After dinner, a group of people went out to buy new year goods in a lively manner.
Since they wanted to buy sausages, everyone’s destination today was Dalin Chinatown.
Affected by the epidemic, the flow of people in Dalin has also decreased a lot. People wearing masks don't look like they are here to buy new year's goods, but rather like they are here to visit the night market.
There are many Chinese people living in Dalin, with the largest number of people from Northeast China and Shandong Province. The streets are full of various signboards with Chinese characters.
There are signs that say Yanbian specialties, the famous Lanzhou Ramen, and even more outrageous, there are signs in Chinese that say authentic California beef noodles.
There are also small stores with a minimalist decoration style that say "Cosmetics Purchasing Agency" on their signboards. The slogan on the door is simple and straightforward: Customs clearance guaranteed, 7-10 days, one-piece shipping, one order to the end, formal customs declaration, formal channels.
When I came here, I felt like walking through the old streets of Chengdu. Lin Cheng felt that it had the same fireworks atmosphere as when he was a child visiting the market during the New Year.
"This handmade dumpling looks really good, Auntie! Did you make it yourself?"
Han Shuyan tried to communicate with the boss at a stall, but unfortunately the boss couldn't understand Korean, so Xiao Tong quickly started to translate.
In addition to the Koreans, many Chinese people here in Dalin do not understand Korean. Everyone must communicate in Chinese or sign language.
"These are our own handmade Northeastern dumplings, which are much better than your machine-produced dumplings."
While Han Shuyan and Xiao Tong were filling the bags with dumplings, the stall owner continued to prove that there was a reason why her dumplings were more expensive than those in the supermarket.
Lin Cheng actually had a great time chatting with this enthusiastic aunt.
"Auntie, where are you from?"
"I'm from Liaoning."
"What a coincidence?"
"Hey! Fellow fellow, are you from Liaoning too?"
"No, I'm from Sichuan."
"Haha! You are so interesting, young man. Do you have a girlfriend?"
Lin Cheng happily picked up the little girl and said, "Here! I have a daughter."
"Is your child so old? Oh yo yo! He's so good."
The little girl was hugged by Lin Cheng in a daze, her eyes wide open and she didn't know what Lin Cheng was talking about.
"This guy is talking nonsense again. He said Enxi is his daughter."
Xiao Tong quickly complained, causing Lin Cheng to roll his eyes.
The little girl huddled in Lin Cheng's arms in embarrassment, hugging Lin Cheng's neck tightly with her little hands, and couldn't help but glance at her mother secretly.
"Come down quickly and walk by yourself."
The little girl quickly buried her head in Lin Cheng's neck, pretending not to hear her mother's words.
"Come down and mom will give you money to buy delicious food."
Hearing this, Enxi's heart immediately moved, and she reluctantly asked Lin Cheng to put her down.
The aromas of various snacks on the street are mixed together, which is very tempting for children.
Zheng Shiyan took out a 10,000 Korean won and stuffed it into the little girl's hand, "Hey! Buy whatever you want to eat, but it's only 10,000 yuan, so you can buy it yourself."
"Ouch."
The little girl held on to the banknotes tightly and eagerly stared at the bowl of cake next door for a while.
The stall owner's aunt here was still weighing the dumplings. The little girl took two steps with her short legs to grab the glass cabinet next door, raised her head and timidly said:
"Eun-hee wants this."
The stall owner selling botai cake happened to be able to speak Korean and said cheerfully: "These are 1,000 yuan each. How many do you want for the kids?"
Enxi turned around and looked at her mother and Lin Cheng, who were staring at her. She counted carefully with her little fingers and then waved the banknotes in her hand.
"Five! Enxi wants five."
The stall owner quickly put five bowls of cakes in a box and handed them over, and then got the change.
The little girl stood on tiptoes and placed the bowl of cakes next to the glass cabinet. She then took the 7,500 Korean won that the stall owner had recovered and counted them carefully.
