I was a hunter in ancient times
Chapter 72
The rustling sound in the inn room last night did not stop until midnight.
The lingering aftermath was a bit long, Zhou Du's brain went blank for a short while, and even his sight in front of him appeared vacant, and after a while, his thoughts and sight gradually returned.
He lay half back on the wall, looking at Shen Xi with red eyes.
I saw Shen Xi flushed with a face, pursed his lips, and there was a successful smile on the corner of his mouth, looking at him with a smirk.
Zhou Du trembled his eyelashes, loosened his grip on the bed sheet, pushed his palm hard, got up from the bed, came to Shen Xi, pinched his chin, and leaned over to suck his lips involuntarily.
The tip of the tongue brushed against his lips, pried open his teeth, and directly entered into his mouth, cleaning up the taste that hadn't faded away for him.
Shen Xi was still in a daze before he could react to Zhou Du's movements. After Zhou Du cleaned his lips and teeth, he took his bright red lips in his mouth, hooked his little tongue with the tip of his tongue and lingered for a long time before withdrawing from his lips. They kissed each other on the petals together and said: "Thanks for your hard work, my darling."
"It's not hard." Shen Xi didn't think about it until this time, and his face was full of smiles. Although his tongue was a little uncomfortable, today's little magpie finally got the pearl he dreamed of. He is so happy, so tired It's nothing.
Seeing that he was happy, Zhou Du pecked him on the lips again, wrapped his clothes, went out and asked the inn clerk for another bucket of hot water, twisted the handkerchief, and first wiped away Shen Xi's profuse sweat and water. After wiping off the traces left on his face, he went to the bathroom to wash himself again.
When he came out of the bathroom, Shen Xi had already tidied up the messy bedding, and she was about to fall asleep while lying down. Zhou Du lay down, hugged him, kissed his lips again, and said softly: "Sleep." Bar."
"Okay." Shen Xi was also really tired, the reason why he didn't sleep was because he was waiting for Zhou Du, now he lay in Zhou Du's arms, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Zhou Du waited for him to fall asleep, kissed his hair contentedly, and fell into a deep sleep.
After they all fell asleep, the bean bag under the bed yawned, climbed down, and fell asleep.
A good night's sleep, the few people who traveled all the way were not in a hurry to get up, except for Luo Fu who was used to getting up early, Shen Mu and the others all slept until the sun was up.
Of course they got up earlier than Zhou Du and the others.
When Zhou Du and Shen Xi finished packing and went out of the room and went downstairs, Shen Mu and the others were already sitting in the lobby of the inn to eat.
Seeing them coming down, Li Yu took the initiative to serve them two bowls of porridge.
Shen Xi saw the bowl full of white rice porridge, recalled what happened last night, and couldn't help but burn his cheeks. After sitting down, he hurriedly pushed the porridge bowl in front of him away.
Li Yu asked curiously, "Don't you want to drink?"
"Don't drink." Seeing that there were steamed buns besides porridge on the table, Shen Xi consciously took a steamed bun and slowly tore it to eat.
Li Yu took another sip of the porridge, and persuaded him kindly: "We ate dry food for a few days on the road, and it will make our stomach feel better after drinking some porridge."
"Don't drink," Shen Xi stopped tearing the steamed buns, stretched out the uncomfortable tip of his tongue, and said bluntly, "My tongue is uncomfortable, so I don't want to eat something too hot."
"How could it be uncomfortable?" Li Yu put down the porridge bowl after hearing this, and poked his head over to check for Shen Xi, "Would you like me to take a look for you?"
Shen Xi glanced at Zhou Du who had been eating slowly and quietly since he came down from upstairs, slightly curled his lips, and said intentionally: "No, I just got hot from the porridge last night, and I'll be fine in a while. "
After hearing this, Li Yu asked strangely: "Does the inn serve porridge in the middle of the night?"
"No," Shen Xi kept watching Zhou Du from the corner of his eyes, seeing that Zhou Du didn't respond, he kicked him under the table again, and continued: "Zhou Du got up last night to make it for me."
Zhou Du stopped holding the porridge spoon in his hand, pursed his lips slightly, his ears were so hot that he lowered his head, pretending nothing happened, he lowered his head and continued to drink the porridge.
Li Yu looked at Zhou Du in surprise, and asked in disbelief, "He can still cook porridge?"
Li Yu couldn't see anything abnormal about Zhou Du, but Shen Xi could see it clearly, the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened again, and he pointed out: "Why not, you've survived well."
He was forced to cook a bowl of porridge for 27 years, and he was really able to cook it until his tongue was still numb.
Li Yu looked at Zhou Du slightly surprised: "Really?"
Shen Xi blinked: "Yes."
