General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 21 The First Pot of Gold (1)

Ji Xiaomu didn't know that someone was targeting her. At this time, Ji Xiaomu was making brown sugar cake and Aunt Li was preparing to go to the town to buy some supplies for the family. Since Ji Xiaomu started cooking, the seasonings at home were used up very quickly. Any dish seemed to be transformed in Ji Xiaomu's hands, with good color, aroma and taste.

But there is one thing: the seasonings are used up very quickly. In the past, the oil and salt in our home could last for a month, but now most of them are gone in just a few days.

Thinking of buying more for Ji Xiaomu, the girl said that there were many other dishes that could be made, and she had never even heard of the names of those dishes. When she heard that there was a lack of seasoning, the whole family was worried and thought about making up for it for her.

The old man told her directly that she should just buy a portion of all the seasonings. It was obvious that the old man could not overcome his greed.

Ji Xiaomu wanted to test the waters with the brown sugar cakes to see if she could set up a stall and make some money. The two of them hit it off immediately and decided to travel together.

Seeing such a lively street market for the first time, Aunt Ji looked at the noisy and hawking stalls and was looking at a place where she could set up her stall. Aunt Li took Aunt Ji to help her sort out the locations of all the shops in the town and even took her on a special tour.

After Aunt Ji repeatedly assured her that she knew the way by heart, Aunt Li finally let go of her hand and let her go for a walk by herself while she went to buy some seasonings.

After Aunt Li left, Aunt Ji stood on the small arch bridge in the center of the town and carefully observed the entire town. Although the town was not big, it had everything it needed.

East Street is where gambling houses gather, and Aunt Li strictly forbids her from setting foot in that dark area.

West Street is where grocery stores and other daily necessities are sold. Firewood, rice, oil, salt and seasonings are all on West Street. Clothes and fabrics are all sold on this street.

North Street is the vegetable market. Stalls selling vegetables and fresh meat are all on this street. It is also the place with the most people and the most mixed crowds.

South Street is different from the other three streets. Restaurants, teahouses and snack shops are all on this street, but it is not noisy.

After thinking about it, Ji Xiaomu decided to go to South Street. Although the brown sugar cake was made with simple ingredients, it was soft and sticky, sweet and delicious. She didn't want it to be an ordinary snack.

Walking on South Street, many people on the street are relatively well-off. They want to let everyone know that they have mines at home. They wear brocade and embroidered clothes and have servants following them. It seems that the target of these people is the largest restaurant on South Street.

Then they walked to the door of the restaurant. The waiters in the restaurant all had tinted glasses. Seeing that Ji Xiaomu was dressed in ordinary clothes, they pulled her back and refused to let her in.

"Go, go, go back to where you came from. This is not a place you can afford. Don't come in and embarrass yourself." The waiter pulled Ji Xiaomu and said, "You can't afford to offend anyone here. Let's go."

"Brother Xiaoer, I don't mean to cause trouble. I just want to meet your boss." Ji Xiaowu said softly. Xiaoer had no ill intentions and was just giving a kind reminder. Although the words might be a little harsh, his heart was good.

"What do you want to see our boss for? Can we just see our boss casually?" The waiter shook his head and refused.

"Brother Xiaoer, try this." Mother Ji chuckled and didn't want to force her way in. She stood aside, took out a small piece of brown sugar cake from the basket and put it in the waiter's hand.

"What is this? It's fresh and smells sweet." The second brother was curious. He had never seen this before. He stretched out his hand and squeezed it. It was quite soft. "It's quite soft?"

"This is called brown sugar cake. Little brother, please try it. If you think it's good, please recommend it to the shopkeeper. Is that okay with you?" asked Aunt Ji with a smile.
