not needed.  At least you can eat it in your mouth, right?

    This time there were more than last time, there were fifty. The seller saw that they wanted to buy them all, so he sold them the basket for five cents.  I got 80 eggs today.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
