The party that day ended in a bad mood.

After Wei Miao returned home, Xu Ayu discovered the wound on his face. Wei Miao just said, "What's wrong with a little wound on your face, boy?"

Xu Ayu burst into tears.

Now she was detained at home and not allowed to go out before the New Year.

Wei Miao had no choice but to share the change Xu Ayu gave her with Wei Ling and the others, and asked them to buy snacks from the people who set up stalls at the entrance of the alley during the New Year.

"Big pot, look, there's a guy selling crab shells at the entrance of the alley, six for ten cents."

Wei Ping trotted into the side room and saw her elder brother reading a book in front of the brazier.

Wei Miao looked up and saw the little girl wearing a red jacket with red ropes tied around her two pigtails, which made her look like a young girl.

Wei Ping passed the crab shell in her hand to Wei Miao's mouth, smiled with her tiny teeth and said:

"Big pot, you eat."

A unique aroma mixed with ghee and wheat lingered at Wei Miao's nose.

Wei Miao looked down and saw that the little girl still had one in her hand, so he opened his mouth and took a bite. The skin was so crispy that it crumbled, and the inside tasted sweet.

"Big pot, is it sweet or savory?"

The little girl's clear eyes seemed to be waiting for a very important answer.

"Sweet."

Wei Ping lowered her head and looked at the one in her hand that had not been bitten, in confusion.

Crab shell yellow is made of pastry and flour into a flat round cake, which is then sprinkled with sesame seeds and baked on the wall of the oven. It is hollow inside and has a crispy skin.

It is so crispy that it crumbles when you take a bite. Because its size and color are like the back of a crab shell, it is called "crab shell yellow".

The vendors selling crab shell roe will make it in two flavors, sweet and salty, and bake them together, and sell them randomly.

Therefore, guessing the taste has become the most important part for children.

If anyone gets to taste the sweetness, he will be envied.

"How about we switch?" Wei Miao suggested.

Wei Ping looked at the crab shell yellow that had been bitten half off by the big pot, her face full of confusion.

This made Wei Miao smile with dimples.

Let her take that half crab shell and go out to play.

After the little girl went out, Wei Miao discovered that there was a whole crab shell roe on the small table where she placed the teacup.

Wei Miao felt warm in his heart and picked it up and took a bite.

"Big pot, what does it smell like?"

The little girl's round head poked out from the crack in the door, her eyes still full of anticipation.

Wei Miao swallowed the sweet biscuit and frowned:

"Salty."

Wei Ping covered her mouth and giggled, then raised the sweet suggestion that Wei Miao had asked for before and said:

"Big pot, I want to trade with you?"

Wei Miao waved his hand, finished the palm-sized cake in three or two bites, and said to her:

"There's nothing to change, go and have fun."

Wei Ping nodded, skipped away, and soon her boastful voice could be heard in the yard.

"Ah Miao, Mr. Lu is here."

Wei Ada, who had just returned from outside, holding radishes and cabbages in his hands, shouted towards the window of the side room.

When Wei Miao went out, he saw Lu Pingsheng standing in the yard wearing a suit and a black windbreaker.

"Ah Miao, can you do me a favor?"

While speaking, Lu Pingsheng winked at Wei Miao.

Xu Ayu, who had just come out of the kitchen, said with a smile:

"Mr. Lu, the New Year is only three days away. Your family is not preparing New Year's goods."

Wei Ada said to her: "You are confused. Mr. Lu is the young master of a wealthy family. Why should he worry about those things?"

Xu Ayu clapped his hands and smiled, "That's right, Mr. Lu is very approachable. I always forget that he has a lot of wealth and servants."

Lu Pingsheng chuckled and said, "Aunt Ayu, my mother can't cook half as well as you, but she always makes a dish every New Year, and my father and I have to eat most of it. I am very afraid of the New Year."

Xu Ayu was amused by his funny appearance and laughed happily.

"Aunt Ayu, I want A Miao to do you a small favor and bring it back to you in the evening. If there is a delay, I will also send someone to tell your family."

Xu Ayu glanced at Wei Miao and thought about how she would be so well-behaved if he didn't let her go out for a few days, as she really wouldn't leave the house. He immediately softened his heart.

"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Lu."

After getting on the car, Lu Pingsheng, who had been smiling all the time, looked gloomy.

"Ah Miao, there are two things to do today. One is to go to Charles Trading Company to ask about the specific situation of the goods."

Wei Miao nodded. This was what she thought when she returned home that day. But Xu Ayu cried when he saw the long cut on her face. She was more willing to comfort Xu Ayu's heart than money.

"What about the second thing?"

Lu Pingsheng was silent for a while, then he said carefully: "There is a banquet tonight, I would like to ask you to be an interpreter."

Seeing Wei Miao looking at him, Lu Pingsheng quickly said, "One hundred dollars."

When Wei Miao heard about money, his eyes lit up, "Can it be exchanged for small yellow croaker?"

Seeing that she didn't even ask what the meeting was about, Lu Pingsheng started bargaining and scolded with a smile:

"Little money-grubber."

Wei Miao pursed her lips. She liked wealth anyway. What did it have to do with being greedy or not?

When I came to the trade center again, the arrogant man who was there the first time was no longer there. This time, Ellie personally greeted me at the door.

Charles saw the two people come in, stood up and laughed:

"Oh, my friend, long time no see."

Lu Pingsheng stepped forward and gave him a warm hug, and Wei Miao stretched out his hand to shake hands with him.

Several people sat on the sofa in the reception area next to them. Ellie brought a cup of fragrant coffee and still gave Wei Miao a glass of orange juice.

"Luka, my friend, you have been so busy lately that you have no time to come and see me. I am very sad."

Charles showed great welcome to this big customer.

Lu Pingsheng handed a box in his hand to Charles, "Mr. Charles, the Spring Festival is coming soon, this is a gift for you."

Charles' eyes lit up. He knew that the Lu family was in the antique business, and the things they gave away would definitely not be of bad quality.

Sure enough, when he opened it, there was a tri-color ornament inside, with bright colors and lifelike appearance.

"Oh my god, this is so beautiful. I heard that this thing is very expensive in Europe. Luka, my friend, how can I repay you?"

Wei Miao looked at the thing in Charles' hand in surprise, and met Lu Pingsheng's half-smile.

The two of them lowered their heads in tacit understanding, one drinking coffee and the other drinking orange juice.

Lu Pingsheng started the conversation only after Charles calmed down.

"Mr. Charles, can you tell me for sure what happened to our goods?"

Speaking of goods, Charles also put away his smile and looked at the two people in front of him with a complicated expression, "You are really smart businessmen."

Lu Pingsheng accepted Charles' "compliment" calmly.

"Don't worry, although the value of this batch of goods is comparable to gold, I guarantee in the name of the Charles family that everything will be carried out according to the contract."

Wei Miao sighed in his heart, as expected, there are no secrets in Shanghai. They had sold sulfa drugs in large quantities before, and the side effects of hyping sulfa drugs have begun to appear.

It is unknown whether the cake that everyone covets can be kept in the end.
