Chapter 22 Setting up a stall
"This is none of our business, the county magistrate is already bothered with it, just eat your chestnuts..." The middle-aged man was actually honest and didn't like to gossip.
"Cut, I think these little thieves have stolen too much, those who lost things can surround the county government......" The young soldier whispered, very gossiping, not very supportive of letting in a few poor children of the same age, and they were so poor that they couldn't even afford a penny, which was also unreasonable.
The middle-aged soldier ignored him and let him mutter to himself.
As they entered the city, Er Bao and San Bao were immediately stunned. Although in Shen Si's eyes this county town was old and dilapidated, the three brothers did not think so. They had stayed in the village for many years, and all they saw were earthen houses, with few blue-brick tile-roofed houses, only the landlord's family had them. But even the landlord's big house couldn't compare to the rows of neat brick houses here, which left them speechless. Looking at the crowds coming and going, they didn't know where to put their hands and feet, wearing clothes with patches, giving off a poor impression.
"Earth, earth girl......" Er Bao and San Bao asked anxiously: "......Where are we going to sell the chestnuts?!"
She glanced at them with a dismissive look, ignoring their lack of enthusiasm. She observed the county town for a moment before heading towards the crowded areas. Her past experience told her that where there were many people, there must be a market. The things they brought weren't particularly valuable, just ordinary chestnuts, which wouldn't fetch a high price. They could only sell them at the market... Although this flavor was still quite good, it wasn't suitable for a big stage after all. Chestnuts were extremely common in this place...
The more they walked towards the crowded place, the three brothers' horizons were not enough, all the way sighing in admiration, very much like a country bumpkin entering the city. However, for her who had seen a lot, she just let them be, after all, what hadn't she seen in modern times? It's just that the three brothers had never left their village before, so she felt a little sorry for them.
Dabao woke up with a start from the hustle and bustle, and was a bit nervous, hesitantly asking Tuni: "Tuni, can we really sell these chestnuts? So much salt and sugar aren't cheap, and there's also the four cents for entering the city. What if they don't sell?"
Shen Sisi was speechless, how could this big treasure be so timid? She said in a bad tone: "If we can't sell it, we'll eat it ourselves..."
"Ah?!" Da Bao looked at her in surprise, even more entangled, but seeing her unpleasant expression, he swallowed his saliva and swallowed all the thoughts of calculating small accounts into his stomach, no longer daring to speak out loud, with only worry on his face.
To be honest, in this unfamiliar place, Dabao's heart was extremely uncertain, so he always worried that the chestnuts would not sell out. However, he also found it strange that Tuni was not afraid at all, and could even be said to have a sense of familiarity. This made him, as an older brother, feel even more ashamed, so he didn't say anything else.
Shen Sisi dragged her feet, finally finding the chaotic market. She was small, so she quickly occupied a vacant spot and smiled pitifully at the vegetable vendor who glared at them, "Auntie, we'll leave after selling our chestnuts. We're not selling vegetables, not competing with your business, and won't take up much space. Sorry to trouble you..."
That aunt's face was a bit awkward, but she still said: "Then you guys don't step on my vegetables, be careful..."
