Chapter 46 I am almost questioning my life!
"Don't say that!" Mingrui whispered to his sister.
After saying that, he glared at Mingxi warningly before finally letting go of his hand.
Shi Xiaoai breathed a sigh of relief.
She was about to say something when Mingrui had already left his sister and was pulling her sleeve hard.
The child couldn't help but shout in a low voice while pulling, "Mom, Mom, I'm telling you something."
Seeing him so happy, Shi Xiaoai's smile deepened.
She bent down and put her ear close to Octavia.
The little guy came over immediately and said in a soft baby voice, "Mom, we sold a lot of money, so... much!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his arms to the maximum extent.
Seeing his brother like this, Mingxi rolled his eyes without disguising himself, then pushed him away and leaned over to whisper into Shi Xiaoai's ear: "Mom, it sold for twelve yuan! Twelve yuan!"
This number was about what Shi Xiaoai had expected, so she wasn't surprised. However, her daughter's words startled Cheng Yang, who was standing next to her.
"How did you know?" he asked, leaning over in shock.
"I counted them." Mingxi said proudly.
"Did you count?" Cheng Yang almost started to doubt his life.
You know, people were coming and going just now, and everyone was holding boiling hot tea.
He was afraid that the two children would run around in the shed and get into danger, so he led them to the innermost corner and strictly prohibited them from moving.
How did Mingxi count from such a long distance?
Mingxi didn't care what his father thought, and boasted proudly: "I was watching you count the money. I know all the money. I can count it clearly once I count it!"
Besides counting, does she also add up?
You have to know that with so many sold, most people only spent a dime or two at most, and the most the person spent was less than fifty cents.
She can remember so many and even add them together to calculate the total!
Cheng Yang stared at his daughter, unable to remember how old she was. He tried to recall his own childhood, but he couldn't imagine that he had such a talent.
I guess she takes after her mother in this respect.
So, did they give birth to a child prodigy?
Seeing Cheng Yang's expression as if he had seen a ghost, Shi Xiaoai couldn't help but burst out laughing.
She patted the man's shoulder and said jokingly, "See? Don't try to play tricks. I have someone to supervise me!"
Before Cheng Yang could reply, Mingxi had already started nodding vigorously to show her agreement. It was unclear whether she really understood what he meant.
Looking at the identical arrogant expressions of the mother and daughter, Cheng Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Okay, get to work first. We'll talk when we get home." Shi Xiaoai reached out and pressed the two children's heads, signaling them to go back and finish the work. Then, she and Cheng Yang placed the steamed buns and side dishes on the table.
As soon as the food was set up here, a new customer walked in.
The person who came in was a middle-aged woman, probably in her early forties. She was dressed simply, but very decently and neatly, and it was obvious that she came from a well-off family.
Shi Xiaoai smiled at her and called out loudly, "Sister-in-law, do you want some tea or something to eat? It's cold outside. Come sit inside. There's room."
The sister-in-law walked up to the table, looked at the stoves nearby hesitantly, and then asked, "I heard you have white flour cakes here. How much are they? Give me two."
"Sister-in-law, you mean the stone steamed buns? They're sold out and won't be available again until this afternoon. But we've just introduced steamed buns with vegetables. Would you like to buy two and take them home to try?"
Are you buying this for a patient? Take a look at the dishes we have here: scrambled eggs with yellow fungus, shredded potatoes, carrots... Look at these eggs, fresh and big, guaranteed to be nutritious!"
As Shi Xiaoai spoke, she opened the lids of the vegetable bowls one by one, and immediately the fragrant aroma rushed out.
The sour and fragrant shredded potatoes with vinegar, the sweetness of braised carrots in oil, and of course the most eye-catching thing is the golden color on top of the scrambled eggs with yellow flower and wood ear mushrooms.
The others who followed in also tilted their heads to look, and someone exclaimed, "Wow, that's a lot of eggs!"
The sister-in-law also looked happy when she saw the eggs.
She immediately asked, "How much is this vegetable roll? How much is one?"
"One ounce of grain coupons costs 20 cents each."
"I found out everything before I came here. Isn't one grain coupon worth one dime? Why is it so expensive now? Are you deliberately charging a high price because you think I want to buy it?" The sister-in-law immediately expressed her dissatisfaction.
"Original flavor stone buns are 10 cents each, and the milk flavor and scallion oil flavors are both 15 cents each." Shi Xiaoai didn't get angry and explained patiently.
She pointed to a piece of cardboard on the cart and motioned Cheng Yang to take it out and hang it at the door.
Then he continued, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, this price is the same for everyone, I won't cheat you."
Only then did Cheng Yang notice that there was a cardboard tied to a rope in the car. He walked over, took it out and hung it on a small hook next to the tent door.
The cardboard contained a price list that Shi Xiaoai had just written out during her spare time. In addition to the prices of tea and boiled water, it also clearly stated the prices of stone buns, tea eggs, and baked buns with vegetables.
Although this cardboard looks simple when hung up, it does save everyone the effort of verbal battles.
Although the price was different from what the sister-in-law wanted, she couldn't resist the temptation when she saw the golden eggs and several other fried vegetables, and decided to buy them immediately.
She wanted to bargain again, but while they were talking, several people drinking tea inside and the people who followed her in were attracted by the new steamed buns with vegetables.
They all asked Xiao Ai to help them roll a few.
People who can come here to drink tea are basically patients who come to the hospital for treatment or their accompanying family members. Some of them heard about the stone buns and wanted to try them but missed the opportunity and ended up eating tea eggs. Some of them came here to kill time because they had to wait in line for a number to see the doctor for too long.
No matter which one it is, people who can stay here and afford to eat tea eggs don’t mind spending a dime or two. As soon as they see new food being served, they will definitely come over to get a piece of the pie.
Seeing that many people were gathering around, the sister-in-law didn't dare to say much. She looked as if she was afraid that she would not be able to buy it if she was any later, so she paid for two immediately.
Shi Xiaoai helped her roll up the pancake, wrapped it in oil paper, then thanked her politely and asked Mingrui, who came over to help, to see her out the door.
The sister-in-law, who was originally a little awkward, felt much better after being greeted so politely.
When she reached the door, she didn't forget to shout to Mingrui, "Go back, go back, or your little face will get frozen again. Go in quickly, and I'll buy you some candy when your aunt comes again!"
It can be seen that my sister-in-law is extremely satisfied with this greeting.
It was an hour later when Wang Xiaofeng rushed over with a basket of baked steamed buns.
She hurried over, but suddenly stopped when she was almost there.
Standing there with a confused look on his face.
She wondered if she had come to the wrong place?
