Our journey at our town wet market, and eating healthy food

Good morning steemit and homesteaders friends! Its another bright sunny day, i hope you're having a good day today.

My wife imee and i go to wet market to buy milkfish for lunch, imee really knows how to pick a fresh milkfish.

Imee poses together with her friend Jackie (a meat vendor)

You can buy anthing from this wet market, they have everything here, all kinds of vegetables, fishes, pork meat, chicken, wet goods, dry goods, things you need in kitchen, tools in gardening (love this one). After i received my earnings, i want to buy pots and some tools for my garden.

Price list of some foods here;

Milkfish (bangus) - P120
Daing na bangus - P100
Pork meat - P200
Chicken - P130
Banana (ripe) - P120
Crab - P250

We also checked the price of live stocks, imee wanted to buy chicks, i want to buy piglets. We want to raise livestocks. Unfortunately, the store was still closed. Be back to check it later.

I bought this 2 medium (P25 each) and 2 small (P10 each) plastic pots. I'll transfer some cayene paper here, i have them planted in a small plastic black bag.

Then, we head to the place where imee ordered 3 sacks of fertilized soil (P100 per sack). We will pick it up later, after they ready it.

We took a ride on this 3 wheeled cycle to go there.

This is the place, look at that... so many plants.

Took selfie. Someday, i'll plant those lovely plants beside our home.

We adviced that we will pick the soil after lunch. So we head back home.

While imee preparing the milkfish, i decided to pick some sweet potato tops (talbos ng kamote) its my favorite leafy veggie, my neighbor planted this sweet potato to our front yard, he also plants some lady fingers (okra) and papaya. Our neighbors are good people, they shared their crops to us, and we are happy for that.

Afterwhich, imee already done preparing the fried milkfish and boiled sweet potato tops. I prepared soy sauce with calamondin (kalamansi) and cayene pepper (siling labuyo) for fried milkfish sauce, fish sauce with calamondin and cayene for sweet potato tops sauce. Then, its time to eat lunch guys!

Together with Diana, Dj, Imee and Joy @ligayay.
