Since the cement had not dried yet, they returned to town. Lin Siya prepared dinner, and after the two of them finished eating, Fu Sinian was driven away.
Seeing the man looking pitiful and looking back every few steps, Lin Siya laughed heartlessly.
The next day, Lin Siya got up while it was still dawn. She didn't plan to make breakfast. She heard that there were food for sale in the market, so she decided to eat ready-made food.
Considering that she might buy a lot of things today, Lin Siya prepared two large backpacks and several sacks. When she was ready, Fu Sinian also came over.
The two rode their bicycles towards their destination, and about an hour later, they arrived at the market.
This place must have been chosen deliberately. It is a large open space, very suitable for setting up stalls. It is also located at the intersection of several towns, making it very convenient for people from all places to come here.
By this time, the sky was already bright and the market was already bustling with people.
Two people pushed their bicycles and went to the bicycle storage place. Each of them spent five cents to store the bicycle, and then carried the backpack to fill his stomach first.
"Anian, look, there's a place selling wontons over there. Let's go over and try some."
The people selling wontons were a young couple, probably from the countryside. Their clothes were worn but very clean. The young woman even wrapped her hair tightly with a piece of floral cloth, and it was obvious that they were very particular about hygiene.
The two found an empty seat and sat down, asking the young couple what kind of wontons they had.
"We have both vegetarian and meat dishes. The vegetarian ones are 30 cents a bowl, and the meat ones are 60 cents a bowl."
Lin Siya ordered two bowls of meat dishes, and saw an old man selling sesame cakes next to the wonton seller. She went over to take a look and saw that they were the old-fashioned sesame cakes. There was no stuffing inside, but there were a lot of sesame seeds on the cakes, and they tasted particularly fragrant. The sesame cakes were not very big. She asked the price and found that they were ten cents each, which was very reasonable. Considering Fu Sinian's appetite, she bought five directly.
The wontons arrived very quickly. The soup was probably made from pork bones. It was very fragrant, with shredded eggs and chopped green onions floating on top.
She took a sip of the soup first, which tasted good, and then took a bite of a wonton. The skin was thin and the filling was large, which was very much to her liking.
Lin Siya just ate wontons and sesame cakes, enjoying herself very much.
People nowadays are really too practical when doing business. Lin Siya couldn't finish such a big bowl of wontons plus the sesame cake.
The remaining one-third of wontons was cleaned up by Fu Sinian.
After the two of them had eaten and drunk their fill, they started strolling around.
"Yaya, look, are those the neighbors we met yesterday?"
Looking in the direction of Fu Sinian's finger, it was indeed the neighbors from yesterday.
Lin Siya quickly pulled Fu Sinian over to say hello. Don't be fooled by the fact that these aunties are usually noisy, love gossip and quarrels, they are also very good at shopping and bargaining.
"Auntie Wang, Auntie Zhao, Auntie Fang, why are you here so early?"
"Oh, it's you, girl. Just now, we old sisters were talking about it. We didn't see you. We didn't expect you to arrive so early." The speaker was Aunt Fang, who was tall and strong, with a very cheerful personality.
"My wife and I came here early in the morning and didn't even have breakfast. We were afraid we'd be late, so we rushed over. Luckily, we made it in time. We just had a bowl of wontons and sesame cakes."
"Oh, you two finally got to eat it. The wontons and pancakes are made by hand from our ancestors, and they've been doing it for decades. It used to be an old man and woman who sold wontons. When they got older, they passed the wonton-making skills to their son and daughter-in-law. But national policies changed and they're no longer allowed to do business. Now we can only enjoy them at the big market."
"Isn't it? I remember this old man who made these sesame cakes has been making them for decades, and they still taste the same. My old man likes them just the same. I'll buy some to take back when I leave later."
Lin Siya listened with great interest as the three aunts described the people setting up stalls in detail.
Following the three aunties, you don’t need to worry about bargaining at all. Except for some individual stall owners who don’t know these three aunties, the rest of the stall owners are very enthusiastic when they see these three aunties.
Lin Siya pulled Fu Sinian and followed the three aunts, and bought a lot of good things.
First, I bought a lot of steaming hot tofu at a tofu stall. Tofu is a good thing. It can be used to make mapo tofu, preserved egg tofu, and stuffed tofu. According to the introduction of three aunts, the old man who made tofu came from a family that had been making tofu for generations. Their tofu is not only delicious but also has no bean smell and is very popular.
In addition to ordinary white tofu, this tofu stall also sells many tofu derivatives, such as dried tofu, bean curd sheets, dried tofu, etc. Lin Siya bought a lot of everything.
The bean curd sheets can be kept for a while, and then you can make a pot of braised meat with some of them, it will definitely taste good.
Dried tofu skin can also be made into a cold dish with cucumber. This tofu product can be used to make several delicious dishes, which is very economical.
After buying the tofu, I followed three aunties to a stall selling vermicelli.
A lot of people buy fans from this store. The fans nowadays are all made of real materials, but they don’t have as much technology and hard work as those in later generations.
The vermicelli here is sweet potato vermicelli, which is also Lin Siya’s favorite. There are both thick and thin ones. She bought a lot of each. This kind of dry vermicelli can be stored for a long time.
