Chapter 17 Rush to the Market

The bazaar is generally small-scale once a week and large-scale once a month, and although it is still a planned economy, it is no longer as tight as in previous years, and the land is distributed to the households, and individual farmers are allowed to sell some of their own things.

Zhang Chunhua shouted Tian Xiaoya to get up before dawn, the market is in the county, it takes two or three hours to walk over, and if you don't go early, you can't occupy a good position, she still has to.

When she went out, Zhang Chunhua thought about it, and took out two big unity sheets from the locked iron box, the old girl wanted to eat honey, and then buy some chicken cakes and peach crisps for the old girl to eat slowly.

Yang Juan also went with her, bringing more than a dozen yuan to see what she could buy, and Zhou Dongmei stayed in the house to watch the children cook for the men by the way.

Tian Xiaoya was still wearing the blue and white sportswear she wore last time, with a pair of white sneakers on her feet, and hurriedly followed behind Zhang Chunhua and Yang Juan, just walking for more than half an hour, and as soon as she walked to the town, she was out of breath.

Zhang Chunhua felt sorry for the old girl's body, there was a bus in the town, three cents a ticket to the county seat, she thought about it and took out three cents from her pocket and stuffed it to the old girl, letting her take the bus.

Tian Xiaoya also knew that it would definitely not be possible for her body to go to the county seat, and she would not be able to, "Mom, I have money, let's take a car together." ”

"We don't sit, three cents a ticket, three people nine cents, you can eat a pound of soy sauce, what are you spending this money for."

"If you don't sit, then I won't sit either. Mom, I have money, I invite you to take a car with your sister-in-law and go together. Your feet are good, in case it hurts again when you walk too much, is it more expensive to take medicine, which one do you say is cost-effective. ”

Tian Xiaoya's words made Zhang Chunhua think about it, the last time I asked Mr. Bai to see a doctor, it cost more than three yuan in total, and I don't know if my feet are useless, if it hurts again?

No, I just don't look at it anymore, it's too expensive, and I can endure it if it hurts again!

"Mom, the car is here, there are a lot of seats."

Tian Xiaoya pulled the basket in Zhang Chunhua's hand, and was the first to rush to the bus, Zhang Chunhua saw the girl running with the basket, and was so anxious to chase after her, shouting to be careful of the eggs!

Yang Juan saw that her sister-in-law and mother-in-law had run away, and hurriedly followed, three people, you chase me, Tian Xiaoya got in the car and took out her pocket money to buy three tickets, Zhang Chunhua straightened her mouth distressedly, and it was too late to get the money back and get off the bus.

"Mom, sister-in-law, hurry up, I've got a place for you."

Zhang Chunhua and her eldest daughter-in-law had to sit up, and she felt distressed along the way, nine cents, she had to sell more than ten eggs, and more than ten eggs were gone in one trip, and after sitting for an hour, chattering for an hour, the car arrived at the county seat.

Tian Xiaoya's eyes widened, and he looked at the novelty along the way, it turned out that this was the county seat in the eighties, there were bungalows everywhere, and there were not many cars on the road, but there were many people on bicycles, and they often heard the tinkling sound of bicycle bells, and once they saw a four- or five-story building, it was very rare.

Under the leadership of Zhang Chunhua, several people walked for more than 20 minutes, and came to an alley with a big archway at the door, where the flow of people shuttled, the voices of people were boiling, and the archway said Donggang Market.

Because there is a piece of Tangxun Lake under this bazaar, there used to be a port, and now the port has been canceled and covered with bluestone slabs, but the name has been retained, standing at the mouth of the alley, Tian Xiaoya felt a trace of refreshing blue not far away.

"Mom, there aren't many people, let's find a good location."

Seeing the people in the market, Yang Juan became more and more anxious, from the end of the New Year to the present, this is the first time she has rushed to the market, and she can't wait to go in and have a look.

Zhang Chunhua nodded, and several people found a place, put down the bamboo basket and uncovered the blue and white flower cloth on it, revealing the eggs inside.

"Native eggs, home-raised native eggs."

Seeing Zhang Chunhua shouting, Tian Xiaoya felt funny, and shouted in her appearance: "Native eggs, delicious native eggs, native eggs fed with rice bran chicken vegetables and meat worms, the egg yolk is yellow and fragrant, come and take a look." ”

Tian Xiaoya's words kept a middle-aged woman, and when she saw her aunt stop, she immediately shouted hard, "Sister, look at it, my local eggs are fresh and big, and the yolk is also big, and they are very fragrant." ”

"Sister?" The woman laughed, "Little girl, you're going to call me Auntie at my age." ”

"Auntie?" Tian Xiaoya raised her head, "Sister, you look like you're in your twenties, where is your aunt, then you have to say it's an aunt, my mother is a grandmother." ”

This successfully amused middle-aged women, what era women like to be praised by others for being young and beautiful, "You little girl is really good at talking, okay, just taste your eggs, how do you sell them?" ”

"One dime."

"A dime?" The woman frowned, "The eggs are all eight cents, and you sell them for a dime, it's too expensive." ”

In fact, Zhang Chunhua has been entangled for a long time, and always feels that she lost nine cents in the car today, and she wants to earn back the nine cents from the eggs.

"Sister, my eggs are really good, I catch insects every day to feed the chickens, so the eggs are also big, or you buy ten and I'll let my mother give you one, you are the first customer today, give you the biggest discount."

"Okay, you little girl really knows how to say, one dime is one dime, I'll have twenty."

"Okay." Tian Xiaoya bent down, "Sister, I'll pick a big one for you, can you rest assured that my eggs will be delicious, your basket?" ”

After she stretched out her hand, the middle-aged woman was a little embarrassed, she rarely entered the vegetable market, her mother-in-law cooked at home, she gave a piece of information in the morning when she rested today, passed by Donggang, saw the bustle inside, and then came in to take a turn.

Tian Xiaoya looked up and saw that the woman had no vegetable basket, this middle-aged woman wore gold-rimmed glasses, a long-sleeved white shirt on the upper body, black straight-leg pants on the bottom, the pants were ironed straight seams, and a pair of black wedges on her feet, to be honest, she didn't look like a vegetable buyer.

"Sister, I'll borrow you a plastic bag."

Tian Xiaoya had already been staring at the stall selling sugar and oil baba not far away, she still wanted to buy a bunch to taste it for a while, and now it was just right for her to buy a bunch of sugar and oil baba and ask the boss for a bag.

"Is this your girl?"

"Well, my youngest child, old girl." Zhang Chunhua said with a smile.

"Your girl's mouth can speak well, and she looks quite clever." The middle-aged woman praised that she had heard Tian Xiaoya ask for two plastic bags from an uncle.

"Country children, just be bold, they can't say anything."

The middle-aged woman smiled and walked away with her eggs.

At this time, Tian Xiaoya's sugar and oil baba was also good, and the uncle who fried the sugar and oil baba called her to go over and get it.

Tian Xiaoya held the hot and golden sugar oil baba drizzled with sugar juice, and sent it to Zhang Chunhua's mouth first.
