In cities of this era, residents generally go to bed early.
Since everyone has no TV or radio at home, apart from working hard to create humans, there is no other entertainment activity for everyone.
In this era where there are no noisy cars, motorcycles, and bicycles, and there are only community loudspeaker broadcasts that will play for an hour and a half regularly, it is really quiet at night.
Except for the children playing under the street lamps, the streets were empty and completely devoid of the hustle and bustle of later generations.
After Luo Xuan washed his feet, he went to bed early.
I don't know how long I slept for, but I heard "tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk...tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk" of the door, and there was another rhythmic knock on the door.
Luo Xuan was awakened by the sound in his sleep. He opened the quilt and yelled impatiently, "You have no business here, stop making noise! I'm asleep!"
The knocking on the door stopped immediately.
Hearing the footsteps outside the door walking away, Luo Xuan turned on the light, got up and went to the door of the room to check the situation carefully.
The latch on the door was still intact, but someone had inserted a note into the crack under the door.
Picking up the note, Luo Xuan carefully read the words on the note under the dim light.
I saw it read: [If you have goods and want to sell them, wait for me at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning in Carrot Alley, under the fifth streetlight.]
There is no signature underneath this note, which makes it a bit confusing.
But based on the analysis of what he asked the hotel owner about today, Luo Xuan guessed that this note was most likely sent by Quan Moazi!
After carefully checking the doors and windows again, Luo Xuan returned to bed and continued to sleep soundly.
Wait until the early morning of the next day.
Before dawn, Luo Xuan got up, took out the angler fish from the space, and put them into bamboo baskets and tubes.
Then he picked up two bamboo tubes and walked towards the Qingxi River Bridge.
I just walked out of the alley of the hotel.
Luo Xuan saw two people wearing blue clothes and red armbands standing under the street lamp, smoking and chatting idlely.
Since the other party had seen him, Luo Xuan did not dodge, but calmly picked up the burden and walked towards him.
"stop."
One of the patrol team members stretched out his hand towards Luo Xuanyi and asked, "Going out so early? What do you do?"
Luo Xuan patted the burden on his shoulders: "Go to the river and release the fry."
"Release the fry?"
The two patrol members were stunned!
Then he stepped forward and untied the straw rope, pulled off the banana leaves from the bamboo tube, and peered into the bamboo tube.
At this time, the street lights have a little more voltage, so they are brighter than at night, but the light is still very weak.
These two patrol members were not issued flashlights either.
So they could only vaguely see that there were indeed some small fish swimming inside the bamboo tube.
But I can't see clearly either.
One of the patrol members even fished out an angler fish, caught it in his hand and observed it carefully.
Looking left and right, he couldn't see anything.
But when he saw that the fish was indeed very small, he turned to his companion and said, "Is this kid really going to release the fry?"
Luo Xuan went out early in the morning with small fish. According to the general guess of the two patrol members: Luo Xuan was going to sell fish in the market by the river!
As for what Luo Xuan said about "releasing animals", this kind of thing actually happens.
After all, some Buddhist families secretly go to the river to release animals to pray for their families.
When they saw the small fish in the bamboo tube, which really didn't look like they could be sold for money, the two of them believed most of Luo Xuan's words.
Since there is nothing wrong with the goods.
So one of the patrol team members raised his head and said to Luo Xuan: "Which street are you from?"
Luo Xuan replied: "I'm from Hongxing Township."
The patrol team member asked again: "Then do you have a travel certificate?"
Luo Xuan reached out, took out the certificate from his pocket and handed it over.
The patrol team member looked at the street light, carefully read the contents on the certificate, and then handed the certificate back to Luo Xuan, "It's okay, you can go."
Luo Xuan smiled at the two patrol members, then picked up the burden and left.
The trading market in the county is different from the frog market in Hongxing Township. It is relatively fixed and opens every morning.
Carrying the burden, Luo Xuan climbed up the embankment of Qingxi River.
In the protective forest beside the river, there are many locust trees, pine trees and other trees, mixed with many green plants such as evergreen, peach, gardenia and so on.
With the cover of these small bushes as high as one person, it is very convenient for buyers and sellers who come to the market to conduct transactions to hide their figures.
If you encounter a patrol team and come to arrest someone, these bushes will also make it easier for everyone to escape.
only,
The patrol team generally won't come to do this unless the market has gone too far.
Otherwise, the inspection team would not come to knock on everyone's convenience door.
