As soon as Jiang Kexin was born, her parents arranged a childhood engagement for her. However, within five days, the boy choked to death while nursing.
At five years old, another engagement w...
Deep blue flowers...
Ke Xin suppressed her twitching face, put the things in her sleeve, and nodded towards the pillar: "Thank you."
When Father Jiang saw her put the silk flower away, he became unhappy: "A little girl's clothes should be beautiful. Come on, let your mother put it on quickly, so that father can see how beautiful my Jiu'er is."
Asking her to bring flowers in front of everyone? She really wanted to find a crack in the ground to pick her feet.
The mother also wanted to see what her daughter would look like with the flowers, but seeing so many people around, she knew she was just shy, so she pinched her husband and said, "What are you talking about, old man? Hurry up and make Zhuzi a meal of three meat dishes and one vegetable dish, and give him more meat. Don't take advantage of him."
The satin silk flowers can be sold for about fourteen or fifteen cents in the town on weekdays, so adding a little more meat to the dish doesn't count as taking advantage.
Although Zhuzi felt a little disappointed that he didn't see Kexin take the flowers with her, he smiled embarrassedly when he heard what his aunt said, "My silk flowers didn't cost much, so there's no need to be so picky. Otherwise, how can I come here to eat in the future?"
"Young man, no matter how much this silk flower costs, the money you can earn from selling it will be different, right? Come here whenever you want to eat it, and I will definitely give you more meat." The more Ge Shuzhen looked at the young man, the more she liked him.
While chatting and laughing, Jiang Yongtian poured out a bowl of food for Zhuzi, which cost twelve cents. It was obvious to the naked eye that the food in the bowl was mostly meat, with only a few vegetables. When handing it to the young man, Jiang Yongtian said, "If you're not full, come back for more. It's free."
Zhuzi was very touched and nodded repeatedly to Father Jiang, saying, "I'm full, thank you, uncle."
After taking the bowl, Zhuzi returned to his stall to eat. At this time, the onlookers began to introduce which stall they were from and wanted to exchange things for food.
In a short while, they had exchanged a lot of items on their stall, most of which were things that could be used at home, as well as some vegetables, mountain products, seafood, etc. Because there were few people in front and the workers at the dock had not finished their work yet, Jiang Yongtian and Jiang Shan were busy enough to handle it, so Ge Shuzhen pulled Kexin aside.
"Jiu'er, what do you think of that pillar?" Ge Shuzhen asked, then continued, "I see that this kid has a sharp tongue, and his clothes are clean and starched. He looks like a smart young man, good at talking and handling things. I think he's a good guy."
Ke Xin wants to cry!
"Mom, I just got engaged this month and someone died. It hasn't even been seven days yet. Are you planning to make me die again?"
After saying this, Ge Shuzhen's old face fell visibly silent. After a breath, she smiled again: "Don't worry, what if this person's fate is stronger than yours? It's still uncertain who will die."
satisfying:....
My mother's train of thought is really weird.
"What you mean, mother, is that either I will be killed or he will be killed?" In the end, one of them has to die.
Ke Xin was speechless: "Mom, let's not talk about anything else. This Zhuzi must have a wife. Look at his clothes, they are so clean, as if they were just washed. And then look at my second brother's clothes, they are greasy and twisted. It's obvious that no one has taken care of them. You will know when you compare them."
Ge Shuzhen looked at the pillar, then at the second child who was chatting and laughing with those people in front. The comparison was true. She immediately gave up the idea and shook her head regretfully: "What a pity, such a good child."
It's a pity...this person doesn't know her famous nickname. Once he knew, he would run away from her. What a pity.
Just after a quarter of an hour, people who had just finished work rushed out. They all had the same goal, heading towards the new Jiang family food stall, but half of their food was robbed on the way.
The two food stalls across from Jiang's stall started hawking: "Three meat dishes and one vegetable dish for only eight cents. Delicious and inexpensive. First come, first served."
When everyone heard that three meat dishes and one vegetable dish only cost eight cents, which was four cents cheaper than usual, some of them left in order to save money. The ones left to eat the Jiang family's food were all those who had tasted the food yesterday.
Even though most of the customers had left, the food was still sold out.
Ke Xin filled a bowl with vegetables and three steamed buns and handed them to Jiang Shan: "Second brother, take them to eldest brother and tell him that no matter what, this body is the most important."
Jiang Shan was also worried about his elder brother. When he moved to the thatched hut yesterday, he only brought a few sets of clothes with him. He didn't bring the rest of the pots and pans, nor did he take any food. He was not sure he could have eaten last night, let alone come to eat this morning.
He didn't hesitate, took the bowl, responded and walked towards the dock. As soon as he left, someone came looking for him from behind.
"Excuse me, is this the Jiang Shan family selling food here?"
A voice sounded behind her. Ke Xin turned around and saw a man in his thirties wearing a navy blue satin robe, who looked quite smart.
Ke Xin nodded towards the person who came: "It's the Jiang family selling food. My second brother went out and will be back soon."
When Shopkeeper Fang saw that it was this family, he nodded with a smile, but his shrewd eyes were restlessly scanning the bowls of food in front of him. He walked over with his feet turned outward and a smile on his face, with his hands behind his back, staring at the fragrant dishes.
He turned around and asked Kexin: "Miss, are these dishes made by your family?"
Ke Xin raised her eyebrows imperceptibly, and nodded as she collected the money: "Of course this small business is run at home. We farmers are poor and can't afford a cook."
Shopkeeper Fang asked a few more questions, but Ke Xin did not show any impatience. Instead, she gave a brief reply. Now Shopkeeper Fang realized that although this girl looked quite smart, she was actually the daughter of an honest farmer.
At that moment, a plan came to mind: "What kind of seasoning is used in Fuqi Feipian? Why does it taste spicy to me?"
After mediating for so long, the man finally told the purpose of his visit.
Ke Xin let out a sarcastic smile and asked, "What kind of seasoning does the chef at Liu's Restaurant use for their signature dish, "Stealing Tofu"? Why does it taste salty and sweet to me?"
Isn't that all nonsense? You can tell that Fuqi Feipian is spicy even if you don't eat it. Is there any need to ask?
Shopkeeper Fang was stunned until he saw the disdainful smile on Ke Xin's lips. Then he realized that the reason why the girl in front of him responded so quickly was to lower his vigilance and pretend to be so stupid. It turned out that this girl was a hidden master.
"How did you know I was from Liu's Restaurant?"
Ke Xin curled her lips: "Guess."
Guess?
How could he guess what the little girl was thinking?
