The old man said proudly: "That's right. I get up before dawn every day, go over the mountains to the city, sell my things and come back over the mountains again. I can run, jump, eat and sleep. But Awesome."
Xiao Qing smiled and said, "Dad, please stop talking a few words. You're still coughing."
With that said, she went to the corner and picked up a big bag, and took out three small boxes from the bag. One box was placed in Liu Shengsheng's hand, and the other two boxes were given to Nan Muze and Jing Chun.
"This is a pastry that my father is selling. It tastes very good. We don't have anything delicious to entertain you at home. If you don't mind, give it a try."
Liu Shengsheng quickly opened the box and took a look, and she guessed it right.
This is the source of poison in Jiangcheng...
Probably because the three of them didn't eat, Xiao Qing scratched his head and said, "Did you eat other expensive pastries, so you can't eat these? Hehe, it's okay, I can cook delicious food for you. I have chickens in my yard, and I will kill one for you later."
Looking at Xiao Qing's innocent smile, Liu Shengsheng was almost certain that the father and daughter did not know that the pastries were poisonous.
She glanced at Nan Muze meaningfully, and Nan Muze understood immediately.
He put the box away without eating a bite.
Seeing that neither of them had eaten, Jing Chun didn't dare to eat either, but looked at Liu Shengsheng with eyes full of doubts.
Then I heard Liu Shengsheng say: "No need to kill him, we don't eat chicken, you can just fry some side dishes."
Xiao Qing smiled and said, "How can that be done? You are honored guests..."
"This is the first time I've seen such a beautiful pastry. It must be quite troublesome to make, right?"
Liu Shengsheng changed the topic.
But Xiao Qing said blankly: "I don't know, we also bought it at a low price, and then added a little bit more and sold it to make some profit. How can my father do this kind of handiwork?" Come? And I have to grow vegetables and raise chickens and ducks on weekdays, so I don’t have time to do these things. The main reason is that I can’t do them.”
After saying that, Xiaoqing walked out with a smile.
There were a lot of vegetables planted in the yard outside. After going out, she went to the vegetable patch to pick vegetables.
Liu Shengsheng then turned her attention to the old man on the bed.
"Then you are so smart, and you know how to make a little money by making a profit from the price difference, but aren't things like pastries very easy to spoil? If you take so many and can't sell them, won't they spoil?"
The old man coughed twice and said, "Little girl, you don't understand. This kind of pastry will not spoil for half a year. The people who made this pastry told me that they added many medicinal materials to keep them fresh, so these pastries can be eaten It tastes a little bit like herbal medicine, which is safe and healthy.
Ahem, if I hadn't told you, you wouldn't have been able to tell that these pastries have been there for three or four months, right? "
"You really can't tell."
Jing Chun complained and put the box on the table next to him.
Fortunately, I didn't eat it. It's so stale and I won't get diarrhea after eating it...
Liu Shengsheng, on the other hand, said with admiration: "That's awesome. Where did you buy these pastries?"
"Ahem, cough, cough. About three or four months ago, Dongcheng was looking for workers. I rushed over and moved bricks for a few days. When I went home to rest, I saw someone selling pastries on the street. They were so cheap. And business is very good.
The man also said that this kind of pastry is not easy to spoil, so I came up with a plan and bought a lot of them at once. It only cost three taels of silver in total, cough cough cough, and then I brought them back and sold them without stopping..."
The old man said proudly, and after talking too much, he couldn't help coughing several times.
At this moment, an old woman's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Old man Li, are you okay? I heard you coughing all the way away."
It’s Granny Ye who only has two teeth left...
Seeing Granny Ye enter the door, Old Man Li smiled very happily, "We have a distinguished guest at home, and I have someone to chat with me."
"It's good if you can. I dug too many potatoes, so I'll send you two.
There is also a small bag of rice. You have to cook it when you have guests, you know? "
As if she was afraid that he couldn't hear clearly, Granny Ye also turned up the volume.
Old Man Li was about to get out of bed, "Take it back quickly, we have it at home."
Xiao Qing also ran back in a hurry, still holding two green vegetables in her hand, "Grandma Ye, I will cook a few dishes later, and you can come and eat together."
Grandma Ye shook her head, "If you don't want to eat, don't eat. I have porridge at home and I haven't finished it yet."
"I've had rice at night, so why should I eat porridge? I'm killing a chicken, so you can come over and have a bowl of chicken soup."
Xiaoqing leaned towards Grandma Ye's ear with a smile, and continued: "I'll leave you two chicken legs."
Grandma Ye was so amused that she burst out laughing, "Silly boy, grandma, I don't even have any teeth, so I can't chew, but it's you. You said it's a rare trip to the city, why don't you go to the city lord's mansion for a walk? This is This is the only chance for ordinary people like us to enter the City Lord’s Mansion.”
"What's the point of leaving? If you go there, you won't become mine. Besides, you used to be a wealthy lady. Just tell me what I want to know."
"Silly boy, I heard that there is a great miraculous doctor there. His medical skills are so amazing that you wouldn't even have a chance to see him if you didn't go there. There are also current princes, famous generals, and many big shots..."
Granny Ye said cheerfully, then looked at Liu Shengsheng and said, "Girl, have you ever seen those big shots?"
Liu Shengsheng smiled awkwardly, "No..."
"Oh, mother-in-law, stop nagging me, she needs to rest." Xiao Qing couldn't help complaining.
Grandma Ye smiled and said, "Chengcheng, hurry up and take the potatoes and rice, and I'll go back and rest..."
Xiaoqing picked up the vegetables in her hand and said, "I don't have any hands free. Ask the girl to help me get them. I'll go to the kitchen to wash the vegetables first."
After saying that, she jumped up and ran out.
Granny Ye walked up to Liu Shengsheng and put the two bags in her hands into Liu Shengsheng's arms.
"It's good to be young, you can walk vigorously..."
Liu Shengsheng nodded gently, but suddenly found that the back of Granny Ye's hand was covered with red spots.
Her eyes dimmed and the smile on her face suddenly froze.
This Granny Ye was also poisoned!
Perhaps noticing something was wrong with Liu Shengsheng's expression, Granny Ye quickly retracted her hand and pulled her sleeves to cover the back of her hands.
Just as Liu Shengsheng was about to speak, Granny Ye said first, "Look at my memory, the porridge is still hot in my pot. Old man Li, you can rest in peace and recuperate while I go back first."
After saying that, she walked out step by step on crutches.
Old Man Li said cheerfully: "I have told you several times to call me Xiao Li, but you still call me old."
Grandma Ye made a sound, "I have lost all my teeth, but I still have the nerve to call me Xiao Li." ap.
"Nonsense, there's still one left."
"I have two more."
"..."
This is an ordinary family, and the conversations between neighbors are equally ordinary. But for some reason, Liu Shengsheng felt a little sad when looking at this scene.
Nan Muze took the thing in her arms and gently put it on the ground, "What are you thinking about?"
Liu Shengsheng said nothing, just turned and walked out.
