Chapter 57: Rushing to the Market

The stationmaster whispered, "Young man, I'm doing a good job, I've done everything you said." You see, don't you go around talking nonsense. "Don't worry, stationmaster, although I am not very old, I can say what I can and can't say. I can still tell the difference. After Lin Bin said this, the stationmaster patted him on the shoulder. And then walked away.

After the stationmaster left, Zhang Daniu beckoned the farmers who came to the station to sell grain to collect the grain. The farmers saw that the stationmaster and Lin Bin were so close, and thought that it was Lin Bin that their grain could be purchased, and they all thanked him, and there were a few of them, just now Lin Bin invited them to go to the stationmaster's office together, but they didn't go, and they were still there to teach Lin Bin, thinking that now they are still benefiting because of him, the whole person feels embarrassed.

Lin Bin felt ashamed when he saw them, and said: "Fellow villagers, it is really not my credit for you to sell grain, I can only say that the stationmaster does not want some people to do illegal things behind his back." So after the stationmaster found out, he naturally came out to call the shots for the villagers. I'm just going to talk to the stationmaster about our family's food problem. ”

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is too modest. When the villagers saw that Lin Bin was not taking credit, the more they felt that their old faces were flushed.

They all opened their mouths to prevent Lin Bin from leaving, and they had to buy him watermelons. Lin Bin found that the villagers were so enthusiastic. I'm a little embarrassed. waved goodbye to the villagers, got on the car and left.

Lin Bin rode the electric car and didn't even go out of the gate, but two fellow villagers stopped him. I only saw two fellows carrying two large watermelons and melons. Seeing that the fellow was carrying something for himself, Lin Bin and his grandmother shirked in every possible way, and the villager put the watermelon and melon directly on the car and left.

After leaving the grain station, Lin Bin, his grandmother and Dashan's mother rushed to the market.

Speaking of catching up with the market, Lin Bin can't say the specific time of its rise. But anyone who has been to the countryside knows what a market is. What is called a bazaar.

In the countryside, there is a kind of street called rushing to the market. People from all villages gather in the market, and it's called a bustle. On the day of the market, the people in the village will definitely get up early in the morning, three by two, three, three, young and old, men and women, from different homes near and far, walking and chatting.

The time of the rural market is not uniform, generally one and three, two and four, and each episode is about one day apart! If this episode is met today, it will definitely be another episode tomorrow. Rural people want to rush to the market, every day, the market in each township, the time of the market will never conflict.

Lin Bin remembers the situation in his previous life when he was a child in his hometown to catch the market. When I was a child, I loved to be lively, and if I didn't have money, I could look around in the lively bazaar, and I was even more happy to have one or two "huge" pocket money. Whenever I think about it, these are full of smiles.

Many villagers come to the market early in the morning, and some will sell the crops in their fields during the season. Not only is it fresh and inexpensive, but you can also negotiate the price. This is in stark contrast to the price-priced items in supermarkets in big cities. Absolutely green and pollution-free, there is no so-called food safety problem. Eat with confidence.

Speaking of rushing to the market, we have to mention the scene of the market. And when it comes to the scene of the bazaar, we have to mention the clothing stalls in the bazaar, which sell not brands, and the prices are cheap. Clothing stalls, most of which are temporary stalls set up in the middle of the road, and clothing can also be bargained.

When you come to the stall to buy vegetables, although the people who sell vegetables do not use electronic scales, they will not be short of catties and taels with rod scales. A fair shake. Absolute trust in merchants.

Walking and walking, Lin Bin found that he saw an uncle on the side of the road, selling things that he hadn't seen for many years in front of the stall. That is, there are also tobacco leaves that the older generation loves to smoke. It is also very rare in the city and in the countryside of later generations.

Continuing to walk into the market, you can see the fan hung with an iron hook and a piece of pork on the meat stall, and the meat here is all freshly slaughtered pigs. Don't worry about the brightly colored pork like the city people, it's soaked in formalin. Although the current rural traders are shrewd, they still can't do this kind of thing.

Further on, after coming to the livestock trading area. There will be chickens, ducks, geese, piglets, and so on. They were all kept in cages, and those who weren't in cages had their hands and feet tied. If you pay for it, you can take it away, let the merchant help you kill it, or take it home and slaughter it yourself.

When Lin Bin and his grandmother came to the fish stall. You can see that the fish sold at the market are all thrown on the ground, and the live fish are in the fish tank. After looking at it, the seller will help you handle the fish and take it away. Don't worry about fish scales, etc.

Seeing the sugar gourds sold on the market, Lin Bin remembered that year. I rushed to the market and saw the scene when I sold sugar gourds. Remembered. At that time, when I was a child, I saw the sugar gourds sold on the market, and I was very greedy, I could eat them, and I could be happy for a day.

As Lin Bin moved on. I saw the steamed buns and steamed buns that always make us covet, that is, on the street when we rush to the market. I saw the oil pan on the side of the stall. After seeing the fried meatballs, sprinklers and so on. Unconsciously your stomach growls non-stop. Drooling, to weigh a little taste. to satisfy your appetite.

There is no counter, and there is always a jar full of candy on the front. Fruit candy, mints, sesame stalks, toffee, biscuits...... How much money you have, how much sugar you can buy. Seeing these Lin Bin in front of the snack stall was deeply touched.

When Lin Bin saw that there were still some skills on the stalls in the market that were about to be lost, the feather dusters he handmade were spotless after use. Thinking of the rural bazaars of later generations, these are far from visible.

When he saw that there were still blowing villains, and animal craftsmanship, and hand-woven baskets and baskets, Lin Bin noticed that there were many old people who did handicrafts.

Walking further on, I saw a master on the side of the street. If the shoes are broken, you can find a master who repairs the shoes. This master is the legendary shoemaker, don't underestimate the shoemaker, to be honest, he is also very skilled. But with the development of the economy, people's shoes are often replaced directly when they are broken. Therefore, in later generations, the shoemaker was also unsearchable and almost extinct.

When I saw the tailors, I thought that when I was a child, there was a tinkering on the clothes and handed them over. In later generations, it should be that the quality of the clothes was good, and it was difficult to find the tailors on the street in the bazaar.

After this episode was over, Lin Bin couldn't help but think of a ballad, which was written like this: "From spring to autumn, pickled pickles and cotton clothes, mixed flowers and grains were packed up, and I was determined to drive Wangji." Wangji South Street sold grain, sold grain to buy things, bought an umbrella in Jiangnan, and bought a round and upright fence. I bought one of the locust wood flat baskets, two of the thorn baskets that carried the dung, and after the odds and bits were bought, the donkey was pulled in the dumpling shop and transferred home. "Look at the joy of this gathering.

Folk songs, vividly written scenes of people rushing to the market. Not only that, this time Lin Bin rushed to the market, and thought in his heart, I don't know when the next time I catch the market, although I was reborn, but I also have my own unfinished ambitions in the past and present life, although the rural market is good, it will inevitably slip away from his hands in the end. Seeing all the things in the bazaar, I lamented that people had lost a lot of what they once had. But time flies, take some away, and some will surely be sent.

Just let it stay in the memory.
