Chapter 692 Mu Guiying: I can summon a holy formation with just one word!
A group of five people drove to the town.
There was still some distance from the market, and the whole street was blocked. Li Yu looked at the situation and simply turned to the food factory not far away, and then walked to the market.
Yunxiao hadn't been to the big show yet, so he asked curiously:
"With the stall set up so early, they will have to get up early in the morning, right?"
Li Yu said:
"When I was a kid, my neighbor went to the market to sell pots. He often got up at two or three in the morning. Even then, he might not be able to grab a good seat. When he met an old market, he almost had to go a day or two in advance."
The annual old market seems to last only one day, but it is busy for several days. In addition to the main day, there are also a large number of vendors gathered on the day before and the day after, and the people around will come here repeatedly.
In the past, there was no online shopping. In a large market, almost all the materials needed for the next year would be purchased. Therefore, at the large market, you can see materials covering all aspects of life, such as livestock transfers, tractors and farm tools, furniture and home appliances, clothing department stores, and non-staple food seasonings. .
In addition, there are various service stalls, including those who repair shoes, nail nails, and renovate leather clothes.
Of course, the most important thing is all kinds of food. People who go to the market need to eat, and the vendors who set up stalls also need to eat. No matter what the size of the market, food is always the core theme.
The rally was held in a huge square, but because there were too many people, the main road in the town was also filled with stalls, and passing cars had to take a detour outside the town.
As soon as a few people arrived at the intersection, they saw someone selling Duozi mutton, and next to it was a stall selling oven-roasted biscuits.
Mu Guiying asked:
“How do you eat this?”
Li Yu said:
"Buy a sesame seed cake and add some mutton. There are many stalls in the market that cooperate with each other."
The stall is independent, but the sesame cakes alone are a bit bland, and the mutton alone is not suitable. The combination of the two is perfect.
In rural markets, there are many similar stalls that match each other.
Li Yu bought five freshly baked sesame cakes and sandwiched some mutton from the stall next door.
Cut the porcelain-solid mutton into thin slices with a razor blade, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and put it into the sesame cake. The heat immediately brings out the aroma of the mutton.
"Well, it's delicious. This is a sandwich suitable for Chinese babies."
Mu Guiying took a bite of the sesame cake and immediately fell in love with this delicacy. She even wanted to buy another one to take with her in case she couldn't find a similar stall when she went in.
Li Yu said:
"There are a lot of things in it. Eat less sesame seeds, or you will be too stunned to eat them later."
"Tch, ever since I was little, there has never been a time when I couldn't eat."
Mu Guiying didn't believe she could hold on, so she followed Li Yu forward. After just a few steps, she came across a stall selling fried goods, including dumplings, banana leaves, twists, mung bean candy cakes, red bean candy cakes...
All kinds of fragrant fried noodles attracted the attention of several people.
Li Yu ordered some of everything, and also bought a sticky bun, which is relatively rare in recent years.
The so-called sticky buns are made from fermented millet noodles, then sliced and fried. The fried sticky buns are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a rich sweet aroma. Li Yu had eaten it several times when he was a child, but he had never eaten it in recent years.
He bought some, and now the sticky buns are filled with fillings. They are somewhat similar to fried jujube cakes, but the thickness is different, the size is also very different, and there is an extra step of sprinkling sugar.
After putting it in the box, the store will sprinkle some sugar to add sweetness.
Diao Chan likes this glutinous delicacy very much:
"It's delicious. You can really eat extraordinary food when you go to the market."
Yunxiao ate these delicacies and kept observing the people coming and going. Some people purchased ingredients for winter storage in advance, some prepared pickled sauerkraut and pickled radishes, and some bought new clothes and various toys with their grandchildren.
Everyone was in a hurry, and everyone had a happy and satisfied expression on their faces.
From the perspective of gods, the real world is not perfect. There are still various disadvantages, such as the life span of mortals is too short, there are too many types of diseases, and there are wars and regional conflicts abroad.
But compared to the world in the book, this place is more beautiful than heaven. Medicine is booming, wars are only abroad, and people at home are still enjoying tranquility and peace. As for material aspects, not to mention, in the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, nails were imported. , just over seventy years ago, the country has already begun preparations to build a lunar base.
Moreover, China as a whole is now the only major manufacturing country in the world, and is called Industrial Cthulhu by foreign netizens.
