Su Qingluan hurriedly thanked Liu Yunniang, checked whether the window was closed, locked the door of her study, and turned around to rush to the market where vegetables, fruits and meat were sold.

In fact, judging from the time now, it is estimated that it is time for the market to close - and generally, the stalls selling food or vegetables, fruits and meat will close even earlier.

The reason is simple. If you are selling small items that are often used, such as wooden combs and bronze mirrors for dressing, or clothes and jewelry, many of these vendors live in the town and are not in a hurry.

After all, there is a long time from the first closing drum to the last one.

However, most of those who sell these fruits, vegetables or meat are vegetable and fruit farmers from Huaxi Village or other nearby villages, or butchers who raise and slaughter meat.

If such vendors don’t pack up their things quickly and leave in time, they will have to wait until the town gates are closed and night watchmen are patrolling everywhere.

If you are caught by the night patrol officers with a bunch of unsold goods, they can treat these people as "performance", but the ones who are caught will be in trouble.

Having the food confiscated is the least severe punishment. If you are accused of having "ulterior motives", beaten or even hacked to death in the street, sometimes you will have no place to seek justice.

The reason is simple. If you are still wandering the streets when you should go home, it means that you are a "homeless idler in society" and a suspicious person, who can be beaten or killed at any time.

In this era, no one tells you that "everyone is equal before the law" and no one emphasizes that "the law must emphasize procedural justice."

Especially in a small county like Lefeng County, where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, although the "people are tough" as exaggerated as Liangzhou City in the north, the law enforcement is not very strict, especially among the soldiers below.

Even though the magistrate of Lefeng County was relatively fair and honest, as the saying goes, "It is easier to deal with the King of Hell than with the devils", the lower the class, the more loopholes there were in law enforcement.

Therefore, Su Qingluan almost wished she could grow Nezha's wind-fire wheels on her feet, or have the ability to teleport to the place where the food is sold in an instant.

Su Qingluan hurried over, watching everyone busy packing up their stalls, but even so, they kept shouting out their wares -

"Freshly picked celery, selling for a bargain. Take it if you like it! I'll sell it to you for the money!"

"Come and take a look at the spinach I have here. If you don't buy some today, you'll end up with a huge loss. I'm selling them at a huge discount!"

"30% off, only 30% off! You won't be cheated or fooled!"

“…”

Su Qingluan listened to some particularly familiar hawking routines and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. When Su Qingluan first crossed over to this world, she was shouting completely according to the e-commerce terms from her previous life.

At that time, Su Qingluan did not realize that her shouting was "unique". The words were those that no one else had ever heard of. Although the meanings expressed were similar, the same meaning was expressed in different words, which gave people a different feeling of freshness.

Especially those e-commerce companies in her previous life, who always used all kinds of exaggerated rhetoric, offering a discount today and a blood-soaked sale tomorrow. Su Qingluan had heard it so many times that she was used to it and naturally thought it was nothing.

However, people of this era have never heard of things being sold in such a "scary" way. Today they vomit blood, tomorrow they jump off a building, and the day after tomorrow they die. It seems like every day is a murder scene, which makes people shudder.

But after understanding the specific meaning of these words, these people felt that these words sounded fresh and interesting. At that time, people had very few entertainment activities, so some people simply listened to Su Qingluan's shouting as storytelling, and occasionally bought some food as a pastime to pass the time.

After a while, the surrounding vendors saw that this "unique" slogan was very effective in attracting customers, so they naturally followed suit and exaggerated their words. Everyone was competing to shout out new and fresh slogans, which was quite lively.

Everyone was learning enthusiastically. The people in the Su family were very unconvinced at first, but Su Qingluan herself felt so embarrassed that her toes were tapping the ground when she listened to it - there was always a feeling that dirty modern people had polluted the simple language system of ancient people.

Even now, when Su Qingluan hears so many people on the street talking about "bargain prices" and "bloody sales" all the time, she feels so embarrassed that her toes tap their toes.

But no matter how embarrassing it is, you still have to buy what you need.

Although shopping at this time seems like a war and requires you to hurry and seize the time, it is not completely without benefits - that is, everyone is rushing to go home, and many ingredients cannot be stored until the next day, especially now that it is summer, and the taste and condition of the food may not be the same after the next day.

It is precisely because of this that there are even quite a number of thrifty housewives who specifically choose this time to buy things - it turns out that no matter how time and space rotate, some "wisdom of life" is still universal.

Su Qingluan estimated that Yang must have already returned with her sister. After all, she and her mother had agreed that whoever finished work would go to pick up Su Xueyan early. However, just in case, she still went to Nong Moxuan.

Sure enough, the door was closed, and it was obvious that Nong Moxuan was closed.

So Su Qingluan carried the things she bought and walked home.

But this time she was very foresighted and did not buy ingredients for the main course, but instead bought some offal, intending to make a side dish for her father to accompany his wine. Because she estimated that by the time she got home, Yang would have almost finished cooking the main course.
