Chapter 12 Eyes on the Vegetable Market
Chapter 12 The wet market is an eye-opener
The two were happy when suddenly a burst of music sounded in the car.
Ye Yu was startled, and turned around to see Sister Sang taking out that chicken from her pocket, sliding her fingers and starting to speak.
"A Ming? I'm busy. What's the matter?"
"What else can I do? Of course it's about eating. The last dish will be ready soon. Come back quickly."
"Eat? I..."
Sang Qi didn't agree at all, because she knew that Xiao Yu'er was quite afraid of strangers. Before, she went to the house to take a bath and change clothes because she knew that her brother was still sleeping. Now when she goes back, Xiao Yu'er will meet her brother.
She will definitely not be natural by then, and Xiao Yuer can't eat any food just after the operation. It would be a bit cruel to go back and watch herself and A Ming enjoy the spicy food.
So after thinking for a moment, Sang Qi refused.
"I won't go back to eat today, I'm busy."
Sang Ming over there didn't ask any more questions, just muttered a few words and then hung up.
"My brother really reminded me, it's almost one o'clock now and we should go get something to eat."
While starting the car, Sang Qi quickly filtered through the surrounding restaurants in her mind, and finally decided to take Xiao Yu'er to a sweet shop. The location was a bit far from the hospital, but very close to the pier. She could drop her off after eating in a while.
go home.
"You have to eat too much now. How about I take you to have some brown sugar porridge?"
Ye Yu's eyes suddenly brightened when she heard about the candy, but she became sleepy when she thought about spending money.
Today, Sister Sang did not charge for her surgery and medicine, and even gave her new clothes and shoes. It was already very expensive, so how could she be asked to pay for dinner again?
Ye Yu subconsciously wanted to speak, but when his tongue hurt, he remembered that he couldn't speak, so he shook his head to express that he didn't want to eat.
She was very strong-willed, but her stomach didn't live up to her expectations. As soon as she shook her head, her stomach growled, which made Sang Qi laugh.
"You girl, I told you not to be so open-minded to me. And the crabs you sold to my family are really valuable. I didn't pay a high price because I wanted to help you. If you don't believe me, I will take you to see them later."
Sang Qi decided to take this girl to the vegetable market to learn more about the market before eating, otherwise she might not be able to eat at ease.
The crabs she brought today weighed at least 17 or 18 pounds, and could be sold for about 5,000 yuan at 310 pounds. And the minor tongue-tie surgery only took over 300 pounds, which is nothing at all.
The clothes and shoes cost less than one thousand. So she didn't have to be embarrassed at all. She had to make up the money.
Sang Qi knew that the little girl would not believe what she said, so she drove her directly to a stop outside a nearby vegetable market.
"Come on, let's go in and take a look."
Ye Yu looked around and saw that there were fewer carts and more two-wheeled carts here. Most people had bulging bags in their hands, and she could only recognize a few green vegetable leaves.
What on earth did Sister Sang want to take her to see? The little girl held Sang Qi's hand tightly and followed her into the market.
As soon as the two walked in, various smells mixed together and hit their faces, as well as the buzzing voices, bargaining, arguing, and hawking, all mixed together to make it very noisy.
Ye Yu often sets up stalls at the pier, so she accepts these sounds well. She stares at the various stalls on both sides of the aisle without blinking, almost unable to walk.
Oh my god!
It's winter! There are so many juicy vegetables for sale! Ye Yu, who has been eating pickles and wild vegetables in winter, was shocked.
She swallowed her saliva and really wanted to stop and ask about the price of these vegetables. Grandma liked to eat radishes and leeks very much. But since she was kicked out, the vegetable field also belonged to her grandparents. She and Grandma had not eaten for a long time.
Fresh radish and chives.
"Little Yu'er, come here~"
Sang Qi didn't stop and took Ye Yu directly to the place selling seafood.
There are a wide variety of seafood here, ranging from shrimp clams to lobsters and king crabs. There are also a variety of dried seafood and seaweed and kelp.
The two stopped in front of a stall selling blue crabs.
"Boss, how much does your blue crab cost per pound?"
"One hundred and eighty one kilograms! Girl, look at these crabs. They are all freshly caught. They are definitely the biggest in this area, and if you get your hands on them, you will see that the shells are oily and the meat is hard. They are definitely not parallel imports!"
The boss praised his blue crabs and enthusiastically caught one and put it in front of the two of them for a closer look.
Ye Yu's first impression was that it was so small.
Not only this one, but the other blue crabs in the cage were also very small, not even half as big as the blue crabs I caught.
One hundred and eighty-one pounds, is it one hundred and eighty cents?
That's too expensive...
Sang Qi pinched Ye Yu and raised her eyebrows to show that what she said was true.
"Sister, do you want these blue crabs? If so, I'll make them cheaper for you."
"No, it feels a bit small. Let's go around again."
Sang Qi returned the crab to the boss and pulled Xiao Yu'er forward. She didn't go far when she heard the boss muttering from behind that his blue crabs were the biggest in the market and he would definitely go back to buy his crabs.
She just smiled and said nothing. If there were no Xiao Yuer's green crabs, she might actually pick a few and go back. Now that she has eaten Xiao Yuer's top quality blue crabs, she no longer likes those small crabs.
"Look, what I told you is true. The quality of your crabs is much better than the crabs here. You can even sell it for 300 yuan. After excluding the surgery and medicine, there is still a lot. I will give it to you later.
I’ll give you money, but don’t refuse me again.”
This time Ye Yu was not so determined.
She just doesn't want to take advantage of others in vain, but she won't just push away what she really deserves.
The blue crabs here are indeed much worse than our own, which shows that Sister Sang is not exaggerating to help herself.
However, no matter how much money you sell here, you can’t use it when you take it back, so why not...
Ye Yu blinked and had an idea, why not buy some food here and take it back to my mother-in-law!
You don’t have to worry about vegetables spoiling in winter. If you buy a few more radishes, you can eat them for several meals. Moreover, radishes have a light smell, so you don’t have to worry about anyone smelling them.
The more she thought about it, the more excited she felt, so she decided not to leave. She took Sang Qi's hand and pointed to the vegetable stall selling radishes to express that she wanted to go there.
"You want to buy groceries?"
Ye Yu nodded.
Sang Qi was stunned and immediately realized, yes, there is no good food to eat on a remote island, and she really should buy some fresh food back home.
"Let's go and buy some food first. By the way, do you want to buy some meat? When I just came in, I saw that the beef was pretty good. Let's buy some later?"
beef!!
Ye Yu suffocated for a moment.
Although the Baishui Bay where she is located has little arable land along the coast, and the killing of cattle is not prohibited, cattle are still very precious livestock and will not be killed easily. Let alone eating beef, she has never even touched cattle hair once in her life.
So, should you buy it now?
She was a little hesitant, mainly because she didn't know the price of meat and was afraid that she couldn't afford it and asked Sister Sang to pay for it.
Seeing her hesitation, Sang Qi thought she was uneasy because she had never eaten it before, so she started talking about the taste and benefits of beef.
Ye Yu didn't remember much of the others, but only one sentence he remembered deeply.
Beef is rich in nutrients. It can nourish qi and blood, strengthen the spleen and stomach, and strengthen bones. It is very nourishing!
Anyway, just one sentence, good things, she wants to buy them!
