After being bound to the learning system in my mother's womb, I became the empress

Chapter 12 Xibao is our family’s blessing
Shopkeeper Zhu and Chef Fang looked at each other and stopped.

The rest of the people who were attracted by the atmosphere and joined the bidding also stopped.

Lin Chunniang was so happy that she felt like she was not standing on a boat, but floating on the clouds.

"Quickly, Dayou, give the fish to this young master."

Lin Dayou flushed with joy and boldly stepped onto the corridor with the big fish in his arms, wanting to hand the fish over to Song Xingyi.

Song Xingyi waved his hand quickly, how could he hold such a big fish?
He took out an ingot of about two taels of silver and paid the money, asking Lin Dayou to hand over the fish to the people in Deyuelou. He was here to eat and planned to use the chef here to cook the big fish. Wouldn't it be nice to eat?
"Xiaojiu, come here and take a look, I bought a big fish."

Song Xingyi waved to his little cousin on the boat.

Lin Xi glanced over there and saw a six or seven-year-old boy coming out of the cabin. He was as delicate and cute as a small jade Buddha.

She looked away calmly and looked at the stalls selling food.

In her heart, no matter how beautiful and lovely the skin is, it is not as good as a big meat bun.

Lin Chunniang held the two taels of silver in her hands and looked at everyone like a thief. She wished she could go back home immediately and hide the money.

Lin Dayou, who had always been calm, smiled like a child: "Sister, we are rich."

Lin Chunniang couldn't help laughing, "Yes, we are rich."

Two taels of silver is two ounces of money, that's as many as two thousand copper plates strung together!

How much food can I buy?How many pieces of cloth?

"You two, I see you still have two baskets of fish on the boat, why don't you just sell them to me?"

Chef Fang failed in the competition for the big fish, but he did not leave. Instead, he waited for everyone to disperse and asked the boatman to hold the boat in front of Lin Chunniang and the others and asked.

Lin Chunniang was wary for a moment. After hearing that he was here to buy fish, her tense body relaxed and she said, "You want all of them? The fish in this basket are not very big, and there are some shrimps and crabs mixed in."

Chef Fang: "It's okay."

"Okay then, let me weigh you."

After weighing, the two baskets of fish and shrimp weighed about thirty kilograms. Lin Chunniang quoted the price: "You can give us fifty cents."

The small fish and shrimps were worthless, so she was giving them half for sale and half for free.

Chef Fang handed over a bunch of money and said, "No need to look for it. If you catch a big fish next time, bring it directly to Fuqing Tower, okay?"

This was his purpose, and buying the two baskets of fish and shrimp was just incidental.

Lin Chunniang responded: "No problem."

She was very grateful to Chef Fang. If it weren't for him, she might have sold the big fish cheaply for only two hundred coins. How could she get two taels of silver?

This is one of them.

The second thing is that even if Dayou can still catch big fish, he probably won't be able to find a buyer as generous as that young master again, and he will still have to sell it to a restaurant.

Compared with the shopkeeper of Deyuelou, Chef Fang is obviously more kind.

Of course she wouldn't mind agreeing.

As soon as Chef Fang left, Lin Chunniang couldn't wait to count the bunch of money, and it turned out that there were two hundred coins!
On this trip, they made two taels of silver!

Lin Chunniang was overjoyed. She hugged Lin Xi and kissed her loudly on the forehead, "Xibao, you are really the blessing of our family!"

It was really the right thing to bring her out this time!

If it weren't for Xibao's support, there wouldn't be the series of things that happened later. Compared with Chef Fang, Xibao is the real contributor!
"Come on, let's go buy something to eat."

There are many shops and stalls on both sides of the river, and vendors selling food can be seen everywhere.Lin Dayou still remembered that his sister said that he would buy steamed buns after selling the money, so he pushed the boat to a stall selling steamed buns.

Lin Chunniang went ashore and bought two steamed buns.

In fact, she wanted to eat steamed buns more. She saw others buying big hot meat buns and bit into them. Her mouth was shiny from the food. Not to mention how greedy she was.

It's just that although she has money now, her family still owes a lot of foreign debt, so she has to save some money.

After passing a steamed bun to her brother on the boat, Lin Chunniang held her own steamed bun and ate it.

The steamed buns are also delicious, soft and sweet. You must know that not long ago, she ate rice bran and vegetable balls that choked her throat.

Lin Xi watched her eat and her mouth watered.

She didn't want to, but a child's control was poor. She opened her mouth slightly and saliva came out automatically.

Lin Chunniang realized that it was time to feed Xibao, but where could milk or rice soup be sold in this town?

Looking around, her eyes lit up and she strode towards a lotus root starch stall.

Peizhou is dotted with lakes and rivers and is rich in aquatic products. In addition to fish, lotus root is also a very common food. There are many ways to eat lotus root, and lotus root starch is one of them.

In addition to lotus root noodles, the stall also sells other snacks.

Lin Chunniang: "Sister, let me have a bowl of lotus root starch." Without milk and rice soup, lotus root starch should be fed to children, right?
The stall owner scooped a spoonful of lotus root starch into the bowl, brewed it skillfully with hot water, and while stirring, asked: "Girl, do you want to add other ingredients? There are osmanthus, sesame, water chestnuts... If you don't add any ingredients, it will cost three cents. Four cents for additional ingredients.”

Lin Chunniang said simply: "No more."

So a small bowl of lotus root starch actually costs three cents, which is more expensive than meat buns, and even more expensive with added ingredients.

Pork only costs ten cents a pound. Wouldn’t it be delicious if she used that money to buy half a pound of pork?

The lotus root starch is served, fragrant and sticky, with a beautiful light pink color.

Lin Chunniang scooped up a spoonful, blew it to cool it, brought it to her mouth to test the temperature, and then fed it to Xibao.

Lin Xi was used to this, and it was good that the Lin family didn't chew the food before feeding it to her.

Lotus root starch is delicious, but unfortunately Lin Xi has a small appetite, so she was full after eating less than half a bowl.

Lin Chunniang didn't mind it at all, she finished the remaining bites and scraped the bottom of the bowl, not wasting a single bit.

Looking at the bustling market, Lin Chunniang had many things she wanted to buy, including grain, cloth, salt... everything was lacking at home.

But money doesn't go easily, so she ended up buying only some urgently needed things.

When passing a stall selling chickens, Lin Chunniang couldn't help but slow down. Those fluffy chickens were so cute. When they were raised, they could lay eggs and eat meat.

She wanted to buy a few to go back to, but she didn't dare.

In the past, the chickens she raised were either dead, sick, or ran away. Some of them finally grew up and were able to lay eggs, but they always laid their eggs outside.

In the end, all the work is in vain.

But since Xibao came, her luck has improved. Maybe she can try again?
"Xibao, do you think I should buy some chicks to raise?"

Lin Chunniang lowered her head and asked the little baby in her arms.

Lin Xi pointed at the bright yellow stuffed chick, "Yeah." Buy it.

The chickens raised by yourself are green and pollution-free, and they must taste delicious.

Lin Chunniang felt that she understood what Xibao meant, "Okay, then let's buy it!"
