"Then I'll go and tell Dashan right away."
As soon as Uncle Chi left, Sister-in-law Chi also went out.
"Oh dear, I didn't see it for a second, and you've eaten a little cat's apple!" Aunt Chi gently snatched the disfigured apple from Chi Tang's hand.
While wiping her mouth, I said, "You're not allowed to eat anymore. You ate a lot of rice porridge at noon."
"Ahh!"
Chi Tang stretched out her sticky little hands and licked her little tongue, wanting more!
It's pitiful that she, a powerful figure, was pitied by an apple!
No matter how much she pleaded and acted coquettishly, she didn't get the apple.
Aunt Chi was quite strict in this regard.
Chi Tang was so angry that she refused to practice crawling anymore.
"You little brat, are you still sulking with your mother?"
Aunt Chi laughed and patted Chi Tang's sticking-out little bottom.
Seeing my daughter lying there like a frog makes me want to laugh.
"Mother, there's no water left in the well, what should we do?" Sister-in-law Chi rushed in anxiously.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a rather unusual large bucket appeared on the kang with a sudden "thump"!
It looks like water?
Sister-in-law Chi murmured, "Did Tangtang bring out this water?"
"Knock knock knock!!!"
"Knock knock knock!!!"
"Knock knock knock!!!"
Anyway, the food in the kitchen is automatically replenished indefinitely.
Chi Tang kept frantically taking out large buckets of water.
It just seems that taking things out of the space will take a toll on her energy.
"That's enough, that's enough."
Aunt Chi was so frightened that she quickly shouted for them to stop.
Chi Tang also took the opportunity to stop.
The tiny little thing was still lying there like a frog, its little tongue sticking out as it panted heavily.
Ha~ha!
"Pfft, my precious Tangbao! Having you is the greatest blessing of my life!"
Seeing the ten buckets of water piled high on the kang (heated brick bed), Sister-in-law Chi's worries subsided. She hurriedly asked Chi Tang, "Tangtang, isn't it bad for you to bring water home from the gods?"
That's right, they are gods.
In the eyes of the Chi family, all the things Chi Tang took out were gifts from the gods!
It is Heaven's favor upon Chi Tang!
Since neither Zuo Youchitang nor Chi Tang could speak, they simply acquiesced.
Chi Tang obediently shook her head.
No, it won't.
I'm just a little tired, but I'll feel better after a good night's sleep.
She also discovered that as long as she didn't save people, she wouldn't suffer much harm.
Perhaps she disrupted someone's life by saving them, which is why she suffered a backlash.
"That's good, that's good."
Aunt Chi breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, Chi Tang remembered something and took out the vegetables from the refrigerator.
Unfortunately, she didn't have many fresh vegetables in her kitchen.
Five bundles of spinach.
Two packets of baby bok choy.
Three bundles of chives.
There was also a large box of fresh cherries.
I wanted to take more, but I couldn't take any more.
After trying twice and still failing, Chi Tang gave up.
It's estimated that there's an upper limit.
Aunt Chi and her daughter-in-law were overjoyed to see the lush, fresh, and still-cool vegetables on the kang (heated brick bed).
"Wow, vegetables are so valuable at this time of year."
"Is this... a cherry?"
Actually, the Chi family also grows quite a few vegetables in their garden, but even with watering, the vegetables wilt under such a hot sun.
It's barely enough for our own family to eat, but I'm afraid it wouldn't be suitable to sell it elsewhere.
Sister-in-law Chi was stunned: "How much would such big cherries cost?"
Chi Tang looked at the box of cherries, then immediately scrambled over, grabbed the cherries, and tried to open it.
But she was too weak and couldn't open it no matter what she did, and the little thing kept crying in frustration.
"Hey, Mom's giving you one, you can only eat one, understand?"
Aunt Chi opened the box, took out a cherry, and carefully let Chi Tang eat it, afraid that she would swallow the pit along with the cherry.
"Here's what we'll do: later, have Dashan go to town with you. Take these cherries and vegetables and see which wealthy family wants them. Say the cherries were picked from the mountain, and as for the vegetables, say they were grown in their house..."
"Remember, don't let the third son's wife see this."
Sister-in-law Chi nodded: "I understand, Mother. What about the water?"
These ten buckets of water are also a problem.
After thinking for a moment, Aunt Chi fed Chi Tang a cherry and told her to stay put. Then she went down to the ground and, together with Sister-in-law Chi, opened several buckets of water and filled two large water vats.
In the end, there were four buckets of water left.
It wasn't right to leave it at home, so Sister-in-law Chi had Chi Tang take it back.
Chi Dashan and his wife secretly went to town.
They returned in about half an hour, their faces flushed red from the sun and steaming hot.
"How about it?"
"Spinach and chives are 100 coins a bundle, baby bok choy is 30 coins a head, that's 420 coins in total. As for that box of cherries..."
Chi Dashan couldn't help but swallow hard, his heart pounding with excitement.
Aunt Chi also nervously pulled Chi Tang along.
Influenced by the atmosphere, Chi Tang couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
It should fetch a good price, right?
These are genuine Chilean cherries!
This era probably doesn't exist yet!
Scarcity drives up value; it certainly won't be cheap!
"Those big cherries cost thirty coins each! There were fifty-three in that box. We let the manager try one, and then gave him two more cherries for free. The remaining fifty sold for fifteen hundred coins!"
"Including those few bunches of vegetables, we sold a total of 1,920 coins!"
