Chapter 53: Jade Crystal Cake.
Cai Yuanxuan and Cai Yuanen hurriedly washed up and left without waiting for Cai Yuanqi to wake up, while Xiao Huang, who had been supervising the space for a long time, rushed to the kitchen door.
"Hurry up, your eldest brother is leaving."
Cai Yuanqi, who had been busy in the kitchen all night making yam cakes and osmanthus cakes, yawned, took off his apron, and hurried out of the space.
"Mother, I'm going to go to the city with my eldest brother."
When Gu heard the voice, he found that the courtyard was empty, shook his head and sighed helplessly.
I don't know who my little daughter's temper is like and why she is so stubborn.
Cai Yuanqi casually carried a bamboo basket, carried it behind his back, put some hay in it to cover up, and followed Cai Yuanxuan and the others not far away.
The sky in the distance was gradually showing some light, and there were already many villagers on the way to the city.
But there are not many children as young as Cai Yuanqi, and most of them follow adults.
"Thank you, grandma."
"Auntie, you're so good-looking."
"My mother is at home waiting for me to come back and buy her some rations."
Cai Yuanqi smiled and shook a little twitch, the sweet-mouthed baby was very pleasing, and some mothers-in-law with children couldn't help but decide to look at the child.
There are also some small radish heads who are similar to her age who have to help her carry the bamboo basket, and some have stuffed a handful of peanuts in her hands.
Xiao Huang in the space couldn't help but complain, relying on a deceitful little face to trick these children into eating.
Cai Yuanqi smiled on the surface, but in fact, he had fought with Xiao Huang for hundreds of rounds in the space, scolding each other.
Along the way, I also brought some wild vegetables and plants to the space, but unfortunately it didn't have much effect, and there were only one or two drops of aura.
However, Cai Yuanxuan and Cai Yuanen, who were walking in front, were in a hurry, and they didn't notice that their sister was following behind.
Cai Yuanqi was escorted by these people to the gate of the city, and they were queuing up when they entered the city, and Cai Yuanqi picked a team that was a little far away from Cai Yuanxuan to line up.
"Thank you, brother!"
Cai Yuanqi took his own bamboo basket, pretended to be from the hay, but actually took out an apple from the space and stuffed it to Ding Chong'an, who was carrying the bamboo basket in front of her and didn't talk much.
Ding Chong'an's dark and bright eyes stuffed the apple in his hand in surprise, and before he could speak, he saw that Cai Yuanqi was already lining up with a bamboo basket on his back.
He hurriedly stuffed himself into his arms, trotted to his father's side, looked at him expectantly, and carefully revealed the apple in his arms.
Ding Chong'an's father Ding Lin is a farmer, because his wife is pregnant, he wants to come to the city to buy some brown sugar and go back, and when he saw Cai Yuanqi still carrying a big bamboo basket at a young age, he asked his son to help her carry it.
"Why did you ask for someone else's apple?"
Ding Lin slapped his ass with a calm face, and pulled Ding Chongan to find Cai Yuanqi.
Ding Chong'an lowered his head with red eyes, hugged the apple in his arms and did not refute, but he did not move.
"Give it to me, and give it back to others."
Ding Lin vigorously broke Ding Chong'an's hand, his lips trembling, "How did I teach you, you dare to ask for such a valuable thing." ”
"Daddy!"
Ding Chongan hugged the apple tightly, tears falling from his eyes, "My mother has been vomiting for several days, our family can't afford this kind of expensive thing, and I can make up for my mother by eating a few bites." ”
Seeing that the people around him were looking over curiously, and the little girl couldn't see a trace, Ding Lin anxiously pulled Ding Chong'an to the side, and touched his face with his rough big hands, "We can buy it, can Dad buy it with some money?" ”
Ding Chongan looked at the apple in his hand and nodded happily, "Then let's not buy brown sugar, just buy this, it's better than brown sugar." ”
Earlier, he had also followed his father to the city, and had seen a rich man eat such fruit, and he heard that it was very expensive.
