Chapter 1000 The last big episode
Today is the 28th of the year, and it is the last big episode of this year.
Although the New Year's goods at home have been prepared, it still can't stop Ye Qingqing from wanting to go shopping.
And during the last big fair, many vendors will cut prices to clear out the goods and sell out all the items so that they can get money to go back to celebrate the New Year.
At this time in previous years, you could find a lot of cheap and affordable things.
Being able to pick up leaks and join in the fun, such a good thing is naturally indispensable to Ye Qingqing.
Thinking of going to the town to catch a big market, Ye Qingqing, who usually likes to stay in bed, stopped sleeping.
The big rooster crowing at home had just crowed twice when Ye Qingqing woke up, and then quickly pushed Tang Xiaojing to wake up.
"Wake up quickly, we agreed to go to a big market today."
There were all kinds of delicious food at the market, so the two of them didn't make breakfast. After sending Chenchen to Aunt Chen to take care of them, they happily set off to the town.
Chenchen looked at the two people leaving, stretched out her little hands and grabbed them twice in the air:
"Yeah...Mom~"
Unfortunately, the two of them didn't hear the little guy's cry, so they happily set off driving the bullock cart.
Today is the last big fair. Almost every household will come to catch the big fair. The streets are packed with people, almost people sitting next to each other.
Tang Xiaojing and Ye Qingqing had just spent 2 cents to store the bullock cart. Before they reached the street of Daji, they heard the bustle of various hawking sounds.
"The big fat pig that was just slaughtered in the morning, the fat and thin pork belly! The fat and juicy big suet. Dear guests, don't miss it if you pass by. Come and take a look!"
"Tanghulu, sour and sweet candied haws. If it's not delicious, you don't have to pay for it!"
"The delicious steamed buns, the big meat buns are two cents each, the egg and vegetable buns are three cents each, and the big steamed buns are one cent each. They are delicious and not expensive. Come and have a look!"
"Mending pots, mending bowls, sharpening scissors..."
"Sweet and glutinous fried cakes, only 4 cents a piece, big crispy sesame cakes..."
……
The two of them went out before having breakfast, and they were already hungry just listening to these cries.
Ye Qingqing pulled Tang Xiaojing to the stall closest to the two of them.
This is a stall selling sesame cakes and fried cakes. There is a circle of people shopping around, all staring at the oil pan and swallowing their saliva.
With so many people, Ye Qingqing thought that the food at this stall must taste very good.
"Auntie, bring me a big sesame seed cake and a fried cake."
The aunt who was frying fried cakes raised her head and said cheerfully:
"Okay, our fried cakes and sesame cakes are all freshly made. You need to wait for a while."
"It's okay, it's okay. We'll just wait on the side. This food has to be made fresh to be delicious." The two of them waited obediently.
The stall is run by a couple, one making fried cakes and the other making sesame seed cakes.
The two of them moved very quickly, and Ye Qingqing and Tang Xiaojing had already eaten it before long.
The fried cake is crispy on the outside and glutinous on the inside, and there is red bean filling inside, which is very sweet and delicious.
Ye Qingqing took two big bites, then put the fried cake into Tang Xiaojing's hand with a smile, and then exchanged the sesame cake.
"Let me try to see if this sesame seed cake is delicious."
Ye Qingqing took a bite eagerly and almost burned her mouth.
"It's okay, the taste is average, not as good as the fried cake."
"Then you eat more fried cakes."
Tang Xiaojing put the remaining fried cake in Ye Qingqing's hand, then took the sesame cake and ate it.
Sweet and glutinous roasted chestnuts, sweet and sour candied haws, steaming big meat buns...
Before long, the two of them had their hands filled with all kinds of delicious food.
Ye Qingqing had a small appetite and only took two bites of each item to taste, and the rest went into Tang Xiaojing's stomach.
The two of them walked from the street to the end of the street, holding everything they had to eat. Ye Qingqing's belly was so bulging that she looked like she was three months pregnant.
