C14 Take the Bracken to Town
The family could only sell it at a lower price, so Zhang Daniu bought it back.
Their luck was pretty good. It was unknown what they had fed them, but they had started eating. Their family didn't have any food for the pigs to eat, so they just grazed the plants and threw them to the pigs.
"Mom, I have something to tell you." Zhang Xiaoyu walked slowly towards him.
Zhao Qun tossed the straw in her hands to the pig and wiped her hands on her apron. She turned around and asked with concern, "What's the matter, Xiaoyu? Is there something wrong?" He reached out his hand to try Xiaoyu's forehead.
Xiaoyu tilted her head and dodged, "It's not Mom, it's me who wants to go and take a look around town tomorrow, is that okay?" She tilted her head, her eyes were wide open, and looked very cute.
"What are you going to do?" Xiaoyu had never liked going out. Could it be that she wanted to go shopping? Zhao Qun wondered.
"Nothing, I just cooked some food, didn't I? You all said it's delicious, but I just want to go to the town and see if anyone wants it. " He put his hand on Zhao Qun's arm and leaned on her intimately.
Zhao Qun was silent. How could the rich people in the city like these? However, it was good that Xiaoyu had this kind of heart, "You can go. Do you want me to accompany you?" Xiaoyu wasn't fully recovered yet, so she couldn't be at ease.
"Thank you mother, but there's no need. I've already discussed this with brother, he's coming with me." "Mom," Xiaoyu replied happily. It was great. She thought Mom wouldn't agree.
Then he ran over to tell his dad. Zhang Daniu also agreed and just said he had to be careful.
All Xiaoyu needed to think about now was how to take the fern to town. It could either be sold when it was born, but no one had ever seen it and couldn't eat it, so why would they want it? Or it could be handled and dried and sold, but she didn't have that much time now.
This thing had to be soaked in water to feel fresh, but it couldn't stay so for an entire night, so it was fine.
Zhang Xiaoyu searched for a long time before finally finding a small wooden bucket. It was just right that she poured the fern into it and scooped up some water to soak it up.
The next day, Xiaoyu woke up very early. Just like yesterday, she made a lot of cakes and placed them on a plate. She also picked up some cakes and put them in a clean handkerchief, preparing to eat on the way.
He called Zhang Xiaoquan to get up and each of them ate a few pieces of cake. Then, he brought another bamboo bucket of water. Xiaoyu put the bucket in the basket for Xiaoquan to carry, and they set off.
At this time, the genius was grey and bright, the wind blowing on his body was especially cold. However, after walking for a while, everything was fine.
The moment the two of them left the room, Zhang Daniu and Zhao Qun woke up. When they saw that Xiaoyu had left the cake on the plate, they lowered their heads and smiled.
Xiaoyu and Xiaoquan were walking along the road. Xiaoquan was feeling better. Although he carried some stuff on his back, he was old and often went down to the ground so he wasn't too tired. Xiaoyu could not do it. Her body was not well in the first place. In modern times, she had to take the bus for every three steps. Now, she was not used to walking at all.
"Big brother, let's take a break. It's still early, there's no rush." Xiaoyu helped Xiaoquan put the basket on the ground, took out a piece of cake and handed it to Xiaoquan. After finishing the cake and drinking the water, the two of them continued on their way while chatting and laughing.
When it was about noon, they finally saw the main gate of the town. Xiaoyu's heart skipped a beat. They had finally arrived. She wanted to see what the ancient streets looked like.
"Xiaoyu, can I take you to the market?" Xiaoquan carried a basket on his back and a basket filled with ferns soaked in water. No matter what, it had to be at least 20 catties. However, he stood straight and did not complain.
