Of course, you can also barter. In short, as long as both parties reach a sense of cooperation, it will be fine.
This day of every month is exceptionally lively, with crowds of people gathering in front of the various grocery stalls, fish, meat, and snack stalls.
In Ling Yuan's eyes, this scene was full of excitement and curiosity about new things.
But when he saw the crowds of people ahead, the old man frowned, and it was obvious that he didn't want to go over at all.
Ling Yuan certainly didn't expect these grown men to squeeze with her, so she immediately stretched out her hand to Qing Chen and said unceremoniously: "Give me money!"
She was carried out of the house by Uncle Wei. Not to mention money, she didn't even have any clothes to change into. Naturally, she had to ask them for money for food.
Qingchen continued to look at his seventh brother, obviously wanting to seek his opinion.
Ling Yuan was not annoyed by this and waited patiently.
Wei Jie seemed to ignore his younger brother's pleading look and looked directly at Ling Yuan: "You want to eat here?"
Ling Yuan nodded: "Of course, I'll eat here. I didn't prepare anything when I came here. You have to let me buy some daily necessities, right?"
Wei Jie glanced at her and said, "Your maid has packed a few bags for you."
This is telling her clearly that she didn't bring anything with her.
Ling Yuan's clear eyes like glass suddenly looked at Wei Jie: "When did this happen? Why don't I know about it?"
"All you have to do is follow me." You don't need to worry about the rest.
Ling Yuan felt annoyed. It was really unpleasant to feel like she was being controlled by someone else. But she couldn't do anything about this man.
He immediately glared at Wei Jie, grabbed the purse from Qingchen's waist, and left without looking back.
"Master, the lady is angry."
Qingchen fearlessly reminded someone and touched his waist very reluctantly. Really, why did so many people take his purse?
That's his private money.
Wei Jie glanced at them indifferently and said, "Go back to the restaurant."
"Master, the personnel here are complicated, we still,"
When Qingchen saw that Wei Jie seemed to be following Ling Yuan, he became anxious and wanted to follow him.
However, they were silently stopped by a look from the other party. Helplessly, the few people who were already extremely hungry could only walk towards the restaurant.
It’s not that they dislike these street stalls. People like them, the Mingwei who live on the edge of a knife, often have to sleep in the open air and even eat mice when they are hungry. How could they dislike those hot foods?
But now that conditions permit, they naturally have to eat food that can satisfy their hunger. Food like those outside cannot satisfy their appetite for meat at all.
However, their grandfather's actions still surprised them.
They felt more and more that their master's attitude towards his wife was becoming more and more unpredictable.
As soon as Ling Yuan left someone's sight, she immediately ran towards the most lively place like a happy rabbit. As she walked, she looked at this and touched that, her eyes full of excitement and satisfaction.
Since she came here, she has really had no time to go shopping. Now that she has such a rare opportunity, she certainly can't miss it.
With a candied haws in his left hand and a meat bun in his right hand, Ling Yuan looked very satisfied while eating.
Wei Jie, who was following behind her, looked at the smile on her face in surprise. Since he knew her, he had never seen her smile so naturally and innocently, full of the happiness and innocence that a girl should have.
It turns out that she can also release her smile without any pressure like this.
A string of candied haws for one cent and a meat bun for two cents, only three cents, brought her unprecedented satisfaction.
It seems that this girl is easier to support than he thought!
Seeing her mouth full of oil and her eyes closed with a look of enjoyment, as if she was eating delicacies from land and sea, Wei Jie licked his lips and suddenly wondered, is it really that delicious?
Thinking of this, he subconsciously turned his gaze towards the steamer that was emitting steam and a strong aroma of food.
The scene changed, and when someone reappeared, he was holding a paper bag with two or three meat buns in it. He took a bite and his mouth was full of oil. It was hot and greasy, and he was eating with great enjoyment.
As for the sour and sweet thing, he really had no interest in tasting it.
However, the taste of the buns was better than he had imagined. It was rare to find such delicious food in a place like this. No wonder the girl enjoyed it so much.
Because there were too many people, Wei Jie had to quicken his pace to catch up. Unexpectedly, he just went over to buy a bun, but the girl had a few more things in her hands.
