Chapter 112 Catch the big market
Passing through the bustling crowd, Shi You finally arrived at the stall selling chicken feet.
The cooked food on the stall was covered with a layer of gauze, and there were a lot of incense sticks on the surrounding tables, emitting bursts of white smoke that was quite choking.
There are also a few small wingless fans hanging on the roof of the shed, with ribbons hanging on them. As the ribbons turn, the fans dance lightly, driving away the insects around.
Such an arrangement is very common in rural summer markets. The configuration of this stall is relatively complete, and all the necessary equipment is used. It is obvious that the stall owner pays great attention to hygiene and the environment.
In fact, the phenomenon of insects flying around is common in rural markets in summer. The various scents not only attract passers-by, but also attract insects flying around. It is completely unavoidable.
Shi You used to encounter this often when he went to the market, but more often he would go to the supermarket and buy everything directly, as it was a little cleaner there.
At this moment, there was no one at the stall. Shi You cleared his throat and shouted into the house, "Boss, I want to buy chicken feet." The voice was not very conspicuous in the noisy market, but it was quickly responded to.
"I'm coming. Wait a moment." The voice in the house sounded a little vicissitudes of life. As the voice fell, a middle-aged woman walked out of the house. She was wearing an old apron and had a warm smile on her face.
"What do you want, young man?"
Shi You stood in front of the stall, pointing at the large pot of steaming, fragrant braised chicken feet, and said without hesitation: "Boss, give me 5 catties of braised chicken feet, 3 catties of chicken livers, 3 catties of chicken gizzards and chicken hearts, and 3 catties of chicken necks."
When the proprietress heard this, she was delighted, this was a big order!
"Okay, I'll pick the best for you."
She swiftly picked up the bag and clips and began to pack things according to Shi You's request.
The things that Shiyou wanted were of many types and in considerable quantities.
Especially chicken feet, due to their relatively high price, generally only people who love to eat them will buy them, and often only one or two kilograms.
It's really rare to see someone like Shi You order 5 kilograms at a time.
As for other chicken offal foods, such as chicken liver, gizzards, and chicken hearts, although they each have their own flavor and many people like them, today's consumers have become health conscious and believe that eating too much of these things is not good for them, so even if they are cheap, not many of them will sell.
Today happens to be a big market day, so the boss lady’s husband specially prepared some extra food, all of which are freshly cooked. Unexpectedly, he would meet such a big customer.
All these miscellaneous items add up to more than two hundred.
The proprietress was busy packing things while smiling and saying to Shi You, "Young man, you bought so many delicious foods because you have guests at home? You came to the right place today. The stewed food here is all homemade and the taste is absolutely authentic. My husband got up early and prepared them all."
When Shi You heard that the other person had already found an excuse for herself, she continued chatting with her: "Yes, a few friends said they wanted to come over for a gathering. They all like to eat these braised dishes. At noon, we can have a glass of cold beer and have a good drink."
After hearing this, the female boss' eyes flashed with joy, and she enthusiastically recommended: "That's great! I have peanuts here, and these pig ears are also good. You can eat them alone or take them home and mix them with cold dishes. They are perfect with wine! Do you want some too?"
When he heard the word pig ears, Shi You's mind immediately emerged with the crunchy texture, which made him swallow his saliva. He was somewhat unable to resist the temptation of the proprietress.
"No need for peanuts, I've already bought them at home. As for pig ears, please give me two pounds!" Shi You said to the proprietress with a smile.
"Okay, wait till I weigh these and I'll get them for you right away."
The proprietress worked very efficiently. In a short while, she had packed all the things Shiyou wanted. Then she picked up the knife on the chopping board and started preparing pig ears for Shiyou.
Shi You carried several heavy bags of braised food and very naturally stuffed most of them into Jiang Hengzhou's hands. The two of them left the stall side by side.
It was a bit of a mistake. I couldn't resist and bought all of them when I saw so many of them. Now I have quite a lot in my hands, and there are still many things I haven't bought. Besides, they won't taste good when they get cold later.
Shi You’s little head turned around, and he thought of the black bag in the space, and instantly had an idea.
Taking out a folding canvas bag from his pocket, Shi You put all the things he was holding into it. In fact, he transferred a large part of the things into the space. Since he was on the street, he still had to be careful about what he should do.
After some operation, the weight in the bag was obviously reduced a lot.
Shi You nodded with satisfaction and handed the bag to Jiang Hengzhou again.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Comrade Zhou Zhou. Keep going."
Jiang Hengzhou smiled helplessly, took the bag, and the two continued to walk forward.
Originally, I planned to walk from the beginning to the end, and then start from the end and walk forward, but there were so many temptations of delicious food along the way that Shi You couldn't resist at all.
For example, now, Shi You was standing next to the roast duck oven, his eyes fixed on the roast duck in the big pot with golden color, crispy skin and tender meat.
He pointed to the one he thought was the best roasted and said to the boss: "Boss, this is it, cut it into pieces."
The boss skillfully took the roast duck out of the oven and cut it with a knife: "Young man, do you want some cumin and chili?"
“More cumin and less chili.”
He actually likes spicy food very much, but now that he has a new body, he is still in the adaptation stage and needs to proceed step by step.
The boss's movements were very efficient, and in a short while, Jiang Hengzhou had another serving of roast duck in his hands.
Shi You nodded with satisfaction, gnawed on the duck leg, pulled Jiang Hengzhou's sleeve, and continued walking forward.
After walking a few steps, Shi You was immediately attracted by the aroma of chicken fork bones as he heard the sizzling sound of oil. He took a step forward involuntarily, ready to order some.
However, just as he was about to reach the stall, Jiang Hengzhou stopped him.
"Be good, don't go over there." Jiang Hengzhou frowned, his voice full of admonition, "The raw material of that chicken fork bone doesn't taste very good, it's a bit spoiled, it's not good for your health if you eat it."
After hearing this, Shi You's steps towards the stall stopped instantly. He turned his head to look at Jiang Hengzhou, moved a little closer to him, and whispered, "You have a very powerful nose, but let's not talk about this in front of other people's stalls in the future."
Fortunately, they were still some distance away from the stall and the very burly boss didn't hear them, otherwise the two illegal immigrants would have had to go in for tea.
