Barbecue powder?
Juanjuan lowered her head slightly, deep in thought; it was yet another one she couldn't understand.
But I can't ask.
The moment she opened her mouth to ask, her little secret about being able to hear strange sounds was exposed.
"Juanjuan! Ermao!"
Father's voice came from the side.
Juanjuan looked over upon hearing the sound.
I saw that my father was dressed neatly and cleanly, revealing his handsome face, and he was full of energy.
His legs are still a bit unsteady; you can tell he walks with a slight limp.
Bai Tian walked over and casually ruffled his little girl's hair.
[I have to say, the little girl is actually quite pretty, but she's a bit thin because she's not nutritious. Especially her innocent, slightly droopy puppy eyes—they're incredibly cute!]
So cute!
Juanjuan's eyes lit up slightly: Daddy was praising her!
Bai Tian: [I must make money to raise my little daughter to be beautiful and radiant!]
"Dad is going out for a bit. Don't wander around the house."
Juanjuan nodded obediently: "Okay."
The third son, Yun'an, casually asked, "Dad, where are you going? You're not going to drink and gamble again, are you?"
[You know, alcoholics and gamblers are already extremely unreliable, let alone this father of yours, who's involved in both.]
Juanjuan also looked at her father, waiting for his answer.
Bai Tian looked at the two wary children, feeling utterly exhausted. While inwardly cursing the original owner of this body as a bastard, he explained to the children:
"Dad, go see if there's an oxcart going to town tomorrow. We need to buy some rice and flour for the family, otherwise we can keep eating wild vegetable pancakes!"
"You're still growing, so you need to eat well!"
What Bai Tian didn't expect was...
As soon as he finished speaking, his little girl grabbed his sleeve in a flustered manner.
"Are we going to town again?!"
It's not that Juanjuan is sensitive; it's just that her parents and brothers went to town yesterday morning.
Before they even reached town, the oxcart overturned.
My parents and brothers are still injured, so why do we have to go to town again?
just in case……
Bai Tian probably knew what his little girl was worried about.
He smiled and patted the little guy's head lightly, like bouncing a small ball: "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Hearing that her father was going to town, Yun'an, who was standing to the side, felt a slight stirring in her heart.
I'm going to town, and I can bring back some things from my spatial dimension while I'm at it.
If you're lucky, you might even be able to sell the barbecue seasoning and make some money.
After all, barbecue seasoning can't be eaten as a staple food. For those who have meat, it's a rare delicacy, but for the Bai family now, without meat, it's just a waste. Are they really going to eat flatbread dipped in barbecue seasoning?
"Dad, if I could go, I would like to go too."
Bai Tian glanced at his son and politely declined, saying, "Er Mao, your injury hasn't healed yet. You should rest at home."
Yun An (Er Mao): "I'm fine, I can go to town."
Bai Tian: "No, you need to recover from your injury."
Yun An (Er Mao): "I'm fine!"
Then, the father and son stared at each other blankly.
Bai Tian decisively spoke up, choosing to tell the truth.
"The problem is, if you go to town, you have to take an oxcart, and a round trip costs eight copper coins!"
Yun An remained silent: ...
So it wasn't that they cared about him at all, but rather about the eight coins it would cost to ride the oxcart back and forth!
Suddenly I felt mentally exhausted.
Bai Tian's eyes darted around, indicating a hint of guilt.
The main problem is that we really don't have many coins left at home.
The last time I took my sons out was because I wanted to sell the eldest son to become an apprentice in town, so the whole family went. Who would have thought that the oxcart would overturn?
This trip to town is to buy some rice and flour, and to see if there are any business opportunities to make money. It's not a trip for fun.
These are all important matters, not a trip to play.
Why bring along Er Mao, who has a limp and is spitting blood!
"Actually, it's not that I'm worried about the money, it's that you're injured and the journey to town is tiring, and I feel sorry for you!"
Seeing that his third son was not easily fooled, Bai Tian clicked his tongue to ease the awkwardness and started to run away.
"Then Dad will go out and ask first. Juanjuan, you stay home and look after your brothers!"
Juanjuan watched her father leave, then looked at her third brother, who was in a bad mood, and said cautiously, "I...I'll go see my second brother."
Roll away.
In the dilapidated courtyard of the Bai family, only Yun An remained.
Oh, and there are three hens too.
One of them wandered over to his feet and, under his watchful eye, pooped a fresh, hot pile of chicken droppings.
Yun An: "Get out!"
...
Niantao Village, in the fields.
Aunt Wu looked at the young and beautiful young woman.
I really can't understand why that young woman could pick a weed and throw it into her basket when there were clearly wild vegetables right next to her.
She moved swiftly and confidently, as if she were picking wild vegetables.
“Dog Egg’s mother, what you’re picking is weeds, these are the edible wild vegetables.”
Jiang Dai, carefully selecting wild vegetables: ...
That was incredibly embarrassing.
"Really? Thank you, Auntie."
Jiang Dai smiled slightly and humbly asked, "Auntie, have you ever seen a kind of grass in our village with particularly large roots, like a big rock?"
"I've never seen this before."
Aunt Wu shook her head, then asked curiously, "Is your Er Mao alright? He was spitting blood. If you ask me, that girl Huani is too fierce."
Jiang Dai smiled gently: "It's alright now."
While helping to gather wild vegetables, Aunt Wu chatted with Jiang Dai, gathering information from the intelligence network—in short, gossiping.
Jiang Dai, through Aunt Wu's words, was beginning to develop a new understanding of the village.
After chatting for a while, Jiang Dai turned around and realized that her eldest son, Gou Dan'er, was gone!
"Aunt Wu, have you seen my dog, Gou Dan?" Jiang Dai asked anxiously.
Aunt Wu: "Hey! Wasn't it just over there a moment ago!"
Seeing that Jiang Dai was already anxious, Aunt Wu quickly comforted her: "Don't worry, let's look for him together. Gou Dan'er is such a big child, how could he get lost!"
The children in the village aren't so refined; they're all free-range and running around outside.
Aunt Wu didn't feel there was any need to rush.
Meanwhile, Gou Dan ran alone into a large, ravine-like pit.
There, there are fluctuations of spiritual energy.
He was very weak, but he wasn't mistaken!
An eight-year-old child, so innocent and lively, rushed into the rumored haunted mass grave.
Then he knelt in front of a small mound of earth, bent over, and started digging.
Not long after, he unearthed a hard object, a large piece of chalcedony.
If you exchange it for silver, you can get a hundred taels.
