I'll just buy one for the foreman.
"Alright, everyone, don't rush, take your time, everyone wait a bit." Bai Dalin was wandering aimlessly in the town when he happened to come across the entrance of San Niang Cloth Shop. He saw a crowd gathered around and decided to join in the fun. But when he got there, he realized it was Bai Nuo!
"Bai Nuo?" Bai Dalin looked at Bai Nuo in disbelief. There was a table in front of Bai Nuo, and on the table was a basket with half a basket of pancakes on it.
Has Bai Nuo really started a business?
Bai Dalin was very surprised.
But what surprised him most was that Bai Nuo's business was booming. Many people were crowding around Bai Nuo wanting the pancake, and as soon as he arrived, he saw people slipping money to Bai Nuo; five copper coins were all it took to get a pancake.
"..." When Bai Nuo heard someone calling her, she looked up and saw Bai Dalin, but she didn't have time to pay attention to him and was called away by the guest's voice.
Seeing Bai Nuo's business so good, and with a happy smile on her face, and a cloth bag hanging on her body that was clearly half full of copper coins, Bai Dalin was immediately filled with rage.
He's exhausted from searching for the beads, all because she wouldn't give them to him, but that little bitch has made so much money and is so happy.
"Bai Nuo!" Bai Dalin stared at Bai Nuo with a sinister look, then beckoned to him, "Come out, I have something to tell you."
"Has Bai Dalin gone mad?" Bai Nuo glanced at Bai Dalin speechlessly. They were practically enemies, weren't they? What was Bai Dalin thinking? Did he really think she'd even acknowledge him?
But judging from Bai Dalin's expression, Bai Nuo had a feeling that Bai Dalin was here to cause trouble. She sneered and said with a hidden warning, "If you dare to smash my stall, I'll tell everyone about you! I'll tell everyone that you're interested but unwilling to make it happen!"
Bai Dalin actually understood that Bai Nuo was threatening him, threatening that he had the pearl but refused to give it up, and that he would have to tell the county magistrate!
Good, very good! This is the good daughter he raised!
But Bai Dalin was genuinely afraid of Bai Nuo saying that. Seeing that the other customers were also looking at him, Bai Dalin hesitated for a long time before finally managing to say, "I meant to say that you should give me one of your pancakes too!"
Bai Nuo was laughing so hard she almost died.
"I can give it to you, but it's five coins each. Cash on delivery. Pay if you want to eat it." Bai Nuo coughed lightly, trying really hard to hold back her laughter.
Everyone around was staring at Bai Dalin. Bai Dalin felt embarrassed, his face burning. He patted his clothes up and down, but couldn't find a single coin! However, he did pull out a fifty-tael silver note.
When Bai Nuo saw the fifty taels of silver, he immediately burst out laughing. "Forget it, I don't have change here, and I don't want to sell it to you. Go to the side and don't get in my way, or I'll call for help."
Bai Dalin felt like he had been tricked by Bai Nuo and wanted to get angry, but considering there were so many people around, he could only suppress his anger and complain, "No, how can you be like this?"
Before Bai Nuo could speak, the customers around him couldn't stand Bai Dalin anymore and started criticizing him, "You're criticizing other girls, but I want to ask you what you want? Are you here to cause trouble? You know perfectly well that you can buy something here for only five coins, but you insist on taking out fifty taels of silver. How are you expecting the girls to give you change? Are you doing this on purpose? Are you showing off your wealth? Are you going to buy it or not? If not, get out of here!"
Bai Dalin's words were drowned out by the crowd. Before he could refute them, he was pulled away by the surrounding guests. Not only did they pull Bai Dalin away, but they also told Bai Nuo, "Don't be afraid, girl. Don't be afraid that he will cause you trouble. We're here to support you."
"Thank you everyone!" Bai Nuo said with a smile. "To repay you all, I will definitely make even better food in the future. Which uncle wanted a pancake just now?"
Bai Nuo's place was bustling with activity. Taking a break from her busy schedule, she didn't forget to keep an eye on Bai Dalin, only to see him disappear into a brothel not far away. She couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.
Good heavens! She always thought Bai Dalin and Chen Qiuling were truly in love, but now it seems that's not the case at all. Bai Dalin actually drinks at brothels!
Oh my god, what would happen if Chen Qiuling found out? Wouldn't it cause discord in the family?
By the time all the pancakes were sold, it was already late afternoon. Seeing that it was getting late, Bai Nuo quickly tidied up the table, put it back in San Niang's cloth shop, greeted Jiang San Niang and Jiang Qiao'er who had already returned, and then took the basket and went straight to the vegetable stall, bought some vegetables and meat, and headed home.
When they returned to the sugarcane field, it was already past mid-afternoon. As they entered the village, they ran into Bai Yu and Boss Bai.
"Ah Yu?"
"Uncle?"
Bai Nuo looked at the two of them strangely. How did these two end up together?
"Bai Nuo, you're here just in time!" Upon seeing Bai Nuo, Boss Bai released Bai Yu's hand and handed Bai Yu to Bai Nuo, saying, "I'm entrusting your younger brother to you now."
The words were strange, and Bai Nuo was very confused. "Uncle, what's wrong? I don't understand what you're saying. Did my brother get into trouble? I'm sorry, I'll definitely teach him a lesson when I get back."
"No, no!" Bai Laoda quickly waved his hand. "Bai Yu didn't cause any trouble. It's just that when you two go somewhere, the two siblings want to go together."
Although Bai Nuo couldn't understand what Boss Bai was saying,
