Luo Yiyi tightly grasped Gu Sihan's strong and powerful arm and hurried into the black market.
However, when they actually stepped into this area, Luo Yiyi felt an indescribable disappointment in his heart.
This is clearly an ordinary small market like those in later generations!
What's more, this place is not even as lively as those small markets.
Everyone was quietly guarding their stall, as if afraid that any noise would cause trouble.
Even if someone came forward to inquire about the goods, the stall owners would only carefully lift a corner of the basket to let the customers take a look.
If it happens to be the item the other party needs, then the deal can be concluded;
On the contrary, if the requirements are not met, customers will turn around and leave without hesitation.
Luo Yiyi browsed around the stalls curiously, but after looking at several stalls, she still couldn't find what she liked.
The yellow flour looked of extremely poor quality, and the rice mixed with a lot of sand was even more intimidating to her.
She had no desire to buy such food.
Just when Luo Yiyi was feeling a little depressed, she suddenly saw a basket of fresh eggs on an old lady's stall.
In an instant, her eyes lit up.
For Wu Mengyue, who is pregnant, eggs are undoubtedly one of the most nutritious foods.
Thinking of this, Luo Yiyi hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Auntie, how much are you selling these eggs for?"
The woman wrapped herself up tightly, with only her eyes showing. She even spoke in a low voice: "Five cents each!"
After hearing the price, Luo Yiyi replied without hesitation: "Okay, I want all these eggs!"
The old lady widened her eyes and looked at the girl in front of her with disbelief, as if she suspected that she was hallucinating, so much so that she even forgot to control her voice which she had deliberately lowered when she spoke.
"Girl, what did you say?
Did you just say you wanted all these eggs?" the old lady asked, her words full of disbelief.
Luo Yiyi smiled and nodded, then replied in a clear and firm voice, "Yes, Auntie, I want all your eggs!"
Upon hearing this reply, the old lady's face instantly broke into an ecstatic smile, and she almost jumped up with excitement.
She said excitedly: "Oh my, that's great!
Okay, okay, little girl, let me tell you, I have 50 eggs here in total, and I'll charge you 2.5 yuan in total.
But if you're worried, I can check them one by one for you."
As she spoke, the old lady couldn't wait to start counting the eggs.
Luo Yiyi just took a quick glance at the basket of eggs and estimated in his mind that the number should not be much wrong.
But to be on the safe side, she decided to look at the old lady carefully and count again in front of her.
The old lady skillfully took the eggs out of the basket and counted them silently: "1, 2, 3... 48, 49, 50!"
Just as the old lady said, there were exactly 50, no more, no less.
Luo Yiyi nodded in satisfaction, then took out two one-yuan notes and five ten-cent notes from his pocket, handed them to the old lady, and said, "Auntie, here, this is two dollars and fifty cents!"
After taking the money, the old lady smiled from ear to ear and quickly put the money carefully into her pocket, as if she was afraid of losing it accidentally.
Then, she handed the basket full of eggs to Luo Yiyi and said with concern: "Girl, you have to handle these eggs with care, don't break them!"
In this way, the two completed this simple but pleasant transaction.
Luo Yiyi pulled Gu Sihan away with a basket full of eggs.
The old lady stood there, watching her back as she walked away, her heart filled with joy and gratitude.
"With this money, I can buy some more cold medicine for the old man."
Luo Yiyi bought the second item without hesitation - half a pig's leg, which also included ribs.
The young man selling pork even suspected that he was having an absurd dream.
After all, he had only been at the stall for a few minutes!
Are they all sold out?
Before this, it would be difficult to sell half a pork leg without spending a whole day.
"Comrade, are you sure you understand?
I don’t accept invoices for pork here, I only accept cash!
One yuan per jin, and this half pig weighs 55 jin, so the total cost is 55 yuan."
As the young man spoke, he stared at Luo Yiyi with an expression of disbelief.
However, Luo Yiyi didn't even frown. She quickly took out fifty-five yuan and handed it to the young man, and asked simply, "Any other questions?"
Faced with such a generous customer, the young man couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise, as if it could fit an egg.
He sighed inwardly, he had been selling pork for two years, but this was the first time he had seen someone so wealthy and generous in buying pork!
At this moment, Gu Sihan, who had been standing silently by the side, quickly walked forward and nimbly picked up the heavy half of pork in his hand.
Then, he put his tall body in front of Luo Yiyi, just blocking the young man's curious gaze.
Afterwards, Gu Sihan gestured to Luo Yiyi and asked her to leave first.
Seeing Luo Yiyi turning around and preparing to leave, the young man suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly shouted, "Lady, please wait a moment!
