Travel to ancient times and become rich women with your bestie

After getting off the bus, Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin took a few children and quickly joined the queue to enter the city. There were many people entering the city at this time, and soon a line of people from other villages lined up behind them, all carrying large and small baskets of things to sell at the market today.

Seeing that other people in the village did not line up next to his house, Zheng Yuan hurriedly pulled a few people over to give them some instructions.

"We are not in a hurry to sell it right now. When we get into the city, we will go to the alleys where the rich people live. After all, we have borrowed Mr. Zhang's name. Mr. Zhang's family lives in the town, so we can only go around. After a walk, we can take out the ice cubes. Can they really knock on every door and ask?"

"Yes, I think the people from that village will follow us. If we don't make this trip, I don't think we can explain where the ice came from." Duan Minmin raised her head and looked at the group of women from the village, who were lined up not far behind, staring at them without blinking. She must be still unwilling to give up.

Soon it was their turn. Zheng Yuan counted out ten coins and handed them to the official guarding the city. Several people quickly entered the city and walked towards the alleys where the big houses were located.

None of them had been here before and couldn't find the direction. They turned around in the alleys and accidentally lost the group of people following them.

Looking back and seeing that there was no one following them, they found a secluded alley and planned to rest for a while before going out to buy breakfast.

The two of them sat on the ground and panted without any image. Selling ice jelly was like fighting a guerrilla war. Dashu and Tao'er were very excited when they came to the county town for the first time. They didn't look tired at all. They opened their eyes and looked at the blue brick and tile house next door with envy.

The women from Laohuaiqing were so angry that they stamped their feet. How come the five people in front of them disappeared in such a short while?

They didn't bring anything with them and spent two cents to go to the city. They took a bullock cart and went to the city. They spent four cents without doing anything, and their family work was delayed. If they didn't see the ice powder business with their own eyes and bring back some useful information, they would be beaten by their wives at home.

The women in the village had never been here before. The alleys were interconnected and they searched for a long time, gasping for breath, but still did not see Zheng Yuan and his group.

Liu Cuilan slapped her thigh and said, "Let's go! Go back to the market. I don't believe they won't come back to sell those buckets of stuff!"

"What if they're sold out here?" a woman asked worriedly.

"This place is full of rich lords. How could they be interested in this low-quality ice jelly? Even if it can be sold, it won't be sold out. They will definitely go to the market. Besides, if we don't go to the market now and wait, are we going to just wander around here?" Liu Cuilan said unhappily.

The others thought what she said made sense, nodded, and followed her back in the direction they came from.

Several people quickly returned to the market, squatting on the roadside with pale faces. What was going on? They ran to the county town early in the morning without sleeping, and after running for half an hour, they still lost the person. Now they were tired and hungry, but they were reluctant to spend money to buy something to eat at the market.

Smelling the aroma wafting from the food stalls and touching their rumbling stomachs, several people kept swallowing their saliva. They all felt a little regretful. Why did they come here to suffer this?

But there is a saying: Now that you are here, all you can do is wait.

Zheng Yuan and his friends took a deep breath and sat for a while before walking slowly towards the market. After fighting a guerrilla war with the aunts in the village for the whole morning, they were very hungry and had to go to the market to buy some food.

From a distance, I could see a few women from the village standing at the entrance of the market looking around. It seemed that they had not given up yet.

"Why are they like this? Mom, I'll go chase them away." Seeing the villagers following them like flies, Erhe spoke irritably.

Dashu, Erhe rolled up his sleeves and wanted to go over to chase them away.

"Come back!" Zheng Yuan shouted hurriedly, calling the two back.

"This street is not ours, so what right do we have to chase them away? They will start making a noise and cause unnecessary trouble. Forget it, let's just hide away and go over there to have some breakfast."

Seeing that the villagers didn't notice this side, several people hurried to the other side.

We found a relatively clean and tidy stall and sat down tiredly. Our legs were so tired after running around carrying buckets all morning.

"What would you like to eat? My stall has steamed buns, fried dough sticks, soybean milk, noodles, and porridge. What would you like to eat?"

Hey, don’t underestimate this roadside stall, it has a complete variety of breakfast items.

"I want a fried dough stick and a bowl of soy milk. What do you want to eat?"

"I want a bowl of noodles." Duan Minmin continued.

"Okay, do you want noodles with vegetarian or meat? Vegetarian noodles are five cents, meat noodles are eight cents."

"Let's have a vegetarian dish." Duan Minmin didn't feel that the meat noodles she had yesterday were very tasty, so she simply ordered a vegetarian bowl.

"What about you? What are you eating?" Duan Minmin looked at the three children.

"I want a bowl of vegetarian noodles too." Erhe has been following them for a few days. Especially after Zheng Yuan's education yesterday, he no longer said that he didn't want to eat and happily ordered a bowl of vegetarian noodles.

Dashu and Tao'er came along for the first time. When they heard that a bowl of vegetarian noodles cost five cents, they felt so distressed that they shook their heads and said they were not hungry.

"It's okay. We will make money soon. Don't worry about money. Making money is our job. Besides, if you two don't eat, you won't have the strength. How can you help us sell ice jelly? Look, Erhe has eaten it all."

Erhe nodded hurriedly at them. They had no idea that even if they said they didn't want to eat, their mother and Aunt Duan would order some for them, so refusal would be useless.

Dashu and Taoer reluctantly said that they wanted a vegetable bun, but Zheng Yuan ignored them and directly served them two bowls of noodles, and also gave Erhe and Duan Minmin a bun.

Erhe had an expression that I knew was true. See, my refusal is invalid.

The food was served quickly, and the hungry people started eating it.

A bowl of soybean milk cost one cent, and a fried dough stick cost two cents. The total cost of this breakfast was twenty-five cents. When they paid, Dashu and Tao'er felt bad. They couldn't help but curse themselves for being greedy. It was like not having eaten anything when the food was served. Now they couldn't return it.

After paying, it was still early, so they were not in a hurry to grab a seat. They said something to the boss and just sat at the stall to chat and rest.

The market is divided into areas according to what is sold: agricultural products in one area, snacks in another, and farm tools in another. People are crowded at the market, going from stall to stall, choosing and bargaining. The whole market is noisy but full of the atmosphere of life.

Looking at the lively market, the two people's thoughts went back to their childhood. At that time, the living conditions were not very good, and they also had such a big market in their place, which was held every Sunday, also known as the Sunday market.

What they look forward to most is the Sunday market. Their parents will bring their own agricultural products to the market to exchange for money just like them. With the money, they will bring back snacks such as Wahaha and spicy strips for them. That is truly the happiest time.

Thinking about it, they both felt a little sad. This market was actually no different from modern rural markets, with the same bustling crowds and the same atmosphere of fireworks. The difference was that now they were two adults raising a group of children to make a living, and it was now them who had to bring things back to meet the children's expectations.
