Chapter 470: Mung Bean Bargaining

Jiang Hongyu talked about what he was thinking for half an hour. Ludou poked his head outside twice, but he pretended not to see it.

"Brother-in-law, are you done?" When Green Bean came to see for the third time, he knocked on the door directly.

"That's all." Jiang Hongyu realized he had been talking for a long time. He coughed and said calmly, "What do you want to see your sister about?"

"I want to go out and buy something?" Green Bean said with a smile: "Ruyi promised to make snacks for us."

"I'll go with you. There's nothing to do now." Jiang Hongyu was still a little worried. He thought about buying everything for them before leaving so that they would go out less.

Green Bean nodded: "I'll go tell everyone."

With Jiang Hongyu, Ye Lang stayed at home. Yunniang also said she didn't want to go, so she stayed at home to cook.

Jiang Hongyu and Ye Mingzhu, who were the last to go out, took Ye Yunan, Luodou and Ruyi to the street to buy things, while the others stayed at home to pack up and cook.

Ruyi's legs and feet are not very handy and she didn't want to go, but no one knew what materials she needed, so she had to buy them herself.

Ye Mingzhu knew that her situation was special, so she was very accommodating to her and slowed down her walking pace.

Ye Yun'an and Lu Dou walked very fast at first, but after a while they found that Ye Mingzhu and the others were walking behind them, so the two of them turned back and walked with everyone.

Ruyi said in a low voice a little embarrassedly: "Boss, I walk slowly, it's okay if you go first."

Ye Mingzhu smiled at her and said, "We are not familiar with this place, so we should walk slowly. It's a good opportunity to see if there is anything we need. Don't worry, there is no need to walk fast."

Ruyi was very grateful and she was no longer so panicked.

Ye Yun'an and Lu Dou walked with them for a while. The two winked at each other, and Lu Dou said to Ye Mingzhu, "Sister, we want to go take a look ahead."

Ye Mingzhu was a little worried, but Jiang Hongyu thought it was okay. The two of them practiced martial arts every day, so they could easily defeat an adult together. He said to Ye Yun'an, "Yun'an, keep an eye on Green Bean. Don't run too far. If anything happens, just yell for us."

"I know." Lu Dou shouted louder than Ye Yun'an, and the two of them ran forward excitedly.

Ye Mingzhu was a little worried at first, but the two men were very sensible. They ran a distance, looked around, and then stopped to wait for them.

"Don't worry, Yun'an and the other one are very sensible. Besides, they have been learning martial arts from Uncle Yan. As long as they don't meet anyone who knows martial arts, they won't be in danger. Besides, they are boys, and Yun'an is getting older. You have to learn to let go."

Jiang Hongyu persuaded indirectly.

Ye Mingzhu glanced at him sideways: "Do you think I'm doting on them too much?"

Jiang Hongyu said with a strong desire to survive: "That's not what I meant. I just want to leave soon and don't want them to mess up."

Ye Mingzhu blushed a little, glanced at Ruyi behind her, and whispered angrily, "What are you talking about?"

Jiang Hongyu smiled and said nothing else. He pointed at the small ornaments on the roadside and asked Ye Mingzhu to look at them.

Ye Mingzhu knew what he meant. She looked in front of her and saw that Ye Yun'an and the other man were indeed not in any danger, so she looked in the direction he pointed.

When the vendor saw them coming, he hurriedly recommended the things on his stall, but they were actually just some hand-woven and carved small ornaments.

Jiang Hongyu picked up a wooden carved pony and asked Ye Mingzhu, "Look at this pony. Isn't it interesting?"

The most unique thing about this pony is that it is painted with tung oil paint and has a red-dyed bell hanging in its nose.

When Lung Bean saw them stop, he ran over and took the pony from Jiang Hongyu's hand: "Brother-in-law, this pony is good. I can give it to my nephew to play with in the future."

The vendor quickly said, "I'm not bragging, but I'm the only one in our town who has this kind of craftsmanship. This is made by an experienced craftsman."

Ye Yun also thought it was good. He had never seen such a small ornament in Pinggu Town before. Of course, there were very few horses in Pinggu Town, so no one would think of carving wood into a pony.

Since all three agreed, Ye Mingzhu did not object and asked the vendor, "How much?"

The vendor looked at what they were wearing, rolled his eyes, and said through gritted teeth, "Fifty cents?"

"It's too expensive." It was Green Bean who spoke. He said with dissatisfaction: "Your little horse is just carved out of wood. The wood is not worth much. How can it be sold for fifty cents?"

The vendor looked at Jiang Hongyu and Ye Mingzhu, who were silent, wondering if they also thought it was too expensive. He could only explain with a bitter face: "Little brother, you don't know, everything here is carved by experienced craftsmen. Look, they are all painted with tung oil. They can be kept for many years and children won't hurt their hands when playing with them."

Green Bean took the pony and looked at it, then paused. "That's too expensive, maybe four or thirty cents?"

"No, no, no." The vendor shook his head like a rattle and said, "This price is not enough for me to collect."

Jiang Hongyu and Ye Mingzhu looked at each other and listened to the bargaining of mung beans with interest.

Ye Mingzhu really didn't know where Lu Dou, who came from a noble family, learned this bargaining method.

Seeing that Jiang Hongyu and Ye Mingzhu were silent, the peddler thought they did not agree with Luodou buying this thing, so he finally gritted his teeth and agreed to sell it to Luodou for thirty-five cents.

Green Bean looked at Ye Mingzhu first and said, "Sister, can I buy this pony and give it to my nephew?"

Although Ye Mingzhu felt that the price was a bit high, it was the price negotiated by Lu Dou himself. She counted out thirty-five cents and gave it to the vendor.

Green Bean happily held up the pony and said to Ye Yun'an, "This is a gift for my nephew."

Ye Yun'an glanced at Ye Mingzhu with a hint of resentment, and asked her to put the mung beans away first so as not to damage them.

Ye Mingzhu felt a little uneasy when Ye Yun'an looked at her. She asked Jiang Hongyu, "What does Yun'an mean?"

Jiang Hongyu suppressed his laughter and said, "Yun'an means to ask when we will give birth to his nephew?"

Ye Mingzhu was speechless. She turned around and asked, "So, Green Bean is also trying to urge us to have children?"

Jiang Hongyu couldn't help laughing.

Ye Mingzhu glared at him: "You are still laughing, these two naughty kids, asking everything."

Jiang Hongyu smiled and glanced at her: "Don't listen to them, let's have a baby in two years."

Ye Mingzhu really didn't want to discuss the issue of when to have a child with Jiang Hongyu. She gave him a reproachful look and quickly caught up with Ye Yun'an and Ludou. Jiang Hongyu smiled, shook his head, and followed them.

Ruyi followed behind, stopping only when passing by a grain store to buy some food, then went to the grocery store to buy some seasonings, and even went to the pharmacy to buy some medicinal herbs.

Ye Mingzhu looked at the things she bought and asked, "Are these all for making snacks?"

"No, some are for cooking. I bought too many, so others can't guess the snack recipes." Ruyi lowered her head and said softly.
