Spatial Farm Life: Raising My Kid, Abusing Scum, and Keeping Busy With Life

  Chapter 37 Can guarding the monkey hold dates?

   "I look so ordinary, it would be a big mistake if you hit me with this idea."

   After talking about the matter in a few words, some old customers ran to her booth when they had nothing to do.

   "Little lady, are you okay?"

   "It's okay, it's okay, it's so fast, you know?"

   "That's not true. The town is not very big, and it spread all over the place in the morning. If you don't buy a girl, you can buy two dogs. Dogs are the most important job for housekeepers. Thieves are afraid of dogs."

   "Who has a dog? It's terrible. If I give birth, I will buy two?"

   "Wait for me to inquire for you, and call you?"

   "Good class, I'm here to thank you first."

  Qiao Mai put all the things she sold on the table. There were quite a lot of people around her booth, and they all heard the news and came to care about her. Qiao Mai hurriedly put the boiled quail eggs on the table.

   "Come, come, come, thank you for your concern today, I invite you to taste quail eggs for free."

   "Aha, you have a new product here?"

   "Yeah, I won't sell watermelon and ice cubes until September, and I've got some new food, everyone cheers."

   "Don't worry, as long as it's delicious, there will be many repeat customers."

  Qiao Mai grabbed a few quail eggs for everyone present, "It's like eating eggs, you can eat it after peeling off the outer skin."

  Everyone tasted it and nodded, "Why do your quail eggs still have a salty taste?"

   "This is called five-spice quail eggs. Let me tell you, this egg is not only delicious, but also has medicinal value. Children eat it to strengthen their brains, and elderly people eat it to relieve swelling. Eating it often can also treat anemia."

"real?"

   "If you don't believe me, you take the egg and ask the doctor in the hospital?"

   Someone actually went to the clinic with an egg, but when they asked about it, it was true. When they came back and said it, the people around immediately exploded.

   With such great benefits, you must buy some for the elderly and children at home.

   "How did you sell it?"

   "One penny."

   "Give me twenty."

   "Me too, I want fifty."

   After a while, half of the pot of quail eggs was left, and the people who bought this hadn't left yet.

  Some asked for a watermelon, some asked for a few pieces of ice, and some asked for strawberries and melons. They haven’t been out of the stall for several days, and everyone is suffocating, wanting to have a good meal.

  Having been busy all morning and haven't eaten yet, when there were no guests, she sat down to rest, took a melon and ate it.

  At this time, Yuan Jiaqi came to the stall with the child in his arms, "You are being polite, little lady."

  Qiao Mai saw him, and was about to stand up, when he hurriedly said:

   "You've been busy all morning, so it's the same when you sit and talk."

   "Is the child feeling better?"

  That's what he said, but Qiao Mai still got up.

   "It's much better, the fruit is delicious. The child can't eat, so he ate a lot of fruit. The sweet corn is also delicious. The fever subsided this morning, and I just came back from the hospital."

   "Where's the child's mother?"

   "It was difficult to give birth to him, let's go!"

   "Um, can he eat eggs?"

   "The fever is gone, should it work?"

  Qiao Mai took a quail egg from the basin, peeled it and handed it to the little boy's mouth.

   "Try it, it's delicious."

  The little boy looked at Yuan Jiaqi, "Can I eat it, Daddy?"

   "Eat what you want!"

  The little boy opened his mouth and ate the quail egg into his mouth, "Thank you, auntie!"

   "Auntie has nothing else here, there are a lot of delicious food, if you like to eat, come to Auntie."

  Yuan Jiaqi was a little embarrassed, "The child had a fever last night. I didn't go to your house because of an accident. I'm really sorry."

   "Children are important, why are there so many people, is that why you came here?"

"Yes."

   "It's so particular, have you ever read a book?"

  “I read it for a few years, but I haven’t read it anymore.”

   "No wonder you speak politely. It's not easy for you to take care of a child by yourself. If you have something to do in the future, you can put the child in my house. I am at the stall during the day and usually at home at night, unless I go to Fucheng to buy goods."

   "Thanks a lot!"

  The little boy tasted delicious to eat quail eggs, Qiao Mai saw that he liked it, and immediately wrapped a dozen or so for him in oiled paper.

