"Young master, why are you here again? Didn't the master say that? You are not allowed to do this kind of work."

A middle-aged man walked to Xiao Er's side, looking helpless at Xiao Er's clothes.

Who would have thought that the young master of Zhenxiu Pavilion would be a waiter at the entrance of the restaurant every day?

Of course, middle-aged people dare not say this.

After all, even their master can't do anything to this young boss, how can he dare to say more than the shopkeeper of a restaurant?

"Oh shopkeeper Liu, don't talk about it. I came to Qingshan County from the capital to be quiet. Don't just follow my father's example."

Shopkeeper Liu was also helpless, and could only watch helplessly as his young master, who grew up with a golden spoon in his mouth, went to greet the guests at the entrance of the restaurant again.

At this time, Zhu Qiuqi came out of the alley with half a bag of polished rice, and she couldn't hide the smile on her face.

She ate bran swallowed vegetables for two or three days at Zhang's house, and she wanted to eat some rice porridge for a long time.

Now that she finally has food, she must have a full meal when she returns home today.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

The sudden shout made Zhu Qiuqi stop, and when she looked up, she saw a carriage galloping towards her.

Accustomed to the heavy traffic, the speed of such a carriage was within the range of Zhu Qiuqi's reaction.

I saw what I thought was a fat lady in front of me, standing on the side of the road straddling a vegetable basket, and she was about to be hit by the carriage that was obviously out of control.

Zhu Qiuqi stepped forward quickly and pulled the old lady back.

The aunt's body is indeed strong, and the moment she was dragged back by Zhu Qiuqi, she also overwhelmed Zhu Qiuqi.

At this time, the half bag of polished rice that Zhu Qiuqi was carrying was also spilled all over the floor.

The carriage drove by quickly, hitting two or three people.The rest of the people escaped unharmed because of dodging.

But so it was, the carriage still didn't intend to stop.

Looking at the back of the receding carriage, Zhu Qiuqi frowned unconsciously.

"Oh, big sister, I really have to thank you today."

The aunt got up from the ground, and hurried to help Zhu Qiuqi who was pressed on the ground by her.

After Zhu Qiuqi was pulled up, the aunt realized that the polished rice Zhu Qiuqi was carrying had been spilled.

The eyes of the people around lit up when they saw the polished rice that Zhu Qiuqi spilled out.

But when everyone saw the clothes of the fat lady, they didn't dare to go forward, so they could only watch from the sidelines.

"Big sister, I'm really sorry. How much money do you need for this food? Shall I pay you?"

Zhu Qiuqi waved her hand, this milled rice was produced by the system, she didn't want to just throw it away.

And she had discovered long ago that the rice in the system was more nourishing than ordinary rice.Even if it falls on the ground, she can still cook and eat after washing it at home.

"No need, ma'am, I can eat this rice when I go home and wash it."

The fat lady also saw that she really didn't want compensation, so she could only help Zhu Qiuqi pick up the polished rice first.

But when the fat lady saw Zhu Qiuqi's polished rice on the ground, her eyes widened.

"Big sister, where did you buy this rice?"

There was a tremor in the fat lady's voice.

Zhu Qiuqi only wanted to put away the milled rice as soon as possible, so that he could join Zhang Siyuan as soon as possible, so as not to worry him.

For a while, he didn't notice the abnormality of the fat lady.

Just hearing the fat aunt's question, Zhu Qiuqi was only vaguely fooling around.

"I bought this at the West Market just now."

The fat lady obviously didn't believe it.

"Big sister, don't lie to me. I have been in this county for so many years, but I have never seen such good polished rice."

When Zhu Qiuqi listened, her heart skipped a beat.

Quickly explained, "My aunt misunderstood, I didn't buy this rice from our county. A pair of merchants came to the west market in the morning, and I bought it from that merchant."

The fat aunt is a little regretful, but the merchants are different from the shops.The whereabouts of those people are uncertain. I met them in the morning, and maybe they are gone in the afternoon.

Even if she rushed to the West Market now, she might not be able to meet those vendors.

Zhu Qiuqi's eyes flashed when she saw the fat lady's regretful expression.

"Ma'am, the price of my rice is not cheap, but I just bought some good food for the children at home."

The fat lady understands.

It is normal for a mother to love her daughter, she has nothing to say.

But looking at such fine rice, she felt a little bit reluctant.

The young master of their family has not eaten properly for several days, if he can make a bowl of rice with this polished rice, the young master must be able to eat more.

She also watched the young master of their family grow up with her own eyes, and she also hopes that the young master can grow up safely.

"Big sister, if you look at it like this... I won't buy all your polished rice, you can just share it with me. You can open whatever price you want."

The fat aunt also looked at Zhu Qiuqi's clothes and knew that her family background might not be very good.

If Zhu Qiuqi could be let go with a high price, she would feel more at ease.

After all, Zhu Qiuqi saved her today, and she is willing to give Zhu Qiuqi more money, as a repayment for Zhu Qiuqi's kindness.

Although it is not easy for her to repay Zhu Qiuqi directly with money, if she can exchange this milled rice, she can have a reason to give Zhu Qiuqi money.

Originally, I thought that Zhu Qiuqi would agree to the proposal soon after hearing this proposal. After all, no matter how good the polished rice is, it can't be better than more money.

With more money, you can buy more polished rice and fine noodles.

However, Zhu Qiuqi tied up the bag, not intending to sell it to her at all.

"Ma'am, I'm really sorry, our kids are greedy. I've been thinking about making something good for them these days, and this rice just happens to be used."

It's not that Zhu Qiuqi is not interested in money, but that Zhang Siyuan is obviously a money earner.

What their family lacks now is not money, but food on the surface.

Seeing that she couldn't buy food, the fat lady became anxious for a while.

"Big sister, don't rush away..."

Zhu Qiuqi stopped to look at her.

She had noticed before that the clothes on the fat lady might have been collectively made by the wealthy family for the servants in the family, and she saw several of the same clothes in Dongshi just now.

Although the pattern of the clothes on the fat aunt is more complicated and more exquisite, it can still be seen at a glance that these clothes come from a family.

Since the fat lady wants this polished rice, she has to show some sincerity.

She has no shortage of polished rice, as long as the money is enough, the price offered by the system is also favorable enough, how much polished rice does she want to buy?

But there is not much food that can be obtained in front of people. She has to find a way to get more food. Otherwise, the children in the family will be able to eat a full meal in the future, won't it be suspicious?
