Chapter 52: Going to the market for the annual ceremony
As the weather gets colder day by day, the New Year's Eve is getting closer and closer. After November, Lin Zhu wants to prepare things for the New Year, because he has contacts with the village chief's family, Wang's family and Dr. Zhang's family.
So Lin Zhu wanted to prepare some New Year things to send over, thanking them for taking care of them during this period. The village chief and Wang Shudun's family could just prepare some meat, and if there is a fish seller, add a fish to the family. But Mr. Zhang
The doctor's family always felt that it was inappropriate to just give these. If there were hares, pheasants, etc., maybe Dr. Zhang would like them more. But where could he get these? Lin Zhu was going to try his luck when he went to the town market.
Lin Zhu is now very familiar with going to the town market alone. When Aunt Li has no time, she goes alone in Lin Dazhu's oxcart. Moreover, almost everyone in Linjia Village knows her, and they will chat a few times along the way.
Sentence, does not appear lonely.
On this day, it happened to be the day to go to the market. Lin Zhu, accompanied by other villagers, took Lin Dazhu's bullock cart to the town.
When she arrived in town, Lin Zhu first went to the vegetable market to see if there were any hares, pheasants or the like. At this time of the year, there was no farm work, and there were more people going up to the mountains to hunt. Therefore, Lin Zhu saw several people selling wild products, but because she arrived late
After a while, many people were sold out. It was true that they came here in joy and returned in despair. Just when the disappointed Lin Zhu was about to turn around and leave, a middle-aged man dressed as a hunter arrived carrying a prey that looked like a sheep but not a sheep.
At the vegetable market, he put the prey on the ground, and people around him came to look at it, "Hey, what a big roe deer!" Someone was already shouting. After hearing this, Lin Zhu also squeezed over to take a look. She remembered
I have heard people say before that the meat of roe deer is tender and delicious, rich in nutrients, and has no fat on the whole body. It also has the effects of warming the spleen and stomach, strengthening the heart and lungs, removing dampness and prolonging life. Its skin is also very precious. Lin Zhu thinks this is a good opportunity.
, buying it as a New Year gift would be very suitable not only for Dr. Zhang, but also for giving some to Mrs. Li's family and the Wang family. Moreover, the roe deer looks very big, so she can also keep some for herself.
Because the middle-aged Orion came a little late, the crowd was just watching the fun. Although there were also people who wanted to buy, such a big head was not cheap at first sight, and the Orion would definitely not sell it separately, so for a while
At the end of the game, Lin Zhu squeezed in front of the hunter and asked him, "Uncle, how do you sell this roe deer?" The hunter knew that he had missed the good opportunity to sell the prey in the morning, and was secretly worried. He was thinking of sending it to a restaurant in the town if it didn't work out.
, although the price given was low, it was better than not being able to sell it, and besides, his family was still waiting for money. Suddenly I heard someone asking about the price, and I felt happy. When I looked up, I saw that it was a child, and I was a little unhappy, thinking that it was a child.
He was asking for fun. "Little girl, don't make trouble. If you want, call your adults." He waved his hand, "Why are you crowding here as a child? Go find your family members quickly." People around
It was the same as Orion's idea. Lin Zhu was very depressed and thought to himself, "Why are you still selling things with this vision? Who really wants to buy can't see clearly. If I don't buy it, why should I ask you what the price is? It's not a blind man lighting a lamp in vain."
Wax?
No matter what the people around him said, Lin Zhu still insisted on asking Orion the price of the roe deer. Orion suddenly felt that she did not look like a troublemaker, so he said to her, "This roe deer weighs more than sixty kilograms. If you want it, take it for a tael of silver."
." Before Lin Zhu could react, the expressions of the people around him changed a little when they heard the price. No one spoke for a while. After a while, someone said, "This is too expensive. It's even as high as the price of pork."
"It's over." Orion's face also looked a little bad. He asked for a higher price, but he could still bargain. But if you didn't buy it and interrupted, it seemed like he was bullying a child and deliberately raised the price. He glared hard.
He glanced at the person who spoke, then looked at Lin Zhu. Seeing that she didn't speak, he felt a little nervous.
Lin Zhu thought for a moment. She was not like people nowadays who think the price must be lower than pork because the roe deer is wild. People just put in the effort to bring it. On the contrary, she thinks the price is very cheap. But
She didn't know how to butcher, which was a bit troublesome. She stared at the roe deer and shook her head. Just when Orion thought she didn't want it anymore after listening to the man's words, Lin Zhu said to him, "Uncle, if I buy it
, can you help clean it up?"
Orion, who had no hope at first, was stunned for a moment when she heard what she said, but he soon came to his senses. This kid wanted to buy it, and he didn't bargain. So he nodded quickly, "Okay, okay, okay, I'll pack it for you."
." After Lin Zhu paid the money, Orion borrowed a sharp knife from the Xiangshu pork stall and quickly peeled off the skin of the roe deer and then cleaned the internal organs. It was obvious that he was an experienced hand. In less than half an hour, the whole roe deer was gone.
Everything was packed up. Lin Zhu asked him to take the roe deer to Lin Dazhu's bullock cart, and he happily agreed.
Seeing the two people leaving, the onlookers also dispersed, and they all felt that Lin Zhu had suffered a loss. But this kind of thing is a matter of one's own will, and it all depends on one's own free will.
Before leaving the vegetable market, he saw another fish seller, including large carp, silver carp, and small crucian carp. After asking the price, carp cost ten cents per catty and crucian carp three cents per catty, so Lin Zhu bought it again.
Four larger carp and five or six small crucian carp cost a total of one hundred and fifty coins. The hunter who was following her was very strange when he saw that she was so lavish with money despite being a small person, and he could not help but think a little.
He thought there was something wrong with her money source, but he didn't say anything and followed her silently. It wasn't until Lin Zhu said this that he let go of the roe deer that had been holding on his shoulders. Lin Zhu asked the hunter to put the roe deer on Lin Dazhu's cow.
In the car, Lin Dazhu was sitting at a tea stall not far away. Seeing Lin Zhu coming, he quickly walked closer and said, "Xiao Zhu, what good things did you buy?" "Brother Dazhu, come and see, this is me.
I just bought it." Lin Zhu pointed at the roe deer and said. Lin Dazhu was about to say something when he suddenly looked at the familiar figure of the man moving the roe deer. "Isn't this Uncle Liu?" Lin Dazhu patted the hunter on the arm.
The hunter put down the roe deer and turned around to look. He knew this person, Lin Dazhu from Linjia Village. "It's your boy, you're here to go to the market too." Seeing that the two of them knew each other, Lin Zhu stopped talking and let the two of them greet each other. Listen.
After a while, I realized that the hunter’s name was Liu Chunshan, and he was from Xiaoliuzhuang. He was from the same village as Liu Qiucui, the eldest daughter-in-law of Li’s daughter-in-law. She went hunting during the off-season. She had rich experience and was a good hunter. This year
In order to save money for his son to get married, he was even more busy. Lin Dazhu had also gone hunting before, so the two met and gradually became familiar with each other.
Seeing the two people sitting at the tea stall talking, Lin Zhu didn't follow. He stayed alone by the bullock cart. He bought two buns from the bun seller next to him and ate them in small bites as they were freshly released from the basket.
Because he knew Lin Dazhu, and heard from him that Lin Zhu was also from Linjia Village, and that she had a good relationship with Lin Changqing's family, the village chief of Linjia Village, Liu Chunshan also gave up his doubts about Lin Zhu.
Lin Dazhu talked for a while and then left.
