In addition to the wide variety of items, the prices are also super cheap.
Steaming sugar-roasted chestnuts, big buns fresh from the pan, crispy big twists, and super-large oil cakes weighed by the pound.
What is the world of fireworks? Maybe this is it?
Even in a crowded place, you can't stop the smiles on people's faces.
The atmosphere of the Chinese New Year here is not only reflected in the couplets, blessing characters and big red lanterns on many stalls.
There are also elderly people who spend lavishly on New Year's goods, and their smiling faces do not show their usual frugality at all.
Because after they return home with the New Year's goods they buy, they will be made into the children's favorite delicacies by every experienced elder.
Their praise and the joyful laughter during the reunion are what they look forward to the most, and what every Chinese person looks forward to the most.
Before they even reached the stall selling reservoir fish, they had already carried a lot of bags, big and small. The crowd made Jiang Cha miss the small backpacks in the south.
If I had carried a backpack, I would never have ended up like this. Half of the bag of apples was squeezed out on the way and I didn't even know when the bag leaked.
I had no choice but to go back to the car, put all the things in the trunk, and then rush in to buy whatever I saw.
Don't be fooled by their impulse buying, they actually buy because they are cheap and affordable.
The trip didn't cost much at all. Instead, I bought a lot of free-range chickens and pork raised by myself.
Just when she thought today was totally worth it, she saw the stall selling reservoir fish and realized what it meant to be truly eye-opening.
Chinese people believe in eating fish during the Lunar New Year, hoping for abundance every year! Therefore, the reservoir fish stalls are the most crowded. Buy yours now and take them home to freeze.
If the weather is suitable, you can put it outside.
Because logistics are not well developed nowadays, by the time New Year’s Eve comes around, almost everyone has gone home to celebrate the New Year.
You can't buy fresh fish, and the reservoir fish are not always available. If you buy it, you will get it, so of course you can't miss it.
Dad Jiang squeezed in, pointed at a particularly large fish on the ground, and asked the boss how much it cost.
"This one? This one is fathead and costs six yuan a pound. Do you want it? If you want it, I'll put it in a snakeskin bag and weigh it for you."
Dad Jiang stood in front of the stall and pointed at several fish on the ground.
"Pack this one, this one, and these two and that fathead. Boss, can you weigh them and tell me how much they are? You're the ones who are in charge of packing, right?"
The old man bought things very casually, and then realized that he forgot to ask whether the other party would take care of it.
"Old man, the total is five hundred and thirty-nine yuan. I'll round off the amount to five hundred and thirty yuan. We'll take care of the cleanup. Do you want the fish offal?"
"You'll count the money, okay? I want the fish offal. It tastes better than the fish when it's cooked."
Dad Jiang handed the money to the fish stall owner, then turned around and told Jiang Cha that the fish offal was delicious.
Jiang Cha was also blinded by his own greed and did not expect what would happen next.
At this moment, they were nodding their heads repeatedly, waiting to go back and taste the food. After all, the taste of reservoir fish was completely different from the fish raised in fish ponds that they usually ate.
The saying "impulse is the devil" is absolutely true. After the boss put the fish into the snakeskin bag, they realized how to take it back.
The fish was so big that half of it was still sticking out of the snakeskin bag.
The boss put bags on both ends of the fish, barely able to fit it in. He also used a plastic bag as a rope to tie the fish tightly to prevent it from falling apart on the way back.
"Luckily the boss helped us, otherwise we would have had to make several trips. Maybe before the big market was over, word would have spread around that two idiots were busy buying so many fish."
Although Lao Jiang said in the car that they bought a lot of things, he was obviously in high spirits and promised her that he would show her his skills when he got back.
Jiang Cha is particularly looking forward to Jiang Dad’s fish dishes.
