Chapter 443 The Market in the Capital City

Under everyone's expectant eyes, Qiao Erhe and Qiao Sanhu tilted the wooden barrels to let the fry in the barrels slowly pour into the fish pond.

The water in the fish pond is water flowing down from the Bishuitan. The water quality is very clear and transparent.

The small fry were poured into the water and quickly swam around.

Everyone looked at the fry swimming happily in the clear water, and their eyes couldn't help but follow the figure of the little fish with joy.

After releasing the fry, Qiao Erhe and Qiao Sanhu couldn't wait to cut the grass and feed the fish, for fear of starving the fry.

Qiao Ran took her second uncle and third uncle to the place where there were fish and grass in the woods.

Several villagers who helped dig fish ponds also followed them, and they wanted to identify the fish and grass. In the future, if the Qiao family was not free, they would help cut the grass and feed the fish.

Qiao Ran took them to the grass, pointed to two places and told them:

"These two kinds of grass are what ordinary fish like to eat. I don't know if blue water fish can eat these grasses. Let's give it a try first!"

"Okay, okay, let's try it first. They are all fish, so they should be almost the same!"

Qiao Erhe and the others were digging fish ponds just now. They only had hoes and shovels in their hands, and no sickles for mowing grass. They could only use their hands to pick up the relatively young grass leaves.

Qiao Ran also gathered up a handful of grass leaves, and before throwing them into the fish pond, she quietly got some spiritual spring water in her palm to wet the grass.

Several people each grabbed a handful of grass leaves and threw them into the fish pond. Everyone watched helplessly as the fish swam to a small pile of grass and started to eat them. Soon, the small pile of grass The leaves were eaten up.

Some fish, which were not full, reluctantly ate some grass leaves collected by others.

Everyone was quite surprised.

"Are these fish sperm? How can they still recognize people?"

"The grass that Ranran pulled was all eaten up at once. Could it be that the grass she pulled was not the same?"

"I can see it really, they are all the same grass! Why are those fish rushing to eat Ran Yatou's grass?"

"Is it possible that what Ran Yatou pulled out was fairy grass? Or maybe it had some fairy energy on her hand?"

Everyone had different opinions. Qiao Ran listened to the increasingly outrageous comments. She was speechless for a moment and said quickly:

"The grass I pulled is the same as what my uncles pulled. Maybe my hands are cleaner. Your hands were sweaty when working just now. These precious blue water fish don't like to eat the grass you pulled, right?"

The people who were pulling weeds were stunned, looked at their hands that were stained with sweat and mud when they were holding hoes and shovels, and smiled sheepishly.

"Hey, it is indeed a fish that grows in mountain pools. It is so delicate! It seems that when we cut fish grass in the future, we have to wash our hands first before cutting."

"Isn't that true? This fish is not available elsewhere, and it must be more expensive. Be careful when cutting the fish grass in the future, and don't get the fish grass dirty."

"Such a precious fish should be handled with care."

Qiao Ran, who made an excuse casually, felt a little embarrassed.

However, these blue water fish live in the blue water pool, and they are probably really delicate. It is not difficult to cut fish grass after washing your hands, so just let them do it!

After leaving the valley and returning to the tent, Qiao Ran told her grandma and took out two buckets of fish from the space when no one was paying attention, leaving one bucket in the space to keep and eat slowly.

When my mother, third aunt and others came back to cook in the evening, they were quite surprised when they saw the two wooden barrels of blue water fish.

Mrs. Qiao covered her granddaughter, saying that Qiao Ran went up to the mountain again in the afternoon and caught these fish.

Qiao Ran said that the two barrels of fish were to be given to the General's Mansion and Dingbei Prince's Mansion respectively, as a thank you for sending people from these two mansions to help the villagers build roads and houses.

After a few people listened, they had no doubts.

Qiao Ran caught two fish from each bucket and kept them for her family to eat.

Two of them were kept in a wooden basin to be eaten tomorrow, and the other two were made into a steamed fish dish by my mother, and the family had a delicious meal.

The next morning, Qiao Ran hitched a carriage into the city and delivered the two barrels of fish to the General's Palace and Prince Dingbei's Palace respectively. Both palaces tried their best to let her have lunch, but Qiao Ran refused.

Planting will begin in two days, and another fish pond will be dug soon with the help of the villagers. She has to look for where to buy fish fry. She can buy fish fry tomorrow when the fish pond is dug and filled with water. Put it down, otherwise I won’t have time to go to the city if I start planting rice in a few days.

Although she also has a fish pond in her space, there are fewer fry in the fish pond. She still has to keep them in the fish pond in her space, so she has to buy some more fry.

After delivering the fish, she drove the carriage and asked people all the way to the market.

Qiao Ran came to the market in the capital city of Dayue for the first time, and it was an eye-opener for her.

Although the market here is not as organized, clean and tidy as the modern market, it is bustling and very lively but not too dirty.

The stalls here also have fixed paid stalls and mobile stalls.

For example, those who sell professional pork and mutton, wine, vinegar, leather, livestock, grain, porcelain and pottery, fine cloth, silk... These generally have fixed stall.

Those selling vegetables, mountain products, firewood, chickens, ducks, live fish, eggs, melons and fruits are mostly mobile stalls set up by nearby villagers or hunters.

There were too many people in the market and it was difficult to squeeze the carriage in, so Qiao Ran spent two cents to store the carriage at the carriage and horse storage room at the entrance of the market. Carrying two empty barrels, she followed the crowds of people. People flowed into the market.

"Girl, do you want to buy pork? The pigs we raise at home are fed with bran and wild vegetables. They are much more delicious than wild boar. How about two pounds?"

"Girl, do you want to buy vegetables? My cabbage has been frosted and is very sweet! And this big radish, the frosted radish is very sweet, just like eating candy. It will definitely not be a loss to buy it back!"

"Selling tofu! It's white and tender tofu, and the skin becomes white and tender after eating it. Ladies and daughters-in-law, come and buy it! Girls, buy two pieces of tofu and go back to eat! Look how dark your face is. , eat my tofu, I guarantee that you will be as white, smooth and tender as this tofu, and all the young men from rich families will be fascinated by you. Look at me, aunt, ah, I eat tofu every day, and all the men in my family say that I am like this My face feels much smoother, hehe!"

Qiao Ran happened to pass by the tofu stall and was stopped: "..."

Auntie, are you polite?

I looked at the plate of old tofu that had not been sold for a few pieces and was full of holes in the aunt's stall. I also looked at the aunt's pockmarked face that was not only full of wrinkles but even had some pits. I felt a chill in my heart. For a moment.

No wonder the aunt’s tofu can’t be sold. With her sales method, what girl and daughter-in-law are willing to buy her tofu? It would be fine if he didn't fight her.

Qiao Ran walked past the aunt's tofu stall speechlessly. The aunt was still frothing at the mouth and introducing how good her tofu was to passers-by.

If it weren't for the fact that there weren't many stalls selling tofu in this market, I'm afraid this aunt wouldn't be able to sell her tofu at all.
