Chapter 265: See "Chaotic Market" Again
In seventy-six years, the county has not heard of a person having a freezer. Even in the commune's restaurants, there are no freezers.
After these pig killings, the male laborers in Hantun Village have basically learned. Even from twenty-six, it's no problem. However, Shimiao Village is not good, not to mention the two production teams that came, plus more than 100 households, and fed more than 500 pigs.
Grandma also considered for them, and decided to start from the 24th of the lunar month and end on the 29th. Ninety pigs were killed in one day, enough for them to work.
Everything was discussed, and they left with a thousand thanks. Grandma said to her uncle and grandfather: "Brother, let's still follow the original law, let the patriotic couple be responsible for sending it, and bring sand and cement when they come back." ”
The school has a holiday on the twenty-second day of the lunar month, and this year's New Year's steaming things have to rely on Youyou's mother herself. The eldest aunt instructed Wisdom: "Huihui, you help your aunt work at home, our family, relying on your aunt alone, can't be busy." ”
Yoyo's father accosted: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'm at home this year, and I'm not busy." ”
Only then did the eldest aunt reflect: "Why did I forget about you, now I can rest assured, we are waiting to eat ready-made." ”
Dad's cooking is recognized by the family, especially in the past two years, there are many good things, and Dad shows his hands from time to time, which is even more popular with everyone. Every time Dad cooks a dish, the kids rush to eat it.
On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, grandma and Youyou went to Pingcheng. This time, the two of them were much more relaxed. The stove is lit, the kang is burned, and the house is warm. In addition to taking a bath, the mother and daughter don't enter the space anymore, and they eat and live in the house. When you lie down on the hot kang, you don't want to get up.
If you have no money, you will go to the store, walk down the street, and buy it when you see the right one. At the end of the year, there was a market in the city almost every day, and my grandmother saw it and sighed: "This year, it is much more lively than before, and the street is chaotic again." ”
"Grandma, what is the chaotic market?"
"You see, it's not a market day, it's more lively than a market. Earlier, after the twenty-third day of the lunar month every year, there was a gathering every day, and the sellers did not set up stalls according to the original division of the market, and it was convenient to put them there, so people said that it was a chaotic market.
It's been ten years, and I haven't seen a chaotic market. It looks like no one cares about it now, and there are so many people selling things this year. Grandma said and stopped in front of a stall selling red dates.
A basket full of dried red dates, big and full, the old man who sold the dates saw his grandmother stop, so he grabbed a few from the basket and handed them to his grandmother: "Big sister, you taste it, don't you see that my dates are sweet?"
Grandma took it and ate one, and asked her, "Old sister, your dates are really good, how do you sell them?"
"I picked it at home, two cents and five cents a pound, how many pounds do you want?"
"How many catties do you have in this basket of dates?" asked Grandma, turning her hand out from the bottom of the basket to see what the dates looked like underneath.
"I weigh it at home, a total of 20 pounds. ”
Grandma saw that her dates were the same, and said, "I'm going to be finished, you can weigh it." The old man weighed it with the scale, poured the dates into the pocket that his grandmother took out, and then weighed the empty basket, twenty catties and four taels more.
Grandma gave her 5.10 yuan, she took five yuan, and handed the dime to grandma again. "I brought half a catty more, just for people to taste, you are finished, and you didn't give me a bargain, how can you ask for more money." ”
Youyou feels that the people at this time are real, and they are not like the legendary small merchants and hawkers.
There are all kinds of shops on both sides of the street, selling everything, but most of them are related to the Chinese New Year. Pots, pot lids, and even brooms for brushing pots are sold, one out of five, and some people really buy them.
Two middle-aged women in the city each picked four: "I bought enough for two cents for a year, and I didn't sell it before, so let the people from my hometown give two of them, and I have to take care of their food, which is more than this." ”
The one next to him nodded: "Every time I come, I will send two, and if you are stingy, there are several people when you come, and it will be annoying to look at it." How good is this, not only to save money but also to worry. ”
There was a pile of brooms in front of the old man, and Grandma also picked ten. "This year, the water is up, and the sorghum is confiscated, and the family is really useless. ”
The old man smiled and said, "I made more than 30 yuan just by selling brooms this year, and I can buy it for more than a quick amount of money on that set." In this city, buying and selling is easy to do. ”
For five cents a piece, it was sold for more than thirty dollars, how many brooms do you have to tie? Looking at the old man's smiling face, Yoyo suddenly understood what the people in the village said about living a good life.
A broom also uses more than a dozen empty sorghum ears, usually everyone is tied two for their own use, and the rest is not only burned for firewood.
The old man tied it up with a little effort and took it to the city to sell, earning more than 30 yuan in one winter, enough for a family to have a good year.
This scheming, of course, and hard work, in the market in winter, I have to stand for half a day every time, but I don't suffer from cold.
Grandma bought chickens, ducks and geese, dozens of them every day, and the two pushed the bicycle, tied to a big basket behind them, and threw them into the basket when they bought them.
This year, there are fresh fish sold in the market every day, all of them are wild big fish, as long as they are alive, grandma will sell them when she sees them.
In the leisurely space, there are slaughtering machines, which are slaughtered in it, and a warehouse is specially found to store them. This is all free-range, and it will be eaten slowly after being left away.
When I entered the department store, I wanted to buy it when I saw the right one. Now that I have money, my grandmother won't stop me. In fact, although grandma is old, she still likes shopping.
All the good things in Yoyo's mind, she bought and saved them. Ten silk quilt covers, ten pure wool blankets, and brocade are also required for horses. In another two years, the market will be opened, and although there are more brocade colors, the quality is not as good as it is now.
There are six beds left in the hand-embroidered silk quilt, and the grandmother is going to finish. Grandma also said: "When we get to Linshui, let's pick a few more beds, we have to put them for you, earlier, my daughter got married, and my mother accompanied me to send six beds of Suzhou embroidered silk quilts, each bed is not the same, it is called a good look."
It's a pity that I prepared so much silk for your mother, and I didn't use any of them. When you get married, grandma will give you good ones. Wisdom will be fourteen years old in the New Year, and now I really have to start preparing, and I will be eighteen in a few years. ”
Yoyo listened to his grandmother's chatter and thought: This should be what people often call the generation gap, but the future generations of Yoyo have no relatives and have no chance to feel it. This time I have a chance, I listen to it, I feel warm in my heart, and it feels good to have loved ones.
The two went to the market in the morning, the store in the afternoon, and went to the wholesale department to buy things when they had time. Yoyo also took his grandmother to the post office, where he bought more than 30 stamps. Every year on New Year's Day and Spring Festival, new stamps will be issued, especially commemorative stamps, so Yoyo wants a lot.
