Chapter 19 Hanging Out

That person was none other than Zhang Lianqiao. Beside her stood a fat, dark-skinned woman with a vegetable basket on her arm, chatting and laughing with Zhang Lianqiao.

In the original owner's memory, that woman was Zhang Lianqiao's mother. If she didn't have this impression, she would have been unable to believe it.

Zhang Lianqiao was born white and tender, with a pair of beautiful almond eyes, a small cherry mouth with bright red, and a pursed smile that is even more charming.

Her mother is tall and thick, probably because she is too fat, so she doesn't look good at all.

Zhang Lianqiao's family is still a bit low-yielding, and Bei Sitian just saw that they came here in a donkey cart.

Zhang Lianqiao must have seen her, she glanced at her, pretended not to see her, and walked away holding the woman's arm. The mother, daughter and the third child of the Zhang family gradually walked away, and Bei Sitian looked away.

There is a road that leads directly to the city and the countryside. The terrain is much higher than the villages on both sides, and it is called Dalong.

Qin came across from the village. She took Bei Sitian and Luo Anping to climb up the big yard again, inspected for a week, and pointed to a person straddling a bicycle not far away.

"Is that the one with the braids?"

Bessie looked over and saw a lot of braids hanging from the handlebar of that man's bicycle, so she nodded, "Yes."

Mrs. Qin led them there, with one foot deep and one foot shallow. The main road leading directly to the city and the countryside is a dirt road, and the ground is very uneven. Occasionally, a tractor will raise yellow dust all over the sky. Noise, the environment is really not good.

When she came to the person who collected the braids, Qin took out the braids from the basket on her back and gave them to the person without asking how much it was.

The man took a look at the braids and said, "These handfuls are thirty cents each, and this ones are twenty-five cents."

The twenty-five cents is the one that Bei Sitian used to practice for the first time.

When Qin heard that the price was not bad, she didn't talk nonsense, nodded and took the money.

Although the braids don't weigh much, they take up space, and the basket is empty immediately after the sale.

At this time, it was just dawn, and the three of them got out of the big tower, and the surroundings immediately became noisy, and the tractor Sanmazi often drove past with loud noise.

Except for the dust that annoyed Beth Tian, ​​everything else was new to her, especially the power vehicles like tractors and three horses, which were completely different from horse-drawn carts and donkey carts, which made her stare intently.

Zhang Lianqiao saw her like this from a long distance, and cursed to herself that she had never seen the world, and she looked like this after a fair, if she went to the city, she would have to enter the Grand View Garden with Grandma Liu?
She dragged her mother and third brother to another place. If there were no previous incidents, she would have stepped forward and secretly competed and ridiculed.

Bessie wanted to act alone so that she could sell the handkerchief.

"Mom, I haven't been to the fair for a long time, I want to go over there and have a look." Bessian said.

Mrs. Qin is planning to sell shoes. She doesn’t sell these things, and she doesn’t have money to buy things. The people in these ten miles and eight items are all from the village, and there is nothing special to pay attention to. Hearing this, he nodded, “If we can’t be found, it’s almost the same. At 09:30, they will be waiting for us on the Dalong, where the braids were sold just now.”

Beth sweet should come down.

Luo Anping stared at Bei Sitian with staring eyes, obviously wanting to follow her around, but Qin couldn't leave the leader beside him, so he had to stay.

Although Qin's eyesight is not good, she is swift and resolute in her actions. She is not like other blind old women who fumble and tremble. If it were not for the white mist on her eyes, no one would be able to tell that she is blind.

The market here is held once every two months. The Qin family found a stall for collecting shoes. The stalls here are all set up on the village road. Although they are placed anywhere, the village committee here There is also a certain fee to be charged, so retail investors like Qin usually find places that can charge them and sell them at a low price.

The Qin family was in a hurry to buy something again, but Bei Sitian was not in a hurry, and walked around slowly. She was naturally no stranger to such a temporary market. The purchasing power is not so high now, and a temporary market is usually set up.

However, this kind of market is very inclusive. I am afraid that no one in this kind of place knows the craftsmanship of double-sided embroidery. It is probably impossible to sell it at a high price.

Beth Tian was not disappointed either, this was the first time she really started to get in touch with this world after coming here.

The bazaar looks disorganized, but in fact, the stalls are set up according to categories. Non-staple food and clothing are next to each other. Fresh fruits and raw meat are in the same category. There are also some shopping items, including children and adults. Good, but the variety is good.

Bei Sitian walked around the non-staple food side. There are more peach crisps, walnut crisps and some Shaqima, and some oblate cakes also occupy the market. There are no other pastries besides this.

Well, her name is pastry, but here they are all called dim sum.

In order to attract customers, the eldest sister who sold the goods broke a piece for her to taste. The taste is very ordinary, it seems that there is no white sugar in it, and the sweetness is not like white sugar.

These pastries are far less delicious than the pastries she makes. She still remembers that when she traveled with the master, she passed through many places and learned the snacks and pastries from many places. She made them, and even the picky master praised them.

The food was not tasty, and Beth Tian had no money to buy it. After wandering around, she walked towards the place where clothes, shoes and socks were sold.

Beth Tian has long known that this place is a relatively open place, especially that there is a lot less moral control over women. Here, women can also show their arms and legs, which she could not imagine before.

Check out the floral dresses, some even sleeveless, hanging from makeshift bamboo shelves!

There were also some undergarments and trousers on the stalls, some of which were men's. Beth Tian glanced at them, quickly looked away, and walked over quickly.

When she came to the stand selling shoes and socks, Bei Sitian saw the cloth shoes that the Qin family had been making. The price of some fine stitched ones was relatively high, and they could be bought for more than three yuan. Some of the rough workmanship cost more than one yuan. money.

Bei Sitian made some comparisons. The cloth shoes made by the Qin family are estimated to be more than one piece, and they can be sold at a cool price. It's not because of her poor craftsmanship, but because of her eyesight.

Bei Sitian planned to take a good look at Qin Shi's eyes when she had time, and when she regained her energy, she began to make the mysterious talisman.

But it's still one thing whether Qin shi let her see it or not.

This area not only sells clothes, shoes and socks, but she also saw some pots, pots and pans, and there are also towels and pillow covers not far away.

As Bei Sitian was walking, she saw a shop selling handkerchiefs next to the stall selling towels.

She walked over and found that besides the handkerchief, there was also a door curtain, which was embroidered with big peony flowers, but the embroidery was so-so, it looked rough from a distance, let alone a closer look.
