He must be missing his parents. Well, he is such a young kid, he must be missing his parents.
"Stepmother, let's go to the West Market."
"Okay." He slowly went to the West Market, found an open space and started to put his things down. After a while, a man wearing government clothes and a sword on his waist came over.
"You're new here, right? The stall fee is 12 cents a day. How many days do you need to pay?" He looked at Lin Shuang and the children with interest. It seemed that they were not having a good time either.
"Can I give it to you later? Don't worry, I won't run away."
Lin Shuang was really embarrassed. She finally realized that those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. After what happened just now, she found that her skin was getting thicker and thicker.
Xiao Ce looked back at Lin Shuang, thinking she would ask him for money again. He clutched the worn purse in his hand, his heart tightening slightly.
"Okay, it's not easy for you guys, I'll come back later."
Lin Shuang watched the constable getting later and later, turned around, looked at Xiao Ce and said: "Rabbit is 20 wen a pound, wild boar meat is not as delicious as domestic pork, so it's 12 wen."
Pork in the town costs fifteen cents. Rabbits are hard to catch, and although they are a kind of wild game that tastes good, they are also quite expensive.
Xiao Wangshu and Xiao Nanxin followed the two of them, not walking around aimlessly, but just looking around curiously.
After a while, someone came over and looked at it, "How much are you selling your rabbit for?"
The visitor was an aunt with a kind face and a somewhat plump body. She looked like she was living a good life. As soon as she arrived, she took a fancy to a fat rabbit and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
"Twenty cents each." Lin Shuang's voice sounded in his ears.
"What? Twenty cents? Isn't that a bit expensive?"
When the aunt heard that it cost twenty cents per pound, she was unhappy. Pork was only fifteen cents per pound, and rabbit cost twenty cents per pound. It would be better to eat pork.
"Sister, my rabbits are lively and active, they're game. You know rabbits are very cunning. It took me a lot of effort to catch them, and my knees were bruised. They taste completely different from pork."
"You're quite right. How much does this one weigh?" the aunt said, pointing to the rabbit she had just taken a fancy to, with a wider smile on her face.
She has grandchildren, but they still call her sister. Her words are so sweet.
Lin Shuang grabbed the rabbit that the aunt liked and weighed it. It was about 5 kilograms, which was considered big.
"Five catties, one hundred coins. How about this, since you have a good face, I'll give you a catty of wild boar meat. Xiao Ce, cut a catty of wild boar meat."
"Great." Xiao Ce was so happy to see that his stepmother was sold so quickly that he forgot about the unpleasant incident just now.
Xiao Wangshu also helped to put on the meat, while Xiao Nanxin was making the aunt laugh.
"Aunt, this meat is delicious. I ate it yesterday. It was so fragrant."
"Hahaha, you are such a smart girl. I could be your grandmother at my age. My grandson is three years old, and you don't look that old either."
The aunt laughed heartily. Which woman doesn't like being called young?
"I'm five years old." Xiao Nanxin blinked his big watery eyes, which made his aunt like him so much that she wanted to take him home.
"Just call me Grandma Wang. It would be a joke if you really called me Auntie." Aunt Wang touched Xiao Nanxin's head lovingly.
"Okay, Grandma Wang." Xiao Nanxin called out obediently, which made Aunt Wang, who loved cute children, very happy. She kept saying that she would come to buy it next time.
"By the way, how much is this wild boar meat per pound?" Aunt Wang was happy, and the wild boar meat on the stall looked good.
"Twelve cents a pound, fresh. This wild boar is not easy to hunt. Although the meat is a little less fat, it is still meaty."
"Yes, give me two pounds." Aunt Wang saw that the wild boar meat was indeed fresh, and there were many people in the family, so she might as well buy more.
"Okay." Lin Shuang cut two pounds of meat. Xiao Ce was catching a rabbit.
"elder sister……"
Before Lin Shuang finished speaking, she was interrupted by Aunt Wang, "Oh, you are really a little girl. I am already this old, so just call me Aunt Wang."
"Okay, Aunt Wang, here are the two pounds of wild boar meat you bought. This pound is a gift from me. Here, this is a rabbit. Its four legs have been tied up to prevent it from running away."
"Oh, you're so polite. Thank you very much." Aunt Wang smiled with wrinkles all over her face.
"Don't be so polite, Aunt Wang. Next time I won't sell these. I'll sell some food I make. You can come and have a look when you have time." Lin Shuang said politely. It was obvious that Aunt Wang was very easy to talk to.
"Okay, what's your name?"
"My name is Lin Shuang, you can just call me by my name."
"Okay, Lin Shuang, I'll come and support you when you make something delicious."
"OK."
After Aunt Wang left, a few more people came, and each of them bought some more or less.
"Young lady, how much are your wild boar meat and rabbits?" Lin Shuang looked up at him when she heard the voice of the person coming.
The middle-aged man in front of him was wearing dark blue clothes, with a jade pendant hanging around his waist, and a shrewd look in his eyes.
"Wild boar meat is twelve cents per pound, and rabbit is twenty cents per pound." Lin Shuang looked at the man in front of him, who was dressed in fine clothes, and knew at a glance that it was a big customer.
"They look good. I want them all." The middle-aged man took a look and found them all very fresh. He nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay, here are three rabbits and some wild boar meat. That's about one ounce of silver and three hundred coins."
When the middle-aged man heard this, he took out a silver lump from his purse and said, "No need to change."
The shopkeeper knew at a glance that the young woman in front of him must be very capable, as she could catch these rabbits alive and cook pork. Although she looked only about seventeen or eighteen years old, he didn't know how she gave birth to such a big child.
I glanced at the children behind Lin Shuang, especially Xiao Ce, who looked to be about eight or nine years old. This was other people's business, so why should I care?
Lin Shuang's smile widened upon hearing this. "Sir, should I send it over now or..."
"No need, I brought people." Su Fengyuan waved his hand, "Come here and take all these back."
"Yes, boss." Several waiters immediately came forward to take the pork and rabbits.
Xiao Wangshu and Xiao Nanxin were very happy. They thought their stepmother was so capable that she sold all of them at once and made so much money. Now they had enough money to buy food to take home, so they wouldn't have to go hungry.
"My dear, next time you have such fresh prey, just send it directly to Guangjinlou across the street. I am the owner of this restaurant." Su Fengyuan said politely to Lin Shuang, who had an outstanding temperament.
"Boss, I'm so sorry. I'm a woman with several children. If life at home wasn't so difficult, I wouldn't risk my life to go hunting in the deep mountains. I don't plan to make a living by hunting in the future."
