The king also went all the way to the other end of the village.
This was a three-way intersection, which could be considered a small gathering point for the nearby villages.
Villagers from various villages would come here to buy and sell things and do some agricultural business.
However, most of them were old men and women from the countryside, so they sold some agricultural products.
Wang Ye's three yuan per catty carrot caused a commotion in the county town, but no one would care about it in the countryside.
After all, in the village, every household spent one yuan in two yuan. Who would be willing to spend three yuan on a catty of carrots?
He came here today not to sell things, but to buy carrot sprouts.
Wang walked into the crowd as well, his eyes slowly scanning the pile of dishes on the ground.
At this moment, every household took out the vegetables that were in season to sell.
Vegetables were the most abundant thing in the countryside.
The price was shockingly cheap.
It was a small vegetable that cost 70 to 80 cents per catty.
Those of lower quality were sold for one yuan each.
Wang also bought some vegetables, and then spent three yuan to buy a big bundle of carrot seedlings.
Just as he was about to leave, he was suddenly attracted by a crowd in front of him.
The crowd was a little noisy.
King was also standing not far away and heard a few people discussing loudly.
"Isn't this Indocalamus? Good heavens, this is a rare item here!”
"Isn't that so! The Dragon Boat Festival is in four days. Everyone uses reed leaves to wrap dumplings. I didn't expect you to get Ruo Zhu leaves! Not bad!"
"I heard that bamboo leaves are much more fragrant than reed leaves when used to wrap dumplings! Those were things that could only be grown in the southernmost area! I haven't tasted it yet!"
"I wonder if it's as fragrant as the legends say!”
……
Indocalamus?
King was also stunned.
He had heard of this plaything before.
To be more precise, he had eaten rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo.
These days, online e-commerce was a blank sheet of paper. Every household basically used local materials.
During the Dragon Boat Festival, dumplings were made differently in the north and south.
Indocalamus, reed leaves, banana leaves, and so on.
The place where the king was at was neither south nor north. The water was vast, so there were many reeds.
In this place, the rice dumplings were basically wrapped with reed leaves.
Over time, it became a habit.
Now that someone had suddenly brought the Ruo Zhu leaves over, it naturally aroused curiosity.
Wang also thought about it and stuck his head out to look.
He took a look.
His eyes lit up.
He saw a short middle-aged man wearing a shabby straw hat.
He sat on the curb and smoked a pipe. He took a deep puff and blew out a smoke ring with a smug look on his face.
In front of him was a plastic bag.
There was bamboo inside.
The reason why Wang Ye's eyes lit up was simple.
His Indocalamus was actually dug up from the roots!
There was a long bamboo root that looked like a centipede.
Occasionally, branches would grow out from the joints, with bamboo leaves growing on them.
Because the roots still had soil, the Indocalamus leaves looked especially fresh.
Beside the bag was a thick stack of bamboo leaves.
It was spraying water and looked green and beautiful.
"How much are your Ruo Zhu leaves?”
someone asked curiously.
The middle-aged man smiled." Three yuan per catty. I had to carry it all the way here. This thing is delicious to wrap up and eat!"”
Three yuan per catty.
Good fellow!
This reed leaf was only one yuan per catty!
This was a total of three times!
The middle-aged man smoked his cigarette calmly, as if he was not worried that no one would buy it.
In fact, he had carried her all the way from the south.
If they were sold along the way, they would have a high freshness and would be easier to survive.
Although the price was a little high, many people would spend one or two yuan to buy a fresh one.
Basically, they were all for their children.
It was the Dragon Boat Festival.
Sure enough, after watching for a while, someone began to make a move.
"Give me one yuan! Make a few for my grandson to try!"
"Then I'll buy one yuan too! He couldn't bear to buy more, but this one yuan should be enough!”
"I'll take a 50 cent one!"
……
A group of people started to buy it.
Wang Ye stood at the side and waited until the group of people had finished buying before he walked over.
When the middle-aged man saw King walking over, he waved his hand casually and said,"It's already sold out. If you want to buy it, wait until tomorrow!”
"I'm not here to buy Indocalamus leaves." Wang shook his head.”
The middle-aged man was stunned.
"Then what are you buying?"
He was amused.
"I don't have anything here other than indocalamus leaves!”
The middle-aged man said as he looked down at his stall.
"Why else would you still come to buy this Indocalamus Root?" he asked suspiciously.”
If this Indocalamus root left the soil, it would die in a few days.
Most importantly, this place was not suitable for planting Indocalamus.
Could he be…
"Okay, name your price."
Wang also smiled and squatted down. He stretched out his hand and fiddled with the bamboo root in the bag. He smiled and said,"How many of these Indocalamus roots do you have?”
The middle-aged man was puzzled.
"Why did you buy this?"
"I heard that this can be used as medicine. I'll buy some and try it out.”
The king also lied casually.
