Bai Ziqian's eyes widened involuntarily, and he took a deep breath, as if he had discovered something extraordinary.
Looking at her nephew's surprised expression, Bai Ling thought that children really shouldn't be raised in the village. Look at the only son of the richest family in Nandu, he's both moved and shocked to see candy now, he doesn't seem like someone who has seen the world at all.
Unlike her, who only smiles when gold and silver jewelry are placed in front of her, she is not proud of bringing glory to her ancestors.
They wouldn't even give this small amount of food a second glance.
The maid continued, "The food boxes over there contain lotus seed candy, dragon beard candy, almond candy, and peanut and sesame candy, five catties of each."
Seeing Bai Ziqian's lack of interest, they guessed that perhaps because the rare candy had been given earlier, these ordinary items were no longer of interest.
She then introduced, "These are pastries: hawthorn cake, jujube paste cake, almond cake, and so on. Oh, and there are also incredibly precious medicinal dishes, which are excellent for nourishing the body."
Bai Ziqian finally perked up when he heard this. He needed a medicinal diet to nourish his body!
My aunt has stayed up for two nights in a row, so she needs to be properly nourished.
His eyes sparkled as he looked at the maid, eagerly asking, "What is it? How should I prepare it?"
The young maid blushed, coughed awkwardly, and whispered, "It's mainly good for the men, to replenish their energy, dispel cold and heat, strengthen their spleen, lungs, and kidneys, and treat kidney deficiency."
Bai Ziqian became more and more confused as he listened, but he thought that it was fine to be good to the man, and there was still Uncle Jin, right?
The women watching had their eyes light up. "Wow, what a wonderful thing this is! It can even replenish kidney deficiency and boost energy!"
The men blushed with embarrassment when they saw the gleam in their wives' eyes.
At the same time, she looked at Bai Ling with reproach, "What kind of person is this? How could they send this to a child?"
"What is it? I'm so anxious!" a woman in the crowd couldn't help but ask.
The maid's face turned even redder, and she stammered, "Yam, this is made from the best dried yam sent by Renjitang. You can't necessarily buy such good quality yam outside."
Bai Ziqian: ...Isn't Renjitang the pharmacy that supplies my aunt's herbal medicine shop?
Onlooker: ...If I remember correctly, one of the medicinal herbs processed at the herbal medicine shop is yam, right?
A woman watching said: "Wow, I didn't know yams were so useful! Shuiqing told them to plant more and buy them at the pharmacy's price before, and now, needless to say, they will plant more!"
It's okay if we can't sell them; we can just use them to feed our own family!
Bai Ling raised her chin and looked around at the crowd, ready to see their shocked expressions. She was indeed surprised, but it seemed to be different from what she wanted to see.
What happened?
They weren't shocked or surprised that pastries made from precious medicinal herbs that cost several hundred coins per kilogram were not made?
The maid then listed out the remaining gifts one by one.
Bai Ziqian understood. These were nothing more than food and daily necessities, which would certainly be valuable to farmers. However, the Bai family was not an ordinary farming family, and his aunt was only giving these things as a show of goodwill.
"Qian'er, you don't like it?" Bai Ling asked, adding, "If you don't like it, I'll get you another one?"
Bai Ziqian shook his head vigorously, "No need, no need! This is fine enough. Thank you for your kindness, Aunt. It would be impolite of me to refuse!"
What a joke! His aunt has come all this way, he's not going to be stupid enough to push the things away. Right now, the village is short of everything, and these candies and pastries are incredibly delicious food for the village kids!
It would be good to use the fabric to make clothes for my younger siblings.
He wants everything, and his motto is to accept anything that comes his way.
Bai Ling's lips slowly curved into a smile.
