Fortunately, the two children did not run around, but followed the adults by pulling on their clothes.

Seeing the two children's resentful eyes, Fu Wan hurriedly tried to make amends.

"Haha, sorry. I'll buy it for you right now."

"Boss, give me two more... No, six!"

"Good Le!"

The boss selling candied haws suddenly grinned from mouth to the back of his head.

His candied haws were not cheap, one candied haws cost 1.5 cents. Fu Wan bought eight of them at once, buying out all the candied haws on his desk.

She picked up seven candied haws in her hand at once, and passers-by stopped to watch. The candied haws tasted so good, why did this girl buy so many?

The children nearby became even more noisy, asking their parents to buy candied haws. Suddenly, a crowd gathered in front of the candied haws stall, which made the owner of the candied haws stall very happy.

Fu Wan's eight candied haws cost a total of one dollar and two cents. When Fu Wan took out the money, the boss waved his hand and shouted to Fu Wan, "Girl, just give me one dollar."

Just give her the leftovers.

Fu Wan nodded happily. This boss was quite capable. After all, two mao was not two cents, but it could buy half a pound of meat.

Fu Ming and Fu Liang, who were following behind, didn't expect that there would be a portion for them. They didn't act pretentiously and took the candied haws and started eating.

However, after Fu Liang finished eating his candied haws, he ran to buy another one and put it in his pocket. When Fu Wan saw this, she winked at Fu Ming.

Look at him, how smart he is!

Fu Ming realized it later and poked Fu Liang with his elbow. Just as he was about to laugh at him, he suddenly realized it.

Yes, Fu Liang bought gifts for his girlfriend, so he can also buy things for his wife!

Now, he had no appetite for the candied haws. His eyes scanned the stalls like a scanner, searching for suitable gifts.

Fu Wan no longer paid attention to Fu Ming. After all, she had given him a hint. Whether he could understand it or not depended on his own emotional intelligence.

She held Fu Ling's hand and walked forward for a long distance. The stalls in the middle were all selling seafood. After all, it was a county town by the sea, so how could there be no seafood in the market?

Fu Wan looked around carefully. There were mostly crabs, octopuses, and shrimp. There were a few fish, the usual sea bass and opium fish, but perhaps because it was too cold, they were all half-dead.

There were also quite a few people buying seafood. The sound of the fishmonger talking to others came into her ears. Fu Wan reflexively compared the prices with those of Fu San and found that Fu San's prices were quite fair.

Sea bass was 60 cents per pound, opium fish was 50 cents, and there was an anglerfish lying on the ground with its belly facing up. Someone wanted to buy it and was bargaining for the price, which was 20 cents per pound.

From this perspective, it is still cost-effective to sell all the fish to Fu San. If they are sent to the county town, it will be a waste of manpower and resources, and I will have to sit in the market for most of the day, which is simply exhausting both physically and mentally.

"Awan, what do you think that is?"

Qin An Ning patted Fu Wan's arm gently. Fu Wan looked in the direction she pointed and was immediately surprised.

"Is that a...deer?"

The place Qin An Ning pointed to was more than ten meters away from them. A burly middle-aged man was standing there. He was wearing a tattered cotton jacket with several conspicuous patches on it, and a hat made of some unknown fur on his head. Half a deer was lying on the ground at his feet.

Hunting is not banned these days, but anyone who can catch a deer in the middle of winter does have some real skills.

Venison is nutritious, especially in such cold weather. If you buy some venison and stew it in a pot, your whole body will be warmed up after eating it.

"Let's go and take a look!"

After saying that, she turned around and called out to Fu Ming and Fu Liang. After they came over, they walked towards the venison stall together.

The person selling the venison was Huang Tiejun from Qingshui Village. He was feeling annoyed because it was almost noon and half of the venison was still unsold. Should he lower the price?

But before he came out, he had calculated that the money from selling the venison would be just enough for him to buy bricks to build a house for his son. If the price was lower, he would have to try his luck in the mountains before the New Year.

While still struggling with this, he reflexively reached for the homemade cigarettes in his pocket.

"Comrade, how much is this venison?"

Huang Tiejun withdrew his hand from reaching for his cigarette and quickly replied, "Two... five hundred dollars a pound. Comrade, this is the deer I just shot this morning. Feel it, the meat is still warm."

Two and a half dollars?

Fu Ming and Fu Liang took a deep breath. Damn, it’s so expensive!

Fu Wan had guessed early on that venison was not cheap, but she had not expected it to be so much more expensive than pork.

But it's normal to think about it. Hunting in winter is not easy. The target audience of pork is ordinary people, but that of venison is not. If you don't have some money at home, you won't dare to buy this stuff to eat.

It was one thing to dislike the high price, but Fu Ming and Fu Liang still couldn't help themselves and reached out to touch the venison.

"Awan, it's really hot!"

Hearing this, Huang Tiejun couldn't help feeling a little proud. He had been guarding in the woods for most of the night and finally killed the deer at dawn.

However, the tractor in the village was too cold to start, so he had to drive the ox cart to the county town by himself. Fortunately, he was smart and used his tattered cotton jacket to keep the venison warm when he came out, so the venison did not get cold.

Thinking of this, he felt a little annoyed. He arrived at the county town a little late and there were not many rich people there. He stood there for more than half an hour and only managed to sell a small half of his goods.

These young people in front of me look neatly dressed, but I don’t know whether they are willing to let go.

Forget it, whatever he can sell, the better. If it really doesn’t work, he will take the venison to the family quarters of the nearby factory in the afternoon to ask!

With this in mind, he began to work hard to promote his venison.

"Comrade, look at this venison. The meat is very firm. Buy it in the middle of winter and stir-fry or stew it. It will definitely nourish your body.

Oh, these two children are from your family, right? Venison is good for children, eating it will help them grow taller next year!"

"Okay, stop talking, big brother, how much of this half of venison you have? I want it all."

"Okay, I'll take them all... huh? You want them all?"

Happiness came so suddenly that Huang Tiejun's eyes widened and he thought there was something wrong with his ears.

Fu Liang next to him wanted to say something, but was stopped by Fu Ming.

Fu Ming could guess what he wanted to say. He simply thought Fu Wan bought too much.

But is it really a lot? This half deer weighs at most more than 30 kilograms. Fu Liang's family will get some, his uncle Ye Jianguo will give some, and his family will have to keep some. Fu San may not even take it.

Venison is rare, so if Fu Wan wants to buy it, let her buy it. It’s not like she can’t afford it.

It must be said, if they were not siblings, Fu Ming was thinking exactly what Fu Wan was thinking.

Huang Tiejun saw that they didn't seem to be joking, so he quickly and skillfully picked up the remaining half of the deer and weighed it.

"Hey, look, thirty-six pounds and eight ounces! How's that? Is it okay?"

Fu Wan nodded and prepared to pay. Thirty-six pounds and eight ounces came to exactly ninety-two yuan.

"Awan, what are you buying that costs so much?!"
