Qingshan Town is fifteen or six miles away from their residence, and it takes more than an hour to drive a horse-drawn carriage. Along the way, they pass three villages, some far and some near, and they are located in the middle of the valley. Looking at it, it can be seen that the scale is not very large. At most, there are more than a hundred households, and there are even fewer, which seem to be about fifty or sixty households.

These are local residents who do not belong to any tribe, and some wandered and migrated from other places to settle down.

This area is indeed sparsely populated.

Today happened to be the market day in Qingshan Town. Although Mu Sangu and others have been to the market once, this is the second time, they are still full of freshness and novelty, crowded in the noisy crowd, looking at the shops on both sides, That is called a relish.

Mu Qingli found a grocery store on the main road, and told the boss to ask him to help collect sweet potato vines, as many as they wanted, for three days. Two pennies per catty, and for every two catties collected, one penny was given to the shop owner.

After they are collected, their people will transport them away in a horse-drawn cart.

The owner of the grocery store happily agreed without even thinking about it.

Sweet potato vines are very important. This is a crop that was introduced from the Central Plains several years ago. Everyone likes it and it is easy to feed. When there is a shortage of food, it can fill the stomach and survive the famine, so basically every household has planted it.

Now that they want to harvest, which family can't cut hundreds of catties of vines from the field?

Besides, the sweet potato vines are also very long, and it won't be long before they are cut off and spread all over the ground again.

After explaining to the owner of the grocery store and leaving the money for the purchase, the group of them turned around and left when they heard the owner yelling loudly. Looking back, they saw a large circle of people surrounded by crowds.

Sure enough, no matter in what era, in any time and space, the common people like to watch the excitement.

"Let's go, let's have lunch. After lunch, we will go shopping in the street. Let's go shopping by ourselves and buy what we like." Mu Qingli said with a smile.

Everyone was happier when they heard that they were eating in the town.

There is only one decent restaurant in the town, and the others are small stalls on the street. After all, when villagers come to the market, they can sit at a street stall and eat a bowl of noodles, or simply buy a few steamed buns and eat standing up. , how many people are willing to go to the restaurant?

So even if it was lunch time, there were still many empty seats for Mu Qingli and the others when they walked into the restaurant.

A few people sat at two small tables—this was considered a big customer, and the shopkeeper and clerk came forward with a smile and greeted him warmly.

There are not many good dishes to order here, and Mu Qingli casually mentioned seven or eight dishes, and the shopkeeper was even more happy when he heard it, and promised to ask people to make it, and he was very happy to serve them tea. Also sent a plate of salted peanuts.

Mu Sangu and the others hadn't eaten in the restaurant yet, and the food was hot on the table. It smelled much more delicious than what they usually ate, and they tasted more relish.

After lunch, the three of Zhou Dali went shopping in a hurry with some silver coins each, while Mu Qingli and Mu Sangu made another group.

This is a small town, not afraid of getting lost, so Mu Qingli asked Mu Sangu and the others to wander around by herself, and she wandered around casually by herself.

Mu Sangu and the others were not too daring at first, after all, they had basically never experienced such a situation.

Mu Qingli smiled and said: "In the future, I will always have to deal with people. This is just a small town, and a main road leads from the beginning to the end. What is there to be afraid of? If something really happens, you howl on the street I can hear it at the end of the street! If you want to buy something, buy it and see how others talk about the price, you can learn from it!"

Mu Sangu waited to think about it, this Qingshan Town is really not too big, if there is really trouble, Mu Qingli couldn't hear it, but she would definitely hear it if she howled a few times while running, so she agreed , went shopping happily.

Mu Qingli went to the free trade market.

It was a place where villagers from four villages and eight villages traded all kinds of mountain products that they got by chance. She wanted to see if there was anything special, such as medicinal materials, special mountain delicacies, or other things.

I was lucky today. Although I didn’t get any rare medicinal materials, I bought some mountain delicacies unique to the southwest forest—several kinds of mountain fungus mushrooms that she didn’t know the names, but the locals said they were delicious, and some stone ears. .

Stone fungus is similar to white fungus, except that it grows on high cliffs and is silver-gray. It is more rare than white fungus, and it is said to taste very delicious.

After shopping for half an hour, Mu Qingli returned to the main road with a bag in her hand.

Mu Sangu and the others were also looking for her. Everyone seemed to be in high spirits and beaming with joy. Obviously, they had gained a lot, and they all bought what they liked.

At this time, the market is about to close, and everyone is carrying their burdens and carrying baskets and going out one after another, ready to go home.

Only the grocery store was still bustling and bustling, with many people surrounding it. Many people in the nearby villages had already gone back to get sweet potato vines, and the ones on the edge of the town had started to pick up loads of sweet potato vines one after another.

It seems that there is no problem in filling up two carriages today, but we have to wait a little longer.

So they sat down in a tea shed and waited while drinking tea and eating some melon seeds, peanuts and broad beans.

Mu Sangu and others watched and discussed the gadgets they bought with great interest.

Suddenly Da Zhuang ran past in a hurry, Mu Qingli happened to see it at a glance, slightly surprised, and called out: "Da Zhuang, what's wrong?"

Hearing her loud voice, he braked suddenly and stopped, turned around and saw that they looked happy, ran towards the tea shed, wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly said: "It's not good, Qingli, go and see Brother Dali , he hit someone!"

"What hit someone? Tell me clearly!" Mu Qingli was surprised, and Mu Sangu and others also stopped discussing and surrounded them with concern.

Da Zhuang said: "The three of us walked around and went to the grocery store. We saw a lot of sweet potato vines, so we thought about driving two carriages over so that they could be easily loaded. Who knew that Brother Dali would drive the carts?" When I accidentally bumped into a mother and daughter, the old lady yelled that her foot was broken, and the girl was crying non-stop. Many people gathered around to watch, but Brother Dali didn’t know what to do, so I ran away Came to find you."

Mu Sangu and others were startled: "This Dali, I don't know how to be careful!", "Yeah, how could I hit someone!"

"How does the old lady look? Is there any blood?" Mu Qingli asked hurriedly.

Da Zhuang was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head hesitantly, and said, "I, I didn't look carefully, but it seems that there is no bleeding..."

Mu Qingli nodded: "Well, I'll go over and have a look, it doesn't look too serious, don't worry, it's fine. Now you work hard and go to the medical center to invite the doctor for me."

Seeing that Mu Qingli's expression remained unchanged, Da Zhuang's panicked heart could not help but calm down, "Yeah!", and ran away again.
