Chapter 49 What is Gain and Loss

On the streets of Wuding City, Shen Ye was aimlessly looking for today's breakfast.

"Candied haws on a stick!!! Sweet candied haws on a stick!!! Candied haws on a stick that is so sweet! Candied haws on a stick that is unforgettable!!"

Hearing the uncle on the street shouting about this strange candied haws, Shen Ye was curious. It's so sweet that it's understandable! After all, it's self-proclaimed. It's so sweet that it's unforgettable. What kind of statement is this?

Shen Qiye was puzzled, and driven by curiosity, he stepped forward and asked.

"Uncle, how sweet is this candied haws of yours?"

The uncle saw that there was a guest, he turned around and smiled, revealing his white teeth that were missing one of his front teeth.

"Hey, little brother, I can tell you are someone who knows the goods! My candied haws, it's as sweet as honey, so sweet that it's unforgettable! It's perfect as a gift for the girl you like!"

"What a way to say this!"

"How sweet it is when you first fall in love, so will my candied haws of sugar be sweet! May I ask, brother, have you ever met a woman you like?"

"I have never encountered..."

"So, is there a woman you like?"

"not yet!"

"Hey! Brother, you should try my candied haws. You have never experienced the oath of love and longing for each other day and night. After eating my candied haws, you will know what love is in this world. It only teaches life and death. !”

What the uncle said was that he burst into tears and was deeply moved, as if he was the one who experienced the intense lovesickness and finally saw through the world of mortals.

Shen Ye looked at him and smiled coldly, then changed his words

"Oh?! Really?! I suddenly remembered that I have a woman I like, but she is not from the Central Plains, and she is thousands of miles away from me at the moment!"

Hearing this sentence, the uncle quickly wiped away two tears in a hypocritical manner, and said, "Hey! Brother, in this case, you should buy my candied haws! It is said that the candied haws on the ice will give birth to great strength."

I hope you will buy a few and eat them. They will be as sweet as my most lovesickness. Look, little brother, what does the red part of these candied haws look like?

"I don't know!"

"Hey, isn't this just like the red heart you miss in love? If you buy a few more candied haws, wrap your warm heart in this sweetness and give it to the girl you like? Wouldn't it be a matter of seconds!"

"Oh! That's it! Okay, uncle, I finally understand why this is so sweet!"

Shen Qiye looked at the candied haws of apples and nodded thoughtfully.

Then he asked again

"Then what does this unforgettable sweetness mean?"

Hearing him say this, the uncle looked very profound and said, "This is a secret recipe that has been passed down in my family for hundreds of years. It cannot be told to others easily. You can only taste it orally and learn it by yourself. You cannot explain it in words!"

Hearing this, Shen Qiye became even more curious, "How do you say that!?"

The uncle chuckled and said, "Brother, as long as you buy my candied haws, you will know after just one bite!"

"...Okay, how much is this bunch of candied haws on a stick?"

The uncle smiled and took out a candied haws and handed it to Shen Ye, then stretched out ten fingers and said, "It's a small business, ten coins per bunch, no credit!"

"Ten cents per skewer, so expensive?! Shouldn't they all be three cents per skewer? Candied haws." Shen Ye frowned, stared at the candied haws in his hand, and looked around before asking.

The uncle shook his head again and said, "Oh, no, no. This candied haws on a stick is not that candied haws. How can my candied haws compare with their earthly candied haws? This is the so-called value for money! Try it. Now, you’ll know!”

Shen Ye snorted coldly, but he was not stingy at all. He generously took out ten cents and gave it to him. He looked around at the candied haws in his hand and took a bite.

"It's okay, it's sweet and cloying, but not as sweet as you said! I still don't understand, why is it so unforgettable?"

"Not sweet? Hey, it's okay if it's not sweet! Now think about it, you spent ten cents to buy a bunch of candied haws, which usually cost three cents! Do you feel very heartbroken? It's unforgettable?"

Seeing Shen Ye's face slowly darkening, the uncle clapped his hands and said, "Yes, that's the feeling, it's called unforgettable!"

".........????Okay!! That's great!!! You've tricked me, Jin Yiwei, with your fucking deception!" Pinch Miao Dao's hand trembled violently, but Shen Ye's character was good. However, he still resisted the urge to beat him up.

This is incredible. When he heard that the other party said he was a royal guard, the uncle quickly begged for mercy and said, "Master, please have mercy on me, please have mercy on me! Did I just sell you a bunch of unforgettable candied hawsers according to your needs?" "

The uncle was also feeling miserable. When he first heard that he was not a local, he wanted to kill him. How did he know that the person he was killing was the Lord of Hell!!

