# I heard that the vegetable markets in southern cities are so intimate! Buy Chinese cabbage, send garlic and chili peppers, and big ingredients!
In this hot summer, my life has taken a new turn. My name is Li Xue, 28 years old, from a small town in the south, the family is a typical family of three, parents are ordinary workers, I was busy with them when I was a child, busy farming and harvesting vegetables. Now, I work as a clerk in a small advertising agency, and my daily life is just going back and forth between the office and my home.
But recently, I discovered something that surprised me, and that was the wet market in our city. Every time I go to the market to buy groceries, I always feel a warm and caring atmosphere. No, a few days ago, when I was about to go to the market to buy some vegetables, I happened to hear from a friend that the market here is very good, so I decided to check it out.
When I opened the door of the market, I was greeted by the smell of various vegetables and the fragrance of fresh vegetables, and at that moment, I felt as if I had stepped into a world of food. The market is bustling with activity, with vendors shouting and customers competing to pick up fresh ingredients.
I first walked to a stall selling vegetables, and the owner was a middle-aged woman with a kind smile on her face. While she was weighing the food for me, she chatted with me: "Little girl, are you here for the first time?" The food here is fresh, and I just got it back from the ground today. ”
I nodded, feeling in my heart that this boss was very welcoming. She introduced her stall and recommended me to buy some seasonal vegetables, such as Chinese cabbage, tomatoes, etc., which made me feel that this place is full of human touch. I thought: this kind of market is so good, it makes me want to buy more.
"Then I'll have a cabbage." I said.
"Okay, I just bought Chinese cabbage today and gave garlic and chili peppers!" She responded with a smile.
I was a little surprised, "Really? Buying Chinese cabbage and giving it a giveaway? "I felt a warm current in my heart, who would have thought that there would be such intimate service when shopping for groceries?
"That's right, our vegetable market here is so real, I'll give you these seasonings when you buy big vegetables, and it's convenient to go back to cook." The boss continued, and quickly packed a plump Chinese cabbage with fresh garlic and red peppers.
"I'll have some more ingredients, I'm going to stew meat tonight." I said without hesitation.
Seeing that I had such a need, the boss immediately recommended several ingredients to me, "Little girl, don't forget to add some star anise and cinnamon when buying meat, the meat is particularly fragrant when stewed!" ”
I thought to myself, this boss is really knowledgeable, and quickly nodded in agreement. To be honest, I used to think that the wet market was just a place to buy vegetables, and there would be no special experience. However, this time, I was really touched by her enthusiasm and the unexpected "giveaway".
At the checkout, the boss calculated the price for me, "It's ten yuan in total, plus these gifts you bought, it's definitely a good deal!" ”
I happily paid the money, secretly happy in my heart, "I'm going to come here more often in the future." ”
When I left the market, I was in a very happy mood. The intimate service and warm communication that I have never experienced before made me feel a long-lost human touch. In the fast-paced city life, this simple joy is rarely felt. On the way home, I imagined the food I would make in the evening and felt the changes in the city.
When I got home, I put the ingredients I bought on the table, and I was full of anticipation. At this time, my mother walked in, saw the cabbage and spices on the table, and her eyes lit up: "This is really good, we can try your craft tonight!" ”
While I was washing the vegetables, I told her the interesting things I encountered at the market today and those thoughtful little giveaways, and my mother laughed when I heard it. "This shows that the stall owners want customers to buy happily, and it's good that the market has such an atmosphere!"
That night, I followed the method taught by my mother, and carefully stewed a pot of fragrant meat, accompanied by fresh Chinese cabbage, which was simple but very delicious. When I sat down at the table with steaming hot dishes and saw my parents' satisfied smiles, I felt really fulfilled.
In this hectic era, life is always full of pressure, but in fact, as long as you feel it with your heart, there are still many warm moments in life waiting for us to discover. The intimacy and enthusiasm of the vegetable market seemed to let me see another side of life. In the future, I will cherish the bits and pieces around me even more and make every meal meaningful.
Accustomed to picking vegetables at the market every day, I have become a loyal customer there, and when I meet people, I say, "You must go and see it, it's really good!" "Every time I buy fresh vegetables, I feel a small happiness in my heart, and I understand that life can be so simple and so beautiful.
So, dear friends, if you also want to experience this kind of intimate vegetable market, you might as well go out and have a look. Maybe a simple grocery shopping will also make you unexpectedly happy!