Seeing that Yun Xiao was deep in thought, Li Yu even forgot to eat the hanging stove biscuits and meat, so he raised his hand and waved it in front of her:
"This place is noisy and no one is allowed to enter meditation!"
Yunxiao smiled:
"I was just wondering, is China the most peaceful country in the world?"
Li Yu held the bamboo stick and took a piece of sticky bun from the disposable lunch box held by Diao Chan and put it into his mouth:
"Theoretically, this is true, but Western countries have always been obsessed with me, and they always like to engage in some covert means, such as gender antagonism, such as ethnic antagonism, to ideologically undermine the will of the people in an attempt to launch a color revolution... However, So far, it has not been successful.”
Diao Chan said:
"It has been written in our textbooks that the core of conflicts in the future world will be regional conflicts, ideological struggles, environmental degradation and the control of respiratory diseases."
Zhou Ruotong pinched a piece of banana leaf he just bought and tasted it, and thought it tasted good:
"We can't interfere in the real world, but in the book world, various Western beliefs must be eradicated, lest the book world develops to the end and embark on the same old path of the real world... We can't always defend passively, and Have to be the mastermind behind their rule.”
Li Yu smiled and said:
"With your attitude, you have to find a small bar owner Dangdang in Hanhuang Bar."
Just as he was talking, a small stall selling glutinous rice balls appeared in front of him.
This stall is very interesting. The glutinous rice balls are not rolled out, but extruded from a machine. The stall owner holds a small shovel. Whenever some glutinous rice is squeezed out of the outlet, he scrapes it off, making the glutinous rice balls Falling into the powder mixed with soybean flour and brown sugar, the white glutinous rice dumplings turned into a gray and dusty appearance.
Diao Chan fell in love with her at first sight:
"It looks like a donkey rolling around. Uncle, give me two boxes."
The stall owner uses a large slotted spoon to put the glutinous rice dumplings in the powder into a disposable lunch box, then sprinkles some powder and tops them with a few bamboo skewers, and a serving of glutinous rice dumplings is ready.
Li Yu tasted it. The powdered sugar on the outside was rustling, but the glutinous rice dumplings on the inside were delicate, soft, and warm. It tasted very comfortable.
Mu Guiying was worried that she wouldn't have enough food, so she bought two more boxes, and planned to take some to her empress and Houtu godmother when she went back.
Walking further, there were sellers selling flat noodles, spicy mutton soup, dumplings, wontons, haggis, glutinous rice noodles and other delicacies. Mu Guiying did not dare to brag now and began to look around. For him:
"You have eaten so greasy so early in the morning, can you digest it?"
Zhou Ruotong said:
"They have to get up early in the morning to set up their stalls. Even if they live here, they still have to tidy up their stalls before dawn. In such a cold weather, it's normal to eat something hot."
Encountering a stall selling almond tea, Li Yu bought a cup of almond tea for each of the beauties, and then bought several cups of freshly squeezed sugar cane juice.
Mu Guiying recorded a few videos from a high place and planned to go back and let everyone in the village see it.
In the future, we will strive to establish such a prosperous era with free trade, prosperous commerce, and happiness for all people.
Li Yu reminded:
"The influence of Muke Village has become stronger and stronger recently. You can also hold a gathering to attract business teams from north to south to come and trade. When the reputation spreads, there will naturally be more and more businessmen from all directions."< br>
Mu Guiying's eyes lit up, but then she became hesitant:
"After the gathering, I won't be able to rob. This goes against my original intention of being the best female bandit in the world."
Li Yu said:
"You can just take the results, but isn't this the same as robbery? Don't think of it as a platform that doesn't make money, but as long as it becomes stronger and bigger, it can bully merchants with its left hand and customers with its right hand. It can also introduce some policies to let customers and Both sides of the business are at odds with each other, so you just need to be a superior referee..."
Mu Guiying blinked and asked in a low voice:
"Husband, when you say that about Meituan, aren't you afraid that they will sue you?"
"Don't be afraid. This despicable method is not unique to their family. All platforms are like this. Why should they sue me?"
The group of people wandered around until after nine o'clock, and they finally visited the entire gathering. Everyone ate sesame seed cakes and fried food, fried food and snacks, and snacks and fruits. Now each person is walking back with a candied haws. .
