Chapter 226: Sunday Island Bazaar
After Shen Yichen heard the story told by Chen Yuanyuan, he didn't know what to think and was silent for a while.
"I didn't expect Master Xiangyun to have such an experience," Shen Yichen sighed.
Master Xiangyun has this past, so that the two of them also want to find out about Master Xiangyun's past, in case Fan Shuanghu is an old acquaintance of Master Xiangyun, then they must be prepared in advance.
"Well, since he used to be in mixed society, do you think Fan Shuanghu will know each other?" Chen Yuanyuan guessed.
"We can't just count on that villager, or we'll take you to the market later." Shen Yichen has been here several times and has known a lot of islanders, so he can also find out about the love and hatred of Master Xiangyun later.
"Eh, there's a market here?" Chen Yuanyuan didn't expect that there would be a market in such a cold area, and he immediately thought of a stall set up in an open space like a splendid garden.
"The gymnasium on the island is open every Sunday for the islanders to set up their stalls, and it is also convenient for outsiders to trade." Shen Yichen explained.
"No wonder I saw so many more boats at the dock just now, so let's go after lunch." Chen Yuanyuan touched his stomach and felt a little hungry.
"Let's go out to eat now, there are a lot of local delicacies in the market, so let's just bring more supplies." Shen Yichen said.
Now that currency has long become waste paper, with the experience of Shen Yichen's several trips, he began to prepare materials that can replace currency.
Chen Yuanyuan took out more than a dozen boxes of antipyretics, cold medicines, and allergy medicines from the space, and also prepared some common vegetable seeds and more than a dozen packs of cigarettes.
In addition, cereals, milled rice and flour are also divided into one pound and one bag with plastic bags, and each 30 small packets are stored in space to facilitate the replacement of materials at that time.
Since the extreme cold stopped supplying water, the most scarce thing on the island surrounded by the sea is pure water, after all, it doesn't matter if adults drink snow water, but some children with bad stomachs can't stand the cold and impurities of snow water.
But considering that it is too high-profile to keep exchanging water for supplies, the two still decided not to exchange water for supplies.
After the two were ready, they put on thick winter coats, backpacks, pulled a camping cart and set off, just in time to meet a straw hat fisherman who was working with his son.
"You're out there?" The straw hat fisherman asked politely when he saw the two of them with a large bag.
"Yes, we're going to take a look at the market." Shen Yichen said.
"I'm also going to buy groceries, why don't you have a piece?" The straw hat fisherman pointed to his tricycle.
Although the weather was fine today, it was a twenty-minute walk away, and the two of them were not polite, and they took the electric tricycle of the straw hat fisherman to the market in the gymnasium.
When I arrived at the market, there were already a few people in the market, not only the local islanders but also many tourists.
The three-storey gymnasium is used for cooked food and semi-finished products on the top floor, while the middle floor is for all types of dry goods, and the ground floor is for seafood.
When the two arrived, it was almost lunch time, so they went to the cooked food area on the top floor to treat their stomachs first.
There are not many cooked food stalls, there are about seven or eight stalls, and there are five or six public table stools in the middle, and the stalls mainly sell some seafood noodles and local snacks.
"Auntie, your seafood ramen is very fragrant, how can you sell it?" Chen Yuanyuan walked to a stall and asked.
"Girl, you really know the goods, ours is fish noodles, made of fish meat by hand, a bowl of clean noodles of five or two meters of noodles, and the exchange of seafood will be counted separately, if there are others, you can also take a look." The proprietress in an apron enthusiastically introduced.
Chen Yuanyuan and Shen Yichen each asked for a fish noodle, and after choosing a few favorite seafood, the proprietress weighed that it would cost eight taels of one catty.
Chen Yuanyuan reached into the backpack and took out two small bags of rice from the space, The proprietress took out the rod and weighed it and saw that it was more than enough, and was about to open it to Chen Yuanyuan to "change".
"Don't look for it, add more seafood to his bowl." Chen Yuanyuan said.
"Okay, okay, can I add a little green dragon to you." Usually many people also eat bowls of clean noodles, but today the two young people are also very generous, so the proprietress picked a big little green dragon and handed it to Shen Yichen to see.
After Shen Yichen responded, the proprietress accepted the polished rice and began to cook noodles for the two.
Seeing that there were slowly more and more people in the cooked food area, Shen Yichen took a seat in front of the noodle stall, and Chen Yuanyuan went to other stalls to buy some snacks.
Handmade large fish balls the size of eggs, fried oyster cakes, octopus balls, cold kelp and various charcoal-grilled seafood, Chen Yuanyuan spent three packets of cereals in exchange for a lot of delicacies.
It's a pity that the fresh water on the island is too precious, and Chen Yuanyuan, the only stall that sells drinks, saw that the shopkeeper washed it when he saw that the snow water had melted, and he still didn't dare to drink it indiscriminately.
Looking at such a rough work, Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help frowning, why don't you boil it too, it's best to take out a bottle of water in the space.
After returning to their seats, the two of them feasted, although many condiments were out of stock after the end of the world, but there was less technology and ruthlessness, and the food was the original taste of the food, and it was really cool to eat seafood along the coast!
Chen Yuanyuan ate so much that his stomach was supportive, so he called Shen Yichen to get up and go shopping to eliminate food.
The two of them did not leave the top floor in a hurry, in addition to the cooked food stalls, there were also many handmade foods that were not cooked.
Chen Yuanyuan bought some fish noodles, Changzhou fish balls, cod cakes, cooked octopus legs, etc., and prepared to bring the taste of Changzhou Island back to the Fairview Garden for them to taste.
Then I walked to the dry goods area on the middle floor, which was similar to the categories that Chen Yuanyuan had stocked up on when he was in the seafood store before.
But some fish gelatin was as cheap as cabbage, and Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but spend a few plates of medicine to replace a lot.
After walking around, the camping cart and Shen Yichen's backpack were already full, and when he was about to go to the bottom floor, he didn't expect to meet an acquaintance.
"Miss Chen, Mr. Shen, are you here too?" As soon as Assistant Zhao saw Chen Yuanyuan, he stepped forward to say hello.
"Yes, come and buy some seafood to eat, is Zheng Jiayu here?" Shen Yichen said.
"He's downstairs looking at the seafood, you're done buying?" Assistant Zhao asked when he saw Shen Yichen pulling a cart full of supplies.
"Almost, just hang out." Chen Yuanyuan said.
"Brother Zhao, I got you what you ordered last week!" A stall owner shouted when he saw Assistant Zhao.
"You go get busy first, let's go down and find him." Chen Yuanyuan saw that a stall owner called Assistant Zhao, so he said.
"Okay, then you go down first, and I'll come down when I'm done." With that, Assistant Zhao left.
The two of them worked together to carry the stuffed camping trolley to the ground, but when they turned the stairs, they accidentally dropped a shrimp and rolled down the stairs.
A boy about seven or eight years old immediately rushed forward to pick it up, and just when Chen Yuanyuan thought he was helping to pick it up, the boy ran away.
"Hey! Give me back the stuff! Chen Yuanyuan shouted while carrying the camping cart with Shen Yichen.
