When the two men approached, Su Zhiyan quickly stepped forward and greeted the old man leading the cow: "Uncle Wei."

The old man leading the cow heard the voice, looked carefully, and when he saw who was coming, he immediately smiled and said loudly:

"It's Xiao Su. I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you going to town today?"

After saying that, he saw Su He standing next to Su Zhiyan. She looked a little unfamiliar, and he was sure in his heart that it was a girl he had never seen before. However, Su Zhiyan did not say anything, and he was tactful enough not to ask.

Seeing the old man Wei's doubts, Su Zhiyan nodded at him, pointed at Su He who was standing beside him, and spoke softly:

"Yes, this is my niece. Is there enough space in this car?"

Every market day, Mr. Wei would wait for customers at this intersection, and only when there was a carload of people would they go to town together.

Su Zhiyan used to go to school in town and often took his car, so they were quite familiar with each other.

"That's enough. I'm only taking you two. Get in the car. We'll leave now."

Old Man Wei liked Su Zhiyan, who looked very polite. He had ridden in his ox cart before, but he hadn't seen him for a long time.

Su He, who hadn't ridden a ox cart for many years, took a while to get used to the bumpy ride.

In modern times, riding in a car is usually smooth and fast, but this ox cart was swaying and there were many people on it, so Su He just felt it was bumping up and down.

Although his butt was a little sore, it was much better than walking, so he held on to the backpack and closed his eyes to rest.

An unknown amount of time had passed before Su Zhiyan gently patted the back of Su He's hand. Su He slowly raised his head and opened his eyes.

She saw that the ox cart had stopped at the city gate, and the people on the cart had dispersed. Now only she and Su Zhiyan were left.

Su Zhiyan got off the car, took out two cents and handed them to Old Man Wei.

He turned around and picked up the backpack on the ox cart, waited for Su He to slow down, and prepared to go to the busiest market.

"I will still be here at the latest (15:00). If you want to go back by ox cart, just come here directly."

Old Man Wei waved at Su Zhiyan and asked them to pay attention to the time.

Because the journey is long, if I go back late, it might be dark when I get home.

Su Zhiyan nodded to Old Man Wei. He had been on this bus before and knew the time when Old Man Wei would have to drive back.

"Let's go. There must be a lot of people in the market at this time. Let's go there early and find a good spot."

Su Zhiyan appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually a little uneasy in his heart. This was his first time selling things, and Su He was still young, so he should take on the responsibility of selling these dried fruits.

Su He didn't know at this time that her uncle was also experiencing some inner struggles.

Su Zhiyan was good at reading and writing, but he still felt a little embarrassed to sell things on the street, and he had never done such a thing before.

Su He followed Su Zhiyan along the street for about an incense stick of time, and Su Zhiyan in front finally stopped.

Su He also heard bursts of shouting, one after another.

This should be the market in Sifang Town. It is so lively.

Su He looked around and saw that there were quite a lot of people selling things in the market. They were probably villagers from nearby areas who came to the market, as well as some servants from the mansion who came out to buy things.

There are home-woven bamboo mats, baskets, bamboo fans, wild fruits picked from the mountains, and home-made embroidery, almost everything you can think of.

"Uncle, there's a spot over there, let's go over there."

Su He saw an empty seat not far away and quickly called out to Su Zhiyan.

They left home relatively early today, but they didn't expect that there were already so many people at the market. It seemed that their village was too remote, and they wasted a lot of time walking to the next village.

After the two men put their things in place, people passing by just glanced at them and walked away.

Su Zhiyan looked at the people coming and going in the market, but no one stopped for them. He was very anxious, but he didn't know what to do.

Seeing many people around waving their arms and constantly selling their things to passers-by, Su Zhiyan nodded, but finally couldn't open his mouth.

This is too difficult!

Su He observed the situation around him for a while and saw that obviously no one stopped to look at them, not to mention that no one knew what they were selling.

Su He took a deep breath, cleared his throat, put his hands together like a trumpet at his mouth, and shouted:

"Come, come, come and have a look. These sour and sweet fruit rolls are sweet and appetizing."

"Children and the elderly love to eat it. Everything they eat tastes delicious."

"Everyone come and take a look. You can taste it for free."

Su He's screams made Su Zhiyan couldn't help but look sideways. In his impression, this little niece had always been bedridden, and even before, she always followed her second sister-in-law timidly.

After I got better these few days, not only my skills have improved, but my courage has also increased.

Before Su Zhiyan could come to his senses, people immediately surrounded him and Su He.

"Little girl, what is this thing called a fruit roll?"

"Little girl, is this really a free trial?"

"You really don't charge any money?"

Su He saw that their stall was full of people, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face. He smiled at everyone and responded crisply:

"Really? Try it for free, and buy it if you like it."

After saying that, she picked up the dried fruits that she had prepared and cut into small pieces and handed them to everyone.

The people around them just felt that the little girl in front of them was smiling and looked harmless, and their guard was immediately put down.

After hearing Su He say that they could indeed try the fruits for free, they immediately became interested and started eating the dried fruits that Su He handed over.

"Mm, it's really good, sour and sweet, and has a fruity flavor."

"Yes, it tastes better than the ones in the snack shop."

"What did the little girl say this was called just now?"

Su He smiled slightly, and when he heard someone finally asking, he started to explain:

"This is called a fruit roll. It's made with fruit, so it has a fruity aroma."

Su He gave the dried fruit another catchy name.

"Not only can this be used as a daily snack, it can also stimulate appetite and help digestion. If there are children or elderly people at home who have poor appetites, eating some of this will stimulate their appetite."

When everyone heard this, they began to discuss it.

"That's good. My kid has been making a lot of noise lately and hasn't eaten much. I'm really worried about him."

"My daughter is the same. The weather has started to get hot recently. She can't eat anything I cook."

Su He listened with a smile and nodded in agreement.

"How much is this? I want to buy some for my daughter. It's good as a snack."

An older sister standing at the front had just tasted it and thought it tasted pretty good. It just so happened that the girl at home had a poor appetite recently, so she bought some fruit rolls for her.
