Jiang Miao stood up with the bun and broke it in half.

He half reached out and handed it to Cheng Huai's mouth, "You must be tired after walking for such a long time. Let's take half of it each, otherwise I won't be able to finish the whole bun."

Can’t finish even one bun?

The man looked at her with faint eyes, took the bun from her hand, and ate it in two bites.

He seemed to be questioning Jiang Miao's statement.

Jiang Miao retracted her hand in a nonchalant manner, lowered her head and bit into the bun silently.

The steamed buns made by Yu Ying are really delicious, especially the filling inside, which is particularly refreshing and tasty. Jiang Miao was not too hungry, so she ate it in small bites and savored it slowly.

Soon, an aunt came over with a basket and said, "Sister, how do you sell steamed buns? I see you eat them very well."

Jiang Miao's eyes lit up, business was coming!

She immediately said enthusiastically: "Mom, you get one steamed bun for a penny, it's so delicious!"

"What kind of fillings are there? Vegetarian and meat ones?" the aunt continued to ask.

Jiang Miao opened the cloth covering it and smiled brightly: "They are all stuffed with plain fillings. My mother makes them at home. I always like to eat them. How many do you want, aunt?"

When she saw that the buns in the basket were bigger than the one selling buns on the street, the aunt didn't hesitate and said directly: "Then make two for me first and I'll have a taste."

"Okay." Jiang Miao immediately took the clean paper beside the basket, wrapped two buns and handed them over.

The aunt took the bun, counted two cents and gave it to Cheng Huai, looked at Jiang Miao and said, "Two cents, I'll give it to your elder brother."

Jiang Miao nodded, "Thank you, ma'am!"

Cheng Huai took the money and looked at Jiang Miao's crooked eyebrows, and suddenly took a breath in his heart.

He is obviously Jiang Miao's man, not an elder brother.

Jiang Miao didn't notice his expression, her mind was completely focused on the steamed buns. Having experienced it for the first time, she completely let go.

"Big buns! Big steamed buns that are fragrant! Big steamed buns that are delicious!"

There were more people walking on the road, so she would naturally start shouting, otherwise no one would know there were steamed buns in the basket.

Cheng Huai froze on the spot, staring at Jiang Miao's small body and that loud mouth, completely shocked.

Soon, several people came over.

"How do you sell steamed buns? How much does one cost?"

"Bring me two buns!"

"The buns are quite big, give me five of them!"

"I want three. I'll give the money to your elder brother."

Jiang Miao smiled so hard that her eyes curled up, and her voice was sweet and obedient.

"One piece of paper, please take it, Madam."

"Three buns are ready..."

"Uncle, come again next time, my steamed buns are delicious!"

As time went by, more than half of the buns in the basket were sold, and Cheng Huai also received a lot of copper coins.

Pursing his lips and looking at the busy Jiang Miao, Cheng Huai suddenly realized that he had not been able to help.

No one came for the time being. Jiang Miao stood up and looked up at Cheng Huai with a bright smile on her face.

Seeing that his hands were full of copper coins, Jiang Miao's eyes lit up and she felt a little happy.

"Cheng Huai, put the money here." She took out the small cloth bag Yu Ying gave her and held it up to Cheng Huai like a small fortune.

The man took the bag, packed the copper plates, and handed them to Jiang Miao again.

Jiang Miao waved her hand and shook her head, "You'd better keep it. You'll collect the money."

After that, she started shouting again, excited and enthusiastic.

Cheng Huai was somewhat used to it.

Seeing someone coming, he grabbed her arm and stood aside, squatting down to help pack the buns.

Cheng Huai's tall body squatted down, Jiang Miao glanced at him curiously, and then smiled.

This man didn't want her to work alone and wanted to help.

She shouted more and more vigorously: "Hey, steamed buns, big and delicious steamed buns!"

Soon, within an hour, all the baskets of steamed buns were sold out.

The money bag was also full, and Jiang Miao couldn't help but grin when she held it.

It’s a lot of money, I’m so happy to make money.

She glanced at the man who stood up, raised her head and said, "Cheng Huai, hold the money bag. It's too heavy for me to carry."

Cheng Huai nodded and took it, looking at her with even more surprise.

He has brought buns to town to sell them before, and he has never sold them out, let alone sold them out in such a short time.

This is all thanks to the ginger seedlings.

"Thank you." He said two words in a shallow voice.

Jiang Miao shook her head, "Cheng Huai, we are a family."

There is no need to say thank you as a family.

They treated her with the most simple sincerity, and she naturally responded with sincerity. Besides, she didn't do anything, so he didn't need to thank them.

The man's eyes, as dark as ink, fell on her pretty face, and then there was an unnatural look.

"Yeah." He responded softly.

Hearing his response, Jiang Miao smiled at him and knelt down to look at the rabbit.

I don’t know if anyone will come to buy rabbits today.

Probably seeing her absent-mindedness, Cheng Huai bent down and picked up the rope that bound the rabbit in his hand, and picked it up.

He looked at Jiang Miao and said calmly: "Go shopping first."

Jiang Miao hurriedly stood up with her legs up, a little confused, "Why don't you sell the rabbit first?"

Cheng Huai also raised the basket in his hand, "Those who want to buy mountain products won't come until the market is about to close."

Listening to his explanation, it seems that those who buy local products also want to take advantage of the end of the market to grab the lowest prices.

"Then let's go buy pork first!" she said.

Cheng Huai took her to the pork stall set up by the butcher. There was not much pork left, and it usually sold out very quickly on market days.

But the remaining pork looked very fresh, and there were a few big bones with shaved meat on the side.

"Uncle, how do you sell pork?"

The butcher casually lifted the pork twice with his knife, and turned it over to show Jiang Miao, "Fifteen cents per catty, the pig was just killed yesterday, the pork is fresh!"

"Is there any less? Make it cheaper, uncle!" Jiang Miao shouted sweetly.

Seeing that she really wanted to buy it, the butcher relented and said, "Then I'll give you fourteen cents per catty. How much do you want?"

Jiang Miao's eyebrows curled up in a smile, and a penny was money. "It's just a pound. How do you sell those big bones?" She pointed to the big bones on the side.

The uncle took a quick look and saw that no one had asked about this big bone. If the flesh was shaved off, it would be worthless.

"If you want it, just give me twenty coins together. I'll give it all to you. I'll treat it as a gift to you."

Jiang Miao immediately replied: "Then I'll take them all, thank you uncle!"

The uncle nodded, wrapped the pork, tied up a few big bones with straw rope, and handed them to Jiang Miao.

Jiang Miao quickly took it, glanced at Cheng Huai, and motioned for him to pay.

After paying the money, Cheng Huai put the things in her hands into the basket.

"Are you going to sell this rabbit?" the uncle suddenly shouted.

Jiang Miao stopped instantly, "Yes, uncle, do you want to buy it? My man went up the mountain to catch them yesterday, and they are all still alive!"

She grabbed one of the fat rabbits and said, "Look, he's very energetic!"

As soon as the back of the neck was pinched, the rabbit kicked up its hind legs uneasily, showing that it was really energetic.
