She looked at the time. It was still early. The last time Zhou went to sell eggs, she went half an hour later. Today she went even earlier than before. She was thinking about walking around first, but it was inconvenient for her to walk around with the coal on her back. So she decided to go to Fuqiu Lane. She could wait there if she wanted.
She arrived at Fuqiu Lane and found a tree to unload the backpack. The leaves of the tree had all fallen off. She didn't know what kind of tree it was, but the trunk was quite big. When she had the conditions in the future, she would also plant a tree in the corner of the yard so that when it grows up, she can use it as a shade in the summer.

Some were buying breakfast from the breakfast shop, while others, carrying baskets, were probably going to the market to buy vegetables.

When she heard the visitor said he wanted to buy carbon, she was instantly delighted, "Sell, I'm here to sell carbon." Unexpectedly, business came to her before she even took any action. She was really lucky today.
"How do you sell this carbon? Put it down and let me see it."
Chunxiao quickly put down the backpack and said, "60 coins per pound. My charcoal is very durable. You'll know once you use it."
