Little Taohua was wearing patched clothes, but that didn't stop her energetic appearance.
However, the child was still too thin and malnourished.
Although she looks very pretty, her nutrition is not up to par, and she looks sallow and skinny, which is really a bit pitiful.
Little Taohua seemed very happy. She said to Tang Xiaoman: "Third Aunt, this is my first time going to the market. Do you think I am dressed well?"
After Tang Xiaoman heard this, he felt unhappy.
He is almost ten years old, and he has never been to a town in his whole life, which is really a bit pitiful.
Mrs. Liu came out of the house, holding two dry steamed buns in her hands. She said to Little Taohua: "My child, take it with you to eat on the way!"
Xiao Taohua nodded and said yes. She put the two steamed buns into her arms and said to her mother Liu: "Mom, my third aunt and I will be back soon! You can go in and rest first! Wait until I earn money Come back and I can protect you!"
Mrs. Liu was startled after hearing this. She didn't expect that her daughter would grow up so quickly. "Well, good boy!"
Ms. Liu went back to the house to rest, while Tang Xiaoman took Xiao Taohua to the market.
Compared to before, Tang Xiaoman now sympathizes with Mrs. Liu, but also hates her for not living up to expectations, and doesn't know how to resist.
Tang Xiaoman walked with Xiao Taohua on the way to Xianglan Town. This time, she carried more things. But speaking of it, with Xiao Taohua helping Tang Xiaoman share the burden, Tang Xiaoman was not that tired.
At ten minutes past noon, the two finally arrived at Xianglan Town.
Although Xiao Taohua didn't say anything, seeing that her mouth was very dry, Tang Xiaoman happened to be thirsty too, so she drank several large bowls of tea at the roadside and ordered a donkey rolling snack. .
After eating and drinking, the two of them arrived at the Charity Hall where medicine was sold last time.
Mr. Wang, the sitting doctor, was chatting with a friend in the room. A very sweet floral fragrance came from the room. Tang Xiaoman noticed the small teapot on the table.
At this time, Mr. Wang also looked surprised when he saw Tang Xiaoman.
"Xiaoman, are you here?"
Tang Xiaoman said: "Mr. Wang, I didn't expect that you have already started brewing this camellia tea?"
Mr. Wang said: "Yes, this camellia tea has the effect of dispelling wind and detoxifying. Drinking more of it is good for the body!"
Mr. Wang saw that there was a little girl beside Tang Xiaoman this time, so he asked her: "Is this little girl your daughter?"
In fact, at that time, women generally got married early and gave birth to children early. Mr. Wang is understandable for thinking so.
Tang Xiaoman quickly introduced to Mr. Wang: "This is my little niece. Even though she is so young, she has already started to help the family with work. She dried half of these dried camellias!"
Mr. Wang cast approving glances at Tang Xiaoman and Xiao Taohua. At this time, Mr. Wang also admired Tang Xiaoman and Xiao Taohua very much.
After all, at such a young age, this child knows how to supplement the family's income.
It is indeed worthy of praise, and then think about their youngest son. When he was so old, he was still asking for candied haws all day long, and he didn't know how to help the family with any work.
Mr. Wang settled the money for the two of them, and Xiao Taohua received five hundred coins alone. She had never seen so much money in her entire life.
At this time, she was so happy that she had a smile on her face. She seemed to have a little flower blooming on her face, which was very beautiful.
Mr. Wang was very polite to Tang Xiaoman and sent them to the gate.
After returning home, Mrs. Wang and her daughter Su Xiuer were already waiting at the gate.
"Xiao Taohua, where's the money for today's sale?"
Little Taohua really didn't want to hand over the money she earned, but it seemed like she couldn't escape.
She held the money in her hand and looked at the old Mrs. Wang in front of her and said, "Grandma, I can hand it over, but you can't abuse my mother anymore!"
When these words were said, the neighbors who were watching the excitement heard, what? This old lady is still abusing her daughter-in-law at home? It’s really going to heaven!
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she felt so shameless. She raised her hand and wanted to hit Xiao Taohua, but was stopped by Su Xiuer.
"Mom, are so many people watching?"
At this time, Mrs. Wang realized that she was surrounded by neighbors. If those people pointed at her backbone and said something, she would be embarrassed to death.
Mrs. Wang brought her daughter Su Xiuer into the house with the money. After all, it was better to gain something than nothing. Besides, she didn't want to cause any more conflicts. Being criticized by the gossiping neighbors would be enough to keep her upset for a few days.
At this time, Xiao Taohua was also looking at Tang Xiaoman, with a victorious smile on her face.
Tang Xiaoman liked the look of Little Peach Blossom very much, so he took advantage of his happiness and said to her: "What do you want to eat? Third Aunt will take you to the city to eat something delicious!"
"No, third aunt, the things in this town are valuable!"
"It doesn't matter, Third Aunt is happy today, and I will pay for all the expenses!"
After finishing speaking, Xiaoman took Xiao Taohua to a relatively large restaurant in the town. This restaurant was bustling with people and it looked more prosperous at first glance. There were the voices of waiters greeting customers everywhere. However, in this scene, Tang Xiao Man seems to have seen it in some movies and TV series.
Tang Xiaoman directly asked for a private room. When the waiter came over and asked them what they wanted to eat, Tang Xiaoman directly replied: "Give me a portion of all the specialties in your store!"
The waiter in the shop was shocked. This special dish cost tens of pennies a plate. These two little girls were not well dressed, but they had such a big mouth.
The waiter didn't move. Tang Xiaoman had sharp eyes and could immediately figure out what it meant.
She calmly continued to ask the waiter: "Why are these dishes so expensive?"
In fact, there is no need to say anything more. After all, it is a special dish, so it is naturally more expensive.
However, because soy sauce is added to these dishes, the soy sauce at that time was made from soybean meat, so it was naturally more expensive.
Tang Xiaoman quickly continued: "If I can provide a soy sauce that is not made from meat, but can have a better taste, would you be willing to have it?"
The waiter in the shop laughed quickly and said: "Little lady, are you kidding me? If there is such a soy sauce substitute, we would naturally want it!"
However, the waiter didn't say anything, and said to himself, our Fumanlou is the largest restaurant in town, what haven't we seen before? If there really is the kind of soy sauce you mentioned, how could we not know about it?
"Haha, there will be!"
Tang Xiaoman didn't argue with the waiter much. She ordered a few stir-fry dishes and a soup, both with meat.
Little Peach Blossom's eyes almost bulged. She really didn't expect that she would be able to eat such delicious food in such a famous restaurant.
