The waiter was frightened by the crowd at first, but when he heard everyone report how much food they needed, he instantly realized that this was a big business. The fear in his heart immediately disappeared, and was replaced by full excitement.
He quickly turned around and shouted into the grain shop: "Shopkeeper, come out quickly, someone wants to buy grain!"
The eagerness and joy in his voice were hard to conceal.
When the owner of the grain shop heard the waiter's call, he was stunned at first, then he put down the abacus in his hand, hurriedly tidied his clothes, and walked out of the counter quickly.
As soon as I came out, I saw a group of people surrounding the waiter at the door of the store, chattering non-stop. The scene was very lively.
When he heard carefully that each of these people wanted several hundred kilograms of food, a shrewd light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
He quickly shouted, "Xiao He, quickly serve the customers food! Be quick and don't keep them waiting!"
As he spoke, he walked towards the crowd with a smile on his face, his eyes full of anticipation and enthusiasm for this big deal, and he had already started calculating how much profit he could make from this deal.
The waiter responded crisply, "Okay!", his voice revealing enthusiasm and efficiency.
Then he quickly bent down, skillfully picked up the neatly stacked sacks on the side, and began to pack food for everyone one by one.
I saw that he was skilled and his movements were smooth. He would first stretch out the sack, then use a wooden shovel to scoop up coarse grains or white rice and flour, and pour them into the bag accurately. Every time a bag was full, he would quickly tie the bag tightly with a rope and put it aside.
Yao Qingshuang felt a little relieved when she saw that her two sons were able to smoothly handle the grain purchase matters at the grain shop.
After a brief thought, she softly said to Su Wenjun and Su Wencheng, "You two buy food here. I'll go to the county and buy some things."
In fact, she just wanted to find a clear way to move the supplies in the space.
After saying that, she carried her basket and slowly blended into the crowd.
When she returned to the grain store with a full basket on her back, everyone had already bought the grain. Bags of grain were piled up in front of the store like small hills.
Everyone's faces were filled with satisfaction and peace of mind as they prepared to set off back to the camp.
Yao Qingshuang stood in the crowd, her eyes slowly sweeping over them, and asked softly, "Is there anything else you want to buy? If not, we'll have to leave the city."
After hearing this, everyone shook their heads, indicating that they had nothing else to buy.
Seeing that everyone was sure not to buy anything, they all bent down and picked up the heavy bags of grain.
Su Wenjun and Su Wencheng each carried two bags, with the muscles in their arms tense, showing their full strength.
They walked towards the city gate with steady steps.
At the city gate, those family members who stayed behind to wait were already looking forward to it.
The children were at the front, their eyes fixed on the direction of the city gate. When they saw the crowd appear, they shouted excitedly: "They're coming out! They're coming out!"
Afterwards, the adults also came forward with joy.
When everyone saw that they had carried back so much food, they were stunned at first, and then after hearing the price of the food, they couldn't stop laughing.
Fourth Grandpa said excitedly: "With such a low price, if I don't buy more, I will be sorry to God!"
Everyone nodded in agreement, and the place was filled with laughter.
When everyone returned to the camp, Yao Qingshuang gently placed the backpack on the ground, and then slowly took out the supplies that had been prepared long ago.
She first took out a few bright red apples, which were round and plump, and shone with an attractive luster under the sunlight; then she took out a large bag of colorful candies, and the candy wrappers rustled in the breeze, as if telling of the sweet temptation; a few packages of exquisite pastries exuded a rich sweet aroma, making people salivate; there were also two roast chickens emitting bursts of fragrance, and the fragrance quickly spread in the air like invisible silk threads; a few pieces of bacon were deep in color, with clear texture and an attractive oily luster; a few sausages were of uniform thickness, and the casings were tight, as if they would burst in the next second.
The children in the family had a keen sense of smell and were instantly attracted by the fragrance. They quickly gathered around like a group of happy little birds.
Their eyes were wide open, staring at the candies, snacks and apples without blinking, their little mouths unconsciously opened slightly, and saliva flooded in their mouths.
Yao Qingshuang couldn't help laughing when she saw the greedy looks on the children's faces.
She grabbed a handful of candy, held it out to the children, and said, "Come on, children, give each of you two."
The children excitedly stretched out their hands, took the candies, couldn't wait to peel off the candy wrappers, put the candies in their mouths, and instantly had satisfied smiles on their faces.
Afterwards, Yao Qingshuang handed another bag of snacks to Zhou Xiaowen and said softly, "Xiaowen, share some with everyone."
Zhou Xiaowen nodded obediently and carefully distributed the snacks to each child.
Finally, she handed the apple to Li Zhaodi and instructed, "Second daughter-in-law, cut the apple and let everyone taste it."
Li Zhaodi took the apple, turned and walked to the chopping board beside her, picked up a knife and cut the apple into small pieces evenly.
Everyone looked at Li Zhaodi with anticipation, only to see her slowly walking towards them, holding the cut apples steadily in her hands.
Each piece of the apple that was cut into pieces exuded a fresh and pleasant fragrance. The fragrance seemed to have magical power and instantly filled the entire camp.
Su Mingfan's eyes suddenly lit up, and his gaze was fixed on the plate of apples.
He first leaned closer to the plate and took a deep breath. The fragrance went straight into his heart through his nostrils, making him intoxicated, his face full of enjoyment.
Seeing him like this, Li Zhaodi gave the first piece of apple to Yao Qingshuang, and then gave the second piece to him.
He carefully took the apple, brought it close to his nose, and sniffed the pleasant smell.
Then he slowly and reverently put the apple into his mouth and took a light bite.
With a single "crack," the apple juice instantly burst in his mouth. The sweet taste flowed through every corner of his taste buds like a mountain spring. Su Mingfan's eyes instantly widened like bells, their whites gleaming with surprise. His eyebrows raised high, and he pursed his lips slightly, as if afraid the juice would spill out. Then, his mouth opened uncontrollably to the sides, revealing a row of white teeth. His cheeks puffed out as he smiled with satisfaction.
He couldn't help but shouted: "Wow, this fruit is so delicious!"
When the other children heard Su Mingfan's call, they also picked up the apples and started eating.
Some children's eyes narrowed into slits, as if their souls were struck by the sweetness, their faces flushed with happiness; some children stuffed their mouths full, their cheeks puffed up like little hamsters, and while chewing hard, they mumbled incoherently, "It's so delicious!"
