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

Seeing that no one was around and no one was paying attention to her, she left only a bamboo basket and quickly put the rest into her spatial storage. She then climbed back onto the road with the bamboo basket on her back.

After much effort, Luo Yu finally managed to squeeze into the market again. This time, she was smarter and followed two tall, burly men in. Just like Aunt Zhen had said, she didn't have to squeeze in too much.

Back at the market, Luo Yu didn't rush to find anyone. She followed the flow of people, looking at the goods on both sides as she walked.

The market sells a pretty complete range of things: frozen rabbits, frozen chickens, live poultry, and fish that are frozen solid.

Luo Yu couldn't move away once she saw the fish.

"Brother, how much is this fish?"

"Five cents a pound, how many do you want, young lady?"

The fishmonger grinned broadly, his teeth were very white, but he was a bit dark-skinned and looked somewhat fierce.

"It's too expensive. Can I get a discount if I buy more?"

"Forty-eight cents, that's the lowest I can go."

"Fourty-five cents, I want twenty."

"Hey girl, how many people are in your family? Did you buy all this to eat?"

The fishmonger was shocked.

“My family loves to eat fish. It looks like a lot. We eat two fish at a time, and we can finish them all after the New Year.”

The fishmonger breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, that makes sense. Fish won't spoil in the dead of winter. Just be careful not to let them go outside and get stolen."

The fishmonger helped Luo Yu choose fish while he talked.

"What kind of fish do you want, young lady? I'll help you choose."

"Ten grass carp, five common carp, and five crucian carp, that's about it."

"Okay, girl, don't let go. It's fishy. Tell me which one you want and I'll get it for you."

Luo Yu directed, and the eldest brother took the fish; in no time, twenty fish were picked out.

No matter what kind of fish it was, it was all priced at 45 cents per pound. In the end, they even gave Luo Yu a small crucian carp as a bonus.

"You can eat this fish. I caught it yesterday. It's very fresh. The crucian carp with some tofu makes a wonderful soup."

They helped Luo Yu put all the fish into the basket, paid her, and then Luo Yu tried to carry it but couldn't.

This is heavy!

Luo Yu closed her eyes briefly, then looked up at the fishmonger. "Brother, could you lend me a hand?"

The fishmonger chuckled and helped Luo Yu lift the basket.

Luo Yu slung the basket over her shoulder, only to feel a sudden weight on her shoulder; her older brother had let go.

"Will it work? If not, I'll deliver it to your door for you."

Luo Yu waved her hand, "If I can't carry anything else, can't I carry food? I have to do it, even if I have to crawl, I'll carry the fish home today."

The fishmonger chuckled even more, “That’s right. If you can’t carry anything else, you must be good at food. Okay, then be careful. If you can’t carry it anymore, just let me know, and I’ll help you carry it to the door or even put it on the car.”

"No, I'll do it myself."

After saying that, Luo Yu carried the bamboo basket and left.

After walking a few steps, Luo Yu looked down and saw a stall selling coarse cloth. She stopped and said, "Auntie, I'd like a piece of coarse cloth."

The old woman selling cloth looked up and saw a smiling little girl standing in front of her.

"Girl, buying fabric? How much?"

How much does it cost?

"One foot of cloth costs one yuan, no coupon required."

"Come ten feet."

Seeing that Luo Yu had bought so much, the old lady was overjoyed and quickly gave Luo Yu ten feet of cloth.

"How about gray?"

"Okay, I won't be picky. Auntie, do you have any scraps of cloth here?"

"Yes, how about this one?"

"Okay, this is it."

"Then you can give me fifty cents."

The total was ten yuan and five mao, which Luo Yu paid readily.

Then he covered the old woman with the cloth and left, carrying the cloth in his hand.

With the cloth covering the fish, Luo Yu would take two steps and put one fish into his spatial storage, then take ten steps and put another fish into his storage. By the time he turned a corner and reached the other end of the market, there were only three fish left in the basket.

