Rarely having something exciting to watch, Tang Baozhu quickly went back inside to wash up, then grabbed her basket and headed out the door without even having breakfast.
Tang Baozhu thought that since there was a market, there should be no shortage of good food there.
I locked the door and went into the yard. I saw that everyone was waiting. I looked around and realized that I was indeed all alone.
"I'm all packed, let's go!"
Seeing her anxious look, Li Feifei quickly comforted her, "It's our fault for not telling you in advance, which is why you're in such a hurry. Fortunately, it's not too late now; there should still be plenty of good things at the market."
Since they don't live together, although they have a good relationship, it's definitely not as close as those who live together. It's not strange that they forgot to remind each other. "It's okay."
Tang Baozhu followed them and headed out of the village. After walking for more than 20 minutes, she turned a corner. If she continued on, the road would lead to the commune, but turning the corner would lead to another village.
According to Li Feifei, that's because that village is the largest in the area and has a larger population, so everyone set up the market on the edge of that village.
By the time she arrived at the market, almost an hour had passed since she set off. If it weren't for her desire to join in the fun, she probably would have been impatient.
The closer you get, the more people you see. By the time you reach the outside of the village, it's packed with people.
Fortunately, the market is outside the village, not inside it; otherwise, it would feel unsettling inside the village because there are just too many people.
Most people couldn't see what others looked like because everyone's face was covered by a scarf. The only things you could tell were whether someone was male or female, tall or short, and even their weight was hard to discern because they were all dressed so thickly.
"Everyone, remember not to get separated. Do not be alone in the market. Although most people are nice, there are always some bad ones. Please be careful."
Tang Baozhu did follow Li Feifei at first, but unfortunately, the crowd was too dense and they were quickly separated. By the time she came to her senses, she could no longer see anyone else.
Fortunately, she was so strong that she wasn't afraid of anything else.
I watched intently as people set up stalls on both sides of the road. I saw some cloth for sale, which looked like the kind that families wove themselves. It was white, but it felt quite soft to the touch, so I figured it was pure cotton.
Although I have better and softer cloth in my own space, this is the first time I've seen homemade cloth that is this soft. Since I don't have any in the warehouse or my small space, I have to stock up on some.
A roll of cloth is several dozen meters long, and the price per meter is several cents, so a roll of cloth costs only about ten yuan.
Tang Baozhu immediately bought five rolls, spending over 50 yuan. Then she carried them forward, exited the market, and came to a deserted corner. Once she was a few hundred meters away from the market and no one was paying attention to her, she quickly put the fabric away.
Five rolls of fabric seem a bit too little, but if I buy more, I feel like I can't afford it. Looks like I'll have to go to the black market to exchange some cash, so I won't be unable to buy things to my heart's content.
Back at the market, I continued looking at the things being sold at the stalls. I saw a vendor selling frozen pears and suddenly realized that I had so many fruits in my storage space and hadn't even thought to freeze some. It was such a dereliction of duty. I'll freeze some when I get back.
However, seeing that I wanted to eat them, I bought two to satisfy my craving. Although they need to be thawed before eating, it's good that I can eat them today.
There are also many cooked food vendors, and if it smells delicious, she will buy some to try.
If I think it's pretty good after trying it, I'll buy some to stock up and eat it whenever I want.
Gu Chengxu had a rare day off today, so he came to visit a good friend. Unexpectedly, he spotted a familiar figure in the distance. It was the little girl he had met on the mountain that day. However, he recognized the little girl, but she didn't recognize him.
Watching the little girl eat as she walked, her eyes shining brightly when she ate something delicious, I inexplicably found her very cute.
There was a feeling of wanting to feed her, and also the thought of stroking her a few times. When I realized what I was thinking, even though I felt really embarrassed, I couldn't tell on my face.
Tang Baozhu was engrossed in eating her delicious food, unaware that someone was watching her.
At this moment, she came to a stall with bottles and jars. She could see that there were medicinal herbs in the glass bottles, and even snakes in them. Of course, the snakes were definitely dead. She could tell from the smell that it was medicinal wine.
Tang Baozhu thought about how many medicinal herbs were planted in her space, some of which were already quite old. Although she had learned medicine and could treat patients, she felt she wouldn't need so many, so she didn't make a lot of medicinal wine.
Suddenly I felt like I'd made a mistake. In my past life, with such good conditions, I only focused on prescriptions for treating illnesses and colds, and didn't even think about getting some unconventional prescriptions.
"Grandpa, what are the effects of the medicinal wine you're making in these glass jars?"
The old man selling things was initially quite pleased to see someone stop there, but when he looked up and saw it was a little girl, he knew that the girl was just asking out of curiosity.
After all, most of the medicinal wines he sold were preferred by men, but since someone had asked, he just said so.
"This jar is tiger bone wine, which strengthens muscles and bones. This jar is also made from tiger parts. As for its effects, a young girl like you shouldn't ask."
Tang Baozhu knew immediately that it must be an aphrodisiac. Seeing the old man's evasive manner, she was fortunate that she wasn't a naive young girl, otherwise she would have kept asking him out of curiosity.
"Grandpa, don't you have anything that young girls can use? Like beauty and skincare products. Girls' money is easy to earn."
The old man seemed to remember something after being reminded of this, and took out another jar of medicinal wine from the bag. "This should be quite useful for you. After you drink it, your partner will be the one to benefit from it."
Tang Baozhu couldn't understand what he meant. "Sir, could you explain this more clearly? Why is it that the future partner is the one who benefits?"
The poor old man was quite embarrassed by the young girl's questions and stammered, finally saying, "It improves the body both inside and out. Why are you asking so many questions, young lady? As long as you know it's beneficial, that's enough."
Tang Baozhu understood a little better now. Although she was still a bit confused, she was much better than before. However, she had so many pills to nourish her body, so it seemed like she didn't need this one.
But since it's such a good thing, there's no reason not to miss it.
