No matter how tense the situation is, it cannot stop people's enthusiasm for celebrating the New Year.
No matter how much you earn after a hard year, you have to make sure your family has a happy New Year.
There are so many people crowded together in the black market that if you don’t know, you might think it’s a big fair.
I wasn't as stingy as usual when buying things. I had been planning to be more careful, but when I saw the scene before me, I just bought as much as I could!
Didn’t I see only big and small bags, and some ladies even came up and wanted to buy everything.
"Wait a minute, Auntie, can you give me some of this?"
Preserved eggs and salted duck eggs are the famous Baiyangdian specialties. Since I'm here, I have to bring some back.
"I bought this for my daughter. She's away from home and missed the duck eggs. How about you buy them next time?"
The old lady looked at the ginger tea eagerly, and the greedy boy had no choice but to nod. Nothing can compare to being able to taste the taste of home in a foreign country.
She decided not to fight with others for something to relieve her homesickness!
There must be more if you go further inside. Sure enough, the stall selling preserved eggs is quite large, and the prices are a little bit higher than the one we just saw.
One is 5 cents more expensive, two are 1 cent more expensive. Just as I was about to take it, I saw the lady from before run straight to the back of the stall.
Jiang Cha stood up and pretended to be dissatisfied, walking slowly forward, watching the old lady put the eggs in the basket into the basket one by one.
It turns out that her home is not far away, just a few cents away. She is really good at purchasing goods on site.
Walking along the crowd, I saw several slaughtered donkeys hanging on the racks and a few people queuing up there. Not many of them.
He quickly lined up while there were few people, and Jiang Cha pricked up his ears to listen to the conversation of the people in front of him.
"It was still more enjoyable in the past. We'd line up, and they'd slaughter the fish right there. If we took the basin with us, we could even collect some of the blood. That was a really good tonic. The kids at home ate it all winter and didn't catch a cold."
"That's right! The stalls used to slaughter and eat donkeys right before they were cooked. What donkey meat restaurant didn't have donkeys slaughtered right in front of it? Now it's rare to come across one. I'll buy some more later so that the whole family can have some food during the New Year."
"Hey, why don't you take a set of Sister Sun's tonic? Go back and give it to your eldest brother so that he won't complain all the time."
"Go away, you're so frivolous! Look at your little face, your Xiao Li must have done a lot of makeup! How many sets did you buy?"
The two older women in front were chatting too freely. Jiang Cha lowered her head and pretended not to understand. There was nothing she could do; the little girl had to pretend.
Maybe the noise was too loud, the big brother in the front quickly bought two sets of treasures and left without looking back.
Those who were in the front of the line were very quick to buy items, and by the time the two older sisters were gone, there were no more items left.
The two of them bought a few pounds of donkey meat dejectedly. It seemed that the New Year's joy would not be too much, which disappointed them.
When it was her turn, there were still three donkeys left on the stall, and quite a bit of meat left on the chopping board.
"Uncle, if I have a donkey, would you give me a discount so we can settle the bill? I won't have to shave the meat off you, what do you think?"
The butcher knife is ready, so you can go home and shave it yourself. In ancient times, there was a butcher who butchered an ox, and now there is ginger tea that butchers a donkey.
"You want to get your head ripped off? Go play somewhere else, little girl. Don't you fear your parents will spank you? You're so brave to come messing around here."
I was waiting in line just now and heard that the ones in front of me were all paying 0.8 yuan per catty with meat coupons. Without meat coupons, it was 1.5 yuan per catty. A whole donkey, gutted, would have cost at least 200 catties. Jiang Cha paid 300 yuan.
Waving it in front of the stall owner, waiting for him to name the price.
"I'm an educated youth. This money was pooled together by several of us educated youth. We mailed some local specialties home for the New Year, and shared a donkey among everyone. We even had some bones left to make soup."
Buying so much at once is quite conspicuous, so I made up an excuse to make it sound like there were several educated youth sites, with dozens of people involved, so the purchases weren't that much.
"It's not that cheap. I'll give you some offal. The soup made from it is much more delicious than just drinking bone soup."
After a moment's hesitation, he nodded in agreement. The whole donkey couldn't be weighed. The stall owner took a large pole with a large weight hanging on it.
There was a big hook at the other end. Two people carried the pole on their shoulders and hooked the meat. The third person called Jiang Cha to come closer to check and weigh it.
She doesn't even recognize the stars above? Just look at the others, the pole and the meat are balanced. This is definitely the full weight, and it will rise a little bit when you weigh it slowly.
"242 pounds, minus the 240 pounds plus a bunch of viscera for you. You're giving me 360 pounds in total. How are you going to take it away later? Do I need to give it to you?"
After paying the money, I asked the stall owner to help me take me to the exit of the black market. It was clearly crowded with people, but unexpectedly, there were few people at the exit.
There are so many stalls inside, it’s impossible to get out so quickly if you come here so early in the morning.
Put it away quickly while no one is around and walk away from the exit.
I walked for 20 minutes before finding a place to rest. Seeing no one around, I put on a short hair hood and some height-enhancing underwear.
Put on a military coat, cotton gloves, and a scarf, and no one can tell who it was.
I walked back with a big basket and bought a lot of salted duck eggs and preserved eggs from other stalls.
The rest are some interesting-looking things, such as Quyang stone carvings, which are of course small gadgets for young craftsmen to practice their skills. The master carving masters all work in the Capital Architectural Art Sculpture Factory.
The stalls are full of things for kids to practice their skills, such as a little lion rolling a ball, a pug, and a giant panda eating bamboo.
It is small and can be held up by one hand. It looks very cute and adorable.
Jiang Cha also learned by chance that Quyang carving artists were transferred to the capital to participate in the construction of many projects such as the Great Hall of the People, the Museum of the Chinese Revolution, the History Museum, and the Military Museum of the Chinese People's Revolution.
Satisfied, she packed the three little gadgets and went back. She should go back tomorrow morning. She wondered if her exploded kang had been repaired.
I bought a pair of iron balls, a local specialty, from the department store in Bao City. Rubbing the iron balls more often is good for the brain and finger flexibility.
Holding two iron balls the size of lion heads, I feel that their greatest use is for self-defense. If you really use them to hit someone, breaking their head would be the least of their worries.
Before leaving, we went to my eldest sister's house to eat some fire-baked bread. The crispy and delicious taste touched her heart. I won't take this with me. There are so many people that we can't put it away immediately. It won't taste the same if it gets cold.
He entered the station with a bit of pretentiousness. He was indeed rich and showed off. Back then, he worked everywhere and was content with just a warm meal. He never thought that he would have so many things to do now.
I suffered so much in my past life, so I just want to live my life to the fullest. As for marriage and having children, I'll just go with the flow! I met a strange family before, but who knows if I'll meet someone I like in the future.
