Ghost Market II

Do you believe in a biological clock? I do because I get up exceptionally early on Thursdays.

I don't like setting alarms so on other days, I would usually wake up at 12 noon when the sun is already shining its brightest.

On Thursdays, however, I would wake up at two in the morning without fail.

What I have most at home wasn't straw material, but tea leaves.

Before I started this business, my parents were in the tea business.

It was an accidental discovery that I could soak my materials in tea to make them appear old.

I would soak 25 dolls and a cloth in tea before getting breakfast. I leave home at 3:30 and reach the market in ten minutes' time.

Business wasn't very good today, but I'm accustomed to it.

I've only sold one and it's already 4:30.

I saw an old lady looking over at me. She had actually been looking at me since the opening of the market at four in the morning.
