Although it was not Niu Dadu's first time going to the market, it was his first time carrying these things to sell. Seeing the crowds on both sides of the street, he could only look at his daughter for help.
Niu Caohua didn't notice his father's request for help. Instead, he looked around with interest.
There are many kinds of things sold in the market, most of them are edible, flying in the sky, running on the ground, there are all kinds of things, there are even a few wild ducks on the coarse cloth stalls in front of people, with their feet and wings tied, they are desperate. He was lying down, and when he was picked up and looked at, he screamed twice to indicate that he was still alive.
Taking advantage of the young man, Niu Caohua leaned over and listened to a few words, then stepped back with a grin on his face.
No wonder so many people see this duck but no one buys it. It’s really because the price is too expensive.
A wild duck costs 200 coins.
This black-skinned guy smiled with an honest face, but he didn't expect that he turned out to be a profiteer.
According to current prices, one penny can buy two eggs. In other words, a duck is worth four hundred eggs, which is extremely expensive.
Niu Caohua took his father around the market and found out all about the prices here.
This hare and pheasant is not a rare thing. After all, there are many mountains here and there are many hunters. People often carry large quantities of prey to sell in the market.
Pheasants are generally thirty cents each, and hares are more expensive, priced around eighty cents each.
After knowing the price, Niu Caohua stopped lingering here and took Niudu in another direction.
The market is only a small part of this place. On another bustling street, there are restaurants and shops and other shops. The rich families in the town live there, and even the town's yamen is there.
Niu Dadu was dragged here. He looked at the high-walled compound around him. All the people were dressed in beautiful clothes. Only the two of them were gray-haired. They wanted to bury their heads directly at the ground, looking like they were shrinking.
"Dad, please raise your head, let's go to the restaurant."
Seeing his father like this, Niu Caohua sighed inwardly, but he also knew that there was nothing he could do about it.
The cities she had seen in her previous life were countless times more prosperous than this one, and the crowds she had seen were countless. It was like traveling, and the scene was nothing compared to this one.
But Niu Dadu is different. He has lived in a barren mountain village all his life. He can probably count the people he knows on one hand, and he is seriously afraid of society.
Niu Dadu reluctantly raised his head, and then saw the eyes looking around him. As if he had been stung by something, his head lowered instantly: "Caohua, I, I, I..."
The sound was in his mouth, and if Cow Caohua hadn't been so close, he wouldn't have known what his father was talking about.
"Dad, please hold me." Niu Caohua sighed inwardly and led his father to the door of a restaurant.
"Jufulou" has three shining golden traditional Chinese characters.
It was morning, and there were not many customers in the restaurant. There was only a waiter standing at the door to solicit customers, with a smile on his face.
But when he saw the cow grass flowers and the cow's belly, his expression changed instantly, but when he saw there were people around him, he still managed to maintain a smile.
"Go, go, you two beggars, stay away. We are not a charity, and we have nothing to give you." The waiter quickly approached, covering his nose with his hands, and scolded in a low voice.
Beggar?
Niu Caohua took a look at what she was wearing. Although it was made of coarse linen, the clothes were a little too small, and they were patched, but at least they were washed clean, and even her hair was dry and not greasy at all.
Looking at his father, it's the same.
Why are you being treated like a beggar!
The waiter in this shop looks down upon others!
"We are here to sell things, not beggar." Niucaohua said nicely.
After all, I am here to sell things, at least now I don't want to make matters worse.
Seeing that these two beggars didn't want to leave and even wanted to go into the restaurant, the waiter couldn't hold back the smile on his face and showed an impatient look.
"Selling things? Who are you bluffing? You look so poor. Get away from me."
As soon as she heard this, Niu Caohua's anger rose instantly. She pulled her father and walked into the restaurant. The waiter stretched out his hand to stop him, but she pushed him away gently.
"I want to see, is this restaurant of yours made of gold? We come here to sell things with nice words, but you don't want to accept us, but you even call us beggars. Are you here, the shopkeeper? Come out and answer us." Cowgrass Flower walked inside and shouted loudly.
Niu Dadu tried to pull his daughter back, but he couldn't pull her back at all. Instead, his daughter's hand squeezed tightly and led him into the restaurant.
There were no customers in the restaurant at this time, only a few waiters were cleaning. When they saw this, they quickly called the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was taking stock of the items in the store, and when he heard the sound coming from the door, he hurried out without caring about anything else.
"Sir, what can I do for you?" The shopkeeper was plump and fair, with a smile on his face and was very amiable.
"Are you the shopkeeper of this store?" Niu Caohua asked.
"Yes, yes, my surname is Wu, and I am the shopkeeper of this restaurant. What happened?" Although shopkeeper Wu asked Niu Caohua, his eyes glanced at the waiter beside him.
The waiter had just stopped Niu Caohua, but was pushed far away by a strong force. Now he still looked in disbelief. After receiving the inquiring look from the shopkeeper, he opened his mouth and was about to speak.
"Your store is bullying the owner. We are here to sell things, but the waiter thought we were beggars without asking anything. He kicked us out and pushed us. It was a bully! Everyone passing by the door saw it. "Niu Caohua spoke first.
At this time, many onlookers had gathered in front of the store, all coming to watch the fun.
After hearing Niu Caohua's words, they nodded seriously.
One of the young men, dressed in white and waving a folding fan, still said, "This little girl is right. Shopkeeper, you, the waiter, have a pair of snobbish eyes."
"Although the clothes of the father and daughter are a little shabby, they are clean and fresh, but they don't look like beggars at all."
"good."
"Yes."
"Xiao An, is that true?" The shopkeeper already believed it, but he still looked at his nephew expectantly.
"I, I...Uncle, I was wrong, wuwuwu..." That was the fact. Being watched by so many people, Xiao An could only cover his face, his voice was choked, and he turned and ran away. .
"I'm sorry, this little girl, and this big brother, I'm really sorry. It's Xiao An who is ignorant and misunderstood you two. I'm here to apologize to you two on his behalf." The shopkeeper originally said blankly. Most of his face was now darkened, but he still managed to smile, apologizing to Cow Grass Flower and Cow Pot Belly.
Niu Caohua thought to herself: It turns out that he is a relative of the shopkeeper. No wonder the waiter in this shop has eyes on the top of his head, but he still has to sell his own things.
