Chapter 335 Procurement of Supplies

The two of them were dressed similarly.

In Yang Suqin's eyes, they are the same kind of people.

Not much younger than Yang Suqin, Feng Xiaoxian called out directly, "Sister Yang, let's go."

Yang Suqin sighed and said, "As family members, we should behave like family members and not embarrass the man in the family."

Feng Xiaoxian was puzzled and asked, "Sister Yang, what do you mean?"

Yang Suqin paused and said, "I just saw that the family of Director Gu was pulling a cart and was going to set up a stall at the market."

It's not that she looks down on country people, but some of their behaviors are really unrefined in Yang Suqin's eyes.

What would it look like for the wife of a group leader to set up a stall and sell things?

Feng Xiaoxian understood and said, "It's her. Well, you don't know, she might be very tired. She is always busy with this or that. A woman actually goes to learn swimming. She never has a moment of rest."

Liu Yinyin actually has a very good reputation in the family compound, and everyone praises her for how capable she is.

Feng Xiaoxian had long been fed up with her, a young wife from the country who didn't know how to be more restrained.

But everyone in the family compound was on her side, saying that she had a good heart and would not hide any good things but would tell everyone openly.

Yang Suqin was surprised when she heard this: "...How dare she, a woman, swim in the sea with her bare chest?"

"That's right." Feng Xiaoxian clicked her tongue twice. "Relying on her ability to swim, she went into the sea to save the son of Brigade Commander Wei a few days ago. Now, the people in the family compound dare not offend her anymore."

There was a hint of complexity in Yang Suqin's eyes, but she said nothing.

It was the first big fair after the end of the sea ban period. There were many people coming and the scene was very lively.

It is harvest season again, and there are more stalls at the market than last time.

There are all kinds of things for sale, and some people sell food, sweet potatoes, yams, potatoes, taro...

There is also rice and flour.

When Liu Yinyin and Liu Ersao arrived at the market, there were already rows of stalls around.

The two walked for a long time before they found Ma Guilan.

Ma Guilan also saw them and waved them over. She arrived early and directly occupied two stalls.

"Too many people are setting up stalls today. If you don't come, someone else will take your place."

Several people had wanted to set up a stall here, and Ma Guilan had managed to secure the stall with great difficulty.

Mrs. Liu had a good impression of Ma Guilan and said with a smile, "Thank you for your help."

Liu Yinyin moved the things down and arranged them, preparing to set up the stall.

In an era of scarcity, anything edible would attract attention.

Liu Yinyin was selling fresh food. As soon as she had set up her stall, customers came.

It was a middle-aged woman: "Little girl, what are you selling?"

Liu Yinyin smiled and said, "Rice tofu, taro in milk syrup, and marinated fish, all made by myself."

The middle-aged woman asked curiously, "What is rice tofu?"

Indeed, no one on the island sells rice tofu, and Liu Yinyin has never eaten it in her hometown. This is a food she came up with on a whim.

Liu Yinyin patiently explained, "It's tofu made from rice. Auntie, you can buy a bowl and try it. It's delicious."

When the middle-aged woman heard that it was made of rice, she worriedly asked, "Is it very expensive?"

One pound of rice can make about seven bowls of rice tofu.

Excluding seasonings, rice these days costs about a little over ten cents per pound.

It is still a famine year. If it were in my hometown, rice would be very expensive. It is relatively cheaper on the island.

Liu Yinyin thought for a moment and said, "Auntie, an egg can be exchanged for a bowl of rice tofu, and the same goes for taro in milk and sugar water. Of course, you can also exchange for other things."

Her purpose of setting up a stall at the market was not to make money, but just to exchange for other supplies.

An egg for a bowl of rice tofu doesn't sound too expensive.

The middle-aged woman immediately said, "Can I trade you duck eggs?"

Liu Yinyin: “Okay!”

Chicken eggs and duck eggs are the same, you can just replace them with seafood.

Liu Yinyin also wanted to dry some dried seafood and stock up.

The middle-aged woman was a little confused. Rice tofu is made of rice and she wanted to eat it.

But she also wanted to eat the milk and sugar syrup taro because it sounded like it contained both milk and sugar syrup.

Seeing the middle-aged woman looking confused, Liu Yinyin suggested, "Auntie, you can have one portion and take the other one back for your family to taste."

Buying two portions only gives you two duck eggs, so it doesn’t seem too expensive, right?

The middle-aged woman gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll change for two, and I'll have a bowl of rice tofu first."

She hadn't eaten yet in the morning and was thinking of going to the market to exchange for something to eat.

"Okay, Auntie, it will be ready soon..."

Liu Yinyin has already cut the rice tofu at home. Just put it in a bowl, add a large spoonful of chili oil, sprinkle some peas, dried radishes, balsamic vinegar, and chopped green onions, mix it and you can eat it.

A bowl of rice tofu weighs almost one kilogram, which is quite a large portion.

The middle-aged woman was satisfied at first, but when she tasted the rice tofu, her eyes widened instantly: "Little girl, the rice tofu you made is so delicious..."

The taste is smooth and elastic, and your mouth is filled with the aroma of rice.

It tastes sour and spicy, and the taste is really tempting.

After eating a bowl of rice tofu, the middle-aged woman was still very satisfied.

I originally just wanted to take home a bowl of taro in milk and sugar syrup, but then I thought...

The middle-aged woman packed another bowl of rice tofu.

Such delicious food should be brought back for my family to taste.

At this time, people who gather will bring their own bowls to pack up their food.

This way Liu Yinyin doesn't have to worry about not having enough bowls.

In the first business deal, two bowls of rice tofu and a bowl of taro in milk and sugar water were sold smoothly, and Liu Yinyin harvested three duck eggs.

Maybe the rice tofu and taro in milk syrup taste really good.

After that, more and more people came to exchange for food.

Liu Yinyin doesn't charge any money, she just exchanges things.

In less than an hour, the two basins of food she brought were sold out, and even the pickled fish was gone.

The things I got in exchange included eggs, duck eggs, soybeans, soybeans, peanuts...

There were also seafood and a lot of miscellaneous supplies. Liu Yinyin packed up the things.

Mrs. Liu hasn't sold all her things yet.

The magical tofu and liangfen seeds she sells are half the price of those sold by Liu Yin.

But it’s not as delicious as rice tofu and taro in milk syrup.

Plus, Mrs. Liu made a lot, so there were still quite a lot left that weren’t sold.

Not many people bought the Shenxian Tofu and Liangfen, so there was no need for Liu Yinyin's help.

Liu Yinyin thought for a moment and said, "Second sister-in-law, can I take Yanyan and Yeye to the market for a stroll?"

The island finally held a big fair, and Liu Yinyin wanted to look around and see if she could buy more things.

Mrs. Liu nodded: "Okay, go ahead."
