How do you know they are snake eggs?
Yunfan became even more curious; he had thought it was some kind of dark decoration!
"Third Brother, it says it next to the egg!"
Jiang Nian'an pointed to a small piece of paper next to the snake egg.
Upon closer inspection, Yunfan saw two tiny characters on it: Snake Egg.
Below that was an even smaller line of text: Don't ask me what kind of snake's eggs they are, because I don't know either. In any case, their parents are very powerful.
Yunfan: "......"
"Little Zhanzhan, you have such good eyesight!"
He couldn't help but sigh, then, remembering something, his gaze towards Xiao Longzhan turned to surprise, "Hey? Xiao Zhanzhan, you already know so many characters?"
Xiao Longzhan immediately shook his head, his little face innocent, "I only know the character for snake!"
Actually, he didn't know the character for "snake" before, but he does now.
"Oh, I see~"
Yunfan suddenly realized, but still praised, "That's still amazing!"
Xiao Longzhan chuckled and ran to the stall to inquire about the prices.
The stalls selling bird eggs and snake eggs weren't far apart, and the snake egg vendor had already noticed the situation there.
This time, he didn't dare to be sly and honestly gave a number: "One egg requires five catties of rice, and two eggs require ten catties."
Xiao Longzhan didn't pay immediately. Instead, he followed the example of the survivors buying milk candy next to him and bargained with the shopkeeper.
"Boss, can you make it cheaper?"
"I'm buying this sincerely, so you should sell it sincerely too!"
"If you're not genuinely interested in selling, I'm not interested!"
"Nine catties!"
After a one-sided, childlike outburst, the boss finally agreed.
Xiao Longzhan happily paid the bill, then took out a handful of fruit candies from his pocket and stuffed them into the shopkeeper's hand.
"Thank you, uncle. I'll treat the girl behind you to some candy!"
Hiding behind the snake egg shop owner was a little girl who looked two or three years older than Xiao Longzhan.
She looked at the candy in her father's hand, her big eyes flashing with longing.
The snake egg shop owner was deeply moved; this handful of sugar was worth far more than a pound of rice.
He left two sweet treats for his daughter, and the rest he could exchange for some meat to take back to improve his family's life.
"Thank you so much, little brother!" the snake egg shop owner said repeatedly.
"You're welcome!"
With a domineering wave of his hand, Xiao Longzhan put the snake egg into the net bag, then pulled Jiang Nian'an and Yun Fan away.
Bargaining was a new way of dealing with people he had learned, but giving candy was his way of showing kindness.
