Chapter 17 Trading

Chapter 17 Buying and selling

There must be a turtledove in this bowl. Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but feel sore in her eyes. She always loves to cry.

I love to cry when I am sad, and I also cry when I am happy.

Su Sanmei responded in the outer room: "Mom, I have meat to eat, so I won't come."

Su Sanlang smiled and said: "Eat quickly, my daughter feels sorry for you. I will set up the trap again tomorrow. I will catch it in the future. Every time I catch it in the future, we will eat some at home."

Mrs. Zhao looked at Su Sanlang and said softly: "Daddy, you can eat it too."

Mrs. Zhao took a piece of turtle dove meat and fed it to Su Sanlang. Seeing Su Sanlang retreat, she said, "My father, if you don't eat it, then I won't eat it either."

Mrs. Zhao knew that Su Sanlang had given all the meat to her and the children, and he himself was reluctant to even take a sip of the soup.

And how could she let it go? They are a family.

Seeing how determined Zhao was, Su Sanlang had no choice but to eat the piece of meat.

Turtle dove meat is really fragrant. After being stewed for a long time, the bones are soft.

After dinner, the family washed up and went to bed.

Su Sanlang got up early the next day to cook. He called Su Sanmei up to help.

When it was done, Su Sanmei went back to sleep.

When Su Sanlang entered the house, Mrs. Zhao was awake, as if she knew he was going out, and said in a gentle voice: "Dad, I don't know how to sell things, but I heard my elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law say before that you need to shop around when buying and selling.

Something like that, you can try walking around a few more places."

Winter is coming, and the weather will get colder and colder. Ms. Zhao only hopes to make more money from her sales.

Su Sanlang was also a little uneasy, but he smiled and said to Mrs. Zhao, "Don't worry, my dear, I know what's going on. I'll go right away. If you need anything at home, call Sanmei and Brother Chong. If you need anything, please call Brother Hua."

Son, they are all obedient."

Mrs. Zhao nodded.

Su Sanlang didn't want Mrs. Zhao to worry too much, so he didn't delay. He put the living things at the bottom, put more than ten kilograms of chestnuts on top, carried them on his back and went out.

Mrs. Zhao watched Su Sanlang go out, sighed softly, and prayed silently in her heart, praying that God would favor their family.

Su Xiaolu yawned and said silently in her heart: Send good luck to daddy.

When Su Sanlang left the village with a basket on his back, his genius was bright and no one in the village had woken up yet. He turned back and glanced in the direction of his home, with many emotions in his eyes.

But after just one glance, he walked forward resolutely. The town closest to the village was called Yangjiao Town. This time Su Sanlang was going to Yangjiao Town to sell game and wild chestnuts.

It took an hour to walk from the village to the town. When he arrived at the town, Su Sanlang realized that he had to pay a penny to enter.

Those who don't have money have to pay in kind or pay on credit. There is a big river outside Yangjiao Town, and there is only one way in and out of the town. If you want to pay for your escape, you have to cross mountains and ridges.

When crossing mountains and ridges, we encountered poisonous insects and poisonous snakes. If we were bitten, we would lose our lives, so the officers and soldiers guarding the city did not worry about who would escape.

When they arrived at Su Sanlang, Su Sanlang imitated the tone of others and said: "Master, I came from the countryside to sell some wild products from the mountains. I have no money now. Can you remember it first and make up for it when I come out?"

.”

The officer and soldier guarding the city was a middle-aged man. He looked at Su Sanlang and was not embarrassed. He asked calmly: "What do you want to sell?"

Su Sanlang answered honestly: "Wild chestnuts and two pheasants."

"Okay, just press your fingerprints here and go in."

The officers and soldiers brought the paper to Su Sanlang. Su Sanlang obediently pressed his fingerprints, and then carried the basket on his back and entered the city.

There are several streets in the city, and roadside vendors shout to the people passing by, "Come and eat noodles, big and delicious meat buns."

Su Sanlang was carrying a backpack and looked left and right. He did not come forward to ask, but decided to take a walk first.

After going around for a while, he probably knew it in his mind.

Like him, there were many people who came from the countryside to sell things, and they all gathered in a street. Along the way, they could see pheasants, rabbits and wild fruits.

There are many well-dressed women passing by with baskets on their arms. When they see something they like, they will ask about the price.

Su Sanlang observed around and found that most of the hunters' prices for pheasants and rabbits were twenty cents per catty. Everyone's prices were about the same, and Su Sanlang knew it.

He took out the chestnuts, wrenched out the pheasants and hares, and prepared to sit down and wait for someone to ask questions.

At this time, there was a person running in the distance. Su Sanlang didn't recognize him, but the people beside him had already stood up with their hares and pheasants, and they all smiled and said, "Butler Sun, look at this pheasant of mine.

The ones we caught haven’t even broken their skin.”

"Butler Sun, look at my wild rabbit. It's very plump and its fur is also very good."

People gathered around Butler Sun, carrying their prey and smiling.

Another person who introduced wild fruits came forward and handed Butler Sun a peach, and said flatteringly: "Butler Sun, please try it. The wild peaches in the mountains are so sweet."

Butler Sun covered his nose with his hand and waved, glanced at him and said, "Get out of the way, you have soiled my clothes, but you have to pay for it."

Everyone took a step back, but still looked at Butler Sun hopefully.

Su Sanlang also came to his senses. It was the butler of a wealthy family who came out to buy something, but he couldn't squeeze in at this moment, so he had to stand still.

Butler Sun didn't choose anyone's things, but walked forward, and the people surrounding him had to get out of the way.

As soon as the people got out of the way, Butler Sun looked at the hare that Su Sanlang had put on the ground. He looked at it nonchalantly. He narrowed his eyes and stepped forward and said, "I want all of you. I'm carrying them behind my back."

Let me go."

Su Sanlang's heart welled up with joy. He nervously and stammered to sell wild chestnuts to Butler Sun, "Sun, Butler Sun, my wild chestnuts are also very fresh, dried just right, and sweet."

With that said, Su Sanlang opened the sack on the side so that Butler Sun could see the hairy chestnuts inside.

Butler Sun looked over and said, "It's not bad. It's a rare thing. Let's take it with us. It's also good for my little master to try it out."

After buying Su Sanlang's and other people's, Butler Sun didn't look at them any more. He just said "Let's go" and turned around and walked away.

Su Sanlang happily picked up his back and followed. Even if he was looked at with jealous eyes, he didn't mind. He naturally understood that his appearance affected the luck of others.

But this was just an interlude. After Butler Sun left, someone else would soon ask.

Those who did not sell their prey did not care about being jealous of Su Sanlang, and immediately put on a smiling face and sent their prey forward...

As for Su Sanlang, he followed Butler Sun away from the busy city and arrived at the back door of a large house. Looking at this beautiful house with green bricks and blue tiles, Su Sanlang sighed in his heart and followed Butler Sun into the back door. Butler Sun said: "I

Judging from your appearance, this is your first time in town."
