Hard times have room

Chapter 884

You must know that the current grain price has fallen off a cliff directly after the summer grain harvest. Although it is still more expensive than three years ago, it has dropped a lot compared to the previous period of time.

Rice in the black market now costs only [-] cents a catty, and coarse grains, such as sweet potatoes, cost [-] to [-] cents a catty, but the sea fish here costs [-] cents, which is [-] cents more than the white rice. Isn’t that expensive?
So, Pauline just wandered around without buying anything. She turned around and found a remote place around the corner. Under the cover of trees, she took out a fish weighing about two catties from the space. There were more than a dozen fresh fish in her space. It'll be a while, and I can't finish it, so I'll take out one today and make a tooth-making sacrifice.

The Qin family paid for the food last night and this morning, and the Qin family's life is not very easy, so it's a little bit if they can, she doesn't like to take advantage of others.

On the way back to the Qin family, the families in front of the Qin family also opened their doors, and the aunt next door to the Qin family even greeted Bao Lin.

"Dashan's daughter-in-law and her sister, you got up early enough!"

"The fish you carry are not small. Fish are expensive in the early morning. If you wait until noon to buy fish, it will be much more cost-effective."

"Hey, I got it, auntie." Pauline obediently responded.

For the rest, she can only greet her with a smile and a nod of the head, which may seem a little impolite and indifferent, but she really has no way to change the habits of her previous life!At least for now.

Facing the greetings from strangers, she would always be at a loss. Even if she thought of which starting point to answer from later on, everything had already passed, and she could only feel annoyed by herself, or even sulking at herself.

In her previous life, after working for many years, her best partner was a mobile phone, the kind she couldn’t live without for a moment. At that time, interpersonal relationships were very indifferent. That’s it, let alone ten or eight years. Even in 20 or 30 years, Pauline is not sure to completely get rid of this inertial habit.

She has been dependent on the mobile phone network for so long that she gradually forgot how to communicate with people. It took her a long time to get used to even the most basic greeting here. Of course, it was the villagers who got used to it. As for This Tongmao Village is too unfamiliar, and she has already performed normally if she can answer a sentence and call her an aunt.

The person she admired and envied the most in her past and present life was the Sheniu, so don't be too comfortable and envious.

"I'm back." Li Ting glanced casually, as if she saw a fish, so she turned her head to look at the things in Bao Lin's hand, and now she was sure.

"Pauline, why did you go to buy fish? The fish will be more expensive now, and it's the most cost-effective to buy at noon."

"However, your fish came just right. I'm going to make breakfast. Serve your fish with big white rice. Let's make fish porridge."

After all the fish was bought, Li Ting naturally wouldn't be disappointed and kept talking non-stop. Bao Lin also wanted to eat better at home after buying the fish.

"Yeah, I'll help you light the fire." As for the job of killing fish, let her sister do it!

Li Ting lives in Tongmao Village, and she eats a lot of fish, mainly in the monthly market, where she always buys some fish to eat, if not, just small miscellaneous fish or snails, these few years , although the days are sad, her complexion looks much better than when she first came to Tongmao Village.

Not to mention, sometimes, the village will organize villagers to go to the fishing village to exchange things, mainly the catches of the fishermen, and the things will be cheaper than those in the market. Therefore, she really has no shortage of fish to eat. The days of Tongmao Village , life is much better than that of Shanghe Village.

Pauline knew this because Li Ting told her last night.

When Qin Dashan, Qin Xiaoshan, and Wang Jiandang got up, breakfast was almost ready, and the three hurried to wash up. After washing, they sat by the pot, talking and waiting for the meal.

After breakfast, Qin Dashan and Li Ting went to work with their tools. Qin Xiaoshan came out with bamboo and sat in the main room to weave bamboo. The things he made can be counted as work points when they are brought to the warehouse of the brigade. .

As for Baolin and Wang Jiandang, they have no work to do and can move about freely.

The two went directly to the market. They had nothing to do, so they all went to the market.

In front of the big tree at the entrance of the market, Pauline and Wang Jiandang separated. One came here for a casual stroll, while the other came to choose things with a purpose. The two couldn’t get together. .

Of course, the main reason is that neither party wants the other to see what they bought and how much they spent.

Everyone has little secrets, why bother with them!This can make both parties uncomfortable.

Pauline didn't go to see the fish. There are more than a dozen fresh fish in her space, and there are more semi-dried salted fish, at least 20 more. Except for the ones that were sold to the black market that year, she also ate a few. One piece of fresh fish, and the rest, she hasn't touched much, there are still a lot left.

So, what Pauline looks at is things with shells in the market, all kinds of snails, and shellfish, or the kind that you just look at but don’t buy. Maybe these things will be cheaper later, so she still doesn’t want them now. It's better to buy, otherwise, it may be said again.

Although, it's nothing to be said a few words, but she is such an adult, she should save face, okay?
In addition to seafood, of course there are meats in this market, but Pauline looked at the long queue, she gave up, just that queue, she was not sure if she had to stand in line for an hour or two, waiting for her turn. If you come to yourself, there will be something to sell.

After all, the team looked like there were 50 or [-] people, not to mention those who jumped in line wantonly because there were people in the team.

In addition to meat, there are also those who sell bamboo products, odds and ends, daily necessities such as needles and threads, and those who sell twisted twists.

There is a circle of children around the mahua booth. Every time the oil pan is heated up and the mahua is cooked, those children will sniff the surrounding air vigorously. They wish that they can directly suck the hot oil in the pot into themselves through this method. in the nose.

"Hey, you give way and block my business, just you bastards, directly surrounded my booth, how can I do business!"

The stall owner who sold twisted twists, although his words were not very pleasant, but as soon as he finished speaking, he broke the fried twisted twists that had been cooled down into small pieces and handed them to the children opposite him. His movements were very proficient.

After shopping for half an hour, Pauline couldn't move anymore. At first, it was a novelty, and later, she just watched the excitement, but she has always been enthusiastic about the excitement for 3 minutes, and when the time came, exhaustion came to the door.

In the end, she found a stone slab to sit on. There were branches above her head, and she was still a little away from the market. She could only faintly hear the noise of the market. This was a good place to rest.
