Traveling Through Ancient Times To Be a ShopkeeperChapter 27.2

*

There are also some who live nearby who bought them home and wanted to buy them again. The coleslaw is good to eat, and adults and children are addicted to it. 8j5DSz

There were also a few customers who bought it back to their homes, and the family scolded them when they saw that it was just a messy vegetarian dish.

“Why did you buy vegetarian dishes? Don’t you know how to cook them at home, why do you have to spend money to buy them? How much is it?”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

“Fifteen wen, I saw that the food was delicious, and I liked the crispy pork, so I bought some.”

Wei Cheng didn’t mention the pig’s ears, so as not to be disgusted by the customers before eating them, Wei Cheng changed the name. iEOwdZ

“What! Fifteen wen?” The woman yelled, staring at the bag of vegetables and the few pieces of meat, asking whether her son had been cheated, and immediately swearing, scolding her son, scolding the black-hearted boss. She was aggressive and wanted to settle accounts with his boss.

The man who bought the coleslaw quickly grabbed his old mother and insisted on letting her eat it. The coleslaw was so delicious, he didn’t say that he couldn’t help but buy a portion first, otherwise, he would definitely be beaten by his mother.

His wife who was busy in the kitchen and his father and children who were in the house all ran out to watch the show, and they all thought that it was too expensive.

But when the whole family ate it, they all said it was delicious, and even the children who didn’t like to eat in hot weather had an appetite.

Several other families are also performing this show but they all like to eat coleslaw in the end.

However, there are still some people who are stingy and budget-conscious, thinking that the price of vegetarian dishes is not worth it, and it is cheaper to cook them yourself. After someone tries it, they will know what the difference is.

Most of the materials for Wei Cheng’s stalls were bought from shops in the suburbs, and a certain amount was sent from the shop every day. The vegetables at home were bought from their neighbors, and some were bought at the market. wyLelc

After finishing the lunch market, the reservations that should be made have been made, Wei Lei is in charge of receiving the goods at home while Wei Cheng takes his wife to the market, he wants to see if there are any new ingredients in the market.

He said it was to see new ingredients in order to persuade a certain person- he then bought things for his wife when they found something delicious, and the two walked slowly as they shopped.

They bought sugar candies, chestnuts, fried dough twists, candied fruit, and croquettes—Wei Cheng carried a lot of oil paper bags, and he only asked his wife to eat them.

Wei Cheng suddenly saw familiar ingredients, took his wife by the hand, and walked over. 9zTU8x

It was a man in rough clothes with a lot of patches, his face was yellow and thin, and he squatted in front of a pile of things with a gloomy expression. Passers-by passed by without even looking at them.

“For how much do you sell these bamboo shoots?”

Li Shuiqing sat squatting in the market for almost a day, but he couldn’t sell anything, and the food at home was already depleted. Although he could fill his stomach with the food he was selling, he didn’t have money to buy medicine for his sick parents. What should he do?

Wei Cheng’s words made Li Shuiqing, who was on the verge of despair, look up instantly, his eyes were still red, and before he had time to calm down, he hurriedly said, “Bamboo shoots cost three wen each.” Then, he waited nervously for the customer to speak. RtDvw8

Seeing that the customer didn’t speak, Li Shuiqing became even more nervous, afraid that Wei Cheng would leave, so he hurriedly said, “Two wen, I was wrong just now, do you want to buy some?”

Wei Cheng pointed to something black and asked, “Are those dried mushrooms?” l2Sih1

“Yes, it’s dried mushroom.” There are many mushrooms in the mountains, and Li Shuiqing picks a lot of mushrooms every day. They can be sold but there is no shortage of villagers who sell mushrooms in this season. He can’t sell it every time and because he is a ger, his clothes are shabby- customers would rather buy from villagers with neater clothes than his.

The mushroom can only be used as rations for his family, but he picked a lot of mushrooms and couldn’t store them. He wanted to dry it in the sun but because the family urgently needed money, he tried selling it to see if he could sell it for a little, even a wen or two.

People who see dried mushrooms are afraid that the mushroom is not good, so no one would buy it.

“For how much do you sell dried mushrooms?” Wei Cheng knelt down and looked at the mushroom. yvEg9A

There are also people who know how to dry the mushroom into dried goods, but they are not dry enough to keep for a long time, so they can buy some and take them home.

“Dried mushroom costs five wen a catty.”

Wei Cheng felt that the price was too cheap.

He stood up, and with his movements, Li Shuiqing misunderstood that he was about to leave- he was suddenly flustered, his eyes were red, and he was so anxious he could cry. BwjMmd

He must sell these things, even if he has to beg the customers. He knows that if his mother and father don’t take medicine for their illness, he will lose his parents.

But the next second, Li Shuiqing was stunned—

“I want both mushroom and bamboo shoots.”

