Chapter 93

As soon as I approached the vegetable market, I heard all kinds of complicated sounds and the aroma of food coming from inside.

There are two breakfast stalls at the entrance of the market. Although it is noon now, the steamer has not stopped yet. It makes people feel stuffy just looking at it in the hot summer.

Shi Huairou, who hadn't eaten lunch, and Lou Yaoyao and Cao Yuhao, who hadn't eaten much, swallowed subconsciously.

The three little guys, who were very concerned about their reputation, quickened their pace as they walked inside, but their eyes kept glancing at the various food stalls around them. Their greedy and face-saving looks made the netizens in the live broadcast room feel distressed and funny at the same time.

After eating their fill, Jiaojiao and Mu Yicheng's pace was not so hurried.

Jiaojiao was confused and curious as it was her first time to come to such a place. While turning her little head to look around, her fair and tender hands were still tightly holding her brother Mu Yicheng's hand.

With his younger brother holding his hand, Mu Yicheng naturally felt a sense of responsibility as an older brother. He slowed down his pace to match his younger brother's, lowered his head and whispered to his younger brother to comfort him not to be afraid.

"No, I'm not afraid." Jiaojiao shook her little head and looked up at Mu Yichen with a soft smile.

Looking at his brother who was smiling so adorably, Mu Yicheng really wanted to poke him in the face.

He clenched his fist, hesitated for a moment, and then asked politely, "Brother Jiaojiao, can I poke your face?"

Although Jiaojiao didn't understand why Brother Mumu wanted to poke her face, she nodded and said, "Okay."

Having received consent, Mu Yicheng extended his index finger and gently poked Jiaojiao's face. Seeing a dimple on his brother's fair and tender face, he quickly retracted his hand and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"

Jiaojiao shook her head: "It doesn't hurt."

After hearing his brother say that it didn't hurt, Mu Yicheng finally felt relieved and continued walking. While walking, he would turn his head from time to time to glance at Jiaojiao's face.

Mu Yicheng shook the hand that had just poked Jiaojiao's face, thinking to himself, Jiaojiao's face is so nice to poke, so soft and tender, I want to poke it again!

In the bustling vegetable market, passers-by couldn't help but focus their eyes on these five cute little kids and the group of staff carrying cameras. While they were sighing at how good-looking these five little kids were, they were also wondering what these people were doing here?

Before getting off the bus, the five kids completed a lottery to allocate stalls on the bus.

The result of the draw was that Shi Huairou, Lou Yaoyao, and Cao Yuhao were on one street, and Jiaojiao and Mu Yicheng were on another street.

Although they are on the same street, the distance between them is still quite far for children.

For example, Jiaojiao's stall is just across from Mu Yicheng's, and it takes five minutes to run over there.

The staff set up a dedicated vegetable stall for the cubs in the market and then left.

The reason for removing all the adults was to see how the cubs would react without the familiar adults around them.

In fact, for the safety of the cubs, the staff did not actually evacuate, but stood not far away with the cubs' parents to observe the cubs' performance and reactions.

It’s just that their position is a blind spot of vision that has been calculated through precise measurements.

This ensures the safety of the cubs while preventing them from noticing that the adults are nearby.

As for the practice of removing all the adults and leaving the cubs alone in a strange place, will it have any impact on the cubs' psychology?

In response to this point, when this task was proposed, the director invited a psychological expert to evaluate the personalities of these cubs, and finally concluded that the possibility of causing psychological impact was very small.

This can be seen from the first time the cubs meet their unfamiliar parents; all of them have big hearts.

As for the shooting task, it was handed over to the small flying intelligent camera.

Since the emergence of small flying cameras, almost all variety shows nowadays, except for children's variety shows, use this type of flying camera to complete filming.

This is because it can reduce manpower while also allowing us to capture many scenes that would be difficult to capture manually.

The reason why the baby show does not use this kind of small camera is that if there are staff accompanying them, the safety of the children can be ensured to the greatest extent.

In the vegetable market, the departure of the staff did not make the cubs panic or anything like that. Instead, Cao Yuhao jumped twice happily on the spot, squatted down, grabbed the mat and wanted to drag the vegetables to Jiaojiao to sell.

However, it did not pull because the force was too weak.

Cao Yuhao, who couldn't pull the vegetables, struggled for a while and then gave up helplessly. He changed his mind and decided to sell the vegetables quickly and then go find Jiaojiao.

Jiaojiao from another street was squatting in front of the vegetable stall waiting for her uncles and aunts to come and buy vegetables. While waiting, if she saw that the vegetables were not arranged neatly, she would stretch out her little hands to arrange them neatly.

