The next day was market day, and Fang Pingying and Luo Zhiyong got up early in the morning.
To sell goods in the town, they had to arrive early to secure a good stall.
Since Luo Zhiyong had difficulty walking and the other members of the Fang Family were not up yet—and even if they were, they probably wouldn't be willing to help Fang Pingying—
Fang Pingying still took Luo Honglan with her to the town to sell goods.
The two packed baskets with hawthorn jam and hawthorn cake and brought a small scale from home.
By the time they arrived in town, many regular vendors had already occupied the stalls.
At that time, to increase revenue, the government set up wooden stalls along both sides of the town's streets during the market. After 10 a.m., government officials would come to collect the stall fee of 50 cents each, regardless of whether any goods were sold.
