Chapter 40 Uncle, Do You Have No Money?

"Yes, yes, yes! That's it! She couldn't eat anything even if I forced her to eat all day, and she has lost a lot of weight. I was planning to take her to the city to see a doctor today, but I didn't expect to meet you here. Big sister, what do you think is the best way to treat her?"

At this moment, the aunt looked at Yin Huaixi as if she were a treasure, with eager eyes.

Yin Huaixi looked up at his young wife, and seeing that she kept looking at the jar from time to time, he did not say anything, but took out a clean bowl and chopsticks and scooped some conch meat for her.

"All medicines are poisonous. It's better not to take them if you can. Let's see if this one suits your taste first."

The aunt accepted it without hesitation. She believed in Yin Huaixi's medical skills and naturally had no doubts about her words.

"Come, Meimei, try it."

“It smells so good…”

The aunt's daughter took the chopsticks and picked up a handful of snail meat and carrot shreds. The sour and spicy taste instantly conquered her.

The snail meat is not fishy at all and is very chewy. It is a bit prickly on the tongue, but it is even more appetizing when paired with the juice. The crispy shredded carrots dipped in the juice are also particularly delicious.

She ate up the small bowl of snail meat in just a few bites, leaving not even any soup.

"Mother, I'm so hungry, I want to eat more..."

"This……"

The aunt took out four cents and handed it over with a painful look.

"Big sister, please give my daughter another bowl."

Yin Huaixi shook her head.

"This is just a side dish. It's useless to eat it alone. It's best to take it home and eat it with porridge. And pregnant women can't eat too much snail meat. This small bowl is enough."

She didn't want to make the man sick, so she took the bowl back and didn't give it to him, and only took two cents for the money.

The young wife was upset. She finally managed to get something to import, but she only tasted it briefly. She felt anxious and her stomach was growling with hunger.

"Doctor, if you don't want to eat snails, can you give me a bowl of this soup? I want to take it back and cook some noodles."

"Of course you can, but you still have to go to the city. Would it be convenient to carry it with you all the way? Why don't you pick it up at my house when you get back? I see that the place where you board the ship is in the village next to ours, not far away."

"Okay, okay! Thank you so much, big sister!"

After the two exchanged names, the fishing boat docked. The aunt enthusiastically helped Yin Huaixi find a spot to set up the stall next to a fellow villager.

There were many people at the wharf, including merchants of all sizes, workers loading and unloading goods, and a large number of fishermen from the surrounding villages. There were many people doing business, most of whom were selling tea and snacks, and some villagers set up fish stalls.

Jiang Wan and his two companions had no experience, so they wouldn't be able to find a good spot to sell their goods at the dock at this hour. Fortunately, the old lady persuaded them to squeeze out a spot next to a fellow villager.

Yin Huaixi put the jar out for the two girls to watch, and went to take a look at several food stalls nearby. Then he came back with a bowl and scooped up half a bowl of snail meat and took it away.

Yin Ning didn't understand what was going on, so he pulled his little cousin's sleeve and asked her if she knew what was going on.

"Mother, you want to sell all the snail meat directly at the stall. This is our first time doing business and we are not well prepared, and the space is small. If customers don't have anything to put the snail meat in, we can't ask customers to finish eating in front of our stall and then return the bowls with the bowls in our basket."

This was something she and her mother really hadn't thought of enough.

In the past, she and her mother had never done business. At that time, her mother was devoted to medicine, and she stayed at home editing videos or doing live broadcasts. She and her mother were both new to business.

I must do my homework better next time.

Jiang Wan carefully looked around the pier. The flow of people here was really large and mixed. In just a short while, three carriages and a large group of people passed by on the main road in front of them. She noticed that four or five men looked back and forth at her and her cousin several times.

I don't know if he is a bad guy, but he gives people a bad feeling anyway. Fortunately, the aunt on the boat is from the same village as a man, so I feel a little safe with him around.

She had just thought this when she saw one of the men with pockmarked faces walking towards her and her cousin not far away.

"Old Qiao, is this your relative?"

Jiang Wan was stunned. She didn't expect that this man actually knew the owner of the stall next door.

"No, no, it was brought here by someone from my village. He asked me to take care of it."

"Hahahaha... Just you? What can you take care of? Ladies, if you need someone to take care of you, just look for me. Just tell me what you are selling, and I will buy it all for you."

Jiang Wan: “…”

Shameless man.

"Uncle, what we sell is small conches in juice, which are delicious and appetizing. If you buy all of them, I can give you a discount. Two cans together cost one or two silver coins."

When the pockmarked man heard Jiang Wan's words, his smile froze on his face.

This girl actually called him uncle? ! !

Is he old?!

What's more! What kind of rubbish is in this jar that he wants to sell for one or two taels of silver? This girl must be trying to rip him off!

"Don't be ridiculous, young lady. Look at this whole dock. Who sells things as expensive as yours?"

The pockmarked man put away his smile and looked between the two sisters with a critical look.

Tsk, what a fool! He wouldn't be in the mood to come and have fun if it were any other time. If it wasn't for the rare opportunity to see a young new face who was somewhat interesting, he wouldn't have come.

"You ladies probably haven't eaten yet at this hour, would you like to come with me to the front to eat something delicious? There's a very good steamed meat restaurant in front. After you finish eating, I can help you find a better stall, and I guarantee you'll sell out quickly."

"Eh? Uncle, didn't you say you wanted to buy them all? How can you afford steamed meat when you don't even have a penny?"

Jiang Wan asked seriously like an innocent child. Yin Ning, who was holding her, was afraid but couldn't help wanting to laugh. It was so uncomfortable to hold it back.

The man with the pockmarked face was even more upset than her. His brothers were watching him not far away. It was really embarrassing. They must be making fun of him for not being able to handle a little girl.

The pockmarked man gritted his teeth and was about to say something else when he suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder.

"Qian Hai, your old problem has come back again, right? You even dare to harass our family members."

Hearing the voice, Qian Hai shuddered with fear and immediately shook off the hand on his shoulder.

"Are they your family members?!"

Jiang Wan and Yin Ning's eyes lit up.

"Brother Lian Yue!"

"Brother Lian Yue!"

Lian Yue responded, left his brother Lian Qiao in front of the stall and went away with the man named Qian Hai.

"Don't be afraid. Qian Hai is a thug from the next village. He was dealt with by Brother Yue before. He doesn't dare to cause trouble to people in our village."

Jiang Wan felt relieved after hearing this. She was really a little scared just now. After all, her mother was not around and she was still too young. Even with her cousin, she was no match for a grown man in terms of fighting power.

It's really time for Lian Yue to come.

"Thank you and Brother Lian Yue, this is for you~"

Jiang Wan scooped out some spicy snail meat for Lian Qiao, but Lian Qiao quickly refused. He came here to stand guard and wait for Brother Yue, so how could he eat what others were selling?

He will never eat it.

After a cup of tea...

Damn, this thing is really to his taste, and he took out two cents with tears in his eyes.

“Another bowl please!”
