Because the distance is not far, a total of three or five streets away, so Wang Xin arrived at the free market at about 7:15.

At that time, there were very few people in the free market, only a few people set up stalls scattered there.

Most of the people who sell in the free market are people from the surrounding countryside, or some people who have access to the countryside to receive goods.

The surrounding villages are still relatively far from here, and it is not easy to rush at night, so it is natural to come a little later.

Wang Xin is close, a total of about ten minutes away, didn't he come early?

I saw that he had just stood at yesterday's booth for a few minutes, and Aunt Yao rushed over.

Not only was she able to catch up, but she also brought an uncle who was about the same age as her on the side.

The uncle looked like a scholar, and he was pulled by Aunt Yao, as if he was not very willing.

At this time, Wang Xin had already put everything away, and some small things were put into the pile of things he was carrying while there was no one around.

Seeing Aunt Yao coming, he hurriedly beckoned Aunt Yao to sit next to him and showed her the things in his hand one by one.

As for the uncle she brought, he was directly ignored by Wang Xin, and this uncle was pulled over by Aunt Yao to carry something, so there was no need to greet him.

"Auntie, look, it's 20 catties of rice here.

This is almond milk, this is glycerin, and petroleum jelly, all of which are produced by old brands in Shanghai.

……

By the way, half a pound of tobacco was also brought to you.

Look at the price!"

"No problem, just as I said yesterday, I also brought the industrial tickets and cloth tickets you wanted.

Except for the tobacco, the rest is a total of forty-three yuan.

Your half a catty of tobacco is not bad, my old man should like it, how about calculating one dollar and one tael for you, half a catty is five taels, and five yuan is a total of forty-eight yuan.

Here's the money, and there are five industrial tickets and three-foot cloth tickets, and you're all optimistic. ”

Aunt Yao first touched the rice, felt the dryness and humidity, and then checked it twice, and was very satisfied.

Then she took a look at the other things, and found that they were all very good, better than she had imagined.

Only then did he take out a small cloth package from his arms with a happy face, counted two yuan and took it out, and handed the rest to Ji Yue.

Wang Xin clicked a little, and after finding that the money ticket was correct, he pushed everything to Aunt Yao, leaving only a dozen catties of rice.

The remaining dozen catties of rice were to be reserved for the four men who greeted him yesterday.

Aunt Yao saw a lot of things, and hurriedly beckoned her wife to come over to help her carry rice, while she carried a small bamboo basket to pack those almond syrup, petroleum jelly and the like.

Then he stood up and greeted, "Young man, then I'll go first."

By the way, do you have any habits when you go out in the future?

It's when it's coming, when it's not going to come, and whatever. ”

"Saturday and Sunday may come, but if something happens, it won't come.

Except for Saturday and Sunday, the rest of the days should definitely not come, so if you want something, you can come by on Saturday and have a look.

It's decided, I'll bring it directly for you on Sunday. ”

Although Wang Xin doesn't feel that the class is a burden, he doesn't want to run this way to see the sky.

As the saying goes, those who drown know how to water, and the free market is definitely not so safe.

It's too diligent and too eye-catching.

That's why he said he would come two days a week, and he wasn't sure he would come, and if he found something wrong, he might not come.

"It's good!

Can you bring me another 20 catties of rice next Saturday or Sunday?"

Aunt Yao hurriedly squatted down again and asked.

Before Wang Xin could answer, the uncle who followed Aunt Yao pulled the corner of her clothes and whispered.

"Gui Juan, there is not much cash at home.

Wages will not be paid until next month. ”

"Yes, I forgot, young man, can we barter?

Is it possible to pay the bills with gold and silver instead of money?"

Aunt Yao then remembered that their family was different from before, now gold and silver are not allowed to circulate, and they can only use paper money, and their family really has no paper money.

Hurriedly asked again.

"Why don't you go to the bank to change it?"

Wang Xin really didn't want to accept gold and silver, because this kind of thing is really difficult to realize, and the depreciation of silver in the future is quite powerful.

Except, of course, silver dollars.

"Ahem!

You know, wealth doesn't show wealth!"

"Yes, you can, but I only accept gold or silver dollars, not silver ingots and anything like that.

And the price is the same as the bank. ”

Wang Xin hesitated for a while, feeling that there was nothing wrong with the gold.

"That's no problem!

Then we'll be sure to meet here next week, young man!"

Aunt Yao was finally happy now, holding a bamboo basket with one hand and her wife with the other, and the two snuggled up to each other and walked out of the free market.

……

Houfu Lane is a three-entry courtyard

There, three generations of the Yao family lived.

Aunt Yao, Aunt Yao's wife, Aunt Yao's parents-in-law, three sons, two daughters-in-law and one daughter.

When Aunt Yao came back yesterday, she had already told everyone else about the events of the day.

Although everyone thought that the possibility was not very large, after eating breakfast in the morning, they still sat at home and waited for Aunt Yao to come back.

What if it's true?

The fine grain at home has been cut off for half a month, and they vaguely feel that their throats and eyes have been thickened by drinking the coarse grain porridge every day.

At about eight o'clock, Aunt Yao and her wife finally came back happily.

As soon as he entered the house, he announced quite loudly: "Is everyone there?"

I bought everything I said I bought yesterday, and what the young man said is true, come and see. ”

Before the words were finished, the mother-in-law, two daughters-in-law and the youngest daughter rushed over.

As for the father-in-law, the father-in-law was not too embarrassed to come over, and the three sons went to work.

Several people surrounded Aunt Yao and looked at the things in her bamboo basket.

"Oh my God, this is the almond syrup of the palace lamp.

I haven't bought it since I left Huhai, and we only have clam oil in our department store.

That stuff is so oily, it's uncomfortable to use, and it's not as refreshing as almond dew. ”

Aunt Yao's mother-in-law was quite surprised and smiled with the bottle of almond dew.

She was also a socialite in Shanghai Beach back then, and since her family made a fortune, she has been living in Shanghai for a long time.

If it weren't for the fall of my family, maybe I would still be living there now.

Even so, even though she is nearly seventy years old, she still loves beauty, and even the maintenance is not bad, and she vaguely looks no more than sixty years old.

If it weren't for the fact that many things have nowhere to buy over the years, and many supplements and beauty things have not been replenished, maybe they would have looked younger.
