In the reborn era, the lucky bag is enjoying the show in the factory area.

Finally, with the help of a group of middle-aged women and Xi Beizhan, Luo Yu squeezed into the courtyard. Before Luo Yu could even look around to see what was for sale, the middle-aged women rushed off in different directions.

"I saw meat."

“There are chickens over there.”

"I'm going to buy two feet of coarse cloth."

"The grain over there is quite good. When you come over, I'll reserve it for you."

In the blink of an eye, the five middle-aged women disappeared into the crowd, leaving Luo Yu completely bewildered.

What the hell!

I finally experienced firsthand the fighting power of the supermarket aunties from my past life!

With that stamina and speed, he doesn't look like someone almost fifty; he's even more agile than her.

Turning around again, Xi Beizhan was gone too.

"I'm going to buy chicken. I'll wait at the door in a bit."

Luo Yu was pushed into the crowd and before he could even respond, he disappeared. Not only did he disappear, but Guan Jingyi was also pulled away by him.

Luo Yu was even more confused.

Are you just going to leave me all alone like this? You promised you'd always be there for me.

Alright, it's good that everyone's gone, otherwise it would be inconvenient for her to pack her things into her storage space later.

Luo Yu didn't waste any time and quickly squeezed in one direction.

She has a good idea. If women in their fifties can squeeze in, what does she lack?

If all else fails, just follow the crowd.

But she forgot that this was a market, not a main road. There were people coming from the direction she wanted to go, and people coming from the direction she wanted to go. This caused her to take two steps forward and then be pushed back three steps by the crowd. Three minutes passed and Luo Yu was still in the same place.

Luo Yu became withdrawn.

I just want to get there, why is it so difficult!

Luo Yu was extremely anxious and looked around. Just then, an older woman next to her reached out and pulled her.

"What are you looking at? Move forward."

Luo Yu looked miserable. "I want to leave too, but I can't squeeze through."

As she spoke, Luo Yu was pushed back two steps by the crowd. If it weren't for the quick-thinking older woman next to her pulling her up, she would have fallen down by now.

The older woman looked Luo Yu up and down. "No wonder. With such a small frame, even wolves would cry when they see him."

Why did you have to come here of all places?

"Alright, come with me, I'll take you there."

The woman started working on it as she spoke.

She stretched out her hands and pushed the two people in front of her aside, saying, "Make way, make way! There's a young girl here, she's delicate and frail. If you push any further, she'll suffocate."

Upon hearing this, the people in front turned around. Although they hadn't seen what was behind them yet, they all turned their feet to make way for each other.

When Luo Yu heard the old woman shout that, she stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

"Auntie, it's not that bad, I can hold on for a while longer."

Waaaaah... She almost got talked to to death as soon as she came out, and it was by a middle-aged woman she didn't even know. Where can she go to reason with her?

Fortunately, the method worked, and the chaotic crowd in front really dispersed.

Luo Yu followed the older woman and quickly left the crowd. After walking only a dozen meters, the number of people in front of them decreased.

The older woman pulled Luo Yu's wrist aside and gave her some words of advice with concern.

"There are a lot of people at the gate, but it's not as good inside. Buy whatever you want inside, don't go to the gate. Wait until you run into the people who came with you before going out, or find that tall, big guy and walk behind them, you'll be out in a little while."

Luo Yu gratefully grasped the old woman's hand and shook it up and down.

"Auntie, thank you so much for today. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have died soon."

The middle-aged woman rolled her eyes. "You're thanking me? You're insulting me."

Luo Yu quickly shook her head, "Really not, I'm telling the truth. I've been in poor health since I was a child. Look how thin I am, I don't even have a pound of flesh on my body. If we squeezed like this, I might really faint from lack of oxygen."

After hearing Luo Yu's explanation, the older woman was no longer angry and nodded. "Alright, now that you mention it, it seems to make sense. That's settled then. I'm leaving now. You're a young girl, so please be careful."

After saying that, the woman turned and walked away quickly, disappearing into the crowd in the blink of an eye.

Luo Yu was still marveling at how warm-hearted the people of Northeast China were, that even strangers were willing to lend a helping hand, when suddenly her eyes caught sight of a donkey cart to her left, its surface covered with bamboo baskets.

Holy crap! Found it.

Forgetting the kind old lady, Luo Yu rushed towards the donkey cart.

"Grandpa, how much is this basket?"

The old man at the stall had his hands in his sleeves. He glanced up at Luo Yu and, seeing that Luo Yu didn't seem to want to buy anything, sighed softly, but still said, "One and a half cents each, and the smaller one over there is one cent."

Luo Yu frowned. "Grandpa, this is a bit expensive. The big stall over there by the door only sells it for one cent."

Upon hearing this, the old man realized that Luo Yu knew the prices outside and genuinely wanted to buy it, so he grinned.

“The ones outside aren’t as good as mine. Mine are dense and durable; they won’t break even after three to five years.”

Luo Yu took a closer look and noticed that it was denser than the one by the door, so he nodded and said, "Sir, if I buy the whole thing, can you give me a discount?"

The old man was taken aback. "You're buying everything? What are you going to do with all that? You won't be able to use it all, and it'll spoil easily if you leave it for too long. If you really want it, just buy two. I'll give you a discount of 13 cents, okay?"

Luo Yu smiled.

We Northeasterners are just honest. Even though we're selling things, we'll buy everything the buyer wants and worry that they won't be able to use it all. If we do business like this, we won't make any money.

"Grandpa, I'm buying this for the factory. They'll need it for shoveling snow, loading coal, and storing things in the warehouse. They use a lot of it."

When the old man heard that it was for the factory, he nodded and said, "Alright, I'll sell them all to you. The big ones are 12 cents each, and the small ones are 8 cents each. Is that alright?"

Luo Yu felt the price was acceptable, and the key was that the old man's basket was sturdy and durable, so it would be worth it even if it lasted another year.

"Okay, then I'll take them all. I'll also take these two earthen baskets over there; I'll use them to fill up coal ash when I get home."

"Okay, wait a minute, you came by yourself?"

Luo Yu quickly shook her head, "No, I came with my colleague. Grandpa, you can just pull it to the roadside at the gate and wait for my colleague to come back so we can go together."

The old man nodded, loaded all the bamboo baskets laid out on the ground onto the donkey cart, and then had Luo Yu sit on the cart before driving it towards the gate.

There were too many people, and the donkey cart couldn't go fast. It took a lot of effort to get out of the market gate. Under Luo Yu's direction, the cart was driven to the side of the road at the market gate. The old man got off the cart and moved all the bamboo baskets to the ground.

Twenty large bamboo baskets, ten smaller bamboo baskets, and two earthen baskets, all for a total of only three yuan and fifty cents.

After paying, the old man happily drove away in his donkey cart.

Luo Yu kicked all the bamboo baskets down to the roadbed and then went down with them.

The roadbed is on a slope, so there's no fear of falling and getting hurt. Moreover, the roadbed, which is more than two meters high, blocks the view of people nearby. Unless you look down, you won't be able to see that there are people below the roadbed.

Luo Yu waited for another ten minutes or so, figuring that the people who saw her unloading the goods here had either left or gone into the market. She looked around and saw that the market wall blocked one side of the way, and as long as she was careful on the other side and no one saw her, she could put the goods into her space.
