Continuing forward, there is an open-air area surrounded by a low wall.
It is about one thousand square meters in size, with horse-drawn carriages and ox-drawn carts each occupying a place. Various goods are placed on the carts to form stalls, which looks very much like the farmers' markets in later generations.
In this planned economy era, it was the first time that Lan Guoer saw such a scene, and she walked in with great interest.
"Girl, do you want some black fungus? I'll trade it for rice, flour, or whole grains!"
A man in his sixties stood in front of the carriage and stretched out his palm to her, on which were a few dried black fungus.
Lan Guoer saw that the fungus looked good, and thinking that Su Guoyu and Han Wenying both liked to eat this kind of dried food, she stopped and asked,
"How much is this? How much is one pound?"
Lan Guoer couldn't help but think of the future market economy and the state of free buying and selling.
"Sell? Haha~ Little girl, you are not from here, right?"
The uncle smiled and said, "Trading is not popular nowadays, but you can bring something in exchange!
Rice and flour are both fine! Rice and flour, one jin for four liang! Grains, one jin for two liang."
"Oh~"
Lan Guoer suddenly realized and understood!
I mean, how can an economic model that is planned and allocated in a unified manner from above discriminate against others?
If it is a "goods for goods" deal, that's another matter!
It not only solved the problem of people having difficulty buying things because they had no tickets or money, but also did not go against the above policies.
It can be said to kill two birds with one stone!
However, looking at herself again, she saw nothing but a small bag the size of a book! There were two "surveillance cameras" following closely behind her, so she could only feast her eyes!
She nodded shyly to the uncle and walked towards the next stall.
After careful observation, she had a general understanding of the items traded in this market.
Most of the items traded there are local specialties, such as air-dried meat, kumis brewed by herders themselves, sheepskin and wool raw materials, home-woven cloth, carpets, etc.!
It has local characteristics.
Thinking that these things could also be found in the pastoral areas, Lan Guoer was not in a hurry to buy them. After taking a walk around, she decided to go back and rest.
Just as she was about to step out of the door of the stock exchange, the carriage not far from the door instantly caught her attention as if by magic.
In a wire cage on the carriage, a pure white baby bird was flapping its wings and wailing, as if shouting, "Let me out, let me out!"
Lan Guoer rubbed her eyes, almost unable to believe what she saw!
"This...is this...a Saker Falcon? Or a Jade Claw?!" She couldn't help but take two steps forward and almost exclaimed!
In her previous life, when she was studying in Country M, she saw an adult Saker Falcon in a local farmer's home.
According to the farmer, he spent a full seven figures to get this one!
It was also from the farmer that she learned some information about the Saker Falcon, and when she got home she searched and researched it online with great interest.
She didn't know until she checked, and this check shocked her greatly.
The Saker Falcon can be said to be the king of eagles!
An adult Saker Falcon is about one meter tall, has a wingspan of two meters, has strong and powerful claws, and can fly as fast as lightning!
Legend has it that only one eagle is born in a hundred thousand! It can hunt swans, rabbits, and roe deer, and even wolves are its food.
The Qing Dynasty even regarded it as a sacred bird, and there was a saying that anyone who got a Saker Falcon would be exempted from the death penalty!
Among the Saker Falcons, pure white jade claws are top quality and extremely rare!
"Miss, are you interested in this eagle? Do you have anything to exchange for it?"
A young Mongolian man stood beside the carriage and asked in broken Mandarin.
"Eagle?" Lan Guoer was surprised!
How could the men on the grassland not tell that this was a Saker Falcon?
Although the Saker Falcon and the Eagle are of the same species and don't look very different when young, a closer look at their beaks and claws reveals significant differences.
It's fine that outsiders like them can't understand it, but even men who have lived on the grassland since childhood can't see it... It's a bit hard to understand.
"Oh~"
Seeing her puzzled expression, the man seemed to understand what she meant and explained with a smile,
"I found this little guy while hunting in the mountains. Its wings were injured. In my opinion, it looks no different from an ordinary eagle!
But it's rare to find a fur color this pure. If you like it, you can take it home and try raising it. Maybe a miracle will happen! "
Lan Guoer understood that the miracle he was talking about was the legendary rebirth of the eagle.
The so-called rebirth is about an adult Saker Falcon whose claws, feathers, and beaks become calcified, and whose hunting ability is reduced, threatening its life and death. The Saker Falcon uses cliffs to pluck out all its feathers, and even knocks off its beak and claws, in order to survive!
Either die or successfully grow new feathers, claws and beaks to be reborn.
Of course, this is just a legend!
In fact, the eagle's beak and claws are tightly connected to the skull and cannot be removed by hitting the rocks. Even if they could, it would be difficult for the eagle to survive without these organs.
As a doctor, she knows all this very well!
Lan Guoer didn't rush to reply him.
She walked forward, squatted down, and carefully examined the wings of the Saker Falcon.
The little Saker Falcon in the cage thought she was going to let it out, so it flapped its wings more frequently and rolled its eyes around, looking full of anticipation.
This also allowed Lan Guoer to see the problem with its wings.
One of the doors was obviously powerless, as if it was not under its control.
There were traces of blood on the feathers where the wings connected to the body. I think that was because its wings were not under stress.
After seeing the specific situation clearly, she stood up.
"I want this eagle! What do you want me to give you in exchange?"
"Anything is fine?" The Mongolian man's eyes lit up!
This girl is obviously from the city, and it seems that her family conditions are pretty good!
His wife had just given birth and had severe bleeding during childbirth, and she almost died! It was time to replenish her body.
He heard that millet porridge with brown sugar is best for pregnant women, so today he brought all the newly weaned lambs from home, thinking of exchanging them for some millet and brown sugar for his wife.
But on their grassland, beef and mutton are easy to find, but food is very scarce!
He came here before dawn today, and it's already mid-afternoon, but he hasn't met anyone who has Xiaomi and is willing to exchange it with him.
Lan Guoer raised her eyebrows and said, "Tell me about it first. If I can get it, then it's fine!"
"I want millet and brown sugar! Five pounds of millet, no, three pounds will do! Two ounces of brown sugar, what do you think?"
The man looked as if he was afraid of scaring her off, so he lowered the price without her even asking.
