Chapter 16 The Price of Three Rice Balls

16
Seeing that Su's mother and son could hardly walk, Bai Muyang pointed to a few big trees not far away and said, "Let's rest over there."

It's already past noon, and everyone is hungry.

After a break, Wennuan took out a few oil-paper bags from the space, which contained mushrooms and meat floss rice balls and several kinds of pastries.

"Nuan Nuan, when did you prepare so much food?" Su Shi was surprised.

"I bought it in the city." Just came out of Qushui City, Nuan Nuan had a ready-made excuse.

Mrs. Su distributed the rice balls to everyone one by one: "It smells delicious, and it's still hot."

"It's hot, cover it." Wen Nuan said again.

Su Shi didn't doubt it: "It's indeed hot today."

After delivering lunch, Su picked up a rice ball and took a bite: "Why is this rice ball so delicious? I don't know how it's made?"

Su Shi took the rice ball and began to study it.

She has no other hobbies, but she likes to cook, but there is almost nothing she can't cook.

The little guy Wulang likes sweets, with a pastry wrapped in his mouth, he hummed, "Aunt Su, the pastry is delicious too."

The Ma family over there finally came here and found a big tree that shaded the sun and stopped to rest.

"I don't want pancakes, I want to eat the one in their hands..." The youngest child of the Ma family pointed at the cakes and rice balls in the hands of Wulang and Qi'er and began to cry: "Daddy bought it for me, I want to eat..."

"Their food is not delicious at first glance." The old woman Ma was contemptuous, while coaxing her little grandson: "Our pancakes are clean and delicious, we don't want that dirty food that poor people eat."

The old woman Ma's voice was not low, Wen Nuan and others heard it.

Su's face turned green with anger: "Is this old lady blind or is she blind? She actually said that poor people can afford this rice, meat and shiitake mushrooms? And this pastry, compared to the imperial city' Yipin Cake’s cakes are not too bad, but she actually dislikes them?”

The relatives of Su's mother and son are in the imperial city. They should have been to the imperial city before. When Su said this, Wen Nuan didn't think too much about it: "Sister-in-law Su, her eyes are dirty, so she sees everything dirty, which is pitiful." Yes, let's just ignore her."

When the old lady Ma heard Nuan Nuan pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, she immediately came over to fight: "Damn girl, whose eyeballs are you calling dirty?"

"Wow~~" The Ma family boy heard that the pastry was even more delicious than the pastry in the imperial city, and he lay on the ground and rolled over: "No... I want to eat their food... I want to eat it ..."

The old lady Ma stopped in her tracks, glared fiercely at the Su family and the others, and continued to coax her precious grandson: "Little ancestor, they lied to you, their food is stinky. Can you buy cakes that taste better than the imperial city?"

Su Shi gritted her teeth angrily.

The old woman actually said that their food was stinky!
"No, no, no... I want to eat now..." The Ma family kid continued to quarrel.

"Milk is deceiving, I can already smell the aroma, I want to eat it too... I want to eat it too..." The second boy of the Ma family also started crying.

The eldest son of the Ma family didn't cry, but he also yelled: "I want to... I want to..."

Fatty Ma's head got big because of his three sons, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, don't cry, dad will buy it for you now!"

As soon as Fatty Ma spoke, the crying stopped in seconds.

The old lady Ma wanted to stop her, but seeing the grievance and distress on the faces of the three grandsons, she had to hold back.

Fatty Ma walked up to Wen Nuan and the others with a flattering expression, "Guys, we are destined to meet each other, and we have met again."

Su Shi snorted coldly: "Our food is dirty and smelly!"

Fatty Ma smiled and said: "My mother said that to coax the child, please don't take it to heart, little sister-in-law."

Su Shi turned away coldly and ignored him.

With a warm and kind smile, he asked knowingly, "What is the matter with Master Ma?"

Fatty Ma, who was a little embarrassed by the Su family, was encouraged, and rubbed his hands helplessly: "Girl, you also saw that the three boys in my family are greedy for your food, so I wonder if you can sell me a little? Or exchange it with our food."

The last time these people refused to sell food to him, maybe it was because there was not much food left. Now that they have just come out of Qushui City, they must have enough food. At worst, he will give him a few cents more.

"Nuan Nuan." Su Shi frowned and tugged on Nuan Nuan's sleeves.

Nuan Nuan patted her hand, and just as she was about to say something, Wu Lang said with a stern face: "Your family bullies a woman, it's too bad, we won't sell food to you!"

Su gave Goro an appreciative look.

The kid was awesome and said everything she wanted to say.

Goro scratched shyly.

In fact, brother Qi'er taught him to say these words.

The flesh on Fatty Ma's face trembled, and seeing that Wen Nuan and Su's didn't respond, he spoke again after a long while: "Girl, look at my three boys, they are really greedy for your family's food, can you give us some of it? How much, you say."

"It's not that our family's food can't be sold to Master Ma..."

As Wen Nuan spoke, he looked at Fatty Ma, and Fatty Ma accepted the words very politely: "How much is a piece, I'll give you the money right now."

Fatty Ma said as he took out his money bag.

Wen Nuan but backtracked: "Forget it, I'm afraid Master Ma thinks my food is expensive."

"No, no, girl, how much do you say?" Fatty Ma reluctantly counted out thirty copper coins from the money bag: "How much can you buy with thirty Wen?"

Wen Nuan just glanced at it and then turned his gaze back: "30 Wen can usually buy a few catties of brown rice, but the current price...Master Ma, I think you should not buy it."

"Buy, I want to buy!" Fatty Ma blushed a little at Wen Nuan's words, knowing that the little girl was not easy to fool, he gritted his teeth, put the 30 copper coins back into the purse, and took out half a tael of silver again: "Half a tael of silver, I bought them all!"

By the way, let my wife try it too!

Nuan Nuan accepted half a tael of silver with a reluctant look: "Sister-in-law Su, give him three rice balls."

Su Shi: "!!!"

Half a tael of silver is a full 500 Wen!

Fatty Ma raised his voice abruptly: "Only three rice balls for half a tael?"

"Master Ma, this is not an ordinary rice ball!" Nuan put half a tael of silver into his pocket: "This rice ball is cooked with mountain spring water, and the meat is also cooked with mountain spring water, and then beat with a stick until soft and put it back into the pot Stir-fry until fragrant, then pour it out and continue to beat it with a stick until it becomes silky, then put it back into the pot and stir-fry, repeat several times, make the meat into meat floss, then add rice and lard, as well as mushrooms and seasonings and mix well to make into rice balls..."

Fatty Ma swallowed his saliva.

This egg-sized rice ball has to go through so many processes to make it?

coax who?
"Look, Master Ma thinks it smells delicious, I'm already drooling." Wen Nuan smiled and took the oiled paper bag containing three rice balls from Mrs. Su's hand and put it in Fatty Ma's hand: "The oiled paper bag is a gift. No need to return it, take it back and give it to the child to taste, so as not to get hungry."
