There were so many people in the market like a lot of ants. Mei Niang and I finally squeezed into the crowd and headed towards the innermost direction. Many passers-by looked at me with strange eyes. I knew that I was different.
With my short hair, too-short clothes, and my height, I am really conspicuous. Wow! Standing in the crowd, I feel like I stand out from the crowd! Only now do I know that I am 1.78 meters tall.
How tall for the people here! Most of the men here are over 1.6 meters tall and under 1.7 meters tall. There are not many big men as tall as me. The women are even shorter, generally over 1.5 meters tall.
I'm under 1.6 meters, which is pitifully short (for me). No wonder Mei Niang doesn't doubt that I'm a woman!
I ignored their envious glances and carefully observed the people and things around me. The people here were very mixed. It could be seen from their clothing that they were from different races. The most unexpected discovery was that some people in the crowd turned out to be blue.
Eyes? Hey! So there are foreigners here too? There are a lot of people doing business. There are small stalls built with bamboo on both sides of the road. There are various items in the stalls, as well as a lot of street snacks.
…
"Husband, let's go to the fish stall in front and buy some fish! Tonight, I'll cook a rich meal for you!" Mei Niang said, pulling me towards the fish beach in front.
The fish seller is an old man. He is skillfully setting up the fish rack and sorting the fat and big fish on it. It seems that he has just started to set up the stall.
"Uncle! I want these two fish." Mei Niang pointed at the two big fat fish on the fish stall and said.[
"Okay!" The uncle grabbed the two fat fish that Mei Niang selected in front of him. He used the kitchen knife on the side to skillfully cut the scales and open the fish's belly...
I looked around curiously and found a large number of people gathered around on the left. I didn’t know what they were looking at. Many passers-by stopped and gathered around to watch.
"Meiniang, wait for me here, I'll go over there and have a look." After I said that, I walked into the crowd, ignoring Mei Niang behind me who was shouting: "Husband, husband, wait for me!"
