Chapter 138 Who is spreading rumors that people in ancient times did not eat offal?

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin naturally had no idea that Magistrate Ma had made such an evaluation of them, and they were still working hard to promote how fair and strict the Yongding government office was.

All the ice jelly I brought today didn’t last long before it was all given away.

Some who felt embarrassed to eat their ice jelly for free stayed behind to help them clean up the mess, and some even took out what they had in their hands and gave it to them.

Originally, Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin were determined not to take it, but when the uncles and aunts saw that they would not take it, they directly stuffed it into the children's arms. Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin wanted to return it but it was not working. They kept saying that it was for the children to eat and would not let them take it out no matter what.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin looked at the common people who had experienced many hardships but were still simple and honest. They felt a little jealous for a moment and could not say anything. They could only keep thanking them.

But there were so many things to stuff in, so the two of them could only take the children to pack up their things and quickly get out of the crowd.

If we stay any longer, I’m afraid we won’t be able to handle it with just a few people.

Even though they ran fast, the buckets they brought today were full of things.

After running far away, the family stopped to look, and saw that there were really a variety of things inside.

Radishes, cabbages, steamed buns, rags, eggs, dried mushrooms, dried beans...

There is nothing they don’t have in their buckets, only things you can’t think of.

The most outrageous thing is that there is a chirping chicken in Sizhu’s arms.

The two were shocked. This little chicken could probably buy two bowls of ice jelly. They wanted to send it back, but Sizhu didn't know how the chicken appeared in his arms. He had no idea.

There is no choice but to take it back.

But this did remind them that now that life at home was getting better, they could raise some chickens and go find a stall selling chicks.

These two large deliveries of ice jelly have almost used up the stock at home, so we need to replenish it.

When we arrived at the grocery store, the shopkeeper was leaning behind the counter, drinking a bowl of ice jelly comfortably.

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he saw them come in, and he put down the bowl of ice jelly and came out to greet them.

"Oh, sisters-in-law, I guessed you were coming. My waiter went to queue up for ice jelly and came back to tell me that you two sisters-in-law are really generous. Thanks to you, I can still get a bowl of cool food in this small shop."

"You're too polite, boss. Our ice jelly business is only possible thanks to your support. It's all thanks to the county magistrate that we can live such a peaceful and stable life." The two of them also chatted with him politely.

"Yes, yes, yes! It's all thanks to our Master Ma!" The shopkeeper immediately followed up loudly, fearing that the flattery was not good enough and would be heard by people outside.

"Oh, these are the children of the family, right? I only saw these three before, but I didn't expect there are so many children in the family. It's really not easy for the two sisters-in-law!"

"Come, uncle will treat you to some candy." The shopkeeper took out a few pieces of maltose from the counter and handed them to the children.

The children didn't dare to answer and just looked up at Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin.

"Take it quickly. Thank you...Uncle Yang."

After stuttering for a long time, Duan Minmin finally remembered that the shopkeeper seemed to be surnamed Yang. Seeing that he didn't react, she thought it was correct.

After getting the consent of their two mothers, the children thanked them and took the candy, but they were reluctant to eat it and put it carefully in their pockets.

"My two sisters-in-law are really capable, and they have brought up their children so well." Shopkeeper Yang was pleased when he saw the well-behaved children.

"Yes, these children in our family are all very good."

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin are not modest either. Their main point is not to adopt repressive education methods.

"Shopkeeper Yang, my sisters and I still want to buy the old three items today, so you have to give us a discount."

After all the chit-chat, let’s get down to business.

"Oh, sisters-in-law, I sincerely want to do business with you. I always give you the best price. Don't worry."

So the two of them went through the grocery store again and not only bought the three main items needed to make ice jelly, but also some seasonings, small tools and the like.

It has been a few days since Mr. Jiang left, and no things have been sent from Mr. Zhang's house, but the things in the house are almost used up.

They spent more than six hundred coins at once. The shopkeeper was so happy that he gave them a discount directly, and they took away a lot of things for six hundred coins.

However, the enthusiastic common people had already filled their buckets, so they could only ask the shopkeeper to find two sacks to barely fit them.

The children were stunned. Even though they knew the fighting power of the two mothers, they were still shocked every time they saw them shopping.

It was not convenient to carry so many bags while shopping, so Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin simply told the shopkeeper to temporarily put their things in the backyard of the grocery store and come back to get them after they finished shopping.

The shopkeeper naturally agreed and directly called his servants to help them move in.

This county town is much larger and more prosperous than Zhonghe Town. Now we can start strolling around with confidence. The children are very excited.

"You guys can go shopping on your own. Erhe, take care of Sizhu. And Xing'er and Sanni, follow the sisters closely and be careful of that beggar. If things go wrong, just dive into the crowd and yell. Got it?"

Everyone wanted to buy different things, and it would be uncomfortable for adults to shop with the children, so the two of them simply waved their hands and let the children go shopping on their own.

But I can't help but worry about the little ones. The ancient beagle hunting was also very scary.

"I understand, Mom. I will take good care of my younger brothers and sisters." Dashu nodded in agreement as the eldest brother.

They thought that since it was broad daylight and most people knew the kids, nothing should be a problem, so they just went about their business without any worries.

They had already thought about what they wanted to buy today when they came, and they went straight to their destination.

First of all, there is the need for fabrics. There is still a great demand for small clothes and menstrual belts, so we need to buy some more. Also, there are the shoes. We need to buy some fabrics and ask the girls to make a few pairs. The soles of the shoes they are wearing are about to fall off.

Soon the two returned from the fabric store with a full load, and next went to the butcher shop.

It’s still the same stall. It closed early today and there’s still some good meat on the butcher’s stall.

The boss naturally remembered them. He even went to get a bowl of ice jelly this morning. Now he was very enthusiastic when he saw the two of them.

After exchanging pleasantries with the boss for a while, the two of them went straight to buying 20 kilograms of pork belly and 10 kilograms of lean meat, and the boss was smiling happily.

When Zheng Yuan was about to leave with his things, he saw the pig intestine soaking under the chopping board.

Thinking about the braised food in later generations, I feel a little greedy.

"Boss, can you give us this pig intestine?"

Zheng Yuan spoke confidently, don’t those novels and TV dramas say that people in ancient times didn’t eat pig offal?

The boss didn't react for a moment, thinking this was such a rude request.

Seeing that the boss didn't say anything, the two of them looked up at him.

The boss then looked embarrassed: "Aunties, this pig intestine weighs more than five pounds. Can't we give it away?"

Can't deliver? Aren't all unwanted things delivered as a gift?

Seeing the two people's doubts, the boss was afraid of offending these two big customers: "This large intestine is 15 cents per pound, and five or six pounds will cost at least 70 or 80 cents. We really can't afford to lose money with our small business~"

"If you want it, I can give it to you at 13 cents per pound. This is already the cheapest. No one on this street sells it at this price."

The boss looked embarrassed and looked at the two of them cautiously.

My goodness, who on earth is spreading the rumor that ancient people didn’t eat pig offal? We’ve really been fooled by the Japanese.

"No, no, boss, we are just joking, don't take it seriously."

The two men threw down a sentence and ran away.

So embarrassing!

Looking at the two men's fleeing backs, the boss, who was still holding the pig intestine in his hand, looked puzzled.