The child squatting obediently in front of the vegetable stall was wearing light blue denim overalls and a warm yellow short-sleeved shirt, with a pair of small white shoes on his feet. He had porcelain white skin and a pink mouth, and a pair of dark and bright eyes under his fluffy black hair.

Passersby couldn't help but stop and stare at this soft, cute and delicate cub.

Yang Yi, who was out buying vegetables, stopped and watched for a long time out of curiosity when she saw such a delicate child selling vegetables.

Yang Yi, who is already 35 years old but still has no children, likes children very much. Whenever she sees her neighbors taking their children out for a walk in the community, she always goes up to them and says a few words.

While people in the vegetable market were staring at the child and discussing him, netizens in the live broadcast room were no less interested.

"Whose baby is this? It's so cute. Oh, it's mine."

"Baby, you're so good."

'Ah, my cub is the cutest cub I have ever seen.'

"I wonder if my son will cry if the vegetables can't be sold."

'That's really too much.'

"Yeah, the baby came out so happy, if it doesn't sell, it would be too..."

"My baby is so cute, how could I not be able to sell vegetables?"

"My dear little one, you are so cute. Auntie will give you lots of kisses."

'Hahaha, I've already prepared the pink sack, just waiting for the opportunity to steal it.'

"What a coincidence! The sack I prepared is also pink."

'Luckily mine is blue.'

When netizens in the live broadcast room were heatedly discussing how to steal the baby, Yang Yi, who had been watching for a while, couldn't help but walk over and asked: "Little kid, are you selling vegetables?"

Jiaojiao, squatting in front of the vegetable stall with her hands on her knees, nodded and replied obediently, "Yes, Auntie."

Being called Auntie, Yang Yi curled her eyes unconsciously: "Then can you sell it?"

Jiaojiao nodded: "Yes."

Yang Yi, who was not quite convinced, pointed at the cabbage on the vegetable stall and asked, "How much is this cabbage per pound?"

Jiaojiao tilted her head and thought for a moment before she said crisply, "One dollar and one cent."

"What about this eggplant?"

"Two dollars and a half."

"What about these beans?"

"Five dollars."

Seeing that the prices he quoted were all correct, Yang Yi was a little surprised and said with a smile: "Great, not a single one is wrong."

Being praised, Jiaojiao puffed out her chest and nodded seriously: "Yeah, Jiaojiao is great."

When the netizens in the live broadcast room who were originally surprised at Jiaojiao's memory saw this, several comments immediately flew out from their fingers.

"Yes, yes, my Jiaozi is the best!"

'There's no one better than my cub!'

"I declare that Jiao Jiao is the best in the world!"

"Ahhh, this serious boast about not having any cuteness is not touching me!"

"I didn't expect Jiaozi to remember the price. That's great!"

"Oh, this little thing is so cute."

'I don't know if it's too late for me to have another girl now!'

"So cute!"

"It's too late, my family has already reserved it!"

In front of the vegetable stall, Yang Yi, who was amused, wanted to tease the child, so she asked, "Can you make it cheaper?"

Jiaojiao was puzzled: "What is it, cheaper?"

"If it's five dollars, can you sell it to me for four and a half dollars, which means charging less." Yang Yi said softly.

"No." Jiaojiao shook her little head and said seriously, "We have to make money, not be cheap."

"Is that so? Okay then." Yang Yi said as she picked up the dishes she had just pointed at and said, "Weigh them for me!"

Jiaojiao stood up with the help of the spread cloth and reached out to take the vegetables, wiping her hands on her clothes.

Jiaojiao took the vegetables from her aunt's hand, turned around and put them on the scale. She looked at the numbers on the electronic scale and blinked blankly.

He couldn't read, so he scratched his fingers helplessly, then turned to look for help at the old man who was also selling vegetables nearby.

The old man selling vegetables nearby was stunned when he met his gaze, then he sighed softly and came forward to help.

When paying, Jiaojiao handed the QR code hanging around her neck to her aunt: "Scan this and pay."

Yang Yi scanned the code to pay, and when leaving, she couldn't help but reach out and touch the child's furry head.

Jiaojiao didn't hide either. She opened her dark eyes and let him touch her obediently.

"Ahhh, she actually touched my baby's head, and I haven't even gotten to be touched yet!!!"

"That's too much! She actually touched my baby's head. I want to touch it too!"

"You can touch it if you want, but you'll have to wait in line."

'My baby is so good!'

"I also want to go shopping, but it's too far away."

"I'm close, but I'm at work and can't go!"

'My number is 3568.'

'I'm different, I want to kiss him until he cries!'

"He's so good, he's so good, say it ten times, he's so good..."

After the aunt who bought the vegetables left, Jiaojiao ran to the old man who was also selling vegetables, looked up at him and said, "Thank you, Grandpa."

