Chapter 34 The Spicy Buns Are Sold

Cheng Huai gave Uncle Li a couple of pennies as usual, put the basket on the cart, and then turned around to carry Jiang Miao up.

Jiang Miao could tell what he wanted to do at a glance, and hurriedly pulled his trouser legs and climbed onto the bullock cart by himself.

Cheng Huai stood on the side without stretching out his hand, but stared at her, helping her when it was time to help.

After climbing into the car and sitting down, Jiang Miao moved the two baskets to her side, trying not to take up too much space.

Seeing the courgettes in her basket, Aunt Zhang couldn't help but said, "Jiang Miao, go to town with your man to sell courgettes?"

Only then did Jiang Miao realize that Mrs. Zhang was there, sitting on the bullock cart with her back to her.

She turned her head and asked, "Yes, what is Mrs. Zhang going to the town to sell?"

Aunt Zhang moved the basket a little, pouted and said, "It's also selling a la carte. Your courgette is so small, does anyone buy it?"

"Just try your luck, just in case someone wants to buy it." Jiang Miao didn't worry.

Aunt Zhang suddenly stopped talking, hugged her basket in her arms, and glanced at the vegetables in other people's baskets, they were basically cucumbers and cowpeas.

The people in the village grow all these, and if they can't finish eating, they will naturally sell them in the town.

The bullock cart was full of people, and Uncle Li yelled, and the bullock cart started to move.

It was the familiar bumpy feeling again, Jiang Miao subconsciously grabbed the rough man who was walking beside him to stabilize his figure.

Cheng Huai walked forward without distraction, but his steps were not fast.

Jiang Miao looked at his deliberate slowing down and thought, if he hadn't helped her, this man might have walked away.

When he arrived in town, Jiang Miao's buttocks were already numb.

Seeing that she didn't move, Cheng Huai hesitated for a moment, and reached out to hug her down.

This time, Jiang Miao had no complaints at all, her legs were really stiff.

The people on the bullock cart got off one after another to occupy their seats, and Jiang Miao also hurriedly looked ahead, spotted an empty seat, and ran over quickly.

When she came to the town last time, she almost saw clearly that this location has a lot of people coming and going, so it is a good place.

But before she got there, a person suddenly rushed over from behind and bumped into her shoulder, just in time to occupy the spot she was looking for.

Jiang Miao almost fell to the ground, but was supported by Cheng Huai, but a few courgettes in the basket accidentally fell out, and two were broken.

Seeing the broken courgette, Jiang Miao became a little angry, and looked at the woman in front.

Meeting Jiang Miao's angry gaze, Aunt Zhang put the basket away with a smile, "Jiang Miao, I took this place first, you can't let your Cheng Huai take it back."

Aunt Zhang was still a little apprehensive when she spoke. After all, Cheng Huai was still around, and he could kill someone with one fist.

Jiang Miao looked up at Cheng Huai, then walked towards Aunt Zhang, and looked down at the vegetables in her basket, which turned out to be courgettes.

She stood up straight and her eyes were clear: "My Cheng Huai didn't even move what Aunt Zhang said, why would she steal someone's place like a street rogue?"

"This place is everywhere, but there are only a few rogues." She bent down and took two courgettes from Aunt Zhang's basket, and said in a flat voice.

Knowing that she was talking about her, Mrs. Zhang looked a little ugly, "Jiang Miao, what are you doing with my courgette?"

Jiang Miao turned her head and pointed to the ground, "You hit me just now and knocked my courgette to the ground."

"You dropped it yourself, how can you take my courgette?" Aunt Zhang was a little unwilling, and snatched the courgette back.

Jiang Miao was not annoyed either, "Then let Cheng Huai hit me, do you think so?"

Hearing Jiang Miao calling him, Cheng Huai walked over immediately.

The man had broad shoulders and a broad waist, tall and mighty, as soon as he walked over, part of the light on his head was blocked.

Aunt Zhang's expression froze, and she immediately stuffed the courgette back into Jiang Miao's mouth, muttering unhappily: "Didn't you just smash two courgettes, and it's not a valuable thing."

"Since it's worthless, why should Mrs. Zhang be stingy." Jiang Miao put the courgettes in the basket at her home.

Aunt Zhang stopped talking immediately.

Jiang Miao and Cheng Huai found another place, put down the baskets, and waited for more people to gather before shouting.

Cheng Huai bent down and took out a bun, broke it in half, and handed one half to Jiang Miao.

Looking up at the man's faint expression, Jiang Miao shook her head: "Cheng Huai, I'm not hungry, you should eat all of it."

In the past few days, she has been full at Cheng's house, so she is not as eager for food as before.

Seeing that she was really not hungry, Cheng Huai ate the buns in two bites, and then stretched out his hand to hold her arm.

Jiang Miao paused her arms and turned to look at him, seemingly puzzled.

The man's fingers slowly pinched her arms and shoulders, rubbing them gently, and there was a tingling feeling in her arms.

Aunt Zhang bumped her just now, and her arm was really uncomfortable, but Cheng Huai could tell.

"Thank you." She was grateful in her heart.

Cheng Huai rubbed her silently, and when there were more people, Jiang Miao stopped letting him rub, and started yelling loudly.

"Selling buns, delicious buns, salty and spicy!"

"And spicy buns?" A middle-aged man came over and asked curiously.

Jiang Miao replied with a smile: "Yes, brother, do you want to buy one and try it?"

"What stuffing? How much is it? Will it taste bad?"

Jiang Miao replied calmly: "There are cabbage and wild vegetable stuffing, pickled vegetable stuffing, and pepper pickled vegetable stuffing. Brother, you can try it and pay for it. Keep it delicious."

"Then give me a chili first, I've never tasted it before." The man said immediately.

Jiang Miao wrapped him a chili-flavored one, so he wasn't afraid of people running away, after all, Cheng Huai was here.

The middle-aged man broke open the bun on the spot, glanced at the chili inside, and frowned: "It's all chili?"

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and took a bite, then quickly swallowed it, and he finished a spicy bun in one go.

Jiang Miao smiled instantly, "Is it delicious, brother?"

The man's expression brightened, and he looked at a big round bun in the basket, "It tastes good, how much is one? Help me pack three more."

"One penny, not expensive." Jiang Miao knelt down and filled three spicy buns for him.

The middle-aged man quickly took four copper coins to Cheng Huai, "It's really not expensive. The two pennies at the shop that sells steamed buns in front are not as big as yours. I will come to buy from you as usual next time."

For business, repeat customers are the most important thing. Jiang Miao smiled and said, "Okay, just come and find us on this street when the time comes."

The middle-aged man nodded and left with the buns. Jiang Miao turned to look at Cheng Huai happily, "Cheng Huai, our spicy buns are sold!"

The woman smiled sweetly, and her fair and delicate face was full of joy, Cheng Huai couldn't help but reached out and touched the top of her head.

Jiang Miao stood up immediately, feeling unhappy, "Cheng Huai, you won't grow taller if you touch your head."

Cheng Huai could only purse his lips and retract his hands, stared at her head for a while and then looked away.