Ye Qingqing burped and gave Tang Xiaojing all the food in his hands.
"No, no matter how delicious it is, I can't eat it anymore."
Tang Xiaojing had a big appetite and wiped out all the remaining food in a few seconds.
After eating and drinking, Ye Qingqing took Tang Xiaojing and walked around the street to eat.
In an inconspicuous corner, Ye Qingqing saw a stall selling homespun cloth.
These homespun cloths are made of linen and have a rough feel. If you wear them under them, they will be a little uncomfortable.
But the advantage is that the price is cheap and affordable, and it is quite a good blouse for working.
These homespun cloths are much cheaper than the linen cloths in the cloth shop. There are already many women surrounding the stall looking at the cloths.
Each of these women was holding a piece of cloth, with excited expressions, and they were haggling over the price with the stall owner.
Ye Qingqing also picked out a batch of dark blue homespun cloth and planned to make a few blouses after spring.
As for what to wear underneath, if you still have fabric at home, there’s no need to buy any more.
Although every household in the village has been killing New Year pigs recently, people in the town do not raise pigs, and the meat stalls are still overcrowded.
Tang Xiaojing was afraid that Ye Qingqing would be squeezed, so he pulled her and walked over quickly.
There was an old man painting sugar paintings in front of him, surrounded by a circle of chirping little kids, which looked very lively.
Seeing that there were so many people, Ye Qingqing dragged Tang Xiaojing over to join in the fun.
There are many sugar paintings that have been painted on the stall, including cute and cute fat rabbits, big roosters with their heads held high, and honest and cute big fat pigs...
Each one was painted vividly, and a group of little kids stared eagerly at the sugar paintings.
The brave ones would drag their parents over to buy them, while the timid ones would just dare to watch from the sidelines.
Tang Xiaojing saw that Ye Qingqing liked it and bought her a sugar painting in the shape of a little rabbit.
As for Chenchen, he was still young and couldn’t eat it, so I didn’t buy it for him.
Under the envious eyes of the surrounding children, Tang Xiaojing handed the candy painting in his hand to Ye Qingqing.
"Here, other kids have them."
"Thank you sir."
Ye Qingqing took the candy painting, waved it towards the children around him twice, and then ate it happily.
Ye Qingqing ate with gusto, making the children around him almost cry with greed.
At this time, the old man who painted sugar paintings made a big tiger. The tiger was painted very realistically and looked very majestic.
Thinking that Xiao Qi happens to be a tiger, Ye Qingqing bought this tiger-shaped sugar painting and planned to take it back to comfort the child.
After walking for a while, the two of them found a very busy stall in front of them. There were three circles inside and three circles outside, and it was impossible to squeeze in.
Ye Qingqing was short, and even when she stood on tiptoes, she couldn't see what was being sold inside.
Tang Xiaojing patted the middle-aged man standing in front of him:
"Brother, what is this stall selling? Why is it so busy?"
"It's a fish seller. I heard they are all big fish weighing more than 4 pounds. I plan to buy two to eat during the Chinese New Year."
Although everyone likes to eat pork, New Year’s Eve dinner pays attention to the meaning, and fish is indispensable.
Every year, almost every household will cook a fish dish for New Year’s Eve dinner. Fish is the best-selling at this time.
However, Mr. Ye just sent a big bucket of fish over a few days ago, so the Tang family has no shortage of fish.
When they heard that it was a stall selling fish, the two lost interest and walked leisurely to the next stall.
Before coming, Ye Qingqing said that there was nothing he needed to buy at home.
But after walking around on the street, the backpack behind Tang Xiaojing was filled with all kinds of things, and even his hands were full of big and small bags.
Until Tang Xiaojing couldn't walk anymore, Ye Qingqing suggested that she want to visit the small cloth village owned by her second cousin Wang Yueyafu.
Looking at the energetic Ye Qingqing, Tang Xiaojing agreed immediately. He really couldn't walk anymore.
A stroll around the streets was more tiring than a day's work in the mountains.
