Traveling through books in the 70s: The group favors the Wang family’s little koi carp

Shen Jin: "System, why do I suddenly feel flustered?"

Shen Jin, who was being pulled by Mrs. Cai to scan goods in the market, touched his chest and always felt that something bad was going to happen.

At that time, Shen Jin didn't know that the next day and night would be a journey through hell for her aunt Shen Niannian. As lively and happy as they were here, her aunt's side would be miserable and desolate.

It's just that people can't predict the future, just like she didn't expect that the blessings she sent out in the morning would slowly float to the city, and would save Shen Niannian's life when she was about to die tonight.

At this time, Shen Jin didn't know anything. She looked at the gloomy sky and attributed the reason for her discomfort to the weather.

System: "Maybe it's windy and the host is choking."

"Should I say it, the wind is quite strong today." Shen Jin touched his belly and chirped, "It's such a cold day, I should eat hotpot. In my previous life, I loved hot pot in winter."

The system transformed into a fiery red koi carp in Shen Jin's mind. Hearing this, he rolled his eyes and said, "You want to eat shit? Where do you want me to get mutton these days? I'm afraid the host is embarrassing my little koi carp!"

"Mutton! Wild goat meat just caught on the mountain!" Suddenly, a cry for mutton passed through the dense crowd and reached Shen Jin's ears.

Shen Jin: "Look, isn't this coming?"

The system poured cold water on her: "Dear, we are a koi system, not a robbery system. Believe me, even if you are lucky enough to meet a mutton seller, that pile of mutton will not belong to you. Your milk will break it with your teeth. It’s impossible for her to buy it for you, she would rather let you chew her flesh.”

"...It's not necessary, I'm not that kind of an animal."

Shen Jin reluctantly peeked in the direction of the mutton store. Thinking of the tender and fragrant hot-boiled mutton, he swallowed in vain. Nowadays, meat essence is expensive, and people in the city who want to eat meat have to queue up with meat tickets early in the morning to get it. .

Not to mention it’s expensive, but it’s too late to get it.

You want to say that there is a mutton seller in the market. There is no need to fight and queue up, and you don’t even need a meat ticket... No, but why doesn’t anyone dare to take advantage of this good thing?Because you can tell with your knees that this kind of meat on the black market must be extremely expensive.

At least it's three times more expensive than a grain and oil store. How many wealthy households are there in the valley?Even if she had money, she wouldn't be willing to buy such expensive meat. As the system said, Mrs. Cai would definitely rather cut her own meat than cut off the expensive mutton.

Shen Jin looked away. She wanted to take the full amount, but her strength didn't allow it.

It’s not that I don’t have the money, but I have the money to buy mutton. I can’t do anything with it. It’s not that I’m greedy and insist on eating this bite of mutton. If I don’t eat it, I won’t be able to live longer. It’s unnecessary. It’s unnecessary to buy it. For the meat money, she at least gave Shen Jiang Province a bicycle wheel and handlebars.

The 14-year-old girl puffed up her chest proudly. After spending time with her breasts for a long time, even she became a master of daily life!

Old Mrs. Cai was careless, holding her little granddaughter in her left hand, and carrying a sack of defective cloth, toffee, pots and pans in her right hand... Her old face was as happy as the best chrysanthemum blooming in winter.

The old lady had never realized the freedom of shopping in her life, and she finally experienced it when she was old. It was when she was most excited about shopping, so she naturally didn't notice her granddaughter's concern for mutton.

The house next to her was not divided, and she had nothing to buy. Mrs. Luo was afraid of losing her children because of the crowd, so she kept an eye on Shen Jin and her grandson. As soon as she paid attention, she immediately noticed that Shen Jin was interested in them. Lamb cravings.

He grabbed Old Mrs. Cai, who was still fighting with a bunch of people to grab the pickled cabbage jar, and pointed to the mutton stall over there: "My daughter might want to eat mutton, how about we go over and have a look?"

"mutton?"

If Luo Hehua wanted to eat mutton, Mrs. Cai would spit on her and ask her if she looked like mutton. She would scold her and say she wanted to eat mutton without looking in the mirror to see if she was worthy.

But Luo Hehua just said that she wanted to eat mutton...

"Nanny, do you want to eat mutton?" Mrs. Cai twisted her facial muscles and tried to look pleasant.

Shen Jin shuddered: "No, I just took a look."

"Eat!" Mrs. Cai stamped her foot, "Let's take a closer look. If my daughter wants to breastfeed, just buy her two taels."

