Chapter 18

Jiang Miao stood up holding the bun and broke it in half.

Half of it reached out to Cheng Huai's mouth, "You must be tired after walking for so long, we each have half, otherwise I won't be able to finish a bun."

Can't finish a bun?
The man looked at her lightly, took the bun from her hand, and ate it in two bites.

It seemed to be questioning Jiang Miao's statement.

Jiang Miao shyly withdrew her hand, lowered her head and silently ate the buns.

The buns made by Yu Ying are really delicious, especially the stuffing inside, which is extraordinarily refreshing and delicious. Jiang Miao is not too hungry, so he ate it in small bites and tasted it slowly.

Soon, an old woman came over with a basket, "Sister, why are you selling buns? I think you eat very well by yourself."

Jiang Miao's eyes lit up, business is coming!

She immediately enthusiastically said: "Ma'am, the buns are worth a penny, they are delicious!"

"What kind of fillings are there? Vegetarian meat?" The aunt continued to ask.

Jiang Miao lifted the cloth covering it, and smiled brightly: "It's all vegetarian stuffing. My mother made it at home. I love it all the time. How many do you want, ma'am?"

Seeing that the steamed buns in the basket were bigger than the shop selling steamed buns on the street, the aunt didn't hesitate, and said directly: "Then make me two first, and I'll have a taste."

"Okay." Jiang Miao immediately took the clean paper on the side of the basket and wrapped two buns and handed them over.

The aunt took the bun, counted two coins to Cheng Huai, looked at Jiang Miao and said, "Two coins, I'll give it to your elder brother."

Jiang Miao nodded, "Thank you, ma'am!"

Cheng Huai took the money, and seeing Jiang Miao's crooked eyebrows, he suddenly took a deep breath.

He is obviously Jiang Miao's man, not a big brother.

Jiang Miao didn't notice his expression, her mind was completely on the steamed stuffed bun, and after the first experience, she let go completely.

"Big buns! Delicious big buns! Delicious big buns!"

There were a lot of people passing by on the road, so she naturally wanted to shout, otherwise who would have known that there were steamed stuffed buns in the basket.

Cheng Huai froze on the spot, staring at Jiang Miao's small body and that small mouth that yelled loudly, completely startled.

Soon, several people came over.

"How do you sell the buns? How much is it?"

"Give me two buns!"

"The buns are quite big, pack five for me!"

"I want three, the money is for your elder brother."

Jiang Miao's eyes were crooked with a smile, and her voice was obedient and sweet.

"One penny, one, please take it, ma'am."

"Three buns are ready..."

"Uncle, come again next time, my buns are delicious!"

After going back and forth, more than half of the buns in the basket were sold out, and Cheng Huai also collected a lot of copper coins.

Pursing his lips and looking at the busy Jiang Miao, Cheng Huai suddenly realized that he couldn't help.

No one came for the time being, Jiang Miao stood up, looked up at Cheng Huai, with a bright smile on her small face.

Seeing that his hands were full of copper plates, Jiang Miao's eyes lit up, and she was a little happy.

"Cheng Huai, put the money here." She took out the small cloth bag Yu Ying gave her, and held it in front of Cheng Huai like a little money fan.

The man took the bag and packed the copper plates, and handed it to Jiang Miao again.

Jiang Miao waved her hand and shook her head, "It's better for you to keep it, you come to collect the money."

After that, she yelled again, excited and enthusiastic.

Cheng Huai got used to it.

Seeing someone approaching, he grabbed her arm and stood aside, squatting down by himself to help pack the buns.

Cheng Huai's tall body squatted down, Jiang Miao gave him a curious look, and then smiled.

This man didn't want her to work alone and wanted to help.

She yelled more and more vigorously: "Hey steamed stuffed bun, delicious big steamed stuffed bun!"

Soon, in less than an hour, all the baskets of buns were sold out.

The money bag was also full, and Jiang Miao really couldn't help grinning when holding it.

A lot of money, I am so happy to make money.

She glanced at the man standing up, raised her head and said, "Cheng Huai, take the money bag, it's too heavy for me to carry."

Cheng Huai took it with a nod, looking at her with even more surprise.

He had brought buns to the town to sell before, and they were never sold out, let alone sold out in such a short time.

This is all thanks to Jiang Miao.

"Thank you." He said two words in a shallow voice.

Jiang Miao shook her head, "Cheng Huai, we are a family."

The family does not need to say thank you.

They treated her with the most simple sincerity, and she naturally wanted to return her sincerity. Besides, she didn't do anything, so he didn't need to thank him.

The man's eyes were as dark as ink, falling on her delicate face, and then an unnatural expression flashed across her.

"Hmm." He responded lightly.

Hearing his response, Jiang Miao smiled at him and knelt down to look at the rabbit.

I don't know if anyone came to buy rabbits today.

Probably seeing that she was absent-minded, Cheng Huai bent down and lifted the rope that bound the rabbit into his hand, and picked it up.

Looking at Jiang Miao, he said calmly, "Go shopping first."

Jiang Miao quickly stood up on her legs, a little confused, "Shouldn't you sell the rabbit first?"

Cheng Huai also picked up the bamboo basket in his hands, "The buyers of mountain goods will come when the market is about to close."

According to his explanation, those who bought mountain goods must also want to take advantage of the end of the market to kill a wave of prices.

"Then let's go buy pork first!" she said.

Cheng Huai took her to the pork stall set up by the butcher. There was not much pork left, and it usually sold out quickly on market days.

The remaining pork looked fresh though, with a few large bones with shaved meat on the side.

"Uncle, how do you sell pork?"

The butcher took a knife and flipped the pork casually twice, and turned it over to show Jiang Miao, "Fifteen cents a catty, the pig was slaughtered yesterday, and the pork is fresh!"

"Is there any less? Make it cheaper, Uncle!" Jiang Miao yelled sweetly.

Seeing that she really wanted to buy it, the butcher let go and said, "Then I'll give you fourteen cents a catty. How much do you want?"

Jiang Miao frowned, and a penny was money, "It's only a catty, uncle, how do you sell that big bone?" She pointed to the big bone on the side.

The uncle glanced at it, no one asked about this big bone, and the meat is worthless after shaving.

"If you want, give me twenty coins together, and I'll give it all to you, and I'll give it to you."

Jiang Miao immediately replied: "Then I will take all of them, thank you Uncle!"

The uncle nodded, wrapped the pork well, tied up a few big bones with a straw rope, and handed them to Jiang Miao.

Jiang Miao quickly took it, glanced at Cheng Huai, and signaled him to pay.

After paying the money, Cheng Huai put the things in her hands into the basket.

"Are you going to sell this rabbit?" the uncle suddenly shouted.

Jiang Miao stopped in an instant, "Yes, uncle, do you want to buy it? My man went up the mountain yesterday and caught him, and he is still alive!"

She grabbed one of the fat rabbits, "Look, it's in good spirits!"

As soon as the back of the neck was pinched, the rabbit kicked its hind legs uneasily, which showed that it was really energetic.
