Seafood

After closing the stall and storing the cart for a while, Jiang Wanwan planned to buy some vegetables and meat before picking up the group.

Now that the weather is getting colder, fresh vegetables are gradually decreasing, and there are not many varieties to buy. After strolling around the vegetable market, Jiang Wanwan was picking and choosing, and also bought some cabbage and radishes.

The next step is to go to the butcher's shop. Today, the butcher's shop rarely sells beef. Jiang Wanwan chose a large piece of high-quality beef, dozens of pounds of pork belly, a few pounds of spare ribs, and a few cheese bones. After paying the money, Just walked out of the store.

Mother Qin and Qin Jingyan were a little puzzled as they followed, "Wanwan, why did you buy some meatless bones?" Although it wasn't expensive, there was no need to buy it.

Jiang Wanwan explained with a smile: "This bun is bought to make soup. The bone soup is very fragrant. We can use it to cook noodles in the morning."

After listening to her explanation, the two nodded clearly.

On the way to pick up Tuan Tuan from Li's house, there was a black and thin middle-aged man on the side of the road selling something, and the stall owner next to him was arguing with him, "How can you buy these messy bugs? It stinks!"

"You put me next to me, how can I do business!"

"I'm a food seller, and there's your stink next to me, who would buy it!" As

he spoke, The stall owner accidentally glanced at the contents of his wooden barrel, closed his eyes, and looked away in fear.

The middle-aged man was yelling at him, he couldn't help shrinking his body, stood up timidly, and moved his position a little further.

The stall owner next to him cursed in disgust before continuing to sell them, "Selling buns!"

Jiang Wanwan and the others could smell a strong fishy smell from a long distance apart. Mother Qin and Qin Jingyan both took bigger steps. She also urged: "Wanwan, let's go quickly, it's too stinky!"

But Jiang Wanwan couldn't walk after smelling the smell. She grabbed the two of them, "I want to go and have a look." The

two of them Seeing the intense interest in her eyes, she could only leave it to her.

When she walked to the black and thin man's stall, Jiang Wanwan glanced at the things on display, her eyes were full of light, she didn't expect such fresh seafood to be sold!

I saw that the large wooden barrels on the stall were filled with some moving squid and half a barrel of sixties.

The black and thin man's name was Jiang Dahai. His family was originally in Linxian County, Qufeng County. If he could come here, he had to take the carriage of their villagers. He spent twenty cents. It took a three-hour carriage ride to get here.

His daughter and mother both contracted a severe cold, and it cost several taels of silver just to get the medicine. Now their family really can't afford the money to buy food. His daughter-in-law is embroidering things day and night and selling them. It was sold for a few hundred dollars, and the medicine was taken as soon as I got the money. Now there are only a few dozen dollars left, and the family of four is still waiting for dinner.

He had no choice, so he brought the octopus and stone worms that he caught in the sea to sell. Their own family was so hungry that they would cook and eat them. Although the taste was not good, they could fill their stomachs.

So I decided to try my luck.

It's just that it's a big bucket full of it, but it spilled a lot on the way, and there's only half of the bucket left.

Seeing Jiang Wanwan staring at the contents of the bucket, he thought she was just curious, so he introduced it awkwardly, "These are polypods and stone bugs, don't look at the scary-looking polypods, they can be Food ."

Jiang Wanwan took a closer look and found that the sixties were also fresh, so she asked, "How do you sell this?"

"Ah?"

Jiang Dahai was stunned, not expecting the pretty girl in front of him at all. I wanted to buy this ugly polypod, but I didn't react for a while.

Jiang Wanwan reluctantly repeated it, "I asked how to sell it?"

Jiang Dahai squeezed the worn-out cloth bag hanging on the hem of his clothes. Appropriate, he said, "You...you can give it to me."

Thinking of the 20 cents of money he spent on the carriage, he added, "But it can't be too little."

Seeing him like this, Jiang Wanwan probably understood it in his heart. He probably never sold anything, so he changed his mind. I don't even know if it was hacked.

Seeing that his thin clothes were covered with tattered patches, and he was rubbing his hands in the cold, Jiang Wanwan was full of emotion, so he stopped dawdling, "Well, I want everything in your bucket, I'll give it to you. Is it ok for a hundred wen?"

Jiang Dahai didn't expect to sell so much money at all, so he replied in a daze: "But... yes." Jiang Wanwan

paid the money, thought about it, and then asked, "Your family Is it very close to the sea?"

Jiang Dahai took the money and was very happy, so he replied one by one, "It's very close, I have nothing to eat at home, so I will eat the food from the sea.

" Some doubts, the sea is not far from their village, and their county is next to this Qufeng county, everyone should know.

But on second thought, this girl probably stayed at home from time to time, and it was normal not to know, unlike the girls from poor families who would go out to sea and work and know everything.

Jiang Wanwan pondered for a while, then asked, "Then, besides these two things, what else did you catch?"

"Yes! There are also a lot of worms with shells, and very large fish, but those Insects have no meat, they even have tongs, they will bite people and cannot be eaten."

Jiang Wanwan's eyes were hot, "I want those worms, so let's go, next time you bring me all the things you caught. , no matter what it is, I will take it for three cents a pound."

Jiang Dahai looked at her in shock, "Little girl, don't bluff me!"

Mother Qin and Qin Jingyan stared at Jiang Wanwan's purchase, dumbfounded. Seeing that she had to spend money to buy the strange bug in the bucket, Mother Qin stomped her feet and hurriedly pulled her aside, "Wanwan, how can you buy this bug? You can't buy it!"

Jiang Wanwan patted her hand and reassured her: "Mother, I have my reasons for buying it, don't worry, if it's done, it will be very fragrant!"

"But..."

Mother Qin called her eyes He was firm, although he was worried in his heart, he also compromised, "Okay... Okay."

Jiang Dahai gave up when he saw Qin's mother pulling Jiang Wanwan over, he knew that someone would buy those things and pay three cents a pound. to buy!!

He drooped his eyes and was getting discouraged when Jiang Wanwan came back and continued, "How long will it take for you to catch 100 catties of those hard-shelled worms?"

Seeing her coming back, Jiang Dahai rekindled hope again. , "I can catch enough in three days! And it's cold now, so it won't die if you bring it here!!"

Jiang Wanwan nodded, "Okay, then if you reach 100 catties, bring it to me and send it to Qin. Qin Jingchi's house in the village can be reached through walking through the east city gate for more than half an hour. If you don't know each other by then, ask the people on the road."

Jiang Dahai hurriedly responded, "Okay! I will deliver it to you. But you can't lie to me! My home is in Linxian, and it takes three hours to get here by carriage! It takes a lot of work!"

Jiang Wanwan frowned, three hours is six hours, which is too far!

After thinking about it for a while, he said, "How much does it cost you to take the carriage?"

"Twenty wens."

"Well then, you can send it to me, and I will make up for the money for the carriage."
