Before they had even left the village entrance of Dali Village, nearly half of the braised vegetables in the pot were already sold.
Aside from Aunt Gui, who bought half a catty of braised pork belly, the rest of the villagers were only interested in the vegetables. After all, if they had the money to spare for meat, they would rather buy a catty of fresh, fatty raw meat to render down into lard, which would last them nearly half a month.
Once they cleared the village entrance, the foot traffic thinned out. No matter how loudly the bell rang, it couldn't attract many customers. Even those who stopped to ask about the prices were frightened off and would walk away with a dismissive wave of their hands. They hadn't even managed to sell a single piece of spiced dried tofu.
