Chapter 4 Pork

"Two dollars for ten loops, five dollars for thirty-five loops, whatever you catch is yours, don't miss it if you pass by."

"It looks like there are so many things, including rabbits, ducks, chickens, turtles, goldfish, and many other toys. I like the rabbit toy..." The onlookers exclaimed as they looked at the things in the ring.

It's very lively there. Ten circles cost two yuan. Many people are happy to go and play, and there are a lot of people watching the fun.

Luo Xiao took a look and left.

His bicycle was parked in the bicycle repair shed. The fee for looking after it was 30 cents, and the tire was fixed for free.

Carrying a backpack, he moved among the crowd.

For him, who had not been to the market for a long time, today's market was particularly fresh. Luo Xiao looked at the various stalls with great interest, while paying attention to the specific details and prices of the things he wanted to buy.

Looking at the pork on the chopping board, Luo Xiao swallowed his saliva. This pork was from domestic pig and it looked delicious.

Luo Xiao did not go forward to ask the price, but waited for the lady in front to ask the price. He watched from the side, and when the lady told him the price, he just had to weigh it.

As expected, the other party was an expert at bargaining.

"How much is pork?" The old lady weighed the piece of meat with her hand and looked at it.

"Five dollars, how about you take some home to replenish your energy?" the boss said enthusiastically.

"Five dollars, that's a bit expensive. The meat is very lean and has no fat. How about four dollars?" The old lady directly cut down the price by one dollar.

Luo Xiao looked at her and thought that the old lady was really awesome.

"Four dollars and fifty cents, I just get up early and kill pigs to earn my money through hard work. How about I weigh it higher and give it to you at a better weight?" The boss took a step back.

"Four dollars, I'll weigh two kilograms for four dollars, otherwise I'll go somewhere else." The old lady looked like she was ready to leave.

The boss hesitated for a moment and immediately agreed.

Luo Xiao also stepped forward and followed the price offered by the old lady to buy two kilograms of meat. The boss had a good eye for the price, eight yuan for two kilograms of meat was just right, which surprised him.

After paying the money and putting the meat in the backpack, Luo Xiao was very happy as he could eat the meat later.

The sun was getting stronger now, and Luo Xiao was glad that he was wearing long sleeves, otherwise he would have been sunburned.

In addition to meat, what he wanted to buy most was rice, but rice was relatively heavy, so he planned to buy what he needed and then go and weigh 20 kilograms of rice.

It's not that he doesn't want to weigh more, but at the market, he can't blatantly put the rice into the space. Since it doesn't fit in, buying too much will be too heavy, so he decided to buy some first as an emergency.

Seeing a stall selling fried glutinous rice cakes, the price was 50 cents for three and one dollar for seven, Luo Xiao bought one dollar directly.

This glutinous rice cake is filled with peanut and brown sugar filling and made into a moon shape. It is half the size of an adult's palm. It is made with real ingredients and can fill a child up with just one.

Luo Xiao bought one dollar directly, took out one, put the others in the backpack, and then couldn't wait to eat them.

The fried glutinous rice cake is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The filling is sweet and very filling. When you take a bite, the sugar water mixed with the fragrant peanut crumbs will overflow.

Luo Xiao blew away the heat from the glutinous rice cake while taking another bite of it.

Passersby saw how deliciously he was eating and couldn't help but buy some fried rice cakes.

The lady who sold fried rice cakes was very happy.

After eating a glutinous rice cake, Luo Xiao went to buy some seeds. He felt a little regretful that it was not the first month of the lunar year, otherwise he would have fruit tree seedlings for sale.

But not having it doesn't bother him.

Relying on his memory, Luo Xiao walked to a desolate garbage dump.

Although it is called a garbage dump, it is not a real garbage dump. It is a place where someone dumped garbage since some time ago, and then other people followed suit. After dumping too much garbage, it became a garbage dump.

Sure enough, there were rotten apples and pears, as well as pineapple heads. Luo Xiao used two sticks as chopsticks to pick up the two rotten apples, one rotten pear, and five pineapple heads.

The moment they were put into the backpack, they entered the space steadily.

No one comes here to take out the trash yet, which makes it convenient for him.

After doing all this, Luo Xiao returned to the area where rice was sold and bought 20 kilograms of rice.

Since he didn't bring a bag, he had to pay fifty cents to buy the other person's bag.

Luo Xiao agreed.

Having bought the most important things, he didn't plan to continue shopping. He carried his backpack and went to the bicycle repair shed to ride his bicycle.

On the way back, he was much slower than on the way here, because he was carrying a heavy load and he was not familiar with pedaling the bike along the way. Also, due to the weight of the backpack, he did not pedal very fast.

His good eyesight allowed him to clearly see every tree and blade of grass along the way, and Luo Xiao was in a very good mood.

It’s great that his eyes are still intact.
