At the end of the year, the windy and "sandy" weather in Yue Liao finally disappeared, and the sky gradually cleared up.
In the past few days, the New Year's Fair in Yueliao County was very lively.
All the families within a hundred miles who could afford it came to Yue Liao to attend the market.
It is said that during this period, except for Yanzhou Fucheng, several other counties and cities in Yanzhou took turns to have this kind of excitement.
The days from the 20th to the 25th of the New Year are the busiest time before Yue Liao.
Because starting from November and a half, Yanzhou's caravan association will organize Yanzhou merchants of all sizes to hold a New Year's Eve fair "parade" throughout Yanzhou.
Bringing goods with Chinese New Year flavor from all over the world to one county after another and selling them in turn.
Naturally, Meiberry and Meiyu are indispensable in such a lively time.
"Except for the lack of fresh vegetables, everything else is okay..."
Meiberry and the others walked around in a big circle. In addition to dry fruits and desserts that were easy to store and transport, the food at the market was as well as various dry goods.
Yanzhou has the most special dried meats from all over the country.
Mutton jerky, horse meat jerky, and expensive beef jerky.
There are also some dried sea goods, such as kelp, dried shrimps, and dried fish.
However, the busiest part of the market today is the stall selling fresh frozen fish.
It is said that it was caught in a large lake northwest of Yueliao County.
The fresh fish are frozen at low temperatures as soon as they are fished out of the lake, and they are sold directly by the fish without weighing it.
This fish is divided into three piles: large, medium and small. The small ones are no more than the size of a palm, and they cost ten cents each;
The medium ones are about one to two feet in length and cost fifty cents each;
The rest are all big fish, three hundred coins each, no matter the price.
If it were normal times, many people would be reluctant to buy it, but the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and this frozen fish is a rare fresh meat. People who are used to eating mutton also want to change their taste at this time.
In addition, because they are sold by the piece, fish buyers are also very enthusiastic. They all want to buy first, and then use the same money to choose the largest one.
Therefore, Mei Mei and Mei You, who were a little late, had to squeeze in for a long time before reaching the front.
It was at this time that Meiberry happened to see the specific location of the so-called large fish fishing lake in the northwest on the electronic map in her mind.
After reading it, Mei Berry suddenly became excited.
There is only one large lake in the northwest, Mayberry, on the electronic map, and there seems to be a military camp near the lake~
Doesn’t the military camp next door care about fishing?
When Meiberry was wondering how the fresh frozen fish that appeared in the market today was caught, she was stunned when she looked up and saw the faces of several fish sellers wearing woolen felt hats.
Obviously, the other party also sensitively noticed Mayberry's gaze over her.
Suddenly, Meiberry's heart was filled with huge waves!
Oh my god!
Aren't these people "bandits" selling their sheep? !
The guys dressed as businessmen over there didn't recognize Mayberry, but they were a little embarrassed to be stared at by the young lady.
They are selling fish everywhere these days, and others see more fish than them~
Why is there a young lady looking at them so directly?
Could it be...(*/ω＼*)Oh my God!
"What's wrong? How many do you want to buy?"
Meiyou, who was already planning to buy a dozen frozen fish, turned around and saw Meiberry standing there stupidly, very confused.
"Ah, buy, buy, let me see how much I buy."
Meiberry nodded repeatedly, withdrew her gaze, and lowered her head to scan in front of these fat and strong frozen fish.
If this had happened before, Mei Qing would have been thinking about whether her mother should cook in an iron pot tonight, and then discuss whether to stick corn tortillas or steam small flower rolls.
But now, Mayberry's head is somewhat mush.
When those people fell into the water, Meiberry guessed that they were related to Gu Pinglu. Later, she checked in the heroine's famous scene to further confirm their identities.
In addition, there were troops stationed around the lake, and there were no people around.
If the fishing was really done by soldiers nearby, it's possible that these people came from that military camp.
Thinking of this, Mei Berry watched these people transform into fish merchants, and her mood was extremely complicated.
What are the soldiers at Yanpingguan doing on a daily basis?
Why does it seem like there are so many side jobs?
"Young lady, let me go and wrap this fish for you?"
He San came forward diligently and stared at Mei Berry for several seconds, which startled Mei Berry.
It was probably because Mayberry's face was wrapped so tightly that he didn't recognize her.
But Mayberry already recognized the other person.
This guy had used a knife on himself before!
Mei Bei took half a step back silently, pointed at the five fish in the middle, and said in a muffled voice: "These."
"Ouch~ There are so many and they are very heavy. I wonder how you are going to get them back, little lady? I can..."
"I'll call my dad over later, you wrap it up for me first."
Meiberry interrupted the other party's somewhat affectionate words and silently took a few steps back to keep her distance.
Of course He San could see Mei Berry's intention to avoid this.
So, He San laughed twice, took the money from Mei Bei, and took the fish Mei Bei picked back and wrapped it.
There was a strong aura of resentment in the back figure as he returned.
Mei Bei didn't understand, but it didn't stop her from seeing He San being laughed at by some big men around him.
It was as if he had done something stupid that made people laugh.
Mei Mei said hello to Mei You, who was still picking fish, and then squeezed out of the crowd, went back, put the mule boy in a cart and took him out to drive back.
As soon as Meiberry returned to the outside of the fish stall with the mule cart, she felt that the atmosphere around her was somewhat different.
When she squeezed into the crowd again, Mei Berry saw Mei You holding the head of a fish, while another person was holding the tail.
Looking at this posture, it was obvious that her sister seemed to be attracted to the same fish as others.
Originally, Mei Bei wanted to ask what was going on, but she heard the other party accuse Mei You of not being a first-come, first-serve person and grabbing fish from her.
With such an unkind tone, Mei Berry simply stopped asking and stood directly in front of Mei You. After taking a closer look, she realized that the person in front of her was Aunt Ba, the neighbor next door to Mei You's family.
Oh, Mei You seemed to have said that this guy likes to say mean words to hurt others.
"Do you have any rules? Who is as arrogant and short-sighted as you when buying things? Didn't you see me buying? When you come up, you want to snatch my fish. Who can pamper you like a stinky girl?"
"Hey, auntie, you said that my sister robbed you of your fish, do you have any evidence?"
Being questioned like this by Mei Bei, Aunt Ba frowned, not feeling guilty at all. She looked at the people around her and asked, "If you don't believe it, you can ask them, did I come first, did I take it first? "
A few people around her actually nodded, saying that this aunt had stayed here longer than Mei You and picked fish earlier than Mei You.
In this regard, Aunt Ba looked even more proud after hearing this, and looked at Mei Bei and the others with even more unreasonable looks.
It seems like Mei Yu really did something bad.
Mei Bei turned to look at Mei You, only to see a look of impatience flashing across Mei You's eyebrows.
It's over, her sister is going to be angry.
Just as Meiberry was thinking to herself, the system's check-in task arrived as scheduled——
[The host is asked to check in on the famous scene "Teach the Evil Neighbor a Teach" and reward two geese that are slaughtered cleanly. The time limit is half an hour. If the check-in fails, eat the iron pot to stew the water. 】
Mayberry:...?
Does this system know that she wants to eat fish stewed in an iron pot when she goes home?
As the saying goes, "It is better to offend a gentleman than a villain_(：3 ∠)_"