Li Yu became interested. He couldn't imagine the taste of the porridge made by a person like Zhou Du who didn't touch the spring water. Even Xiaoxi said it was good, and the taste must be the same, so he said: "Then you Can you save some for me next time, and I will try it too."
"Cough-cough-cough-cough-"
Zhou Du accidentally choked the porridge into his throat, turned his head to one side, and coughed for a long time before recovering.
He raised his head and saw the playfulness in Shen Xi's eyes, lowered his eyes, and pushed the bowl of porridge that Shen Xi pushed away at the beginning to him again: "Drink more if you like it."
After that, he added another bowl of porridge to Li Yu, and calmly said with no abnormality on his face: "It's all from this store, and there is no difference when I make it, so don't worry about it."
Li Yu looked at the porridge that Zhou Du served him in horror, and took it with both hands. After listening to Zhou Du's description, he thought it was right.
No matter how delicious the porridge is, how can it be so delicious? Not all of them have the same taste. Shenxi likes Zhoudu, even if Zhoudu's cooking is not delicious, he will still say it is delicious. What is he thinking about.
After thinking about it, he nodded to Zhou Du, expressing his understanding.
Only Shen Xi looked at the porridge in front of him with a bitter face, he didn't want to drink it.
Seeing him not moving for a long time, Zhou Du lost a look that made him understand.
Shen Xi pouted, and started to drink the porridge with difficulty while holding the porridge spoon.
Shen Mu didn't join them from the beginning to the end, he finished the meal slowly by himself, wiped his lips with a handkerchief, saw the people at the table who hadn't finished eating because of talking, and ordered: "Zhou Du, after the meal, You take the little fishes of the brook for a stroll."
Zhou Du nodded in response.
Shen Xi immediately put down the bowl and asked, "Little uncle, what are you doing?"
Shen Mu twitched the corners of her lips, and said with a slightly unnatural expression: "I'm going to do some shopping."
Li Yu hurriedly said: "Master, what do you want to buy, or I won't go shopping, I'll help you carry things, Master."
Shen Mu glanced at Shen Xi, and refused: "No, I have other things to do besides shopping, just play along with Xiaoxi."
Shen Xi grabbed Li Yu who was still talking: "Yes, Xiao Yuer, don't worry about my little uncle, he is such a big man, he can still get lost, it doesn't matter if he buys a lot, the county town is full of people , Hiring anyone is enough to move back, you follow us to sell bears, it’s so fun to sell bears.”
It made sense for Li Yu to think about it, it was more important to follow Shen Xi and the others to sell bears than to go shopping with Master.
Seeing that there was no objection, Shen Mu breathed a sigh of relief, coughed and said: "Then it's settled, I still have something to do, so I'll go ahead."
Shen Xi waved his hand: "Go, go, little uncle had a great time shopping."
Shen Mu nodded, with her hands behind her back, she left the inn without looking back.
After Li Yu sat down, he looked at Shenxi and Zhoudu, thought for a while and suddenly asked, "But where are we going to sell bears?"
When he asked this question, Shen Xi was offended by the question, and Shen Xi patted his head: "That's right, where are we going to sell bears?"
Previously, they only knew that transporting the bears to the county town to sell them would raise the price, but they didn’t know where to sell them after transporting them to the county town. They could not drag the bears to the street and sell them on the street, and there were no people on the street. They must be able to afford it, and the only ones who can afford bears are those big families in the county town, but none of them know the big families in the county town, so they can't just knock on the door and ask.
After Zhou Du finished eating, he wiped his lips and said calmly, "Go to the vegetable market to have a look."
Shen Xi and Li Yu said at the same time: "The vegetable market?"
Zhou Du didn't explain anything, stood up, took out the money from his body, walked towards the counter beside him, and extended the room to the innkeeper for another day. When extending the room, he inadvertently asked: "I heard that there are fruits and vegetables sold in the county in winter. If you don’t know the shopkeeper, you can know where the fruits and vegetables in the market are better.”
After getting along with each other for a day, the shopkeeper also knew that although these people came from the countryside, they were not stingy at all, so he smiled and said: "We have the best vegetable market in Baoshan County, and it must be the southern There are rich and noble families living in that area, and the county government is also there. The best place to buy fresh fruits and vegetables is, but the price is relatively higher. If you think the price is high, you can go to the North Gate. Although the gate is more crowded than the south gate, it is more crowded and people can buy fresh ones.”
After Zhou Du got the news he wanted, he thanked the shopkeeper of the inn, and came back and said to Shen Xi and Li Yu: "Go to the Nanmen vegetable market."
Shen Xi and Li Yu had no other good idea. After eating, they drove the black bear on the mule cart to the south gate vegetable market.
Nanmen vegetable market, as the name suggests, is a vegetable market close to the south of the county seat. They can find Nanmen vegetable market by walking all the way in the south direction.
