After receiving 710 yuan in payment from Xu Meijuan, Chen Wang left the purchasing station first.

Comrade Xiao Xu will be busy for a while. She will go to see her father at noon, and then they will go to the market together.

The market was extremely lively, with crowds of people. Many people came to buy New Year's goods, while quite a few vendors also came to earn some money for the New Year.

The two of them have set up the stall to sell goods many times this month. As long as they come early and the spot is not occupied, they basically stay in the same spot, which is also convenient for old customers to buy things.

From a distance, Chen Wang saw that the stall was crowded with people and Chen Dazhuang was busy.

When I got closer, I found that a lot of fish and meat had already been sold.

The New Year is coming soon, and people who come to the market are more willing to spend money than usual.

Especially those who have made money outside and come back, they are more generous than each other.

Chen Wang quickly pushed through the crowd and squeezed in to help.

"Brother Zhuang, why is business so good today?"

"That's right. Half of them have been sold. There's definitely not enough left."

"That's all I can do. As usual, I'll collect the money and make the change, and you'll prepare the goods."

"Okay!"

…

In less than an hour, everything on the stall was sold out.

There are still many customers who didn’t buy it.

"Boss, please get some more goods. So many people haven't bought any!"

"That's right, I've been waiting for half an hour and now you're telling me it's out of stock?"

"Boss, go back and get the goods."

“…”

"Sorry, sorry. We caught the fish ourselves and hunted the game in the mountains. We only have this much. We really don't have any more. Please come earlier next time."

Chen Wang apologized with a wry smile.

The customers were obviously not satisfied, but they had no choice but to leave and look for other stalls.

“There are so many people!”

Chen Dazhuang wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Let's calculate how much I got. I have the money from selling the leather and the 15 dollars from yesterday, so the total is 725."

"The leopard skin was not sold?"

"Well, the purchasing station won't accept it, but Comrade Xiao Xu agreed to bring her father over later. Her father should have a way."

“That’s great.”

Chen Dazhuang grinned.

Then, the two began to count the money from the sales.

The total amount I received was 368.8 yuan.

The total weight of the fish we collected from Old Man Lu in the morning was 158 kilograms.

Based on the selling price of one piece per pound, the total amount is 158 yuan, which is split 50-50 between Chen Wang and Old Man Lu.

The other 210.8 yuan, plus the 725 yuan in Chen Wang's hand, is 935.8 yuan, which is 467.9 yuan when divided equally.

Chen Wang didn't ask for change, but only asked for 467 yuan, plus half of the fish fee of 79, which came to 546 yuan.

The 79 that was to be given to Old Man Lu was placed in a separate pocket, and the rest of his own money was hidden in the inner pocket of his coat.

"Come on, get some food. It's my treat."

Chen Dazhuang suggested with a smile on his face.

He made so much money in one go, and the highlight, the leopard skin, was still to come. He was in a very good mood.

"We have to wait for Xiao Xu to come!"

"It's okay, it's still early, let's get something to eat first, then we'll go wait at the market entrance!"

"Alright, let's go!"

After discussing it, the two of them pushed their bicycles and walked around the market looking for food.

Seeing that someone was buying pot pieces, Chen Dazhuang paid for two pork and green onion ones. After roasting them, he brushed them with chili oil, folded them in the middle and ate them in big mouthfuls. They were crispy and delicious.

Continue walking while eating.

Chen Wang weighed some melon seeds and peanuts at a stall, and bought some snacks such as malt sugar, small twisted dough sticks, fried rice candy, sesame candy, cat ears, etc.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there are many stalls selling these things in the market. Most of them are made by the stall owners at home, without any high-tech work. They are delicious and affordable.

These purely handmade snacks almost only exist in Chen Wang’s memory. Before he traveled through time, he didn’t even know where to buy them even if he wanted to eat them.

After finishing the pot pieces, I met a man selling fried sugar cakes.

Chen Wang asked about the price, 50 cents each, and three for one dollar, which was really affordable.

Chen Wang directly asked for the three-yuan ones, gave two to Chen Dazhuang, prepared to eat two himself, and took the remaining five back to his wife and the little girl.

After eating the fried sugar cake, Chen Dazhuang bought a steaming big meat bun from a stall.

Both of them took one in each hand and drank a cup of soy milk after eating.

After walking around, I was so full that I didn’t even need to eat lunch.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Chen Wang was worried that Xiao Xu and her father had taken the wrong path and wouldn't be able to find them, so he went back to the market entrance with Chen Dazhuang.

He parked his bicycle nearby, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and shared them with Chen Dazhuang. The two chatted while eating the seeds.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Comrade Xiao Xu came over with her father's arm around her, talking and laughing.

"Xiao Xu, Director Xu!"

Chen Wang shouted.

The two men looked towards him in the direction of the voice, with smiles on their faces. Comrade Xiao Xu raised his arms high and waved.

"Comrade Xiao Chen, we meet again."

Xu Tiancheng walked up to the two of them and said with a smile.

"Yes, I just bought a lot of food, would you like to have some?"

As Chen Wang spoke, he pretended to take the snacks he had just bought from his bicycle.

“No, no.”

Xu Tiancheng waved his hands repeatedly to refuse.

"Just give me some of the melon seeds in your hand."
