There were a lot of people at the open-air market.
Jiang Tiantian walked slowly while looking at the things on the various stalls.
Like this one, an open-air market held once a year in the countryside.
Most of the things on display are produced and sold by local herdsmen.
Many people took out their excess supplies and sold them or exchanged them with others for more urgently needed items.
Air-dried beef jerky, ghee and milk curds made from milk, and various homemade pastries and snacks.
Various dried wild mushrooms, wild fruits freshly picked from nearby mountains, various wild goods hunted, etc.
Some coats, shoes, water bags, etc. are made of cowhide and sheepskin.
There are also primitive and rough ornaments made of various beautiful stones, bones, wolf teeth, etc.
Jiang Tiantian walked around for a while and took a fancy to a string of wolf tooth pendants and a sharp dagger with a scabbard inlaid with red agate.
The stall owner was an elderly, rugged grandfather with a pretty little girl.
Jiang Tiantian pays attention to appearance when buying things. Once she saw something she liked, even though the old man indicated with his gestures that the price was not cheap, she did not bargain and quickly paid for the two items.
She also took out a rainbow lollipop that was almost as big as the little girl's face from her bag and stuffed it into the little girl's hand.
This is what she just ordered from the platform.
Because the little girl's eyes were so beautiful, sparkling like two black grapes, full of spirit.
It makes people forget their worries when they see it!
My mood soon returned to calm.
The little girl smiled sweetly and said to her, "Thank you, sister."
The old man smiled gratefully. Because he was too old and couldn't speak Chinese, he couldn't communicate with Jiang Tiantian.
He turned around and spoke to the little girl, making gestures. The little girl translated it and meant for Jiang Tiantian to pick another small item from his stall.
Jiang Tiantian shook her head to indicate that she didn't want it, but the old man disagreed and wouldn't let her leave unless she took it.
In the end, Jiang Tiantian couldn't refuse the kind offer, so she picked up an inconspicuous fist-sized black stone from a corner of the stall.
The old man shook his head and said a few more words to the little girl in a gibberish.
"Sister, Grandpa said he picked this up on the street and planned to use it as a tablecloth. You can pick up another one."
"No need, just tell him that I like this stone very much. Just take this one, it's enough." Jiang Tiantian bent down and said to the little girl gently.
Seeing this, the old man understood what she meant, gave her a simple smile, and let her go.
Jiang Tiantian walked a long way away. When she turned back, she saw the little girl still looking at her, smiling sweetly, holding a rainbow lollipop in her hand, with a very happy face.
She also smiled and waved at her before turning back and continuing walking.
Sometimes, a little kindness and smile between people is enough to make people feel good for the whole day.
"Tiantian, can you exchange the stone in your hand for the system?"
Xiao Qi's voice sounded in my mind.
Jiang Tiantian raised her eyebrows in surprise, picked up the stone and took a look at it, "Is there anything special about this stone?"
No matter how she looked at it, it was just an ordinary stone.
"Inside this stone is a piece of amber the size of a thumb, which contains a specimen of an ancient insect."
"If you don't want it, you can exchange it with the system. The system likes to collect this kind of things."
Xiao Qi sent the cross-sectional image scanned by the system to Jiang Tiantian.
The surface of the fist-sized stone is covered with a thick shell, and in the middle there is indeed a thumb-sized piece of amber. In the middle of the amber there is a tiny insect that looks like a mosquito, but not quite like a mosquito.
Anyway, Jiang Tiantian couldn't recognize it.
This thing is of no use to her. If the system likes it, just give it to her.
However, Jiang Tiantian touched her chin and thought, it can’t be given to her at a low price. What on earth can she want?
"Xiao Qi, can I have anything I want?"
"What are you thinking? Do you think it's so easy to get the system's wool? It's an equal exchange."
Jiang Tiantian rolled her eyes and said, "It's not that easy."
Jiang Tiantian touched her chin, thinking of the wound at the corner of Cha Jiuzhang's eye. The skin in that area was particularly fragile and not easy to heal. Her grandfather's scar removal medicine might be useless.
Or, why not just give him a skin-beautifying potion?
But isn't it too pretentious for a grown man to use skin-beautifying potions?
No matter what, it’s her man, she should pamper him, she is happy with that!
Besides, if that face is good, it will be pleasing to the eye when looking at it.
Jiang Tiantian showed her business nature, "Xiao Qi, I want to change a skin beautifying potion..."
She deliberately dragged out her voice, but soon saw Xiao Qi nodded.
Jiang Tiantian continued, "... add another body-building potion..."
Since I have used it myself and feel it is good, I want to give one to Cha Jiuzhang as well.
To prevent him from showing off his strength and acting impulsively in the future, if he is physically fit, he will have more protection no matter what happens.
Then Xiao Qi nodded again.
Jiang Tiantian rolled her eyes, "... and a skin-beautifying potion formula..."
If I could get the formula, I could produce it myself and have as much as I want!
Wow, it makes me excited just thinking about it!
But this time, Xiao Qi didn't nod.
She spread her hands and said, "The medicine provided by the system has many ingredients that you cannot obtain in this era."
"Oh~" Jiang Tiantian pursed her lips regretfully. It seemed that she could only think about it.
"But..." Xiao Qi also learned to keep the secret. She smiled and said, "There is a low-end formula for the skin-beautifying potion. The raw materials are all available in this era."
"Although the effect is not as amazing as skin beautification potion, it is still no problem to apply it on the body to achieve normal whitening and smooth skin."
"Really?" Jiang Tiantian's eyes lit up and she wanted to make another request.
Xiao Qi raised his hand and made a cross. "You want these three things, which are worth more than that piece of amber. I still need to submit an application to see if it will be approved."
Jiang Tiantian smiled awkwardly and said unwillingly, "That's all. Thank you for your hard work, Xiaoqi."
Afterwards, Jiang Tiantian ordered some snacks suitable for children on the platform, and also picked out two sets of beautiful clothes and shoes.
Give it to the little girl.
She felt bad if she didn't give anything back after getting such a big advantage for nothing.
No reward without merit.
Although the little girl liked the gift she gave very much, why would the old man accept her things for no reason?
There was no other choice, so Jiang Tiantian had to pick out another string of bodhi beads from the old man’s stall.
There are 108 in total.
I guess it was made by the old man using the Bodhi seeds he picked himself.
It has not been polished, so there is no patina yet, and it does not look oily and beautiful enough.
But it doesn’t matter. If you buy it and play with it for a while, it will become beautiful.
After saying goodbye to the old grandfather and the little girl with a smile.
Jiang Tiantian walked around the market again and bought some snacks she had never seen before.
I also picked out a few exquisite little items and some rare medicinal herbs as gifts for several family members.
She has always had a good eye, and everything she likes is good stuff.
Look, buy it and they will definitely like it.
