Han Du walked all the way and when he arrived at the West Market, he saw people crowded shoulder to shoulder. The noisy scene of the market suddenly hit us. There are salesmen selling goods, woodcutter carrying firewood across the street, and stalls selling various goods.
Although Han Du didn't buy it, he was very interested in it. It seems that under Lao Zhu's policy of resting with the people, the people's lives are pretty good.
Along the way, Han Jingyun was dazzled by what he saw, especially the places selling rouge, gouache, and hairpins for hair. He was sure to stop at each one. I picked them up over and over again and smiled happily when I saw them, but in the end I reluctantly put them back without buying any of them.
Han Du felt a little strange when he saw this, so he asked: "Since you like it, why don't you buy it?"
Han Jingyun blushed and shook her head desperately, as if she was trying to argue that she didn't like it. Seeing Han Du looking at her with a half-smile but not a smile, Xia Fei's face suddenly lit up and he said softly: "I like it, but~"
After biting her lip, the girl continued: "However, I don't have much money in my hand. I can only use it to buy groceries. I can't afford these."
After hearing this, Han Du lost all interest in shopping. Is your family so poor? I can't even afford a girl's hairpin...
But it was reasonable to think about it. The Han family had already suffered a great disaster, and all the valuable things in the house were looted. Fortunately, Mrs. Liu had the foresight to hide some money, so the Han family could barely survive.
However, Han Du spent more than 400 yuan to buy coal mines. Over the past few days, the Han family's expenses have become increasingly tight.
Han Du was also fined by Lao Zhu for half a year's salary, and he would not earn a penny in these few months.
The family's current embarrassment is actually closely related to Han Du, which made Han Du feel ashamed for a moment. Now Handu can only hope that the coal can be sold as soon as possible and generate some income.
Han Du came to buy groceries with his girl on a whim, but Han Du didn't expect that it would become proof that he was poor and short of breath.
Next, Han Du lowered his head and walked around the West Market with his sister, buying some radishes, leeks, tofu, etc. When he was about to go back, Han Du suddenly saw an old man passing by carrying a load of barrels.
Han Du saw the contents of the barrel clearly at a glance and quickly called to the old man, "Old man, wait a moment."
When Han Jingyun saw Han Du calling someone, he stopped and turned to look at him.
When the old man saw a young man calling him, he quickly put down the barrel, wiped the sweat on his arm, and asked: "Master, what do you want to do to stop the old man?"
Without saying anything, Han Du reached into the bucket and touched it.
Seeing this, the old man quickly advised: "Hey, yo, yo, young master, you can't do this, it will dirty your hands."
Han Du touched it and made sure that the bucket was filled with kelp. He didn't mind whether it was dirty or not. He shook off the water on his hands and asked, "How do you sell this thing?"
The old man felt embarrassed after hearing Han Du's words, "This young man was joking. This little old man picked this thing from the dock outside the North City Gate. It's just worthless to take home and use it to feed the pigs." .”
Pig, that is, pig.
After Lao Zhu became emperor, in order to avoid the taboo word "Zhu", the people called pigs "hogs".
Han Du waved his hand and said in a rude tone, "Don't talk nonsense. I just want to ask you how to sell this thing?"
At this time, other people around saw that there were still people who insisted on buying and selling other people's pig food, and they immediately gathered around them out of curiosity.
Sister Jingyun's face was red at this time, she was carrying the vegetables and quietly moved a few steps outside. For fear of being recognized, she came with Han Du.
It's so embarrassing. When I want to buy pig food on the street, no one else sells it, but Han Du insists on buying it.
The old man was also confused by Han Du. I had heard in the drama before that the princes and nobles' young masters were forced to buy and sell on the street, but they were all for relatively expensive things. The old man has never heard of people buying and selling pig food by force. Today he has gained some knowledge.
When the old man saw that Han Du's clothes were made of silk, he knew that this young master's family was probably from a family of officials. Not daring to offend him, I could only apologize and say with a smile: "What money are you talking about? Since the young master is interested in these worthless things, just take them."
People around him nodded and praised the old man's wise move.
Some pig food was just used to weigh down the bottom of the boat. The pig food cleared out by the boatmen was piled up everywhere on the dock. Let people pick and choose, and no one will care. The ones that have been left for a long time emit a foul odor that makes people avoid it even if they smell it from a distance.
No money, just get it for free?
After hearing this, Han Du frowned and said dissatisfied: "Do you think I am the kind of person who is domineering? Will I want everything from you? Just tell me a price, and I will buy it all for you if it suits you."
When the people around heard Han Du say this, they burst into laughter. The meaning is very obvious. This young master is really not that kind of playboy, but he just has an abnormal brain and insists on buying and selling other people's pig food.
Han Jingyun looked on, wanting to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. She didn't even dare to say a word, for fear of being recognized that she and Han Du were together.
It's not enough to give it away for free, you have to buy it with money. Han Du's words made the old man very embarrassed.
Seeing this, some people in the surrounding crowd booed, "Just sell it to him at any price. It's not a valuable thing anyway. At worst, you can just go and pick it out."
The old man thought about it. If the stalemate continued like this, it was not an option. He might as well just ask for a price. While it was still dark, he could run and pick up another load.
"Then young master, just give me a penny."
"One penny, okay." Han Du nodded and agreed, preparing to give the old man money. When he touched his body, he realized that he didn't have any money. Just when he was about to ask Jingyun for it, he looked up but didn't see Han Jingyun.
He had no choice but to say: "Well, I can't carry these things. How about I ask the old man to help me pick them up at home and give you the money?"
"No trouble, no trouble, the old man just listens to the young master." After saying that, the old man picked up the kelp and followed Han Du away.
Han Du left, but the crowd of spectators did not disperse.
Everyone is still thinking about Han Du's outrageous behavior just now.
"This young master doesn't look stupid. Why is he buying pig food?"
"Who knows? Maybe they have pigs in their homes?"
"Ha! You didn't even look at the clothes that young master was wearing. Do you think everyone is like you and needs to raise pigs at home?"
After a short discussion, after all, the protagonist Han Du was no longer around, and the crowd slowly dispersed.