Hot roasted sweet potatoes, fragrant melon seeds and peanuts, steaming rabbit meat with scallions, date cakes, spring rolls, pastries, steamed cakes, cooked cakes and many more, all these snacks dazzled him.
This child was quite smart. He got a cloth bag from somewhere and put all the things in it.
Then she carried a small cloth bag and looked around. Girls' hairpins, bracelets, rouge and powder, and beautiful fabrics only received her lukewarm glance. On the contrary, the food stimulated her desire to buy. Her eyes seemed to be shining and she put big and small bags into the bag.
When people are tired from shopping, they don’t go to the tea stall but walk to the wonton stall instead, order a bowl of steaming hot wontons, and eat with a satisfied look on their faces.
After eating the wontons, he ran to the noodle stall and ordered a small bowl of plain noodles. Wei Jie couldn't help swallowing his saliva when he saw this.
Just as Ling Yuan was slurping her food, a shadow suddenly blocked her light. She looked up and was stunned...
She sucked the noodles into her mouth with a slurp, put the bowl down, picked up the cloth bag on the seat next to her, and held it tightly: "Why are you here?"
"Delicious?" Wei Jie reached out and wiped the residue on her lips. When the other party froze for a moment, he turned his eyes and stared curiously at the bowl she placed on the table.
Ling Yuan's face felt hot. Oh my God, he actually wiped her food. It was so, so embarrassing.
Ling Yuan was startled when she heard his voice out of the blue. She followed his gaze and nodded subconsciously, "It's light and delicious. Would you like one?"
Wei Jie curled his lips, and Ling Yuan immediately understood what he meant. He immediately said to the two old men who were busy not far away: "Uncle, another big bowl of Yangchun noodles."
"You bought so many things?"
Ling Yuan pushed the bag in her hand towards him: "Do you want to eat? There are a lot of things in it. I was thinking that I would be bored on the road, so I planned to buy some food to kill time."
Ling Yuan likes to eat snacks when she is bored. There happen to be a lot of good things in this town. Eating this and that can best satisfy her appetite.
Wei Jie opened it and glanced at her. "No wonder you can't lose weight. Can you finish this much?"
Ling Yuan rolled her eyes at him, "I'm still fat even if I don't eat. Since I can't lose weight, why should I be so hard on myself? Being able to eat is a blessing. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense! Also, don't you guys eat? Really, I take your kindness for granted. If you have the guts, don't come to me when you're hungry!"
Wei Jie finally came to his senses, "Do you want to keep on traveling?"
Ling Yuan held her wrist and drank a big mouthful of soup, then glared at him, "You guys were so anxious to carry me out, wasn't it just to save people?"
Wei Jie glanced at her and pursed his lips, "We are going to Yan State."
"The Yangchun noodles are here. Come on, please move aside, sir, or you'll get burned."
Ling Yuan had already finished her meal, and hurriedly gave the old man the money for two bowls of plain noodles, saying generously, "Uncle, you don't need to give me the change for the rest."
"Oh, girl, how can this be so embarrassing? This, this is too much, no, no."
Ling Yuan hurriedly said, "Is it easy for you to remember me like this? Then next time I come, you don't have to charge me. Is that ok?"
The old man said with gratitude: "Okay, okay, thank you, little girl. We will be here on the 5th, 15th and 25th of every month. If you are hungry then, you must come!"
"Of course you should, haha. Go get busy, old man!"
After seeing the old man off, she saw Wei Jie still looking at her and immediately frowned: "Why are you still standing there? Eat quickly!"
When Wei Jie went out on weekdays, he would wear a golden mask on his right cheek that just covered his scar, and today was no exception.
Therefore, his stunning profile was fully revealed, although he himself might not have noticed it along the way.
But Ling Yuan clearly felt that many strange and cautious eyes were looking at them. Especially such a handsome man, appearing at such a roadside stall, with such an ugly woman like her sitting next to him. Wouldn't that cause people to talk about it?
Most of the people here are ordinary people. Although no one said anything particularly vicious, Ling Yuan still felt uncomfortable being stared at like a giant panda, and couldn't help but urge someone to eat faster.
