After Shen Yichen heard the story told by Chen Yuanyuan, he didn't know what he was thinking about 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, which makes the two of them want to find out Master Xiangyun's past. If Fan Shuanghu is an old acquaintance of Master Xiangyun, they must be prepared in advance.
"Well, since he used to be a promiscuous person, do you think he knows Fan Shuanghu?" Chen Yuanyuan guessed.
"We can't just rely on that villager. Why don't we inquire about it later? I'm also planning to take you to the market." Shen Yichen has been here several times and knows a lot of islanders, so he can inquire about it later. The love and hatred of Master Xiangyun.
"Hey, is there a market here?" Chen Yuanyuan didn't expect that there would be a market in such a cold weather. She immediately thought of street stalls set up in an open space like a beautiful garden.
"The gymnasium on the island is open every Sunday to set up stalls for islanders, and it is also convenient for outsiders to trade." Shen Yichen explained.
"No wonder there are so many boats at the pier just now. Let's go after lunch." Chen Yuanyuan touched her stomach and felt a little hungry.
"Let's go out to eat now. There will be a lot of local delicacies in the market. We can just bring more supplies." Shen Yichen said.
Now that money has become waste paper, Shen Yichen started to prepare materials that can replace money based on the experience of several visits.
Chen Yuanyuan took out more than a dozen boxes of antipyretics, cold medicines and allergy medicines from the space. She also prepared some common vegetable seeds and a dozen packs of cigarettes.
In addition, grains, polished rice and flour are divided into one-pound bags in plastic bags. Thirty small bags of each type are stored in space for easy replacement of supplies later.
Since the water supply was stopped due to the extreme cold, the most lacking thing on the island surrounded by the sea is pure water. After all, it is okay for adults to drink snow water, but some children with weak stomachs cannot stand the cold snow water with many impurities.
But considering that it would be too high-profile to keep exchanging water for supplies, the two decided not to exchange water for supplies.
After the two were ready, they put on thick winter coats, put on their backpacks, pulled a camping trolley and set off. As they set out, they happened to meet the straw hat fisherman who was taking over the shift with his son.
"Are you going out?" The straw hat fisherman asked politely when he saw the two people carrying large and small bags.
"Yes, we plan to go to the market for a while." Shen Yichen said.
"I'm going to buy groceries too, how about a piece?" the straw hat fisherman pointed to his tricycle.
Although the weather was nice today, it still took twenty minutes to walk there. The two of them were not polite and took a straw hat fisherman's electric tricycle to the market in the stadium.
After arriving at the market, there were already some people shopping around, including local islanders and many tourists.
Unexpectedly, it is quite large. The three-story gymnasium is used for cooked food and semi-finished products on the top floor, while the middle floor is for various types of dry goods, and the bottom floor is for seafood.
It was almost lunch time when the two arrived, so they went to the deli area on the top floor to heal their stomachs first.
There are not many cooked food stalls, only about seven or eight stalls, with five or six public benches in the middle. The stalls mainly sell some seafood noodles and local snacks.
"Auntie, your seafood ramen is very fragrant. How do you sell it?" Chen Yuanyuan walked to a stall and asked.
"Girl, you really know the goods. Ours is fish noodles, which are handmade with fish meat. A bowl of clean noodles costs 50-20 meters. If you add seafood, you'll have to pay extra. If you have any others, you can check them out." The proprietress in an apron was enthusiastic. introduced.
Chen Yuanyuan and Shen Yichen each ordered a portion of fish noodles. After choosing a few favorite seafood, the landlady weighed them in.
Chen Yuanyuan reached into her backpack and took out two small bags of rice. The landlady took out a steel scale and measured it. She found that it was enough and was about to open it and give Chen Yuanyuan "change".
"There's no need to look for it. Just add more seafood to his bowl." Chen Yuanyuan said.
"Okay, okay, can I add a small green dragon for you?" Usually many people also eat bowls of noodles, but today the two young men were quite generous, so the lady boss picked a big small green dragon and handed it to Shen Yi Watch in the morning.
After Shen Yichen agreed, the landlady took the polished rice and started cooking noodles for the two of them.
Seeing that the cooked food section was gradually getting crowded, Shen Yichen took a seat in front of the noodle stall, while Chen Yuanyuan went to other stalls to buy some snacks.
Handmade fish eggs as big as eggs, fried oyster cakes, octopus balls, cold seaweed and various charcoal grilled seafood, Chen Yuanyuan spent three bags of grains in exchange for a lot of delicious food.
Unfortunately, fresh water is too precious on the island. The only stall that sells drinks, Chen Yuanyuan, saw that the owner made it with melted snow water, so she still didn't dare to drink it.
Seeing such crude work, Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but frown. She might as well boil it. It would be 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 apocalypse, there was less technology and hard work, and what they ate was the authentic taste of the food. It was really fun to eat seafood on the coast!
Chen Yuanyuan ate until her stomach was full, so she asked Shen Yichen to get up and take a walk to eat.
The two were in no hurry to leave the top floor. In addition to the cooked food stalls, there were also many uncooked handmade foods for sale.
Chen Yuanyuan bought some fish noodles, Changzhou fish balls, cod fish cakes, cooked octopus legs, etc., and planned to take the taste of Changzhou Island back to Fairview Garden for them to try.
Then we walked to the dry goods area on the middle floor. The dry goods area was similar to what Chen Yuanyuan used to stock in the seafood shop.
But some fish maws were as cheap as cabbage, so Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but spend a few pills to replace a lot of them.
After walking around, the camping cart and Shen Yichen's backpack were already full. When they were about to reach the bottom, they didn't expect to run into an acquaintance.
"Miss Chen, Mr. Shen, are you here too?" Assistant Zhao stepped forward to say hello as soon as he saw Chen Yuanyuan.
"Yeah, come here to buy some seafood. Is Zheng Jiayu here?" Shen Yichen said.
"He's looking at the seafood downstairs. Have you finished buying it?" Assistant Zhao asked when he saw Shen Yichen pulling a cart full of supplies.
"It's almost done. Let's just take a stroll." Chen Yuanyuan said.
"Brother Zhao, I brought you the things you ordered last week!" A stall owner shouted when he saw Assistant Zhao.
"You go ahead and do your work first. Let's go down and look for him." Chen Yuanyuan said when she saw a stall owner calling Assistant Zhao.
"Okay, you guys go down first, and I'll come down when I'm done." After that, Assistant Zhao left.
The two of them worked together to carry the overstuffed camping trolley underground, but when they turned the corner of the stairs, they accidentally dropped a piece of shrimp and rolled it down the stairs.
A boy about seven or eight years old immediately rushed forward to pick it up. Just when Chen Yuanyuan thought he was helping to pick it up, the boy ran away.
"Hey! Give me back my stuff!" Chen Yuanyuan shouted as she and Shen Yichen carried the camping trolley.
