Ugly girl only wants to farm

Zhang Xuyang forced a smile: "This winnowing basket looks really good. I'll trouble you if I need anything in the future, as long as you don't mind."

Xu Chaoyan: "Okay, I'll give you a discount next time."

Zhang Xuyang walked back with the small winnowing basket. He thought the bamboo weaving skills were indeed good. Meng Jiu was smart and good at studying. He had heard that his father had also studied for a few years. The skills were indeed good. In the future, when his parents made tofu, they could buy some of those things from them as a way to atone for his sins.

After he left, Xu Chaoyan looked at the dozen or so copper coins in her hand, her eyes shining, and quickly said, "Little sister-in-law, hurry up and start hawking! Look, haven't we gained some companions? Shout a few more times, or we can sell these and I'll cook you a nice meal when we get back today."

"Selling bamboo chairs and winnowing baskets!" Meng Jiuxia called out a few times.

Xu Chaoyan glanced at her and started shouting from the side.

When Zhang Xuyang returned home, he found that his parents were not there. He tidied up the house, guessing that his parents had gone out to sell tofu again. They had just delivered tofu together and left before him.

He saw that there were still some tofu pieces that weren't very good quality left. He thought for a moment, then packed up the tofu and carried it back to the street he had just been on.

After shouting a few times, Xu Chaoyan was so tired that she sat down on the ground and fanned herself a few times. The thin porridge and half a chicken she had eaten that morning had long been digested in her stomach, and now she was starving. She only had a dozen or so copper coins on her.

No one bought their things, and she was a little dejected. She wondered if they would have to carry all these things back again, which would be exhausting.

Finally, she used all her tricks and shamelessly sold two winnowing baskets. Although the amount of money was not much, she was quite satisfied, at least her family wouldn't go hungry for the next two days.

Meng Jiuxia gave her a thumbs up and praised her: "Morning Flower, you're amazing. Look at me, I haven't sold a single one. You're much better than me."

Xu Chaoyan patted her shoulder encouragingly: "Don't be discouraged. If you're as persistent as I am, you'll definitely be able to sell them."

Meng Jiuxia rolled her eyes at her: "I don't have your shamelessness. I'll just keep shouting like this."

Xu Chaoyan shook her head; the little girl still didn't have her thick skin.

Zhang Xuyang, carrying the tofu, ran over breathlessly. Luckily, he found them and saw them still hawking their wares. He quickly stuffed the tofu into their hands, saying, "My family makes tofu. These are the leftovers, not the best quality. Take them home and eat them. Don't be disgusted."

After saying that, he ran out in a flash. Xu Chaoyan hadn't reacted yet, holding the tofu in her hands, she was stunned. This young man was too enthusiastic, wasn't he?

Meng Jiuxia pointed at the tofu: "What's going on? This person is running so fast, it's like there's a dog chasing them. How are we going to return it?"

Xu Chaoyan glanced at the tofu cubes in the bamboo basket: "Since it's been delivered, let's eat it. We eat only vegetable soup every day, and I'm so tired I have no strength left."

Meng Jiuxia: "Okay?"

In the end, the two of them shamelessly sold the bamboo chair and even put a small winnowing basket on it.

Xu Chaoyan counted the copper coins in her hand, her eyes shining: "Finally sold! No need to carry them back."

Meng Jiuxia was only concerned with how many were sold, and asked excitedly, "How many morning glories were sold in total?"

"Eighty-odd coins."

Meng Jiuxia felt a little sorry to hear that her father's craftsmanship looked very good, but the bamboo chair was only selling for such a low price. She felt sorry for her father, who had gotten up early to make it.

Xu Chaoyan saw through the girl's thoughts at a glance and comforted her: "At least this is a good start. It's better than us carrying it back, right? Let's go buy some food for the family."

Meng Jiuxia nodded and said, "You're right. Keep up the good work and try to sell more next time. Let's go home and help Dad cut more bamboo to take back."

Seeing her sister-in-law finally smile, Xu Chaoyan took her hand and decided to go buy some brown rice to take home.

The two happened to pass by a butcher shop and saw the butcher chopping bones with a cleaver. A glint of light flashed in Meng Jiuxia's eyes, but Xu Chaoyan still caught it. They hadn't tasted meat in a long time.

When Meng Jiuxia saw Xu Chaoyan stop and walk towards the butcher shop, she quickly grabbed her: "Are you crazy? Don't you know how expensive this meat is?"

Seeing a customer coming in, the butcher quickly put down his cleaver and greeted her: "Young lady, are you buying meat? This is tenderloin, this is pork belly, and this is hind leg. We're almost done, so I'll give you a discount."

Xu Chaoyan pointed to the pig lungs in the bamboo basket next to her and asked, "How much are these?"

Seeing that she had no intention of buying meat, the butcher casually replied, "That's for Blackie at home, it's not worth much."

Xu Chaoyan: "Can you sell it to us?"

Butcher: "Do you feed the dogs too?"

Xu Chaoyan blushed: Does it count for her dog?

She nodded casually: "How much?"

The butcher hesitated for a moment before agreeing: "I was originally saving it for Hei Zi to eat, but now I'll just give you three or four coins. This stuff is useless."

Xu Chaoyan saw a bucket of bright red pig's blood behind his stall, so she bought it too. She traded two winnowing baskets for the wooden bucket. Just as she was about to leave after paying, the butcher called her back and handed her a few bones.

"Take these bones back with you. Those animals work hard guarding the gate, let them gnaw on them slowly."

After thanking the person, Xu Chaoyan took the pig offal and put it away. Meng Jiuxia had a dark face. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't persuade Labahua that she didn't know why she bought pig offal and was wasting money.

"You're not really going to buy it to feed your dog, are you?"

Xu Chaoyan tapped her on the head: "Where would we get the spare money to buy food to feed it? Let's go back and cook it ourselves to have some meat, okay? It's still from a pig, after all."

Xu Chaoyan pointed at the things, looking disgusted: "Can you eat pig offal? Don't try to fool me."

Xu Chaoyan spoke nonsense with a straight face: "When have I ever lied to you? Just wait and see."

Meng Jiuxia was skeptical and complained for a long time along the way. The two bought some brown rice before preparing to go back, carrying their things and walking and stopping as they hurried towards the village.

Halfway there, the oxcart driver stopped and offered them a ride. By the time they got back, it was already dark.

Meng Jiuxia looked embarrassed: "Uncle, we don't have any money, shall we walk back?"

"Don't talk about money, hurry up and get on the bus. I just went to town to deliver some mountain produce to the restaurant and happened to run into you two. Hurry up and get on the bus, it'll be dark soon, and you'll have to walk back in the dark by yourself."

Xu Chaoyan smiled gratefully: "Uncle, thank you. May you have a peaceful and prosperous life."

Meng Jiuxia: I've seen people flatter others, but I've never seen anyone so eager to flatter someone. She's embarrassed. Trumpet Flower is utterly shameless! I have to admit defeat.