The farther you go south, the wider the road, and the more prosperous the shops on both sides of the street. Just looking in from the outside of the shop, you can tell that ordinary people can't afford it, so ordinary pedestrians on the road are getting more and more expensive. few.
When there are fewer pedestrians, you can see many carriages of rich families with maids and servants on the street.
As the three of them walked, they noticed this scene, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. The more this happened, the more it proved that they did not come to the wrong place.
The three of them drove a mule cart to the Nanmen Vegetable Farm. There were not many retail traders selling vegetables here, and they were all neatly planned in one area. People think that the vegetables sold in the vegetable market outside are more juicy.
Shen Xi found someone to inquire about, found the guard guarding the vegetable market, and paid him five copper coins for the booth fee. Because they came late, they were assigned to a not-so-good position.
Fortunately, what they sell is not a best-seller, and it doesn't make any difference to them whether the location is good or not.
The three of them drove the mule cart to the booth, and didn't bother to set up any stalls. Instead, they pulled off the black cloth covering the mule cart, revealing the big black man lying on the mule cart.
The arrival of the three strangers, of course, attracted the attention of all the stall owners around, and even many people have been paying attention to their mule cart since they stepped here, wanting to see the black spot on the mule cart. Under the cloth, what is hidden.
Although there are not many stall owners here, everyone has a strong sense of competition. After all, selling things here can make a lot more money selling things at the North Gate. The same catty of vegetables can only be sold for five yuan at the North Gate. , and here at the South Gate can sell eight or ten.
But selling expensive also has its disadvantages, that is, the quantity is small. After all, there are only a few big families here, and the big families have long-term supply farmers, so it is destined that the Nanmen vegetable market will not be prosperous here. The things Zhou Du and the other three sold were similar to theirs, so wouldn't it be that there was one more business grabber?
So everyone stared at them, Zhoudu and the others took off the black cloth on the mule cart, revealing the fat black bear, and everyone in the vegetable market changed their expressions.
With a bang, many people made a sound of surprise, some of them were a little timid, and even covered their mouths with their hands, only showing a pair of terrified eyes.
"My God, it's a bear."
"How did you get that?"
"You have to go to the mountains to get this thing."
"Go to the mountains and meet this thing, can you survive?"
"..."
There were endless discussions around, and everyone looked at the black bear on Zhoudu's mule cart. Just the strong body of the black bear was amazing, not to mention the sharp and shiny claws that made people shudder.
Immediately, the eyes of the people in the vegetable market changed when they saw Zhou Du and the three of them. This group of people could even hunt bears, so they were not easy to provoke. Bears have nothing else and don't pose any threat to their business.
For a moment, those who wanted to squeeze Zhou Du and the other three out of their minds disappeared, and there were only exclamations left.
The others lamented so and so, but it had no effect on Zhoudu and the others who had heard too much in Taoyuan Village. They searched the crowd for someone who could buy the bear.
But unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, except for the exclamation of the stall owner next to him and the occasional exclamation of the black bear on the mule cart passing by, no one stopped in front of their stall and wanted to buy the black bear.
Shen Xi observed in the vegetable market for a while, and said to Zhou Du: "I think the people who buy vegetables here are maids and servants from rich families nearby. Black bear, so I can't wait here."
Zhou Du was also observing the passing crowd just now, and it was indeed as Shen Xi said, the people who came to buy vegetables were servants from rich families, even if there were a few ordinary rich people who went out to buy vegetables in person, they would see bears I can't help but eat it.
So you still have to find the kind of rich people who don't take money as money.
After listening to the conversation between the two of them, Li Yu said with a bit of distress: "Since we can't sell it here, then the five copper coins we just paid for the booth fee are not for nothing."
They have only been here for a long time, but the five copper coins can be placed here for a day. If the bear is sold, it is okay, but if they cannot be sold, they will leave before they stay for a long time. Thinking about it, they feel that it is a loss.
Shen Xi's eyes wandered around the stalls of the stall owners one by one, stopped in front of a stall, and smiled at Li Yu: "Who said we are leaving, you stay here, I will go shopping, maybe There are unexpected gains."
As Shen Xi said, he took out a tael of silver from his waist, and walked towards the booth where his eyes had stopped just now.
The stall owner was a tangerine seller, and the stall was filled with green and yellow tangerines, which made people feel articulate.
Shen Xi walked over without doing anything else, picked out a tangerine and asked: "Boss, how do you sell this tangerine?"
Seeing that Shen Xi was holding a silver ingot in his hand, the boss knew that he sincerely wanted to buy it, so he immediately said with a smile: "Twenty Wen a catty."
After hearing this, Shen Xi blurted out what was in his mouth: "It's so cheap, give me a five-jin scale."
The tangerine boss was taken aback by Shen Xi's words that it was so cheap, and then he heard that Shen Xi opened his mouth and asked for five catties, without even saying the price, the smile on his face became even bigger, and he hurriedly took out the scales to weigh the honey. orange.
