Chapter 3423: The Extra Chapter 2
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang fetched a bucket of water.
Zhou Man took the other side of the barrel and walked out with Bai Shan. "Let's go. I'm hungry. Let's go back and ask Xibing to make something delicious."
Bai Erlang and Yin Huo carried another bucket. Mingda was very curious about it, so he insisted on carrying it for a while, and a lot of water spilled out.
When they returned to the house, Bai Erlang and his friends only had half of their bucket of water left.
Zhou Man was very impressed. "How did you do it? At least two-thirds are left."
Mingda smiled sheepishly, and Bai Erlang asked, "Why don't you just carry it on your shoulder? It's easy to spill if you carry it."
Bai Shan: "Because you want to carry it."
Shirojiro:......
Yin Huo wrung his wet sleeves and said nonchalantly, "Go change your clothes. We have friends coming from afar. I'm very happy today. Let's have a drink at noon."
Zhou Man's spirits lifted as he thought of the plum wine he could never finish. He immediately nodded, "Yes, let's drink today."
Unfortunately, the wine was not finished in the end. Mingda and Bai Erlang were only willing to drink one glass and refused to drink any more.
Zhou Man could only put away the remaining wine with regret. Seeing her disappointment, Bai Shan said, "Why don't you take the wine with you next time you go to the market? Maybe you can sell it?"
Zhou Man cheered up, "That's a good idea."
Bai Erlang asked, "Is the market here well stocked?"
Zhou Man: "It's just so-so. It's more complete than Dali Village, after all, it's a town, but it's not completely complete."
Bai Erlang was curious, "How much money did you make?"
Zhou Man, Bai Shan and Yin Huo were all silent.
Bai Erlang looked at this and that, as if realizing something, "You guys... didn't make a penny, did you?"
Yin Huo: "I've never set up a stall at a market like this before, so I gave it a try out of curiosity. The most important thing is to participate."
Bai Erlang asked Bai Shan and Zhou Man, "What about you?"
They have a lot of experience.
Bai Shan said: "Life is long, why rush so much? Just go with the flow and be happy."
Bai Erlang curled his lips in disdain. "To put it bluntly, it just can't be sold. Are you pricing it too high?"
Zhou Man said: "My herbs are already very cheap, and they are all prepared. They are much cheaper than those sold in pharmacies. It's a pity that they don't know the herbs, so they can't be sold."
"Who would buy medicine on the street for no reason?" Bai Erlang was curious. "Why can't we sell game?"
Bai Shan spread his hands and said, "Maybe it's because I'm stuck between the two of them. If they can't sell their things, then mine naturally can't be sold either."
"Then why are you still standing among them?"
"What does it matter?" Bai Shan said nonchalantly, "Anyway, there are many of us and not much game, so we can always finish it."
To put it bluntly, they are just looking for an excuse to set up stalls at the market, not really for the purpose of making money.
Mingda liked their state very much and was eager to try it out. "I want to go to the next meeting too."
Zhou Man agreed immediately.
So the villagers in the village discovered that there were two more idiots setting up stalls.
Although the location they occupied was not very good, the stall with five small stools lined up in a row took up quite a lot of space, which was... very eye-catching.
After two such attempts, someone finally came up to them and said, "My dear, my dear, you won't be able to sell anything by setting up your stall like this. You need to shout."
Mingda and Bai Erlang looked up, confused at the old man in front of them, not understanding what he said.
Bai Shan smiled slightly and replied in a somewhat awkward dialect, "It's okay. Customers who need it will come to us. Besides, they may not understand us even if we shout."
Bai Erlang finally realized, "They don't speak Mandarin."
Mingda: "No wonder you didn't shout."
Zhou Man shook his head. "Not really. We've been here for so long. Although we still can't speak many words, we still know the dialect for shouting. The main reason we don't shout is that we don't want to speak."
But it was rare for someone to come up and talk to them, so Zhou Man simply pulled his father-in-law aside and said, "Father-in-law, every time I go to the market, I see you eating at the bun shop across the street. Don't you cook lunch at home?"
The old man barely understood her distorted dialect and pointed to the bun shop and replied, "My daughter's house."
When Zhou Man heard this, he clapped his hands and smiled, "So it's the father-in-law who owns the bun shop. Your son-in-law's cooking skills are pretty good. Every time I come down the mountain, I always buy his buns..."
The two chatted back and forth in their dialect, and the old man learned that Zhou Man and his companions were tourists from the capital, who had come to stay for a while because they thought the scenery was beautiful.
Zhou Manzhe knew that he had six daughters but no sons. His daughters were all married nearby, so he would go to one of his daughters' homes for dinner once a month. Among them, he liked to come to his sixth daughter's home the most because his sixth son-in-law was the best cook and would not go short of food and drink.
Yin Huo sat aside and stared blankly. Although he was already familiar with Zhou Man's...friendliness, he was still stunned to see her getting along with others so easily.
Bai Shan also retracted his slightly surprised look, took a pancake from Yin Huo's stall, tore it open, and gave half to Zhou Man and the old man respectively.
So the two of them chatted even more excitedly while holding the halved cake.
Finally, Zhou Man took the opportunity to recommend his medicinal herbs. "These herbs are all from the mountains. The weather is getting colder now. I think the temperature will drop soon. Do you want to buy some herbs to keep warm?"
"This is Astragalus, this is Atractylodes, and this is Saposhnikovia. They have all been processed. Take them home and boil them in water to drink. It can prevent epidemics." Winter is approaching, and when the weather gets cold, more people will sneeze and cough. This medicine is used for prevention and is also very effective in the early stages of an illness.
Zhou Man dug a lot of medicinal herbs from the mountains, but most of those on the stall can be made into prescriptions, so that when people come to buy medicine, she can help them prepare the prescriptions. Otherwise, who would buy a single medicine except for people in the pharmacy?
What a pity, the old man was determined not to be fooled. Why would he buy medicine when there were so many other things he could buy?
But they had been chatting for so long that they had become somewhat familiar with each other, and he had eaten half of the other person's cake, so it seemed wrong not to buy anything. So he looked around and finally pointed at the wild rabbit in front of Bai Erlang and the cake in front of Yin Huo and said, "How about I buy these two."
Bai Erlang perked up, glanced at Bai Shan, and burst into laughter. He picked up the wild rabbit and stuffed it into the old man's hand, "I'll give it to you at a discount. Just... twenty cents."
Such a fat wild rabbit, and it even has fur, twenty cents is indeed a bargain, the old man smiled happily.
This morning, in order to ensure that the stalls in front of Bai Erlang and Mingda were not empty, Bai Shan specially gave him a wild rabbit: ...
Yin Huo's expression was also a little blank. He had been setting up a stall here for almost a month and had never opened it once. Now... he opened it for business out of nowhere?
See you tomorrow
