Chapter 23 White Peony Root, White Atractylodes Macrocephala, White Poria (1/2)



After an hour of shaking, the bus finally entered the city.

People got off the bus one after another at the stations in the city.

Liang Yuxiu and her group of military wives all rushed to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

Supply and marketing cooperatives are department stores under the national allocation system, selling all daily necessities such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, small items such as rice, flour, grain, oil, and sugar, and large items such as televisions, washing machines, and bicycles.

Most people buy things at supply and marketing cooperatives.

The price is under control, reasonable and very affordable.

There is often a shortage of supplies. If you arrive too late, you won’t be able to buy them.

Therefore, there is always a long queue in front of the supply and marketing cooperative. If you want to buy good things, you must arrive as early as possible.

Everyone got off the bus in a hurry.

When Liang Yuxiu got off the car, she saw Jiang Nian still sitting in the car and asked hurriedly.

"Anian, this stop is the cooperative, don't you want to get off?"

Jiang Nian shook his head. "I don't want to go to the cooperative to buy things. I want to go to the market to have a look. Sister Yuxiu, you guys go ahead. Be careful when you get off the car and cross the road."

"Well, we're done."

As she spoke, Liang Yuxiu got out of the car.

Jiang Nian has all kinds of supplies in her personal space, so she has no interest in the supply and marketing cooperative.

Going to the market is an activity with very local characteristics.

In the 1970s, the policy on individual business operation had not yet been completely liberalized, but a gap was loosened and a pilot program was started.

In addition, there are many ethnic minorities in the southwest region, and they have had the habit of going to the market since ancient times, so it has been specially preserved.

It is a small market on weekdays, but a big market on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month or various holidays.

On the day of the big market, villagers living in nearby villages and valleys would bring their mountain products to sell at the market.

Today happens to be the fifteenth day of the month, which is the day of the big market in the middle of the month.

After a while.

Jiang Nian followed the crowd into the market, and as soon as he got closer, he was amazed.

In her personal space, there are all kinds of crops, including rice, wheat, sorghum, potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams, as well as various vegetables and fruits. The variety is very comprehensive.

But those are regular crops, nothing compared to what's sold in this market.

because--

It's mushrooms!

They are all wild mushrooms!

There were some that Jiang Nian knew, such as: Alpinia terrestris, white onion mushroom, black mushroom, morel, porcini, bamboo fungus...

There were many more that Jiang Nian didn't recognize.

There are five gates and eight doors, all kinds of them, which make people dizzy.

Wild mushrooms are a gift from nature and cannot be cultivated artificially.

There is a lot of rain in spring and there are many mountains and forests in the southwest, which is the place where various fungi grow most densely.

Jiang Nian looked at the various types of mushrooms, and the delicious taste of mushroom hotpot appeared in his mind.

She went to several stalls and asked about prices one by one.

The porcini mushrooms that will be worth five hundred yuan per kilogram in the future are now worth only a few taels of silver!

purchase!

Matsutake mushrooms, which are marketed as the king of nutrition, are as big as a palm and only cost five yuan per pound!

purchase!

It’s nutritious and delicious, and it turns green when you cut it. It’s also ridiculously cheap.

Buy! Buy! Buy!

There are also farm eggs, wild chestnuts, and various wild fruits.

Jiang Nian walked around the market, and the vegetable basket he brought was stuffed full, with both hands full of things.

Because there were so many, she secretly took some and put them into the jade pendant's personal space.

After returning with so many things loaded down with him, he counted the money and found that he only got four dollars and five cents and a grain coupon in exchange.

I remember that a meal in a state-owned restaurant would cost five dollars, which was really a luxury.

Jiang Nian was completely shocked by the prices of goods in this era.

She smelled the unique aroma of mushrooms, carried a full bamboo basket, and prepared to leave the market to take a look at the next place.

Just about to.

Jiang Nian saw from the corner of his eye that there was a special stall in a remote corner of the market.

The stall owner was a dull man. In the bustling market, he neither shouted nor actively solicited customers.

Because what he bought were not ordinary items, but Chinese medicinal herbs.

Customers who buy medicinal herbs at the market are hard to come by.

䀴Jiangnian, this is the guest.

She squatted down in front of a secluded stall and carefully observed the medicinal herbs placed on the ground.
