Hearing He Siyu's explanation, the Deaf Old Lady was relieved. She poked her head out and asked with concern,"
"Then you have to wash up quickly. Don't hurt your eyes.”
"Ah ~"
He Siyu finally managed to get away with it, so he went down the slope and hurriedly went out to wash his face.
After calming himself down, he went back in and served the Deaf Old Lady breakfast.
By the time the Deaf Old Lady had finished her breakfast, it was almost noon.
Lunch was prepared by an auntie every day, so He Siyu didn't have to worry about it.
After chatting for a while, He Siyu left the Deaf Old Lady's place and prepared to go to the market to buy an old hen for the afternoon stew.
He Siyu lived in an alley. There were two markets nearby. One was Dongdan Market, and the other was Chaoyang Market.
Dongdan Market was within walking distance, and it took about 20 minutes to get there and back by bus.
Chaoyang Market was slightly further away, and it took 40 minutes to get there and back by bus.
However, the food in Chaoyang Market was cheap and good, and it was the largest market in Dragon City.
However, He Siyu still wanted to go to Dongdan Market for a stroll. Anyway, he had never been to these two places before, so he just treated it as having eyes.
As soon as he stepped out of the courtyard, He Siyu saw an old hen swaying at the entrance, clucking non-stop.
After seeing this old hen, He Siyu frowned slightly and had an ominous feeling in his heart.
However, this thought only flashed across his mind. He didn't pay too much attention to it. After leaving the door, he turned right and then left and right. Not long after, he arrived at the bus stop and waited quietly for the bus.
When the bus arrived, He Siyu asked for a receipt after getting on the bus and paying. He was about to go back and ask He Yuzhu for reimbursement.
Although it was only a few cents, to He Siyu, who had no income, a few cents was still money.
After all, after spending the three yuan that He Yuzhu gave him for the chicken, he would really have nothing left.
He found a seat and sat down, looking at the scenery outside the window. After waiting for the bus to drive around for more than ten minutes, he finally arrived at the entrance of Dongdan Market.
After getting out of the car, He Siyu went straight to the market.
"Hey, little kid, what do you want to buy today?”
"Aiyo, such a young child knows how to come out to buy vegetables? Good girl!"
"Whose child is this? He's so sensible at such a young age. He knows how to help buy vegetables and reduce the burden on his family."
"Little friend, look, fresh grass carp. Buy two and let the adults cook them for you.”
As soon as they entered the market, a bunch of uncles and aunties began to greet them.
They greeted He Siyu enthusiastically, wanting him to buy their own vegetables.
He Siyu smiled at them as he walked towards the living bird area.
Although it was the 1960s, the market was well planned.
It was divided into five major categories: the unfamiliar area, the fresh fish area, the meat area, the raw poultry area, and the miscellaneous area.
The unfamiliar ones sold vegetables and fruits, the fresh fish sold were freshwater fish or seafood, the meat sold were slaughtered pork, beef, mutton, and live chickens and ducks. The miscellaneous ones sold were all kinds of local specialties, such as mushrooms, Cassia, aniseed, eggs, duck eggs, and so on.
Because the live birds needed air circulation and there weren't many people around, they were often set up at the innermost position.
Along the way, He Siyu had been greeted by countless enthusiastic uncles and aunties.
Therefore, the smile on He Siyu's face gradually faded. After all, he had been greeted for so long that he was already numb.
"Uncle, how much are your old hens?”
Although he didn't have much experience in buying vegetables, let alone capturing them alive,
However, He Siyu had grown up in the countryside in his previous life, so he still had a certain understanding of the appearance of live birds.
After looking at a few stalls, He Siyu stopped at a chicken and duck stall that bought good quality live poultry.
"Yo, little friend, are you going to buy an old hen to make soup?”
"Let me tell you, the quality of Uncle's old chicken meat is very good. When you stew it with mushrooms, it's extremely fragrant!”
"Come and take a look. Which one do you want? I'll pick it for you and even kill it to remove your hair and internal organs!”
When the owner of the chicken and duck stall saw that business had arrived, he did not care that He Siyu was a child and hurriedly called He Siyu to pick the chicken.
He Siyu wasn't in a hurry because this was a useful trick for small businessmen.
"I won't reveal the price of the dishes first. When you're done picking, I'll directly weigh them for you. After you play, I'll calculate the money."
If the customer didn't ask, they wouldn't take the initiative to say,
Of course, even if he took the initiative to ask, he might not tell you immediately. Instead, he would let you choose and then decide according to the situation.
Therefore, He Siyu first glanced back and forth a few times, shook his head slightly, then smacked his lips and asked,
"Uncle, how much is this old hen?”
He Siyu did not comment on the quality of these old hens because that was taboo.
When buying vegetables at the market, one should not be in a hurry to say that the things sold by others were not good before they were sure that they wanted them.
Sure enough, even if He Siyu didn't say it, the boss frowned slightly.
After rubbing his chin and pondering for a while, he said,
"Little friend, these old hens that uncle sells are all good goods. Usually, they can't be sold cheaply."
"How about this? Since you're such a filial child who came out to buy vegetables, I'll give you a good price."
"2.50 yuan for one, you can choose whatever you want!”
He had a righteous look on his face, as if he was really giving He Siyu a super low discount.
