In the book, I was fed by my sister

Song Ran delivered the goods to the store, and Boss Jia came out quickly to check the goods. There were eighty-nine in total.

"Come, count the money. It's two hundred and sixty-seven coins in total."

Song Ran took the string of copper coins and held it in his hand, feeling heavy.

"Boss Jia, I'll leave these two empty bamboo baskets with you. I'll come back to get them after the market."

"Okay, girl! There's one more thing. Can you help tell Aunt Gu if she can make lotus-shaped lanterns? Recently, many of our merchants have been asking about lotus lanterns."

Song Ran nodded and agreed: "No problem."

Su Xiaoxiao followed Song Ran. She planned to sell ice jelly, but was a little hesitant about the price. When she saw that the lanterns without paper could be sold for three cents each, she instantly became full of confidence, as if she could become a wealthy woman in Lihua Village.

Song Ran looked at the silly Su Xiaoxiao and said, "Xiaoxiao, we are going to the market. Where are you going?"

"Me? Of course I went with you!" Su Xiaoxiao answered with a smile.

Before Song Ran even stepped into the market, someone called her enthusiastically: "Miss Song, what new stuff do you have today?"

Song Ran and her younger sister have been here quite often these days, and the neighbors who often come here to buy groceries are all familiar with the sisters.

Song Ran stopped and responded with a smile: "Sister-in-law Fang, we have one last basket of mushrooms today. I have to take a break for ten days after selling them all. We also have fresh cucumbers and lentils. Would you like some?"

When the aunt heard that Song Ran was talking about the last basket of mushrooms, she felt itchy in her heart, but the price was really expensive.

Nowadays, beef costs thirty-seven or thirty-eight, the fattier pork costs thirty-one or thirty-two, and the leaner pork costs twenty-eight or twenty-nine.

A pound of mushrooms is almost as expensive as meat.

However, the taste is really good. It is so delicious that it makes people linger in the aftertaste. My family members are discussing that when the price drops, they must buy three or five kilograms and enjoy it.

Oh, should I buy it or not?

Aunt Fang was just hesitating whether to buy or not, when the fat aunt of the Yu family came over with a smile on her face: "Miss Song, what a coincidence, I met you before I even got to the market, do you have any mushrooms today?" The fat aunt smiled like Maitreya Buddha, her family was in business, and she was very generous with food.

Ever since she bought mushrooms from Song Ran last time, she has become a frequent customer here. Even if she doesn't buy mushrooms, she will buy some other dishes.

"Yes, Sister Yu, but today is the last one. I will have to wait for a long time before I can come again next time." Song Ran said as he removed the pumpkin leaves covering the mushrooms.

"Hey, what's the matter? What happened at home?"

When they get together, they love to chat. If they meet an acquaintance while buying vegetables, they can stand at Song Ran's stall and talk for a long time. Song Ran got familiar with these aunts, so they would pull her over to chat.

After a few visits, they knew almost everything about the number of people in the family and the family financial situation.

"It's okay, the mushrooms we distributed are sold out, and we have to wait for the next batch to grow for ten days or so." Song Ran replied with a smile.

"Okay, then I have to be more satisfied this time!" said the fat aunt of the Yu family with a smile.

Song Ran no longer squeezed into the market. According to the speed at which she sold things in the past few days, she could sell out in less than an hour.

Su Xiaoxiao watched Song Ran put down the basket, and the crowd immediately surrounded it like bees. She raised her lips and also got busy nearby, setting up her own stall.

She took out the cloth and stool from the backpack very lightly and spread the cloth on the stool as if performing a magic trick. She also took out a few cracked earthen bowls from the backpack. Although they had holes in them, they were her borrowed treasures.

Then, she put out the earthenware kettle, and the stall was complete!

She poured the magical water from the space into the kettle, and took out a large basin of crystal clear ice powder from it.

She did all these things quietly, for fear that someone would find out and think she was a monster. She even prepared two bowls in advance in case someone would look through her backpack on the bus.

When Su Xiaoxiao took out the water, Song Li felt its unique attraction, and her heart had already flown to Su Xiaoxiao's stall.

Song Ran's two baskets of mushrooms and green beans were sold out, but no one was interested in Su Xiaoxiao's ice jelly.

Song Li pulled at her sister's clothes, blinked her eyes and said, "Sister, can you give me five copper coins?"

Song Ran looked at Su Xiaoxiao, then at his younger sister, and understood what she meant, so he counted out five copper coins to her and said, "Go ahead and talk to Sister Xiaoxiao."

Song Li walked up to Su Xiaoxiao and pointed at her as she was thinking hard. "How much is a bowl?"

Su Xiaoxiao said, "Little ghost, do you want to drink it? Alas, I can't sell it, so I'll give it to you to try."

"How much is a bowl?" Song Li asked again.

Su Xiaoxiao scooped a spoonful of ice powder, poured it into the ground spring water in the space, and handed it to Song Li: "Take it, smile more at me in the future, I won't charge you."

Song Li: ...

Song Ran came over and said to Su Xiaoxiao, "Just accept it. She is a very stubborn person."

Su Xiaoxiao sighed, "Alas, Ranran, I can't sell even one.

"Didn't a few people just come to ask you?" Song Ran asked puzzledly.

Su Xiaoxiao pouted and said, "I did ask, but he only asked a few questions and then left.

Song Ran asked, "How much do you sell a bowl for?"

"That's a bit expensive. What are you selling?"

Su Xiaoxiao poured a bowl for Song Ran and said, "Try it. It's called ice jelly, and it's a kind of cold drink."

"I'm not sure what the price is, but I just saw that rabbit lantern was selling for three cents each, so I think five cents would be more appropriate."

"That's because the solar term is coming soon, otherwise it wouldn't be sold at ordinary times. Do you know how much a bowl of white flour costs in the city? Only five cents a bowl." Song Ran implied that it was a bit expensive to sell this bowl of cold drink at five cents.

"Then try it and see how much it's worth."

Song Ran tasted it and said, "It's a little sweet and cool, but the taste is a little bland."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "Yes, a little bit. If you add brown sugar water and some chopped hawthorn, it will taste better."

The two were discussing the ice jelly recipe, while Song Li, who was standing beside them, had already finished a bowl.

"I want more!" Song Li felt that the supernatural power was about to emerge from every pore.

So cool!

It’s more refreshing than soaking in a mountain hot spring for a whole day!

Song Ran laughed out loud: "I didn't expect that what you did would be good for her stomach." She rubbed Song Li's head, "It's too cold, I can only drink this bowl."

"Then Ranran, how much do you think it's worth?"

"Hmm..." Song Ran thought for a moment and said, "I think it depends on where you sell it! Look at the women coming and going, they are all here to buy vegetables. Some of them are just thinking about their own food, while others are calculating the expenses for their families."

Su Xiaoxiao clapped her hands: "I know a place. They have been walking for a whole day. They are worried about having no water to drink."

After saying that, Su Xiaoxiao quickly packed up the stall and said, "Oh my god, it's so heavy!"

"Where are you going? Do you need any help?" Song Ran asked.

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head: "No, I'll go sell it myself, you guys just do your own thing, I won't take the ox cart back!"
