In the book, I was fed by my sister

Accompanied by the sound of wheels rubbing against the soil, the ox cart swayed to Fengxian County.

Song Ran took out four copper coins from his bag and handed them to the old ox driver Li Kun.

Li Kun took the copper coin and said with a smile: "I will leave at 15:00. If you want to sit back, you better watch out."

"Well, thank you Uncle Kun, I mentioned bran, Uncle Kun, please save some for me, I will come to your house to move it in two days."

Li Kun readily agreed: "Okay, no problem."

This ox cart does not travel back and forth between Lihua Village and Fengxian every day. It only comes once when there is a market. If this route were taken every day, the old ox would not do this hard work.

Yesterday, Li Kun shouted a few words when the show was over, telling everyone that he would come to Fengxian today to help Li Detian haul bran. Song Ran, Su Xiaoxiao and the others happened to be there and happened to catch this train.

"One copper coin per person?" Su Xiaoxiao asked curiously as she watched Song Ran take out the money.

"Yes, if you want to sell things at market time, the place to put the goods will cost money."

"Thank you, Miss Song. I will definitely pay you back in the future."

Lin Shibo also followed suit and expressed his thanks solemnly.

"Oh, Miss Xiaoxiao, this government office won't be open until 9:00 p.m. It's still early now. Let's go to the market and sell our things before we go. What do you think?"

Su Xiaoxiao lowered her head and asked Lin Shibo, "Do you know the way to the city?"

Lin Shibo replied, "Yes."

"Then Miss Song, I'm going to go around the city and get familiar with it."

Song Ran nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go to the government office to look for you then."

"By the way, Miss Song, can you lend me another ten copper coins? I will definitely pay you back later!"

Lin Shibo widened his eyes, thinking that his sister-in-law was really unreasonable. It was the first time they met, and she was already asking others for money. He suddenly felt hot on his face.

Song Ran took 20 copper coins with him when he went out, thinking that he would not need the money after selling things, so he gave all of them to Su Xiaoxiao. When her mother was alive, she once taught her that lending money is the best way to see a person's character. If a friend lends money, lend generously within the range of the loss you can afford.

Su Xiaoxiao took the money and put it away, and solemnly promised: "I will definitely pay it back!"

After the four of them separated, Song Ran and the other man carried the baskets to the market.

Song Li held her sister's hand and looked around curiously, only to see a crowd of people at the market. Her sister said it wasn't market day yet, but if it was market day, people would walk shoulder to shoulder, feet touching feet.

Song Li felt a little scared. She never liked crowded places because she was afraid that someone in the crowd would be bitten by zombies.

"You are the girl who sells mushrooms!"

Song Ran was looking for something outside, and when she heard someone calling her, she stopped. It was her first time selling mushrooms, and there were only two people who bought her mushrooms. She recognized the people in front of her at a glance.

"Yes, Auntie, you still recognize me!" Song Ran responded enthusiastically.

"Oh, I haven't been able to find you in several markets. I'm so lucky to run into you today. What are you selling in your basket?"

"It's still mushrooms." Song Ran opened the lid of the basket, revealing the mushrooms inside.

"It's just right!" Aunt clapped her hands.

Seeing this, Song Ran stopped going inside and simply set up his stall where he was.

"How much do you want this time? Still thirty cents per pound." Song Ran asked.

"Last time I asked for less, because my daughter-in-law drank that bowl. This time I want one and a half pounds. Girl, please weigh it for me."

Song Ran deftly broke off a piece of mushroom and weighed it on a scale. It was one pound and eight ounces. She said, "Aunt, there's a little mud underneath, so I weighed a little more for you. I'll still charge you one and a half pounds."

The aunt thought, how can this little bit of mud be worth three taels? This girl is too honest. She smiled and nodded: "Okay, your mushroom is also strange, did you dig it with the soil? It shouldn't be so big."

"I made this myself. Take it home, wet some straw paper and cover the soil with it. It will last for three to five days."

"That's great. I bought so much because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to meet you next time. If you take it back, I can split it into two meals."

"Hey, Shumei, what good stuff are you buying?"

"Guihong, come here!" Wang Shumei called out, "I've been telling you before that my daughter-in-law wants to eat mushrooms. I finally bought the right ones."

Yang Guihong came closer to take a look. "Wow, how come these mushrooms grow so densely? Where did you dig them? How much do you pay per kilo?"

"Thirty cents." Song Ran replied.

Yang Guihong was shocked after hearing this. "I saw some for sale for 20 yuan a few days ago, but I thought it was expensive. Shumei, you are really willing to spend money like this."

"I bought all of those, but my daughter-in-law said they didn't taste that good."

Yang Guihong shook her head, "I am reluctant to give it up, but it is not a magic pill."

"Girl, I finally met you today. What kind of vegetables are you selling today?"

Song Ran looked over in the direction of the sound and saw another old customer.

Song Li looked up at the enthusiastic fat aunt. She remembered that her sister had only come to the city to sell vegetables twice, so how come these people were so familiar with each other.

Song Ran greeted enthusiastically: "Selling mushrooms! Would you like to take a look?"

The fat god was a little disappointed, but he still came over with the vegetable basket and said regretfully, "Why aren't you selling vegetables? I'm still thinking about those tender pumpkin shreds."

She walked closer and looked at the basket. "Oh my, girl, you must have disturbed the mushroom nest."

The mushrooms that other people came to sell were all in sticks, with a little mud under the stems. Song Ran's place had a large pile of mushrooms all stuck together on the soil.

"I sent it myself." Song Ran said.

Wang Shumei, who was standing by, hadn't left yet. Thinking that Song Ran had just given her a little more, she spontaneously acted as a lobbyist: "Madam, this girl's mushrooms are good. I bought some before and cooked a bowl of soup. It was so delicious." Although she had never eaten it, if her daughter-in-law said it was excellent, then it must be excellent.

After hearing this, the fat aunt hesitated for a moment, but decided to buy a pound to try it out, and asked, "How much is it?"

"Thirty cents per pound."

"Oh my!" the fat lady exclaimed, "It's really expensive, almost the same price as pork." She glanced at Wang Shumei's basket, which was half full of mushrooms, and gritted her teeth: "Girl, give me a pound too."

"Okay!" Song Ran broke off a piece swiftly, "One pound and two ounces. I'll pack it for you for one pound."

The fat lady took the mushroom and said with a secretly happy expression: "Okay."

"Take it home. If you can't finish it in one meal, cover it with wet straw paper and it will keep for three to five days."

After the fat lady packed the mushrooms, she couldn't help but ask, "Hey, okay, girl, when will you come to sell vegetables again?"

Unexpectedly, she had repeat customers after just one sale. She thought about her own small vegetable garden and thought that she should be able to harvest two or three baskets of vegetables at the next market. So she replied, "Next market."

Song Li could see that her elder sister was very happy now. When her elder sister was happy, she was happy too.

When Wang Shumei heard that Song Ran still had good things to sell, she also noted the date in her mind and asked, "What do you grow to sell, girl?"

The fat lady immediately replied, "Much older. The white cucumbers, tender pumpkins, purple melons, etc., are all plump and have no worm holes."

Wang Shumei said, "Really? I'll buy some next time. Which street do you live on, sister?"

The three of them stood in front of Song Ran's stall and chatted. The basket filled with mushrooms served as a living signboard, attracting more and more passers-by.

Seeing more and more people buying, Yang Guihong couldn't help herself and said, "Boss, please weigh half a catty for me."
