Quickly spit out the dragon god's pregnant fruit

Xiao Lian was worried about Bai Jiao, so he didn't want to go shopping, he just wanted to find out the situation quickly.He was empty-handed, and soon arrived at the vegetable market.

It was afternoon, but the vegetable market was extremely lively.

People selling pork and mutton, crabs, fish and shrimp, fungus, etc. can be found everywhere, and most of them are happy as if they are celebrating the New Year.Especially the first two, they were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths.

Xiao Lian saw a fish seller pulling out the few crabs he had. He got up and went to line up in front of a stall, leaving only one child there to take care of his own fish stall.

The stall was crowded with anxious people like him.I don't know what is being said inside, it is so noisy that people can't hear it clearly.

Xiao Lian wanted to join in the fun, but was pushed away. "Go aside, what's the matter with you without crabs?"

He staggered, and if he hadn't supported the desk beside him in time, he might have fallen down.

At this time, there was a thunderous voice beside him: "What are you touching? Can you afford to pay for dirty meat?"

Xiao Lian calmed down, turned around and looked at the place where the sound came from.

In front of him was a meat rack with pieces of meat hanging from several iron hooks.Under the meat is a dirty and blood-stained desk.Behind the desk, a big butcher was glaring at him viciously with a bloody sharp knife.

!!!

Xiao Lian hurriedly took a step back, feeling sticky and bloody on his hands, only to realize that he had just pressed down on the desk.

"I'm sorry." Xiao Lian smiled sheepishly.

The butcher snorted, ignored Xiao Lian, and said loudly, "You all heard it just now. The price of meat should be different in different situations. The price of this meat will increase by three renminbi per catty. Buy it or not."

A man behind Xiao Lian hurriedly squeezed into the front row, causing a commotion in the crowd, and Xiao Lian was squeezed out just like that.

The man complained just now: "Why don't you steal money? It's the eighth day of the winter lunar month, one month away from Laba, so you're not afraid that the price will be too expensive and no one will buy it, and the meat will all go bad?"

"I said, do you buy it or not? If you don't buy it, someone else will." Others pushed him dissatisfied.

The butcher smiled complacently: "Not to mention that there is so much meat on the market that no worries about people buying it, even if I can't sell it now, wouldn't it be enough to make bacon? Why don't you worry about this meat not being able to serve the Lord Marquis' banquet?"

"Give me half a catty quickly. If you don't eat it, you have to save some for your ancestors. With this posture, you will definitely not be able to buy pork by then. Fortunately, it is cold, and pork is not afraid of letting it go. It's okay to store it early."

"Give me half a catty, no, one catty!"

……

Lord Hou's banquet, what's going on?

The people who bought the meat crowded the place, and Xiao Lian couldn't do it if he wanted to inquire about the situation, so he had to find another way.

He took a few steps back and looked around.Soon, he locked on to the target—it was another young butcher not far away.

Different from this side, the other butcher's place is empty, and it seems that they are about to close their stalls.

Xiao Lian walked towards him and said, "Brother, here's half a catty of pork."

Old Doctor Chen said that if he wanted to give Bai Jiao some delicious food, he would buy some pork for Bai Jiao, and he also took the opportunity to inquire about it.

The butcher looked small, about fifteen or sixteen years old.For some reason, he was the only one taking care of the stall. Where was his father?

The little butcher waved his hand: "It's too late, there's no more meat."

"Is there anything else? Ribs or something."

"Sparse ribs? There are, but..."

"What is it?"

The little butcher was a little embarrassed, but he squatted down and rummaged behind the counter, and then he picked up several long ribs and put them on the counter: "Do you want the wild boar? It may have a taste, not as delicious as domestic pigs." used."

Xiao Lian smiled upon hearing this: "What price?"

"A piece of three words."

Xiao Lian thought it was a bit interesting, saying that buying is not as good as selling, and there are still sellers who push their business outside.It was the first time he met someone he thought was honest, and he couldn't help but think of Bai Jiao's way of saying he was stupid.

He had eaten wild boar once when he was a child, and the taste was not unacceptable, so let's buy some back to make Bai Jiao recover sooner, and also come to see someone who is more honest than himself.

