The escape system takes me to dig for treasures

Chapter 87 Encountering forced buying and selling

Mr. Jiang still glared at Jiang Youli, "You are almost old enough to be a grandfather, so you need to be more reliable."

When they arrived at the original street stall in the south of the city, they put down Mr. Jiang and Jiang Youli, unloaded the pot and stove filled with braised pork, Jiang Li explained some more, and then left.

Because we had to go to the west of the city to set up a stall, the whole family got up very early.

Arriving in the west of the city, along with some people who got up early to go to the market with carts or carrying bamboo baskets to set up stalls, Jiang Li also found the market here.

Compared with the south of the city, the market here is more lively. The official road does not pass here, and more local people are here, so it is more down-to-earth. Many villagers from the villages outside the city carry home-grown sweet potatoes on their backs. , radishes, or firewood cut by oneself in the mountains, firewood picked up and sold in the city, there are also purses and handkerchiefs embroidered by girls and wives themselves, etc., all kinds of things are dazzling.

Jiang Li thanked the aunt who helped guide her for a while, put the person down, and quickly found a place herself.

The stalls here are crowded together. Many stall owners have been setting up for a long time and know each other. There are people helping to reserve seats before people come. Jiang Li was driven away when she went there, and finally had to stop at the end of the street. .

But what was a bit strange was the empty space at the end of the street. Everyone seemed to have reached an agreement and avoided it. They would rather go to the opposite side and swing farther than extend it here.

In line with the principle that doing more is worse than doing less, Jiang Li vacated this position and stopped at a stall away from the stall owner next to him.

The carriage stopped, unloaded the stove, and put the pot on it. As the temperature began to rise, heat gradually rose in the pot, and at the same time it brought out the fragrance.

The stall owners in the nearby stalls who had not eaten enough began to feel hungry.

There were many local residents coming and going in the market, and people passing by were also very curious, but they were used to buying things from familiar stores.

Gracilaria is a new arrival at first glance, and everyone only watches from a distance.

Seeing this situation, Jiang Li resorted to the old trick from the first stall and asked Zhao to cut some brine and put it in a big pottery bowl.

Then he started shouting, "Don't miss it if you pass by. It's an exclusive secret braised pork. You can come and take a look and try it. It's free of charge!"

Hearing that it could be tasted piqued the interest of passers-by and aroused their craving for food.

"Can I really try it for free?"

A young daughter-in-law came over with a basket and asked Jiang Li.

Jiang Li enthusiastically handed over the bowl with a sharpened skewer on it.

My daughter-in-law is not yet the head of the family, so she is more willing to spend money. When she tasted the braised pork liver and a piece of braised pork sausage, her eyes flashed with surprise, and she hurriedly asked: "How do you sell this?"

Still based on the price sold in the south of the city, "These are braised sesame water, which costs thirty cents per catty. There is braised pork here, which costs forty cents per catty, and can be sold starting from half a catty."

"Forty pennies, that's quite expensive."

The little daughter-in-law was still in pain, so she asked again: "Can I also try the braised pork?"

Zhao's knife skills were good, so he cut off a thin slice and passed it over with the blade of the knife, but he couldn't handle it.

Give it a try, this braised pork is also delicious!

However, she was afraid of being scolded by her mother-in-law for being a prodigal, so in the end, my daughter-in-law bought half a catty each of braised sesame water and braised pork.

While Jiang Li was talking to the little woman, other guests had already gathered around and had a taste of the food. Most of them were quite measured and only ate a small piece when trying the food, but it was inevitable that some would take advantage. .

At first, some people started to buy it in twos and threes, and then an old lady shouted: "Why is there nothing in this bowl? Cut it up more, you must be stingy, this food is not strong enough at all!"

Just now there was half a bowl of braised pork offal at the bottom of the bowl, which was all eaten by the lady. Jiang Li saw it, so she didn't let Zhao add more to the bowl.

I didn't want to offend her at first, but seeing that she actually brought it up, Jiang Li asked directly: "Auntie, you like to eat so much, so I need two catties of braised pork, and two catties of braised pig offal!"

After speaking, he directly told Mrs. Zhao, "Mom, let me cut it first. I'll buy more."

"Mom, it's a total of one hundred and eighty cents. I'll ask my mother to cut up some more offal for you!"

Jiang Li made the arrangements clearly, looked at the aunt, and directly reached out to ask for money.

The aunt never expected that she would be forcibly bought and sold, and she actually paid herself so much, "I didn't ask for so much. If you can't sell it, don't rely on me."

Saying that, the aunt took the basket and left quickly with broken steps.

Jiang Li was too lazy to talk to her. She didn't even know how much money she would make in doing her little business.

"Give me these two pounds of braised pork and two pounds of offal!"

Another lady accepted the offer generously.

"Aunt Tiezhu, why are you so willing today?"

Many of the people who went shopping for groceries were acquaintances, and they couldn't help but tease the lady.

"My son-in-law is doing business and stopped by to see us. He can't buy anything good."

Since we have to entertain relatives, everyone in the family might as well eat something good.

When the son-in-law came over, the aunt, with a visible smile on her face, stood by the stall and chatted with someone for a while before leaving happily.

Because it was the first time I came here to set up a stall and I didn’t know the situation, the meat and offal that Jiang Li brought here was less than thirty or forty kilograms.

At the end of the sale, there were only four or five kilograms of pig offal left. I don’t know how Mr. Jiang and the others did with the sale, but Jiang Li planned to take the remaining bits back.

Just as he was about to pack up and leave, a thin, shabby-looking woman walked over hesitantly.

"Do you sell half a pound of pig offal?"

She grabbed a handful of copper plates in her hand and asked Jiang Lei.

"all right."

Gracilaria responded crisply, picked up the liver and intestines and started cutting them.

After being busy setting up the stall, Jiang Li and Zhao were both a little hungry. Seeing that there was a bun seller nearby who looked good, they asked Zhao to buy them, so Jiang Li could only cut them by herself.

When Jiang Li, the woman in front of her, just stopped, she noticed that this person was selling pancakes at a stall diagonally opposite, with a little girl about twelve or thirteen years old. Both mother and daughter looked sallow and thin. The pancake is a multigrain pancake with some chopped green onion sprinkled on it. The business doesn't look very good.

After she cut the pieces and put them in the bowl she brought, she poured another spoonful of marinade on them. The woman counted the coins in her hand. After counting fifteen cents, she only had three coins left in her hand.

Jiang Li lowered her head and continued to clean up the stall, but she heard Zhao's voice above her head, "Little sister?"

Jiang Li looked up in confusion, only to see the woman and Mrs. Zhao standing still in place.

When Jiang Li looked at the woman in front of her just now, she did feel that she looked familiar, but she didn't remember this person, so she didn't think much about it. Now from what her mother Zhao said, could this woman be a relative of hers?
