Chapter 334 Monster Stall

Although he wanted to go back to the hotel and sleep in the dark, Xia Zhihuai still carried Wanwan to the old street.

Because nearby shops would be open the next morning, the warning cordon that had been set up had been completely lifted.

Putting down Wanwan, Xia Zhihuai looked at the screen of his phone, it read 03:30 in the morning.

At this point, even the bustling night market was deserted, and most of the merchants who opened night stalls were closed for rest.

He rubbed his face, took two deep breaths of the cool air, and followed Wanwan straight towards the entrance of the Monster Market.

The entrance to the market was similar to what the seriously injured boy said. It was on the second floor of a shop. After opening the window, he jumped directly out of the window and entered a foggy area.

As they moved forward, various cries and voices became clearer.

After walking only five or sixty meters, the fog in front of his eyes completely dissipated. Xia Zhihuai looked at the scene in front of him, his eyes widened suddenly, and he couldn't close his mouth for a while.

A little fox with fiery red fur ran over from the nearby stall, wrapped its tail around Wanwan's calf, and rubbed her gently with its body.

"Are you really here?"

Wanwan knelt down and stroked the little fox's soft fur with her fleshy hands, "Well, let's come in and find two souls."

"Looking for souls?" The little fox was stunned for a moment, then stood up and used his tail to support his balance. "I have been at the entrance of the market, but I didn't notice any souls floating in."

Wanwan touched its little ears and said, "That's it. Can you help me ask other monsters?"

"Okay." The little fox grinned, showing a slightly unskilled smile, "I will set up a stall at the market. The demon is very good, let me help you ask."

"There are still two hours until daybreak. The monster market only opens once a month. You can go shopping here and maybe you can buy some good things."

Xia Zhihuai squatted down and finally withdrew his gaze: "Should the transaction be completed with money or something else instead?"

"Most monsters buy things by barter, and you can also use money."

"But many monsters don't have cell phones, so you'd better use cash."

"If you really don't have any cash, you need to go to Grandpa Niu's place to do the transaction. Grandpa Niu has a mobile phone and will help collect the money."

When Xia Zhihuai heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "That's okay, I really didn't bring any cash."

"Wanwan, the little fox is here to get some news. How about we go for a walk?"

Wanwan looked at the bustling market and was really curious about this place.

She and her brother have been to several cities, but they have never been to a place as special as the Monster Market in Hubao Ancient City.

Monsters in other cities try their best to hide their identities and rarely gather together to trade.

The little fox quickly ran away to help them inquire about the news. Xia Zhihuai and Wanwan went into the crowded market and whispered to Wanwan: "This is the first time I have encountered such an interesting place. Monsters sell it." Will the quality of the things be better? Should we buy more?"

As he spoke, he stopped in front of a stall. The stalls were full of berries. Behind the stall was a red panda sitting on a tree stump. It had reddish-brown fur and black and round eyes, watery and talking to him. After looking at each other for a while, they nervously grasped a few times with their beautiful little paws, moved their ears, and asked shyly: "Do you want to buy fruit?"

Xia Zhihuai had absolutely no resistance to this cute little creature as cute as Wanwan: "Is there anything unique about these fruits?"

This question stunned the little panda who had just become a sperm. It was stunned for a few seconds and scratched its white beard with its thick little paws: "It seems... not."

Because the red panda is not tall, the stall is also very low. Wanwan can clearly see the types of fruits on the stall at a glance.

Most of the fruits look bright red and have very nice shapes, but most of them are relatively small.Xia Zhihuai squatted in front of the stall, glanced around, and found that most of them were wild berries.

Many he didn't even recognize.

“Are these all picked from the wild?”

The red panda nodded cautiously: "I just picked it before coming to the market."

The market only opens once a month and sells only seasonal berries. In order to ensure better business, many are picked the day before.

Xia Zhihuai: "Are they all non-toxic?"

"It's not poisonous, I've eaten it all."

The red panda licked its paws. It looked at the berries placed on the stall and resisted the idea of ​​taking them back to eat.

This is for sale to customers, and they can pick it if they want to eat it.

If these fruits are sold, it can buy what it wants.

Xia Zhihuai: "Then let's buy some. Will it be very sour? I can't eat sour food."

Wanwan had already reached out and picked up a black fruit, and the tip of her nose moved slightly: "Can I have a taste?"

The red panda opened his eyes blankly and nodded slowly.

Wanwan threw it directly into her mouth, her eyes widened slightly: "It's delicious. This fruit is actually warmed by demonic power?"

The red panda nodded: "This is a blackberry. It is actually rare in the area where we live. It took me a lot of effort to find it. This kind of berry is delicious, but it is not easy to preserve. I usually pick three. The taste will change after about an hour. So I use demon power to keep it warm and it can be preserved for a day."

Wanwan pointed at the blackberries on the stall: "Brother, do I want to eat this?"

Xia Zhihuai knows about blackberries. They are not easy to store, so they are quite rare on the market and cannot be bought in most supermarkets.

When he was recording a program in the past, he had met merchants who grew blackberries. The blackberries sold in the country of origin may not be particularly expensive, but once they leave the country of origin, the price will double and rise.

Buying a pound of blackberries online now costs more than 100 yuan, and most of them are short of a pound or two.

Berries like blackberries are not sold by the kilogram, but are sold in small plastic boxes. One box usually contains 125 grams.

He bought it once, and even if it was shipped by air, it couldn't retain the taste when it was just picked, so after buying it once, he never bought it again.

Looking at the very tempting blackberries, Xia Zhihuai couldn't help but taste one, and immediately decided to round up the few blackberries on the stall.

"Wanwan, is there any way to preserve these blackberries for a longer period of time?"

Wanwan thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, just draw a talisman."

Hearing this, the red panda slightly opened its round black eyes, and looked at Wanwan with envy.

It's actually not worthwhile to use demon power to warm blackberries, but once a month, it still bites the bullet and uses it.

It wouldn't be too convenient if there was something that could preserve fruits.
