"Yan girl, I've finally caught up with you."

Qinglin drove over in a mule cart and interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Third sister, you're running too fast."

Ye Xiufang sat on the mule cart, rubbing her hands and sighing.

Ye Xiuyan saw that she was wearing a hat and a scarf, her little face was still red from the cold, and she couldn't bear it: "Sister Erya, if you don't go, I and the two eldest brothers will go to the town to deliver the goods." ”

"You don't know which food stall it is."

Although Ye Xiufang was frozen, her spirit was exceptionally good, and her eyes were shining very happily: "I can show you the way." ”

Ye Xiuyan's smart big black eyes flashed with cunning: "Isn't it the Li Ji snack stall on the dock, we can definitely find it." ”

"It's already out, not going back."

Ye Xiufang is eleven years old, a few months older than Ye Xiuyan, and it is also a fun age, she has been at home for a long time, and she wants to come out to shop.

"Since Erya doesn't want to go back, let's go."

Qinglin raised his horsewhip, drove the mule cart, and drove into the official road.

"Boom."

The black hawk came to the wide and flat avenue, hissed excitedly, and ran forward like joy.

"Yan girl, slow down."

Two cold sweats dripped from the back of Shiwen's head, and he chased after him.

Two fast horses, one large and one small, gradually approached the moving convoy, and Ye Xiuyan seemed to glance inside inadvertently when she passed by the carriage marked with mandala flowers.

She used internal vision and could clearly see a scarred woman lying inside.

The woman's body was covered with criss-crossed whiplashes, and the corners of her mouth were bruised and swollen, and she was dying.

Her eyes darkened, and she continued on her horse, passing the carriage engraved with the family crest, when a wisp of white powder popped out from between her right fingernails.

The powder drifted into the carriage with the wind, and the middle-aged man sitting in the carriage instantly had his eyelids sinking and leaned against the window unconscious.

The change occurred only for a moment, and no one noticed anything unusual in the carriage, and two horses, one large and one small, galloped past the convoy.

*

Xitang Town, Wharf.

When the snow is clear and the banks of the river freeze, passenger boats docked at the pier need manpower to break the ice before they can enter the river.

Breaking the ice is time-consuming and laborious, and there is a lot of cargo backlogged at the dock, and guests waiting for the boat to leave will also take the opportunity to disembark, walk their legs on the riverbank, and buy some food.

The docks are crowded with small vendors who gather at the piers to sell all kinds of snacks.

Qinglin drove a mule cart to Li Ji's food stall, and Ye Xiufang jumped out of the car to help him unload the goods.

"Fang girl, why didn't your father come?"

The owner of Li Kee's snack stall is a middle-aged man in his forties, about the same age as Ye Jian, and the two chatted quite a bit.

Every time Ye Jian brought Ye Xiufang to deliver goods, he would sit at his food stall for a while and have lunch by the way.

"Grandma is sick, and Dad is taking care of Grandma at home."

Ye Xiufang told the truth, holding a crockpot full of salted eggs and walking into the open pergola.

"It's cold, and the elderly are prone to illness."

The boss smiled knowingly, took the crockpot, opened the lid, and took a peek inside.

The jar contained salted eggs, large and plump, and none of them were broken.

He nodded in satisfaction, put down the crockpot, and roughly counted the numbers.

There are thirty salted eggs in one clay pot, and the Ye family sent ten clay pots, a total of three hundred salted eggs.

The profit of salted eggs is not high, and only a penny can be earned by a salted egg.

Three hundred salted eggs, together with the cost, a total of nine hundred wen.

He counted out nine hundred coins from the money drawer, put them in the money bag, handed them to Ye Xiufang, and told with a smile: "Girl, take it, be careful on the way back, don't let people steal it." ”
