That is.

I'm a garlic-peeling expert.

The group peeled garlic for most of the hour, filling a large basin.

Jin Chen looked at the bowl of white garlic cloves and swallowed hard.

"I really want to eat it."

Ning Rongrong glared at him.

"Raw, you can't eat it."

It needs to be pickled before it can be eaten.

Jin Chen sighed.

"All right.

I'll wait.

Dugu Yan poured the vinegar into the jar, Hu Liena added the sugar, Zhu Zhuqing put in the garlic cloves, Xie Yue put the lid on, and Yan moved the jar to the corner of the wall.

Jin Chen looked at the jar of garlic and swallowed hard.

When can we eat?

Ning Rongrong thought for a moment.

"On New Year's Day."

There are still a few days left.

Jin Chen sighed.

"So long."

Ning Rongrong smiled.

"soon.

It passed in the blink of an eye.

In the afternoon, Ning Rongrong held Zhu Zhuqing's hand.

"Sister Zhuqing, let's go play in the street! The market is still open today, and there are lots of fun things to do!"

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ling Feng.

Ling Feng nodded.

"Go."

Zhu Zhuqing followed Ning Rongrong out of the offering hall.

The market in Wuhun City is located in the west of the city, and it takes about half an hour to walk there from the Hall of Worship.

But Ning Rongrong couldn't wait and pulled Zhu Zhuqing into the carriage.

The carriage traveled on the snow, its wheels crunching and creaking as they rolled over the snow.

Ning Rongrong lifted the car curtain, looked at the street scene outside the window, and kept making sounds like "wow," "oh," and "so beautiful."

Zhu Zhuqing sat beside her, looking at the snow scene outside the window, a slight smile playing on her lips.

The horse-drawn carriage stopped at the entrance of the market.

Ning Rongrong jumped off the carriage, with Zhu Zhuqing following behind her.

The market was packed with people, shoulder to shoulder, with shouts of vendors, bargaining, and children's laughter all mixed together, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.

Ning Rongrong held Zhu Zhuqing's hand as they weaved through the crowd.

She was small and agile as a fish, darting from one stall to another.

"Sister Zhuqing, look at this! It's so beautiful!"

Ning Rongrong pointed to a lantern on a stall.

The lanterns are red, painted with lifelike golden angels and coiled dragons.

Looking at the lantern, Zhu Zhuqing felt a warm current welling up in her heart.

She remembered that when she was in the Star Luo Empire, they also hung lanterns for the New Year, but they had never been this beautiful.

"Let's buy one."

Zhu Zhuqing said.

Ning Rongrong nodded.

"Okay! Buy two! One to hang on my bedroom door, and one to hang on Sister Zhuqing's bedroom door!"

She took out her purse, bought two lanterns, and gave one to Zhu Zhuqing.

"Sister Zhuqing, this is for you."

Zhu Zhuqing took the lantern. The lantern was very light, the paper was very thin, and the bamboo strips inside were very fine.

She carried the lantern, a feeling she couldn't quite describe welling up inside her.

She had never received such a gift before.

In the Star Luo Empire, no one gave her a lantern.

She spends every Lunar New Year alone.

Chapter 259 Humanity

Jin Chen emerged from behind a stall, holding a string of candied hawthorns in his hand and chewing on something in his mouth.

He grinned when he saw Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.

"Rongrong, Miss Zhuqing, you've come too!"

Ning Rongrong looked at him.

"Brother Jin Chen, what did you buy?"

Jin Chen held up the candied hawthorn in his hand.

"Candied hawthorn berries! They're so delicious!"

Ning Rongrong looked at him.

How much did you eat?

Jin Chen thought for a moment.

"Three strings."

Ning Rongrong sighed.

"All you ever do is eat."

Jin Chen chuckled.

I also bought other things.

Look.

He took out a cloth bag from his pocket, opened it, and inside were several candied melons, a handful of peanuts, and a few pieces of rice cake.

Ning Rongrong looked at those things and smiled.

"You bought so much, can you finish it all?"

Jin Chen nodded.

"I can finish it."

I have a good appetite.

Dugu Yan and Hu Liena also arrived.

Dugu Yan held a folding fan in her hand, on which was painted a phoenix.

Hu Liena held a sugar figurine in her hand, examined it for a long time, and was reluctant to eat it.

They walked over to Jin Chen and looked at his cloth bag.

Dugu Yan raised an eyebrow.

"Jin Chen, you bought so much, are you treating us?"

Jin Chen nodded.

Please! Eat whatever you like!

The crowd gathered around Jin Chen, eating candied melon, peanuts, and rice cakes.

Jin Chen watched them eat, feeling secretly pleased.

He loves lively atmospheres.

Yan and Xie Yue also arrived.

Yan was holding a roasted sweet potato and peeling it.

Xie Yue held two moon blades in his hands, his face expressionless.

Jin Chen looked at Xie Yue.

"Xie Yue, aren't you going to buy anything?"

Xie Yue shook his head.

"I won't buy it."

Jin Chen scratched his head.

"Then what are you doing here?"

Xie Yue looked at him.

"Accompany Yan."