Ding Lin thought of the only dozen cents left in his purse, gritted his teeth and nodded, "Okay." ”
Cai Yuanqi didn't know anything about what happened to the Ding family's father and son, and after entering the city, she didn't follow her to the west market, but simply walked towards the rich area in the east.
The rich areas in the city are all concentrated in the eastern district, and Cai Yuanqi walks on the road with a small bamboo basket on his back as if no one is around.
Cai Yuanji's eyes fell on a pastry shop, pursed his lips and walked over, but was stopped by Xiao Er at the door.
"Little girl, we can't just go in here."
The second child is not very old but very eye-catching, and when he saw Cai Yuanqi wearing patched clothes and straw sandals, he couldn't help frowning.
This family didn't control the child, but came to our shop.
Cai Yuanqi was very dismissive of his dislike, and asked with a smile: "Little brother, I just want to ask if your family sells yam cakes?" ”
Liu Fu's face is enough to prove that yam cake is popular in the city, otherwise he would not have deliberately designed to use her mentality to buy the house for ten taels of silver.
She didn't want to rob Liu Fu's business, but she just wanted to find out about the market of yam cake here.
However, Xiao Er glanced at her lightly and waved his hand, "Little sister, go home, this jade crystal cake is not something you can afford." ”
Jade crystal cake.
Cai Yuanji's eyebrows moved slightly, took out the yam cake that had been placed in the handkerchief before, and smiled sweetly, "Little brother, what did you say?" ”
On the burlap handkerchief was a crystal clear yam cake, and it seemed to be vaguely steaming.
A faint fragrance came to his face, and Xiao Er swallowed his saliva and stared straight at the yam cake.
"Did you steal our jade crystal cake!"
Xiao Er's eyes rolled for a moment, and he pointed directly at Cai Yuanqi, with obvious malice on the face of the sharp-beaked monkey, "Hurry up and hand it over, otherwise I will report to the official." ”
Unexpectedly, he met such a villain when he first came to the town, Cai Yuanqi pretended to be afraid and took two steps back, trembling and clenching the yam cake in his hand, "You, what do you want to do." ”
Seeing this, Xiao Er stepped forward even more proudly, and yelled at her viciously, "Hurry up and call out, otherwise I will drag you to the official." ”
In this era, it is a very scary thing to see an official, because many times you will be directly put in prison, and it will not be accepted until you think about it.
Generally, things in the village are handled by the patriarch and the village head, and only serious ones will be reported to the officials.
I never thought that Cai Yuanqi deliberately bit off the yam cake and ate it directly in front of him.
Xiao Er's face was ugly, and he raised his hand and grabbed it towards Cai Yuanqi.
"What are you doing!"
Ding Lin blocked Cai Yuanqi with a calm face, and his sturdy body was much taller than Xiao Er.
Ding Chongan grabbed Cai Yuanqi's arm and blocked her behind.
Cai Yuanqi looked at the two people in front of him in surprise, how could they appear here?
Xiao Er pointed at Cai Yuanqi who was at the back, gritted his teeth and said with hatred: "You guys...... Hidden thieves. ”
Cai Yuanqi swallowed the last bit of pastry in his mouth, raised his small chin and said, "You still want to report to the official, where is the evidence?" ”
Fortunately, Xiao Huang packed her with a yam cake in advance, if there were too much, she would not be able to deal with it, but after this incident, it is enough to prove the popularity of yam cake in the city.
Liu Fu is indeed a businessman.
Cai Yuanqi felt a little painful, thinking that he should have asked for more silver if he knew it earlier, so that he might be able to have more money.
Xiao Er pointed at a few people angrily, "You wait for me." ”
Seeing this, Ding Chongan dragged Cai Yuanqi and rushed towards the street, and Ding Lin was behind the two people.
Cai Yuanqi followed the two of them through the alley for a few streets, and came to a busy market, where she hurriedly waved her hand.
