The whole village is fleeing famine, fortunately I have a concubine system

Including Old Lady Wang and Old Wang, they rarely go into the city.

They would only go in when they had something to do, because they were reluctant to pay the entrance fee.

So I don’t go into the city easily, and if I go there, I come back immediately after buying things.

Because Damao ran fast, he could cover the distance that would normally take half an hour in just one incense stick of time.

And there is no particularly obvious bumpy feeling when sitting on the donkey cart.

Xiaomi was held in Old Lady Wang's arms and wrapped in clothes, leaving only her two eyes visible, looking around.

When Xiaomi arrived at the city gate, he found that all the victims were gone.

Only soldiers were left guarding the city gate, as if the natural disaster had never happened.

Old Lady Wang and others were interrogated by the soldiers and then allowed into the city.

"Mr. County Magistrate is a really good official. You don't even charge a copper."

Old Mrs. Wang had already prepared to give eight cents.

Before arriving in Fengcheng, they had to pay taxes to enter the city.

One penny per person, regardless of whether they are adults or children.

Old Lady Wang took out all her coins, but she heard the soldier say, "You don't have to pay taxes when you buy things in the city. But if you sell things, you still need to pay taxes."

Old Mrs. Wang was so happy that she quickly took the copper coins back.

I left the donkey next to the teahouse for a penny.

Someone will give the donkeys fodder and water.

They all walked towards the West Street they had just inquired about.

West Street is a developed commercial street, and the prices there are more affordable than those on East Street.

The things they sell are things that ordinary people can afford.

And East Street is where the government office is located.

The county magistrate's mansion is also near East Street. Therefore, East Street is mostly home to officials and dignitaries.

The things sold there are more diverse and the prices are more expensive.

Xiaomi's destination this time was not East Street, so they headed straight to West Street.

West Street was not far from the teahouse, and they arrived there after walking for a cup of tea.

As we entered West Street, it became noticeably more lively.

Not only are there shops on both sides of the road, but there are also small vendors everywhere on both sides of the road.

When he walked near them, he would greet them warmly.

"Shaobing, these shaobings are fresh out of the oven. Would you like to try one?"

"It's mutton soup. Hot mutton soup. Would you like a bowl?"

There are also some people selling clay dolls and various kinds of masks.

Goudan and his companions were dazzled.

But what attracted them most was a peddler walking around.

He was carrying a long bamboo pole with straw tied on top to form a thick cylinder.

There are red hawthorn candied haws stuck on it.

As he walked, he kept shouting: "Ice~tanghulu hey~bingtang~hulu."

Goudan stared at the vendor without blinking, and even drooled.

Xiaomi had the silver given to her by Old Lady Wang, so she took Goudan and the others to buy it.

"You all follow me."

Several people walked up to the vendor, and Xiaomi said to him, "Uncle, give me ten candied haws."

When the vendor saw the children surrounding him, he thought that big business was coming.

"Okay, little girl. You really have good taste. My family's candied haws are the biggest and sweetest in the whole West Street.

I guarantee you’ll want to eat more after you’ve eaten it.

Three cents for two, and if you want ten it's fifteen cents!"

When Xiaomi heard this, he took out copper coins from his small cloth bag.

Goudan held Xiaomi's hand and said to the vendor, "Uncle, we bought a lot, can you give us a discount?"

The vendor paused holding the candied haws.

He smiled and looked at Goudan: "You kid, you can bargain at such a young age? Okay, uncle will give you a discount.

Just give me thirteen cents."

Goudan shook his head and said, "Look, there are still so many left. It's already afternoon. If we can't sell them all today, they won't be fresh tomorrow. They will definitely be hard to sell.

It would be better to sell it to us at a lower price. Give us ten cents.

You can go home earlier.”

The vendor thought about it and looked at the candied haws stuck in the straw.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, ten cents is ten cents, and I will go home early today."

Goudan said with a smile: "Thank you, uncle. You are so straightforward. You can tell at a glance that you are someone who can make a fortune."

These words made the hawker smile happily.

With a smile on her face, she picked out big, round candied haws for them.

Goudan poked Xiaomi's arm and said, "My dear, what are you standing there for? Give me the money."

After saying that, he looked at Xiaomi proudly and said, "I'm awesome, I saved five cents in one go."

Xiaomi gave Goudan a thumbs up and said, "Brother, you are so awesome."

Gou Wa also looked at him with admiration, which made Goudan extremely excited.

He scratched his head and chuckled, not even close to the clever look he had shown when he was bargaining just now.

Several people were given a string of candied haws and licked them as they walked.

Even Old Lady Wang and Old Wang each got a string.

"You are such a good kid who loves you so much that he thinks of you even when he has something delicious to eat."

Old Mrs. Wang took the candied haws handed to her by Xiaomi and praised Xiaomi as usual.

Then I started eating the candied haws.

Old Wang was a little embarrassed on the road. He looked at the food in his hand like a treasure, but didn't eat it.

This is even when the child goes out to buy things and she thinks of him. Since the child was born, every time she goes out and comes home,

The children surrounded him and asked him what delicious food he had brought for them.

Now that he is very old, he actually eats the things that the doll brings him.

Old Wang was feeling a little emotional for a moment and was feeling sentimental.

Old Lady Wang said slowly, "Do you want to eat it? If not, give it to Goudan."

When Goudan heard Old Lady Wang calling him, he looked up at her.

There are still sugar residues from the candied haws on his mouth.

"Grandma, don't you like candied haws? They're so sweet."

After saying that, he looked at Old Wang and said, “Grandpa, are you like the clan leader, unable to bite?

Last time Huahua said that her grandfather’s teeth had fallen out and he couldn’t bite anything.

You still can’t bite it, so let me eat it. I have good teeth.”

Old Wang looked down at his silly grandson and said, "You unlucky thing, eat your food."

After saying that, he took a bite of the candied haws, feeling the sweet and sour taste of the hawthorn in his mouth.

My sad mood was also completely destroyed.

Old Mrs. Wang looked at Old Wang with a smile in her eyes.

"Eat slowly. Be careful not to get any on your face."

After saying that, I took a bite myself. It was really sweet. It had been a long time since I had eaten this.

Qian Guixiang ate the candied haws in her hand carefully, and caught it with one hand for fear of dropping it.

After taking a bite, he immediately started laughing.

"Auntie, this is so sweet."

Xiaomi also took a bite and shuddered at the sour taste.

The hawthorn itself is very sour except for the sugar coating on it which makes it a little sweet.

Look at the others, they all seem to be eating with gusto.

Xiaomi's mouth immediately started to drool.

Xiaomi asked Gou Wa Zi with some doubt: "Brother, is yours sweet?"

Gou Wa nodded: "Yeah, sweet. Very sweet."