One thing about Mrs. Cai is very good, that is, what she says is one. She will not fool people, nor will she perfunctoryly say that she will buy milk for you later, or stand in the position of an elder and fool the children by saying that mutton is poisonous and will make them hungry to stop them from wanting to eat it. Thoughts of meat.

Just like yesterday when Widow Liu gave Shen Hua'er candy, Mrs. Cai said she wanted to buy a pound of toffee for her fourth child. Just now I saw someone selling toffee. Although she felt distressed, she still weighed a pound.

In Shen Jin's view, this is the wisdom that belongs only to Mrs. Cai, which is to meet the children's requirements within a limited range. The acceptable amount of milk sugar spent by Mrs. Cai is one pound, so she directly told the child her bottom line. , like mutton, Mrs. Cai only dared to buy two taels.

She was so desperate that she was only willing to buy two taels for her favorite little granddaughter, so she said straightforwardly that she would buy two taels for her little granddaughter.

Sensible children will know how to accept things when they are easy. Even if the ignorant children are persistent, Mrs. Cai will not give in. Over time, the children will understand and acquiesce in this education method, that is, they want something. Whatever the elders say is the ration, that’s what it is.

But she is not a child anymore. Shen Jin silently squeezed Old Mrs. Cai's hand, raised her face and smiled brightly: "Hey, why are you buying that thing? You can buy several sauerkraut jars with just two taels. Let's buy the sauerkraut jars and then Go home and stock up on sauerkraut, and wait for the Chinese New Year to eat sauerkraut stew.”

Mrs. Cai didn't say anything, feeling sour in her heart. She held her sensible little granddaughter in her hand. The entire Daji, no, the entire Dayang Village production brigade, her little granddaughter was the best match for mutton!

She had to let her little girl eat mutton today!

"Milk?"

I was pulled to the stall by Mrs. Cai. The meat seller was a middle-aged uncle. He was tall, round, and bearded. He had a very typical image of a butcher, but in this era when people are generally thin and have sallow faces, such an image...

Shen Jin felt that the reason for his inability to sell meat should not be based solely on the meat. This uncle almost had the words "I am a bad element" written on his face.

It looks like someone is going to rip someone off, who dares to buy from him!

"Where is your sister? Didn't you say you would take her to buy kitchen candy? Why are you back so soon?"

Behind the meat stall, the uncle was talking angrily to a young man. When the customers came to the stall, they showed no intention of paying attention. He was asked about the price all morning by an old woman like Mrs. Cai. After asking, he was reluctant to buy. He kept asking and walking around. People are annoying.

Seeing this, Shen Jin hurriedly grabbed her breast and said, "Milk, I really don't want to eat. Let's go. It's time to disperse in a while. Don't you still have a bunch of things you haven't bought?"

System: "Ding, the mission is released. Find the lost Chen Hongying. Chen Hongying is in danger. Please accept the mission as soon as possible. The mission rewards three koi points. Note that if the mission fails to be completed, as a punishment, the host's skin will be returned to two black points. Chroma, please host seriously consider whether to accept the mission."

Holding Mrs. Cai's hand, the three koi points are indeed very tempting.

But it can go back two degrees...then he becomes a non-chief?

"Dad, Hongying said she was going to buy hair ties over there. It was right next to the stove candy store. I spent a long time picking and choosing. I was impatient to wait for her and came back first." Behind the meat stall, the young man said He was explaining to the bearded uncle with his hands spread out.

Hongying?

Such a coincidence?

Shen Jin reflexively looked up at the young man who was speaking. It was a casual glance, but he didn't expect...

"He's lying."

"What?" Mrs. Cai didn't know why her granddaughter said such words without any clue.

Shen Jin raised his voice: "When he spoke, he blinked very slowly. He didn't dare to look at the uncle, and his eyes kept turning to the right. He was exactly the same as Shen Xiaobao every time he lied and made up lies."

I apologized perfunctorily to Shen Xiaobao in my heart. After all, she was just a country girl who hadn't studied for a few years. She couldn't always quote old ladies about the microexpressions and behavioral psychology of lying.

After Shen Jin finished speaking, the bearded uncle behind the meat stall had not yet reacted.

But the young man on the opposite side had already begun to use the boning knife to sign and drive people away: "Go, go, go, where is this country bumpkin? He can afford to buy meat and hang around here. The little girl is doing nothing."