While weighing, he also gave Shen Xi a peeled tangerine with only a few petals left: "You can taste the sweetness of my tangerine, and you won't feel disadvantaged by keeping it."
Shen Xi tasted a petal, and complimented: "It's really sweet, boss, I think your tangerines can be sold to rich people's homes."
Seeing that Shenxi is pleasing to the eye everywhere, the boss selling tangerines hurriedly waved his hands and said: "That's not okay, I heard that the tangerines in the homes of those big families cost one or two hundred and one catties. Twenty-sentences won’t catch their eye.”
"One or two hundred Wen a catty is just to eat a tangerine," Shen Xi showed a shocked expression appropriately, and then sighed, "I don't know that the rich families who can afford this two hundred Wen a catty are all how is it like."
Seeing that Shen Xi was curious, the boss pointed him in the direction and said enviously: "Did you see that other courtyard over there? His family is the richest man in our Baoshan County. I heard that even one of the servants there eats it every day." It’s delicacies from mountains and seas.”
Shen Xi looked in the direction he pointed, and after confirming the location, took the tangerines that the boss had weighed, and handed over the silver to settle the money.
At this time, a young man dressed in a brocade robe suddenly came to the booth, with a handsome face, he hurried to the booth of the tangerine boss, and asked anxiously, "Boss, do you have any particularly sour oranges?"
"Are you right?" The boss gave Shen Xi the money, and when he heard his request, he shook his head: "Master, I sell tangerines here, and all the oranges I sell are sweet ones, so there are no sour ones."
Shen Xi glanced at this young man in brocade curiously, only feeling familiar, but he has never been to the county town, and it is impossible to know people in the county town, counting the copper coins in his hand is not a big deal, and said to the boss of Tangerine : "The money is right."
After finishing speaking, he returned to Zhou Du's side with the tangerine in his hand.
Seeing that he had bought a bunch of tangerines back, Zhou Du hurriedly took them from him and put them on the mule cart beside him.
As soon as Shen Xi relaxed his hands, he was about to tell Zhou Du what he had gained, when the young man in brocade who was standing beside him just now followed behind him at some point.
He was about to pat Shen Xi's shoulder with his first hand. Seeing this, Zhou Du grabbed his hand before his hand touched Shen Xi's shoulder, cut him backwards, and pinned him firmly on the mule cart.
"It hurts, it hurts..." Young Master Jin Pao was suppressed by Zhou Du, and he moaned for a long time, but Zhou Du didn't let him go, and said angrily, "Zhou Heimian, let me go."
Zhou Du frowned: "Zhou Heimian?"
"Zhou..." The young man in brocade robe thought for a while before saying, "Zhou Du, Zhou Du, Zhou Du, let's go."
"Hey," Shen Xi said strangely, "How do you know his name is Zhou Du?"
The young man in brocade robe looked sideways at Shen Xi with difficulty, rolled his eyes and said, "Not only do I know his name is Zhou Du, I also know you, Chef Shen."
Zhou Du raised his eyebrows: "Cook Shen?"
"Shen..." The young man in brocade robe thought about it again, "Shen Xi, for Shen Xi, that's his name."
Shen Xi glanced at the face of Young Master Jin Pao, and was sure that he had never seen it before, but he was inexplicably familiar with it, and became even more curious: "Who are you, and how did you know us?"
"I, you don't know me anymore?" the young man in brocade robe said very embarrassingly.
Hearing this accent and combined with his height which was about the same as his own, Zhou Du thought of a person, and he relaxed the strength in his hands, releasing him from the restraint.
As soon as the young man in brocade robe was relieved, he immediately went to rub his dull shoulder, cursing and saying: "I haven't seen you for a few months, your kung fu has not gone backwards yet."
Zhou Du said coldly: "If you regress, I won't even regress."
The accent, the tone, and what they said, Shen Xi stared blankly at the handsome face of Mr. Jin Pao, and opened his lips: "You are, you are, you are that Meng Zupou!"
Meng Sui saw that Zhoudu Chenxi and the others recognized him, rubbed his arms and said with a smile: "I finally remembered who I am, but the name Meng Xiaodou can be dispensed with, I don't have any acne on my face now."
Zhou Du followed his words and looked at his face. Indeed, now Meng Sui's face was as smooth as a peeled egg. Not only did those scary pimples disappear, but there was not even a single pimple mark left. It's like changing a face.
Seeing Zhoudu Shenxi and the others surprised, Meng Sui proudly poked his face and said, "It's all thanks to Dr. Shen's contribution. I still use the medicine he left for me every day. This skin is getting worse every day. Good day, smoother day by day."
