Chapter 284 Meeting at the market
At night, Luo Cheng held Zhao Qian in his arms and did not sleep immediately. He had just returned home and wanted to get some supplies tonight. It's already so late now, it will be twelve o'clock after staying up for a while.
Zhao Qian was already asleep in her arms, and Luo Cheng was asking himself, after all, he had accidentally touched Hongxiu just now. But that's not what Luo Cheng was asking for, but that he found that he didn't have much sense of importance.
There are already three women, Zhao Qian, Zheng Ke and Liu Xiaofei. Luo Cheng admits that he is quite lucky, but this is not an indifferent attitude towards other women. Especially in this era, it is very shameful for a woman to be seen naked. Luo Cheng actually had the idea just now that it would be nothing if he just touched it.
Luo Cheng felt that it was enough for him and he should never provoke women again. This is not only a moral issue, but he has never had the mentality of abandoning it after playing with it. Therefore, there are too many women for him to cope with.
That is to say, Zhao Qian was pregnant for ten months and the child was born. Luo Cheng did hold it in for a long time. How can I put this? Although in the future era, he often interacted with Liu Xiaofei, but in his own era, his body did not vent.
Just like his behavior in the future era, to him in his own era, it is just a very real movie. Just because he went to the toilet to pee in the future era does not mean that he peed in his own era.
This raises a problem. If the body is not satisfied in an era, no matter how real the feeling is, there will still be a sense of emptiness. But if the bodies of both eras were satisfied, Luo Cheng would feel a little tired. In particular, there was a situation that made Luo Cheng sometimes feel resistant to things between men and women.
For example, at night in my own time, I just went to bed with my wife Zhao Qian, and then woke up early in the future time, and Liu Xiaofei came to tease me. Then Luo Cheng would have the feeling that as soon as he finished this, he would have to do that thing again when he opened his eyes.
Especially sometimes, Luo Cheng relied on his physical strength to come more than once at night and wake up from another era. If I come again, there will really be some ideological confusion.
At first, this feeling was actually exciting for Luo Cheng. He had just finished with his wife in his own era, and he could be with his girlfriend again in the future era. Luo Cheng had a feeling of "flying together", but now he provoked Zheng Ke again in his own era. In the future, it will be difficult for him to satisfy Liu Xiaofei.
Luo Cheng will have money in the future era, but in his own era, he will have a job and materials. If there is no moral bottom line and he has good looks, he can really harm countless women. So he hugged Zhao Qian and looked at the two children in the bed. He warned himself that he really had to control himself, even if it was the woman who took the initiative.
It was almost twelve o'clock at night, and Luo Chengcai forced himself to sleep. He had thought that when Luo Yan went to work tomorrow, he would take Hong Xiu away. Clean yourself up, and then pay the public food properly. But you have to be careful not to let Zhao Qian get pregnant again. The child is now small and she is breastfeeding. If she gets pregnant again and is weaned, it will be inconvenient to take care of the child.
How can this milk powder be as convenient and quick as just lifting up the clothes?

Future era, Sioux City, suburbs.
Luo Cheng arrived here yesterday. He took the high-speed train to the main city here and then took a taxi.
Luo Cheng felt that he still cared about gains and losses, and most of the time he still thought about spending money wisely. The calculation of what is cost-effective and what is not cost-effective is a bit too much. In fact, he can make things happen in two eras. In many cases, he can make a lot of money even if it is not cost-effective.
Since we were raking in supplies and trying to cover up the situation, we might as well buy a big truck. Luo Cheng has already learned the C1 driver's license. He is going to take the test for a large truck driver's license. Of course, he will also hire a driver to help him drive. It will be convenient to go anywhere at that time, and there will be no need to temporarily find a place to store goods.
Luo Cheng came to Sioux City to buy winter melons, but anyone with a brain knows that even if the defective winter melons are sold for 20 cents, whoever buys them will lose. This is a matter of quality. Normal winter melons are already so cheap, and there is no room for decline. The same goes for shipping to other places. Even if there is a green pass, the freight is inevitable.
Therefore, basically no vegetable seller takes action for these winter melons. Luo Cheng is here, and to buy these winter melons, he has to set up a temporary warehouse as before. Even those who sell winter melons don't know how Luo Cheng can make money if he buys them all.
Fortunately, there are not many troubled people these days. If they have doubts in their hearts, they will not ask Luo Cheng how he can get rid of so many winter melons.
Now that Luo Cheng woke up and took a shower, he realized that the winter melon matter had been settled yesterday. What he needed was to find an opportunity to get it done in his own time.
