The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 133 The First Coin
Wang Dalang took Wang Sanlang, Wang Silang, and Xiao Ayu with him to Nanhe Town.

Although Grandma Wang said she wouldn't interfere, she actually sent Wang Chuanman to follow them, fearing they might be bullied on the road.

The little ones didn't know, but Tuanzi did, though she didn't intend to tell them.

Nanhe Town is not large, with only three main streets. Stalls are not allowed on the largest main street. One of the other two main streets sells various vegetables, and the other sells all sorts of miscellaneous items.

Most of the items sold at the stalls were cheaper than those in the shops, but they couldn't be too much cheaper, or the shops would cause trouble.

Wang Dalang carried a large basket on his back, Wang Sanlang held a large stick covered with straw, and Wang Silang carried only a basket containing candied hawthorns.

Little Ayu was very capable this time; she refused to be carried by her brothers and skipped along by herself.

The older brothers initially disagreed, but they couldn't persuade Xiao Ayu otherwise, so they had no choice but to go along with her.

They went to the third street, which didn't really have a name; people usually called it Nanhe Third Street.

Perhaps because the disaster had just passed, there weren't many vendors on Nanhe Third Street, and not many people were buying things.

They quickly found an empty spot. To the left was a stall selling steamed buns, to the right a stall selling bok choy, and across the street was a stall selling roasted sweet potatoes and roasted chestnuts, as well as a stall selling handmade straw sandals.

When they saw several children setting up a stall, they all looked over.

Wang Dalang put down his basket and took out a straw mat from it, which they had woven together.

The grass and wood were laid on the ground, and then the wild fruits were taken out of the basket. The wild fruits were all red and very pleasing to the eye.

Some of the food placed at the bottom was crushed, so Wang Dalang handed it to his younger siblings, saying, "You can eat it."

Wang Sanlang and Wang Silang both shook their heads repeatedly: "Give it to Sister Ayu, we won't eat it."

If these were picked by family members for their own consumption, they wouldn't mind eating them. But now that they're being used for business and sold, they're reluctant to eat them themselves.

But I'm still willing to give it to my younger sister.

Little Ayu refused to eat: "Ayu isn't hungry right now. If Ayu doesn't want to eat, let's keep it. If someone wants to buy it, we can let them have a taste."

"Yes, we can let people have a taste. Sister Ayu is so clever. No wonder even Mr. Hu praised you!"

Now, some members of their family are studying under Grandpa Hu, so everyone calls Grandpa Hu "Old Master Hu".

Several people nearby were initially curious about what they were selling, but when they saw them displaying wild fruits, they all shook their heads.

"Did you grow these fruits yourselves? They look pretty much like wild fruits from outside. I'm afraid no one will buy them," the uncle selling steamed buns kindly advised. "If you want to sell these, it's unlikely you'll succeed. You should go back and buy something else to sell."

Compared to the village, the people in the town are naturally much better off economically, but they are not fools. They are unlikely to spend money on fruits that are available in the wild, unless they are delicious wild vegetables.

These days, fruit isn't a necessity; whether you eat it or not doesn't really matter.

Little Ayu said, "Uncle, the fruit in our garden is delicious. My brothers and I planted it together. Please try some!"

As she spoke, Xiao Ayu took out one of the crushed fruits, ran over, and handed it to the person selling steamed buns.

The steamed bun seller knew those were marks from being crushed, and didn't think the little guy was teasing him, but he didn't reach out to take it.

"I'm not buying your fruit, and don't bother letting me try any. You can eat it yourself."

"You don't need to buy it, it's just for you to eat, thank you." Little Ayu smiled sweetly, "Uncle, thank you for reminding us. Grandma said that we should always thank others when they help us." Seeing how the little girl was staring at him, the bun seller couldn't refuse anymore, so he had to take the fruit. He thought to himself that this kind of fruit was the one he loved to eat when he was a child, and he remembered that it tasted sweet and sour.

Adults generally don't like to eat the foods they ate when they were young because their tastes change a lot as they get older.

Especially as people get older, they've eaten more and more good things, so they naturally look down on those little snacks.

Little Ayu stared intently at the uncle selling steamed buns.

Although he didn't say a word, the uncle selling steamed buns felt that she probably wanted him to try them on the spot.

Then let's give it a try.

The uncle, who was prepared for the sour taste, casually wiped the bright red fruit and put it in his mouth.

The people at the surrounding stalls were all staring at the uncle, mainly wanting to see how he would react to the sourness.

Without a sound, the uncle's eyes suddenly widened, and then he smacked his lips a few times, almost drooling.

"Hey, how's it? Isn't it super sour? I never liked this kind of fruit when I was a kid. This one looks a bit bigger than the ones we usually eat, but I bet it's sour too, right?" someone asked with a smile, not caring what the children's expressions were.

The man selling steamed buns, nicknamed "Vegetable Cow," swallowed the fruit in his mouth upon hearing this, then waved his hand and said, "You know what, this fruit isn't sour at all; it's actually quite sweet, almost like the candy we have at home!"

The candy they usually buy isn't particularly sweet; sweeter candy is more expensive, so ordinary people usually only buy candy with moderate sweetness and are reluctant to use it.

When everyone heard that this fruit could be as sweet as sugar, they all thought it was unbelievable.

Where can you find fruit that's as sweet as sugar?
"Cai Niu, are you related to these kids? Are you putting on a show for everyone?" The old man selling straw sandals looked displeased and said in a hoarse voice, "It's no use putting on a show for us; nobody here will buy this fruit."

Cai Niu's face turned red: "Who cares whether you buy it or not? Why would I put on a show? Do you think I'm just bored? If you don't want to buy it, fine, but don't talk nonsense. I've tasted it and it's sweet, so I'm going to buy it!"

To prove he really would buy it, Cai Niu asked the children, "How much are these wild fruits?"

“One penny…” Their family didn’t have a scale, so they couldn’t weigh things by the kilogram.

When they came out, they agreed on 10 for one coin.

【Baby, you quoted 5 for one coin】

Without hesitation, Xiao Ayu said, "Uncle Cai Niu, these are five for one coin! If you're the first one to buy our fruit, we'll give you an extra one!"

Cai Niu Gang thought that five for one coin was too expensive. These wild fruits were everywhere, and even if they were big, five of them wouldn't fill one hand.

But the little kid had already put it that way, so he felt bad if he didn't buy it.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Alright then, I'll buy one penny's worth first." He planned to take the fruit back to the children.

I just can't tell my wife that I bought it myself, otherwise she'll definitely nag.

The children of the Wang family were overjoyed to receive a single coin; it was the first coin they had ever earned on their own!

At this moment, Wang Sanlang and Wang Silang quickly stuck the candied hawthorns on.
