When a few thick-necked people got involved, no one dared to stop in front of the stall, for fear that they would be entangled as soon as they bought something.

The mother and daughter looked at the people coming and going, but they were not too sad.

"Come on, go home."

Fortunately, they don't rely solely on this money to make a living, and the ox cart is still waiting outside the city gate. If they delay any longer, they will have to walk back to the village today.

Cui Zhaozhao shuddered and remembered that he still had things to buy.

"Mom, please wait here for a moment. I'll be back soon."

I just gave some food to the butcher at the meat stall for sampling, and saw a whole rack of ribs on the chopping board. Ribs can't be sold at a high price here, and no one would buy them, so they haven't been sold in a while.

She was going to buy some pork ribs and then go to the grocery store to buy some seeds.

When the butcher heard that she wanted ribs, and a whole slab, his expression was quite strange.

After confirming again and again that what she wanted was spareribs, he sold them to her at the price of twelve cents per pound and gave her two large ribs for free.

Normally, no one wants these.

Cui Zhaozhao paid the money and asked the uncle at the meat stall to help him cut the meat into strips.

The iron pot at home is big enough, so it’s really satisfying to hold a whole fish and eat it.

After cutting the ribs, Cui Zhaozhao happily handed them to his mother, picked up the cloth bag and went to the grain store.

Lin looked at the ribs that filled half a basket and smiled and shook her head.

At this moment, a voice not far away called out tentatively, "Aunt Lin?"

Lin looked up at the sound and saw a man wearing the clothes of a constable standing a few steps away.

She recognized that this man was Jingwen's friend. It was he who helped her find the escort agency when she went to Lindong County last time. His name seemed to be... Li Shi.

"Aunt Lin, it really is you. I've been walking around the West Market several times every day these past two days. I've been waiting for you to come."

Li Shi stood in front of the stall, his sturdy figure was like a small mountain, but his tone was aggrieved.

Lin couldn't help but laugh: "It's my fault. Something happened at home, so I was delayed for two days. I just happen to have some side dishes here. You can take them back and eat them."

While speaking, Lin took out the bamboo tube that had been put into the basket.

Judging from his appearance, if he hadn't waited any longer to set up the stall, he would probably have chased us all the way to Xiahe Village.

"Only four barrels?"

Li Shi weighed the bamboo tube and felt it was light. Not giving up, he leaned over to peek into the basket.

Lin smiled and showed him the empty basket. "I wanted to test the waters today, so I didn't make much. You can eat these four first. I'll bring some more tomorrow."

Li Shi spoke cheerfully and without any contempt, speaking to Lin as if he were a junior.

Lin recalled that when her son was in school, he would often bring his good friends to her house for meals. Most of them were boarding students and could only go home once every two weeks. When asked what they wanted to eat, they would grin and say they wanted meat.

The half-grown boys are all big eaters. Every time the group of children come, she cooks meat in different ways, frying, stewing, roasting, or whatever she is good at.

The group of children were very considerate and sat at the table and ate their food with their heads down.

Whenever I see this picture, all the fatigue after being busy is swept away.

......

Lin naturally regarded Li Shi as a good friend of her son and unconsciously said a few more words.

"What? Six barrels were sold in just half a day?!" Li Shi yelled in dissatisfaction, and with the clothes he was wearing as a constable, his voice drove away the passers-by.

The confused vendors on both sides were also startled and quickly packed up their stalls and moved to the side.

At the same time, I was worried about Lin.
