Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 18 Visiting the Night Market

Lin Qingyan followed the two girls, taking many twists and turns, and headed towards the night market decades later, thus beginning her magical journey.

The night market is a street with more people and more liveliness than the street we were just on.

The surrounding businesses all turned on lights inside and outside their houses, and the small vendors also had their own ways and placed lights on their stalls.

For many people who get off work after 996, it is too late to buy groceries and cook at home at this time, so they simply go straight to the night market and spend some money to buy some food for a quick meal.

Lin Qingyan felt that her current experience was even more exciting than in the movies.

I have watched movies before I went to the countryside. They pulled up a piece of cloth and projected a project onto it. The people inside could walk around and talk. It was magical.

Thinking too far ahead.

This time she no longer followed the two girls, but looked at the night market slowly by herself.

"Mom, I want to eat chicken steak!" A little boy was pulling his mother and pointing at a stall.

"This is roast duck, not chicken steak!" the boy's mother answered patiently.

"Mom, then I want to eat chicken steak." The boy shook his mother's hand and acted coquettishly.

"Okay, let's go to the one in front. The chicken steak there is the best!" said the woman, pulling the child's hand and walking forward.

Lin Qingyan looked at the yellow roast duck that was oozing with oil and smelled delicious, and thought that it looked delicious. After thinking about it, she followed the woman to another stall.

"Boss, I want a chicken steak. Cut it for me. I don't want it spicy."

"Okay!" The boss stood in front of the stall with an arc-shaped object hanging around his neck, blowing at his sparse hair. Even the boss was sweating from the heat.

Lin Qingyan has now been attracted by the thing on the boss's neck. What is this? It feels like it can make people feel cool.

I don't know where to buy it, and whether it's expensive. I really want to have one and send it to my mother.

If it's not expensive, buy two. They work in a factory and it's very hot in the summer.

"Anything else? We have freshly roasted duck!"

There was a roast duck with golden skin and sizzling oil in front of the boss. He pointed at the roast duck and asked the child in front of the stall.

"Mom, I want to eat roast duck too!"

"I've already bought chicken steaks. I bought too much and can't finish them."

"Mom, I want to eat. If I can't finish it, don't I need Dad?"

“Dad is not a garbage can that only eats your leftovers.” Although the woman said this, she still pointed at the roast duck and said to the boss.

"Give me another half roast duck!"

"Okay, which half do you want?"

"The leading half."

"Okay! That's thirty-five dollars."

The boss nimbly held the knife, raised it and lowered it, and in a short while, he cut the chicken into pieces and put them in a paper bag.

Then chop the roast duck into pieces and put them in a round plastic box, add two packets of sauce, and finally put it in a plastic bag.

He took two more transparent plastic objects, put them together in the bag, and handed it to the woman.

"Mom, give it to me, I'll take it!" The little boy reached out to take it anxiously.

"Don't worry, put on your gloves, mom will take it, you eat first!"

It turned out that the plastic thing was a glove. Lin Qingyan observed silently.

"Boss, give me a chicken steak, cut it into pieces and add more chili." Lin Qingyan took out the money.

Continue to ask: "How much?"

"Chicken steak is 12.5 yuan." The boss said as he cut the chicken, then pointed at the roast duck and asked:

"Little girl, do you want roast duck? It's fresh out of the oven!"

Lin Qingyan shook her head. Although she really wanted to eat it, roast duck was too expensive.

"No, thank you, chicken fillet will do!" Lin Qingyan was afraid that the boss would chop up the roast duck directly, so she quickly shook her head.

The boss disappointedly cut the chicken steak into pieces, sprinkled chili powder, cumin powder and other seasonings on it, packed it and handed it to Lin Qingyan.

Lin Qingyan took out 13 yuan from her pocket and handed it to the boss.

"Give me cash. I don't think I have fifty cents yet." The boss took out the cash box from under the chopping board and searched around, but still found that he didn't have fifty cents.

"Girl, since I don't have 50 cents to give you, can I give you two chicken fillets?" asked the boss.

"Sure, thank you, boss." Lin Qingyan didn't know what chicken fillet was, but she guessed that it was edible.

