Sun Weiguo was so happy that his eyebrows were not visible. He grinned and kept grinning, "Well, although I didn't make any money, I got a lot of things in exchange, including milk lumps, about a pound of wild mushrooms, and two ounces of dried meat..."
Chu Tian raised his eyebrows, "Not bad, let's not talk about anything else, just that milk lump, you must leave some for your wife, it's good for her and the baby in her belly!"
"Yeah, I know."
Sun Weiguo knew what Chu Tian meant. He said that pregnant women need to supplement nutrition during pregnancy. Meat is necessary, and milk is also very important. So when his wife was more than two months pregnant and always had no appetite and couldn't eat, Yao Xiujuan gave the remaining half bag of her maternity milk powder to Li Meiling, asking her to drink two spoonfuls every night. After she finished drinking it, he paid Chu Tian to buy another bag for his wife...
After walking around for a long time, Old Mrs. Chu was so tired that she sat down on a big rock placed by someone under the shade of a tree. Seeing Li Meiling still standing aside with her hand on her waist, she waved to her and found a spacious space next to her.
"Meiling girl, you are pregnant, come and sit for a while..."
"And Xiujuan, come sit for a while..."
"Thank you, Grandma Chu."
Li Meiling was really tired. When she heard Old Lady Chu calling her, she walked over with a smile and sat down confidently.
Yao Xiujuan put the sleeping Pingping down in the carriage and smiled and refused, "Grandma, I won't sit here. I see there are wooden bowls made by themselves on the stall next to me. I'll go take a look..."
Since Xinxin started eating alone, she broke several of her porcelain bowls, so she decided to buy some wooden bowls...
Old Mrs. Chu knew that Xinxin had broken several bowls, so when she heard Yao Xiujuan say this, she didn't say anything else, but looked at Daya and the others.
"Daya, please keep an eye on your younger brother and sister. Don't let them run around."
Daya nodded quickly when she heard this, "Grandma, I understand."
Chu Tian looked around and asked, "By the way, are my second brother, brother Jie, and Lifang back yet?"
Sun Weiguo scratched his head. "Brother Jie came back a while ago, but when he saw that none of you had come back, he left again. As for Brother Min, Sister Lifang, and my cousin..."
Chu Tian nodded in understanding. "Are you still strolling?" It wasn't easy to come out, so a little strolling wouldn't hurt. He immediately accompanied Sun Weiguo to deal with the remaining straw mats.
Yao Xiujuan quickly bought several wooden bowls and small wooden spoons from the stall next door. "Brother Tian, look at this bowl, it's so well made, there are different sizes..."
Chu Tian took a look at the handmade bowl and spoon and praised them highly. "Not bad, I'll give them to Xinxin and Pingping in the future..."
Yao Xiujuan pursed her lips and smiled, "That's what I think..."
Sun Weiguo sold the last ten straw mats at the price of ten for ten cents. He had just picked up the sheet on the ground and was shaking off the dust when he found Chu Jie coming back with a sack on his back.
Seeing this, Chu Tian hurried forward to help. When he helped take the sack off Chu Jie's back, he was surprised, "Brother Jie, what did you buy? Why is it so heavy?"
Chu Jie grinned, his good mood obvious. "I bought a lot of beef bones at a low price, and nearly 20 kilograms of camel meat..."
Chu Tian's eyes widened in surprise. "Forget about beef bones, but camel meat? Where did you buy it from? I haven't seen anyone selling camel meat!"
His original self had never eaten or seen it, but when he was Chu Tian, he had eaten roasted camel once before he traveled through time. Just that one time, he still remembers it vividly, because the roasted camel, which was smeared with turmeric powder and sprinkled with natural chili powder, tasted really good, and the meat was as tender as lamb...
Chu Jie said in a good mood, "I'm lucky, right? I passed by a corner where cattle and sheep were slaughtered twice. The first two times, there were too many people and I didn't buy anything. When I passed by it the third time, everyone had already left. Just when I was about to turn around and leave, a father and son carrying sacks happened to come over and set up a stall..."
After hearing the whole process, Chu Tian couldn't help but sigh at Chu Jie's good luck. He patted Chu Jie's shoulder in admiration and said, "Brother Jie, you are so amazing..."
"Take these 20 kilograms of camel meat back and ask your aunt to make it into jerky. It will last you a long time."
Chu Jie took the sack and put it on the carriage. He turned around and looked at the people present. Noticing that three people were missing, he asked curiously, "Brother Min, Lifang, and Jianjun haven't returned yet?"
Chu Tian nodded, "No."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Min came back carrying a sack of heavy objects and a huge bag in his hand.
Chu Tian and Chu Jie hurried forward to help, took the sack on Chu Min's shoulder and the bag in his hand and placed them on the carriage.
"Brother, what good stuff did you buy again?"
Chu Min smiled and pointed at the bag and said, "Some dried meat, milk lumps, raisins, wild mushrooms and so on..."
He didn't say what was in the sack, and Chu Tian, Chu Jie and Sun Weiguo didn't ask any more questions.
Chu Min curled his lips and took out three pieces of marzipan filled with walnuts and raisins from his pocket. He called out to Daya and Dazhu who were playing with Xinxin, "Xinxin, Daya, Dazhu, come here quickly and see what I brought you back."
(Marentang is what is known as Xinjiang chegao~)
Upon hearing this, the three children immediately ran to Chu Min and stared at the marzipan in Chu Min's hand with burning eyes.
Chu Min smiled and gave each of them one piece of the three pieces, saying, "Eat quickly."
Dazhu took the marzipan and put it into his mouth without thinking, chewing it with big mouthfuls. Daya swallowed her saliva, wanting to eat it but not eating it. She carefully wrapped it with the handkerchief in her pocket and put it back in her pocket.
As for the little girl Xinxin, she ran to Grandma Chu who was sitting and resting, holding a candy that was only half the size of her palm, and raised the candy in her hand and shouted loudly.
"Grandma eats..."
Seeing this, Mrs. Chu's heart melted. She picked up Xinxin and kissed her hard on the face, "Grandma's baby, you are so good..."
"However, Grandma has bad teeth and can't eat candy, so let our little Xinxin eat it, right?"
Xinxin shook her head, "No, Daddy said that the delicious food should be given to the elders first."
Mrs. Chu couldn't win over Xinxin, so she had to take a small bite of the marzipan and said with a smile, "Oh, so sweet..."
Xinxin smiled upon seeing this, and raised the marzipan in her hand and looked at Yao Xiujuan who was sitting on the left of Mrs. Chu, "Mom, you eat too."
Yao Xiujuan smiled and leaned forward and pretended to take a bite. Seeing this, Xinxin got off Old Lady Chu and gave it to Chu Tian. Chu Tian also leaned forward and pretended to take a bite.
