Hard times have room

Chapter 70

Although her makeup skills are not very good, it is not a problem to change the complexion and contour of her face with these cosmetics applied to her face. Pauline focused on the eyebrows, thickening them a lot, making them look more mature.

Use a piece of cloth as a headscarf, put height-enhancing insoles under your feet, and put on a set of clothes that her mother doesn't often wear, without patches, but the color looks a little whitish. Fits well.

After getting dressed, Pauline took out the mirror and took a look at herself. At first glance, she looked like an ordinary young girl with a rather immature face and a pretty good-looking face. There was nothing special, as long as others saw it, she would not think she was a little girl. Pretending, I can't guess that she is Wang Baolin, that's enough.

Afterwards, Paulin sneaked out the door, locked the door with a lock, and brought the key. The lock of her house is still the copper lock used in the old house. It has been used for more than ten years, and it is still working!Two keys, one in Bao Lin's hand and the other in Su Hongying's hand.

The kitchen door was also locked with the new lock I bought yesterday. After all, they are a little far away from the neighbors, so they can't serve as a warning, so it's better to buy a lock to lock the house. There are many people who are cheap and stealing chickens.

As soon as she walked out of the house, Paulin did not dare to take the main road, but walked behind the house and walked through the small bamboo forest, and she could see a pine forest. This forest is very large, and there are many paths in the pine forest. The villagers stepped in and out. The pine forest and the forest in the back mountain of Chenjiazhuang were connected together. The two villages also cut a road in the middle to divide the forest as a boundary.

Usually, picking mushrooms, picking branches, etc. can be ignored and stringed casually, but this tree and this land can be clearly divided, and there is no ambiguity at all.

Walking through this forest, Paulin walks around a bit, and when she comes out, she can go directly to Chenjiazhuang and the large gathering place, but this mountain road is not as convenient as the main road.

The most convenient road from Shanghe Village to Chenjiazhuang is the dirt road that can connect to various villages and that can run ox-cart tractors. Of course, it can’t be done in heavy rain. You are stuck in a mud pit, and you can't push it out without the help of three or five big men.

It's still too early, and Paulin walked through the woods without encountering anyone, and came to the Chenjiazhuang Grand Collection unharmed all the way.

Paulin put on her clothes this time because she didn't want to be recognized by the villagers or other people she knew about what she bought at the fair. She wanted to keep these things a secret and not let others know.

At the same time, I don't plan to go with other people. I have secrets on my body and there are people next to me, so it's not very convenient.

And another point is that if you meet those aunts and aunts in the village, the other party would like to ask you where you bought the green onion, no matter how big or small, then go back to the village so that you can have a discussion with others. .

This is not an exception. After all, there are only so many people in the village now, and there are usually no entertainment activities to pass the time. Isn't it just to chew and talk about other people in the village closely!

Paulin has seen with her own eyes that an aunt was gossiping with another aunt the day before and complained about how the other aunt was doing here, how bad it was there, how stingy she was at ordinary times, how fierce she was with her mother-in-law, and how unfilial she was. The next day, you can have a good time with the aunt who was teased about the day before, chatting and laughing, and telling the aunt who is talking about you. She is usually lazy at work, and her hands and feet are not very clean. In short , This person is not good, there is a problem with his character, and he usually likes to make irresponsible remarks.

In a word, Paulin believes that those aunties and aunts in the village may not have any bad intentions, they are just bored to find something to talk about, but they are really two-faced. Hi, it makes me speechless.

Paulin usually doesn't like to be in contact with them, so it's better to go back to the room to stay alone or go to the back mountain to dig some wild vegetables and pick some wild fruits after listening to them chatting.

Out of the pine forest, I saw the Chenjiazhuang Daji. There are not many people now. There are only a dozen people waiting for customers to come with things in front of the whole assembly.

The Daji was carried out in an open space, where weeds were overgrown with rocks, and it was difficult to reclaim it. In addition, the Daji decided to open on the boundary of Chenjiazhuang. After several leaders of Chenjiazhuang discussed it, the land was designated as Great gathering place.

Anyone who wants to sell something, just come here and set up a stall directly. The same is true for buying things. If you want to buy something, just come and visit, and see the two parties that agree on the price.

It is still early, there are not many people here, only people from Chenjiazhuang or some people from several villages near Chenjiazhuang set up stalls there.

There are food for sale, such as ordinary porridge, steamed sweet potatoes and bone soup. They are not expensive and make a lot of money.

There are bamboo-woven wooden utensils, some are small and exquisite, some are simple and durable, the craftsmen are very skilled, there are many patterns, there is always something you need, of course, if you are not satisfied with these, you can also customize it individually, directly in the collection. Talk to the stall owner or come to the door on another day, pay a deposit, and you can get it in three or five days, which is very convenient.

Baolin saw from a distance that the meat stall was about to be set up, and was now placing meat on the chopping board. This is the stall of the county meat federation factory, which is available in all villages and towns.

The ones sold above are generally spare ribs with no meat, stinky and unpopular viscera, as well as pig trotters and pig heads. According to the market at this time, these are all inferior meat, from the meat factory. After the pigs are slaughtered, they are frozen in the refrigerator. When they arrive at the townships, they don’t need meat tickets. They are sold at different prices according to the different parts of the pigs, and the inventory is cleaned up.

After all, you can only buy meat from supply and marketing cooperatives or vegetable markets. You need a meat ticket. If you want the same meat as you, do you want the bone-in, bad, or pure meat!You definitely don’t have to think about it to know the result. I can’t buy it today, can I queue up early tomorrow? Why do I have to buy that unpopular inferior meat with bones?

Paulin watched the stall stand up, and hurriedly ran over to line up. Yes, it was a line. Now there were eight or nine people lined up in front of the meat stall. In their hands, looking at them as skilled as a group, they should all belong to Chenjiazhuang.

Buy meat early, otherwise people who bring some better meat will be picked away, and the latter can only be picked from a pile of crooked melons and jujubes, and those who come late will be worse, maybe There are only piles of bones left, and there is no need to pick them.
