After planting the sweet potatoes, Qi Shu turned over the remaining sandy land and the more than ten acres of land. Two more days passed like this. On the third day, Qi Shu borrowed an ox cart and went to work early in the morning. Before dawn, he took Ye Feiyang to the city.Ye Feiyang looked at the bullock cart, remembering the pain in his butt after being bumped twice last time, he frowned slightly, as if he was unwilling, Qi Shu patted the bullock and smiled: "If it wasn't for the slack season, I would borrow this bullock cart if I wanted to." No. I spread some straw, so it should be more comfortable than last time."

Ye Feiyang poked his head to look at the cart behind him, and it was indeed covered with a thick layer of straw. He sat on it with his arms in his arms. The bottom was very fluffy, and it was much better than last time. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Qi."

Qi Shu was already a little used to Ye Feiyang saying thank you all the time, so he also got into the ox cart, waved the short whip in his hand, and whipped the ox's butt lightly.The white fox jumped on the cart vigilantly, and the two tiger cubs followed, but instead of jumping on the cart, they ran back and forth near the cart. Ye Feiyang couldn't help but rejoice that the one pulling the cart was an old scalper , If you change to something else, you may not be frightened by these two guys.

After sitting for a while, Ye Feiyang felt uncomfortable in his waist, so he tilted his body, lay down, and protected Ji Xiang in his arms with his body sideways, so as not to burn his eyes from the sun.Half-dream and half-awake, Qi Shu pushed his shoulder: "Feiyang, wake up, it's almost here." Ye Feiyang opened his eyes and sat up. In order to be seen, Ye Feiyang deliberately abducted here, sober, holding auspiciousness and pulling Qi Shu into the space, took out the rabbit that had been packed before, and some furs, and wanted to get some more fruit When I came out to sell, I remembered that it was spring now, and the fruits had to be in season. In the end, I just pulled some strawberries and sold them.

It didn't take much effort, the bullock cart was full of things, Ye Feiyang brought the two tiger cubs into the space, rubbed their heads, picked two bunches of grapes for them, and took some freshly chopped Putting the meat aside, he said softly: "You are tigers, I dare not take you into the city, I will be wronged here today, don't make trouble, do you hear me?"

The tiger cubs didn't know if they understood, they just tilted their heads and licked the back of Ye Feiyang's hand, then turned their heads and went to eat grapes happily. Seeing this, Ye Feiyang picked two more bunches for them, and then left the space , preparing to enter the city together with Qi Shu.I wanted to put the white fox in, but the little thing squatted on Ye Feiyang's shoulder and refused to go, so I had to let it go. Compared with tigers, white foxes are much more common.

When passing through the city gate, Ye Feiyang was still nervous because he remembered his identity as a "black householder". Fortunately, the guards at the city gate seemed to know Qi Shu and let them pass quickly after collecting the money.Seeing Ye Feiyang's relieved expression, Qi Shu couldn't help laughing, and drove the bullock cart towards the market.

Ye Feiyang hugged Jixiang and thought of one thing: "Brother Qi, what about the bullock cart we set up to sell things?"

Qi Shu said: "There is a shop next to the market that looks after animals, just give them some copper coins."

Ye Feiyang clicked his tongue, feeling that in ancient times, there was an industry where people paid to see cars.After all, a small town is a small town. Even in the morning, the streets are quite crowded. When they got near the market, people gradually increased. Ye Feiyang looked around and followed Qi Shu to the gate of a small courtyard. There was an old man there. Looking at the age of sixty, wearing a dark blue dress, arched his back, looked at the cow led by Qi Shu, nodded, said a few words with Qi Shu, confirmed the time and price, and then untied it. The cart behind the cow led the cow into the yard.

Qi Shu pulled the cart, and said to Ye Feiyang: "Okay, let's go." Ye Feiyang nodded, and followed beside Qi Shu.The bazaar was very lively, with people buying vegetables, selling vegetables, shouting and bargaining, and the good places by the roadside were all occupied by people. The two walked to the place dedicated to selling livestock. Considering that they had to sell Strawberry, I went to the place where the vegetables are sold on the other side, and finally found a good place under a big tree. Although the place is not big and not very conspicuous, but there is a big tree leaning against it, auspiciousness is not afraid of being exposed to the sun with.

