Chapter 549 Sha Zhu’s Cousin (4)
The Pigeon Market is also in an alley. Once you enter, you will find that it is full of various goods.
The least we sell is some grain, at most some coarse grains.
There are more people selling livestock. Some people have too many livestock pups at home and it is difficult to raise them. It is better to exchange them for some money or other useful things.
The majority of the shops are those that sell antiques, gold, silver, and jade. Basically, there are several people selling these things for every other stall.
Shuangshuang doesn't know much about antiques, nor can he tell the quality of these jade pieces, but he thinks that there should be relatively few fakes coming out of this era, right?
Walking along the alley, he actually saw someone selling wild vegetables and eggs.
Shuangshuang stopped and after some bargaining, forty eggs cost him one dollar and fifty cents.
The boss was generous and gave his frame to Shuangshuang.
Continuing to walk around, I met a man selling ducks. When I asked the price, the owner said, "This duck is four dollars a piece, no bargaining!"
Some people who originally wanted to buy it shook their heads. There was not much duck meat, weighing less than three pounds. It would be even lighter after removing the feathers and internal organs. It was not worth it, not worth it!
But Liu Jianjun didn't mind the price. He bought three ducks for 12 yuan, thinking of putting them in the space and eating them slowly later.
The chicken shop next door happened to sell chickens. Seeing Shuangshuang was so generous, the chicken shop owner bought all the ducks from the next door.
So he looked at Shuangshuang with hope and asked softly.
"Boss, would you like to take two chickens home to eat?"
"How much does one cost?"
No one here brings a scale, so just hold it in your hand and have the price estimated.
No matter how light or heavy it is, no one cares at all.
"Boss, my chickens weigh at least four pounds each, and they're only 6 yuan each!"
Shuangshuang didn't bargain with him. This good thing is hard to come by, so since they came across it, they might as well buy it.
Four chickens cost twenty-four yuan, and Shuangshuang paid the money quickly.
Now he has a basket on his left wrist, holding three ducks, and four chickens in his right hand. He looks very rich!
Whenever he passed by, the vendors would gently try to attract customers from him.
Shuangshuang doesn’t buy everything. She will only stop and look at something she likes.
As I walked and stopped, I actually met someone selling meat. I remembered what Sha Zhu said yesterday, that he wanted to buy some meat to make braised pork.
Without saying a word, I bought one and weighed it, weighing five pounds and eight ounces.
But it is a bit expensive at two and a half yuan per pound. If you go to the supply and marketing cooperative, it will cost at most one yuan.
But the one who wants the ticket can't just let it go like that.
Shuangshuang looked at the chicken and duck meat in their hands, thinking that these dishes should be enough to feed the family for a few days, so they planned to go home.
I went home, put my things down, and went to take a look in my yard.
Master Luo has already brought some people with him and is working there.
When he saw Shuangshuang coming, Master Luo thought he was here to see how efficient they were at work.
So I quickly went up to him and greeted him, "Comrade Liu, you're here.
What I mean is, clean the kitchen and bathroom first.
As for the plumbing, I plan to do it at night in the dark so as not to disturb others."
Shuangshuang didn't expect this person to be so dedicated, and she felt very straightforward.
"Okay! Master Luo, I don't know much about this either, so you can make the decision yourself.
I didn't come here to watch you work, I was just wondering if weeds were growing in the yard and whether we could pull some out in advance."
After hearing what Shuangshuang said, Master Luo felt relieved and went back to work.
Back in the house, I thought about giving Silly Master a set of military uniform yesterday, but I was interrupted and forgot to give it to Xiaoyu.
It’s strange today. Shazhu hasn’t come back yet.
Suddenly it occurred to me that he might have gone to provide extra meals for the factory leaders.
I took out the fish I bought at the Pigeon Market today, cooked some braised fish, and stir-fried some pickled cabbage, then waited for the brother and sister to come back for dinner.
The aroma of the braised fish spread for ten miles, attracting the attention of other families in the courtyard. Whose family is enjoying this delicious food?
Especially those who live in the same courtyard with the fool, the Jia and Yi families are even worse.
But Auntie is not like Jia Zhang, who has to get something to eat when she sees it.
When she smelled this rich fragrance at home, it really aroused her appetite.
So I grabbed a handful of pickled cabbage, put one in my mouth, and started chewing it, enjoying the aroma, as if I were eating fish.
Jia Zhang is different. She is greedy, otherwise she would not be able to raise that much meat.
But she was frightened by Shuangshuang yesterday, so she didn't dare to curse anyone outside today, and could only mutter softly at home.
Adults can tolerate it, but children who are just a few years old cannot tolerate it.
As soon as he smelled the fragrance, he started to act coquettishly towards Jia Zhang.
"Grandma, grandma, I want to eat fish, I want to eat fish.
Shazhu has cooked fish at home, so go and bring it back for me to eat."
Of course, Jia Zhang also wanted to eat fish, but in the past, she would just curse at Sha Zhu's family and Sha Zhu would quickly send it to her.
This time she also knew that Sha Zhu had not returned yet, and Shuangshuang was the only one at home, so she couldn't use a secret code.
So, he set his sights on Qin Huairu, who was sitting there in a daze.
He clearly wanted Qin Huairu to beg for food, but when he opened his mouth, he didn't say a single nice word.
She started cursing, "You little whore! You're just a money-loser! Can't you see my grandson wants to eat fish? Why don't you go to Sha Zhu's house and get some!"
Otherwise, how can we say that Jia Zhang is shameless? It was clearly her own desire to eat, but she had to drag the child into it.
Qin Huairu was so helpless after being scolded by her mother-in-law that she took a bowl from the cupboard and went to the door of Sha Zhu's house and knocked on it.
Shuangshuang had already heard the noise between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law at home, but he pretended not to know and asked.
"Who is it?"
"Brother Shuangyong...it's me, Qin Huairu. Can you open the door?"
"No, I'm alone at home, and it's hard to explain what's going on between a man and a woman.
Go back, I won’t open the door for you.”
But what Qin Huairu wants is this single man and single woman!
This is also the reason why she came here according to her mother-in-law's wishes.
If it were any other man, perhaps he would be stupid and would have gone limp after hearing her hooked voice, and he would definitely get what she wanted.
But she never expected that Liu Shuangyong would not fall for her tricks.
How could she know that she had spent much more time as a woman than as a man.
You knew what she meant the moment she opened her mouth.
Seeing that Shuangshuang didn't open the door for him, Qin Huairu had no choice but to speak directly.
"Brother Shuangyong, Penggeng wants to eat fish. Can you please give him two pieces?"
"No, he's not my son, and he's not without a father! If he wants to eat, ask his father to buy it!"
Shuangshuang just refused to open the door. When Qin Huairu said a few more words, she stopped talking.
