There are many people selling clothes, groceries, hardware, fertilizers, and medicines on both sides of Xuji Street.

The former name of Xuji was a Niuxu, which was a market that specialized in animal trading. Later, it gradually evolved into a Xuji that sells various things now, which is equivalent to a free market.

Song Wen held Xiaojun's gentle little hand and walked slowly on the Xuji, looking at what she wanted to buy while walking. Xiaojun was held by him, and at first was a little shy, but later she got used to it. She thought to herself that she was already Yi's person anyway, so what was she afraid of?

Today, Song Wen mainly came to buy some beef and daily necessities, such as toothpaste, toothbrush, etc., and then bought some clothes and pants. Now the weather has become hot. He used to be unable to wear short shirts and shorts, so he had to buy some, and he also had to buy some underwear. Somehow, his underwear is so durable now. I remember that when he was a child, he could wear a pair of underwear for five or six years, but now he has been ripped or rotten after one or two years. The quality is really poor.

"Hey! Awen, what do you think is that?" Xiaojun didn't know what he saw, pointed to Song Wen and asked.

Song Wen looked in the direction she pointed, and saw a pile of crystal clear grass roots on the street stall next to him. Before he could answer, the middle-aged woman selling things smiled and said to her: "This is Cordyceps sinensis. Should the little girl buy some to eat? It's very nourishing."

"Cordyceps sinensis?"

After hearing this, Xiaojun walked over curiously, squatted in front of the stall and picked up the crystal clear grass roots like insects and looked at them, shook her head and said, "This is not Cordyceps sinensis." She has seen Cordyceps sinensis before. This kind of insect-shaped grass roots is obviously not.

This thing is indeed not Cordyceps sinensis, but the ground ring, also known as nectar, Trichosanthes, and Trichosanthes root. It tastes sweet, crispy, like sweet potato. It is cold and non-toxic. It can be made with candied fruit, sauce stains, pickled products, crispy and delicious, and is a good dish for rice. Many Korean residents use it to make pickles. There are wild or cultivated parts in my country, and it is rare in western Beijing, and most of them are Hebei bordering western Beijing.

"Yin Shen Zhengyao" records that it "benefits the five internal organs, reduces the energy and clears the spirit."

"Luchuan Materia Medica" also records that "nourishes and strengthens the lungs, replenishes gold, and is a kind of Cordyceps sinensis. It can cure body weight loss, cough, and malnutrition in children."

Although it has various benefits to the body, those who are deeply rooted in the soil are good, while those who are raw and brutally toxic. In February, in August, the roots are dried and dried, and they are completed on the thirty day. When eating the ground, it is mainly cold-mixed, and can also be processed into pickles, canned food, sweet fruits, etc. It is one of the well-known "eight treasure dishes" and "assorted vegetables". Yangzhou canned screw vegetables are the best among pickles. Chongqing calls it "dii rolling beef" and southern Shaanxi called it "diyuer" (pronunciation).

Song Wen attached himself to Xiaojun's ear and explained to her for a while, and then she suddenly realized.

"Auntie, how do you sell this?" Song Wen asked the middle-aged woman. Although this thing is not Cordyceps sinensis, it tastes good when marinated. He didn't want to buy it and pickle it, but went back to plant it. This kind of thing is very good. As long as it has loose and fertile soil, it can grow a bunch of it.

"One hundred and fifty-one pounds."

"ah"

When Song Wen heard the middle-aged woman's words, he didn't know what to say. This thing is at the most unscrupulous merchant in the north, but it only dares to sell it for more than twenty yuan per catty. In fact, the real price is only about ten yuan. Unexpectedly, she came to a lion and spoke up for 150 yuan, thinking that he was 25 yuan.

Song Wen pulled Xiaojun, who was still squatting on the ground to watch things, and signaled her to leave. Although Xiaojun felt strange, she did not object and stood up obediently.

"Girl, don't you buy some to eat? This thing can beautify and nourish the skin and is very good for the body." The middle-aged woman saw Xiaojun stand up and quickly promoted it enthusiastically.

"Auntie, I only sell it for ten yuan per catty, but you sell it for one hundred and fifty. Isn't it too immoral?" Song Wen glanced at the ground ring on the ground and said with a slight lip.

"What kind of virtue is missing? I'm selling things to get in the way. This is Cordyceps sinensis, which nourishes yin and yang, beautify the skin, nourishes essence and nourishes the kidneys. It is a great replenishment thing. I'm still losing money if I sell it for 150?" The middle-aged woman said angrily when she heard Song Wen's words.

She said that the grassroots were like fairy grass? She didn't think about what Cordyceps sinensis was or what she was? Song Wen was too lazy to pay attention to her and pulled Xiaojun away.

"How can you say that to others? They are doing business after all." After all, Xiaojun complained to Song Wen a little.

"I just angered her to bully people here without knowing that thing that sells for such a high price. Forget it, let's not talk about her anymore, what do you want to buy?"

"I won't buy it." Xiaojun shook her head. She had nothing to buy. What did she buy?

The two continued to walk forward and came to the place where the clothes were sold. Song Wen went in and bought a few pieces of clothes, and then continued to wander around the ruins.

Song Wen never knew what famous brands were, and he would not be vain and only bought famous brands. For him, it would be fine as long as the clothes fit and comfortable, and it doesn't matter whether the famous brands were famous or not. Besides, he didn't want to spend too much money on these external objects, so he would not buy clothes and pants for more than 100. He only had shoes on his body, more than 100, military products, durable and durable, and it would be fine for several years to wear.

He is a frugal person. He usually stays to continue wearing except for the color and style of the clothes that are too old to wear. Most of the clothes at home are worn for more than two years, one of which was bought when he was studying, and it has been ten years now.

He bought the clothes at the school gate before, and it is said to be the clearance of the factory bankruptcy. He wore them for ten years and was still as new as new, without fading or deteriorating. He only spent more than twenty yuan at that time. He always thought that the clothes were the best one he had bought in his life.

Xiaojun has never been to a place like Xuji, and she feels novel when she sees anything. She looks at it while walking, and sometimes she squats on the ground and picks up things from other people’s stalls to take a look.

"Hello, whatis yourname? Mynameis David."

"Your mother is stuck. If you make a noise, your dad will kill you." (You mom, if you make a noise again, I will kill you.)

Song Wen and Xiaojun were walking and watching, and suddenly they heard a noise. Looking in the direction where the sound came, it was a pet-selling stall.

It was a temporary tent, filled with all kinds of pets, cats, dogs, snakes, insects, turtles, birds, lizards, etc. The noise just now came from the two birds standing on the bird stand in front of the tent. The two birds were red-eyed black starlings and the other were colorful parrots, which looked very beautiful.

When the two of them looked, the parrot was shouting, "Hello.whatisyourname?" The black star next to him stood on the shelf and jumped down and cursed. It looked very interesting and attracted Xiaojun's attention. So she pulled Song Wen in.

"Hello." Xiaojun walked to the colorful parrot and greeted him playfully.

"Hello, Mynameis David, Howdo youdo." The colorful parrot stood on the rack and greeted very gentlemanly.

After hearing this, Xiaojun said happily to Song Wen: "Awen, look, this parrot is so cute! Can you talk?"

It’s just that they are not human words, but nonsense. Song Wen whispered in his heart.

"Ha, you're so happy all day, your dad makes you so stupid." The starling next to him heard the cry of the colorful parrot and started to yell and scold again.