Meng Sui said while tidying up his slightly messy clothes, standing in front of them with a human appearance, making a gesture, raised his eyebrows at Shen Xi and said: "Well, now my son is more handsome, handsome and suave? gone."
He still remembered what Shen Xi praised him for. Shen Xi twitched the corners of his lips, looked at him like two idiots playing tricks, and hurriedly turned his head to look at Zhou Du who was standing by the side watching the play. He still thought Zhou Du was the prettiest. .
Zhou Du noticed Shen Xi's gaze, turned his head, met the star in Shen Xi's gaze, and nodded slightly.
Meng Sui played handsome for a long time, seeing that Shen Xi didn't even give him a look, he retracted his posture in embarrassment, and coughed: "Ahem, cough, it's okay, don't flirt with each other, like who doesn't know you are a couple. "
Shen Xi withdrew his admiring gaze from Zhou Du, looked at Meng Sui calmly, and asked wonderingly: "Didn't you take your daughter-in-law to join your father after you got married? Why are you still in Baoshan County?"
Meng Jui waved his hand, with an unhappy expression on his face: "Don't mention it."
Shen Xi asked again: "What's wrong?"
"Hi," Meng Sui scratched his head embarrassingly, and said with a little blushing, "I took my daughter-in-law to join my father not long after I got married, but you also know that I am a newlywed, so the road will inevitably be a bit rough. Slow down, and then arrived at Baoshan County..."
Shen Xi was listening enthusiastically, and seeing that he stopped talking, he couldn't help asking: "What happened when we arrived in Baoshan County?"
Meng Sui laughed dryly, feeling even more embarrassed: "When I arrived in Baoshan County, I found that my daughter-in-law had a poor appetite and often vomited, so I found a doctor in the county to treat my daughter-in-law."
Before Shen Xi could react, he asked worriedly: "What disease?"
"I'm not sick," Meng Sui said, patting the flushed face, trying to calm himself down, and said slowly, "I'm pregnant."
Meng Sui went on to say: "And when we arrived in Baoshan County, it happened to be about two months after we got married. The doctor said that he was probably two months pregnant. I calculated the date, and it seemed that it was the day I got married. Up."
Shen Xi was stunned.
After Meng Sui finished speaking, his face was a bit sad and he said: "It's not suitable for long-distance travel when you are pregnant. We have to stay at the relative's house in the county. After the child is born, we will go to the place where my father takes office."
The more Shen Xi listened, the more frustrated he became. Thinking that he and Zhou Du hadn't accomplished anything yet, Meng Sui was already a father, so he raised his hand to interrupt him: "Stop talking, I don't want to hear it anymore."

The lingering aftermath was a bit long, Zhou Du's brain went blank for a short while, and even his sight in front of him appeared vacant, and after a while, his thoughts and sight gradually returned.
He lay half back on the wall, looking at Shen Xi with red eyes.
I saw Shen Xi flushed with a face, pursed his lips, and there was a successful smile on the corner of his mouth, looking at him with a smirk.
Zhou Du trembled his eyelashes, loosened his grip on the bed sheet, pushed his palm hard, got up from the bed, came to Shen Xi, pinched his chin, and leaned over to suck his lips involuntarily.

Shen Xi saw the bowl full of white rice porridge, recalled what happened last night, and couldn't help but burn his cheeks. After sitting down, he hurriedly pushed the porridge bowl in front of him away.

Li Yu looked at Zhou Du in surprise, and asked in disbelief, "He can still cook porridge?"
Li Yu couldn't see anything abnormal about Zhou Du, but Shen Xi could see it clearly, the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened again, and he pointed out: "Why not, you've survived well."
He was forced to cook a bowl of porridge for 27 years, and he was really able to cook it until his tongue was still numb.

He raised his head and saw the playfulness in Shen Xi's eyes, lowered his eyes, and pushed the bowl of porridge that Shen Xi pushed away at the beginning to him again: "Drink more if you like it."
After that, he added another bowl of porridge to Li Yu, and calmly said with no abnormality on his face: "It's all from this store, and there is no difference when I make it, so don't worry about it."
Li Yu looked at the porridge that Zhou Du served him in horror, and took it with both hands. After listening to Zhou Du's description, he thought it was right.

Shen Mu glanced at Shen Xi, and refused: "No, I have other things to do besides shopping, just play along with Xiaoxi."
Shen Xi grabbed Li Yu who was still talking: "Yes, Xiao Yuer, don't worry about my little uncle, he is such a big man, he can still get lost, it doesn't matter if he buys a lot, the county town is full of people , Hiring anyone is enough to move back, you follow us to sell bears, it’s so fun to sell bears.”
It made sense for Li Yu to think about it, it was more important to follow Shen Xi and the others to sell bears than to go shopping with Master.
Seeing that there was no objection, Shen Mu breathed a sigh of relief, coughed and said: "Then it's settled, I still have something to do, so I'll go ahead."
