"Thank you, Auntie!" Shu Miao was touched and smiled to express his gratitude.
The old lady who had a cold face throughout the whole process was dazzled by the girl's warm smile and looked away uncomfortably.
After a slight "hmm", he slowly moved back to his partner's side.
Break off the solidified and cooled candied haws from the plate one by one and stick them on the straw bundles nearby.
The candied haws on the straw basket look like a string of carefully carved rubies, each one plump, round and bright red.
Soon, the straw bundles were filled with bright red candied haws.
The old man, who had been busy for a long time, finally freed his hands, pulled up the whole stalk of grass, and then walked towards the room opposite the kitchen.
The old lady began to stir the syrup in the pot to prevent it from sticking.
Shu Miao sat close to the stove, roasting his half-wet hair.
Soon, a wisp of heat rose from the top of her head.
She just watched quietly as the old couple cooperated with each other and performed magical "magic" for each bunch of ordinary hawthorn fruits.
The girl looked at him openly, distracting the busy old lady to glance at her, and said calmly
"A string of 20 cents, six strings for one dollar."
Shu Miao's eyes lit up instantly when he heard this, and he immediately took out five yuan from his pocket.
"Excuse me, that's all I need."
The old lady was stunned by her generosity, and even the old man, who had never looked at her from beginning to end, looked over sideways.
Shu Miao blinked her clear eyes, a smile on her face, "I can eat ten skewers in one go."
What he meant was that these candied haws were not enough for her to eat.
Of course this is true.
If there weren't two other people following her, she would have planned to buy all the candied haws from the old couple.
After all, you can stay in the space and eat slowly.
Most of the candied haws she had eaten before were not cleaned as carefully as these old couple, and the price was also very affordable.
This is a rare conscientious businessman.
Little did she know that her words shocked the old couple again.
Finally, it was the old lady who came to her senses first. She frowned and looked disapproving.
"It's good to eat some hawthorn in moderation, but the way you're eating it, it's going to be hard on your stomach."
Now it was Shu Miao's turn to get stuck.
No, is there any normal person who would push business away?
In an instant, she regretted speaking so hastily.
"Thank you for your reminder, Auntie. I will pay attention next time." After thanking her, she immediately changed her words shamelessly.
"I definitely can't finish all these old candied haws by myself. I have to take the rest back home to share with my brothers and sisters. We have many children in our family."
The old couple looked at each other, and finally the old lady took the money.
Just when Shu Miao breathed a sigh of relief, the old lady took out another 4 yuan note from her pocket and slowly handed it to him, "Only one yuan for sale, no more."
Shu Miao was choked by her amazing ability to lie with her eyes open. He glanced at the plate of candied haws that was about to fill up again and silently swallowed the shock on his lips.
He took the money obediently and returned to the stove.
She secretly complained in her heart, but she didn't know what to say. She could only stare at the tempting candied haws.
Just then, faint footsteps were heard outside the kitchen.
Shu Miao then remembered why the two of them came back so late?
I hurriedly stood up to greet them, but the old lady spoke again,
"Stop the fire and take out the carbon."
Shu Miao paused and finally picked up the tongs at his feet.
I picked up a piece of red-hot charcoal, and then I realized that there was no charcoal jar next to me.
"Just put it in the brazier and take it out." The old lady didn't even raise her eyelids. After giving the order, she stopped talking.
Shu Miao took a look at the syrup that was almost empty in the pot and had no choice but to do as he was told.
At the same time, the cold exterior and warm heart of the old couple became more profound.
When she brought the brazier out of the kitchen, she saw the two of them, one in the east and the other in the west, and the atmosphere was very cold.
The clothes that Li Feng had just changed were visibly wet again.
Shu Miao put down the brazier, looking surprised, "What happened to you?"
Li Feng immediately answered, his eyebrows curved, and he answered obediently, "Nothing, I just accidentally tripped and got a little wet."
"Then change your clothes quickly." Shu Miao nodded without comment and gave a reminder.
Then he looked at Zhou Yang, only to see him looking coldly at the rain outside the door, with a lonely air lingering for a long time.
He didn't care at all what the two of them were talking about.
Shu Miao was stunned for a moment, then looked at Li Feng with questioning eyes.
At this moment, Li Feng turned his back and was changing his coat.
Just when she was hesitating whether to ask Zhou Yang what was going on, the old man came out carrying a bunch of candied haws.
Unlike before when he went straight into the room opposite, he stopped and looked at Shu Miao, then pointed at the candied haws on the straw bundle.
Shu Miao understood what he meant instantly, and joy appeared in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
He took two quick steps forward and spoke half seriously and half jokingly.
"Then you better stand still, sir. I have to choose the one with the biggest head!"
The old man was infected by the girl's playfulness, and he pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a stiff smile, but it quickly disappeared.
Shu Miao naturally did not miss his reaction, and her mood became a little happier. She immediately picked up the candied haws skewers with great interest.
Where she couldn't see, Zhou Yang, who had just had a cold face, frowned and glared at Li Feng.
Li Feng spread his hands and shrugged indifferently.
But his eyes revealed one meaning: You are useless, who can you blame?
Zhou Yang has always been the one who looked down on others. How could he have ever been ridiculed like this?
