Meng Shijie thought that he still had to buy vegetables today, so he asked Yongxing to drive his own horse-drawn carriage with him, and he still drove the ox cart.
Because they needed to buy vegetables, the eldest son of the Zhou family finally drove a ox cart and came to the town with them.
When the three men were about to leave the mountain road, they walked to the place where they were followed by several robbers yesterday and took a look.
There was no one on the ground anymore, and even the traces of yesterday's fight were covered by thick snow.
"Is it possible that they are all dead and buried in the snow?"
Meng Shijie thought about pulling out his wooden stick and scratching the white snow, scratching it all over the place, but he still couldn't find anyone.
"It seems he is not dead."
Normally, there are almost no people coming and going in this area.
Especially now that it is snowing so heavily, hardly anyone goes out.
They came out to the provincial capital yesterday, and there were only a few of them along the way.
When I got back, I didn't see anyone else except those robbers.
The snow is so thick today that even fewer people are coming out.
Anyway, I haven't seen any other figures so far.
So it’s impossible that those people were discovered and rescued by someone. They could have woken up and left on their own.
"I don't know where they are from, and whether I will meet them again today."
Zhou Jia Dalang still felt a little scared when he thought about what happened yesterday.
"Who cares? If those people dare to chase me again today, I will either beat them to death or break their legs."
Zhou Jia Dalang saw that Meng Shijie spoke very casually and felt that he was capable of doing it.
Seeing that there is the powerful Yongxing following him, he is not so worried anymore.
After the three of them entered the city, Meng Shijie thought about the bean sprouts he brought with him and decided that they should go to the vegetable market first to buy some vegetables, and then see if he could sell the bean sprouts, and then go to the grain shop.
Yongxing and Zhou Jiadalang had no objection.
They had already inquired about the vegetable market yesterday and went there directly.
Luzhou City is not a small place. The vegetable market they found was a special vegetable market set up by the government. There was also a shed built by the government, so they would not get wet even on windy and rainy days.
There are quite a lot of people inside.
"Brother Meng and Brother Zhou, you guys go in and buy first. I'll be looking at cars outside."
Yongxing offered to stay and watch the cart. Their two cows and one horse were still pulling the cart, and it couldn't be lost.
There is a place to store things in the city, but it costs ten cents an hour, which is too expensive.
If you add a little more, you can buy a pound of meat.
"Okay, please wait, we will be out soon."
Meng Shijie didn't bother to be polite with him. He handed him the reins and went into the vegetable market with Zhou Jia Dalang.
Meng Shijie took a look at the people selling vegetables and found that most of them were from wealthy families.
Because they bought a lot, there were several young men dressed like servants from wealthy families, carrying baskets of vegetables in and out.
There is a row of vendors at the entrance of the greenhouse. Most of them are wearing patched clothes. They should be farmers from the surrounding area who come here to sell vegetables.
There was an old lady with half-white hair, wearing a straw raincoat, sitting in front of a small pile of white radishes and cabbages.
The white radish is quite white and plump, and there are some insect holes on the cabbage leaves.
When the old lady saw Meng Shijie looking at her, she immediately smiled.
"Do you want radish, little brother?
This radish is very juicy. I grew it myself.
And this cabbage is also good. Even though it has some worm holes, it tastes really sweet.”
"How much are these vegetables per pound?"
Meng Shijie didn't want to buy anything from this stall at first, but seeing the lady's flattering smile, he asked.
"Both radish and cabbage are the same price, one penny per pound."
"If I buy all of this from you, give it to me at a discount."
When the old lady heard that Meng Shijie wanted to buy something, she smiled and immediately wanted to weigh it for him.
But when I heard him say he had bought them all, I thought I had heard it wrong.
My hands were shaking with excitement.
"What did you say you wanted to buy everything?"
"Yes, I bought all of yours. Can you give me a discount?"
Meng Shijie said it again, a little impatiently, because he still had to think about selling bean sprouts quickly.
“Yes, yes, yes!
If you buy all of these at once, all the vegetables will cost four cents and five pounds!"
The old lady gritted her teeth and gave such a favorable price.
She looked at the snow outside and realized it was really cold sitting here.
If someone bought all of these at once, he wouldn't have to sit here any longer.
Meng Shijie nodded and asked everyone to weigh all the dishes.
When the old lady was weighing the vegetables, she saw Meng Shijie go to ask the vegetable stall next door. She was a little worried that Meng Shijie didn't want his vegetables, so she moved faster.
Zhou Jia Dalang was also asking those who set up stalls how much their vegetables were sold for. He had asked everything, and they knew that radishes and cabbages were all sold for one penny per pound.
There were no other vegetables, just radishes, cabbages, and at most some mustard greens and garlic sprouts.
However, the garlic sprouts don’t look very good, they should be winter garlic sprouts, but it’s good to have them. The variety of vegetables here is much greater than that in Taiyuan Prefecture.
Meng Shijie was planning to buy out all the stalls because they sold their wares cheaply.
Zhou Jia Dalang came over with a look of surprise.
"Second brother Meng, there's a place selling bean sprouts over there, and they're not cheap, only three cents a pound."
Meng Shijie didn't bother to negotiate the price with the vendors, and quickly followed Zhou Jia Dalang's instructions and went to the stall selling bean sprouts.
When I looked over, I saw that the stall only sold one vegetable, bean sprouts, nothing else.
There were a lot of them piled up, and quite a few people bought them.
