Leisurely Cultivation Time

Chapter 116 The Little Vegetable Selling Girl
Ye Fei and Xiao Yi stopped and went, and visited several stores. Xiao Yi shook his head. The mountain products inside are basically artificially grown.

Moreover, they are all baked by machinery. This kind of thing is sold everywhere, and there is nothing unusual about it. Naturally, it is not suitable to be a surprise for Zhang Xiaoshi.

After wandering around the market for more than half of the time, Xiao Yi didn't find anything good. Both of them were a little disappointed. It seemed that they could only come and see it when they went to the market.

Just when the two were about to leave, Ye Fei suddenly saw a little girl about eight or nine years old squatting on the ground at the end of the market.

Wearing a straw hat, her little face was flushed, probably from heat, her forehead was covered with sweat, and her bangs were wet.

The little girl is a little thin, her skin is a little dark, and her clothes look old.

She squatted quietly on the ground alone, with a square basket in front of her covered with a piece of cloth.

There is also a fish scale bag next to the basket, and a large handful of bracken and a handful of thin bamboo shoots are neatly placed on the bag, which should be for sale.

"Xiao Yi, over there, let's go over there and have a look." Ye Fei pointed to the little girl and said.

Then the two walked towards the girl, and when the little girl saw someone approaching, she stood up and said in local dialect: "Brother, what do you want to order?"

"How do you sell these?" Ye Fei asked.

The girl pointed to the bracken and said, "These bracken are worth ten yuan." Then she pointed to the small bamboo shoots and said, "These small bamboo shoots are also ten yuan. The total is 20 yuan."

"Huh? Don't you sell it by the catty?" Ye Fei was puzzled.

"I didn't weigh it." The little girl was a little embarrassed and said with her head down.

"Is that so?"

"Ye Fei, what are you talking about?" Xiao Yi asked beside him.

Before Ye Fei answered, the girl said softly: "Ten yuan for bamboo shoots, ten yuan for bracken, 20 yuan in total here."

"It's pretty cheap." Xiao Yi squatted down and looked at it, and then said, "The dishes are all quite fresh."

"That's all, you help me pretend." Ye Fei said to the girl in local dialect.

"I don't have a plastic bag, can I tie it with a straw rope?" the girl said nervously.

A lot of people came to ask today, but they didn’t want it if they didn’t have a scale or a bag to put it in.

"Yes." Ye Fei said casually.

"Thank you, big brother." After the item was sold, the girl smiled happily, and called Ye Fei sweetly.

"What's in this basket?" Xiao Yi pointed to the basket when the little girl was about to tie up the little bamboo shoots and bracken.

"Ah, these are some mushrooms, do you want them?" The little girl said and lifted the cloth on the basket.

"Hey, there are chicken fir mushrooms and Hericium erinaceus." Xiao Yi said, looking at the basket in surprise.

Seeing the situation of the little girl, I know that she picked this thing on the mountain by herself, unlike the ones sold in other shops, which are all grown.

This is good stuff, just a little bit less.There are only two Hericium erinaceus in the basket, which are as big as a baby's fist.

There are not many chrysanthemums, only six or seven. In addition to Hericium erinaceus and P. erinaceus, there are also some fungus and other miscellaneous mushrooms.

In addition to fungi, Xiao Yi also accidentally saw a handful of bee pupae wrapped in paper, which were quite large, a bit like wasps.

These things can be said to be good things, but the quantity of each is too small, and the bee chrysalis seems to be only three or four.

"How do you sell these things?" Xiao Yi raised his head and asked the little girl.

I saw the little girl scratching her little face, and then said "uh" several times but couldn't tell the price.

"How about fifty?" Xiao Yi said to the girl.

"Ah?" The little girl didn't realize it all at once. Just now she was still hesitating whether to say twenty or thirty. She was afraid that the other party would not want to say thirty, but she wanted to earn more.

In the end, Xiao Yi didn't expect to directly offer fifty, which was the sum of her two prices.

"No...you don't need that much, thirty is enough, thirty is enough." The little girl said nervously.

Xiao Yi said generously: "If you don't have anything to say, fifty is fifty. Normally, only buyers bargain, and no seller bargains. Little sister, do you still have these things at home?"

"It's gone now, do you still want it? I'll look for it on the mountain tomorrow morning."

"Do you usually go up the mountain by yourself? Do your parents go up the mountain to pick?" Ye Fei asked the little girl.

The little girl replied: "My parents picked them and dried them in the sun. I saved them and sold them here every time I went to the market. There will be people here who specialize in collecting mountain goods."

"Is there anything else to do? We also want to do it. Can you take us to your house to meet your parents? We also collect mountain goods." Ye Fei said.

It's really a sleepy person meeting a pillow. I thought that I couldn't buy mountain goods on the street, but I didn't expect the little girl to have them at home.

"But my home is a little far away."

"It's okay, I'm driving here, and I'll be there soon."

"Alright then." The little girl nodded, then pointed to the ferns and bamboo shoots on the ground and said, "Then do you want more?"

"Yes, I want it, I'll give you the money, 80 yuan in total, right?" Xiao Yi responded, and then said to Ye Fei, "Ye Fei, give me the money, I don't have cash."

Ye Fei rolled his eyes, then took out a red note from his wallet and handed it to the little girl.

The little girl looked down at the red note in Ye Fei's hand, and whispered, "Big brother, do you have any change? I don't have money to look for you."

"There's no change, wait a minute, I'll change it." Ye Fei went to the canteen to buy two bottles of mineral water and a bottle of Sydney drink.

He took 80 yuan out of the change he had found and handed it to the little girl. He also handed over the drink and said, "Come on, my brother treats you to a drink."

After paying the money, the little girl saw the drink Ye Fei handed over and quickly waved her hand and said, "No, I don't want to drink it. I brought boiled water myself." As she spoke, the girl shook an old kettle on her waist.

"It's okay, I bought everything, let's drink it." Seeing that the little girl was still hesitating, Ye Fei directly stuffed the drink into her arms.

The girl seemed quite embarrassed, but she still wanted to drink it very much. When her father took her to the market last month, he bought a bottle for her to drink. It was sour and sweet and delicious.

Thinking of this, the little girl couldn't help but licked her lips and swallowed.But she didn't open it directly to drink, she wanted to take it home and share it with her brother and sister.

Then Ye Fei said to the little girl: "Then let's go now and take us to your house."

"Yeah." The little girl nodded.

Then there is no need to tie the bracken and the bamboo shoots. Ye Fei and Xiao Yi hugged each other directly, and the little girl folded the fish scale bag neatly, then carried the basket and followed Ye Fei and Xiao Yi towards the outside of the market.
