Female Farming Pond Fish

After walking for a while, I saw a stall selling Yuanxiao.

Chen Chengbao wanted to eat Yuanxiao. So they all sat down. Each of them ordered a bowl of Yuanxiao.

Chi Xiaotong and the other three hadn't eaten dinner yet, and the snacks they had in the afternoon were almost digested. They were also a little hungry.

The area was full of people admiring the lanterns. Several people sat at a small table, each holding a bowl to eat.

When they had almost finished eating, Chi Xiaotong gave two of the pieces in her bowl to Tian Yu.

"The Wife"

"Shh, eat quickly!" Chi Xiaotong pretended to be mysterious, as if he was afraid of being discovered.

"My dear wife, I have enough to eat!" Tian Yu also followed suit and whispered in Chi Xiaotong's ear.

"Eat it, it's too sweet! I don't like it!"

After hearing what Chi Xiaotong said, Tian Yu continued to eat. After tasting it carefully, his wife said it was too sweet. I didn't think so! It's delicious!

Seeing Tian Yu eating in small bites, and finally finishing all the soup, Chi Xiaotong thought he was so cute!

Everyone's bowl was clean, except Chi Xiaotong. Chi Xiaotong picked up the bowl and took a sip of the soup. It tasted okay. She finished it in a few gulps.

The boss was called to settle the bill. Seven bowls of Yuanxiao, seven cents a bowl, a total of forty-nine cents. Chi Xiaotong paid the bill and the others left together.

"There's a lion dance ahead! Hurry up!" Chen Chengwu was sharp-eyed and called everyone to hurry over to grab a good spot.

This was the first time Chi Xiaotong saw a lion dance in person. The shock was beyond words.

Everyone was watching quietly. A few people found a place with a wide view and stood to watch.

There was thunderous applause. Everyone was attracted and shocked. More and more people gathered around. Chi Xiaotong held Tian Yu's hand tightly to prevent the crowd from separating the two.

Tian Yu carefully protected the fish lantern.

It was not until the performance was over that everyone dispersed. Chi Xiaotong moved and felt her legs were sore from standing.

"Xiao Yu, are you feeling unwell?"

Tian Yu shook his head, carefully checked the lantern, then looked up and said happily: "The lantern is fine!"

Chi Xiaotong smiled and rubbed Tian Yu's head.

There was nothing else to do, so they continued to enjoy the lanterns until very late. Chen Shang and his friends came over. After everyone was together, they went home together.

After returning home, I simply washed up and went to bed. I will wait until tomorrow to discuss anything else. I am too tired today.

……

When Chi Xiaotong opened her eyes, she saw Tian Yu already dressed neatly, fiddling with the lantern he had bought last night.

Since she was not at home, Chi Xiaotong did not stay in bed. She got up, dressed and washed.

I have to go back today. After breakfast, Chen Yu and his family left first, as they still had to work at the restaurant.

Chen's mother also led everyone to say goodbye to Chen Shang's husband. Chen Shang went to work early in the morning.

When he got home, Tian Yu ran around with the lamp, placing it here and there.

Chi Xiaotong just smiled and watched him busy. In the end, he still couldn't find a good place to put it.

Tian Yu sat down dejectedly, stroking the lamp gently with his hand.

Chi Xiaotong went over, picked up the lamp and hung it on the wall.

Tian Yu looked at it and was a little worried: "Will it get dirty?"

"It will gather dust wherever you put it. It's okay. If you like it, we'll buy it next year!"

"No need, this one is enough! One costs so much money!" He muttered softly, but Chi Xiaotong still heard it.

"This time, it will be enough for me to remember for a very long time! I will never forget it for the rest of my life!"

"It doesn't matter if you forget, we can go and see it every year!"

"really?"

"Really? When has what my wife said ever been untrue?"

Tian Yu smiled foolishly, "That's great. I can see such beautiful lanterns every year."

Tian Yu hugged Chi Xiaotong's waist and buried his face in her arms. He said sweetly, "My wife is so good!"

Chi Xiaotong hugged the little person in her arms tightly.

How easy to satisfy! Chi Xiaotong thought.

……

In the next few days, Chi Xiaotong had nothing to do, so he thought about what he could do. He couldn't just sit there and do nothing!

I can’t think of any good solution for now.

Chi Xiaotong decided to buy some wheat sprouts first, then some glutinous rice, and make some maltose first.

I'll go to the market in a few days to see if I can sell the sesame candy.

If you want to do it, just do it. Chi Xiaotong also told Tian Yu about his idea.

Tian Yu agreed: "Don't worry, my wife, I will take good care of the wheat seedlings. I can also help with the production!"

"Okay, let's do it together. We don't need to make too much. We don't know if it will sell well! What if it doesn't sell?"

"I can eat them all!" He was afraid that Chi Xiaotong would think he was greedy or depressed. He added: "It won't be unsalable. The sesame candy is so delicious. I'm sure many people will like it."

"Eat too much and you'll get cavities! And how can it be that delicious?"

"It's delicious. I'm not the only one who thinks so. Sister Chengyu and Chengshan also think it's delicious!" Afraid that Chi Xiaotong wouldn't believe it, he even brought up the Chen siblings.

"Okay, then we'll make more, and if we can't sell them we'll keep them for ourselves!"

"Yes, but my dear wife, what is tooth decay?" Tian Yu tilted his head and asked in confusion.

Chi Xiaotong then remembered that there might not be a word for "tooth decay" here. She explained: "It means that if you eat too much sweets, your teeth will turn black and decay. It will be very painful."

"Ah! Then I don't want cavities!" Tian Yu covered his cheeks in fear.

"Hahaha!" Chi Xiaotong was touched by Tian Yu's cuteness.

"Then don't eat too much sugar, and rinse your mouth after eating before going to bed. Remember?"

"Remember, rinse your mouth."

Chi Xiaotong had never seen toothpaste or brushes in this world. She could only tell Tian Yu to rinse his mouth frequently.

Now that the decision had been made, Chi Xiaotong got up and went to the town to sell things.

She started to ferment the malt right after she came back. Fortunately, she had bought several baskets for making preserved fruits, and now she was using them all for fermenting the malt.

After waiting for a few days, the malt fermented, the glutinous rice was steamed, and the two began to make malt sugar.

It took the two of them less than a day to make a barrel of malt.

Looking at the barrel of malt, Chi Xiaotong felt a headache. There was so much malt, and she had to make it into sesame candy bit by bit.

This is too much workload!

Tian Yu didn't complain at all. He started cooking after breakfast the next day.

Chi Xiaotong and Tian Yu took turns pulling, which was really strenuous. It was too tiring. Chi Xiaotong was also a lazy person. He could only do it bit by bit.

It took a lot of effort to turn all the maltose into sesame candy.

Chi Xiaotong also bought some glutinous rice flour and fried it. She then wrapped it around the prepared sesame candy to prevent the small pieces from sticking together.

At night, the two of them slept very soundly. They were really tired.
