Chapter 98 Going to the Market 1

The village adjacent to Malutun was originally called Kuoshan Village. To this day, the older generation still calls these two villages, front and back. The village that goes out of the west entrance of the village is Wangjiazhuang.

It is said that a wealthy man surnamed Wang bought a large amount of land and renamed Qiantun Wangjiazhuang, while Houtun in Kuoshan Village was also renamed Malutun.

However, with the arrival of the Wang family's servants and reproduction for generations, this village has long become a veritable large village dominated by the Wang family.

A carriage in Wangjiazhuang was parked on the only road leading to the commune and county town. At this time, the carriage was already filled with villagers and baskets.

The boss who drove the carriage was also surnamed Wang. Seeing that he was about the same age as Aunt Liang, the relationship between the two families should be good. From a distance, Aunt Liang called out that Brothers of the Wang family had been waiting for a long time? I'm sorry.

Her old brother from the Wang family was loudly shouting: Brother and sister of the Liang family, please slow down. My brother is fucking you, why didn’t you go with you?

More than two families have a good relationship, the aunt and aunt in Wangjiazhuang are also good and very honest. They all come to push the baskets and push them in, then move them, squeeze them, and make room for them.

Guan Ping'an was held on her knees by an old lady who was like her grandmother, and she heard that they were chatting before the carriage could start.

The topic started chatting with the Guan sisters, and went to the Guan family's four sons, and accompanied by her Aunt Guan Huanxi, who was the mountain phoenix.

Then she started talking about the topic from her aunt. When the commune stopped, she knew the situation of several girls and young men with marriageable families.

It turned out that there was a matchmaker on the carriage. It was not like "having a pair of big feet, a long cigarette puff in his mouth, a lab coat, and a black fur on his face" in the opera.

The old lady in the countryside is not the one who makes a random match for money. How do you ask Guan Ping'an what he knows? You will know it by looking at Aunt Liang's attitude.

She was still praising her grandchildren, and was grateful to her for finding a good daughter-in-law for her Liang family. She now wants to think about the candidate for her eldest grandson.

The commune is about ten miles away from Malutun. If you walk, it takes more than an hour for adults, not to mention three children and one Aunt Liang who has difficulty in legs and feet.

Usually, the three brothers of the Guan family run back and forth by themselves. There are villages all the way. Except for the dirt roads, they are still bumpy, and the roads are not desolate.

Compared to walking, the speed of being able to ride a carriage to the commune is undoubtedly much faster, and it would be better if you don’t have the bumps that jumped and jumped.

The market is set up in the original vegetable market of the commune, located on the left side of the commune, and there is also a purchase station nearby, which specializes in purchasing excess agricultural and sideline products from ordinary people.

However, it happened to be the ninth day of the year, and there was a big market. Many members and comrades usually set up stalls in the market and buy some daily necessities.

When they came, the market was very lively, with people everywhere, and they were all over their eyes, such as those from the neighboring villages, and those who were selling goods in the market...

He spoke loudly, and everyone came to him with warm smiles. Almost everyone knew each other. It was a big gathering in a village!

Most of the things in the baskets in Wangjiazhuang belong to their production team. The middle-aged man who sat in the carriage the day before yesterday was said to be the accountant of Wangjiazhuang.

Because these days, I don’t want to sell some things privately, otherwise I’ll just speculate. So the accountant and boss Mr. Wang came to set up a stall to sell things from their production team.

Of course, it is still OK to sell things grown in your own fields. However, if it is rice, grain, pork, poultry, etc., it will definitely not work for private individuals.

The things in the backpack carried by the aunt in the same car were going to the next purchase station, and there was a queue of captains in front of the door.

Of course, the most common people queuing up is to sell woven products such as baskets and baskets, while the aunts have more varieties, including herbal insoles.

These things are different from the seasonal fruits and vegetables, the wild fruits and eggs on the mountain, so they don’t know how to set up stalls and always go directly to the purchase station.

When she arrived, Aunt Liang made an appointment with the old ladies from Wangjiazhuang to leave, and they all dispersed. On the way she came, she said that she would mainly buy some salt, soy sauce and other things today.

As for why not go to the agency sales center in the village?

Guan Ping'an guessed that Aunt Liang also had an objection to Widow Ma's aunt!

"Little Zhuzi pulled your sister, An An grabbed my clothes and knew, right?"

Guan Ping'an looked at the crowded thighs in the market, glanced at the stall in Wangjiazhuang not far away, grabbed the corner of her clothes, and nodded seriously, "Grandma Liang, if you can't find me, I will definitely wait for you here. There is a big tree, I saw it."

Aunt Liang was so happy that she was so young that she was still serious and serious when she replied.

Compared to Guan Xiaozhu who nodded casually to herself and was still looking around, she undoubtedly liked Guan Ping'an even more. "Wait for a moment, Grandma Liang will buy you candy. Don't you go with someone you don't know, do you understand?"

A hint of impatientness flashed in Guan Xiaozhu's eyes, and finally held Guan Ping'an's little hand and smiled, "Grandma Liang, go quickly, I will watch her."

There are not only many people in the market, but when we get closer, it is also very large inside, as big as the Malutun gravel drying ground. It seems that there are many stalls, but in fact the goods are still very single.

I just entered a small piece of land and sold vegetables in a row.

Nowadays, the vegetable gardens have just been sown, and they are basically selling some vegetables from the New Year, such as cabbage, potatoes, and radishes.

Although the acquisition station also collects vegetables and eggs, the purchase price is relatively low. If you sell it here, it will take some time, but the price will be slightly higher.

For example, this egg can usually be sold for 5 cents and 5 cents in the market. If you can only cost 5 cents at the acquisition station, it will be a full five cents.

Don’t look down on this little money. At first glance, it looks very little, but you can’t wait to break it into half a penny. If you accumulate a little, you will save a lot.

This is what her grandmother often talks about.

There are some mountain goods and wild vegetable stalls in the middle. After passing this road, there are stalls selling side foods. There are fewer types than vegetables.

Guan Ping'an saw the most vermicelli, but not many. He stood on tiptoe and raised his little head. He also saw tofu and some bean sprouts.

According to Liang Zhihong's words, vermicelli is basically a rice mill in the nearby production team. The mill can be exchanged for money or grain at the market.

You can also bring your own things, go to these small workshops in person, and pay some manual fees to process them. For example, her family uses soybeans to process them in the mill of the next door production team every year.

There are many farmers who have soaked beans in their own beans. The villagers who are not in a hurry are willing to take advantage of the big market to come here early and squat and sell slowly.

An old lady exchanged two eggs for two kilograms of bean sprouts, saying that it is common to say that eggs are replaced with salt, so she doesn’t find any money.
