Chapter 255 Buying Game
The boss was also smart. He saw that Li Mingxia wanted to buy it and immediately said, "This beef is fifty cents a pound. Miss Li, would you like some? Oh, yes, Miss Li, do you like mutton? I have a whole sheep here. Are you interested? If you buy them together, it will be cheaper. The price is negotiable."
There is also a whole sheep? Li Mingxia, who was already very interested, now had his eyes sparkling.
"Okay, let me see your sheep." Li Mingxia said immediately.
Originally thought to be a slaughtered sheep, but unexpectedly it was alive, and Li Mingxia could tell something was wrong at a glance.
"Is there already a lamb on this sheep?" Li Mingxia said with a frown.
This is too immoral. This is a sheep with a lamb, and you sell it to her to be killed?
The butcher was stunned and looked at the sheep. "Is this a lamb? I don't know, Miss Li. Don't get me wrong. I really don't know. Forget it, Miss Li, just take a look at this piece of beef."
Livestock with lambs cannot be sold at a high price, so they basically have to be raised until the lambs are born. Even so, pregnant ewes basically cannot be sold, and the lambs that are born will require a lot of energy to take care of afterwards. The butcher's originally good mood is now shrouded in a haze.
Seeing his expression, Li Mingxia knew that he really didn't know about this matter, and he was no longer angry.
"Please sell this sheep to me for the price you paid for it. I also want the beef, some large bones and pork offal. I'll take as many as you can get." Li Mingxia thought for a moment and said.
The man nodded quickly when he heard it, "I don't dare to ask the girl for a penny more!"
As he spoke, he started to help Li Mingxia weigh the meat. He scraped the big bones on the stall and gave them to Li Mingxia, as well as a few pig offal. He didn't ask for any money and gave them directly to Li Mingxia as a bonus.
"Miss, you have bought so many things from me. Just consider these bones and offal as a gift to you. If you don't accept them, it means you look down on me." The butcher was a good person and said sincerely.
Li Mingxia looked at those things and could only nod and agree.
After settling the money here, Li Mingxia still had someone deliver the things to the ox cart at the city gate, and then took the two maids to the rice shop.
I bought some japonica rice, coarse rice, cornmeal, white flour, and sorghum rice, about 50 kilograms each.
These things are all available in the space, it’s just a matter of buying some that have been through the open road.
Li Mingxia did not forget Zhang's instructions to her and went to the market again. There were so many kinds of game!
The people of Qianniu Village dare not go up the mountain because they say there are tigers on the mountain. But other villages also have mountains, so there are always many people bringing game to trade at every market.
Li Mingxia didn't have the chance to do some shopping in the previous few times, but this time he had plenty of time. In addition to the two big roosters that Zhang requested, Li Mingxia also wanted to stock up some game for his family. This is not an ordinary delicacy. As long as it is processed well, the taste is so delicious!
Li Mingxia and her two younger sisters were walking around the market, looking for something they liked.
The two little girls looked around, and suddenly, Li Mingqiu grabbed Li Mingxia's hand.
"What's wrong?" Li Mingxia immediately stopped and asked in a low voice.
Li Mingqiu's big eyes flickered and he pointed to the roadside.
Li Mingxia looked in the direction where her hand was pointing. It was someone selling rabbits. There were quite a few baby rabbits, and it looked like they had been killed right after they were born.
"Do you want it?" Li Mingxia looked at the eager eyes of Li Mingqiu and Li Mingdong and asked while trying not to smile.
The two little girls nodded in unison. "Yes, big sister. That little rabbit is so cute. Let's take it home and raise it! My sister and I can definitely take good care of it!"
Li Mingdong was also nodding vigorously, agreeing with his sister's words.
Seeing that the two little girls liked it so much, Li Mingxia pulled them towards the place where rabbits were sold.
"Want to buy a rabbit? A small rabbit costs ten cents, and a large one costs fifty cents. The rabbit meat is delicious!"
Li Mingxia glanced at the pile of furry little rabbits, then at the big rabbit that had already died. "I want both of these big rabbits, and two more little rabbits. I'll pay first and leave them here with you. I'll come back to get them later."
The rabbit seller naturally agreed.
Li Mingqiu and Li Mingdong liked the two rabbits and had been thinking about them all the time, but they also knew that the weather was cold now and they would freeze to death if they stretched out their hands and hugged the two rabbits all the time. So they listened to their eldest sister and thought that after returning home they must hug the two rabbits and cherish them to their heart's content!
"You two, take a look around to see if there's anything you like. We have enough time today, so go shopping." Li Mingxia was happy too when she saw them having fun, so she asked with a smile.
The two little girls were only thinking about the two rabbits, "There's nothing else I want! Big sister!"
They had new clothes, delicious food to eat when they got home, and a rabbit to hug. Oh, yes, the eldest sister also bought them so many new things, and a hand warmer they had never seen before! The two little girls felt that they were the happiest people in the world!
Seeing how satisfied the two girls were, Li Mingxia happily concentrated on selecting game. He bought two big roosters, four pheasants, a roe deer, a fawn, and a string of unknown birds.
Those birds were all dead, otherwise Li Mingxia would have planned to release them, but now he could only take them home and roast them for food.
Li Mingxia gathered all the game together, gave the bird seller ten cents and asked him to deliver it to the city gate, then took his two sisters to the bookstore.
"Are you going to buy books for your brother?" The two little girls looked at the various books and pens in the bookstore with a little envy in their eyes.
Not only them, Li Mingxia also felt a little envious, but this was the way the dynasty was, women were not allowed to go to school, so what could anyone do?
"Yes, buy some books for your brother. When he is not busy in a few days, he will teach you to read and write, okay? I will also buy you some paper today." Li Mingxia said to his two sisters.
Li Mingxia handed a paper list to the boy and asked him to find all the books according to the requirements.
By the way, this list of books was given by He Changan. I haven’t seen him for a long time, and I don’t know how Mr. He is doing now.
