Chapter 889 You Are Still Smart
Of course, I only left one piece of goat skin outside, and then I bought some beef and mutton to put outside. Anyway, they wouldn’t go bad in such cold weather.
I originally wanted to buy more, but I really didn't find the opportunity, and there really weren't that many national meat tickets.
Just as she was thinking about turning back, she heard someone in front of her say, "Today is the 21st. Why don't you go to the market up ahead? It's almost New Year's Day, and there will definitely be villagers slaughtering their own cattle and sheep."
Yesterday, when Chuxue arrived, I heard from our guide Bater that there are regular markets on the first, tenth and twenty-first days of the lunar month. They sell homemade agricultural products from nearby herdsmen, and most of them don't require tickets.
Seeing that it was still early, Chuxue followed.
After walking about two or three miles, they arrived at a fenced field. The things sold there were quite a variety. When she saw that many stalls had tied sheep, she suddenly became excited.
Because she was in a hurry, she quickly bought one large sheep and two small sheep from a herdsman. The sheep were a ewe and two lambs. The herdsman said that someone in his family was sick and he was in urgent need of money, so he was selling them.
Chuxue thought the price was reasonable, so she didn't bargain down.
She asked them to send the sheep to the place she had chosen when they came. After they left, she used her mental power to scan and saw that no one was paying attention, so she quickly put the sheep, one big and two small, into the space. She moved around outside for a while, and since no one noticed her, she continued to go inside and stroll around.
Seeing that there were whole sheep, she bought half and asked someone to cut it up for her. Then she went to the side and bought a backpack to put the sheep in before continuing her shopping.
This backpack made things very convenient for her. She bought a lot of things she liked and then left to go back so that people wouldn't miss her and look for her everywhere.
She walked fast, and it took her more than 20 minutes to get here, but she got back in just over 10 minutes.
As soon as I entered the formal market, I saw Sister Jiang from afar, who was almost at the end of her shopping.
She pretended that she had just finished shopping and saw that Sister Jiang was carrying a lot of things in her hands: "Sister Jiang, you bought a lot."
Sister Jiang heard her voice: "Oh, why haven't I seen you for a long time? I was worried."
Seeing the backpack behind her: "Where did you buy the backpack?"
Chu Xue didn't mention her trip to the market: "I met a fellow villager up ahead and exchanged sugar coupons with him. It's much easier this way. Otherwise it would be inconvenient to carry them in my hands."
Sister Jiang laughed: "You are smart."
But she thought to herself: I really haven't seen any place selling backpacks. If I saw it, I would definitely buy one.
Chu Xue thought, this is a government-run market that mainly sells beef and mutton, so there will definitely be no one selling backpacks.
As the two were talking, they saw Xu Chengkun and Sister Huang coming towards them. It was obvious that they came prepared, and everyone was holding something in their hands.
It seemed that everyone bought basically the same thing, the only difference was the quantity. When everyone had bought almost everything, they strolled back.
Xu Chengkun said, "When we go to get the slaughtered beef and mutton later, we can also ask the herdsmen to exchange some baskets and backpacks for the things we bought, just like we did with Chuxue."
What they didn't expect was that when they arrived, their guide Bater had already prepared these for them: "I asked them to prepare these. They are not worth much. Consider them a gift."
Captain Ma laughed and said, "This is a gift from Bater. Just keep it. Next time we have a purchasing mission, we can ask him to lead the way."
Bartel laughed when he heard this: "That's a good sentiment."