Wei Cheng’s words were like the sounds of nature, making Li Shuiqing think he was dreaming, so he didn’t respond for a while. PuSsvM

“What’s the matter, you won’t sell them?” Wei Cheng raised his eyebrows, if he didn’t sell it, he would leave.

Apart from being very patient with his wife, Wei Cheng has no patience with outsiders.

There are plenty of bamboo shoots in the countryside, and he remembered that the coleslaw lacked bamboo shoots when they made it, so he could find someone to dig it out in the village.

“Husband, how can you talk like that, Brother didn’t say no.” Zhou Yuan said softly and gave him a disapproving glance. TpQLxy

There must be difficulties at this gers family in front of him, so he was flustered.

He began to think that his husband was helping others when he saw their difficulties but he was familiar with his husband’s emotions so this was definitely not the case.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

He just doesn’t know why his husband buys these bamboo shoots for. This thing is astringent and tastes average.

How could Li Shuiqing not sell it, he was in a hurry to sell them, but he had nothing to pack them with except for the basket so he was sweating anxiously. EvuUNs

Wei Cheng didn’t know why the person didn’t move- they were in a hurry.

Zhou Yuan immediately saw Li Shuiqing’s reason, “Brother, our house is not that far from the market, can you send things to our house?”

Zhou Yuan’s words relieved Li Shuiqing’s urgent need, so he hurriedly said, “Yes, I’ll put them on the basket right away.”

Only then did Wei Cheng know the reason. Re9Egy

He took his wife’s hand and squeezed it, rewarding him for being smart.

Zhou Yuan blushed from being held, deeply afraid that outsiders would see their intimate behavior.

Wei Cheng chuckled lightly.

After buying everything, Wei Cheng took his wife home. 9DyZig

Li Shuiqing silently followed behind the two and only then did he have the time to look at the couple in front of him.

Only then did he notice that the man doted on his husband very much, the man was holding a lot of things in his hand, but his husband had nothing in his hand. The man still took out food from the oil paper bag and handed it to his husband from time to time, his actions were full of warmth.

Li Shuiqing thinks that this ger is really lucky to be able to marry such a man who treats him well.

Judging from their clothes, their family background should be good. uj6yhi

He had also often fantasized about his future husband but with his family situation, if he gets married, how will his parents and younger siblings survive, and he will already pass the age of marriage when his younger siblings grow up.

But he has no regrets, even if he cannot marry in the future.

Li Shuiqing followed them to their house and looked at the old house. There were traces of repairs, and the yard was neatly tidied up, but it could also be seen that it was dilapidated.

These two people don’t look like they live in such a poor house. HhVFBO

Li Shuiqing is not a troublesome person. To him, this couple is his benefactor.

Putting down the bamboo shoots and mushrooms, Li Shuiqing took the copper coins handed over by Zhou Yuan. He couldn’t count them yet but he was very excited, and he held the money tightly in his palm. He had money to buy medicine for his mother and father, and he could also buy some sweet potatoes and coarse grains to take home.

Li Shuiqing bent down and respectfully said, “Thank you!”

Wei Cheng was stunned for a moment before recovering, Zhou Yuan understood and said with a smile, “There is no need for thanks, we are just a normal business. Also, my family needs mushroom and bamboo shoots every day. The bamboo shoots would be delivered according to today’s quantity, and you can send as many mushrooms as you like. Is it convenient for you to deliver it every day?” This is what his husband said just now, and he asked him to tell this to Li Shuiqing. JrQTXp

“You really want me to send mushroom and bamboo shoots?” Li Shuiqing’s eyes widened, and he couldn’t believe what he heard. If he sent them every day, his family would be rich in the future, and the family would not be afraid of starvation.

Zhou Yuan said, “My family is in the catering business, and we need it every day. You can deliver it here in the afternoon. By the way, can you break open the inner core of the bamboo shoots? This way you don’t need to bring all the heavy shells.”

“Yes. I will deliver them on time tomorrow.” Li Shuiqing said excitedly.

He wasn’t hallucinating. rfJizp

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, “I don’t know your name yet?”

Li Shuiqing said, “My name is Li Shuiqing, and I live in Nanbian Village.”

Nanbian Village?

This ger is in the same village as Wei Cheng? UxI2pi

The husband and wife were surprised.

Wei Cheng didn’t know this person but Wei Lei happened to meet him when he came back from fetching things outside.

“Wei Lei?!” Li Shuiqing knew Wei Lei, why is he here?

Wei Lei has met Li Shuiqing but doesn’t know his name. 0hJmkD

After introducing Li Shuiqing to him, he now knew that the person who bought his things was from the same village as he was.

Li Shuiqing didn’t know Wei Cheng as he was still quite unknown in the village.

After Li Shuiqing left, the yard became busy.
