Chapter 34 Spicy buns sold

Cheng Huai gave Uncle Li two cents as usual, put the basket on the carriage board, and then turned around to pick up the ginger seedlings.

Jiang Miao could tell at a glance what he wanted to do, so she quickly pulled up her trouser legs and climbed onto the bullock cart.

Cheng Huai stood by the side without reaching out, but stared at her, giving her a hand when it was time to help her.

After climbing into the car and sitting down, Jiang Miao moved the two baskets next to her, trying not to take up as much space.

Seeing the courgettes in her basket, Aunt Zhang couldn't help but said: "Jiang Miao, are you going to town with your man to sell courgettes?"

Only then did Jiang Miao realize that Aunt Zhang was also there, sitting on the bullock cart with her back to her.

She turned around and asked: "Yes, what is Aunt Zhang going to the town to sell?"

Aunt Zhang moved the basket away a little, curled her lips and said, "We are also selling some vegetables. Your courgette is so small, will anyone buy it?"

"Just try your luck, just in case someone wants to buy it." Jiang Miao didn't worry.

Aunt Zhang suddenly stopped talking. She held her own basket in her arms and looked at the vegetables in other people's baskets. They were basically courgettes and cowpeas.

People in the village grow these, and if they can't finish eating, they naturally sell them in the town.

The people in the bullock cart were full. Uncle Li shouted and the bullock cart started to move.

Feeling the familiar bumpy feeling again, Jiang Miao subconsciously grabbed the rough man walking next to her to steady herself.

Cheng Huai walked forward without any distractions, but his steps were not fast.

Jiang Miao looked at his deliberately slow pace and thought, if he hadn't supported her, this man would have gone far away.

When they arrived in town, Jiang Miao's buttocks were already numb.

Seeing that she didn't move, Cheng Huai hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took her down.

This time Jiang Miao didn't have any objection at all, her legs were really stiff.

People on the bullock cart got off the car one after another to occupy their seats. Jiang Miao also quickly looked ahead, spotted an open seat, and ran over.

She had almost seen it clearly the last time she came to town. There were many people coming and going in this location, so it was a good place.

But before she could get there, a person suddenly rushed over from behind and bumped her shoulder, occupying the exact spot she was looking at.

Jiang Miao almost fell to the ground, but was held up by Cheng Huai, but a few courgettes in the basket accidentally fell out and two were broken.

Seeing the broken courgette, Jiang Miao became a little angry and looked at the woman in front of her.

Meeting Jiang Miao's angry gaze, Aunt Zhang put the basket away with a smile, "Jiang Miao, I took this position first, you can't let your Cheng Huai take it back again."

Aunt Zhang was still a little scared when she spoke. After all, Cheng Huai was still nearby and could kill someone with just one fist.

Jiang Miao raised her head and glanced at Cheng Huai, then walked towards Aunt Zhang and looked down at the vegetables in her basket. It turned out that they were also courgettes.

She stood up straight with clear eyes: "No matter what Aunt Zhang said, my Cheng Huai didn't even move. How could he be like a gangster on the street and take someone else's place?"

"This place is full of rogues, but there are only a few scoundrels." She bent down and took two courgettes from Aunt Zhang's basket and said in a calm voice.

Knowing that she was talking about her, Aunt Zhang looked a little ugly, "Jiang Miao, what are you doing with my courgette?"

Jiang Miao turned her head and pointed to the ground, "You just hit me and knocked my courgette to the ground."

"You dropped it yourself, how can you use my courgette to offset it?" Aunt Zhang was a little reluctant and snatched the courgette back.

Jiang Miao was not upset, "Then let my Cheng Huai hit me, do you think so?"

Hearing Jiang Miao calling him, Cheng Huai walked over immediately.

The man had broad shoulders and a wide waist, and was tall and powerful. As he walked over, part of the light on his head was blocked.

Aunt Zhang's expression froze, and she immediately stuffed the courgette to Jiang Miao again, muttering unhappily: "Didn't I just smash two courgettes? They are not valuable things."

"Since it's not valuable, why should Mrs. Zhang be stingy?" Jiang Miao put the courgette into the basket at home.

Aunt Zhang suddenly stopped talking.

Jiang Miao and Cheng Huai found another place, put down the baskets, and waited for more people to start shouting.

Cheng Huai bent down and took out a bun, broke it in half, and handed half to Jiang Miao.

Looking up at the man's indifferent expression, Jiang Miao shook her head: "Cheng Huai, I'm not hungry, you can eat everything."

In the past few days, she had been full at every meal at Cheng's house, so she was not as eager for food as before.

Seeing that she was really not hungry, Cheng Huai ate the bun in two bites, then reached out and held her arm.

Jiang Miao paused her arms and turned to look at him, seemingly confused.

The man's fingers slowly pinched her arms and shoulders, rubbing them gently, and a numbing feeling came from her arms.

Having just been bumped by Aunt Zhang, her arm felt really uncomfortable. Unexpectedly, Cheng Huai noticed it.

"Thank you." She felt grateful in her heart.

Cheng Huai kneaded her in silence. When there were more people, Jiang Miao stopped letting him knead her and began to shout loudly.

“Selling steamed buns, delicious steamed buns, salty and spicy!”

"And spicy buns?" A middle-aged man came over and asked curiously.

Jiang Miao smiled and replied: "Yes, brother, would you like to buy one and try it?"

"What kind of filling is it? How much does it cost? Is it not delicious?"

Jiang Miao calmly replied: "There are cabbage and wild vegetable fillings, pickled vegetable fillings, and pepper and pickled vegetable fillings. Brother, you can try them before paying for them. Keep them delicious."

"Then give me some chili pepper first. I've never tasted anything like this before." The man said immediately.

Jiang Miao wrapped a chili-flavored bag for him, not afraid of him running away, after all, Cheng Huai was there.

The middle-aged man opened the bun on the spot, glanced at the chili inside, and frowned: "It's all chili?"

After saying that, he lowered his head and took a bite, then quickly swallowed it. He finished the spicy bun in one go.

Jiang Miao immediately smiled, "Is it delicious, brother?"

The man's expression lit up and he looked at the big round buns in the basket and said, "It tastes good. How much does it cost for one? Help me put three more buns in it."

"One penny a piece, not expensive." Jiang Miao knelt down and filled three spicy buns for him.

The middle-aged man quickly gave Cheng Huai four copper coins, "It's really not expensive. The two-cent buns sold in the front store are not as big as yours. I will come to you to buy them as usual next time."

For businessmen, repeat customers are the most important thing. Jiang Miao said with a smile on her face: "Okay, you can just come to us on this street when the time comes."

The middle-aged man nodded and walked away with the buns. Jiang Miao happily turned to look at Cheng Huai, "Cheng Huai, our spicy buns have been sold!"

The woman had a sweet smile, and her fair and pretty face was full of joy. Cheng Huai couldn't help but reach out and touch the top of her head.

Jiang Miao stood up immediately and was unhappy, "Cheng Huai, if you touch your head, you won't grow taller."

Cheng Huai had no choice but to purse his lips and take back his hand, stared at her head for a while and then looked away.