Shen Xi waved his hand: "Go, go, little uncle had a great time shopping."
Shen Mu nodded, with her hands behind her back, she left the inn without looking back.
After Li Yu sat down, he looked at Shenxi and Zhoudu, thought for a while and suddenly asked, "But where are we going to sell bears?"
When he asked this question, Shen Xi was offended by the question, and Shen Xi patted his head: "That's right, where are we going to sell bears?"
Previously, they only knew that transporting the bears to the county town to sell them would raise the price, but they didn’t know where to sell them after transporting them to the county town. They could not drag the bears to the street and sell them on the street, and there were no people on the street. They must be able to afford it, and the only ones who can afford bears are those big families in the county town, but none of them know the big families in the county town, so they can't just knock on the door and ask.
After Zhou Du finished eating, he wiped his lips and said calmly, "Go to the vegetable market to have a look."
Shen Xi and Li Yu said at the same time: "The vegetable market?"
Zhou Du didn't explain anything, stood up, took out the money from his body, walked towards the counter beside him, and extended the room to the innkeeper for another day. When extending the room, he inadvertently asked: "I heard that there are fruits and vegetables sold in the county in winter. If you don’t know the shopkeeper, you can know where the fruits and vegetables in the market are better.”
After getting along with each other for a day, the shopkeeper also knew that although these people came from the countryside, they were not stingy at all, so he smiled and said: "We have the best vegetable market in Baoshan County, and it must be the southern There are rich and noble families living in that area, and the county government is also there. The best place to buy fresh fruits and vegetables is, but the price is relatively higher. If you think the price is high, you can go to the North Gate. Although the gate is more crowded than the south gate, it is more crowded and people can buy fresh ones.”
After Zhou Du got the news he wanted, he thanked the shopkeeper of the inn, and came back and said to Shen Xi and Li Yu: "Go to the Nanmen vegetable market."
Shen Xi and Li Yu had no other good idea. After eating, they drove the black bear on the mule cart to the south gate vegetable market.
Nanmen vegetable market, as the name suggests, is a vegetable market close to the south of the county seat. They can find Nanmen vegetable market by walking all the way in the south direction.
The farther you go south, the wider the road, and the more prosperous the shops on both sides of the street. Just looking in from the outside of the shop, you can tell that ordinary people can't afford it, so ordinary pedestrians on the road are getting more and more expensive. few.
When there are fewer pedestrians, you can see many carriages of rich families with maids and servants on the street.
As the three of them walked, they noticed this scene, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. The more this happened, the more it proved that they did not come to the wrong place.
The three of them drove a mule cart to the Nanmen Vegetable Farm. There were not many retail traders selling vegetables here, and they were all neatly planned in one area. People think that the vegetables sold in the vegetable market outside are more juicy.
Shen Xi found someone to inquire about, found the guard guarding the vegetable market, and paid him five copper coins for the booth fee. Because they came late, they were assigned to a not-so-good position.
Fortunately, what they sell is not a best-seller, and it doesn't make any difference to them whether the location is good or not.
The three of them drove the mule cart to the booth, and didn't bother to set up any stalls. Instead, they pulled off the black cloth covering the mule cart, revealing the big black man lying on the mule cart.
The arrival of the three strangers, of course, attracted the attention of all the stall owners around, and even many people have been paying attention to their mule cart since they stepped here, wanting to see the black spot on the mule cart. Under the cloth, what is hidden.
Although there are not many stall owners here, everyone has a strong sense of competition. After all, selling things here can make a lot more money selling things at the North Gate. The same catty of vegetables can only be sold for five yuan at the North Gate. , and here at the South Gate can sell eight or ten.
But selling expensive also has its disadvantages, that is, the quantity is small. After all, there are only a few big families here, and the big families have long-term supply farmers, so it is destined that the Nanmen vegetable market will not be prosperous here. The things Zhou Du and the other three sold were similar to theirs, so wouldn't it be that there was one more business grabber?
So everyone stared at them, Zhoudu and the others took off the black cloth on the mule cart, revealing the fat black bear, and everyone in the vegetable market changed their expressions.
With a bang, many people made a sound of surprise, some of them were a little timid, and even covered their mouths with their hands, only showing a pair of terrified eyes.
"My God, it's a bear."
"How did you get that?"
"You have to go to the mountains to get this thing."
"Go to the mountains and meet this thing, can you survive?"
"..."
There were endless discussions around, and everyone looked at the black bear on Zhoudu's mule cart. Just the strong body of the black bear was amazing, not to mention the sharp and shiny claws that made people shudder.
Immediately, the eyes of the people in the vegetable market changed when they saw Zhou Du and the three of them. This group of people could even hunt bears, so they were not easy to provoke. Bears have nothing else and don't pose any threat to their business.
