When they came back with a basket of cherries and a basket of nectarines, Chu Xiao and Lin Zheng were so shocked that they were speechless for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, he said, "Peaches? How can there be peaches now? Where did you buy them?"

"Yeah, it's autumn now!"

Chu Jinnian and Mumu tilted their heads to look and discovered that there were nectarines that they had eaten before. Their eyes almost popped out!

"Mom! Peaches! Crunchy and sweet peaches!"

Shen Zhi: "Mom and Dad, these peaches are preserved using a special method. I saw that they are good, so I bought a few for you to eat."

"How come this... doesn't look wilted at all, doesn't look like it was picked a long time ago."

"This peach ripens late."

Chu Jinzhou: "Yes! They mature late! I only have these few for sale, and my mother bought them all."

Shen Zhi looked at him, and the little guy smiled with his little mouth pursed.

Although Chu Xiao and Lin Zheng still didn't believe it, they had no other explanation. Otherwise, the fresh peaches in front of them couldn't be fake.

"This peach looks really big. I wonder if it tastes good?"

"It's delicious! It's really delicious!" Chu Jinnian explained anxiously, "Grandpa and grandma, you'll know after you eat it!"

Shen Zhi washed a peach for each of them and said, "Eat it. We'll go home after you're done."

Take a bite of the nectarine, it’s crispy and sweet!

Chu Xiao and Lin Zheng were shocked. How expensive would such peaches be?

Besides, they had never tasted peaches so delicious! It was incredible.

Everyone ate a big peach and some cherries, and their rumbling stomachs were finally filled.

After ordering chickens for the next day, the family went shopping at the market.

Planning to buy some vegetables and meat.

Shen Zhi bought about ten pounds of lotus roots and ten pounds of beans.

In addition to these, I also bought a pig's head.

Pig heads are cheap and delicious after being braised, making them perfect for the craftsmen to eat.

After buying, everyone came out of the vegetable market.

But just after they left for a while, Chu Jinnian and Mumu saw something and screamed in fright.

"Ah! Grandpa and grandma! Mother! Brother!"

"Ah! Niannian! It's toads! So many toads!"

"Niannian! Protect me!"

"Mumu, I'm scared too, please protect me!"

"Wow, wow, wow...I don't dare."

These two little guys are not afraid of anything except toads, which are covered with bumps and look extremely ugly.

Shen Zhi was frightened by the two little guys, "What toad? Where are the toads?"

Chu Jinzhou hugged his two younger brothers and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. I'll use my slingshot to shoot the toad away!"

"You can't hit it! If you hit a toad, you will get sores on your hands." Lin Zheng said seriously.

Chu Jinzhou didn't know what to do this time.

Shen Zhi looked around and finally saw the thing that made the two little guys so scared that they were trembling all over and hugging each other.

"Not a toad!"

"Really not, this is edible... Don't be afraid, it won't bite you..."

I saw a boy of about fourteen or fifteen years old explaining with a flushed face.

Seeing that the two little guys were shouting and attracting everyone around, he became even more anxious.

This thing of his is not easy to sell in the first place, and has already been disliked by many people. This time, I’m afraid it will be even harder to sell!

Shen Zhi hurried over.

I saw that the bucket in front of him was filled with half a bucket of bullfrogs.

Shen Zhi squatted down and took a closer look. It was indeed a bullfrog, not a toad.

I don’t know how the boy caught such a big bucket. It’s very difficult to catch such a thing.

"Oh! Mother, don't come near me, come here! Be careful or it will give you sores!"

"Mother! Come here!"

"Oops!"

The three little guys were more worried than each other.

Chu Xiao and Lin Zheng stood beside her, looking at the bucket of ugly stuff, and dared not look any further.

"Shen Zhi, hurry up and stop looking. There are plenty of these things in the fields."

Shen Zhi didn't stand up, but asked about the price, "Brother, how much do you sell this for?"

You Xiaoshan was stunned.

"You...you want to buy it?!"

Shen Zhi nodded, "If the price is right, I'd like to buy it."

Chu Xiao and Lin Zheng quickly grabbed her when they heard this, "Shen Zhi, why did you buy this thing? It's useless! And they are afraid every year, aren't you afraid too?"

Chu Jinnian and the other three little guys were completely dumbfounded.

"Mother...Mother, why did you buy this? It's so ugly...it's a toad..."

Chu Jinnian's voice trembled.

"Mom, please don't buy it, okay?"

When You Xiaoshan heard this, the smile on his face instantly turned into disappointment, and he said, how could anyone really buy this?

And even if it is edible, it is not particularly delicious.

It is ugly and unsightly. Even if it tastes good, I'm afraid no one would dare to eat it.

He sighed.

Shen Zhi: "Little brother, just tell me the price. If the price is right, I will buy it."

Seeing that she was determined to have her own way and could not be persuaded, Chu Xiao and Lin Zheng sighed and just ignored her.

You Xiaoshan said in a daze: "Really... If you really want to buy it, I'll give you the whole bucket, and you just give me 20 cents... No, cents will be enough!"

"Why are you selling it so cheap?" Shen Zhi frowned, "This thing must be hard to catch, right?"

You Xiaoshan hung his head, "I caught these all night, it's OK... but no one bought it, 15 cents is already good."

Shen Zhi pursed her lips and said, "I'll give you fifty cents, but from now on, you have to sell all the bullfrogs you catch to me."

"Bullfrog?" You Xiaoshan was puzzled. "What is that?"

Shen Zhi: "These toads in the bucket."

When You Xiaoshan heard this, he couldn't help laughing and nodded quickly, "Okay! I'll sell them all to you!"

Shen Zhi counted out fifty coins and handed them to him. "I'll take this bucket back first. You can come to the newly opened Linhe Chicken Pot in the county town tomorrow to get it."

"it is good!"

You Xiaoshan counted the coins and smiled from ear to ear.

Shen Zhi estimated that the bullfrogs in the bucket weighed about 10 to 20 kilograms.

She felt a little guilty for buying 20 kilograms of bullfrogs for 50 cents, as if she was cheating someone.

However, no one in this dynasty ate this kind of thing, and it could not be sold at a high price.

Being able to give so much is already very good.

"Mom, Dad, kids, let's go."

Shen Zhi was holding a bucket of eyeballs and rolling around, wondering when a bullfrog would jump out and greet everyone.

Everyone swallowed and wanted to say something, but didn't know how to say it.

"Let me carry it. It must be very heavy." Chu Xiao said.

Shen Zhi didn't refuse.

Chu Xiao lifted it up, wishing he could stretch his arms out, but the contents of the bucket were really heavy, so he could only lift it as far away from himself as possible.

Chu Jinnian took a look and quickly turned his face away in fear. Mu Mu didn't dare to look at him at all.

Chu Jinzhou also frowned.

Finally, Lin Zheng couldn't hold it in any longer, "Shen Zhi, what are you going to do with this toad?"
