Chapter 8 Write a Divorce Letter Now
Although Fengxi County is a small border town, but today coincides with the market day, people come and go quite lively.

The hand-peeled bamboo shoots in the basket were not sold yet. Qiao Muchao was not in the mood to join in the fun, so she found an empty spot to sit down on the busiest street in the county.He took out a small plate from the straw and placed half a plate of steaming bamboo shoots. He also took a few of the bamboo shoots he had cut before and placed them on it as a sample.

After she was ready, she started shouting like the original owner.

"Hand-peeled bamboo shoots, freshly baked hand-peeled bamboo shoots, taste first before buying, spicy and delicious, no charge..."

There are many people selling bamboo shoots this season, but this is the first one that is steaming like this.

"Try before you buy? Are your bamboo shoots cooked? How to eat them?" someone stopped and asked.

Qiao Muchao picked up a complete bamboo shoot and demonstrated: "You can eat it just by peeling it off. If you don't mind, you can also scratch the skin before peeling it. After all, the soup on the bamboo shoot skin is the most delicious."

New things are always particularly eye-catching, but as soon as she burned an incense stick, her stall was crowded with people.

Those who had tasted it said it tasted good, but were dissuaded by the high price of half a penny a stick.

The best thing in Fengxi County is bamboo. Although bamboo shoots have just come on the market this season, except for those wealthy families, who is buying bamboo shoots to eat?

The supply far exceeds the demand. Shelled fresh bamboo shoots only cost one penny per catty, and there are at least ten bamboo shoots per catty. She only gets two bamboo shoots per penny, so why don't you go and grab the money?

Everyone immediately talked about it, and many people asked her how she did it, but Qiao Muyao just smiled and said nothing.

Although there were many onlookers, they didn't even sell for five cents in such a long time. Qiao Muyao was actually a little anxious, thinking, could it be that she really shouted high?
Time passed quietly, and the spectators changed again and again, but still failed to make a few pennies.

Qiao Muchao was thinking about whether to reduce the price when a middle-aged man wearing a satin gown came over with a big belly.

She quickly shouted: "Uncle, try peeling the bamboo shoots with my hands, and keep them for you so you can still want to eat them."

"Peel the bamboo shoots by hand? Let me try them."

The man stopped and took the bamboo stick from her hand. The bamboo shoots on the bamboo stick had already been peeled. Qiao Muyao dipped them in the soup before handing them to him.

After putting it in his mouth and chewing it for a moment, the man's eyes widened in curiosity, "Are these bamboo shoots boiled with pepper?"

"Spicy pepper? What is pepper?" those spectators asked curiously.

Chili pepper should be chili pepper. It seems that the world is not without chili pepper, but that it has not been promoted on a large scale.

"You don't know this!" the middle-aged man said proudly: "This is a Persian condiment. It tastes so spicy. Only a few big restaurants in Kyoto use this condiment all year round..."

"Uncle, do you want to buy it or not?" Qiao Muyao didn't want to listen to his spiel.

"Buy, buy, buy, I'll buy as much as you have!" the man said proudly.

Qiao Muyao was stunned, "One stick costs half a penny. Do you really want that much?"

"Am I going to lie to you, a woman?" He glanced at Qiao Muchao arrogantly, "Come with me, I'll take care of everything in this jar."

Carrying a bamboo basket on her back, Qiao Muchao followed him to the front restaurant. The fat man took her straight to the kitchen and asked her to check out the items before going to the counter to pay.

It turned out to be the shopkeeper who had a full house, no wonder he spent so generously, Qiao Muyao thought to herself that she was really blind just now.If we had known this earlier, we would have gotten closer, and maybe we could have long-term cooperation.

Unexpectedly, this big jar of bamboo shoots was sold for eighty or ninety cents. You must know that the original owner could not earn one tael of silver a month before. Of the six taels of silver, the pig seller only earned [-] taels of silver.

After leaving the restaurant, she went straight to the clothing store opposite. She was really fed up with this sack-like Ge Yi, and this time she had to buy something that suited her aesthetics.The selection of long skirts and short undershirts of various fabrics and colors in the ready-made clothing store was dazzling. But looking at the copper plate in her hand, she finally chose a light blue sword-sleeved and waisted coarse cloth undershirt. It was beautiful, simple and very suitable. Wear it when doing farm work.

After buying clothes, there were not many copper coins left in my purse. I only had some fare left, so I used the remaining copper coins to buy some food.

The first time she tried to do business, she achieved impressive results. Qiao Muchao was actually a little proud.

After finally returning to the village, she thought about making a surprise attack to see what the ice face was doing.

When she walked into the yard, she slowed down her pace, and a string of laughter like silver bells floated over. Qiao Muyao was immediately dumbfounded.

"Brother Jingchen, is this comfortable?" Ding Meng'er's charming voice came from inside the room.

"Well, it's more comfortable than before."

The ice-faced voice sounded particularly gentle, not as harsh as when he was with her.

Haha, it turns out you're not unwarm, you're just not warm to me!
A trace of regret flashed through Qiao Muyao's heart, just like the cabbage she had finally raised but watched helplessly being raped by a pig.

Just as he was hesitating whether to go in, he suddenly heard Qiao Muyang shouting from behind: "Sister, I've finally caught up with you."

The sound alarmed everyone in the room, and An Jingchen quickly appeared at the door, but said nothing.

Qiao Muyao put down her backpack and looked at Qiao Muyang, who was running out of breath, "When did you see me? Why are you running so fast?"

"I saw you as soon as you got out of the car, but you were walking too fast and I couldn't catch up." Qiao Muyang said after taking a breath.

"Oh, you still know how to come back!" Ding Meng'er said sarcastically, "I thought you had eloped with Chang Wu."

Qiao Muyao sneered, "Don't you just hope for the stars and the moon, and hope that I will elope with someone else? Don't worry, I won't fulfill your wish!"

"you……"

Ding Meng'er's almond-shaped eyes widened with anger, "Brother Jingchen, look, she has wronged me again!"

"What do you mean I wronged you again?"

Qiao Muyao deliberately said loudly: "It's obvious that you have wrongfully accused me of eloping with others again and again. Why can't I refute this accusation?"

This bitch was very dull before. She always obeyed everyone, but why is she so sharp-tongued today?

Since it is said that she is buttoning her hat, then this hat should be buttoned to the end.

Ding Meng'er walked up to her with a smile, "Flies don't bite seamless eggs. Don't think I don't know about your and Chang Wu's plan to elope..."

"Sister, you bought so many delicious cakes and bait." Qiao Muyang flipped through his backpack curiously, "You also bought a new piece of clothing?"

Ding Meng'er stared at the sword-sleeved uniform in his hand and said excitedly: "Brother Jingchen, look at her, she has even prepared her riding and shooting uniforms and dry food, and she still refuses to admit that they are eloping!"

Although there is no affection between them, if this woman really runs away with someone, what will others think of him?

An Jingchen's narrow red phoenix eyes shrank slightly, revealing a sinister aura, "If you can't wait, then I will write a letter of divorce now."
