Chapter 25, Entering the capital for the first time.

When Luo Jinping heard the sound, he stopped and looked back in confusion.

Seeing Yang Xiaole running over, he stopped and waited.

When he came closer, he asked strangely: "What's wrong? Do you have something to do with me?"

Yang Xiaole just said 'hmm' and didn't answer him. Instead, he turned to Yang Guangzhi and shouted: "Dad, Teacher Luo is here! Don't worry."

Seeing that Yang Guangzhi stopped and didn't come over, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that it is better to go to school as soon as possible.

Find opportunities to take a stroll.

Then he said to Luo Jinping: "Let's go, Teacher Luo, I have something to tell you."

Luo Jinping didn't suspect anything.

Nodding, the two of them walked towards the dim street.

While walking, Yang Xiaole said nonsense:

"Teacher Luo, actually I came to see you about my sister's schooling. My father doesn't want my sister to go to school, but I want her to go to school."

Luo Jin nodded in approval, "Well, going to school is a good thing. Only by going to school can you learn knowledge, acquire skills, and at the same time enrich your spirit and gain spiritual enjoyment."

Then he sighed: "But the current situation is like this. There is no way. Whether you can go to school still depends on your family situation. If it is beyond your ability, there is no need to force it. It may not be beneficial to force it."

Yang Xiaole nodded when he saw this, looked back and saw that he could no longer see his father.

Then he smiled and said: "Okay, I'll go back first. Teacher Luo, you can go home. But next time if my father or mother asks about it, you can also help me talk so that my sister can go to school."

Luo Jinping smiled and agreed: "Okay, I know, you can go back!"

"Okay, Teacher Luo, I'm leaving first!"

After that, he said hello and trotted towards the back.

Looking at Yang Xiaole's leaving figure, Luo Jinping shook his head. There shouldn't be any trouble on such a short journey.

And there are many cars going to the vegetable market along this road.

He didn't think too much and turned around and left.

Yang Xiaole walked for a while, then stepped into the darkness and stopped moving.

There are very few street lights, so you have to be far away to see people, and you can only vaguely see their shadows.

Looking both ways, after waiting for a few minutes, he felt relieved when he saw that Luo Jinping had gone away and Yang Guangzhi did not follow him.

"Damn, the mosquito bit me to death."

After driving away the mosquitoes from his body, he looked at the vegetable farmer coming over and followed him forward with a smile.

I don’t know the road, but Luo Jinping just said that these people are going to Xidan Vegetable Market.

While walking on the road, he was also looking at this place curiously.

The road surface is still a brick road, and there are quite a lot of shops on both sides of the street, including all kinds of shops.

There are two-story old wooden restaurants, courtyard alleys, and some newly built cement brick houses.

A small number of tall office buildings.

Occasionally, I also see some family buildings.

"Uncle, you guys got up so early!"

Looking at the pole team next to him, he smiled and said hello to a man in his fifties.

The opponent just stopped to switch shoulders.

The man picked up the towel around his neck and wiped his sweat, then picked up the sheet and followed.

At this time, he smiled and said: "Yeah, there is no way, we have to deliver the food in a hurry, and we can't delay the time of people in the city buying food!"

Yang Xiaole nodded lightly and looked at the vegetables in the basket.

A basket of eggplants and a basket of green peppers were stuffed to the brim and several floors were added.

The two of them walked and chatted.

Yang Xiaole also found out the specific location of the pigeon market.

It's in the second alley east of the entrance to Xidan Caishi Market.

However, from time to time there will be people getting up early in the morning to sweep the place. Of course, people are not there every day, after all, people still have to sleep.

Whoever gets caught one day will be in trouble.

And there is also a situation of turning a blind eye.

Otherwise, if the higher-ups really want to put an end to it, they will never be able to do so on a large scale.

The journey didn't sound very far, only six or seven miles, a little over 3 kilometers, and it took a full fifty minutes to get there.

This is why he hurriedly and slowly kept up with the pace of the old men.

But he was exhausted.

It was already past four o'clock at this time, and it would be dawn in more than an hour.

A huge facade of the vegetable market, a large iron door, was now open.

There were already a sporadic old ladies carrying bamboo baskets coming in to buy things, while the people delivering food went around from the side instead of going through the main entrance.

Yang Xiaole didn't care, but followed the old man's words and walked towards the south.

When we arrived at the second alley, which was more than a hundred meters away, there was someone standing at the door. He looked about fourteen or fifteen years old.

His eyes rolled around.

Seeing him coming over, I just took a look and didn't care anymore.

Yang Xiaole stretched out his head and took a look. In the dark alley, many people were communicating in low voices.

Basically, there is a cover on the face, making it difficult to see clearly.

"What are you looking at? Just go in. If you don't go in, just walk away. Don't be so eye-catching. People will be attracted in a while."

The young man looked at him and couldn't see through it, so he shouted in dissatisfaction.

Yang Xiaole glanced at the other party.

After thinking about it, I walked in anyway.

The alleys are quite long, probably more than 300 meters long, with many small alleys scattered in the middle.

Many people are wandering here.

But his eyes were full of vigilance, and he would look in the direction of the alley entrance from time to time, and run away immediately if something changed.

After Yang Xiaole walked in, he took a curious look.

Some sell eggs, some sell chickens, ducks, and fish, some sell peanuts and melon seeds grown on private plots, and some sell grain.

There are also some people who have nothing in their hands and come around to ask when they see people.

Yang Xiaole said nothing and quietly watched these people trading.

After ten minutes, he also figured out the general situation here.

Chickens, fish, and ducks are free of charge and can be bought in the wet market, but the quantity on the market is limited every day, so whoever wakes up early can grab them.

If it's too late, it won't be there anymore.

However, a certain amount of supply will be provided to the whole city during the Chinese New Year, so there is no need to grab it.

He had already learned about this situation through Luo Jinping.

The prices of these things are much lower than the market price.

The price of carp over one pound is 2.8 cents per catty, and the price of crucian carp over half a catty is 1.4 cents per catty.

The market price is more expensive than this.

Hearing this price, Yang Xiaole wanted to scold her.

The prices purchased by rural supply and marketing cooperatives are too low!

As for eggs, which are in short supply and have limited quantities, the price is much higher than the market price.

6 cents each.

According to the price of 6 cents per pound mentioned by Luo Jinping before, this price is at least 20 to 30% higher.

But it's still acceptable.

Because these eggs must have been picked, and although they are only two-thirds the size of later generations, they are already relatively large in this era.