Ye Feiyang took some straw from the cart and spread it on the ground, then took out two rabbit cages and placed them next to each other, took another basket of strawberries and placed them, and finally took the "signboard" that was made earlier Come out, put it on the rabbit cage, and the signboard reads "Rabbits cost 40 cents a piece, strawberries cost 3 cents a catty", and then they sit on the straw and start setting up a street stall.

Ye Feiyang looked to the left, there was a chicken seller on the left, and to the right, there was a vegetable seller on the right, and there was a row of them. After a while, several waves of customers came and went. After a while, Ye Feiyang finally couldn't help asking : "Brother Qi, can we do it like this? I think everyone else seems to be peddling."

Qi Shu was teasing Ji Xiang, and said with a smile: "If you want to sell it, you can do it, but ordinary people are not very good at buying rabbits and strawberries. I guess they have to sell slowly. It's still early, so there's no rush." Ji Xiang also babbled.

This is Ye Feiyang's first time selling things, so how could he not be in a hurry!Turning his head and staring eagerly at everyone passing by, he wished they would all come and see, even Ji Xiang was not in the mood to care about it.

Perhaps God heard Ye Feiyang's prayer. Not long after, a man actually came to the stall, but that man was wearing a sky-blue gown, about [-] or [-] years old, with a serious expression and a bit of majesty. He carefully looked at the stall in front of Ye Feiyang.Seeing Ye Feiyang's heart pounding, he wanted to speak up, but he didn't know what to say, after all, the other party didn't say what he wanted to buy!After a stalemate like this for a while, the man said, "How do you sell that white fox?"

Ye Feiyang opened his mouth and was about to say forty pennies, but when he heard that he was asking about the white fox, he was stunned. The white fox seemed to sense the crisis, and slid into Ye Feiyang's arms. Ye Feiyang hugged the white fox subconsciously, and shook his head decisively. : "This white fox is not for sale!"

The man seemed to feel a little pity: "This white fox needs to be well-fed, I'm afraid it will be..." Even though he hadn't finished speaking, his eyes were somewhat disdainful.

Inexplicably being despised by this person, Ye Feiyang felt a little dissatisfied in his heart. Although his family was not rich in the past, it was considered a well-to-do family. In addition, his parents are university professors, and others have always treated him very well. With a little respect for his parents, so he really has never been so underestimated.He smoothed the white fox's soft fur, and slightly emphasized his tone: "I've raised this white fox for a long time, and I haven't seen anything wrong with it. I won't sell it."

The man was silent for a moment, then pointed to the rabbit cage beside him: "Then how do you sell this rabbit?"

Ye Feiyang pursed his lips. He didn't want to sell to this person in his heart, but opening the door for business can't push customers away, right?While struggling, he heard Qi Shu say, "Sorry, we don't plan to sell it to you."

"Yeah!" Ji Xiang waved his fists in response.

As if seeing Qi Shu just now, the man glanced over, was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, with a bit of flattery in his smile: "Buying and selling is not a matter of benevolence, but my old lady has always wanted a white fox, so I asked Ask, this white rabbit looks good to me, how about selling two of them to the master for a dental sacrifice?"

Ye Feiyang was a little puzzled by the change in this person's attitude, and turned his head to look at Qi Shu suspiciously.Qi Shu's expression remained unchanged, and he asked instead: "Feiyang, what do you think?"

"Oh, if that's the case, I'll just sell you two." Since that person really wanted to buy rabbits, Ye Feiyang naturally wouldn't push away the door-to-door business. If he was despised, he would be despised. As for a "black household", it is normal for black households to be despised.Ye Feiyang comforted himself in this way, and picked out two rabbits from the rabbit cage with his hands and feet, tied their hind legs with ropes and handed them to the man.

The man pointed to the strawberry again: "Give me 5 catties of this too."

When Ye Feiyang heard this, his mood rose a bit, he quickly took a piece of lotus leaf and packed it, weighed it, it was about 5 catties, then added a few more, and then wrapped it up and handed it to the man.

The man counted 95 copper coins to Ye Feiyang, and left with his things. Before leaving, he glanced at Qi Shu. Ye Feiyang caught sight of his actions, and when he was far away, he approached Qi Shu and asked quietly: "Pray Brother, do you know this man?"

Qi Shu shook his head: "I've never seen it before."

