Everyone spreads a piece of cloth or a sack on the ground and spreads out the things they sell.
Song Xi walked slowly and looked around. There were sellers of bamboo products, such as bamboo cups, bamboo bowls, baskets, and fish baskets.
Someone in Ping'an Village can make these, so Song Xi doesn't plan to buy them outside.
I also met someone selling fruit, but there weren’t many varieties.
And the appearance is not good either. They should only have one or two fruit trees planted at home.
After all, there is no large-scale planting of fruit trees these days. In the past, due to food shortages, many fruit trees were cut down and replaced by crops.
So it is very difficult to buy good fruits outside these days.
Although the fruit doesn’t look good, it’s still okay to buy it and entertain guests.
So Song Xi rounded up the kiwis on the stall. The kiwis were small, similar to modern wild kiwis.
One cent per catty, thirty catties in total.
When Song Xi bought it and put it in her backpack, she took the opportunity to store it in the supermarket. Otherwise, she would not be able to put the items in for a while.
Song Xi also rounded up the apple, orange, and winter jujube stalls.
I bought thirty kilograms of apples, twenty-five kilograms of oranges, and forty kilograms of winter dates.
It cost twelve and a half yuan, which can be said to be a very good deal.
Song Xi also saw a stall selling whole grains, but she didn't plan to buy it now.
Because whole grains were too heavy, she couldn't use the supermarket cheat.
So I can only look at light things first, and finally look at coarse grains.
Although there are whole grains at home, who cares if there is too much grain?
What's more, she is still secretly raising a hemp duck and eight little shelducks, which consumes a lot of coarse grains.
"Little girl, do you want to take a look at what I have here?" When Song Xi passed an empty stall, she still felt strange. Could it be that this aunt was holding a seat for others?
But it’s almost noon, why haven’t the people setting up the stalls come yet?
As a result, the aunt sitting there called out to her.
Only then did Song Xi notice that the aunt was holding a bamboo basket similar to a fish basket in her hand.
But it was covered with a rag, and the rag was tied with straw, which looked a bit like wine sealed in a jar.
"Auntie, what are you packing here? It's so mysterious." Song Xi asked curiously.
The aunt also saw that the girl in front of her was well-dressed and felt that this girl seemed to be someone who could afford it, so she tried to call her.
The aunt lifted a small piece of the sealing cloth and let Song Xi see it. After Song Xi read it, she was a little surprised and asked, "Is it a pigeon?"
"No, they are mountain doves. They are not a good thing. They fight farmers all day long to eat crops, so when we met them, my family caught them and wanted to exchange them for some money to support the family." The aunt was a little embarrassed.
said.
It would be great if it were a pigeon. Pigeons are plump and can probably be sold for a good price.
But the mountain dove is different, it is small and does not have much meat.
"Auntie, I'm quite interested in these mountain doves. If the price offered by auntie is moderate, then I'll take them all. How about that?"
Song Xi didn't know what to say about the turtle dove. It had both advantages and disadvantages.
Because it eats not only insects, but also rice and wheat.
If the quantity is too large, it will cause a reduction in food production.
That’s why, like sparrows, it has become the most hated thing by farmers.
"Little girl, I won't ask you for a price. How about 40 cents each, or 2 yuan for five? There are also female ones here, and it would be good to keep them for laying eggs. Roast the eggs over a fire, and the smell...
"The aunt was talking to herself, almost drooling.
In the past, her children liked to go to the tree to take out bird eggs and roast them to eat. As a mother, she would not compete with her children for the food, and she would just drool while smelling the fragrance.
"Okay, but can you sell this basket to me? Otherwise, it won't be easy to put the basket on my back. If I let them fly, wouldn't I suffer a big loss?"
Selling a mountain dove for 40 cents is actually quite expensive. After all, 40 cents can buy a lot of bones.
However, it is not easy to catch these mountain doves and still keep them alive.
Besides, what Song Xi values is the ability to reproduce and create wealth, not the desire for food and drink.
She wouldn't eat these things herself.
The aunt sold the basket to Song Xi for five cents. Song Xi's basket was big enough to hold the basket.
When Song Xi put the basket into the basket on her back, she put it directly into the supermarket.
If you enter the supermarket alive, you will not die, but will remain as motionless as if you were dormant.
After taking it out, it was jumping around like it was before.
Song Xi continued to walk forward when she suddenly heard someone calling her. She followed the source of the sound and saw Xu Yunying waving to her.
Song Xi walked over quickly, a little worried, "Aunt Yunying, what's wrong?"
"Xiao Xi, look."
Song Xi looked in the direction of Xu Yunying's finger and saw a stall selling meat.
There were about ten people standing in line, and Song Xi was a little puzzled, "Isn't it said that meat is difficult to buy? How can anyone sell meat here?"
"It should be the stall set up by the Meat Factory here! The low-grade meat that city people don't like to buy is a waste if it is not sold. Let's go over and have a look. If we can't buy meat, it's good to buy some bones to stew in soup."
Song Xi was really curious about the so-called inferior meat, so she followed Xu Yunying and walked there.
After that, she queued up at the back and soon reached them. Only then did Song Xi know what inferior meat was.
It turned out to be pig heads, bones, trotters and offal. Unexpectedly, things that are so delicious in modern times are actually low-grade meat here.
Maybe it’s because there are no good seasonings in this era, so the food doesn’t taste good, so people don’t like to eat these things, right?
Song Xi asked about the price, and then she just wanted to say "Goodbye". For her, it was really unreasonably cheap.
Pig's trotters cost 30 cents per pound, and a whole big pig's trotters may cost less than a dollar.
Tongzi bones and pork ribs are a dime a pound.
The offal ones are even cheaper, only five cents a pound.
Zhou Xiaohua smelled the greasy smell of pork in the air and couldn't help but swallowed, "Brother, let's buy some too!"
"Okay, buy some." Zhou Xiaoshu asked for two pounds of pork liver, two pounds of pig blood, and five pounds of pork bones without hesitation. The total cost was only 70 cents.
Seeing the things put into the backpack, Zhou Xiaohua smiled with relief.
Since she had just received five yuan, Xu Yunying did not hesitate to buy a large pig's trotter, two pounds of ribs, two pig stomachs and two sets of pig hearts and lungs.
I plan to go home and let my three children take good care of themselves.
The Zhou family had treated her three children too badly. Now that she was rid of the Zhou family, she just wanted to make good compensation to her three children.
The bones here have been scraped to the point of leaving no meat, so they can only be stewed in soup.
So Song Xi didn't buy too much. She bought ten kilograms of pork ribs and pork ribs each, five sets of pig heart and lungs, ten pig's trotters, five pieces of pork liver, five pieces of smooth and tender pig blood, and twenty pieces of pig intestines.
catty.
Song Xi especially likes to eat Sichuan-style dry-fried pork sausage. When the time comes, she will ask Zhou Yi to help her clean it, and she will be responsible for doing it.
