, wonderful and free of pop-ups! What's more, there are five mouths in the house, and rice and food are expensive, so you have to take your time to eat. To fill your stomach, most of the time you have to rely on vegetables.
Therefore, Yang Ruoqing made plans with Sun before going out in the morning.
Today I have to go to Wa Market to buy more vegetables. At least, I have to be able to manage it for three days.
After eating it in three days, I will send you tofu at that time, and you can buy it and take it home!
Luo Fengtang nodded: "Sure, we'll go wherever you tell us to go!"
His family's situation is similar, with no fields and no vegetable garden.
My uncle and I have always relied on his bow and arrow for our food rations.
Sell the prey and buy some rice, grains and noodles, and dig some wild vegetables to make do while hunting.
Now that he got one hundred and sixty cents, he also wanted to buy some vegetables and other things to improve his uncle's food.
So, the two people talked and laughed and headed towards Wa City.
Luo Fengtang spent a penny to store the wheelbarrow in a carriage shop at the gate of Wa City.
Luo Fengtang took down the two wooden barrels, carried them in his hands, and followed Yang Ruoqing into Wa City.
The reason why I carried the wooden barrel was to use it to store the purchased items later.
In Wa City, because it was not a market day, it was not that crowded.
However, as the largest town in Shiliba Village, there are still a lot of various stalls and hawkers in Wa City.
Yang Ruoqing entered the tile market and stared straight at the fruits and vegetables on the stall.
There are fixed stalls in the Wa Market, and there are also peasant women from nearby villages who come with baskets to sell vegetables.
Yang Ruoqing specifically picked the stalls owned by peasant women because they came to sell vegetables on a temporary basis and did not need to pay a fixed stall rental fee.
They are all cabbage, and the fixed stalls charge one penny per catty, but the peasant women squatting in the corner pay two cents and three catties!
Yang Ruoqing spent four cents to weigh six kilograms of Chinese cabbage.
"Tangyazi, this cabbage is not bad, fresh and juicy. Why don't you buy some for home?"
Yang Ruoqing persuaded Luo Fengtang while putting the cabbage she bought into the barrel.
Luo Fengtang nodded happily and bought several kilograms.
The woman selling Chinese cabbage was so happy that she grabbed a bunch of home-grown garlic and gave them two pieces each.
Each one has seven or eight petals, enough for cooking for several days.
Next, Yang Ruoqing bought a few kilograms of white radish, a few kilograms of yams, two handfuls of garlic sprouts, and four or five heads of cauliflower, spending a total of twenty-five cents!
He and his uncle are the only ones in Luo Fengtang's family, and their demand for food is less than that of Yang Ruoqing's family.
But he also followed her example and bought a little of everything. The portions were not large, and they were enough for his uncle to change his taste.
"I'll buy the vegetables here first, and I'll go look at the meat over there."
Yang Ruoqing said, walking towards the row of stalls selling meat over there.
Meat stalls these days are almost the same as modern ones.
On the meat table, which was wider and thicker than the desk, there were slices of meat.
On the shelf in front of the meat table, hanging pork liver, pork loin, ribs, ribs, pig intestines and so on.
Some stalls also have huge pig heads.
The pig's hair has been shaved off, its eyes are closed, and its face is white. At a glance, it looks like it is smiling at you, which is very happy.
It's just this smell, not very good.
The two people walked all the way, and Yang Ruoqing went to the stall to inquire about the price.
Pork belly costs fifteen cents per catty, and ribs cost eighteen cents per catty. The ribs are ten pieces, the pork liver is eight pieces, and the pork kidneys are eight pieces. Pig intestines are the cheapest, costing six cents a pound...
"Oh, aren't these Fat Ya and Tang Yazi? Are you weighing pork? Come to Uncle Chen, the meat here is the best!"
There were two butcher tables in front of them, and a middle-aged man who had put on weight shouted in this direction.
Yang Ruoqing looked up and saw that the middle-aged man looked unfamiliar, as if he had never seen him before.
But the facial features, especially the hippopotamus mouth, looked so familiar, as if they had seen it before somewhere!
"That's Chen Goudan, Chen Hu and Chen Xiong's father, Chen the butcher in our village."
When Yang Ruoqing was stunned, Luo Fengtang came closer and reminded her in her ear.
Yang Ruoqing suddenly realized.
No wonder the hippopotamus' mouth looks so familiar, it turns out to be Chen Goudan and the others' father!
It is the fault of a son not to teach his father, but with the virtues of three sons, being a father is not much better!
Yang Ruoqing decided to ignore it, turned around and walked back.
Butcher Chen had already walked out from behind the butcher case and came to Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang.
"Fat Ya, Tang Yazi, if you want to buy meat, just take care of Uncle Chen's business. We are all from the same village. Uncle Chen will definitely give you the best meat at a cheaper price!"
While Butcher Chen was saying these words, behind the other butcher cases on both sides, other butchers were also trying their best to recruit Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang.
If it were someone else from the same village selling pork here, Yang Ruoqing might actually go over and take care of the business.
Doesn’t it cost the same money to buy meat wherever you go? If you buy meat from someone from the same village, it’s still a favor, right?
However, when the other party was Butcher Chen, Yang Ruoqing was not happy.
Not to mention that the Chen Goudan brothers bullied their former owner and younger brother Daan several times.
Yang Ruoqing would not take care of his family's business even if she threw broken bowl pieces into her field at the people who came to their house last time and hurt Grandpa Ga's foot.
However, Yang Ruoqing still flashed her eyes and asked Butcher Chen with a smile.
"Then how much cheaper can you give us?" Yang Ruoqing asked with a smile while avoiding Butcher Chen who reached out to grab her hand.
Butcher Chen was stunned for a moment, glanced around, and said in a low voice: "We are from the same village, and Uncle Chen will not trick anyone! Pork belly is fifteen cents a pound, and ribs are twenty cents. I will give you two more." Two pig livers, go home and make soup for your dad, it will be nourishing for his leg bones..."
Yang Ruoqing twitched the corner of her mouth, yes, half a penny is not cheap, and the ribs are two pence more expensive!
She turned and looked at Luo Fengtang, with the same sarcasm in their eyes.
"Uncle Chen, your pigs are more expensive than their pigs! We are poor and can't afford the expensive meat. You should give this big advantage to others! Tang Yazi, let's go!"
Yang Ruoqing turned around and wanted to leave.
Butcher Chen stretched out his hand again to pull Yang Ruoqing, but Yang Ruoqing turned sideways and hid behind Luo Fengtang.
At the same time, Luo Fengtang took a step forward with tacit understanding.
The tall and strong body stood in front of Butcher Chen like an unshakable mountain.
"Hey, Tangyazi, what are you going to do?" Butcher Chen glared at Luo Fengtang.
Luo Fengtang glanced down at Butcher Chen with a cold expression and said nothing, but the warning in his eyes made Butcher Chen shiver inexplicably!
This kid is so fierce and murderous!
When Butcher Chen came to his senses, he saw Yang Ruoqing already standing in front of a meat case over there.
She was pointing at the pork on the butcher table, and the vendor had already picked up the butcher knife and started cutting the meat...
Butcher Chen was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but every line had its own rules.
If he rushes to bother her again, not only will he not be able to get the business back, but he will also cause trouble.
