Shopping in The Morning Market
It feels normal to go to the market again. The Jembrana market, where I go to every day at in the morning for quick shopping has turned back to its normal condition. During the pandemic, you could hardly find any buyers or sellers. The market looks more lively today.
Once arrived in the market, we went to the cake seller first, whose name was Ms. Komang. We put our buns to sell there. (We make buns to sell in almost everyday.)
Next, we went to the to the chicken floss seller. We bought about 0.6 USD for a small plastic bag. Our kids like chicken floss for breakfast. That's why we went there first.
We got chicken floss. Checked. Next, we went to buy vegetables. "What vegetables should we cook today?" is a difficult question that popped everyday that we have to tackle.
We bought some corns. Seven corns for 0.4 USD. (Corn soup is a good idea to cook). We also got some water spinach which costed us about 0.35 for four bunches of it.
We passed the vegetables seller to go to the Tempeh and Tofu seller. For tempeh we paid 0.8 USD for only one piece. The tofu was sold for 0.4 USD per plastic consisting of 3 little pieces or cut.
Next, we went to the spices seller. We only what we need for that day, that is tomatoes and chilies. We got those for about 0.3 USD.
For the last stop, we got to the flower sellers. There were several flower sellers around. People buy the flowers to make offerings they use to pray to their ancestor or God. For a plastic of mixed flowers we paid about 0.5 USD.
And, that's it. We did our shopping. We still looked around for two more minutes, just window shopping. We usually bought some prawn cakes or some sweet for drinking tea or coffee in the morning, but not always.
That's our #marketfriday adventure post, thanks to @dswigle for this great post idea.

I traveled back in time with your publication @putu300 . I remembered clearly when I used to go to the market, very early in the morning, and almost every weekend, accompanied by my long deceased father. The experience of arriving early taught me to enjoy the market before it became crowded with shoppers. The conversation with the vendors, the different smells of the freshly arrived merchandise, the fresh fish, meat and fruits. They were very gratifying sensations that spiced up the moment and made me understand that everything went beyond a simple purchase or sale of good and fresh merchandise. Over time, going to the market became a way of life.
Viaje al pasado con tu publicación @putu300. Recordé claramente cuando iba al mercado, muy temprano en la mañana, y casi todos los fines de semana, acompañado de mi padre ya fallecido tiempo hace. La experiencia de llegar temprano me enseñó a disfrutar del mercado antes que se abarrotara de compradores. La conversa con los vendedores, los diferentes olores de la mercancía recién llegada, el pescado, la carne y las frutas fresca. Eran sensaciones muy gratificantes que aderezaban el momento y me hicieron entender que todo aquello iba más allá de una simple compra o venta de una buena y fresca mercancía. Con el tiempo, hacer el mercado, se convirtió en una cultura de vida.
Hello @bravofenix, it is such a great feeling to know my post has brought to you your great memories going to the market with your father. I could not describe how grateful I am for you to share your precious memories with your father. Once again, deep from my heard, thank you very much. May God bless you and your family.
Thank to you very much @putu300.
I used to go with my parents in the market to buy stuff. This reminds me of our bonding then. My aunts are vendors in the market so after buying everything we need, we stop by in their stalls and have a cup of coffee.
It's good to buy early in the morning so that the veggies are still fresh and you can pick the goods properly.
Hi @cthings, thank you for sharing your market wonderful experience with your family.
