"Could you please stay away from me, young lady?" Pei Shijiu's voice was crisp and cold, exuding an intimidating aura that was completely incongruous with her youthful face.
Qiao Lian'er felt disgusted when she saw her two friends being harassed by Song Dahua and Song Xiaohua.
If this continues, the two of them will get angry and leave.
He gave Ah Da and the others a wink.
Ah Da and the others immediately ran over, and the two of them grabbed one of the arms and pushed the two away.
They saw the two sisters carrying peanuts over and assumed they were taking them out to give people free samples, so they didn't pay any attention. They didn't expect the sisters to sit down here.
The two struggled, cursing and swearing, but they were no match for each other.
When they reached stall number six, the children practically threw the two of them back.
They blocked their way again, preventing them from rushing over.
"I'm so sorry, my two older cousins are really unreasonable." Qiao Lian'er shook her head.
"It's okay, you are you, and they are them." Pei Zhujin's expression returned to normal.
Moreover, he could tell that the Qiao family and the family at stall number six didn't get along. Based on his observations, he also learned that the little girl had probably gone back to her mother's home and was living with her there.
It seems that even Miss Qiao herself couldn't stand that family.
They drank wine and ate peanuts, and after noon, it was afternoon.
The two brothers then took their leave, their faces flushed with a slight intoxication. In the afterglow of the setting sun, their smiles appeared somewhat hazy, unreal yet sincere. They waved to Qiao Lian'er and then boarded the carriage.
The carriage drove away, exited the street, and disappeared from sight.
Qiao Lian'er was a little reluctant to leave. This was the first time she had ever felt like she was making friends since she came into this world.
Although she talked so much with the two of them because she wanted to know more about the capital and the north, she was also very sincere.
"Lian'er, who are they?" Qiao Yunni asked at this moment. Before, Qiao Lian'er was talking to the two people, and the Qiao family did not disturb them.
"Mother, they are the people I met by the bridge yesterday morning."
"So these are the two who lost the bet, walked upside down, and had to pay out twenty taels of silver." Qiao Dameng suddenly realized: "They really do look like rich people, no wonder the bet was so big."
"What Lian'er said to those two young masters is something we, with our clumsy tongues, couldn't possibly make sense of," Qiao Dayong said with a shake of his head and a smile.
They were talking about all sorts of things, including some books, and Lian'er was able to keep up with them all.
This gave them the feeling that Lian'er might have gained supernatural insight.
Never mind, Lian'er can do anything anyway.
The Song family specially selected the best ingredients, which, although not as good as those at stall number eight, were sold at a lower price.
Just selecting ingredients exhausted the whole family, and considering the cost of the stall was ten taels of silver, they didn't know when they would ever earn it back.
Because of the fact that Song Dahua and Song Xiaohua were prevented from returning, Old Mrs. Song and Mrs. Chen kept cursing and swearing, and after a while, they felt dizzy.
But with so many people in the Qiao family and those few children there, they didn't dare go over to confront the Qiao family.
After counting the money again, Old Mrs. Song's eyes rolled back, and she almost fainted.
"No, we can't make money this way. Just the cost of oil, salt, soy sauce, charcoal, and the carriage fare to get here costs one or two hundred coins every day."
After thinking for a moment, Song Laoda came up with an idea: "Mom, let's carry these bags to those small restaurants and sell them. We'll say we're selling ingredients to them at a low price, and they'll definitely buy them."
He saw it firsthand: the owners of those small restaurants looked hesitant and conflicted when they got to stall number eight, because they felt it was too expensive, but they had no choice but to buy it.
