"Fresh fish and shrimp, jumping around!"
"Sweet fruits, no money if they're not sweet!"
The energetic hawking echoed in the air.
Walking into the market, Li Mengyao first came to the snack stall, where a strong aroma filled her nose.
She looked closely and saw that it was a large iron barrel oven that was emitting an alluring aroma, filled with sweet potatoes that were baked to a golden skin and fragrant.
"Auntie, how much is this baked sweet potato?" Li Mengyao pointed at the large iron barrel oven and asked curiously.
The auntie selling sweet potatoes smiled and replied, "The smaller ones are only three yuan each; the larger ones are six yuan each. These are all grown in my own fields, and they are guaranteed to be soft, glutinous and sweet!"
Li Mengyao saw that the larger ones were obviously more than twice as large as the smaller ones.
If I buy two big ones, I may not be able to finish them, but buying two small ones seems a bit of a loss...
After a brief thought, Li Mengyao finally made up her mind and said, "Auntie, give me a big one."
"Okay!" The sweet potato seller responded readily, and then reached out to pick out a large roasted sweet potato from the iron stove, skillfully put it into the bag and handed it to Li Mengyao.
After Li Mengyao got it, she gently broke the roasted sweet potato in her hand into two halves.
Then, she handed one half to Lin Xuan beside her and said gently, "Husband, come and try it."
Lin Xuan tasted it first. The sweet potato was roasted just right, with a soft and dense texture and just the right sweetness, without the feeling of being overly sweet.
"It's delicious." Lin Xuan nodded with satisfaction.
Li Mengyao blew gently on the half roasted sweet potato, and then took a careful bite.
Instantly, the wonderful taste spread in her mouth, making her squint her eyes involuntarily, and her heart was like honey.
"Meat buns, fresh meat buns!"
"Golden and crispy fried dough sticks!"
At this time, the stall owner's shouting came from not far away.
Li Mengyao looked over, and a glimmer of excitement flashed in her eyes.
She happily took Lin Xuan's hand and said happily: "Let's go and have a look!"
As they said, the two walked towards the stall.
"Boss, give me two barbecued pork buns."
"Auntie, give me two fried dough sticks!"
...
Half an hour later, next to a stall selling special pig's trotter noodles.
At this time, a young couple was sitting there leisurely, enjoying the delicious pig's trotter noodles.
Lin Xuan looked at Li Mengyao, who was happily eating noodles, and asked softly, "Wife, are we here for the market?"
Li Mengyao raised her head, nodded coquettishly, and said, "Yes, we are here for the market."
As she spoke, she picked up a piece of plump pork trotter with chopsticks and brought it to Lin Xuan's mouth, smiling and saying, "Come on, open your mouth and try this."
Lin Xuan obediently opened his mouth, chewed the fragrant pork trotter, and muttered incoherently, "I haven't bought anything yet."
As he spoke, he pointed to the empty cart next to him.
Li Mengyao held the bowl in front of her with both hands, drank a big mouthful of delicious noodle soup happily, and then smacked her lips with satisfaction and said: "You have to fill your stomach first, otherwise how can you have the energy to go shopping?"
Then she said with a satisfied look: "Burp~ I'm full, husband, let's go to the market now!"
Lin Xuan shook his head dotingly, smiled helplessly and said: "Greedy wife."
Then he took out a white tissue from the paper box on the table and gently wiped the soup left on the corner of Li Mengyao's mouth.
Then, Li Mengyao happily took Lin Xuan's hand and continued to walk deeper into the market.
As she walked, she began to look for the shopping list in her hand.
Soon, the originally empty cart was gradually filled with various daily necessities and fresh ingredients.
"It seems that I have bought almost everything." Li Mengyao muttered, but her eyes were still looking around.
Lin Xuan at the side followed closely beside her.
Just then, Li Mengyao's eyes were attracted by a seafood stall not far away.
There were several large basins full of seafood in front of the old man, one of which contained particularly large oysters, which looked very tempting.
Li Mengyao walked up quickly and asked curiously, "Boss, how much are you selling these oysters?"
The old man raised his head, a kind smile appeared on his face, and replied, "Little girl, our oysters are of very good quality! Not only are they super big, but they are also very delicious! One costs tenYuan. "
When Li Mengyao heard the price, she couldn't help but frowned and whispered: "It's so expensive, can it be cheaper?"
As she said that, she reached out and gently picked up a piece of oyster. Wow, this oyster is even bigger than her palm!
Seeing this, the old man smiled and explained: "Girl, don't think it's expensive. These oysters were just shipped from the seaside at around four o'clock this morning. They are absolutely fresh. They are so big, so the cost is naturally high. I just earn hard-earned money."
"Uncle, how about this, you see there are about ten oysters in this basket, I want them all, can you give me nine yuan each?" Li Mengyao rolled her eyes and said.
The old man hesitated for a moment, looked Li Mengyao up and down, and finally nodded readily, smiling and said:
"Okay, you look so beautiful and cute, and you are sweet, then I will sell it to you for nine yuan each! "
Li Mengyao hurriedly thanked him after hearing this: "Thank you, sir." Then she happily paid.
After buying the oysters, she looked at the full cart behind her.
"Honey, we bought about the same amount, right?" Li Mengyao said.
"Yeah, it's almost there." Lin Xuan nodded slightly.
Li Mengyao showed a satisfied look on her face, she gently took Lin Xuan's hand and said: "Then let's get ready to go back."
After that, she took Lin Xuan's hand and turned around and walked back slowly along the way they came.
