FULL NOVELXO Chapter 39
Chapter 39
Madam Song finally couldn’t hold back her tears, but she finished the buns with tears. After finishing them, she said, “Okay.”
After getting her mother’s approval and her father’s tacit approval, Xiaoxiao tidied up the house. She first tidied up the grains that she had long disliked and tidied them from where the food was. She then placed them in the most conspicuous place in the kitchen. Then, early in the morning, she used three times the amount of rice to cook a large pot of thick porridge.
Madam Song didn’t say anything. After Xiaoxiao finished probing, she cooked all the bird eggs she had obtained yesterday. There were five of them, and no one in the family was left behind.
Everyone had their tasks today. Madam Song had to help marinate a few more jars of sour bamboo shoots at home. Xiaoxiao, Eldest Brother, and Second Brother continued setting up market stalls. Ning Fengnian was not allowed to do heavy work, so he continued to weave bamboo baskets. Xiaoxiao watched her parents finish breakfast before she went next door with her brothers to borrow a handcart.
They had to bring more jars today. It was not easy to walk without a cart. They did not want to squeeze into Uncle Zhang’s ox cart with the others in the village. Not only were they unwilling to spend money, but too many people were in the cart. It would be troublesome to let the Old Madam and Second Aunt Ning know they were selling sour bamboo shoots.
Unexpectedly, she realized they were already prepared to go out just as she knocked on the door. “We’ll go too.”
They had left a secret signal in the county yesterday. They had to go and see if there was a response today. However, they thought that if their neighbors knew they were going together, they would probably have to prepare breakfast for them again.
The guard, Yun Yi, was overjoyed, but the young master did not want to trouble the girl. Huh, he did not have a good appetite recently, but the food made by the girl was to his liking.
There was no prey to deliver today. Ning Erlang firmly took over, pushing the cart from Yun Yi, so Xiaoxiao lay down with peace of mind. She even specially brought a blanket today, so she could sleep comfortably and not fear a cold. She arrived at the city gate in one sleep.
She patted her face to wake herself up. After saying goodbye to Rong Yan and Yun Yi, they walked towards the noodle stall from yesterday.
The stall owner was good and promised to reserve a seat for them yesterday, so Xiaoxiao brought him a big bun. The stall owner returned the favor and promised to give them lunch for free. Ning Erlang immediately sent sensibly a small jar of sour bamboo shoots, and both parties were very satisfied.
A few familiar faces who had been here yesterday came again after the stall was set up. When they saw them, they asked, “Buy two and get one free still available today?” They only paid when they heard that they could.
The guests gradually bought half a jar of sour bamboo shoots and earned over 30 copper coins. Finally, Ning Erlang’s eyes lit up, and he quickly greeted her. “Aunt Wang, here!”
The old woman, Aunt Wang, walked over quickly and around the stall without saying anything. “I want these. Give me the jar too.”
Ning Erlang was so surprised that he could not close his mouth. However, he still could not understand her.contemporary romance
“She bought so much without blinking. As expected of a rich family.”
They could eat for over a month with just those two small jars.
Adding water to the noodles pot, the stall owner replied, “She’s from the county magistrate’s family. Her young master has been anorexic since he was young. Whenever she sees any novel and unique food outside, and the young master is willing to eat it, she can’t wait to buy them all.”
That was true. They didn’t have anything expensive. Even if they brought bamboo shoots, it was only 399 copper coins in total. Xiaoxiao set this price. The 400 copper coins didn’t sound good, so she took the initiative to reduce it by one copper coin. Anyway, this bit of money was nothing to a rich family. She heard that rich people would take silver directly when they bought things.
Xiaoxiao accepted the copper coins with a sigh secretly. If it weren’t for the fact that bamboo shoots were almost equivalent to pig food to the people in this time and space, they wouldn’t have sold them so cheaply. Just as she thought this, she heard Ning Erlang sigh. “I didn’t expect the bamboo shoots just by casually digging to be so valuable.”
Xiaoxiao was speechless. She thought, “Your valuables and mine seem to be different.”
