The next day.

Chen Xiaoduan rushed to the auditorium of the "Provincial Folk Art Association" early in the pre-arranged three-wheeler to attend the artistic performances and the award ceremony.

Luo Xuan and her split up and went straight to the Erxianqiao Frog Market in Rongcheng City.

Go to the show and go on stage to receive an award.

And then take a photo with the leaders, standing in front of the black and white camera?

The worst thing is that at the end of the day, I'll have another meal with someone else.

In Luo Xuan's eyes, this kind of thing is not as satisfying as going to the frog market and selling it back for a sum of money!

therefore,

Luo Xuan then asked Chen Xiaoduan to attend the award ceremony alone.

If the organizing committee allows it, just take back your own trophy and certificate.

wrong!

It's okay in the afternoon. I can go to the treasurer of the Folk Art Association and pay the fare for my arrival.

By the way, I'll also collect the money for the return ticket.

Well, this is very important!

They say spring is good in February.

But in February, there are no mushrooms for sale in the market, and occasionally there may be hot springs in the mountains.

Only occasionally do a few mushrooms sprout.

In the Erxianqiao Market in Chengdu, there are people selling everything.

But when it comes to selling mushrooms, it’s really hard to find them.

this time,

In order to sell the mushrooms in the space, Luo Xuanke spent a lot of money: he even spent 15 yuan, 37 cents, and bought a small kerosene stove in the department store of the Provincial Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

As for saying,

Why buy a kerosene stove and spend a lot of money?

That was also a characteristic of this period: all prices were carefully calculated by the Planning Commission based on production costs.

The supply and marketing cooperatives can only follow the retail prices set by the Planning Commission and the Price Committee.

You can't afford a penny more, and you can't afford a penny less. According to this price standard, go out and sell the goods.

Located in the south of Chengdu, Erxianqiao is a large frog market.

And it is said that this is just one of 7 or 8 frog markets of similar size in Chengdu.

Especially one of them, called Lotus Pond Market, is so huge in scale!

At this Erxianqiao frog market.

The crowds are bustling and crowded.

After all, it is now difficult to obtain food in the production team. This has caused countless members to flock to the city in search of work.

Since they are in a provincial capital, they have no food supply relationship.

so,

These migrant workers who have poured into the city need to go to this frog market to buy all kinds of materials they need.

When there are more people, various needs become more complicated.

Therefore, at the Erxianqiao Frog Market, there is nothing unexpected but nothing unseen.

All kinds of daily commodities are available here.

Clothes sold by the pound are also rags sold by the pound.

Stacks of old newspapers, piles of tobacco.

Pickled salted fish, smoked bacon, smoked sausages, fake beef pretending to be old sow pork...

Those who sell ancestral secret recipes, those who specialize in treating infertility, those who make powerful pills for bruises, tiger bones, musk and leopard heads...

That's everything.

On-site activities include weaving bamboo dragontails, weaving crickets, making sesame shell cats, painting sugar paintings, pulling sesame candy, knocking tin candies, selling candied haws, and fried cakes...

It is simply all-encompassing, diverse, and full of wonders.

It is indeed a big place!

The things sold in such a small frog market are better than those sold on the streets during the Chinese New Year in the entire Hongxing Commune.

It’s even more lively and prosperous!

Needless to say, there are stalls selling higher-end items.

Let’s talk about the guy selling rat poison earlier.

The lively scenes he caused were enough to make the lonely and bored members of the rural production team watch him all day long:

“Don’t miss it if you’re passing by! Check out my secret rat poison that has been passed down from generation to generation for 18 generations!

Known as the five-step fall.

As long as your rat takes my medicine, if it dares to take five steps forward, if it doesn't fall, my uncle will!"

At that moment, there were some onlookers who were looking for something good, and they laughed and said, "What if the rat eats your rat poison and walks back?"

The hawker selling rat poison glared: "Comrade, you are just trying to make a point, aren't you?

I said, why do you look so familiar?

It turns out that you are from the production team next door, that stubborn donkey that won’t lead you away and is picking up the goods that are going backwards.”

There are also people who enjoy watching the fun and don't mind it being a big deal.

One sentence popped up from the crowd: "Hey, I'm talking about selling fake rat medicine. Does your stuff work or not?"

The rat poison seller was furious, "Come here, try a few pills, I will give them to you for free! I guarantee that the first pill you eat will taste good."

After eating the second one, hey, it's still a little sweet.

Eat the 3rd or 4th pill, and I’ll make sure you finish playing! Come on, come on, don’t leave, comrade, I’ll give you a handful and let you try it...”

I saw these people who were running around and selling fake medicines. They were very eloquent and lively.

There were bursts of cheers among the crowd...

No wonder!

Many people are used to living in big cities and would rather suffer a little in the city than go back to remote rural areas.

Being in a big city can open your eyes!

If nothing else, let’s just say that every day we see the wonders of free people and the weirdness of free things.

You can also eat sauerkraut for free...

This is not,

At a stall not far from Luoxuan, a guy was shouting: "We no longer sell sauerkraut, we sell sauerkraut today! I will give it to everyone to try for free. I come from the south of Taihu Lake and produce authentic sauerkraut."

Industrial sauerkraut.

You take it back and cook the noodles, mix it with the dumplings, and eat it how you like, how sour and refreshing it is!

The old man will not cough after eating it, and the child will not lose it after eating it! If you buy it for 2 cents per catty, you will not suffer a loss; if you buy it for 3 cents and 1 tael, you will not be deceived..."

Bashu Province itself is a famous kimchi province.

Here, no matter whether it is in the city or in the countryside, every household basically has 1 or 2 pickle jars in it.

This guy actually came to Bashu territory with sauerkraut to sell?

Everyone doesn't know if he is just showing off his brain or if he has real abilities. New

In short,

No matter how hard he shouts or how sensational he yells, most people come to his stall to watch the excitement.

I actually paid for it, but I don’t have any of it.

In the end, this guy had to resort to his big move: "Come, come, come, everyone comes and eats for free, tastes for free!

As long as I can make everyone happy today, I've just spent all my money, so what's the problem?

Travel around the world and make friends. The days when I rely on big guys to make a fortune are definitely in the future!"

As he shouted, he came out.

The crowd of people watching suddenly became noisy.

It wasn't that these people were interested in hearing his shouting, but they were attracted by his big move of "eating for free".
