Jiang Wanwan didn't know anything about politeness. She drove the oxcart straight to the city gate, tied the reins firmly to a small tree, and asked Qin Yu, who was on duty guarding the city gate, to help look after it.
Qin Yu was somewhat amused and exasperated by Jiang Wanwan's suggestion. But in the end, he still helped her look after the oxcart; after all, he couldn't resist the temptation and had accepted the young girl's mosquito coils.
As for Uncle Jiang and Jiang Xun, when Jiang Wanwan asked Qin Yu to look after the oxcart, their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. They didn't dare glance at the guards, fearing that the guards might throw the three of them into prison in a fit of anger.
After settling the oxcart, Jiang Wanwan led her second uncle and Jiang Xun back to the city without paying a single penny for the journey.
They found a noodle stall on the street and the three of them quickly solved their hunger problem.
After the meal, the three headed straight for South Street.
The South Street has the strongest local atmosphere, with food stalls lining the street. In addition, villagers from the surrounding area also bring their own vegetables and fruits, or their own chickens, ducks and geese to sell on the South Street.
It can be said that South Street is remarkably similar to a modern farmers' market.
This is a place that ordinary people often visit.
Whenever Jiang Wanwan saw tempting food at the stall, she would buy a portion to share with her second uncle and Jiang Xun. If she found something delicious, she would buy a large portion to take home for Grandma Jiang and the others to try, thus taking the opportunity to win over her family.
When she passed a stall selling large, fat free-range chickens, she was completely captivated.
I've been eating pork a lot these past few days. It's been a long time since I've had any other meat besides pork, and I have to say, I'm really craving it.
If the chickens at home weren't still chicks, she might have already sharpened her knife and chopped off one of their necks.
The street vendors had a keen business sense. Seeing Jiang Wanwan stop in her tracks, they quickly and enthusiastically greeted her. "Little girl, want some chicken? Ask your dad to buy you one, a top-quality free-range chicken."
When the street vendors saw Jiang Wanwan and Uncle Jiang, they assumed that Uncle Jiang was Jiang Wanwan's biological father.
Jiang Wanwan smiled but remained silent, offering no further explanation. Jiang's second uncle, on the other hand, grinned broadly, grinning incessantly.
If Wan Yatou were really my daughter, how wonderful that would be!
Jiang Wanwan glanced at the chicken coop, pointed to two chickens, and asked, "Boss, how much are these two bearded chickens?"
"Twenty coins each!" the vendor said with a professional smile.
"Twenty coins! Boss, that's too expensive, can you make it cheaper?" Jiang Wanwan started bargaining.
"Young lady, twenty coins is not expensive at all."
"Boss, can you make it a little cheaper? How about this, if you can reduce the price by five coins each, I'll buy two. If not, I won't buy them."
After Jiang Wanwan finished speaking, she pulled Jiang Xun away from the chicken stall, with Jiang Erbo following closely behind.
Jiang Xun took rather large steps, and Jiang Wanwan couldn't help but pinch him lightly. "Hey, slow down. Learn from me, when you count to ten, the boss will sell us the chicken cheaply."
"One, two...seven,"
"Hey, fifteen coins it is!" the vendor hurriedly called out to Jiang Wanwan.
Jiang Wanwan was delighted and quickly turned around and walked to the stall.
Uncle Jiang and Jiang Xun looked completely bewildered, as if they had never seen anything like it before.
Jiang Wanwan paid the vendor thirty coins, carried the two chickens to Jiang Xun, threw them into his arms, and said with a smile, "Learn from this."
She walked ahead with light steps, her hands behind her back.
