Happy life of a woman in the space apocalypse

Chapter 60: First Visit to the Market

Jian Wu simply refused to speak and turned around to continue practicing her martial arts.

Shang Weidong just watched from the side without disturbing her. He found that her Kung Fu was very diverse, she seemed to know many moves, and her punches were very powerful.

Half an hour of exercise is a daily routine, and Jian Wu is so sweaty that she wants to take a shower.

Shang Weidong also boiled water early and prepared breakfast.

"Wash yourself and eat quickly. I'm going to work first."

Is this guy here just to cook and boil water? Sometimes it is really hard to understand Shang Weidong's actions.

She continued reading after dinner. This was her only job now, and she had to make sure not to lose points.

Zhao Hehua didn't come in the morning. She stayed up late last night and was in a bad mood. Or maybe she was too old to do that.

I didn't go to Jian Wu's house until almost noon. I saw my son had come back busy with work and Jian Wu was helping out with a smile on his face.

These two people are becoming more and more compatible with each other, and even working together is a pleasure to watch.

"Jian Wu, do you have anything to do this afternoon?"

"What's wrong, auntie?"

"I heard that there is a market about 20 miles from the county, open from morning to night. Why don't we go and take a look? Maybe we can buy something good."

Jian Wu nodded in agreement without hesitation. She was curious about everything in this world. She had heard of a market but had never seen one.

"Great, Weidong, can I borrow a bicycle? I'll take Jian Wu for a stroll this afternoon."

"I'll go ride one back after dinner. I know where you guys are going. Try to come back early in the evening. It's a bit chaotic."

"Okay, I'll bring a small hoe, and I'll kill anyone who messes with me."

Shang Weidong shook his head helplessly. He was not afraid considering Jian Wu's skills.

Now Jian Wu would take out some meat and vegetables in advance. Shang Weidong had already spent a lot of money before, so it was only right that they should reciprocate.

After dinner, Zhao Hehua insisted on riding a bike with Jian Wu, saying that she was stronger.

The two of them went in another direction of the county, and once they left the county, they could see a lot of people coming and going.

"Jian Wu, do you like eating fruit?"

“I like it, but there aren’t many for sale.”

"We will organize the team to pick fruits in the mountains in a few days. There will be sand apples, apricots, and wild grapes. There is a large wild grape forest on the mountain."

"Really? Are wild grapes sweet?"

"It's sweet and tasty."

Jian Wu suddenly thought of making wine. She had videos of making food, and it seemed that one of them was about how to make wine.

"Auntie, are we selling the fruits that the brigade harvested?"

"Yes, we sell them all to the supply and marketing cooperatives, leaving only a small portion for everyone to share and taste."

"Then can I pay for some wild grapes?"

"Well, why do you need to buy anything? We, your whole family and Uncle Weidong's family can share more than you can eat."

Jian Wu smiled slightly, it seemed that it took a lot of grapes to make wine.

"Aunt, I want to try making wine, and I need a lot. Can you ask me if I can buy some later?"

"If you can buy it, just tell Uncle Weidong. It doesn't matter who you sell it to."

Anyway, Jian Wu can't be allowed to spend money. How much can some grapes cost?

It only took half an hour to get there by bike. At a glance, the streets were lined with stalls and were bustling with people coming and going.

"There is also a market near our brigade. We can go there once a month."

"Really? I'll go see it next time."

"Okay, I'll call you when the time comes. By the way, Jian Wu, do you want to get a dog to guard the house? If you live alone for a long time, you might get targeted by others."

Want to raise a dog? Actually, Jian Wu likes puppies very much. Puppies are humans’ most loyal companions, but raising a life means taking responsibility, and it will be inconvenient for her to go out.

"If you don't like it, don't raise it. Ask Weidong to put a few traps in the corners of your yard. I guarantee they will work."

Jian Wu took over the cart and pushed it. It was really not easy to carry herself all the way, and her head was covered with sweat.

"I have some traps in my room, just set them up later."

"Oh my god, there are people selling homespun cloth. Jian Wu, wait a minute while I go buy some. The children at home need more clothes. Buy some homespun cloth and wash it a few times so it will be more comfortable to wear."

Jian Wu also went over to take a look out of curiosity. It turned out to be the kind of hand-woven cotton and linen cloth that was popular for a while in the past. It was a return to nature.

In fact, it would be nice to make a loose overalls skirt, park the car aside and pull it with one hand and get in.

"Jian Wu, does this color look good?"

"nice."

The blue one with vertical stripes was indeed very nice, but she was attracted by a piece of the original color of the cloth.

"1.4 cents is a bit expensive. Big sister, can you give me a discount so I can buy more and make some sheets and quilt covers."

"If you buy a roll, I'll give you 1.2 cents. We just make money from our work."

Jian Wu calculated that it would cost her less than 50 cents to make a skirt, which was really cheap.

"They're all the same color, so I can't tell whose is whose. I'll buy a few more colors for 1.3 cents."

"Okay, you have to buy more."

Jian Wu was listening to her aunt mumbling about the sizes. She was completely confused. It was really not easy to manage a household.

"Boss, give me ten feet of each of these three colors."

"You girl Jian Wu likes it too? Auntie will buy it for you."

"No, no, I'll just ask my aunt to help me do it later if I need it."

Seeing that Jian Wu acted as if she didn't want it if you bought it, Zhao Hehua had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​paying for it. She would buy it after she and her eldest son got married.

"Auntie makes beautiful clothes. I can make any style you like."

"That's great. Auntie, make me some clothes and I'll treat you to a delicious meal."

"Hahahaha, okay, I'll make it better for you, just so we can have something delicious."

After buying the cloth, I stuffed it directly into the bamboo basket. It was my aunt who insisted that I bring a basket with me when I go out.

Seeing Jian Wu stopped in front of the stall selling cloth shoes, Zhao Hehua pulled her away directly.

"My aunt can make shoes, and she makes them better than hers. I'll make them for you when we get home, and I can even embroider some subtle patterns on them for you."

Jian Wu smiled in admiration. It was really not easy for women in this era. They had to make clothes and shoes, do housework, and give birth to children. They were really versatile.

Most of the remaining people were selling dried vegetables and fruits, and there were also some wild animals, but there was really no one selling grain.

Jian Wu would buy some wild animals whenever she saw them, since they were all alive and could be kept for a few days.

"The wild animals they sell are really cheap. It's very tiring to go up the mountain."

I bought a few fruits to try. Anyway, they wouldn't be as delicious as the fruits in her space. She always had fruits when there were no guests at home every day.

"The fruit is a bit expensive now. When our team goes to buy fruit, it will be much cheaper."

"Aunt, how does it taste? It looks good in color."
