Hard times have room

Chapter 369 Market
Baolin came to the market, which is the small wharf of Tongmao Village.

She thought it was still early, but when she arrived, she found that there were quite a few people in the market. If nothing else, there were basically people around each booth asking questions. Although there were few people buying, most of them were Ask for a price, and see a rare and lively one, but it’s not that there are no real purchases, so come here to pick some fresh ones while it’s early.

At this time, the price is more expensive. Some people who think they have experience will choose to buy it later. The price is cheaper. If you buy more, you will get more discounts.

Pauline tightened the rope on her shoulders and walked directly over. The first stall was selling fish, all of them fresh. The fish was very big, and it looked colorful and strange. Anyway, she didn't know much, only Just looked at it casually and left.

Because she heard people next to her asking the price, this fresh fish is six cents a pound, and she can't afford it. If you don't leave, why don't you stay here and smell the fishy smell!

When she comes to the market to buy something, she wants to buy something. If she likes it, she directly asks for the price. If the price is right, she pays.

In the past, when I went shopping and bought clothes, I could get it all done within half an hour. I didn’t like shopping, it was boring.

According to the price she heard, the little money in her hand is enough to buy about 40 catties of fish, let's forget it, there is still no shortage of fish in her space, and there are more than [-] fish left from before. !
She can't sell the fish in her space now, and she can't take it out to eat with her parents, so it's not worth buying. If she eats it by herself, 45 fish will be enough for her for a long time .

What's more, it's still fresh fish, and there are a lot of dried fish in the space, which is more durable.

If she really wanted to buy fish and needed this fish, she would not have gone to the black market to sell it before, but now there is enough fish in the space for her to eat, so there is no need to sell it cheap, and now it is expensive to buy it again.

After walking around, Pauline didn't do anything. Now that the weather has gotten better, the price of this fish seems to follow the meaning of last year. For her, it is very expensive.

Of course, she didn't know what the price was last year, and she had never been there, just guessing. After all, the price was almost eight or nine times that of this time last year, which is really exaggerated.

The price of dried fish is [-] to [-] cents, and the price of fresh fish is [-] to [-] cents per pound. The difference is mainly due to the type and size of the fish. Big fish are more popular. This is certain.

Now the price of this fish, let alone those shrimp, abalone, etc., is too expensive, and all the money can't buy much. There is nothing to buy, a proper poor one.

After wandering around for a long time, Pauline finally bought a bunch of things with shells, yes, conch and oysters. These things are cheap, and things that can be picked up by prying on rocks are really not unusual, and anyone can get them. Come to sell, there is no threshold at all, and the price cannot be sold.

Most of the oysters and conch shells in the basket are only three hairs. Although the fish are too cheap, compared to the price she came here last year, these shelled things are also many times more expensive.

In the eyes of most people, things with shells seem to be just like the snails. They are not serious meat. Cheap is cheap, but they are not as affordable as real fish. Only those who are shy and want to taste seafood will buy them.

Paulin bought something, and walked around with the back basket on her back, her hand quietly reaching into the back basket covered with rags, and the contents inside would be less from time to time.

Baolin, who was originally very reluctant to recite, became more relaxed after going to more than ten stalls. Now there are more than 20 raw oysters left in the basket, which are saved for lunch.

Turning around again, Paulin only bought three catties of shrimp skin and left. Compared with other things on the market, shrimp skin is really not expensive. Three catties is a big bag, only one piece, which is really cheap. Maybe the output of this stuff High, easy to catch!

Baolin walked all the way back to Qin's house, but saw no one, only Aunt Xiang next door greeted her at the door, but before she could say anything more, the little doll in the room started to cry, she turned around I was in a hurry to bring the doll, and Paulin naturally took the opportunity to leave, lest Aunt Xiang was busy and held her to ask questions.

Compared with the Qin family who only had the two brothers and Li Ting, the uncle's family next door, Ding Na, was prosperous. There were dozens of people who were crowded together, and it was lively every day!
As soon as she arrived at Qin's house, Paulin was going to knock on the door, but as soon as she put her hand on the wooden door, it opened, and she went in very easily. nature.

There was no one in the room. No one answered when Paulin called. Obviously, this door was reserved for her. Her father and Qin Xiaoshan were probably going to the market, or the internet was still unfinished yesterday. Fishing again today.

Pauline first cleaned the oysters in her basket with grass balls. There were 28 oysters in total, not too many and not too few. Five per person was enough.

Then, she went to the kitchen and took out from the space what she had prepared the night before.

These were all "stored" by Li Ting before. That's right, on the night when she left Shanghe Village, the burlap sack in the thorn bush beside the stones in the peach forest was about [-] kilograms of grain in it. , she has not moved.

Now, the contents of the bag she took out were not exactly the same as the previous ones. The main reason was that Li Ting had a good memory and could recognize it. She had changed some things.

This bag contained more than 30 potatoes, a dozen sweet potatoes, some soybeans, and cornmeal.

In fact, there is still a chicken, but I don't know how to give it to her well. I thought about it before, but I can't think of it. I can't think of it, and then I will find a chance!
This bag, Pauline still put it at the bottom of the kitchen cabinet. After lunch, she and her father will rush home. Li Ting will be very busy after work, mainly cooking, if you can go to this place It's weird to see.

She only put things in this place once, and she didn't come to this place for seven or eight months after that. Li Ting would be vigilant about this place.

But after this time, this place is definitely not safe. If you want to bring something next time, you can't put it here. The location should be moved. Otherwise, if something is found while still here, then tell her father , then it's not funny at all, the source of this thing is unclear!
Originally, Pauline planned to put her things in this cabinet and leave, but when she thought about it, if someone accidentally discovered the consequences, she would keep it by herself, and go to the "toilet" or come to the kitchen when she left. Just grab some water and drink it, the possibility of exposure is greatly reduced, so this is safer.
