The mung bean cake on the plate is half the size of Rui Ge'er's small hand, but it is heavy when pinched, and Xia Huai is satisfied with this mung bean cake.

After all, the only impression she had of eating pastries was that the heavier the pastries, the better they were. At least in modern times, the heavy pastries she eats are delicious!

When she pinched it, she smelled a crisp scent of mung beans.

In ancient times, there were no miscellaneous additives, at most the pastry stuffed you with more grain, but the concentration of this taste, it is obvious that Poria Zhai did not cut corners.

Also, if you cut corners, no matter how famous the store is, it will stink, right?

Xia Huai took a bite gently, the entrance is still the fragrance of mung beans, the sweetness is average, it will not make people feel tired, and after eating a bite, people can't help but take the next bite.

Not bad indeed.

As soon as this thought came to mind, Xia Huai found that Rui Ge'er's little claws had stretched out to the plate again, she wanted to stop it, thinking that Rui Ge'er had indeed not eaten the pastry for a long time, anyway, it was brought out by Aunt Zhu, Aunt Zhu is not the kind of person who cares about face, since it is brought out, it will be fine after eating.

Of course, it's better not to finish eating, it doesn't look good on your face.

Thinking like this, Xia Huai broke off half of the pastry in his hand, and handed the intact half to Rui Ge'er: "Rui Ge'er, my mother can't finish eating, you help my mother eat." ”

If she gave it to Rui Ge'er directly, Rui Ge'er specified that she would not agree, but if she said this, Rui Ge'er would not doubt it, and immediately gave up taking the new one and went to pick up the piece that Xia Huai handed him.

"Oh, I'll give it to you to eat, Xiaohuai, eat some more!" Aunt Zhu couldn't refuse, and immediately stuffed another piece for Xia Huai.

Xia Huai couldn't cry or laugh, and he didn't refuse.

After all, she hates pushing around the most, and if there is something delicious in the future, she will bring some to Aunt Zhu.

After eating the pastries in his hand quickly, Xia Huai hurriedly pointed out: "Aunt Zhu, my mother came to you before, right?" I want to buy a basket of vegetables. ”

Aunt Zhu nodded: "Yes, I did say this. If you want me to say what else to buy, I can't finish the vegetables in my vegetable field, you just go and pick them! ”

Xia Huai shook his head: "This can't be done, if it's just once, but what if we pick it all in the future?" ”

Aunt Zhu paused, this really stopped her. If she goes two or three times, she can still accept it, if she picks it all day long, I'm afraid that she won't have enough to eat!

Xia Huai has been looking at Aunt Zhu, and when she saw this, she smiled slightly and said, "So, according to what my mother said, five cents in a basket." ”

She took out the money she had counted in advance and handed it to Aunt Zhu: "If you want to say that we also earned it, let's go, don't delay my aunt's cooking, I quickly picked it up." ”

Aunt Zhu's vegetable patch is in the backyard, and as far as the eye can see, it is green.

She picked up the familiar radishes and cabbage and picked a basket, which was not too much, although according to her ability, she could at least stack this basket one level higher.

But that's too much.

"Auntie, then we'll go back first." Xia Huai carried the basket and held Rui Ge'er's hand with the other hand.

"Okay, come to my house to play another day, and when my grandson comes back, let Rui Ge'er come over to play!"

"Okay!"

When they returned to the place, the aroma of the stewed meat had already come out, and the noodles were fast on hot days, and at this time, Zhou Huiniang and Liu Qingyun were kneading the dough with Wang Shuyu, ready to start making baked cakes.

"Xiaohuai is back?" Zhou Huiniang hurriedly wiped her hands, trotted over, and took the basket in her daughter's hand: "Huai'er, what do you use with that pot?" Do you put it directly on the fire and burn it? But why don't I think I can put it down, will it fall? ”

"Mother, don't worry." She called for the stone: "Stone, run to the village and ask who has charcoal!" ”

Shi was stunned: "Charcoal? Why do you need that, can't firewood? ”

"It's not very convenient, I didn't prepare it today, you can go buy some later." Before Xia Huai finished speaking, he heard Liu Qingyun shout: "What?!" Buying charcoal? That's a precious thing, how can you afford it! ”

Also, charcoal has always been sky-high in ancient times, although this dynasty is overhead, and the price is not so outrageous, but as far as she knows, the most ordinary charcoal is sold for more than ten or twenty wen a catty, which is worthy of the price of pork!

Besides, the amount of charcoal used is quite large, and you may have to take the remaining method.

"Aunt Liu, don't worry, let's talk about the future later, let's take care of the present first," Xia Huai said as he glanced at the stone.

The stone man was a big ghost, and he immediately ran away, and he was also smart and ran directly towards the village chief's house.

In his opinion, if this kind of good thing is not in the village chief's house, then no one will have it!

When the stone passed, the village chief's house was eating, and the door was opened by a strange woman, who seemed to be in her early fifties: "Are you?" ”

Shi greeted with a grin: "I'm here to find Village Chief Lin!" ”

Lin Hai heard the sound and walked from the courtyard with a bowl: "Who's it, it's you, what's wrong?" ”

It was the village chief's wife, Lin, who opened the door and invited the stone into the courtyard.

"That's right, I want to ask if you have charcoal at home, we want to borrow some"

Lin Hai was surprised in his heart, but his face did not show it: "Charcoal? It's really a little, it's just been put for a long time, I don't know if it can be used. What do you want charcoal for? ”

Shi smiled, scratched his head and said, "That must be cooking!" ”

Lin Hai shook his head secretly in his heart, but said on his lips: "Okay Lin Zhi, send over the half bag of charcoal in the stove room." ”

Although the stone is small, he is not stupid, and hurriedly waved his hand: "There is no need for so much."

Lin Hai smiled: "It's okay, it's useless to put it at home anyway, take it all!" ”

The stone can't refuse, so I just don't care, anyway, the sky is falling and Lao Tzu is still on top! It's really not good, isn't there still Sister Xia Huai!

In the eyes of the stone, no one is as powerful as Xia Huai, and he trusts Xia Huai unconditionally!

Lin Zhi is in his early thirties, and he looks ordinary, but he looks a little similar to Lin's temperament, and he doesn't like to talk much.

There was a round wooden table in the middle of the courtyard, on which there were two children, a boy was about seven or eight years old, and a girl was four or five years old. Next to the girl was a woman under thirty years of age, who had a sad face and a somewhat sallow face.

And there was also a woman sitting next to the boy, but this woman looked older than the one in front of her between her eyebrows, but she looked much younger on her face.

The stone looked at the food on the table in wonder, there were no meat dishes, but there was a plate of boiled eggs, and everyone had mixed noodle soup in their bowls, although it was not white noodles, but there were a lot of noodles in the bowl, and they were definitely full. In addition to these, there is also a plate of stir-fried greens, I can't tell what it is, but at least it is fried in oil.

The food is not bad, why does the woman look sick?

I couldn't figure it out, and the stone didn't think much about it, after all, he was just here to borrow charcoal.
