Along the way, Dahua and Erhua were surprised again and again.

"Mom, look at the big red lanterns over there. They are so beautiful."

"Mom, look, there are many small lanterns hanging under that lantern."

"Mom, look over there, there's a man selling lanterns. There's a flower painted on the lantern. It's really pretty."

"Mom, look over there, there's a candy man."

"mother......"

"mother......"

As they walked along the way, Dahua and Erhua almost never stopped exclaiming.

Gu Qingqing's head was buzzing from the shouting.

Today, merchants hung up red lanterns early. Although the candles have not been lit inside, the bright red alone looks festive.

The streets are much busier today than usual.

Almost as soon as she had set up the stall, a hearty and resounding voice came from her, "Hahaha, I finally got you guys."

Gu Qingqing looked over with a smile on her face. Seeing the person coming, she hurriedly greeted him, "Brother, would you like some Shaobai today?"

The person who came was none other than the bearded man who bought four mooncakes from her the day before yesterday.

"Hahaha, come here! I was delayed yesterday. When I heard that there was a stall selling shaobai on the street, I rushed over only to find out that you had already closed the stall. I'm guarding you today." The man said, and stretched out his hand behind his back, holding a large Haikou bowl.

Gu Qingqing took his bowl and said enthusiastically, "There are a lot of people in town these days, so we sell faster. How many are you bringing today, big brother?"

"Ten slices, please."

Gu Qingqing quickly picked up eleven pieces for him, "Brother, you are the first one to come, so I am taking care of your business. I will give you an extra piece of Shaobai. Last time I promised you more salted vegetables, so today I will give you two more pieces of salted vegetables."

As Gu Qingqing's last clamp fell, the Haikou bowl was filled to the brim.

The bearded man laughed loudly and couldn't help but praise her, "Sister, you are honest in your business. Come on, take the money!"

The bearded man was halfway through handing over the money when he suddenly asked, "No mooncakes today? Didn't you say last time that you would sell mooncakes together?"

Although she did not sign a "confidentiality agreement" with Jinji, Gu Qingqing kept her word. Since she had promised Jinji, she would no longer sell it privately.

Hearing the bearded man's question, she said apologetically, "Brother, it's such a pity. I didn't have enough time to make the mooncakes, so I didn't make them."

After hearing this, the bearded man waved his hand as if he didn't mind, and then said something that made Gu Qingqing and Wen Wuyan want to vomit blood.

He said, "I bought a few at Jin Kee yesterday. They tasted almost the same as yours, but they were two cents more expensive. It's a pity you didn't make them today, otherwise I wouldn't have to go to Jin Kee to queue up. There's not much difference in taste anyway."

The bearded man took the bowl and left, leaving Gu Qingqing and Wen Wuyan staring at each other.

How can it taste bad? No matter what, it's all made by them.

However, they have a good attitude and are content. For Jinji, it is just a matter of running errands. If they sell them themselves, they don’t know how long it will take to sell out the three hundred pieces.

I had bought the shaobai made by Gu Qingqing before, and now that I saw her setting up a stall again, I immediately went home to get a bowl and buy a few slices.

Those who haven’t bought it can just come and take a look, and buy a few slices after trying them.

Some people who didn’t have anything to bring with them simply went to the noodle stall next door, bought a bowl of noodles, and then ordered two slices of meat and ate it on the spot.

There are also people who might not be willing to eat a bite on weekdays, but today is the Moon Worship Festival and they have family dinner tonight, so they don’t want to save money and buy a few slices.

So, just after noon, the thirty kilograms of roast pork they brought were finished.

The last three pieces of meat and some salted vegetables were put into a bowl by Gu Qingqing and given to the owner of the noodle stall next door.

The boss looked at Gu Qingqing in surprise, saying "What is this?"

"Brother, my boss and I want to take our kids for a walk on the street. Can we park our cart next to your stall? Please help us watch it for a while."

Gu Qingqing said this and pointed at her cart.

After hearing this, the noodle stall owner realized it was not a big deal and laughed, "Just stop there. There's no need to rush back. There's a lantern festival in town tonight and we'll close late. We just need to come back before the city gates close."

"Then I'll trouble you, big brother. Give me a bowl and I'll pour the Shaobai for you. It's not much, so don't be dissatisfied."

"Wait a moment." The boss said as he turned around and took out a clean bowl and handed it to Gu Qingqing, then smiled and said, "I see that many diners like to pour some of your Shaobai on their noodles. It looks delicious when they eat it. Today, my wife and I will also have a good time."

Gu Qingqing took back her empty bowl and parked the car next to their stall. Only a frame was left on the car, which contained ceramic basins, bowls and bamboo clips. All the valuables were taken away by them.

At this time, the young man who came in a hurry saw that the stall had been closed. He asked in frustration, "Gone?"

Gu Qingqing looked at the young man in a green robe, and then she remembered that the last time she sold mooncakes, he also said he wanted to buy some, and he even bought one mooncake at that time.

"It's you!" Gu Qingqing said, then turned around to look at the folded stall. He came at such an unfortunate time!

"You're late, today is over!"

The young man in the cyan robe muttered “this this this…” for a long time, then said sadly, “How could this happen?”

What could Gu Qingqing say but to comfort him, "I will come to the town to set up a stall in five days when the town market opens. How about I keep it for you before then?"

What can the young man do when he can’t buy it? He can only nod in frustration, and before leaving, he reminds, “I will come early on that day, you must wait for me!”

Gu Qingqing agreed with a smile.

A family of five was walking on the street.

At noon, there are more people in the town, more stalls and more tourists.

Wen Wuyan was carrying a bamboo basket, Gu Qingqing was holding Sanhua, and Dahua and Erhua were like two little butterflies, flying in and out of their sight.

The main street was very bustling, with people selling lanterns, carved toys, snack vendors shouting, and even jugglers.

Gu Qingqing saw Dahua and Erhua standing on tiptoe and stretching their necks to see. After she and Wen Wuyan looked at each other, she called Dahua and Erhua and asked them to stand in a place which was not in a very good position but where there were few people to watch.

Not to mention Dahua and Erhua who were watching the fire-breathing show, screaming and clapping excitedly, even Gu Qingqing, who had seen the world, was enjoying the show.

After a round of performances was over, a little girl held a gong and asked for tips.

Gu Qingqing looked around and saw people dropping different numbers of coins. She also dropped three and then continued shopping with Dahua and Erhua.

Gu Qingqing saw someone making candy figures and bought some for the two sisters.

Seeing Gu Qingqing selling fried fruits, he spent another thirty cents to buy a bag of fried fruits.

After eating a few, they put them in a bamboo basket and took them home to eat slowly.