"Bring me four. My brother is really sincere, and he actually pushes the business out. Your father let you see the stall, aren't you afraid of losing money?" Xiao Lian couldn't help being curious.

"My father is dead. He sometimes collects wild boars from hunters. A few days ago, when this wild boar was brought over, we all thought it was dead. Who knew that it still had a breath and killed my father. I just took it. Stall. The villagers think I’m small, and if I don’t ask me to kill the pig, I won’t get much new pork. I’ve been selling this wild boar for the past few days.”

Xiao Lian felt a little regretful, "My condolences...forget it, give me ten sticks, and take care of your business."

"Thank you, brother." The little butcher showed surprise, and he hurriedly helped Xiao Lian clean up.

Although he regretted what happened to the little butcher, Xiao Lian still didn't forget what he wanted to do. He asked, "My little brother has been here all the time? Do you know what's going on with Lord Hou's banquet?"

When the little butcher talked about this, he couldn't help suppressing his sadness: "The buyer of the Hou's Mansion just came to the vegetable market and said that when Lord Hou is going to worship ancestors and gods on the Laba Festival, he also announced to everyone that Lord Hou's long-lost parents and children have returned. Therefore, a big banquet is held, and the big guys are asked to save up the good things on hand first, and then sell them to the Hou Yefu.

I also found out that Mrs. Hou Ye gave birth to twins, but accidentally lost one.The remaining one died not long ago, and the lost one was found today.Lord Hou decided to hold a lively banquet a month later, so as to avoid bad luck. "

today?That's very likely to be Jiang Chen.

If so, did Jiang Chen have such a bumpy life experience?No wonder he kept urging him to come to Jiangcheng. It turned out that he wanted to reunite with his family, but it was really a trick.

However, Xiao Lian still had doubts. He pouted at the group of people holding crabs, motioned the little butcher to look there, and asked, "Why are they holding crabs over there? What does that stall do?"

"Hou Ye loves to eat crabs, and he wants to entertain guests. Crabs are indispensable. Now that the river is closed, fishermen can't catch a few crabs in a day, and its price will naturally rise.

The Hou Mansion has been sending Guanshi Liu to collect crabs, but Guanshi Liu is impatient and only accepts one crab, so he entrusts this matter to his cousin Liu Mazi.The fishermen caught crabs and sold them to Liu Mazi first. He bought and sold crabs, and he probably made a lot of money. "

"That's it." Xiao Lian was thoughtful.

Jiang Chen is the eldest son of the Hou family, he won't be able to see each other for a while, and he has a bad relationship with him, so he might not be able to buy his mother back from him.But Lord Hou likes to eat crabs.He thought of the crabs he caught in Baisha River that month, and thought that selling crabs could be a breakthrough.

If he sold the crabs to Liu Mazi like those people, he probably wouldn't be able to catch up with the Hou Mansion.

He had to meet this pockmarked Liu first.

Thinking of this, Xiao Lian asked, "What kind of person is Liu Mazi?"

"Da Liuzi."

"What?" Xiao Lian didn't hear clearly.

The little butcher glanced around and said in a low voice, "If you're okay, it's best not to have anything to do with him. He has a dark heart and refuses to pay more for the crabs, but sells them to the Hou's mansion at a high price. He is still a man, regardless of gender, age or gender." , especially like to abduct people from other places, and have done a lot of outrageous things. Your accent is not like ours, so it's better to talk to him less."

Xiao Lian got a lot of news from the little butcher one after another. He was very grateful to him, and pitied him for being bereaved when he was young, so he simply wrapped up the remaining ribs here.

I won't show how grateful the little butcher is.

Because of what the little butcher said, Xiao Lian didn't go to the dental shop to have another look.

He was walking back to Tong Shan Tang with a pile of spare ribs, feeling worried.

He wanted to buy his mother, and it seemed that he couldn't avoid Liu Mazi.But according to the little butcher, it's best not to have anything to do with him.How to do it?

Crabs can be sold or not, teeth can be bought or not, but mothers must buy them.

Don't pay attention to so much, go directly to the Hou's mansion, take two ingots of gold, a total of 20 taels of silver, should be enough to buy your mother, right?