There are tens of thousands of people in the county, and the market size here is not comparable to that of Hongxing Township.
In this market with many passages, many places are very remote and almost no one passes by.
Luo Xuan deliberately chose a remote place, and next to a small bush, he put down the burden on his shoulders.
When there was no one around, Luo Xuan stepped into the space, used the sacks that had been placed in the space before, and filled two sacks of sweet potatoes out.
Anyway, at the county's trading market, there were people from more than 20 towns and villages. Everyone came from a variety of backgrounds and no one knew anyone.
If this were placed at the frog market in Hongxing Township, I would never dare to sell the sweet potatoes...
There are many units and industrial and mining enterprises in the county.
There are also many people who come to purchase various supplies.
There are various kinds of supplies on the market, and their sources are relatively mixed, so Luo Xuan dared to take out the sweet potatoes and try them.
Although it is not the season to dig sweet potatoes now, there is no telling which mountain has sweet potatoes that are well stored or dug early.
So Luo Xuan wanted to try it and see if he could sell some sweet potatoes.
Place the sweet potatoes two or three meters away from you, and then guard the two bamboo tubes, concentrating on waiting for customers to come and buy your own angler fish.
The reason why the sweet potatoes were placed further away was to prevent Liu Fugui from suddenly jumping out and finding him.
If this happens, Luo Xuan can pretend that those sweet potatoes are not his own.
Not long after he squatted beside the bamboo tube, a figure walked up to Luo Xuan and whispered: "Torch, two cents."
turn out to be,
It was pitch dark in the woods, and everyone who came to sell things needed to buy a torch from the "alternative managers" in the market.
If not.
Anyone who sells things will be kicked out of the market by these 'managers' and will not be allowed to enter and trade.
Luo Xuan took out two cents and handed it to the other party.
After collecting the money, the other party took out a bamboo pole from a big bag and lit it with a match.
It turned out to be a bamboo pole soaked in diesel.
This is a much better lighting effect than the bamboo torch I used when catching eels.
With the weak illumination of the bamboo torch, those who came to buy things knew that there were stalls selling goods here, and they could see clearly what was being sold here.
Luo Xuan first stuck the torch next to the sack containing sweet potatoes, and then hid next to the bamboo tube a few meters away.
Thus.
If Liu Fugui suddenly came to find him, Luo Xuan could use the excuse that he didn't understand the rules here and didn't buy a torch.
When the time comes, Liu Fugui will naturally find someone to buy torches so that the two of them can sell Pipa fish.
Luo Xuan just stuck the torch next to the sweet potato.
Soon.
A man and a woman came forward and looked at the sweet potatoes in the sack with the help of the weak light from the torch.
Only the woman among them could be heard exclaiming in a low voice: "Huh? Section Chief Zhao, come and see! Why are there sweet potatoes now? And why are these sweet potatoes so big?"
The man, Section Chief Zhao, stepped forward and picked up a sweet potato weighing 5 or 6 kilograms, and looked at it carefully.
Then he asked, "Whose is this?"
Luo Xuan looked carefully to the left and right, but did not see Liu Fugui.
So he quickly stepped forward and said, "This is mine. Leader, don't underestimate this sweet potato. This is no ordinary sweet potato!"
It is said that this is a new variety just introduced from Algeria, called 'Fruit Sweet Potato'. It is very sweet and can be eaten as fruit."
Section Chief Zhao pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked Luo Xuan up and down.
He smiled and said: "I don't know which country you are from, little guy! Just brag, there are sweet potatoes in Algeria?"
Luo Xuan chuckled.
He reached out and pulled out a kitchen knife, chopped off a little bit of the sweet potato, then handed it to Section Chief Zhao and said with a smile: "Your leadership level is still high, I don't understand this either. It's just that this sweet potato is particularly sweet. This is true."
Yes, if you don’t believe me, try it?”
When Section Chief Zhao heard this, he did not reach out to take the piece of sweet potato handed over by Luo Xuan.
Instead, he nodded towards the young girl next to him and motioned for her to do it for him.
The young girl took the sweet potato and put it in her mouth.
Then, her eyes opened!
Nodding like a chicken pecking at rice, he said, "Chief Zhao, this sweet potato is indeed very sweet! It's even sweeter than loquat!"
Looking at the exaggerated expression on the girl's face, Section Chief Zhao looked confused: What about it?
Isn't it just a sweet potato? Is it that exaggerated?