For a moment, those who wanted to squeeze Zhou Du and the other three out of their minds disappeared, and there were only exclamations left.
The others lamented so and so, but it had no effect on Zhoudu and the others who had heard too much in Taoyuan Village. They searched the crowd for someone who could buy the bear.
But unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, except for the exclamation of the stall owner next to him and the occasional exclamation of the black bear on the mule cart passing by, no one stopped in front of their stall and wanted to buy the black bear.
Shen Xi observed in the vegetable market for a while, and said to Zhou Du: "I think the people who buy vegetables here are maids and servants from rich families nearby. Black bear, so I can't wait here."
Zhou Du was also observing the passing crowd just now, and it was indeed as Shen Xi said, the people who came to buy vegetables were servants from rich families, even if there were a few ordinary rich people who went out to buy vegetables in person, they would see bears I can't help but eat it.
So you still have to find the kind of rich people who don't take money as money.
After listening to the conversation between the two of them, Li Yu said with a bit of distress: "Since we can't sell it here, then the five copper coins we just paid for the booth fee are not for nothing."
They have only been here for a long time, but the five copper coins can be placed here for a day. If the bear is sold, it is okay, but if they cannot be sold, they will leave before they stay for a long time. Thinking about it, they feel that it is a loss.
Shen Xi's eyes wandered around the stalls of the stall owners one by one, stopped in front of a stall, and smiled at Li Yu: "Who said we are leaving, you stay here, I will go shopping, maybe There are unexpected gains."
As Shen Xi said, he took out a tael of silver from his waist, and walked towards the booth where his eyes had stopped just now.
The stall owner was a tangerine seller, and the stall was filled with green and yellow tangerines, which made people feel articulate.
Shen Xi walked over without doing anything else, picked out a tangerine and asked: "Boss, how do you sell this tangerine?"
Seeing that Shen Xi was holding a silver ingot in his hand, the boss knew that he sincerely wanted to buy it, so he immediately said with a smile: "Twenty Wen a catty."
After hearing this, Shen Xi blurted out what was in his mouth: "It's so cheap, give me a five-jin scale."
The tangerine boss was taken aback by Shen Xi's words that it was so cheap, and then he heard that Shen Xi opened his mouth and asked for five catties, without even saying the price, the smile on his face became even bigger, and he hurriedly took out the scales to weigh the honey. orange.
While weighing, he also gave Shen Xi a peeled tangerine with only a few petals left: "You can taste the sweetness of my tangerine, and you won't feel disadvantaged by keeping it."
Shen Xi tasted a petal, and complimented: "It's really sweet, boss, I think your tangerines can be sold to rich people's homes."
Seeing that Shenxi is pleasing to the eye everywhere, the boss selling tangerines hurriedly waved his hands and said: "That's not okay, I heard that the tangerines in the homes of those big families cost one or two hundred and one catties. Twenty-sentences won’t catch their eye.”
"One or two hundred Wen a catty is just to eat a tangerine," Shen Xi showed a shocked expression appropriately, and then sighed, "I don't know that the rich families who can afford this two hundred Wen a catty are all how is it like."
Seeing that Shen Xi was curious, the boss pointed him in the direction and said enviously: "Did you see that other courtyard over there? His family is the richest man in our Baoshan County. I heard that even one of the servants there eats it every day." It’s delicacies from mountains and seas.”
Shen Xi looked in the direction he pointed, and after confirming the location, took the tangerines that the boss had weighed, and handed over the silver to settle the money.
At this time, a young man dressed in a brocade robe suddenly came to the booth, with a handsome face, he hurried to the booth of the tangerine boss, and asked anxiously, "Boss, do you have any particularly sour oranges?"
"Are you right?" The boss gave Shen Xi the money, and when he heard his request, he shook his head: "Master, I sell tangerines here, and all the oranges I sell are sweet ones, so there are no sour ones."
Shen Xi glanced at this young man in brocade curiously, only feeling familiar, but he has never been to the county town, and it is impossible to know people in the county town, counting the copper coins in his hand is not a big deal, and said to the boss of Tangerine : "The money is right."
After finishing speaking, he returned to Zhou Du's side with the tangerine in his hand.
Seeing that he had bought a bunch of tangerines back, Zhou Du hurriedly took them from him and put them on the mule cart beside him.
As soon as Shen Xi relaxed his hands, he was about to tell Zhou Du what he had gained, when the young man in brocade who was standing beside him just now followed behind him at some point.
He was about to pat Shen Xi's shoulder with his first hand. Seeing this, Zhou Du grabbed his hand before his hand touched Shen Xi's shoulder, cut him backwards, and pinned him firmly on the mule cart.
"It hurts, it hurts..." Young Master Jin Pao was suppressed by Zhou Du, and he moaned for a long time, but Zhou Du didn't let him go, and said angrily, "Zhou Heimian, let me go."
