Chapter 53: Fresh Goods in the Bazaar

Zhou Shujie and Brother Tuesday finished buying the kettle from the supply and marketing cooperative, and then walked around the market together.

Now that some movements have just ended, there are still many people who are frightened by a certain soldier and dare not come out, and they are honestly at home!

The crowd of people selling in the bazaar can see that the old ones are wearing clothes with patches, these are old farmers, selling some of their own household things, and growing grain or vegetables from the garden.

Now the poultry are fed the most are wild vegetables and wheat bran, bean skin, grass and the like, will not be fed as in later generations, there is no warm chicken nest, so when the weather is cold, the chickens and ducks in the north will all stop laying eggs, and the eggs that can be seen in the market are the last batch of this year, which are all reluctant to eat and save by each family.

Zhou Shujie wanted to buy some eggs to go home and eat them to increase nutrition, and there were not many of them sold in each stall, less than twenty or thirty, and more than forty or fifty.

Zhou Shujie bought 20 eggs in the hands of an eldest lady, and a box for eggs, she used this box to buy 60 eggs from other people's hands, and the eggs sold in this neighborhood were basically bought by Zhou Shujie.

On Tuesday, Brother helped Zhou Shujie carry the basket and the 80 eggs.

After a few more steps, I saw a stall selling things in front of me, surrounded by a group of women, and it was impossible to see what he was selling from a distance.

Zhou Shujie walked over to this stall, and when he entered the crowd, he saw that they were buying a kind of head flower ornament called "silk", which was very brightly colored, red, green, and pink, and was used to tie the ends of the hair around the ends of the hair and tie it into a bow.

Many families with daughters, during the Chinese New Year, will buy two of these "silk", its raw material is the "silk" in the "silk satin", cut it into 5 cm wide strips, 50 cm long, one sells for five cents, and a dime is just enough to buy a pair.

The people who sell these novelties are generally flexible young people, they have connections, brains, and their families are generally in the city, and they will deliver goods to and from there, and they are responsible for buying and selling here.

Zhou Shujie stepped forward and bought two pink ones. He was going to send them for trial. Guo Juan'er, the little Guo of Sister-in-law's family.

After buying it, she got out of the crowd and found Brother Tuesday who was waiting for her outside.

Continue shopping, which has been a woman's favorite thing to do since ancient times. Although there are not many goods now, I am still very interested in shopping.

There are some people in the market who push them in carts, and cabbage, radish, green onions, and potatoes are selling vegetables that can be stored in winter.

But there are still many workers in this county, and they don't have such a big vegetable garden, and they need to sell their winter vegetables at the market every winter.

So now around these cars, are neatly dressed workers without patches on their bodies, usually the women of the family come out to buy this kind of winter vegetables, they negotiate the price with the old farmers who sell vegetables, and the old farmers will push the carts to help them deliver them to the door.

This bazaar is not too long, only two or three hundred meters away, and after walking for a while, you will come to the end.

At this time, Zhou Shujie saw a stall at the end. There were many people around, more than the person who sold silk first, and I also saw Brother Zhou and Sister-in-law Zhou in the crowd.

Zhou Shujie and Brother Tuesday leaned forward, and only when they got closer did they see where the two guys were buying, and after a closer look, Zhou Shujie recognized it, isn't this the same two people who sold kelp to her conch last time!

Is this a dish that sells the sea again?

I took a closer look at the goods on the stall.

There are really a lot of them, all of which are coastal and not easy to see in the Northeast.

For example, the kombu vegetables I bought last time are also a lot this time, and there are many people who are buying them.

There are also dried shrimps, as well as several small dried fish and one large dried fish.

Brother Zhou and sister-in-law Zhou were standing in front of the shrimp, hesitating whether to buy a little. At this time, I saw Zhou Shujie and Brother Tuesday coming over.

I saw that Brother Tuesday was carrying a basket in his left hand. In the other hand, he also holds a kettle.

Brother Zhou asked, "What have you bought here, and you are still holding baskets." ”

Zhou Shujie said with a smile: "I bought some eggs and a kettle, I just built a stove at home, and I bought a kettle to boil water to drink in winter." ”

Zhou Shujie asked Zhou's sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, what did you buy?"

Sister-in-law Zhou said with a smile: "There is no shortage of anything at home, so I bought two pieces of silk for my sister and them to wear as flowers for the New Year." ”

Zhou Shujie: "Well, I also bought two, I want to give them to Aunt Guo's granddaughter, the color is very good-looking, my daughter is too young to bring, or I will buy a few more." ”

Sister-in-law Zhou: "Hehe, isn't it, it's just that it looks good, so I bought two of them for each of them." ”

Standing on the side, Brother Tuesday asked Brother Zhou: "Big brother, what do you want to buy when you stand here, haven't you eaten the kelp that my sister bought last time?"

Brother Zhou said: "I see that he sells several things that I haven't seen, you see this is called dried shrimp, and dried fish He said that this fish is all fish in the sea, we haven't eaten it here, I want to buy two and go home to taste, I don't know which one is delicious, so I hesitate to buy you and come over." ”

Zhou Shujie listened to Brother Zhou's words, so she stood in front of her and took a closer look. I can't name any of these small dried fish, but I've eaten them before. This big dried fish, Zhou Shujie still knows it, it is called "mackerel", which is a common fish in the sea.

The two brothers who were selling things were beckoning people to buy things and collect money. As soon as the eldest brother looked up, he saw that the eldest sister standing in front of the stall was not the one who helped him last time!

The eldest brother opened his mouth and said: "This eldest sister, let's meet again, how about it, you see my stall, now there are more goods than before, eldest sister, which one do you like, I'll give you a cheaper." ”

Zhou Shujie smiled and asked, "Then how do you sell these things?"

The eldest brother asked his younger brother to greet the others, and he personally came over to greet Zhou Shujie, saying: "These dried shrimps are eight cents and one catty, this dried mackerel sells for one dollar and one catty, and the rest of these small dried fish are sold for five cents and one catty, eldest sister, see which one you want? I'll give you a dime cheaper." ”

Zhou Shujie turned around and asked Brother Zhou: "Big brother, which one do you want to buy?"

Brother Zhou said: "I don't know which one is good, you said to buy that one?"

Zhou Shujie thought about it and said to Brother Zhou: "Then let's buy some and go home and taste it, don't you know which one is good or not!"

Brother Tuesday had both hands occupied, so he could only roll his eyes at the sky, and said in his heart, "I still need to think about this idea for so long." ”

Later, they bought some of every fish in the stall. Of course, the brothers who sold the fish also gave them less money.

Zhou Shujie finally told the eldest brother that he would see if he could bring some persimmons, jujubes or something in Shandong.

People agreed without hesitation, saying that they would not be able to transport it until the weather was cold, otherwise they would be afraid that it would break down halfway.

Zhou Shujie made an agreement with someone that he would come to the market to buy things a year ago.

After that, the four siblings returned home with a full load.