Today, he has to buy some food here to go back to his own time. In his own time, the family must still have food, but there must be no meat. He wanted to buy a piece of fat meat and take it home to make oil residue. Except for a little bit of oil bought at the supply and marketing cooperative, all the oil at home was made from fat meat.
Originally just going out for a stroll, Luo Cheng didn't expect that there would be a market in this suburban place. There were many people at the temporary venue early in the morning, selling everything. Everything will be reasonably cheaper than the normal market.
There are vendors here, as well as people from nearby rural areas selling some of their own goods.
As soon as Luo Cheng entered, he was attracted. A bag of apples cost ten yuan, and a box cost thirty yuan. However, the quality is very average, not necessarily all good, but cheap.
In fact, it would have been better to have such a bargain in his time. The apples that Luo Cheng occasionally brought over before were often candy-centred, or red Fuji, which were rich in moisture and sweet. It was normal to sell for four or five yuan per pound, but in fact there were no such good apples in his time. In fact, they were very ordinary apples, not very sweet, and often had bugs.
Luo Cheng didn't buy it immediately. He planned to go around and buy back what he wanted to buy. Then I'll ask the apple seller where the apples came from and see if I can get a bunch of them back to my own time.
Then I saw someone selling duck and cured fish with cured meat. After thinking about these things, I thought it would be okay to give as a gift. Who would eat this when they have fresh ones? You can buy one when you turn back and continue moving forward.
There are actually stalls selling some medicinal materials. Luo Cheng doesn't understand this, but they have standardized the efficacy. At the stall, Luo Cheng watched for a long time. Of course, he was just curious. In fact, there were many medicinal materials in the mountains at that time, but he didn't know them and couldn't dig them up. However, some doctors from health centers in towns and villages often go to the mountains to get some common herbal medicines.
This actually provides Luo Cheng with an idea, whether he can also engage in medicine, and Chinese medicine can give him some relief. Now in his time, one medicine that is in short supply is aspirin.
In his day, aspirin could be regarded as a miracle drug, reducing fever, inflammation, and antipyretic and analgesic effects. Many people contracted some disease on the way to escape the famine, no matter whether it is symptomatic or not, it is always right to take one.
As for Chinese medicine, that was obtained in his era in the future era, but in his era the clinics collected medicines collected by some people. In this era, Luo Cheng did not know the situation. I just know that traditional Chinese medicine practitioners are in a difficult situation now. Without obtaining certificates recognized by Western standards, they can’t treat diseases.
But in the country of little devils and sticks, traditional Chinese medicine is already being vigorously promoted. Domestic hospitals are too dark and monopolize everything. This is why Luo Cheng doesn't want to touch medicinal materials.
After seeing some prepared medicinal materials being sold, Luo Cheng continued to stroll around. There were so many different things, but not many that were suitable to take back to his era.
For example, there were people selling rat poison and stickers here, but in his day, rats were all caught and roasted, so it was impossible to kill them with poison.
"Crispy pork belly, roast duck, very fragrant."
Originally, Luo Cheng wanted to wander around slowly, although there were many things he couldn't buy. For example, many clothes worn by the elderly may be suitable for selling at the market. The styles are too avant-garde for Luo Cheng's era, and such fabrics are not available, so there is no need to buy them. But in this era, it is considered very vulgar, and it is the style worn by uncles and aunts.
While walking around, I saw an oven with a gas stove, which had roasted pork belly and duck. The roast duck costs 13 yuan a piece, and the pork belly looks very fragrant. Crisp and crispy yellow in color, Luo Cheng asked for a piece, which cost more than ten yuan.
Just one bite of this in my hand, very fragrant, I ate a few bites while watching by the stove.
He found that there was a large basin under the oven, which was specially used to catch the oil dripping from the ducks and the barbecue. The oil smells very fragrant, but I don't know if the oil can be eaten. When Luo Cheng sees something now, he will instinctively react to whether he can take it back to eat.
So I squatted aside and used my mobile phone to check how the oil from the roast duck was processed. Then it shows that it is usually sold to unscrupulous traders, and they will not sell it as normal oil for human consumption. Because if you eat too much of this oil, your cholesterol will be particularly high. Therefore, if it is used as cooking oil, problems may arise if people consume it every day.
Therefore, many people who sell barbecue and fried food will buy them at low prices. Then make some food and sell it to everyone. In this case, as long as you don't eat barbecue and fry every day, it's okay to eat a little oil with higher cholesterol.
What is cholesterol? Luo Cheng searched again. He really didn't understand this. Then I discovered something that everyone has, which is that it’s best not to be too high. But Luo Cheng thought about it, if the duck fat was really cheap, there weren't many people in his time who had high cholesterol, so it wouldn't be considered a detriment to people.
