Hard times have room

Chapter 36 Seafood
The next day, when it was just dawn in the morning, Bao Lin and Li Cao packed their things early and went to the river to wash up.

In fact, it is to wash your face, rinse your mouth, and comb your hair neatly.

After all, in this case, it is impossible for the two to say take a shower and change clothes, the conditions do not allow it!
When Pauline was combing her hair, she touched her own hair. It was greasy. It was a bit bad. If there is a chance, I will definitely cut it when I go back. , is definitely a good choice.

Although it is now a student head with a pot lid, the kind that is shoulder-length, but you can still fight for it, and make it shorter.

I smelled the clothes I was wearing. Well, it's been two or three days. It's already smelly, but at this time, it's absolutely normal. After all, cotton and linen clothes can't help washing at this time. It will break when it is often rubbed.

So at this time, the bath can be washed often, but the clothes are definitely not washed often.

It's normal operation if the clothes you wear are smelly or something.

"Paulin, you said I'll look for it here, will it work?" After Li Cao finished washing up, he looked at the scene in front of him eagerly.

The large paddy fields are full of seedlings, and the houses that can be seen in the village are also large brick houses or mud brick houses. If you look at the houses here, you will know that this place is rich and life is easy.

"Well, if it's good, of course."

Paulin knew what she was thinking at a glance, but there are a lot of girls in this place who want to marry in. If Li Cao, a helpless orphan girl, wants to find a man of good character here, it will be difficult for her to marry. what!

Forget it, check it out for her, have you ever seen a pig run before eating pork?
When she sees something wrong, she stops her, but she always needs to be satisfied. God, just thinking about it is a huge responsibility. It's so difficult!
Forget it, let's go and see!

After the two of them had breakfast "water celery with white porridge", they went to the Tongmao Village market with their things on their backs. It was already around eight o'clock.

This market is very lively, people come and go, bustling, and there are people everywhere who carry backpacks to buy and sell things.

Going inside, near the pier by the river, there are many people from fishing villages setting up stalls there.

They are all fishermen who row fishing boats to Tongmao Village to sell seafood and exchange things early in the morning.

They rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the sea to eat the sea. Although they live by the sea, they have gifts from the sea, but one thing is that the seaside soil is barren, the land is seriously salinized, and nothing can be grown. , so it is often necessary to come to Tongmao Village to exchange seafood for grain and vegetables.

Most of their stalls are some seafood, such as common seafood such as sea fish, kelp, octopus, prawns, salted fish, small fish, seashells, scallops, conch and so on.

Paulin looked at these seafood, silently estimating the things in her space, not knowing what they could get in exchange!
That's right, Pauline was moved when she saw these things, it's meat, it's protein!

However, now is not the time to move, and it is not easy for the two to do it together.

"Sister, let's go shopping separately. Whoever goes shopping first will just wait here." Paulin looked at the seafood on the booth and was unwilling to give up this rare opportunity.

"That's fine, but you can take the money and buy something to eat. If you get tired of shopping, come here to gather."

"Don't go too far, and don't follow people."

Li Cao thought about it for a while, and looked at her almond eyes with eager water, she couldn't bear to refuse Bao Lin's proposal, but she reached out and took out a handful of change from her trousers pocket and handed it to Bao Lin, reluctantly. exhorted.

Maybe it was Pauline who wanted to buy something, and she felt uncomfortable being around her, but she wouldn't go deep into Pauline's behavior and thoughts, this was personal privacy.

Looking at the change in her hand, there are 5 yuan, 5 cents, and [-] cent. This amount of money is [-] yuan, but Paulin didn't refuse. Now she really has no money on her, and she will wait to see her next time. Lin will supply her.

In terms of money, in addition to her parents, Pauline likes to make clear calculations with others and does not want to have too many interests involved. After all, no matter how good a relationship is, there are too many financial interests mixed with it, and it will mutate after a long time.

Some things really can't stand the test, and Pauline doesn't plan to use these to test people's human nature.

Originally, she planned to use the bamboo shoots, mushrooms, sweet potatoes, etc. in the space to try and see if they could be changed. If it didn't work, she would cut her own sheets and quilts into fabrics and replace them.

After all, at this time, nothing is valuable, and the same is true of fabrics. It is easy to exchange this thing, but it is too difficult to buy it back.

With this money, plus the bamboo shoots and mushrooms in the space, I should be able to exchange a lot of things.

It took Pauline more than three hours to exchange bamboo shoots for a lot of clams, sea shells and conch shells. There were also more than a dozen scallops, and mushrooms. These things add up to about [-] to [-] pounds. The main shell is heavy. , There is not much meat, and it will only be ten pounds if you peel it out!

These snails and clams are all "skinned" with fresh bamboo shoots. Three catties of fresh bamboo shoots are exchanged for one catty. Baolin thinks it is still worth it. After all, there are really many fresh bamboo shoots in Shanghe Village. There are large bamboo forests!

Next time in the season of digging bamboo shoots, you must work harder and put more space.

Just to replace these snails, the fresh bamboo shoots on the Baolin space bed will only be consumed in a small corner, about [-] to [-] pounds. She is exhausted. After changing with a stall owner, she has to Go out of the market with a backpack, change your clothes after a while outside, or change your clothes away from the original place, and then change with another stall owner.

After three or four times, she was paralyzed, so she decided to keep the rest of the bamboo shoots, wait for the next time, or save it for herself.

I also exchanged 15 fresh sea fish, all of which were one or two catties. This fish can only be bought with grain or money.

The thumb-sized shrimp was exchanged for two kilograms. This thing costs three cents one kilogram, two kilograms six cents. This shrimp can only be bought with money. It is delicious, but it is too expensive. Pauline is not willing to buy too much. I bought two pounds to try it out.

The dried kelp was exchanged for a large package. This one was cheap. It only cost a half-pound package of dried mushrooms. A piece of dried kelp soaked was enough for a meal. This package was enough for Pauline to consume for a long time.

I bought [-] pieces of salted fish. This thing is cheap, [-] cents a pound, and it is not very dry, so I put some sea salt on it and let it dry for a long time. Maybe because it is sold once a month, it does not need to be stored for too long.

Salted fish can be exchanged for coarse grains such as sweet potatoes or coarse cornmeal. Three catties of sweet potatoes or coarse cornmeal can be exchanged for one catty of salted fish, so this thing is very popular in this market.

Paulin went to several stalls to buy these seventeen fish, which were basically about a pound or one and a half. There was also a stall that sold bigger fish than other stall owners. Paulin bought five fish there, probably all of them. There are three jins of fish, and the price of this fish is also more expensive, at seven cents a jin. The seventeen pieces of salted fish cost Paulin 2 yuan in total.

Pauline also bought some wild small abalones when she saw that they were selling them. It cost 25 cents for 7 pieces, which is a bit expensive, about three cents each.

It only cost 5 yuan to buy so many things. At this time, the money is really valuable, and the sea next to it is rich in resources. In addition, these seafood are sold directly by fishermen, so it is so cheap.

　Today, the two updates are finally completed, thank you for your support
