Candide in Chronology is on strike

On the way back, Tang Ying kept thinking about the scene she just saw, and she felt very complicated in her heart.

She always thought that she resented the Tang family, even though her surname was Tang.

After all, they were so heartless, and after so many years of relationship, they gave up when they said they wanted to, without any news at all. But after seeing Tang Yan today, she found that she was very calm, neither resentful nor resentful, and even distracted. Think of other things.

She used to always want an answer, but now she doesn't seem to need it anymore.

Of course, this is all based on the fact that Tang Yan and the Tang family are not living a satisfactory life. If their lives are prosperous and she is the only one who is not happy, then of course she will feel unfair.

Thinking of He Yuan, Tang Ying quickened her pace. She decided to invite He Yuan to go to Qin Xi's house for dinner tomorrow night. He had lost weight.

The welfare benefits of He Yuan's school are quite good, but he is not fat at all. She knows where the money he saved has been spent, and now she plans to make up for it for him.

When Qin Xi comes back in the afternoon, she will ask Qin Xi to take her to the farmer's market to have a look and try to get up early tomorrow to buy some meat.

Even if there is no meat, it is good to buy an old hen and make soup.

The next day, Tang Ying got up early, at around five o'clock.

Although her movements were small and light, Qin Xi was not a heavy sleeper. After all, she did not lack sleep. She woke up as soon as Tang Ying's movements were heard.

She couldn't sleep when the people around her were making noise.

I glanced at the sky outside the window. It was so dark that I couldn't see my fingers. In terms of time, it would definitely not be past six o'clock.

"Tang Ying, why are you up so early?" Qin Xi asked softly, rubbing his eyes.

It's too early! The sky was still pitch black.

"I plan to go to the farmer's market you took me to yesterday afternoon to see if I can buy some meat. In the evening, I will call He Yuan and come to our house to get together." Tang Ying said while putting on clothes and shoes.

The flashlight Qin Xi placed next to her pillow was on. Otherwise, she would have had to fumble for just putting on clothes and shoes. After all, the environment in this place was still unfamiliar to Tang Ying.

"Forget it, I can't sleep anymore, let's go with you." Qin Xi got up with great difficulty.

It had been a long time since she had gotten up so early. It was quite difficult to do it all of a sudden. After all, the power of the quilt sealing technique could not be blocked in the winter.

When the two of them went out, they were fully armed, wearing hats, scarves, gloves, whatever they had.

In addition, they also brought a flashlight and backpacks.

When they went out, it was still dark. They used flashlights and when they walked to the farmer's market, the sky was already dimly lit.

There were not many people in the market. There was an old man carrying a basket of things. He asked people one by one if they wanted something. Soon, he asked Qin Xi and the others.

The old man opened up the linen covering the basket behind him, which contained white and fat steamed buns.

"My daughter-in-law made these. The buns stuffed with cabbage and pork are absolutely delicious. Little girl, would you like to buy two to try?"

He did it secretly to earn a few hard-earned money. Only his son had a job in his family, but his daughter-in-law lived up to his expectations and gave birth to three grandchildren and a granddaughter in one go. This large family could not survive on his son’s salary alone!

If it weren't for the real difficulties at home, why would he take such desperate risks at this age to do this?

"I want two." Qin Xi planned to buy two to taste first. If they taste good, he would buy some more for breakfast.

"Okay, one is a dime, two is twenty cents."

The buns had just come out of the pot not long ago and had been covered with a cloth. Therefore, the buns were still warm and the temperature was just right when you ate them in your mouth.

Qin Xi took a tentative bite first. The bun was as big as an adult male's fist. When he took one bite, he didn't get the filling, but the dough still tasted good.

The buns are very soft in the hand, but when eaten in the mouth, they are a bit chewy. When chewed carefully, there seems to be a hint of sweetness, full of wheat flavor, and the taste is still very good.

The filling inside is salty. Although there are only a few bits of minced meat in it, the meaty flavor is maximized.

Overall, Qin Xi was very satisfied. Seeing that the old man hadn't left yet, he went over to buy twenty buns from him. He also asked him when he would come to sell buns, and learned that he would come basically every morning. , the mood became beautiful instantly.

In the morning of winter, no one wants to make breakfast. If you have steamed buns at home, it will be very convenient. You can just heat them up and eat them. It is very simple.

And in the middle of winter, the steamed buns won’t go bad, so it’s good to buy a few more at once and store them away.

For such a big bun, she could eat at most one and a half in the morning. These twenty buns should be enough for them to eat for three days, not bad.

After waiting for another half an hour, Tang Ying saw the old lady selling chickens as she wished. It was an old hen that was losing its feathers. It was very thin and light. It was only a little more than two kilograms. Two and a half kilograms must be No.

Everyone knows that old hens make soup very nourishing. The lady has raised this old hen for six years. This chicken no longer lays eggs. We can’t keep it for nothing and waste food!

So, today, it was taken to the farmer's market, and the aunt planned to sell the chicken for a minimum of three and a half yuan, which was her lowest price.

She will never sell it for less than this price. The worst she can do is come back tomorrow. Anyway, her village is only more than an hour away from here, so it's not a hassle.

"Auntie, can we really have no more?" Tang Ying asked.

The chicken was so thin, weighing just over two pounds, that it felt light and weightless in her hand. Three and eight dollars seemed a bit expensive to her.

If you remove things like chicken feathers and bones, there may not even be a pound of meat left.

Of course, the old hen is drinking soup. If it can be obtained at a more affordable price, it will naturally be the best.

"Girl, this price is really not high, it's already very low. Three and eight dollars is my minimum price. I've been raising this old hen for six or seven years. In these six or seven years, it has eaten so much food from me. Go in, if my family wasn't in urgent need of money, I would never be willing to sell it."

"This price is already very affordable."

Tang Ying is not a person who is good at bargaining with others. After all, she is young and thin-skinned. In this regard, she is the same as Qin Xi.

Although she thought the price was not cheap, it was rare to find such a suitable one. She gritted her teeth and bought it anyway.

This chicken was bought by Heyuanbu Body, and also to thank Qinjiang and Qinxi for helping them.

This time, she was really bleeding profusely.
