Zheng Jing was immediately attracted and immediately pulled Yun Qiao and Wang Ru to squeeze in front of the candied haws man: "Come on, I'll treat you to candied haws."
When there are many people, it is very difficult to walk against the flow of people. It took them more than an hour to walk a distance of just a few meters.
The scarf was pushed apart by someone, and someone stepped on the back of the foot several times, leaving a few blurry mud marks.
Zheng Jing casually tugged at her scattered scarf and asked impatiently, "Uncle, how much are the candied haws?"
The old man selling candied haws replied with a smile: "Candied haws are 10 yuan a string."
"One cent a string? That's a bit expensive. Wasn't it three cents a string before?" Zheng Jing has been eating candied haws since she was a child, so she knows the pricing of candied haws very well.
The old man didn't argue and directly admitted: "It's more expensive than before. It's Chinese New Year, so everything's going up in price, and it's not just me. You can go ask around, even the candied haws on this street have gone up in price."
"Okay, okay, let's raise the price." Zheng Jing still couldn't accept it and couldn't help asking, "Then will you give me three strings for ten cents? If not, I'll go ask somewhere else."
"Okay, I'll give you three bunches." The old man was straightforward. After all, hawthorns were picked from the mountains for free. Excluding a little money for the candy, even if he sold three bunches for ten cents, he would still make a profit.
"Which one do you want?"
Zheng Jing immediately pointed to the string of seeds stuck on the top of the gourd stem: "I want that one! The biggest and reddest one!"
"Okay, I'll get it for you." The old man selling candied haws quickly handed the largest and reddest bunch to Zheng Jing and asked, "Girl, which one do you want?"
"Yun Qiao, Ru Ru, which string do you want?" Zheng Jing turned around and asked Yun Qiao and Wang Ru.
Yun Qiao: "I want the flat rice in the middle."
Wang Ru: "I don't want the flat one. Like Jing, I want the big red one up there."
After they finished choosing, the old man selling candied haws took the candied haws they wanted and handed them to them.
Zheng Jing paid for it.
The three of them took the candied haws and walked forward while eating.
Yun Qiao took a bite and found it crispy and crunchy. The crispy and sweet candy shell and the slightly sour hawthorn flavor inside complemented each other, and it was sour and sweet, and the more you chewed, the more fragrant it became.
Yun Qiao ate two flat hawthorns in a row, while Zheng Jing and Wang Ru beside him had sore cheeks from biting them, and they couldn't bite off the first candied hawthorn.
"Oh my god! This candied haws is so frozen that it's hard and I can't even bite it. How can I eat it? I should have chosen the flat one earlier."
Zheng Jing collapsed and shook the candied haws twice, but her hand slipped and the candied haws flew out of her hand.
Zheng Jing watched helplessly as the candied haws were thrown into the snow on the roadside. Her eyes widened in despair: "Ah, my candied haws!"
"Oh my god! I just bought this! I haven't even taken a single bite!!!"