The boss picked up two pieces from the pile of fried strips on the side and put them in the bag.

Lin Qingyan looked at the whole street and saw many people eating while walking, so she took out the two long strips given by the boss, put them in her mouth and took a bite.

The meat was tender and delicious, crispy and crunchy, and she finished both of them quickly. She even wanted to put her fingers in her mouth and suck on them.

Lin Qingyan envied the people of this era. She was even more envious when she thought about the fact that they needed tickets to buy meat and it was not something that could be bought with money.

She took out the chicken steak again and ate it. She really wanted to eat the fingers holding the chicken steak into her stomach.

However, in order not to expose her origins from the poor 1970s, Lin Qingyan resisted the urge.

Touching the money in her pocket, Lin Qingyan felt full of energy and strength.

The money earned here could not be spent in their time, but it can be spent in this era.

There was no point in her bringing the money back. She could just buy things to bring back to improve her food and living environment.

There is no need to worry about someone discovering it when she brings it back because she has space.

She is so smart.

Lin Qingyan then slowly strolled around the night market, where there were barbecue stalls, fried skewers stalls, cold noodle stalls, fried noodles stalls, fruit stalls, as well as some selling toys, clothes, shoes, and bags.

There is a corresponding sign on each stall, in various colors and different fonts, but Lin Qingyan can roughly understand what it means.

Lin Qingyan strolled slowly in the night market.

After walking a long way, we came to a stall selling clothes. There were a lot of clothes hanging on a pole, including short-sleeved shirts, skirts, and pants.

There was a cardboard hanging in the front with the words "35 yuan for one, 65 yuan for two."

The stall owner saw someone approaching him without even looking up, and said directly:

"35 yuan for one piece, 65 yuan for two pieces, no bargaining, if you need clothes, just look at them yourself, and take them if you like them."

The shop owner was a young girl. Although she didn't raise her head, her figure looked very beautiful.

She had a thin waist, long legs, and a bit of her belly showing. Lin Qingyan couldn't help but take a few glances.

Looking down at her clothes again, she felt that many people on the street were looking at her, as if her clothes were strange.

Including Zhou Limei, although no one said anything about her clothes, the strange look made her feel a little embarrassed.

She needs to buy a set of clothes that can be worn in this era.

"Boss, can I see the clothes?" Lin Qingyan asked uncertainly.

"Well, just look around and pick whatever you want." The young female stall owner was playing with her mobile phone without even raising her head.

Lin Qingyan looked at the dress. There were patterns on the short sleeves. The patterns were various cartoon shapes, which were very cute.

But it's not very suitable for her age.

"Boss, can the price be a little cheaper?" Lin Qingyan wanted to buy something to wear here, but she couldn't accept the price.

"No bargaining! This price is already very cheap."

After much hesitation, Lin Qingyan finally gave up the purchase and walked forward, turned a street, and walked further in. There were fewer and fewer people.

When I turned a corner, I saw a couple laying a mat on the ground with their clothes placed directly on it.

The stalls have solid-colored short-sleeved shirts, socks, insoles, underwear, etc. They are all solid colors, without patterns or various letters.

"Little sister, do you want to buy some clothes?" the stall owner asked the little girl standing in front of the stall. Their stall rarely attracted little girls.

"Sister, how much is this dress?" Lin Qingyan asked, picking up a pure white short-sleeved shirt.

"This is pure cotton. Girls don't like it very much nowadays. If you want it, I'll give it to you at a cheaper price, 20 yuan a piece."

Seeing that Lin Qingyan was choosing carefully, the stall owner gave her an honest price.

"Pants are 20 yuan a piece. Bras are 10 yuan a piece, and panties are 10 yuan for three pairs." The stall owner introduced as he looked in the direction Lin Qingyan was looking.

Lin Qingyan picked out a short-sleeved shirt, a long-sleeved shirt, a pair of trousers, two bras, and three pairs of underwear.

"Girl, since you're honest when buying things, the long-sleeved shirts are originally 30 yuan each, so I'll give you 20 yuan. The total for these pieces is 90 yuan."

The stall owner was very happy to open the business, as this was a big customer.
