Chapter 11: Rural Wife in the 1990s 10



Of course, the big girl and the second girl were sleeping, while she herself was meditating and practicing.

Nothing happened that night. Early the next morning, Meng Changjin took Da Niu and Er Niu to the market to sell rabbits and pheasants.

She had the client's memory and knew the route to the market, so she took the two girls, Big Girl and Little Girl, and walked and stopped on their way to the market.

Cars and motorcycles passed by them from time to time on the road, and Meng Changjin couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Meng Changjin found something he wanted to take away.

She is very interested in this kind of transportation.

Of course, there is no rush. The client's memory about these means of transportation tells her that she simply cannot afford such means of transportation now.

In addition, this type of transportation requires special energy. If you bring one means of transportation and one portion of this energy, you will use up exactly the amount needed to carry two things.

The big girl and the second girl watched Meng Changjin always staring at the cars and motorcycles. Then they remembered what Meng Changjin said last night that he would take them away, so they also started staring at the cars and motorcycles coming and going.

As they were watching, a motorcycle stopped next to them, and the driver of the car asked loudly, "Are you going to the market? Do you want a ride?"

Meng Changjin looked at the motorcycle closely and shook his head.

"I'll charge you five dollars for bringing two little girls. It takes nearly two hours to walk from here to the market." The man on the motorcycle was soliciting business for himself.

When he heard about the money, Meng Changjin refused even more firmly: "No, I don't have money."

The man on the motorcycle didn't say anything else after hearing this, but he put his legs back on the ground and rode away on the motorcycle.

Meng Changjin felt helpless when she saw the other party walk away with a faded smile after hearing her say that he had no money. Did she want to leave for nearly two hours?

She didn't want to either, but she had no choice. She was poor and didn't have a penny. How could she take a ride? It turned out that money was very important in any world.

Meng Changjin took Da Niu and Er Niu with him, walking and stopping along the way. After walking for about an hour, they saw the shadow of the market not far ahead.

It seems that in order to attract passengers, the owner of the motorcycle was exaggerating a bit.

The closer you get, the more you can feel the liveliness of the market. There are a lot of people, and shops on both sides of the main street, selling everything.

Meng Changjin, holding a little one in each hand, walked towards a street that the client remembered was used to sell vegetables.

It was also the first time for the eldest and second girls to come to such a lively place. Their little hands tightly grasped Meng Changjin's big hands, fearing that they would get lost in the crowd if they let go.

Meng Changjin took Da Niu and Er Niu to a vegetable street, and as soon as they walked in, they saw two meat stalls.

Meng Changjin looked at two stall owners selling meat separately, and finally chose one who looked richer and kinder, and asked him if he wanted wild rabbits and pheasants.

The main reason why this stall owner looks so wealthy is because he loves to eat, so when he heard Meng Changjin say there were wild rabbits and pheasants, he was really excited.

Seeing that he was moved, Meng Changjin asked Da Niu and Er Niu to let go of her hands and stand beside her. Then she put down the backpack and lifted the bamboo cover on it to show it to the meat stall owner.

The pheasants and hares were all very lively.

"How much is it?" the butcher asked the price, already having a plan in mind.

"Brother, if you want all of them, even at a cheap price, you can keep them for yourself or sell them to make a profit from the difference, you will definitely not lose money." Meng Changjin knew that the price would be higher if sold individually, but she didn't want to waste her time on this.

The meat stall owner did not directly say that he wanted all, but first asked about the price of all and individual purchases.

Meng Changjin had already decided on the price on the way, so he quickly reported it to the meat stall owner.

If you want all of them, the rabbit will cost 20 yuan each, and the pheasant will also cost 20 yuan. Five rabbits plus a pheasant will cost a total of 120 yuan. If you buy them individually, each one will cost 25 yuan.

After hearing the price, the butcher thought about it for a moment, then readily offered to buy them all.

First of all, he was indeed craving for wild rabbit meat. Secondly, if he bought the rabbits at this price and then processed and sold them, he could definitely make nearly ten dollars per rabbit. No matter how you look at it, it was a sure-win deal.

The deal was done. Meng Changjin took out the hares with tied legs from the basket one by one and gave them to the butcher. The butcher also took out a hundred-dollar bill and a twenty-dollar bill and gave them to Meng Changjin.

Meng Changjin took the money and verified its authenticity in front of the butcher stall owner. She did it openly and the butcher stall owner didn't think there was anything wrong with her doing so.

When it comes to buying and selling, it's only right to be cautious.

After making sure that the money was fine, Meng Changjin folded the money twice and stuffed it into his pocket. Then he put on the backpack, said hello to the butcher and prepared to leave.

"Next time if you have this kind of good stuff, you can come and see me." The meat stall owner said with a smile.

Meng Changjin nodded, understanding what the other party meant.

He said to go and have a look at it, but he didn't say whether he wanted to buy it or not. I guess he will have to wait and see the quality of the items, or see if he can sell them for a good price.

After selling the hares and pheasants, Meng Changjin temporarily escaped from the embarrassing situation of having his pockets cleaner than his face, but this was far from enough.

After taking Da Niu and Er Niu around the market from beginning to end, Meng Changjin knew that this was just a small market and things like the Peiyuan Pills prescription could not be sold here, or at least could not be sold at a good price.

Meng Changjin would not allow things to be ruined like this, so he had to earn more money and move to a more prosperous city.

With money in his pocket and the fact that it took a lot of energy to walk all the way to the market, Meng Changjin took the big girl and the second girl to find a place to eat.

There isn't even a decent restaurant in this market. Most of the shops sell fried chicken, noodles and wontons.

Meng Changjin took the big girl and the second girl into the store where there were not many people in the store.

After ordering three bowls of wontons with fresh meat, Meng Changjin led the eldest and second girls to sit down and wait for their wontons to be cooked.

The boss moved quickly. In just a few minutes, three bowls of wontons were brought to the table and placed in front of Meng Changjin and the other two.

The portion of wontons in a bowl seems to be quite good, with about twenty of them in the bowl.

The big girl and the second girl looked at the wontons in front of them, and then looked at Meng Changjin.

Meng Changjin took out two pairs of chopsticks from the chopstick holder on the side and handed them to the eldest and second girls respectively, saying with a smile, "Eat."

The eldest and second girls took the chopsticks, smiled shyly at Meng Changjin, and then started eating the wontons.

Meng Changjin also smiled, took out a pair of chopsticks from the chopstick holder, and started eating.

When Meng Changjin finished eating, Da Niu and Er Niu had not finished yet. In fact, she was only half full, but she did not ask for another bowl. She didn't have much money to begin with, and if she really let herself eat to her heart's content, this little money would not be enough for her to spend.