Zhou Du frowned: "Zhou Heimian?"
"Zhou..." The young man in brocade robe thought for a while before saying, "Zhou Du, Zhou Du, Zhou Du, let's go."
"Hey," Shen Xi said strangely, "How do you know his name is Zhou Du?"
The young man in brocade robe looked sideways at Shen Xi with difficulty, rolled his eyes and said, "Not only do I know his name is Zhou Du, I also know you, Chef Shen."
Zhou Du raised his eyebrows: "Cook Shen?"
"Shen..." The young man in brocade robe thought about it again, "Shen Xi, for Shen Xi, that's his name."
Shen Xi glanced at the face of Young Master Jin Pao, and was sure that he had never seen it before, but he was inexplicably familiar with it, and became even more curious: "Who are you, and how did you know us?"
"I, you don't know me anymore?" the young man in brocade robe said very embarrassingly.
Hearing this accent and combined with his height which was about the same as his own, Zhou Du thought of a person, and he relaxed the strength in his hands, releasing him from the restraint.
As soon as the young man in brocade robe was relieved, he immediately went to rub his dull shoulder, cursing and saying: "I haven't seen you for a few months, your kung fu has not gone backwards yet."
Zhou Du said coldly: "If you regress, I won't even regress."
The accent, the tone, and what they said, Shen Xi stared blankly at the handsome face of Mr. Jin Pao, and opened his lips: "You are, you are, you are that Meng Zupou!"
Meng Sui saw that Zhoudu Chenxi and the others recognized him, rubbed his arms and said with a smile: "I finally remembered who I am, but the name Meng Xiaodou can be dispensed with, I don't have any acne on my face now."
Zhou Du followed his words and looked at his face. Indeed, now Meng Sui's face was as smooth as a peeled egg. Not only did those scary pimples disappear, but there was not even a single pimple mark left. It's like changing a face.
Seeing Zhoudu Shenxi and the others surprised, Meng Sui proudly poked his face and said, "It's all thanks to Dr. Shen's contribution. I still use the medicine he left for me every day. This skin is getting worse every day. Good day, smoother day by day."
Meng Sui said while tidying up his slightly messy clothes, standing in front of them with a human appearance, making a gesture, raised his eyebrows at Shen Xi and said: "Well, now my son is more handsome, handsome and suave? gone."
He still remembered what Shen Xi praised him for. Shen Xi twitched the corners of his lips, looked at him like two idiots playing tricks, and hurriedly turned his head to look at Zhou Du who was standing by the side watching the play. He still thought Zhou Du was the prettiest. .
Zhou Du noticed Shen Xi's gaze, turned his head, met the star in Shen Xi's gaze, and nodded slightly.
Meng Sui played handsome for a long time, seeing that Shen Xi didn't even give him a look, he retracted his posture in embarrassment, and coughed: "Ahem, cough, it's okay, don't flirt with each other, like who doesn't know you are a couple. "
Shen Xi withdrew his admiring gaze from Zhou Du, looked at Meng Sui calmly, and asked wonderingly: "Didn't you take your daughter-in-law to join your father after you got married? Why are you still in Baoshan County?"
Meng Jui waved his hand, with an unhappy expression on his face: "Don't mention it."
Shen Xi asked again: "What's wrong?"
"Hi," Meng Sui scratched his head embarrassingly, and said with a little blushing, "I took my daughter-in-law to join my father not long after I got married, but you also know that I am a newlywed, so the road will inevitably be a bit rough. Slow down, and then arrived at Baoshan County..."
Shen Xi was listening enthusiastically, and seeing that he stopped talking, he couldn't help asking: "What happened when we arrived in Baoshan County?"
Meng Sui laughed dryly, feeling even more embarrassed: "When I arrived in Baoshan County, I found that my daughter-in-law had a poor appetite and often vomited, so I found a doctor in the county to treat my daughter-in-law."
Before Shen Xi could react, he asked worriedly: "What disease?"
"I'm not sick," Meng Sui said, patting the flushed face, trying to calm himself down, and said slowly, "I'm pregnant."
Meng Sui went on to say: "And when we arrived in Baoshan County, it happened to be about two months after we got married. The doctor said that he was probably two months pregnant. I calculated the date, and it seemed that it was the day I got married. Up."
Shen Xi was stunned.
After Meng Sui finished speaking, his face was a bit sad and he said: "It's not suitable for long-distance travel when you are pregnant. We have to stay at the relative's house in the county. After the child is born, we will go to the place where my father takes office."
The more Shen Xi listened, the more frustrated he became. Thinking that he and Zhou Du hadn't accomplished anything yet, Meng Sui was already a father, so he raised his hand to interrupt him: "Stop talking, I don't want to hear it anymore."