Everyone was carrying large and small bags of things they had picked up from the rally.
Although everyone likes to shop online, web browsing and on-site selection are completely different in terms of senses and mood.
Especially the things at the rally were super cheap, which made a few people feel like money was finally money.
Arriving at the food factory, Li Yu opened the trunk and sorted the things everyone bought into categories.
For example, the sugarcane juice brought to Zhao Feng's family, the empress, and others cannot be put together with hot drinks, because the sugarcane juice does not taste good when it is hot, and it is enjoyable when it is ice cold. For fried foods, it is best to leave them open to avoid getting suffocated in plastic bags.
Roasted seeds, such as peanuts, melon seeds, almonds and pumpkin seeds, must be sealed to prevent them from softening and affecting the taste.
After everything was packed, Li Yu drove back to the B&B.
As soon as she got off the bus, Mu Guiying carried the food she bought and returned to the book world happily.
She first gave some food to Li Fengyang, and then asked Fan Zhongyan to give some to her father. Then she took the rest to the Wa Palace and began to claim credit:
"Master, Master, I went to the market today. I bought these for you. We walked a long way, and I carried them the whole way, which made my little arms tired."
The empress flicked her finger at her, and the originally beautiful queen immediately transformed into a bodybuilding champion with muscles all over her body and arms thicker than her legs.
"How about this?"
Mu Guiying raised her arm, feeling that her strength was indeed greater, but thinking of her husband's preferences, she quickly shook her head and said:
"No, no, no, this doesn't fit in with my temperament as the number one lady in the three realms. It's still the same as before. Although it's not perfect, I'm used to it."
The empress turned her into her original appearance again:
"Do your arms still feel sore now?"
"I don't think so anymore. I'm afraid you'll turn me into a stinky bear... Master, when you can go to the real world, how about I take you around on an electric tricycle?"
The empress picked up a piece of honey and put it into her mouth with great interest, and said with a smile:
"Okay, but why drive a tricycle? Don't I deserve to ride in a car?"
"All the old ladies who go to the market today ride electric tricycles. You are so old, you have to experience the treatment of the elderly in the real world. Then I will take you to try the pea cake that the toothless old lady likes to eat, and then try Taste...eh? Where did the caterpillar come from?”
The girl was chattering endlessly when she realized that she had appeared in a world full of caterpillars. Caterpillars of various colors were crawling around. She immediately rolled her eyes and fainted.
The empress waved and she returned to the Wa Palace again.
As soon as he appeared, he hugged Houtu Empress who had just come next to her:
"Godmother, save me, I fell into the array of nine-curved caterpillars!"
Empress Houtu said with a smile:
"Who told you to talk nonsense? It's just that you brought so much delicious food at once. Thank you for your hard work Guiying. I will ask King Chujiang to send you some vegetables later. You can feed them to the people in the village, which will strengthen their souls. .”
"Okay godmother, come and try these glutinous rice dumplings. They are so delicious. I ate two boxes in one go."
The empress asked:
"Are there many people going to the market?"
"Many, so many. Only once a year, people from hundreds of miles away drive to set up stalls. I also saw a lot of people living in the mountains. They all have different accents. When buying things, they always talk about piles or sacks. , I also bought a whole fan of pork at a time, saying I would eat it until next spring.”
In the real world, Li Yu looked at Diao Chan and asked:
"What do you want to eat for lunch?"
"I don't want to eat anything. I feel like my stomach is going to burst... Is there a market nearby? I want to go shopping next time I have a break."
Li Yu wasn't too sure, so he simply opened the residents' group in Shitouzhai Village and asked inside:
"There are some old gatherings near us. If you know, can you tell us the dates?"
As soon as the news was sent out, the villagers couldn't wait to reply:
"On October 18th, Shanglin Village holds a festival and performs a three-day opera every year."
"Mopanshi Village holds a market on October 25th. It lasts for two days. Many people from the mountains set up stalls. Those who like mountain products and Chinese herbal medicines can go and have a look."
"Youfangzhai has a big gathering in early November, and many people from Hebei come to set up stalls."
"..."
Everyone was talking to each other, and Li Yu was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that within fifty miles around, there were all kinds of large gatherings, all the way up to the 29th of the New Year.
