She even gave me ten more on purpose. It was really difficult to buy candied haws so early in the morning. If I didn't know the news, I really don't know how long it would take me to run.

But she didn't want to break her promise to the child.

"Oh, girl, there are ten extra copper coins." The old lady was also an honest person. After counting, she wanted to return it to Jiang Yunchu directly.

Jiang Yunchu smiled and said, "Auntie, I'll have to trouble you to take us there later. These ten copper coins are your errand fee."

If she goes there as a stranger, people will inevitably become suspicious, which will be inconvenient.

It would be better to let the aunt take it there so that she can know the whole story and solve the problem quickly.

She wanted to go home early.

"Oh, it's no big deal. Go cook noodles first." The old lady was delighted. She met the God of Wealth as soon as she went out and got ten copper coins for free. She could go back and buy a candy man for her grandson.

There are quite a few people at this noodle stall, but there are only two people, an old man and an old lady. The old man is mainly responsible for making the noodles, while the old lady is responsible for cooking the noodles and cleaning up.

The two people have cooperated very closely for a lifetime.

"Wang..." Shadow was about to speak, but when he saw Jiang Yunchu's eyes, he immediately swallowed his words back.

The princess's eyes just now were filled with murderous intent. He...

"I ordered noodles, everyone sit down and eat." After returning to Kyoto, everyone else was sent back. Shadow brought seven people and twelve little ones, a total of nineteen people.

Including her, there are exactly twenty bowls of noodles.

In a short while, the noodle stall was full.

"Sister Wang." Jiang Yi really didn't know what to call her.

But it seems impolite not to address him.

Sister Wang?

What the hell kind of name is this?

Jiang Yunchu smiled helplessly, "Just say it directly."

"We can go back and eat. Food outside is too expensive." This is the capital of Daning Kingdom. He just heard that a bowl of noodles like this costs five copper coins.

Uncle Wang Han took them to a small market, where a bowl of noodles cost only three copper coins.

It's a huge difference.

It was only three copper coins a bowl, and he had never eaten it.

Jiang Yunchu looked at these children who were swallowing unconsciously. Each of them was swallowing, but their eyes were clear and they were not even staring at the pot of cooking noodles.

"It's okay, Sister Wang will treat you." Jiang Yunchu couldn't help but said jokingly.

Jiang Yi's face turned a little red. He just called her Sister Wang.

"Girl, the noodles are here. These are all your children." The old lady chatted casually.

The girl looked ordinary in her clothes, but her clothes were better than those dozen children. It seemed that her family was well off. However, the clothes worn by those children were a bit tattered.

The lady's expression didn't change. They have been doing business for many years, so they can chat, but they shouldn't ask questions that they shouldn't ask. They just need to cook their noodles honestly.

"Yes, my child." Jiang Yunchu agreed very calmly. Anyone who didn't know would think that what she said was true.

The twelve children understood all of this, and even the youngest, Jiang Twelve, gave Jiang Yunchu a shy smile.

Jiang Yunchu couldn't help but reach out and rub her hair.

Jiang Twelve is still young, so he can be a companion to Yueyue.

Yueyue is four years old, and Jiang Twelve doesn’t know her exact age. According to Wang Han’s guess, she should be around five years old. However, due to lack of nutrition over the years, she is very thin and looks a few points younger than Yueyue.

"They are all grown so beautifully. Now that the noodles are ready, let's eat them quickly." After the old lady said this, she turned around and went back to cook the noodles.

After a while, a few more old customers came in, "Sister-in-law, business is good today."

"That's right, my sister-in-law's business is not going well one day?" The old lady smiled warmly, her voice full of sunshine. Although she lives an ordinary life, she is a very open-minded person.

"Here it is, your large portion of hot noodle soup." Before the old customer could say anything, the old lady brought over the hot noodle soup.

Jiang Yunchu looked at the twelve little ones eating noodles carefully and smiled softly. She didn't eat much, but she drank a lot of noodle soup, which was hot and relieved the pain in her stomach.

It's the fourth day and the pain is still there. I don't know how many days it will last.

"Girl, I see you have all finished eating, and I have fewer customers. My old man can handle it by himself. Can I take you there?" The old lady wiped her hands and walked over.

"it is good."

The group of people stood up, and three or four tables of noodle stall, which had been full just a moment ago, were suddenly empty.

"Zhang Laosan, Zhang Laosan?" the old lady called out a few times.

A voice came from the room immediately, "Sister-in-law, come in."

"He has difficulty moving around, so his food is bought by his neighbors. He also relies on his skills to exchange for some food and other things." The old lady introduced as she walked inside.

"This girl, I want to buy some candied haws. Please make them for me." The old lady spoke quickly. When she saw Zhang Laosan when she entered the room, she started talking directly.

The house is very shabby, but you can tell that the owner is a very clean person. The house is kept very clean, without any of the slovenliness that one would expect from a person living alone.

"Okay, okay, how many do you want? For so many children, we need at least three." Zhang Laosan looked at the group of children and said with a smile.

Jiang Yunchu shook his head and said, "Give me fifty first."

"If it tastes good, I'll give you fifty more."

I have many children at home, and there are also those little teachers from Ningguang Academy. Although they are called little teachers, they are not very old and are still half-grown children.

"So many? The hawthorns I have stored are not enough!" Zhang Laosan smiled bitterly. These were all bought by neighbors or exchanged for something.

He could sell a few strings in three or two days, which was just enough to keep him half full. Anyway, he was a useless man and didn't do much labor, so he could survive by eating half full.

But there are fifty of them at once. Where can he find hawthorns?

"Hey! This is not easy to solve." The old lady slapped her thigh.

"Girls, I'm going out to get hawthorns. You wait here."

"Zhang Laosan, I will close the stall with the old man soon. I am here to help you. You have finally got the job, don't push it away."

This lady was a quick-witted person and she agreed to the task right away.

"Sister-in-law..." Before Zhang Laosan could finish his words, the old lady had already run out.

Although he is old, his legs and feet are still very nimble.

Jiang Yunchu couldn't help but smile. She looked around the house. She just saw that the house was clean, so she decided to buy it here. If the house was not clean, she would not dare to buy the things made there.

Zhang Laosan had a lame leg and had to hold a small stick and move on the ground while half-lying down.

"Did you carve these things?" She looked at the things on display. They were wooden carvings. There were birds, some small flowers, and grasshoppers, all kinds of them, arranged in a row. They looked vivid and lifelike, as if they were real.
