After being replaced, she changed from a miserable daughter-in-law to a lucky wife

Chapter 505 Free Trade Market

The next day.

Xiao Chiye took his family to the free trade market outside the West City. There were no shops here, only sheds.

There are quite a few people from outside the Great Wall here, and there are many strange things placed in front of them.

Xia Wanniang saw wooden combs made of ox horns, as well as some hairpins carved from ox horns.

There are all kinds of blankets for sale here, all hand-woven.

Xiao Chiye looked at her with interest: "Are there any you like?"

Xia Wanniang reached out and touched a carpet hanging in front of her. It felt very thick and made of wool, and had a soft feel. "I'm thinking of buying one for Xiao Xingyue. It will be useful when she starts crawling."

Xiao Chiye: "You pick and I pay." He looked at the boss.

The boss was a middle-aged woman who didn’t speak Daxia’s language and gestured for a long time.

Xiao Zisen: "Dad, she said this blanket cost ten taels of silver and it's made of wool."

Xiao Chiye: "Want to bargain?"

Xiao Zisen began to bargain with the middle-aged woman, and finally bought it for only five taels of silver.

Qing Feng whispered beside Xia Wanniang, "This boy has a sweet mouth. Didn't you see how he made the girl smile? If it were someone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't sell it for less than eight taels."

Xia Wanniang smiled and shook her head: "It's good to be sweet-mouthed, and you won't suffer any loss."

Qingfeng agreed: "That's the truth."

Xia Wanniang bought two blankets and prepared another one for the baby in her belly, and asked Chai Song to send it back.

Aunt Xiao saw a stall selling jade materials. These were raw stones and had not been cut, so there was some element of gambling involved.

Xia Wanniang saw that she was interested: "Mom, are you interested in this?"

Aunt Xiao looked at her with a smile and said, "I just heard someone say before that this kind of stone needs to be gambled. Some of it is really just stone, and some can be mined into very good jade."

Qingfeng came over and asked about the price. It was not expensive, ranging from a few dozen coins to several taels of silver. It all depends on your taste.

Xia Wanniang also became interested: "Since we are here, let's each pick a piece and see who has the best luck."

Several children squatted at the stall and began to choose carefully.

Xiao Chiye walked up to her and said, "These stones all look similar. If we don't cut them open, we won't know what's inside."

"That's why it's called gambling, but it's quite interesting, isn't it?" Xia Wanniang picked a piece: "Husband, I want that piece."

Xiao Chiye picked up the stone she had chosen: "This one?"

Xia Wanniang nodded: "You pick one too."

The stall owner didn't expect that he could sell so many at once, and he even gave them a discount.

Yun He looked at the stone in his hand and asked, "How are you going to open it?"

“You’ll know when we get back. Let’s go for a walk first.” As he said that, he took Xiao Chiye’s arm and walked forward.

There are also dried black wolfberries here, which are good stuff, buy it, buy it.

There are also agarwood, storax, chicken tongue incense and some other spices, but there are not too many types.

The quality of these spices is very good, and coupled with the drought outside the Great Wall, the prices of these things can be said to be very cheap. It would be a pity to miss them.

As long as she liked something, Xiao Chiye would pay for it, including the bills for the people behind her.

Qing Feng waved his fan and said, "General Xiao is indeed very wealthy."

Xiao Chiye touched his chin and said, "Master Qing, if you don't want it, you don't have to say anything."

"No, no, no, how can I not want to pay for it?" Qingfeng immediately gave in and let it go without paying for it himself.

Xia Wanniang saw someone selling yak jerky and waved to Xiao Zisen: "Zisen, ask if you can try it."

Xiao Zisen asked the man opposite him, and when he nodded in agreement, he took a piece and gave it to Xia Wanniang: "Mom, here you go."

Xia Wanniang suddenly felt that having a son was enough.

Smiling, he took a bite of the yak jerky. The jerky was only salted, and it was made to be just the right hardness and chewy. "It would be better if it was spicy."

Seeing that she liked it, Auntie Xiao bought some for her as well: "You can't eat spicy food right now, it's good to have something to satisfy your craving."

When Xia Wanniang thought about the bland food during confinement, she felt that life would be difficult. She looked at the dried meat in her hand, at least she could still eat some dried meat now.
