Chapter 6: Encountering thugs in town
Early the next morning, after having breakfast, Ruan Qingqing and others went to the town to sell them with Ruan Wantie, carrying two pheasants, mushrooms and fungus.
Ruan Qingqing didn't know the price of pheasants, or in other words, she didn't know the prices of things in that era. Ruan Wantie knew nothing about street wontons, buns, steamed buns, and sesame cakes, except for how much a bowl of wontons cost.
After taking a few deep breaths, Ruan Qingqing made a decision.
When she arrived in town, she was not in a hurry to sell the goods but first went to understand the market situation.
After some inquiries and a rough idea of the prices in this dynasty, she found a corner among the stalls and put down her backpack.
She looked left and right and saw that everyone was shouting.
I can't rely on my father anymore, I have to rely on myself to sell the things.
"hum"
After clearing her throat slightly, Ruan Qingqing started shouting like others.
"Selling wild mushrooms, a delicacy from the wild! Smells delicious and nourishing! Selling pheasants, delicious and nutritious! There is a saying that pheasants stewed with wild mushrooms are so delicious that even gods will cry! Don't miss it if you pass by!"
Her voice is clear and bright, and most importantly, her words are fresh and interesting.
It is highly recognizable among the crowd of shouting.
The uncles and aunts nearby were all amused and laughed out loud.
"Girl, pheasant stewed with wild mushrooms is really so delicious that it makes the gods cry."
Someone with a curious mind asked.
"Grandpa, why don't you buy some and stew it and try it and you'll know?"
"Ha ha!"
The people around burst into laughter again.
Ruan Qingqing continued to shout.
"Selling wild mushrooms, a delicacy from the wild! Smells delicious and nourishing! Selling pheasants, delicious and nutritious! There is a saying that pheasants stewed with wild mushrooms are so delicious that even gods will cry! Don't miss it if you pass by!"
Soon, a middle-aged man in a brown robe stood in front of Ruan Qingqing's backpack and asked, "Little girl, how do you sell these pheasants and wild mushrooms?"
Seeing that there was business coming, Ruan Qingqing quickly cheered up to deal with it.
"Uncle, I can tell you know what you are talking about. This pheasant is tastier and more nutritious than ordinary domestic chickens. Domestic chickens sell for 40 cents each, but I'll sell it for 50 cents. If you buy two, it'll be 90 cents. And my wild mushrooms are more delicious and fragrant than other varieties, and they're harder to find. I'll sell them for two for one cent, but I'll give one for every 20 you buy."
The middle-aged man looked over the two pheasants and wild mushrooms and nodded with satisfaction, "Pack them all for me!"
"okay!"
Ruan Qingqing counted the wild mushrooms and wrapped them in large leaves while recommending the black fungus at hand to him.
"Uncle, I have some black fungus here. Would you like to buy some to try? Wash it and stir-fry it with meat and add some chili. It's fragrant but not greasy, and goes really well with rice!"
The middle-aged man hesitated for only a moment, then nodded in agreement. "How much do you sell this fungus for?"
"I don't have a scale here. Just give us ten cents for all these, and we'll earn our hard-earned money. If you find them delicious, come buy them from me next time, uncle."
Ruan Qingqing said cheerfully.
The middle-aged man nodded, "Give it to me too!"
"okay!"
Ruan Qingqing quickly packed all the things for him one by one, and then tied them up with green vines, so they were very safe whether he held them in his hands or put them in the car.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man couldn't help but look at Ruan Qingqing a few more times.
"Uncle, the pheasant is ninety cents, the fungus is ten cents, and the wild mushroom is forty-one cents. The total is one hundred and forty-one cents. You can just give one hundred and forty cents."
The middle-aged man took out the silver and asked casually, "Did the little girl go to school?"
Ruan Qingqing was stunned for a moment, then she grinned, "I didn't go to any school, but my brother did, so I just learned a little bit from him."
The middle-aged man nodded in understanding and handed the silver and copper coins to Ruan Wantie. When Ruan Wantie saw the silver, his eyes suddenly brightened.
Ruan Qingqing took the silver and copper coins first, looked up and smiled at the middle-aged man, "Thank you for your patronage, uncle!"
The middle-aged man was surprised for a moment, nodded at her and turned away.
"Oh, you guys are so lucky! They were all sold out in no time!"
The people around looked envious.
"Luck, it's all luck!"
Ruan Qingqing laughed and said goodbye to everyone, then pulled Ruan Wantie out.
"Daya, we made money today!" Ruan Wantie said excitedly.
"Then what?" Zhang Yunran raised his eyebrows and looked at him.
"And then, and then..." Ruan Wantie talked hesitantly for a long time but couldn't make any sense. Instead, he glanced in the direction of the gambling house several times.
What else doesn't Ruan Qingqing know?
Her face darkened, and she asked word by word, "And then what?"
Ruan Wantie was shocked all over and waved his hands repeatedly, "Nothing, nothing!"
Ruan Qingqing snorted at him coldly, said nothing more, and continued to walk towards the grain shop.
After drinking wild vegetable soup without salt or oil for so many days, she was fed up.
We must buy some food, oil and salt to bring back now.
However, as soon as they turned a corner, they were surrounded by several thugs.
"Little girl, it seems that you haven't paid any tribute to me, Brother Dong, by selling the things you have sold! You don't know the rules, it seems like you need someone to teach you a lesson!"
The leading scoundrel, who was full of evil spirit, tilted his head, raised his chin, and spoke to Ruan Qingqing with his nose facing the sky.
Ruan Qingqing curled her lips and smiled, "I want to see how you want to teach me."
"Hand over the silver you have on you, or I'll make you suffer!"
"You are robbing people on the road. Do you still have the law?"
Ruan Wantie hurriedly walked in front of Ruan Qingqing, protected her, and yelled at the thugs.
The hooligans winked at each other and burst into laughter at the same time.
"The law? Here, Brother Dong is the law!"
Ruan Qingqing lowered her eyebrows. She only earned a little more than a dollar, but someone was already eyeing her. This was really...
She couldn't help but curse the national quintessence in her heart.
"Really? Then I'd like to ask for your advice!"
Ruan Qingqing pushed Ruan Wantie aside, took a run-up and punched the leader.
"Crack!"
The sound of breaking bones was particularly clear in this secluded corner.
"Ah! It hurts so much, why don't you come and help me!"
The leader cried out in pain.
The remaining thugs were stunned by Ruan Qingqing's bravery. Not to mention helping, they were all so scared that their legs and feet were shaking.
"Please spare me, aunt! We are blind and don't recognize the great man!"
After they realized what was happening, they immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Waste!" the leader cursed angrily.
Ruan Qingqing punched him a few more times, causing him to fall to the ground immediately without being able to even cry out in pain.
"Get out of here! Please avoid me next time you see me, or I'll beat you up every time I see you!"
Ruan Qingqing said angrily.
Those people hurriedly carried their leader and fled.
"Bah! What a bunch of ignorant people! How can we look like rich people?"
Ruan Wantie couldn't help but spit at their backs.
"They are just some hooligans who take advantage of their numbers to bully the weak! Dad, let's go!"
Because Ruan Wantie had protected her behind his back before, Ruan Qingqing suddenly felt that her father was not completely useless and there was still room for improvement.
