Zheng Xiaoman was wearing a mask and didn't feel embarrassed at all being watched by so many people.

Instead, when he saw someone looking at him, he shouted even harder.

Zhou Chunfeng, on the other hand, was still a little uncomfortable and tugged at her clothes nervously.

Some people thought this girl was quite interesting. A young man squatted down and pointed at the green bean cakes on the stall and asked, "Are these really sold for two cents a piece?"

Zheng Xiaoman smiled and said, "Big brother, the cakes on the stall are two cents each. You can try them first."

She picked up a small piece of mung bean cake with a bamboo stick and handed it to the other party.

The young man didn’t expect that he could try it, so he took it with a smile and put it into his mouth.

Wow, this mung bean cake is sweet and fragrant, and it feels better than the ones sold in town.

A bag of snacks in town costs twenty cents, but they are much cheaper here.

"Little sister, give me two pieces of each of the mung bean cake and red bean cake. Is this peanut candy?"

He pointed to the peanut candy beside him and asked.

"Yes, it's peanut candy. Come, try this peanut candy again." Zheng Xiaoman handed him another piece of peanut candy crumbs.

After tasting it, the young man immediately asked for two more pieces of peanut candy.

Zhou Chunfeng happily took the oil paper and packed the pastries he ordered. The young man counted out twelve coins from his purse and handed them to her.

Zheng Xiaoman took the money and counted it with a smile, "It's exactly twelve cents. Here are the cakes."

The young man took the pastry and put it carefully in his arms. When he got back, he would give it to the girl he liked to try.

After seeing someone buying cakes, several more people followed suit and bought a few cakes.

When a child saw this, he started crying and pulling at the adults’ clothes, asking for food.

Most of the people who can bring their children to the market are families who love their children.

Although I felt a little sad to spend two cents on a piece of snack, I couldn't resist and bought it for my child in the end.

The child happily took the snack and started to eat it. His happy look made the other children even more envious.

It only costs two cents anyway, and many parents came to buy one or two pieces, thinking that their children had never had snacks since they were grown up.

Zheng Xiaoman and Zhou Chunfeng were busy collecting money and packing respectively.

Even several of the baskets woven by Zheng Dashan were sold.

Many people also tried the dried fish and shrimp paste and bought some to take home.

Especially the shrimp paste, a big jar was sold out very quickly.

By nine o'clock, there was nothing left on their stall.

Zheng Xiaoman looked at the sun and said, "Mom, let's pack up and take a walk. It's time to go back."

Seeing that there were only some small fish and peanut candies left on her stall, Zhou Chunfeng happily responded and started to pack up the stall.

After packing up all the things, the mother and daughter strolled around the market for a while.

Seeing that it was getting late, he hurried back.

It was almost ten o'clock when I got home. Fortunately, Mrs. Zheng and the others had finished cooking all the dishes.

Zheng Xiaoman didn't even have time to count the money she earned in the morning. She handed the purse to her father, and hurried to cook the fish ball soup. The three of them pushed the cart towards the town.

They arrived a little late today. As soon as they arrived, the gong for the end of work was struck.

The three of them quickly set up the stall and then started to work hard again.

After today's food was sold out, Zheng Xiaoman sat down under the shade of a tree to rest, exhausted.

Zhou Chunfeng was also a little tired today, so she walked over and sat down next to her daughter.

"Mom, look, there are two more food stalls today, and they are also selling stews."

Zhou Chunfeng followed her daughter's gaze and saw the two new stalls.

"Yeah, Mom noticed it just now. They even sneaked over to our place and bought two servings of food."

She feels helpless now. Why are they targeting their family one by one?

Zheng Xiaoman chuckled and said, "Let them eat it. Only by tasting it yourself can you know the gap between us and them."

She was not worried at all. Her skills were not something that anyone could learn.

"Mom, can we go buy some meat later? I want to eat dumplings."

The cabbages at home could be harvested, and when she looked at them she thought of eating dumplings stuffed with cabbage.

Zhou Chunfeng was not stingy today and nodded in agreement. "Okay, then let's go to the town and buy a pound of meat."

She roughly calculated their income for the day. Together with the income from the morning and lunch, they probably earned about six or seven hundred coins.

That's why she was so generous and agreed to her daughter's request to buy meat and make dumplings.

Zheng Xiaoman just said that, but she didn't expect her mother to actually agree to it. She almost thought her mother had been betrayed by someone else.

Zhou Chunfeng laughed at her daughter's surprised expression, "Why, do you think your mother is so stingy that she can't even afford to buy you a piece of meat?"

Zheng Xiaoman hugged her mother's arm and said with a smile: "Hey, I'm really surprised today. Why is mom so generous today?"

Zhou Chunfeng patted her with a smile, "You are so naughty. I just thought that we made a lot of money today. You have been suffering a lot with me recently, so I want you to eat something good to replenish your body."

She raised her hand and touched her daughter's thin face. The child had lost a lot of weight due to working early and late recently.

She felt very sad, but the family conditions were such that she couldn't even let her daughter take a rest.

Zheng Xiaoman leaned her head on her mother's shoulder, "Hehe, I know my mother is the best."

She watched as Old Man Zheng came over after packing up his things and said happily, "Grandpa, my mother said she'll go to the city to buy meat so we can make dumplings tonight."

Old Man Zheng laughed, "Oh, that's great, I haven't eaten dumplings for a long time. When I go back later, I have to take the half pot of wine from home."

Zhou Chunfeng and Zheng Xiaoman had almost finished their rest, so they stood up.

After several days, the three of them pushed the cart to the town again.

"Hey, big sister, why haven't you come over these few days?"

When the pork stall owner saw the familiar cart, his eyes lit up.

When the three people came closer, he asked with a smile on his face.

Zhou Chunfeng was still a little upset about what happened before, she curled her lips and said, "I was too busy at home these days, so I didn't come over.

Please cut me a pound of pork belly."

"Okay, okay, how about this one?" the boss asked, pointing to the best piece of pork belly on the stall.

Zhou Chunfeng nodded, "Okay, let's go to this one."

The butcher quickly cut the meat and weighed it, which was just over one pound.

"Big sister, this is forty cents, is that okay?"

Zhou Chunfeng nodded, "Okay, that's all."

As she spoke, she counted out forty cents and handed them over.

The boss packed the meat for her and saw them take the meat and turn to leave, showing no intention of buying the offal at all.

He immediately said anxiously: "Hey, sister, don't you want this pig offal?"