Ye Feiyang didn't doubt that he was there, so he carefully counted the handful of copper coins in his hand, tied them up with a rope with a smile on his face, put them in his arms, hugged Ji Xiang and kissed him twice: "It's open as soon as I come here today, really. good!"

Seeing Ye Feiyang's happy face, Qi Shu also smiled, and the corner of his eyes inadvertently glanced at the direction the person left.

As soon as the business opened, some people came to the door one after another. The reason why Ye Feiyang ordered 40 Wen is to leave some room for bargaining. If you meet a budget-conscious person, you can pay less. 30 Wen, 35 Wen will also For sale, sometimes when he meets a child who wants to eat strawberries, he will give the child two to taste first, and then sell them, and if someone wants to buy a few taels of half a catty, he also sells them with a smile.

With a seller as gentle and approachable as Ye Feiyang, a lively and cute baby as Jixiang, plus the handsome Qi Shu and the beautiful white fox, this stall has never been so deserted, and many have been sold in the morning.

Ye Feiyang smiled with eyebrows and eyes crooked: "Brother Qi, we sold more than 600 copper coins! I didn't expect the business to be so good!" He used to read that the life of the ancients was relatively poor, and ordinary people rarely ate big fish and meat, let alone Said that this is a rabbit that is even more expensive than chickens. I didn't expect that there are many rich people in this small town!A dozen rabbits were sold in just one morning!

It was also Qi Shu's first time to set up a stall, seeing Ye Feiyang so happy, he was also happy, and said with a smile: "You are better at doing business."

Ye Feiyang was a little embarrassed by the compliment: "There are only three rabbits left, and the strawberries only weigh two catties. We'll go eat after selling them for a while."

Qi Shu hugged Ji Xiang who fell asleep after playing tired, and nodded with a smile: "Okay."

At this time, a few more people came to the stall, they were not very old, about the same age as Qi Shu, Ye Feiyang asked with a smile as usual: "What do you want to buy?"

The few people glanced at each other and pointed casually: "Both rabbits and strawberries."

Ye Feiyang immediately followed what they said, tied up the rabbit and packed the strawberries.Just as he was busy with his head down, the two stalls on both sides of him were secretly packing their things and seemed to be planning to leave, but Ye Feiyang didn't pay attention, but Qi Shu could see their fear of the people in front of him, so he didn't move sensuality.

After packing the things, Ye Feiyang handed them over and was waiting to collect the money, but seeing those people took the things and left, he subconsciously shouted: "Hey, wait a moment." Just as he was about to continue talking, Qi Shu's shoulder was touched. Pressed it down, and then a soft little Jixiang was stuffed into his arms, and then he stood up and walked in front of those people.

"Three rabbits, two catties of strawberries, a total of 126 Wen." Qi Shu said lightly.

Those people gave Qi Shu a sideways look, with a frivolous look on their faces: "Are you new here? I don't want to inquire, when did our brothers give money for shopping?"

When Ye Feiyang heard it, his heart suddenly rose. This is because he met the legendary gangster!Unexpectedly, the ancient hooligans were even more arrogant than the modern ones!He saw that there were four or five people on the other side, but there were only two of him and Qi Shu, and they also brought auspiciousness. He was worried at once, and struggled to get up from the ground while holding auspiciousness, walked behind Qi Shu and pulled him: "Brother Qi , Forget it, these few rabbits will be given to these big brothers for a tooth-beating sacrifice." The hero does not suffer from immediate losses, after all, this is his territory, and if there is trouble, the one who suffers must be himself. Having been in such a situation, I felt a little scared in my heart.

Qi Shu turned his head and smiled at him: "Feiyang, take Jixiang to the car and stay there, I'll be fine soon."

The gangsters saw that Qi Shu didn't seem to have any plans to give up, and decided to show him some color, one of them didn't say hello, and suddenly punched Qi Shu, Ye Feiyang let out a low cry, But seeing that Qi Shu didn't turn his head back, he raised his hand and grabbed the man's wrist, then twisted it, and there was a crisp sound, Ye Feiyang heard that it seemed to be the sound of broken bones, before he could reply Overwhelmed, the man was pulled behind by Qi Shu, and he was dumbfounded listening to the man's screams, and the others rushed up, but they didn't see Qi Shu's big moves, but they hurt people with every move. A few gangsters were beaten and cried for their father and mother.
