Jiang Yue's guess was reasonable: the unconcealable possessiveness towards his partner, the stronger sense of territory than before, the numbing skin hunger... everything fit the characteristics.
But this person's situation is rather special, and he himself doesn't know what's wrong with him.
Jiang Nian: Maybe I just love you too much...
Never mind, once he started eating meat, he couldn't tell which period it was. He was already sticky, and now it was even worse.
After staying at home for a month, Jiang Nian finally relaxed and the New Year was approaching.
Officials walked the streets, beating drums and gongs. "Starting tomorrow, there will be a three-day market in the city, located in the East and West Markets! Everyone, come to the market to barter and have a happy New Year!"
Jiang Yue was bored at home, so the next day she put on new clothes and pulled the reluctant Jiang Nian over, saying, "Let's go to the market!"
Jiang Nian was relaxed, but he had no interest in the market. "What's so good about shopping? I already have everything at home. It's cold outside, and you'll come back with cold hands and feet. You can't even warm them up."
Jiang Yue put on a scarf and pretended not to hear his muttering.
Arriving at the market, Jiang Yue just wanted to use an emoticon at this moment, "There are so many people!"
There were really a lot of people, some came alone, some came as a family, some set up stalls, some came with baskets to buy things, and some came with empty pockets just to join in the fun.
This was the ancient New Year's market, with people shoulder to shoulder.
More and more people are coming into the city, and it seems that people from the neighboring cities are also coming to join in the fun.
All kinds of handicrafts appeared, most of which were woven from rattan, bamboo, etc., which was not uncommon.
In order to suit the occasion, in the absence of red paper and red ink, some people used a red flower to hammer out the juice, dyed the vines red, and then weaved them into window grilles, which were quite popular.
After enough hard times, everyone wants to be happy, get rid of bad luck and welcome new hope.
In addition to these miscellaneous household items of the people, since this fair is led by the government, they will definitely bring out a lot of good things.
We gained a lot from suppressing the bandits. It is impossible to take out the gold, silver and treasures, but the rest can be taken.
The highlights were all there. There were not only cloth stalls, grain stalls, vegetable stalls, and salt stalls, but what surprised them the most was that there were also stalls selling eggs, chicks, and ducklings!
Jin Xiu has been in charge of raising chickens and ducks in the general's mansion for the past six months, and has hatched quite a few chickens.
The General's Mansion kept its promise and first distributed grain to the villagers of the former Changle Village, and also gave each household two pairs of male and female chicks.
Of the remaining items, most were now given to the people, and it was made clear that they could exchange them for grain, cloth, money, or even for daily necessities such as pottery jars.
A family can only exchange a pair of chicks and ducklings at most.
There's no other way. Right now, there's not enough, so we can only limit the purchase. In another six months, there will definitely be no shortage in the city.
The chirping sounds were so common. Although these were chicks, they were at least a month or two old. If they were properly cared for, they wouldn't die! The people were overjoyed! Those who could afford it rushed home to get something to trade.
In just a quarter of an hour, all the chicks and ducklings were replaced.
Due to the cold weather, several chickens in Jiang Yue's house died, leaving only forty chickens, two-thirds of which were hens.
Fewer eggs are laid in winter, but on average at least ten eggs are laid every day, which we won’t have enough time to eat.
She left a basket for Fan Mo and others, and sold most of the rest in the cloth shop.
Therefore, during the three-day fair, not only was the East Market bustling, but the area around her shop was equally busy.
Breeding eggs are more expensive than cloth, while unfertilized eggs are only half the price.
Most people wanted breeding eggs, and apart from the government stalls, only Jiang's store sold them.
The most important thing is that Jiang's shop accepts firewood and wild vegetables in exchange for eggs! This is extremely kind to the poor family.
Even though it's still freezing now, it will soon warm up. As long as they are willing to put in the effort, they can always get a few eggs!
It would be best if I could replace the eggs, but if that's not possible, just regular eggs will do. It's Chinese New Year, so shouldn't we give the weakened children some nourishment?
It's nice to make a bowl of egg drop soup and let each of you take a sip to sweeten your mouth.
Jiang Yue and Jiang Nian have become famous in the city. Some people always dare not confront them face to face and turn around and start whispering.
However, their voices reached the ears of Jiang Yue and the others, and they were just words like "brutal", "tyrannical", "know the general" and so on.
Along the way, although she didn't care much about other people's opinions, being pointed at and criticized still affected her mood.
Accepting good things from her store, but on the other hand saying bad things about them.
The complexity and multifaceted nature of human nature will never disappear at any time or place.
Plus, as Jiang Nian said, there really wasn't anything she needed at the market. After a quick stroll, they strolled back home.
She had some calculations in her mind and observed carefully. There were about five or six hundred people in the East Market, plus those in the West Market and those who stayed at home. Even if those who came from the outer city were subtracted, Jiang Yue felt that there were probably about three or four thousand people in the city.
In one winter day, they actually attracted so many people. The new owner of this city is indeed very capable.
Jiang Yue felt a little more at ease here.
During the New Year, Jiang Yue sent generous gifts to the three siblings of the Fan family: the remaining three-quarters of a mule's meat, three chickens, a bucket of fish, and three new sets of clothes she made herself.
Then they were given seven days' holiday with plenty of food and were allowed to have fun.