   "Take it, Auntie doesn't want your money, just eat a few more if it tastes good, this egg can't stay overnight, it will go bad if it's too hot."

   "Thank you, auntie"

  Yuan Jiaqi nodded slightly at her, "Thank you, then let's go home."

   "Go, go, let him drink more plain water."

  The father and son left, Qiao Mai sat down, washed his hands, and took out the embroidery work to start embroidering.

  After a few stitches, Lu Sanniang came over.

   "Yesterday you asked Ru Xin to take back some eggs, and the corn was delicious. Why didn't you sell the corn today?"

   "Just bring it back and let everyone taste it first, and it will be served in a few days."

   "I'll buy it tomorrow. It's really delicious. Anyway, it's a beach. If you put more of the same, you will earn the same money."

   "I think you've lost your money."

   "It's not all because of you. Your stall is more profitable than my embroidery shop. I will catch a few of them from your house later, and try to raise them when I go home."

   "That's called quail. Remember to keep it in the house. Quail likes to be warm and can't stand the cold. It's very fragile."

   "How do you raise me, how do you raise the eggs, besides my own eggs, give some to friends, and the relationship is also good."

   "This little thing is easy to raise. There is water and food. You don't need to worry about it for a few days. Just collect the eggs at some point."

"Uh-huh!"

   While she was talking, a carriage stopped in front of her stall. She thought it was for shopping, but when the window was lifted, two heads, one big and one small, laughed at her.

   "It turns out that my sister really set up a stall here."

   Qiao's face darkened, and she felt a headache when she saw the two siblings. Shopkeeper Lu is a familiar person, so she asked immediately when she saw them.

   "This girl, are you here to find my sister?"

   "Yeah, let's talk slowly after I come down?"

  The coachman led the carriage to the empty seat inside, and two girls and a boy got out of the carriage.

   When they came to the booth, shopkeeper Lu called the girl in the shop and moved three chairs.

   "sit, sit"

   Seeing that they didn't even smile, Mrs. Qiao frowned tightly.

   "How did you find this place?"

   "There is nothing to do today, and the weather is so good, so I brought my brother over here to try my luck. I have eaten all the fruit, you know."

   "I can't get it out even if you come here, so I'll just spread out these kinds of fruits. If you want to get those fruits, you have to go south."

   "I think the ones on the stall are fine. You don't know. Just take this berry as an example. The ones in Fucheng are not as good as yours, and the melons are not as sweet as yours. What is in your pot?"

  As they asked, the siblings stared at the quail eggs and swallowed.

   "This is an egg, a quail egg, an egg laid by a poultry called a quail."

   "Can I try one?"

  Qiao Mai looked at the pair of foodies, reluctantly took a few and put them in their hands.

   "Eat it, remember to peel it."

   Shopkeeper Lu looked at the interaction between Qiao Mai and the pair of siblings, and was a little curious. How come customers are not happy when they come to buy her things?

   After eating the quail eggs, the little girl pointed to the ones in the basin.

   "I want all of these."

   "It's hot, so you have to finish eating before the night, or you will have a stomachache."

   "It's okay, don't you have ice here? Wouldn't it be enough to put a few pieces in? Besides, I guess I won't be able to reach Fucheng, and the eggs will be eaten."

  Qiao Mai curled his lips, thinking about it too, can the monkey hold the dates?

   "Do you want anything else?"

   "Yes, yes, I found that your watermelon is better than others. Not to mention the thin skin, it is sandy and sweet. My brother is willing to eat your watermelon."

  Qiao Mai asked shopkeeper Lu to watch the stall for her, and went to the grocery store to buy some baskets and came back.

  Packed ten watermelons, the whole number is easy to settle accounts, and the other party is not short of money, the more the better.

   There are sixty melons in one basket, twenty boxes of strawberries, and there is no need to count the quail eggs.

  Qiao Mai loaded the baskets in the same way, while Wang Jiaru sat on the side chatting with shopkeeper Lu.

  This little girl can really speak, not only how she and Qiao Mai met, but also her name, address, and the fact that her younger brother was injured when he was a child and hit his head.