He sent a red envelope of 500 yuan in the group to express his gratitude, and then took a screenshot and saved it. Next time the little girl goes home to rest, she can continue shopping and eating.
Diao Chan held her chin in her hands and said angrily:
"I originally wanted to eat a lot of delicious food, and I also wanted to have hot pot again, but who knew that as soon as I got home, I would eat all my breakfast."
Li Yu smiled:
"I'll make a sour soup for lunch and digest it first. Let's go to the city to eat hot pot in the evening. If you want to eat anything else, I'll make it for you."
"Okay, then I'll go study."
Just after Diao Chan left, Zhou Ruotong came to the study, dug out Li Yu's purchasing records, and began to check the accounts.
Yunxiao had nothing to do. He fed the horses in the backyard and walked around the scenic spot. He continued to feel everyone's joys, sorrows and joys, and used this method to complete his own "Tao".
At noon, Li Yu cooked a pot of sour soup and Diao Chan drank a bowl, finally feeling appetizing.
But when he thought about having hot pot in the afternoon, he wisely did not return to the bowl. Instead, he rode his pink bicycle down the mountain, escorted by Brother Dao, to the Hanfu Factory to live broadcast with Wenjing and earn some money.
When she came to the Hanfu Factory, she put on the latest Hanfu. As soon as she appeared in the live broadcast room, the fans inside were excited:
"Wow, Fairy Little Chan is here [Compare Hearts] [Compare Hearts] [Compare Hearts]!"
"I have watched too many live broadcasts, and I like this kind of live broadcast room that does not allow beauty... Xiaochan Fairy's Hanfu is so beautiful. I want to see the link to this suit within a minute!"
"Yes, please upload the link!"
“I can’t even imagine how many people I, Nangong Goudan, would be able to charm to death if I wore this Hanfu!”
"With your fresh and refined name, you are more likely to be scared to death."
"This name is nonsense. I, Ximen Dachun, am the first to refuse to accept it!"
"Everyone is here to see Fairy Xiaochan, not for your bad names. I, Zhuge Gangdan, advise you to face your own names and don't blindly compare."
"Is this the surname disenchantment bureau today? I always thought that surnames were good until I saw your names."
"Shangguan Heiwa is here, who would be dissatisfied?"
"..."
Diao Chan looked at the dense barrage, covered her mouth and laughed, then she picked up a writing brush and silently wrote hundreds of surnames in the live broadcast room, showing off her calligraphy.
When many people saw their last name, they quickly liked and rewarded it.
When Diao Chan was writing, she would also explain the origin of the surname and celebrities, giving netizens in the live broadcast room a solid traditional culture lesson.
When it was almost over, the popularity of the live broadcast room had already reached the first place. Many people didn't know that some ordinary surnames were nobles in ancient times.
Throughout the live broadcast, Diao Chan didn't say a word about placing an order, nor did she introduce the various advantages of the clothes. She just wrote calligraphy all afternoon and talked about the origins of various surnames. However, the sales in the live broadcast room skyrocketed, and the popularity has remained high. Too high.
Diao Chan changed into Hanfu and thanked everyone for their support. Fans asked to extend the live broadcast time. Diao Chan said with a smile:
"I made an appointment with my family to have hot pot tonight, and I also have to study tonight. I'll broadcast live next time. The weather in the north has cooled down recently, so everyone should pay attention to their health!"
After saying that, she waved her hands and left the live broadcast room.
As soon as they walked out, Wen Jing and Hao Zhenzhen came over:
"Xiaochan, you are so awesome, you actually made money standing up!"
When others bring goods in the live broadcast room, they need to talk endlessly about various advantages, dissing the competitors' products, and then imitating Mr. Lei and saying that friendly merchants are idiots.
Now, Diao Chan didn't mention the goods at all during the live broadcast, but simply showed off the clothes. The order quantity has already been overwhelming, so that the subsequent order numbers have to be postponed before they can be shipped.
Diao Chan looked at her order commission and was fascinated by the long string of numbers.
Hoho, I’ve made some small money again. Let’s order whatever you want for the hot pot dinner tonight. I, Zhou Xiaochan, will pay for all the expenses!
————————
I thought this drop in temperature had nothing to do with me, but I caught a cold again. I’ll start with one update today, brothers. I’ll see what happens tomorrow. If my health is fine, I’ll resume two updates.
