After escaping from famine, the evil stepmother was pampered by the villain Zaizai Tuan

Zhang Fugui came out of the market and said he had to go elsewhere if he had something to do.

Li Yuanzhi said, "We just made an appointment to meet under the light pole in the center of the market."

"Brother Zhang will be waiting for us there after he has finished his work."

"Yes." Jiang Xiaohua agreed with a smile, "We still have to say goodbye to you formally."

It was said to be a farewell, but in fact Jiang Xiaohua planned to give the commission to Zhang Fugui in the end.

In the market just now, Jiang Xiaohua had to pay commission according to industry regulations.

But Zhang Fugui insisted not to accept it and refused to make an offer.

Seeing that there were so many people in the market, Jiang Xiaohua had no choice but to give up for the time being.

On the street, Jiang Xiaohua held the mule by hand.

The four little ones looked around the mule curiously.

"It's so tall." Xiao Miaomiao exclaimed, "How about we call it Daqing."

Jiang Xiaohua nodded in a good mood, "Okay, let's call her Daqing."

For only thirteen taels of silver, he got a big mule that had just entered his youth.

Not to mention whether it's worth it, even if you sell it in a big town now, you can make at least seven or eight taels of silver.

Although the car was still missing, Jiang Xiaohua still decided generously, "Let's go! Let's go out to a restaurant as a family!"

Li Yuanzhi and the children cheered in unison: "Oh!!!"

It says it's a restaurant, but it's actually a small bun shop.

The tables and stools in the store are relatively clean, and there are only two shopkeepers and a boy.

Li Yuanzhi looked around, "Let's just eat steamed buns?"

"What else?" Jiang Xiaohua looked at the water sign hanging on the wall and ordered the dishes fluently:

"Six cages of fresh meat dumplings, six bowls of shrimp wontons, and a plate of homemade side dishes."

She raised her eyes and asked, "What are the side dishes?"

The boy noted it down and said with a smile, "Today's homemade side dishes include three kinds, shredded rose pickles mixed with sesame oil, sour celery, and pickled raw and sweet sour cabbage."

"Our proprietress makes them all herself. They are more delicious and cleaner than those bought from Jiangyuan stores outside."

Jiang Xiaohua decided, "Let's take this."

"Okay! The buns and side dishes will come first, and the wontons will come later!" The boy agreed readily and walked away.

Jiang Xiaohua then said to Li Yuanzhi, "Not to mention that I only bought a mule now, not a car."

"Let's just say that from now on, there will be many places to spend money, except for the most basic food."

"As we move forward, it gets colder and colder. When we enter a town, we can't light a bonfire to keep warm, so we have to spend money to stay in a hotel."

"When we arrive in the capital, finding a house to live in is the biggest expense."

"Besides, what is not expensive in the capital?"

"In the future, the four little ones will have to go to school, which means four pieces of writing, four pieces of pen, ink, paper and inkstone..."

Li Yuanzhi was stunned for a moment and took a breath from time to time.

He had never calculated the expenses of running a household in the past, because there was no need to consider this aspect.

At this time, after hearing Jiang Xiaohua's rough calculation, she couldn't even think about the money spent.

Li Yuanzhi's expression became serious, "Then we should really save the flowers."

"Otherwise, don't eat the steamed buns. They're quite expensive. It's more cost-effective to make them yourself."

At this time, the little boy was bringing the buns to the table.

When he heard Li Yuanzhi's words, he looked at several people with a strange expression.

Jiang Xiaohua hurriedly smiled and said, "He was just joking. We have all ordered, how can we not eat?"

The boy then put down the buns and six small dishes of sauce, and said with a smile,

"This is made in our store using mature vinegar and a few seasonings."

“Exclusively made with secret recipe, it tastes best when dipped in Xiao Long Baozi.”

The family starts to eat.

The Xiao Long Bao has a thin skin and a large filling, and the pork filling is tender and juicy.

The four little ones had never eaten pasta like this before, and they couldn't stop after the first bite.

Jiang Xiaohua looked at them with a smile, "Eat slowly, and if you don't have enough, order more."

Liu Guang raised his head, still holding half of the bun in his mouth, "But if our family wants to save money, can we still eat so much?"

Jiang Xiaohua said, "It's just a home-cooked meal. I don't care about this meal no matter how much I save, just eat it."

Liu Guang was very happy. He raised his hand and shouted to the boy, "I want another basket of steamed buns!"

Liu Yong and Liu Ming also raised their hands.

The little boy was very clever, "One, two, three, three caged buns will be here soon!"

While Jiang Xiaohua was eating, Li Yuanzhi poked her under the table and motioned for her to look aside.

But I saw Xiao Miaomiao lying on the table, pretending to drink wonton soup with her head down.

In fact, there is a meat bun hidden in his right hand, and he needs to stuff it into the lapel of his clothes.

Jiang Xiaohua was so frightened that she quickly grabbed her daughter's hand, "Don't dare, this cotton-padded jacket will be stained with oil, and there is no place to wash it!"

Xiao Miaomiao was neither scared nor annoyed after being exposed.

Her eyes were smiling, showing her small glutinous teeth, "Hey, my mother discovered it."

Jiang Xiaohua put the bun down, wiped Xiao Miaomiao's hands, and said, "I know you think this is delicious, and you want to give it to Oolong to try, right?"

The little girl nodded, and nodded again, with an uncontrollable smile on her face.

Jiang Xiaohua sighed, "Eat well by yourself."

"I originally planned to buy three steamed buns for Oolong when we check out."

"That's great!" Xiao Miaomiao was very happy, "I know my mother wouldn't want to go hungry!"

"How can Oolong be hungry?" Liu Guang interjected, "It can hunt on its own."

Xiao Miaomiao pouted and glared at her second brother, "That's different!"

The shrimp wontons are smooth and delicious, and the side dishes each have their own taste.

The two adults, Jiang Xiaohua and Li Yuanzhi, each ate a cage of steamed buns and a bowl of wontons, and they were already full.

On the other hand, Liu Yong, Liu Guang, and Liu Ming's appetite for food was staggering.

Each of them ate two steamed buns and two bowls of wontons, leaving not a drop of wonton soup. They also shared Xiao Miao Miao's leftover rice and ate it all.

Li Yuanzhi stopped his chopsticks long ago and looked at the four little Feng Juan Can Yun in surprise.

"Are you... full?"

Liu Guang put down the bowl and burped loudly, "I'm full, just right."

Liu Yong and Liu Ming said, "I'm full."

Jiang Xiaohua was not surprised by this.

She used to be in the special service unit and met many young men who could eat and drink. This was nothing.

Jiang Xiaohua said with a smile, "As long as you are full, it is a blessing to be able to eat."

She called the store clerk again, packed three steamed buns and took them away.

The whole family left the bun shop and walked to the center of the market, preparing to meet others.

Liu Yong had been pretending to be something wrong before.

He glanced at Jiang Xiaohua several times and finally said it.

"If we have a mule cart, will we be separated from Grandma Zhou and Grandpa Second?"

Jiang Xiaohua looked at Liu Yong without evading her eyes, "Yes."

"One mule cart cannot carry so many people. In order to hurry up, we will have to separate from everyone sooner or later."

This may sound heartless, but it is the truth.

Liu Yong lowered his head and remained silent.

Li Yuanzhi thought that Liu Yong was reluctant to leave, so he comforted him and said, "Actually, we are going to the capital, which is different from everyone else's destination."

"I understand." Liu Yong suddenly said.
