The next morning, Lin Qian got up late again.

Gao Xiaoan has already heated up the steamed buns and cooked an egg for each of them.

After Lin Qian got up, she quickly heated a pan with oil, fried a sauerkraut, and added the unshakable bowl of malted milk every morning.

"Sissi, I think this malted milk has a much lighter taste." Gao Xiao'an frowned after taking a sip.

"Really? Maybe the formula of Harbin malted milk is different from ours." Lin Qian said calmly and casually.

That bottle of malted milk was mixed with skimmed milk powder in the space, so the taste was of course weak, otherwise how could it last so long.

Fortunately, Gao Xiaoan never bothered with this, and she even felt that what Lin Qian said made sense.

A person is nourished by the soil and water, so maybe Harbin would like to drink something with a lighter taste and a stronger milky flavor.

After eating, Lin Qian took a few candies and went out to find Wang Guihua. She had to find out how the market in the next village went.

If they were bartering, they would have nothing to exchange except cloth.

"Of course not!" Wang Guihua took Lin Qian to sit in a small room after hearing her purpose.

This room is a single room separated from a large room, and can only accommodate a one-meter small bed and a small table.

But such a small space is the envy of many girls in the village. Who doesn’t want to have his or her own room?

Nowadays, there are still families where all the brothers and sisters are crowded on the same kang, with a curtain in the middle.

"It's okay, you can just sit on the bed. It's getting cold now, so I've moved back to my parents' side to sleep on the kang." Wang Guihua took out a bowl of roasted chestnuts and invited Lin Qian to eat.

"Smells good!" After Lin Qian ate one while it was hot, she immediately gave a thumbs up and praised.

Wang Guihua said happily, "I buried it in the stove when I was cooking this morning. You can try it next time."

After watching Lin Qian stop after eating a few, Wang Guihua stretched out her hand and said, "Qian Qian, aren't the chestnuts delicious? Let's make friends?"

ha? Lin Qian blinked, her expression dull.

But she couldn't help but reach out and hold Osmanthus fragrans's hand. Hey, what a touch!

"Hahaha, no, Sissy, your expression is too stupid, as if you are engaging in a spy connection!" Wang Guihua held her belly and laughed.

Lin Qian glared at her angrily, "What kind of secret agent contact? This little girl is more arrogant than herself!"

He spread his hands and found a folded dime inside. It turned out that things could be exchanged like this in the market. In any case, being able to use money is good news.

Wang Guihua reached out and practiced with Lin Qian a few more times, and then said: "It's okay, just practice more later. I also practiced secretly for a long time when I first learned about it."

"Who came up with this idea?" Lin Qian thought to herself, it felt a bit like a joint.

"I don't know, several villages do this. What do you want to exchange for when you go to the market tomorrow? I'll tell you what the prices are. Don't let anyone coax you into going."

Lin Qian sighed, "You also know that we have just arrived and are lacking everything. The eggs we eat now are all given by Aunt Dani, so we have to replace everything."

When I go to the next village to go to the market tomorrow, there is no bullock cart ride. I can only walk there, and I won’t be able to buy much.

Wang Guihua said in surprise: "Eggs? Why don't you change them in the village?"

"Whose family in the village has more eggs? Can't each family only raise two chickens?" Lin Qian wondered, thinking that one hen laying one egg a day was not enough for the whole family.

"Who eats eggs every day? Eggs are only eaten by children and postpartum women." Wang Guihua said matter-of-factly, "Last time you went to the county, there were two baskets of eggs on the oxcart. My family is saving money from selling."

After listening to Guihua's explanation, Lin Qian realized that the supply and marketing cooperative did not collect everything. Except for the slaughterhouses that collected the prey caught in the village, she had to eat the rest by herself.

"I have eggs at home, do you want me to sell them to the supply and marketing cooperative for 30 cents a pound?"

Lin Qian waved her hand, "Okay, I want as many as I want!"

At 30 cents per pound, this price is not too cheap!

Wang Guihua's family didn't store many eggs. After all, a batch had just been sold, so she took Lin Qian to several stores and bought nearly ten kilograms of eggs in total.

The egg sellers are also very happy and get their money back quickly! Each one said enthusiastically that they could continue to come home to change after eating.

"That's basically the price at the market. Please prepare some extra change tomorrow."

"Okay, see you tomorrow!" After making an appointment to go to the market together tomorrow morning, Lin Qian went back.

The next morning, before dawn, she and Gao Xiaoan got up to make breakfast. After eating, they left Maomao at Uncle Wang's house. There were already many people scattered at the entrance of the village.

Waving towards Osmanthus fragrans, the two started chatting together. The main purchaser today was Lin Qian.

Gao Xiaoan and Li Aihong, the women's director of the village, walked together. They were going to the infirmary in the next village. According to Secretary Wang's words, they first prepared the infirmary in Heilingtun.

There are a lot of people in the village next door, and the market is in the village's drying yard. I heard from Guihua that this market does not happen every month, but only during slack seasons.

Osmanthus separated from Lin Qian at the entrance of the market. She had relatives here and wanted to send something to her relatives' house. The two agreed to meet at the entrance of the village in an hour.

Lin Qian carried a big basket today. According to the price Guihua said yesterday, she bought five kilograms of dried noodles, ten kilograms of rice, one kilogram each of fungus, mushrooms, mushrooms and other dry goods, and three kilograms of apples, frozen pears, and persimmon cakes.

I saw someone selling crucian carp and old tofu. I haven’t had fish head and tofu soup for a long time. Buy it!

In addition to food, I bought two kilograms of cotton. This is the most expensive thing today. In the north, things are rare and expensive.

I bought five pairs of shoes with thick soles, and all my grandparents’ cotton shoes were found.

Rabbit skins can be used to make hats, buy them!

I haven’t tried the smoked chicken and dried roe deer, I’ll buy them!

Lin Qian's eyes widened when she saw someone selling ginseng at the market.

There is no ginseng farming these days. This is genuine and natural, real ginseng!

Although the ginseng is only the size of a palm, it is a wild ginseng from Northeast China, and the soil on it is still fresh, as if it had just been dug out.

"Sister, I don't have much money, so I just want to exchange some pieces of cloth for my daughter to make a wedding dress so that she can send her out." The uncle selling ginseng said with a smile when he saw Lin Qian staring at the ginseng.

"Old Lin, they say it would be great if you go directly to the county to sell it, but you want to set up a market first to see who has extra cloth these days!"

The uncle selling hares next to him shook his head. There were so many people from all over the country coming to the market, and they just came to watch the fun. Which of them could afford to buy it?

I have it! There is a lot of cloth in my space! Lin Qian howled in her heart!

Rolling her eyes and weighing the risks in her mind, Lin Qian made up her mind and said calmly: "Uncle, my surname is Lin, my name is Lin Qian. I am from the Black Ridge Tun Brigade. I am tired and thirsty after walking here. I wonder if I can go to your house on the pretext of drinking water.”

Fortunately, Uncle Lin was quite enthusiastic, and he probably felt that Lin Qian's small body was not a threat, so he said very readily, "Okay, my house is right there, and my wife and baby are both at home!"
