On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the round building market is lit up.

The market staff, who are fully prepared, are all working hard and waiting for the arrival of customers at their posts.

The people of the North Shore came early, most of them before dawn.

As soon as the door opened, on both sides of the doorway, two teams of people dressed festively and smiling bowed their heads in unison: "Welcome to your guests!" ”

The people of the North Shore, who were in a hurry and were about to squeeze in, suddenly became shy, and consciously kept some distance from the welcoming employees, and naturally lined up.

There is a fare for crossing the river, and each village collects money and sends people to the city to purchase it.

It can be said that the vast majority of people have never even entered the city, let alone such treatment.

Even if they are plainly dressed and have patches on their clothes, they are guests in such a grand place, and they are worthy of welcome and distinguished guests.

All of a sudden, it felt different.

The movements pouring into the bazaar were slow and civilized.

The bazaar is brightly lit.

When people enter the door, they can't help but look up.

"One, two, three, four, five! It's five floors! ”

"It's really a mussel shell grinding tile, I heard that a tile is hard to find! The things that the big families are reluctant to use have paved a whole street! ”

There was a team of guides waiting at the door, two adults and a group of half-grown children, all dressed in uniform market uniforms.

"Ladies and gentlemen, buy New Year's goods and go to the life supermarket near the left, the clothing market is opposite the life supermarket, the food street is to the right, please go through the middle gate to ...... to Fumanzhai"

A guide stood in the doorway, holding a strangely shaped trumpet-shaped object, shouting loudly.

Behind him, there was a big sign, but the first guests were all villagers from nearby villages, and not many of them could read.

As soon as he finished speaking, the errand boy who was responsible for guiding stood in front of the flow of people in an orderly manner and shouted.

"Go to this side of the supermarket!"

"This way the clothing market is coming!"

"I haven't had breakfast yet!"

"The middle gate is here, is there anyone who goes to Fumanzhai?"

……

Even if you can't read, you know where to go after listening to this shouting.

Most of them came to buy New Year's goods, and they all went to the supermarket.

"Wow! What a big shop! ”

When you enter the door of the supermarket, there is a hall with a row of cabinets on the left and right.

"If you are carrying anything other than money, sacks, or cooked food, please store your belongings in a locker, lock them, keep your keys, and then go shopping."

Everyone traveled lightly to do New Year's goods, so no one moved.

"Store your things, go to the entrance on the left, and after you buy your things, check out at the exit on the right."

Everyone rushed in, facing one shelf after another, without any obstruction, and some couldn't figure out what to do.

However, without waiting for them to think about it, the boy was instructed to come forward and ask enthusiastically:

"Uncle, what do you want to buy? Oh~ oil and salt! Oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are all in the seasoning area, please go this way! ”

"Auntie, what would you like to buy? Weigh some fresh meat and dumplings for the New Year, raw meat, fruits and vegetables are in the fresh area, please go here. ”

……

The half-grown child's crisp inquiry made people can't help but let down their guard and can't help but chat a few more words.

"There are so many things, just unobstructed, how can they be sold?"

"If you want to buy it, you can take it off and put it in your own bag or in a bamboo basket provided by the supermarket, and when you go out, you can line up at the exit to pay.

By the way, some things sold by the pound, after being loaded, need to be weighed and priced in the corresponding place. ”

"What? Take it yourself? Aren't you afraid of people stealing? ”

"Therefore, you can't bring the goods inside into the life supermarket, and you have to store them in advance. As for the thief, did you see the two men at the exit? They're all monks! ”

"Hiss~ What are these wooden cards?"

"This is a wooden sign with a price, and all items in the supermarket are clearly priced."

……

In the small talk room, you can figure out how to buy in the supermarket.

"Hey, wait, what's the price on this pottery bowl?"

People walk from shelf to shelf, and before they reach their destination, they always see something they like and can't help but stop.

"Look at this horizontal and vertical, it is ten, the original price is ten cents, the opening discount is one percent, and now it is sold for nine cents!"

Originally, I just thought of the bowl that was missing at home, and asked about it, but it turned out that the original price was cheaper than the one penny sold in the city, and after the discount, it was two pennies cheaper than the one sold in the city!

I suddenly felt that if I bought a bowl, I could make a net profit of two pennies!

The discount is only available a year ago, after this village, there is no such shop, buy!

So there were two more bowls in my pocket.

There are countless examples of this.

When I went to the supermarket, I bought a lot of things, and I spent more money than expected, but my face was full of red because they spent less money and bought more things.

Wisely put his things in the cabinet in the hall, locked them, and took the key and went to the market easily.

The New Year's goods are done, nothing is light, come and come, don't take a good look at this bazaar?

At this time, the first river crossing boat had arrived.

The later guests were literate and looked at the various signs, and the illiterate looked at the movements of the people in front of them, and then the guide explained a little, and soon understood what to do.

The bazaar gradually became lively.

In the morning, this river ferry boat was crowded with people next to each other, and most of them had a cold wind blowing in their stomachs.

After entering the door, I smelled the fragrance wafting from the food street on the right, and unconsciously walked over there.

And then it was an eye-opener.

There are all fly restaurants, which are called snack street parts, and what they sell are placed at the door, and you can see them at a glance.

I've seen it, I've never seen it, there's everything.

Small pieces of tofu and fragrant green onions grilled on a large iron plate.

The potato cubes are wrapped in chili flakes, yellow and red, and make people drool.

Kebabs, grilled gluten, grilled pig's trotters......

The people of the entire county town have never seen so many baked things, as if everything can be baked.

In addition to these, there are also various pies.

The thin batter is scraped with bamboo slices to make it thinner than paper, beaten with an egg, brushed with sauce, rolled with shredded potatoes, green vegetables, sliced meat, etc., and is said to be called pancakes.

There are also shoe soles-shaped pancakes, layered mille-feuille pancakes, and egg scones with beaten eggs in the crust......

Everything is full of color and flavor, and I can't wait to taste it.

Even if you don't buy it, it's worth it to see how these common ingredients make such a novel and delicious thing at the door of the store!

If you see too much, no matter how reluctant you are, you can't help but buy one or two.

After all, each of them is not expensive, and most of them are a few pennies.

After walking this street, I was full before I knew it, and when I came in, I had an empty stomach, and when I came out, I held my waist.