You can fatten meat and boil it in lard at home, but other people just add a little oil when frying it. And in Luo Cheng's era, there were also roast duck restaurants, such as Quanjude or some other restaurant. He didn't believe that in his day, roast duck fat would be thrown away.
Of course, he wouldn't buy any roast duck fat here. There are many roast duck restaurants in Jiangcheng, but he suddenly noticed this now. When I return to Jiangcheng, I will find someone to ask about the condition of the oil and whether it is cheap.
He reluctantly took another bite of crispy pork belly, but Luo Cheng couldn't eat it anymore. It was fragrant, but the taste was average. After a few more bites, he got tired of it. His body is not short of oil and water now, and he will easily get tired of eating too greasy food. I can only wrap up the rest and continue walking.
He saw a lot of things he wanted to buy on the road. In fact, they were all available in various places, but Luo Cheng never had the time to check out what was good to buy and take them back. Now that I have free time, I can take a closer look at the market.
In the market here, Luo Cheng saw many people selling bamboo products, such as backpacks, dustpans, etc. But no one seemed to care. Luo Cheng thought that he would let people in the town make bamboo products, but the bamboo chairs were actually pretty good. It is a bamboo bed. People may not use it very much nowadays. If you want to cool down, you can just get a bamboo mat, which is easy to carry.
But it doesn't matter to Luo Cheng. His real purpose is to let everyone make decorations in the future. He can digest the bamboo chairs and bamboo mats he is making now. It won't be needed anymore.
After walking around in the market, there weren't many things Luo Cheng really wanted to buy. It was almost time to take action. Luo Cheng saw a sausage seller here, and there were also sausages. Although this sausage is delicious when eaten fried or steamed, there is no meat sausage that is satisfying to eat, and the meat sausage made by others can be stored for many days.
This is really a good time. Pregnant women should eat less bacon and the like. Although sausage is also a type of bacon, it is much better than bacon. It tastes greasy but not dry.
Moreover, the person selling the meat sausage said that he made it himself and used high-quality meat. Moreover, he was from the local area. He was not lying. Believe it or not. Luo Cheng couldn't verify whether the meat used was good or bad, but that would be the case in the future era. You shouldn't worry so much about food. If you worry too much, you won't be able to eat anything.
You can only pretend that you don’t know anything and think for the best about everything. Of course, the roast duck he sold at the store where Luo Cheng bought crispy pork belly before sold for thirteen yuan, was 100% frozen duck, and even if it was frozen, it might not be that good.
Luo Cheng understood this at Jiangcheng Wholesale Market, which led him to try his best to buy the more expensive ones sold by other people when buying roast duck. However, there is also the possibility that the more expensive ones they buy may be frozen ducks bought in the frozen market. At most it's the heavier one.
When buying sausages, you can only buy them based on your feelings. The so-called good meat and bad meat are normal and good meat and trimmings. None of them can kill anyone, but the boss selling sausages doesn't look like he's a liar. He can only believe it.
I bought thirty kilograms of sausages at once and left my contact information. The boss told Luo Cheng that if he thought it tasted good, he could make a reservation with him. And if you look at his WeChat Moments, you can see the production process and the meat used. If you want it next time, you can send it to other places. Luo Cheng could even buy meat for them to process.
After buying the sausages, Luo Cheng bought some vegetables sold by the aunt and uncle at the stall. To be honest, the appearance is very average. They may have grown it themselves, which is different from vegetable farmers. Their large-scale planting is indeed better than ordinary people's casual planting in terms of seeds and care.
As for meat, it’s also available in the market, but it’s more expensive. Anyway, just buy some and eat it yourself. When we get back to Jiangcheng, we can just kill the two wild boars we raised.
At the end, Luo Cheng arrived at the stall selling apples. The boss drove a small truck with a truck full of apples. Luo Cheng simply asked if the apples were grown by the boss himself. The boss was honest and said that they were obtained from other places. Only some older people who wanted to buy these apples cheaply bought them.
You can still sell some in the market, but when you go to the city, you can't sell them at all, and there's not even a place to set up a stall.
Luo Cheng thought for a while, and it seemed that there was no need to pursue the source of goods at all times. These apples are already very cheap, costing ten yuan a bag, and a bag weighs at least ten kilograms. And if Luo Cheng wants more, his boss might be able to get it cheaper.
So I asked how much it would cost to buy them all. But if you buy them all, you have to help him deliver them to the temporarily rented warehouse here.
