Sister Chunyan raised her index finger to her lips and spoke cautiously.

"Hush, keep your voice down. We have so much gold with us, we must not let anyone find out!"

"Yeah, okay!"

Zhou Yue took out a pair of scissors and cut some gold nuggets from the gold bars.

The gold bars are soft in texture and can be cut with a little force using scissors.

Zhou Yue wrapped the cut gold nuggets in a handkerchief.

"Tomorrow morning, Ah Xing and I will go and exchange these broken gold nuggets for silver dollars. We can buy more supplies this time!"

The two taels of gold nuggets he cut off were exchanged for 200 silver dollars.

This is different from the 200 yuan today. The purchasing power of this 200 yuan is amazing.

Things are different now. My wallet is fatter and even shopping has become more fun.

There is a big market near this long street, and there are a lot of people visiting the market in the morning.

This is the market inside, which is much more lively and prosperous than the big market held once a month in the village.

I bought some rice, flour, grain and oil, but I couldn't buy too much. After all, I came here on a ox cart and the cargo capacity was limited.

After buying the food, they planned to buy some chicken and ducklings.

But after walking around the market, I didn't find anyone selling chicken or duck chicks.

Zhou Yue was a little confused. In such a big market, there were no chicks or ducklings for sale.

"Sister Chunyan, there are only grown broiler chickens and ducks in this market. There are no chicks or ducklings for sale!"

Sister Chunyan scratched her head and said.

"No way, how can there not even be chicken and duck seedlings in such a big market? Let's go ask our fellow villagers!"

After saying that, he walked towards the stall of an auntie selling vegetables.

Sister Chunyan bowed slightly, with a smile on her face, and asked politely.

"Auntie, do you know where to buy chicks and ducklings around here?"

The aunt stopped what she was doing, looked up, and pointed to the west with her right hand.

"You want to buy chicks and ducklings, right? Walk over there for more than ten miles and you'll find a village called Lanshitou. They raise chickens and ducks for sale. We usually go to that village to buy chicks and ducklings!"

"Okay, thank you, auntie!"

Sister Chunyan stood up and spoke to Zhou Yue happily.

"We will pass by that village on the way back, so we can buy it directly in the village then!"

Zhou Yue raised the corners of her mouth, revealing two shallow dimples.

"Okay, let's buy it on our way back. It won't delay anything!"

After walking around the market for a long time, there was one thing Zhou Yue wanted to buy but didn't find, that was mosquito coils.

But it’s normal to think about it. In the 30s, ordinary people didn’t pay much attention to mosquito repellent.

When Zhou Yue lived in the Jinxi base, the mosquitoes were extremely rampant.

In this hot summer, there are a lot of mosquitoes and flies. They go into the house and never come out, biting people.

There are also some primitive ways to repel mosquitoes locally, which is burning mugwort.

After lighting the dried mugwort in the house, thick smoke will fill the house, which can play a certain role in repelling mosquitoes.

However, the effect is not very great. After burning the mugwort, some stubborn mosquitoes still survive.

Every time mugwort was burned, it was fuming and choking. If you were choked by the smoke, you would cough until tears and snot flowed.

Fortunately, Zhou Yue lives alone, so she can secretly light up the mosquito coils at night and have a good sleep.

The comrades in the base area could only helplessly endure the harassment of mosquitoes.

Mosquitoes really affect sleep and are really annoying!
