Golden Fishing Village

Ao Muyang had a lot of things to buy. He had prepared vegetables and meat in advance. He had to buy some side dishes, such as vermicelli.

There is a local custom that "hecai" is made during the New Year, which is to mix spinach, white radish or cabbage, meat slices and vermicelli together, similar to a stew. This meal is eaten on the morning of the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, hoping that the coming new year will be harmonious and beautiful.

There were too many people at the New Year's market, bustling and rubbing shoulders, and the wide road was squeezed so that it was impossible to move. There were various stalls on both sides of the road.

Ao Muyang bought a bag of fried ham, which was his favorite food when he was a teenager. It was to fry the lean meat ham in an oil pan. The price was not expensive, and now it was only 15 yuan per catty.

The reason why it was so cheap was that these lean meat hams were expired and spoiled, and they could not be sold through normal sales channels. So the unscrupulous merchants came up with an idea to fry them in boiling oil before selling them.

They claimed that the ham went bad because of the bacteria, and the high temperature of the boiling oil killed the bacteria. In addition, after frying, the ham's sour smell became lighter and the meaty flavor became stronger.

In short, this is junk food.

But this thing really tastes good. Children like it, the elderly like it, and people with little money like it. Buy one and you can eat it as a snack.

As for its hygiene issues? Who cares if you choose to buy it?

Ao Muyang bought one, and when he put a piece of ham in his mouth, he clearly felt the sour smell.

But the following meaty and oily aromas will cover up this sour smell, forming a somewhat unique and charming smell.

He ate this smell, which is the smell of childhood and youth.

There are too many vendors and not enough space, so some people set up stalls in the middle of the road.

There are some red, purple or pink hanging money on a cart floating in the wind. Ao Muyang saw it and said, "Buy me two sets."

Hanging money, like Spring Festival couplets, is a decoration during the New Year.

The materials of the two are similar. At first, the hanging money was also cut out of red paper with some patterns. Now the materials have been developed, and colored paper has been cut and then pasted on the glass and horizontal edges of doors and windows for decoration.

Because the shape is long, when the north wind blows, the hanging money will flutter in the wind like a flag, which can better embellish the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival.

However, now people's homes are luxuriously decorated and do not need this for decoration, so they are afraid to stick the hanging money inside the window. There is no wind and rain, and the hanging money can be kept until the end of the New Year.

Another advantage of visiting the New Year's market is that you can meet some old classmates and old acquaintances.

Usually young people work in the city, and they go home at the end of the year. Except for a few units, most people go home on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. Everyone comes to the New Year's market, so it is easy to meet.

Ao Muyang squeezed in the crowd and kept hearing greetings:

"Hey, Brother Chao, when did you come back? Is this your wife? Hey, a fresh flower stuck in cow dung..."

"Old Song, Old Song, haha, I thought I recognized the wrong person just now. Why are you so fat? I heard that you work in a feed factory and eat feed every day?"

"Old classmate, long time no see, how are you doing recently? What, you haven't got married yet? Oh, you will get married after the New Year. In this case, I have something that I am embarrassed to say. I wanted to borrow money from you..."

Listening to these chats, Ao Muyang was secretly happy.

As a result, he saw the young nurse Hu Xiuxiu later.

Hu Xiuxiu and her best friend Xiaoyu who worked in a KFC Western fast food restaurant were together. The two beautiful girls full of youth were a beautiful sight wherever they went, and there were many young people who stole glances at them.

Ao Muyang didn't look at them, but the two of them discovered her first.

Hu Xiuxiu patted his shoulder from behind and said with a smile: "Junior, what are you buying?"

Ao Muyang smiled awkwardly when he saw Hu Xiuxiu: "Hehe, I just strolled around and bought some fried ham. Do you want to eat it?"

Xiaoyu obviously knew what happened between the two of them. She said angrily: "No, you can eat it yourself. Buy more and take it home to enjoy it. It's not easy to eat these fried goods in the village."

Hu Xiuxiu kicked her shoes with her toes and said angrily: "Hey, Xiaoyu, why do you speak so sourly?"

Xiaoyu glared at Ao Muyang.

Ao Muyang felt wronged. If the deal didn't work out, the friendship would still be there. No, if the blind date didn't work out, the friendship would still be there. We can be friends.

The other party didn't give him this opportunity. Hu Xiuxiu said hello to him and left. The girl was generous and left very freely.

Xiaoyu was also a good person. Before leaving, he earnestly warned her: "Eat less fried ham. It's not junk food, it's just a bunch of garbage. You'll definitely get an upset stomach."

Ao Muyang smiled and said, "Thank you."

Xiaoyu glared at him again before leaving.

This was an episode. Ao Muyang bought a bunch of things later. Soon, his backpack and handbag were full. The various things added up to about 30 to 40 kilograms.

A group of people came together by boat. He came back first and sat on the bow playing with his phone, chatting with his high school classmates.

Someone came to the dock and waved with a smile after seeing him: "Aoaoao——Ao Muyang! Haha, Yangzi, long time no see!"

Ao Muyang looked up and saw a junior high school classmate.

This classmate's surname was Mao. Because he was skinny in junior high school, he was called Xiaomao.

Xiaomao has grown much taller now, and his appearance has changed a lot. Ao Muyang almost didn't recognize him.

The two shook hands, and Xiaomao gave him a business card very formally. He now worked as a sales manager in a real estate company. He was doing very well and spoke with an eloquent voice.

Ao Muyang didn't like such people, but after all, they were old classmates. They hadn't seen each other for many years, so they were still very happy to meet each other at this time.

He didn't keep in touch with his junior high school classmates much, but Xiaomao kept in touch with his old classmates.

From him, Ao Muyang learned about the recent situation of some classmates. The class monitor now sells pork in Hongyang, the sports committee member is sponsored by his father and bought a store in Hongyang and is doing well, so-and-so got married, so-and-so got divorced, so-and-so became an official, and so on.

Finally, he said, "Do you remember Yao Hongyan? She was our class flower at that time."

Ao Muyang nodded and said, "I have some impression."

Xiaomao sighed, "Yao Hongyan was one of the four beauties in our junior high school. She became someone's mistress two years ago. It's a pity, alas..."

Ao Muyang also nodded and sighed, but Xiaomao continued, "You said I'm not doing badly, why didn't she become my mistress?"

What do you want me to say? Ao Muyang was silent.

After a few jokes, the two shook hands and said goodbye. Xiaomao joked with him before leaving: "Look for me when you go to Hongyang to buy a villa. I have connections in this circle."

Ao Muyang thought for a while and said: "I may not buy it in the near future. I will find you when I go to buy it."

Xiaomao laughed: "No problem."

Ao Fugui came back pushing a cart. There were many things in the cart, not only bags of flour, but also a lot of vegetables, wine and meat. Ao Fugui bought a lot of things.