The old man smiled and said, "It's okay, kid."

After saying thank you, Jiaojiao ran back to the vegetable stall and squatted down.

When people passing by saw such a delicate little kid selling vegetables, they couldn't help but come forward to patronize her after looking at her for a while.

I don’t know how to put it, but whenever I see this child, I have an inexplicable urge to get close to him.

When buying groceries, these people always like to reach out and touch Jiaojiao's head or pinch his face.

Jiaojiao just kept her eyes open throughout the whole process, allowing herself to be touched and pinched without hiding or making a fuss.

Li Yubai, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but frown slightly.

This child is too well-behaved, and this kind of well-behavedness makes people feel uneasy.

Among the cubs, Jiaojiao was the fastest-selling one, followed by Lou Yaoyao.

Whenever the little girl saw an elderly person or an auntie passing by, she would ask, "Grandma, Auntie, are you buying some groceries?"

Most of the elderly people and women who were asked would stop to buy some vegetables.

The one in the worst situation was Cao Yuhao. While selling things, he couldn't help but pick up the cucumbers and tomatoes on the vegetable stall and started eating them. He didn't even care about the customers who came forward to ask about the prices.

Xiao Tiancheng was speechless while the live broadcast room burst into laughter.

After Cao Yuhao, who was sitting in front of the vegetable stall, was almost full, he clapped his hands and stood up.

He stood up, thought for a while, then squatted down again and picked up a few tomatoes from the vegetable stall. When everyone thought he was going to continue eating, he turned around and left the vegetable stall with the tomatoes in his arms.

Humph, he wants to go find Jiaojiao instead of selling vegetables.

He's full anyway!

Xiao Tiancheng, who was already trying hard to suppress his hunger, watched Cao Yuhao abandon the vegetable stall and leave. The muscles on his face couldn't help but twitch.

Cao Yuhao is the strongest among the children, and he runs very fast with his short legs.

After about ten minutes, he ran from another street to the street where Jiaojiao was. After another five minutes, he successfully found Jiaojiao.

Jiaojiao, squatting in front of the vegetable stall, saw Cao Yuhao standing in front of her with a silly grin. Her dark eyes widened and she asked in surprise, "Brother Cao Yu, are you sold out of vegetables?"

"Not yet." Cao Yuhao shook his head and took a tomato and stuffed it into Jiaojiao's hand: "Here, this is delicious."

Jiaojiao blinked curiously: "Don't you need to come and sell it for money?"

"No need. Making money is their business as adults. It has nothing to do with us kids." Cao Yuhao said as he sat cross-legged in front of the vegetable stall.

Jiaojiao only understood that this was not for sale, so she took the tomato and took a bite. It tasted sour and sweet and was very delicious.

"Jiaojiao?" Li Li, who was passing by, was surprised to see Jiaojiao on the vegetable stall.

When Jiaojiao heard her name, she looked up and called out sweetly with curved eyebrows, "Auntie."

"Why are you here?" Li Li asked, squatting in front of the vegetable stall.

Li Li didn't want to see Jiaojiao, a lovely child, in this area.

Because the serial killer that the police station has been chasing has been appearing in this area recently, almost the entire criminal police team has been dispatched.

She was responsible for leading the team to inspect the South Street area, which included this vegetable market.

"We are selling vegetables here and completing tasks." Before Jiaojiao could answer, Cao Yuhao on the side answered first.

Hearing this, Li Li glanced at the few vegetables on the stall and said, "I'll buy these. Once you've sold your vegetables, hurry back."

After saying that, she took the plastic bag and started packing the vegetables neatly.

The vegetables were sold out in a blink of an eye. Jiaojiao didn't react and blinked blankly while holding the half-eaten tomato.

Seeing his little appearance, Li Li rubbed his furry head and said, "Aren't you happy that the vegetables are sold out?"

"Happy." Jiaojiao said crisply.

Li Li smiled, and when she turned around to weigh the dishes, she couldn't help but stand on tiptoe to look across while holding Jiaojiao who had eaten half a tomato.

"What are you looking at?" Cao Yuhao asked curiously.

"Look at Brother Mumu." Jiaojiao said.

"Mu Yicheng? What's so good about him?" Cao Yuhao frowned.

"Look, Brother Mumu, have you sold all the vegetables?" Jiaojiao said as she took a bite of the tomato in her arms.

"How can we see this? Let's go over and take a look." Cao Yuhao said as he pulled Jiaojiao to the opposite side.

Just as Cao Yuhao was pulling Jiaojiao to the other side, his sight suddenly fell on Jiaojiao sitting on a short man, and all the hairs on his body stood up in an instant.
