Chapter 44

He was going to town the next day, so Cheng Huai called Jiang Miao up early.

The little daughter-in-law was still pulling him to sleep, but fortunately she didn't move around much at night, as long as he was hugged by her, she would be very peaceful.

Seeing that she was awake, Cheng Huai went out to wash and pack his things.

Jiang Miao dug out the new clothes that Yu Ying made for her, which she hadn't worn for the past two days, but she could just wear them to go to town today.

The door was still closed, and Yu Ying was making breakfast in the back.

After changing her clothes, Jiang Miao went to the back yard. Cheng Huai had already washed up and was eating steamed buns.

There was a bright color at the door, and Cheng Huai subconsciously looked up, his eyes froze.

Yu Ying came out with the porridge, and couldn't help boasting: "Oh, my Miao girl looks really good-looking today!"

Jiang Miao was a little shy, "Mother, you praised me last time."

"Why, you can't praise today after you praised it last time? It seems that you don't want me to praise you, but you want others to praise you." Yu Ying pointedly pointed her eyes at Cheng Huai who was eating steamed buns.

Jiang Miao didn't mean that in her heart, but Yu Ying made such a joke, and she couldn't help but look at Cheng Huai.

Cheng Huai immediately looked away, and lowered his head to bite the bun expressionlessly, but the speed of chewing was obviously different.

Jiang Miao couldn't help but secretly smiled, the rough guy was really a boring gourd.

Yu Ying glanced at her son in disgust, and soon stopped looking at him, but let Jiang Miao go over to have porridge.

After breakfast, Yu Ying put all the steamed stuffed buns into one basket, vegetables such as courgette and cowpea in another basket, and the red dates that had been dried in the sun for the past two days.

He told Jiang Miao what he was going to buy today, and urged the two of them to go out.

Naturally, Cheng Huai carried all the things, so Jiang Miao took two straw hats and followed him with his money bag.

Today I want to buy meat and chicks. I have run out of flour for making buns at home, so I have to buy some.

Jiang Miao also wanted to see if there was any fish for sale. After eating tofu yesterday, she was a little greedy for stewed fish with tofu.

Can't think about it, just thinking about it makes my mouth water a little.

When we arrived at the entrance of the village, most of the people who had already sat in the ox cart were chatting enthusiastically.

Cheng Huai gave the money and put the things in the vacant space on the cart. Seeing that Jiang Miao didn't climb on the cart by himself today, he was a little puzzled.

I saw her tugging at the hem of her clothes again, presumably it was because she was afraid of getting the new clothes dirty, so she didn't climb the car by herself like before.

The crowd was almost full, and Uncle Li was yelling to leave, so Cheng Huai bent down to pick up Jiang Miao, and put Jiang Miao on the cart after a while.

Holding the rough man's arm to sit firmly, Jiang Miao looked at him and thanked him.

She is wearing a blue dress today, her cheeks are fair and delicate, and her long eyelashes are also very beautiful.

Cheng Huai walked slowly beside her, glancing at her from time to time.

Jiang Miao didn't notice this, and all her ears went to the voices of the women chatting behind her.

Headed by Aunt Zhang, they first scolded the chicken thief, and then began to discuss Wang Dagui's marriage. When they got off the bullock cart in town, Aunt Zhang cursed the chicken thief again.

Jiang Miao finally understood why Yu Ying asked her to go around Aunt Zhang's house. After hearing this all the way, Aunt Zhang's swearing words were not repetitive, and she learned a lot.

Aiming at the same position as last time, this time Jiang Miao ran faster than Aunt Zhang, and Cheng Huai also walked over quickly, looking at Aunt Zhang who was walking over with a cold look.

With such a strong man standing here with a fierce look on his face, Aunt Zhang naturally didn't dare to bump into Jiang Miao like last time.

She curled her lips and went looking for other places with the dishes.

After setting up the buns and vegetable baskets, Jiang Miao yelled as usual when there were too many people, and soon many people rushed over.

"Big girl, I'm waiting for you!"

"Do you still have the spicy steamed stuffed buns from last time today? Pack five for me. My mother-in-law loves them!"

"Three spicy ones, and three others."

Jiang Miao looked up and saw that these were regular customers, and immediately answered with a smile: "Yes, there is another kind of stuffed cabbage vermicelli today, uncles, do you want to buy one and try it?"

"The one with pickled vegetables can be replaced with cabbage vermicelli for me. I'll try it first."

"Okay, I'll put it on for you right away." Jiang Miao put it on for them one by one.

After giving the money to Cheng Huai, one of them became curious: "Which one is cabbage vermicelli?"

Jiang Miao looked up, pointed at one of them, "It should be this."

The man immediately broke the steamed stuffed bun into two halves. Seeing that the cabbage vermicelli inside was full, he took a bite with satisfaction and anticipation.

The entrance is the fragrance of cabbage, wrapped in the special taste brought by the vermicelli, the taste is fresh and sweet, and the aftertaste is long.

Jiang Miao was also looking forward to the other party's reaction after tasting, "Uncle, how does it taste?"

"Delicious, sweet and delicious." The other party finished the rest in a few mouthfuls, and took out two more coins, "Help me pack two more."

Seeing that the other party liked it, Jiang Miao instantly smiled and frowned, "Okay!"

It seems that next time this stuffing can be made more.

Steamed stuffed buns were selling fast as usual, but on the other hand, cucumbers and cowpeas, only a few people asked, and they bought them for a catty or two.

After selling the steamed stuffed buns, Jiang Miao was not too persistent, and went to the nearby restaurant and inn with Cheng Huai carrying the basket.

Seeing Jiang Miao and the strong man behind her, Xiao Er greeted her with a rag, smiling, "Miss Jiang is here!"

The business on the first floor looked good, and there were almost cold dishes on the table, which Jiang Miao taught them last time.

"Well, I'll deliver some food." Jiang Miao pointed to the things in the basket, "Brother, can you see what you can take?"

Xiao Er stepped forward to take a look, and nodded quickly: "Girl Jiang, come with me to the back kitchen. Our shopkeeper Xiao has specially explained that from now on, as long as it is your food, we can accept it."

The stone hanging from the bottom of Jiang Miao's heart fell to the ground, followed behind and asked gently: "Then what dishes are usually served in restaurants?"

Xiao Er turned his head and understood Jiang Miao's meaning in an instant, and quickly replied: "Generally, they are some common dishes, such as eggplant, melon and cowpea, which are eaten every day. After the season, there are other dishes, such as tofu, leeks , fish, more pork is needed when it’s cold.”

He paused for a moment, glanced at Jiang Miao and Cheng Huai, and raised his tone: "But Miss Jiang's family probably doesn't raise pigs, otherwise she would have gotten fat."

"Not for the time being." Jiang Miao couldn't help laughing, the little brother's words were quite interesting.

Cheng Huai's eyes fell on Jiang Miao, who was talking eloquently in front of him, and then he looked at Xiao Er, and lifted the basket in front of him with one hand, "Thank you, brother."

The man's eyes were piercing, Xiaoer put away his smile and became serious. After checking whether the dishes were fresh, he came over with a scale and weighed them.

Thirty catties of courgettes, twenty catties of cowpea and eggplants, two catties of three pennies, counted as sixty pennies, and ninety pennies together with pickled cucumbers.

Xiao Er gave the money, and when he saw Cheng Huai looking at the wooden cage next to him, he said more: "Chickens and ducks are also needed, and if there are mountain products, the price will be almost twice as high."
