Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 10933

The carriage drove steadily on the streets of Wanghai County. There were pedestrians on both sides of the streets, and people gathered in front of various stalls along the street.

The vendors' cries came one after another, adults were joking and children were playing. Among the crowd, the vendor holding a tall stack of firewood filled with candied haws of sugar-coated haws was the most eye-catching.

The red candied haws look like small and cute red lanterns from a distance, attracting almost all the children on the street.

There are very few children who can resist the temptation of candied haws on a stick, and adults are swayed by their children, so you can almost see a man selling candied haws on a pile of firewood every distance.

"Our two babies also like to eat candied haws. The last time Tuanbao had a sore tooth, he couldn't bear to throw it away."

When Wang Cuilian saw the candied haws on the roadside, she habitually thought of her two precious grandchildren.

When Blacksmith Luo heard this, he looked out of the window and called Xingwang, who was driving in front of him: "Stop, stop, I'm going to buy some bunches of candied haws."

The carriage slowly stopped on the side of the road. Blacksmith Luo was about to get out of the carriage to buy candied haws, but Yang Ruoqing came over and stopped him.

"I'll go buy it. Just wait for me here."

Yang Ruoqing rode around and searched the area. The vendor Wang Cuilian saw selling candied haws was an old man in his sixties wearing a black autumn cotton hat.

The old man placed the pile of firewood filled with candied haws against the donkey cart next to him. He sat on the donkey cart, basking in the sun and picking his nostrils.

Not far from the old man, there was another candied haws seller, a middle-aged couple.

The quality and size of the candied haws didn’t look as good as the old man’s, but the man in the middle-aged couple’s candied haws looked neater.

Tanghulu is just one of their livelihoods. The couple also sells sugar cane.

When tourists come to buy sugar cane, the man immediately puts on the twine gloves prepared in advance to peel the sugar cane for them without touching it directly with his own hands.

Moreover, Yang Ruoqing also noticed a detail. The candied haws on the old man's side were inserted directly into the firewood pile and exposed to the air for sale.

The candied haws of middle-aged couples are almost always covered with a layer of white sugar coating and an isolation film made of sugar paper.

Yang Ruoqing dismounted, took Xingwang with her, and walked straight towards the middle-aged couple...

Soon, Xingwang returned to the carriage carrying a whole bunch of candied haws, while Yang Ruoqing was still behind to buy sugarcane.

After a while she came back, carrying a bundle of peeled sugar cane.

"Come, let's all eat. This sugar cane is rich in water, so we can use it as tea on the road."

One person got a piece of sugar cane, and everyone had a good tooth, so they immediately started chewing sugar cane.

Wang Cuilian looked at the candied haws on the carriage and smiled: "Qing'er, if you buy so many, Tuanbao's teeth will be sore again!"

Yang Ruoqing said: "It's not just for him to eat alone. The children at home will send some to him when the time comes."

"He and Yuanyuan, each of them can only eat two skewers each. Any more will break their teeth."

The three children of Da'an's family have returned to the village for the Chinese New Year. Yang Ruoqing, her biological aunt, will definitely give them to the three of them if she buys candied haws.

In addition, Yang Ruoqing must bring a bowl of water to Lingling, Jiaojiao and Rourou in Xiangjiazhuang.

If there is any leftover, it will be divided among the Sun family’s Dashunzi and Xiaoshunzi, and among the children in other rooms of Lao Yang’s family.

When Yang Ruoqing said this, Wang Cuilian understood immediately. She nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, that's how it should be."

Blacksmith Luo looked at the candied haws on his carriage, and then looked at the candied haws of the old man over there.

"Qing'er, our candied haws on a stick is a bit small, but my husband's candied haws over there looks bigger!"

After Blacksmith Luo reminded them, everyone looked at these two kinds of candied haws again, and sure enough!

Yang Ruoqing and others are indeed ordinary and relatively small ones, the kind of candied haws that are very common in the mountains and fields in autumn. As for the candied haws of the old man over there, each one is as big as a glutinous rice dumpling, and some are even bigger.

No matter how much the price fluctuates, people with a discerning eye will choose to buy bigger and rounder ones to eat.

Yang Ruoqing just smiled and didn't want to say the reason.

Just when Blacksmith Luo and the others were confused, someone over there went to the old man to buy candied haws.

"How do you sell candied haws on a stick?"

"One for three copper plates, two for five copper plates, how many do you want?"

"Then... give me five copper coins!"

"okay."

The old man took his hand out of his nostrils, rubbed it on his pants, then raised his hand to get the candied haws for the customer.

Instead of holding the candied haws by its wooden handle, you pinch it directly on the candied haws itself, leaving very clear spiral fingerprints on the sugar coating.

"Old man, you are too careless. You can just pinch it with your hands, but your hands... ugh!"

"Hey, I'm not sick after eating it. My hands are fine!"

The father-in-law took the money and sent away the father and son customers in front of him with a smile.

The father put the child on his shoulders and walked. When he passed by Yang Ruoqing's carriage, he heard the child eating candied haws on a stick say to his father: "Dad, this candied haws on a stick is delicious, sweet and salty!"

"Ah... this is the taste, don't ask anything, just eat it!"

...When the father and son passed by the carriage, several people on the carriage looked at each other.

Yang Ruoqing added: "When I went over earlier, my husband had just finished picking his left nostril and switched to the right..."

When the father and son went to buy candied haws, they had just finished picking out both nostrils.

Can the candied haws be eaten directly with fingers that are pickled by boogers? Can they not be salty?

Several people on the carriage understood immediately, and everyone felt a sense of fear of escaping from danger.

Wang Cuilian said: "It's a good thing Qing'er you didn't buy my father-in-law's candied haws, otherwise, you would be so disgusting to eat."

Blacksmith Luo also smiled a little awkwardly and agreed.

Yang Huazhong said: "Out of sight is out of mind. Now we have bumped into it. There are many things that we can't bump into, so we can only eat them with our eyes closed."

Yang Ruoqing agrees with Yang Huazhong's views.

Even if it was the candied haws and sugar cane she had just bought, the vendor couple looked cleaner and neater on the surface.

But in private, no one can say whether they peed into the candied haws when they were making it!

Even if you are cooking at home, sometimes a hair will accidentally fall out.

After all, we don’t live in a vacuum. How can we do everything in detail and without any flaws at all?

However, I still followed Yang Huazhong's words, out of sight, out of sight.

As long as the eyes don't see it, the difference will be over.

What you see with your eyes, sorry, it’s really hard to deceive yourself anymore.

Everyone drove all the way without any further delay and entered the village in time for lunch.

When Yang Ruoqing set off, she had already sent her guards back to the village in advance to deliver the message, so when they arrived home, Aunt Rong had already arranged for Linglan and Shaoyao to cook lunch for them, waiting for them to come back.
