Lin Tingwan followed Wang Mengyao and saw that there were all kinds of things for sale inside, including vegetables, eggs, flour, etc.
Although private buying and selling is not allowed at this time, since there is such a large-scale fair here, it must have been tacitly approved by the higher-ups. As long as no one reports it, nothing will go wrong.
But she didn't expect that there were people selling rapeseed oil.
At this time, everyone eats animal oil, which is made from fat meat.
But dishes cooked with animal oil always have a smell that she is not used to. She did not expect that rapeseed oil is sold here.
Then he stood at the stall and asked.
"Uncle, how much do you sell this rapeseed oil for?"
The old man had been selling rapeseed oil for the whole morning, but had only sold one or two kilograms. He was looking very worried, but unexpectedly, someone came to ask about the price again.
He immediately smiled and introduced enthusiastically: "Girl, my rapeseed oil is only 90 cents per pound. Don't think it's expensive, but we make it ourselves. It's pure rapeseed oil, and it tastes better than animal oil when cooking."
As he spoke, he opened the lid of the oil barrel, and the aroma of rapeseed oil wafted to the face.
Even Liu Fang, who was standing by, said, "It does smell good, but it's too expensive. A pound of pork is only 80 or 90 cents, which is more expensive than meat."
Although it looks good, if you buy a pound of pork fat and boil it down, there will be some oil left for cooking.
Once compared, naturally no one wants to buy it.
But the old man got a little anxious when he heard this, and quickly explained: "This is not expensive anymore. It takes a lot of effort to make rapeseed oil. What's more, this oil is delicious for cooking. After you try it once, I guarantee you won't want to eat animal oil anymore."
Liu Fang shook her head repeatedly. No matter what the old man said, she had no intention of buying anything.
Wang Mengyao does have some rapeseed oil at home, and she would occasionally use it when cooking. But as Liu Fang said, it tastes good, but it is a bit expensive, so she is reluctant to use it.
Upon seeing this, the old man dejectedly closed the lid of the oil barrel. All his words were in vain. It seemed that he would not be able to sell it today!
Unexpectedly, Lin Tingwan suddenly said, "I didn't bring the oil bottle. Do you have anything to put it in?"
As soon as these words came out, the old man's eyes sparkled, and he nodded immediately and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I made this oil bottle out of bamboo myself. If you don't mind, I'll give you one for free!"
Originally, I wanted to sell this oil bottle, but now I can’t even sell the oil, so why sell the oil bottle? I immediately decided to give it away for free!
"Then give me five pounds!"
Lin Tingwan waved her hand and immediately asked for five kilograms.
This fair is like a black market, no tickets are needed! This makes her very happy.
It was rare to come across someone selling rapeseed oil, so she would naturally buy more to avoid having to cook with animal oil every day and smelling like lard. She had to wash her clothes every day, otherwise they would smell bad.
Not only Wang Mengyao and Liu Fang were stunned, even the old man was stunned.
After that, he recovered and took out the oil bottle. With a big smile on his face, he praised while pouring oil: "The girl is not only pretty, but also has good taste. I guarantee that you will want to try this rapeseed oil again after trying it once!"
He is very confident in the rapeseed oil he squeezes. After all, his wife no longer uses animal oil to cook, so she naturally understands its benefits.
Lin Tingwan smiled slightly. If the rapeseed oil tasted authentic, she would come here often in the future.
She took two large oil bottles, each containing exactly five kilograms of oil, and then handed over the money.
The old man took the money and said with a smile: "Come back next time, young lady, and I will prepare an oil bottle for you."
"All right, sir."
Only then did Lin Tingwan leave with a smile.
Liu Fang was amazed by this generous gesture, but when she thought that Lu Yunzheng was a regiment leader after all, and his monthly allowance was naturally higher than her man's, she suddenly didn't think it was a big deal.
If her man becomes the head of a group one day in the future, she might be even more extravagant than Lin Tingwan.
Several people continued walking along the road. Lin Tingwan didn't expect that there were not only food for sale here, but also living things.
There were a lot of people gathering around the chicken coop. It was obvious that they all wanted to buy chicks to raise. Not only would they have eggs to eat throughout the year, but they could also have meat to eat during the New Year. Naturally, everyone was scrambling to buy them.
Lin Tingwan was not interested in these things. The yard of a house that raises chickens needs to be cleaned frequently, and even if it is cleaned, there will still be a smell, so she decided to skip it.
A few people finally squeezed through this crowded place and walked a short distance forward, where they happened to see a stall selling melon seeds, peanuts and pastries.
When she saw the little girl's eyes were fixed on the snacks on the stall, she walked over.
"Xinxin, which dessert do you want to eat?"
"That." The little girl pointed at the fruit cake on the stall.
When the stall owner saw this, he immediately smiled and said, "Little girl, you are really good at eating. This thing is the most delicious. My children always like to eat it. It's just a little expensive, one catty is one dollar and twenty cents."
Lin Tingwan raised her eyebrows when she heard the price. This cake looked the same as the one sold in the department store and the price was about the same, but it didn't require a ticket, which was much better than the department store.
She remembered that all three children liked the cake she bought last time, so she bought a pound of it.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to buy more, but these things will break if they are kept for a long time.
"How about buying a pound and sharing it with your brother?"
"Okay, thank you, aunt." The little girl smiled with her eyes curved and her baby voice was very cute.
Seeing that Lin Tingwan bought a fruit cake, Liu Fang said, "This thing looks good. Sanmao, do you like it?"
After saying this, Liu Fang looked back when she didn't hear Sanmao's response.
But he didn't see Sanmao, so he immediately yelled at the top of his voice: "Sanmao!"
This shout scared Lin Tingwan and Wang Mengyao so much that they turned around to look over quickly.
Wang Mengyao frowned and asked, "Why are you speaking so loudly?"
"Sanmao is lost!" Liu Fang stamped her feet anxiously, tears welled up in her eyes instantly, and she looked at Wang Mengyao with redness at the corners of her eyes.
After saying this, Wang Mengyao looked around and indeed, there was no trace of Sanmao.
Then he frowned and asked, "Didn't you hold his hand?!"
"I held it, I held it." Liu Fang was so anxious that she burst into tears and snot, and she kept saying, "It was just beside me. I just turned around to take a look at the snacks on the stall and wanted to buy some for Sanmao, but when I turned back, it was gone!"
When she arrived at the market, she held Sanmao's hand tightly, fearing that someone would abduct her.
But how could it be lost in just the blink of an eye?