Following that, Luo Yu wanted to buy everything she saw, and felt that her home was lacking in everything. She even bought two pairs of hand-sewn cotton shoes.

In no time, the basket was full again.

Then Luo Yu moved further and further into the space. When she met Director Xu, there were three more cabbages in Luo Yu's basket.

"What did the director buy?"

Director Xu leaned closer to Luo Yu and whispered, "I bought five catties of meat. Do you want some? If you do, hurry up, it's just ahead."

Upon hearing that it was meat, Luo Yu's eyes lit up and she took off running.

These days, if you're not enthusiastic about eating meat, there's something wrong with your thinking; meat won't be easy to buy.

You can't buy meat in the city without ration coupons, and even if you do, you won't get a turn if you go too late.

The meat stalls are easy to find; they're definitely in the busiest part of the market.

Luo Yu also wanted to try to push her way through the crowd like the older women, but after trying for a long time, she couldn't get anyone to move and even got the people in front of her to turn around and curse at her.

Knowing she was in the wrong, Luo Yu didn't retaliate with insults. Instead, she smiled, apologized, and said some nice things. With just a few words, she made the old man in front of her laugh. When it was his turn, he even pulled her in.

"Weigh this girl out, how many pounds does she want?"

Luo Yu asked with a smile, "Can I buy more? My sister-in-law is in her postpartum period and wants to eat meat."

"Are you in postpartum confinement? Then you'll have to buy more, otherwise the baby will suffer if you don't produce enough milk. Wu'er, weigh out more for the baby."

It was obvious that the old man knew the butcher well, otherwise he wouldn't have known the man's surname.

The butcher agreed and started cutting, "Is five pounds okay?"

Luo Yu nodded quickly, "Okay, okay, thank you, big brother."

One cut and it weighed exactly five pounds; you can tell the older brother is a veteran.

The weighed meat was thrown onto the cutting board, and Luo Yu quickly took out her money.

The butcher patiently handed over a handful of change, one cent at a time. By the time Luo Yu had counted out six yuan, he had already weighed out four or five portions.

Luo Yu pursed her lips.

It was four or five cents more expensive than what was sold in the grocery store, but since no coupons were needed, it wasn't a loss.

After paying and thanking the old man, Luo Yu happily carried the meat and continued walking.

Get us some needles and thread; these things don't need to be stored away. They don't need to eat grass or feed, so just leave them there. You'll need them sooner or later.

I need a jar for pickling vegetables. I don't want to buy more, but I can't carry them all. I'll just buy one to make do for now.

She has vests and thermal underwear, but what they sell here are all big floral patterns, which are too tacky for most people, so she'd rather not.

Three pounds each of wide and thin rice noodles; only people from Northeast China know how delicious pork stew with rice noodles is.

Give me some eggs, about two pounds should be enough. I'm afraid I won't be able to carry more home.

I carefully placed the eggs into the jar, and just as I was about to take them home, someone stood next to me.

"give it to me."

Luo Yu looked up and saw that it was Xi Beizhan.

He was also carrying a bamboo basket on his back and two hemp bags in his hands, the contents of which were unclear but looked quite heavy.

"Could you have taken that much?"

Xi Beizhan laughed, "This is nothing. In the army, you have to run 10 kilometers carrying 50 pounds of weight."

After saying that, he put the bag on the ground and picked up a jar.

"Let's buy some more eggs. They can be stored in winter. This amount won't be enough for you for a few days."

"The expenses will be paid tomorrow. I'll go to the grocery store to buy them with the ration coupons."

"Sure, I have tickets too, I'll give them to you then."

He picked up the jar, hooked it with his finger, and the burlap sack was lifted up with just one finger, leaving Luo Yu wide-eyed in disbelief.

What a lot of strength.

Luo Yu sighed again, looking down.

What a waste of his strength! If he were still in the army, he could have trained his skills properly in a few years and maybe even climbed the ranks.
