Chapter 9 The Bazaar
Time passed in a hurry, more than three months passed in a blink of an eye, and Su Jingqi also came back several times, and the elegant uncle won the unanimous approval of Shen Su and Su Qi. However, as a military wife, Shen Aihua is really not easy, and the Yueren came back five times, and twice she was in a hurry.
The weather gradually got colder, people put on heavy cotton clothes, and the two little loli of our Su family finally recovered. Especially Shen Su, who has been here for more than three months, can be regarded as experiencing the feeling of being down-to-earth.
The two of them are naturally idle, and after Shen Aihua and Su Xuemin left for work that day, the two of them went out happily with full banknotes in their pockets.
I saw two half-grown children who couldn't tell their gender on the cold street, wrapped in thick old cotton coats, scarves tightly wrapped around half of their small faces, and wore wide big-brimmed hats.
After wandering around the street for a long time, they finally got some useful news, and knew that there was a market in the suburbs today, so they hurried over on their bicycles.
At this time, there was a market in the countryside, but it was only allowed to do so, and it was only available when the farming was slack, and there were regulations on what to sell.
Lock the bicycle to the side, pick up the back basket that turned out of the house, and the two of them walked over, it was a small trading market, with stalls in twos and threes, scattered very open.
The two of them looked around excitedly, and there were not many types. There are no pork, eggs, and grain, and it is not allowed to buy and sell privately, but there are those who sell duck eggs, and there are two places that sell ducks and rabbits, and there are even those who sell mutton, mountain goods, and homespun cloth.
The two of them first ran to the past selling mutton, and walked to the stall selling mutton, where the stall owner was an old man who was squatting listlessly on the ground.
In this era, people don't like to eat mutton, most of them don't know how to make it, it tastes bad, and it seems that the price should not be too expensive.
Shen Su pretended not to like it, "Uncle, why is there no pork, and the mutton is so fat?"
The old man is a sincere person at first glance, how do you know that Shen Su's old fritter has so many fancy intestines.
"Who dares to raise more pigs these days, there are indicators, and if you raise more, you will take advantage of socialism and cut off your tail. The old man waved his hand again and again in fear.
"Kid, why don't you buy some mutton? "The old man is actively selling.
"Uncle, how do you sell this mutton?" asked Su Qi with a wink.
"I don't want much for you two children, pork costs seven cents and two pounds, I don't want a ticket, six cents a pound, you can see it. ”
The two glanced at each other, this is cheap, mutton is much more expensive than pork in modern times, and they are not afraid of fat.
I looked at the pile of mutton, which was about twenty or thirty catties.
It's a bit heavy, but it's a rare opportunity. "Uncle, we all have these, you give us the rest of the bones. "You can also boil bone broth and drink it.
"No problem, I'll give you a name. When the old man heard that he bought them all, he nodded generously. "It's a total of thirty catties and six taels, counting you thirty catties, a total of eighteen yuan. ”
The old man was also very considerate and pretended to be two, afraid that these two children were small and could not carry one of them.
Shen Su paid for the mutton and put it in the basket that the two of them were carrying.
Hiss... It's so heavy.
The two of them carried the basket on their backs and shook their bodies a few times. The average weight is only about 60 pounds, and each person carries 15 pounds of things.
I bought some duck eggs, no egg tickets, one dime.
There are also some mountain goods such as mushrooms and wild vegetables, and I also bought some of them.
When I saw a rabbit for sale, I walked over and said, "How do you sell rabbits?"
The man who sold the rabbit glanced at the two of them and lowered his eyelids: "Two dollars a piece." ”
Su Qi's eyes widened, obediently, this is too dark, the two of them inquired before coming, and there are occasional rabbits sold in the market, at most for one dollar.
It's to see the two of them pit them.
"One for a dollar, if you can sell it, you can buy it all, if you can't sell it, forget it" Ignoring Su Qi's fuss, Shen Su said.
The man glanced at Shen Su and said embarrassedly, "Why don't you two add some more, one piece of five, one piece of five, and I will give it to you." "Although I know that it is a bit expensive, my family urgently needs money.
Seeing the man's insistence, Su Qi pursed her lips, but the temptation of meat still made her reluctant, "Then let's put it all up." "There are only two of them...
The man's eyes widened when he heard this, "Three dollars for two?"
This time, Suki was impatient, "Yes, yes. ”
Seeing Suki take out a large handful of colorful bills, the man quickly tied the rabbit together and handed it over.
In the end, the two of them went straight to the past of selling ducks, "Auntie, how do you sell this duck?" The stall owner is an aunt, and she is also very tightly wrapped, and she can't see her face clearly.
The stall owner glanced at the two of them, he didn't want to deal with them, this is a deal of several dollars, what money can the two half-grown children have, but think about the big money that the two of them bought just now, and then looked at the sharp things in the back basket, and suddenly the smile was gone.
Enthusiastically pointed to the duck in the cage and said, "Look at this duck's fat, five and one pieces each." ”
The two of them were speechless for a while, and this skinny duck with no meat is also called fat?
"Auntie, it's cheaper, we'll want it cheaper. Suki pointed to the four ducks on the ground.
The stall owner was overjoyed when he heard this, "Do you really want it?" and seemed to be in disbelief, adding up to six yuan.
"It's really aunty, let's get cheaper. Suki blinked.
The stall owner thought for a moment, "Then let's give you five cents cheaper, a total of five dollars and five." ”
Su Qi was still waiting to bargain again, so Shen Su pulled her and gave up. This place is too crowded to stay for a long time, and the two children bought so many things, I am afraid that they will attract the attention of many people.
Su Qi paid, and the aunt enthusiastically even gave the cage.
The two of them put the rabbit in it, and each carried a cage, and the three ducks and rabbits in it, carrying a heavy basket, staggered out.
"Hurry up, don't look back. Su Qi walked slowly, and Shen Su suddenly spoke.
"What, you mean someone is following us?" Suki suddenly became nervous.
"There are people behind us, not necessarily with us, but it's always good to get out of here. Shen Su comforted.
At this time, the two of them burst out with endless strength, and they didn't think things were heavy, and trotted all the way.
Running to the place where the bicycle was parked, Su Qi immediately put the back basket into the car basket and took Shen Su and Malier away.
Shen Su's feeling was not wrong at all, fortunately, there were too many people in this market to start, and the bicycle was parked at the door again, and the few people who followed behind missed their eyes, and the two disappeared.
When they came out of the market, they saw the two fat sheep they had just targeted running away, leaving them cursing in the same place.
