Chapter 23 Medicinal Diet

"Yuan Hao, remember, you must not tell anyone about this matter, only our siblings know, understand?" Yuan Qiu solemnly urged.

Yuan Hao nodded: "Sister, I remember."

The siblings hurried to fetch water from the river at the east end of the village, and did not stop until the water tank was full. As a result, after a while, the full tank of clean water turned into sewage.

After washing off a full tank of water, the dirt on the siblings can be considered clean.

Just as he was thinking about carrying another tank of water, Uncle Zhang yelled outside.

Yuan Qiu had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​carrying water. He and Yuan Hao carried Bi Sanxi on their backs and went out. They saw Uncle Zhang pulling an ox cart. There were several large baskets on the cart, a large basket of fresh fish, and several others. A basket of dried fish, ready to be sold at the town market.

Yuan Qiu glanced at the basket of fresh fish, frowned and said, "Uncle Zhang, why don't you use wooden barrels to pack fish?"

Uncle Zhang didn't know why, so he asked in a dazed voice, "Why do you use wooden barrels to store fish? Don't fish have to be stored in fish baskets?"

Yuan Qiu shook his head: "Uncle Zhang, these fish of yours are raised in the broken tank at home. They have never been out of the water, so they are naturally fresh, but now if they leave the water, they will die? Think about it, this fish is dead. Can you still sell it at a good price? In the past, you carried it to the market on your back, but now that you use an ox cart, why don’t you use a wooden barrel to store the fish and store the water? The fish can still live Do you sell it?"

When Uncle Zhang heard it, there was still something he didn’t understand, and he slapped his head and laughed, “That’s true, I was really confused, thanks to Yuan Qiu for reminding me, come on, I’m going to get fish in wooden barrels.”

Uncle Zhang immediately drove the bullock cart home, quickly put the fish in the basket into wooden buckets, and then filled it with water. He grinned happily when he saw the fish that were about to be picked alive again.

He has sold fish countless times, so he naturally knows that the prices of live fish and dead fish are two different things, thanks to Yuan Qiu's words to wake him up today.

The bullock cart is just made of several wooden boards and two wooden wheels. It is not big. It can sit people and pull some goods. After putting wooden barrels and two back baskets, it almost fills up the space. Fortunately, both siblings are extremely thin, so they can sit down even if they are squeezed together.

Uncle Zhang is a rough man. He saw that the faces of the siblings seemed to have changed, but he didn't care too much. For poor children in the countryside, face is not important, what matters is strength and ability to work.

The bullock cart pulled the three of them into the city. Xiaoyuan Town is several tens of miles away from Xipo Village. Fortunately, they got up early and set off early, so they didn't miss the morning market.

Uncle Zhang took the bullock cart straight to the vegetable market in the town, unloaded a bucket of live fish from the cart, and placed two baskets of dried fish on it. It was a kind of green grass that I had never seen before, wondering: "What are you doing with two baskets of grass on your back? Why don't you bring vegetables?"

Yuan Qiu smiled mysteriously, and said to Uncle Zhang, "Uncle, this is the vegetable we want to sell."

Uncle Zhang has never seen this kind of vegetable in his whole life, it looks like grass, but since Yuan Qiu said it was a vegetable, it must be a vegetable.

"Uncle, have you heard of medicinal diet?" Yuan Qiu asked.

Uncle Zhang nodded: "I have heard that the shopkeeper of Jufulou often buys vegetables here. I heard him once say that Jufulou has medicinal food. The rich people in the town like it very much. They say it is right to eat it." Good health."

As soon as Yuan Qiu heard this, he knew that he would not come in vain today, and asked about the way to Jufulou, and agreed with Uncle Zhang on the time to go back, so he pulled Yuan Hao out of the market and went straight to Jufulou.