Shen Ye didn't do anything. He put the seedlings and the knife on the ground and took out an iron waistband from his arms. From top to bottom, he wrote the three characters "Jinyiwei", and a line of small characters next to it said "Jinlin Town Prefecture Secretary" General flag, Shen Ye!

Seeing this badge, the man selling candied haws on a stick had black circles under his eyes and knelt down.

He said in a trembling voice, "My lord, please spare my life, but I can't see the mountain! Your Excellency, you don't care about the villain's faults! I will repay the villain's money in full, please spare my life, and save the villain from the pain of prison!"

However, Shen Ye ignored him and asked, "Let me ask you again! Why is this candied haws of yours called unforgettable?"

"Sir, this, this, the loss of money is naturally unforgettable. However, the common people think that this person is alive, and more importantly, weighing the gains and losses. Gains and losses are naturally unforgettable. The so-called living is not about losing and gaining. Hahahaha... Ah, the official's atonement was just nonsense from the common people, it cannot be taken seriously!" The uncle selling candied haws on a stick saw that Shen Ye's expression did not improve, and he became even more nervous.

Are there any gains or losses?

Shen Ye remained silent for a long time...

"Okay, uncle, let's go! This string of candied haws on a stick is indeed unforgettable! But if I see you using this method to deceive innocent people next time, I will ask you to stuff all the candied haws in your stomach. !!!Also let you know what unforgettable candied haws is?"

Normally, if the Jin Yiwei was offended, he would either take money to ward off the disaster, or simply lose his skin, but he never thought that Chief Shen Qiguan would be so easy to talk to today. The uncle thanked him profusely and hurriedly went to work on his own. Disappeared from Shen Ye's sight.

Shen Ye sighed and thought: It would be fun if his naughty sister was here! If someone cheated her when she bought candied haws, she would have to eat it for him. Unhappy.

The uncle also ran for a while, until Shen Ye could no longer be seen on the other side of the street, then he stopped and took a few deep breaths.

It's strange to think about it. I have sold so many candied haws on my hands, but I have eaten them only a handful of times. When was the last time I actually ate candied haws? Ah, by the way, now that I think about it, it was his decision. When selling candied haws on a stick, he tried his own candied haws on a stick. It was a half-baked product, but the sugar coating was not allowed. It was his first time doing business, and he was tricked by the fruit seller. The candied haws on a stick he made was bitter. It has a hint of sweetness in it. It is extremely sweet in one bite and bitter in the other. It is extremely weird. However, although he tried it the first few times he made candied haws, no matter how sweet it was, it was not as sweet as the candied haws. The candied haws on a stick was still fresh in his memory. Later, as his hands became more familiar with it, he could tell how it tasted just by looking at the color of the candied haws. He no longer had to try it himself, and he no longer wanted to eat it.

Looking back, more than ten spring and autumn years have passed. How much money can he make from a bunch of candied haws? He wakes up early in the morning, caress about every detail, and then calculates carefully, but he still has just enough to survive. So far, he is still alone...

I was selling sweetness to the world, but I was living a miserable life.

Gains and losses, gains and losses, only gains and losses?

Unexpectedly, now I was thinking carefully about what I just said, recalling the past, but the uncle selling candied haws on a stick felt extremely uncomfortable and burst into tears. He looked at the candied haws in his arms, looking at the candied haws that he had never wanted to eat.

He started to slowly pull out a string. This action should have been engraved in his muscles, and he was very skilled at doing it on weekdays. This time, he struggled slowly and tremblingly took out a string. It didn't look the best.

of.

After one bite, sweet lovesickness and sour memories melt into my heart.

He said to himself, "You are willing to be a concubine, sitting in the courtyard of the mansion and crying all day long, but you don't want to be my good wife, laughing with me and eating sweet candied haws... That's right, who

Would you be willing to marry a poor man? "

"Oops! It's getting hot today. You have to eat quickly or the sugar will melt!"

……………

"Hey! Shaobing!!! Shaobing!!! Caoxian Shaobing! Caoxian Shaobing, the most awesome Shaobing in the world!!"

After walking a few more steps, the various shouts on the street were overwhelmed by those from a sesame seed cake shop on the side of the road. Shen Ye was also curious about what the world's best sesame seed cakes tasted like.

"Boss, are you the best in the world with this sesame seed cake?"

“Because Caoxian County is awesome!!!”

"...."

This city of Wuding is full of talented people...

Let’s try this sesame seed cake next time!

With this thought in his mind, Shen Ye turned around and walked into the jelly shop next door.

The shop door sign has four big characters written in cursive script: "Aunt Cai's jelly!"