It's a pity that this girl is not good at arithmetic. After counting for a long time, she didn't know whether she was right or not.
She can't even add or subtract two-digit numbers, let alone a denomination like Korean Won.
One 5,000 banknote, two 1,000 banknotes, and a 500 coin. The little girl turned over and counted them for a long time.
Everyone was watching Enxi counting the money while suppressing their laughter.
When she realized that she was being watched, the little girl felt embarrassed and pretended to put the precious money into her pocket, then clapped her little hands.
"Enxi has counted it, and it's right."
"Is it really right? What is the equivalent of ten thousand minus seventy-five?"
"Ah~~~~This...this..."
Hearing her mother's question, the little girl held her little hands and stuttered.
Everyone finally couldn't hold back their laughter.
The little girl knew she had made a joke, pouted her little mouth, stood on tiptoes, took back the box of bowl cake and handed it to Lin Cheng.
"Uncle, eat."
Lin Cheng rubbed Enxi's little head, took a bowl cake and took a delicious bite.
"Wow! The ones Enxi bought are delicious."
The little girl grinned happily and distributed the rest of the bowl cakes to her sisters and mother one by one.
After experiencing the joy of spending money on her own, the little girl stretched her neck to observe the whole process, thinking about what to buy next time.
Unfortunately, the remaining 7,500 was too little. After discovering that a box of siomai cost 6,000, the little girl was too frightened to spend any money randomly. She held on to the remaining money and acted like a stingy person.
I want to buy everything, but I just don’t want to spend the money.
"Hey! There are durians here."
Xiao Tong asked about the taste of durian from a distance, and started teasing her in a very sinister way.
"Sister Shuyan, buy some durian and let Lin Cheng kneel down. This guy makes mistakes all the time."
Lin Cheng sneered twice and stared at his little wife's legs thoughtfully again and again.
"Sure! If you buy it, I'll show you how to open a durian with my bare hands. How about you show me how to step on a durian with your feet?"
Noticing Lin Cheng's gaze and remembering that this guy put that thing on his feet in the afternoon, Xiao Tong suddenly became panicked.
Damn it! This guy’s eyes are so lewd.
She didn't dare to sow discord anymore, and even couldn't help but quietly buckle her toes in her shoes.
Fruit prices are relatively high in South Korea, and durian is hard to find in other places, but the price here in Dalin is actually about the same as in China.
This is the most amazing thing. Many high-priced fruits and vegetables are actually very cheap here.
However, no one likes the taste of durian, so in the end, except for sausages and handmade dumplings, we didn’t plan to prepare any other New Year’s goods.
Despite this, Lin Cheng still had bags full in his hands when he returned to the city.
Part of it was cooked food to be taken back as a late-night snack, including a lot of braised pig's trotters, ribs and the like, as well as a whole pig's ear.
Lin Cheng really likes braised pig ears, but Koreans don't eat them, so the price of pig ears in Korea is very low.
The braised pig ears in Daelim Chinatown can be bought for 2,000 won each. If you were to pay this price in China, you would have to wonder if there is something wrong with the pig ears.
Besides, they were all snacks bought for little girl Enxi.
The little girl was picking at the money and refusing to spend it, but it made Lin Cheng feel very distressed.
Later, whenever Enxi looked at something twice, he would buy it and prepare to take it back for the little girl to eat slowly.
However, Ms. Zheng Siyan believed that Lin Cheng's doting behavior on Eunxi caused trouble for her in educating her daughter.
Originally, she gave Enxi 10,000 yuan to let the little girl try to arrange it by herself. Lin Cheng's behavior was a slap in her face.
On the way back, Zheng Shiyan started talking more and more.
However, she talks a lot and is always teaching Lin Cheng a lesson.
Lin Cheng did not dare to go against the stern-faced Zheng Shiyan, and accepted the punishment obediently with a low eyebrow.
Enxi pulled Lin Cheng's clothes and followed him to receive criticism and education. This style of painting made Han Shuyan and Xiao Tong laugh until their stomachs hurt.
