Ginger, malt sugar, taro, plum, salt, bay leaves...

There were all kinds of sacks and bamboo baskets piled up in such a dazzling array that it was dizzying.

However, with current technology, most of the processing is simple, but the value lies in the natural taste.

Especially the Yi, which gave her a great surprise.

The boss was a very hospitable middle-aged man. Seeing Lin Qing staring at the candy without blinking, he knew that she was interested in it. Regardless of whether she bought it or not, he took a small bamboo spoon, scooped some into a small plate and handed it to her.

"Ma'am, please try it. Whether you buy something or not, you're a customer. Don't worry, the dishes have been washed and are very clean!"

Lin Qing didn't doubt these things. After all, seeing that the shop was neatly arranged and dust-free everywhere, she knew that the owner must be diligent and clean.

She just felt that the other party was a small business and she felt embarrassed to let him spend money.

The boss continued to promote it enthusiastically: "This is our shop's signature dish. The raw materials are not simple malt. I also specially added rice and honey."

This aroused Lin Qing's interest. Unable to refuse the kind offer, she took the small plate. After tasting it, her eyes lit up.

It is sweet and fresh, smooth in the mouth, and not too sweet that will make your throat sore.

After asking the price, she was even more pleasantly surprised.

It can completely replace white sugar as an ingredient for sour jujube cake, but the price is nearly half cheaper!

Lin Qing was so excited that he immediately decided to buy two kilograms. He walked around and chose, and after looking around, he found that there were no peppers here.

After asking the boss, a look of confusion appeared on the honest man's face.

"To be honest, I've been in the seasoning business for a few years now, but I've never seen or even heard of the spicy, spicy peppers you're talking about. But we do have spice fruit here, which has a slightly numbing flavor. You could try it."

Lin Qing's mind was stirred. She thought to herself, why not buy some chili seeds at the mall? Maybe that could be another way to make money...

But the timing is obviously not right now. We can only wait until we have completely solved the problem of food and clothing before we can study these cash crops.

Lin Qing bought a lot while thinking and choosing, which made the boss, who was not open today, very happy. In the end, he not only gave him a discount, but also gave him a lot of extra gifts.

After paying the bill, the boss was surprised to see Lin Qing stuffing everything into the basket.

This lady's basket looks like an ordinary bamboo basket, and it's tattered. How can it hold so much?

The miscellaneous items she just bought weighed at least two or three pounds. His hands were sore from packing them all, so how come the lady's basket was still not full?

And she carried it effortlessly. Could it be that she had some magical power or could perform magic?

The boss naturally didn't know that Lin Qing's bamboo basket was just a cover. She had already put the things into the storage space.

Are you kidding? It's such a heavy thing and she doesn't have any strong labor around her. She can't let herself get tired.

That is, due to the lack of storage space, she only put the five or six heaviest items, otherwise it would be much easier.

There is a cloth shop a few steps north from the seasoning shop. After Lin Qing went in, he found that there were not only cloth but also ready-made clothes.

Most of the ready-made clothes are men's, but neither the color matching nor the style is to Lin Qing's liking.

Seeing that the sky around him was getting dark, Lin Qing didn't bother to choose carefully. He just picked up two pieces of cloth that looked good in texture and pattern, quickly bargained for the price, paid the bill and left.

When she reached the fruit stand, several children were already waiting for her. Seeing her struggling to hold the cloth, they came over to help from a distance.

Lin Qing rubbed his aching waist and thought to himself that it was indeed a torture to go shopping without eating enough.

"Children, it's late today. We can go see the house together next time. How about we go home now?"

Gu Sihe had long been dazzled by the town's colorful world. When he heard Lin Qing say that she wanted to go home, he felt a little reluctant. Only after Gu Ermiao patted his head did he pout and agree.

"Mom, the candied haws are delicious. I want to eat them again next time I come."

"Then I'll go home and make you some sweet candied potatoes. How about that?"

Gu Sihe's attention was instantly diverted, and he jumped after Lin Qing: "Mom, what are candied potatoes? Are they sweet or salty?"

Lin Qing looked towards the fruit stand but didn't see Zhao'er. Gu Ermiao naturally knew what his mother was thinking and said, "We didn't see her when we came here. I don't know what's going on."

"Then let's wait a little longer."

It was boring to wait and wait. I wanted to go to Boss Tu’s fruit stall to play for a while, but it seemed that his business was more prosperous after the renovation, so I had to give up.

Lin Qing found an open space, squatted down, drew a chessboard with a few strokes, and taught the two children how to play Gobang.

The two children had never seen these things before and found them very novel.

Especially Gu Sihe, every time he thought he was about to win, he found that his mother had already blocked his way out.

But he was a playful and inexperienced man, so he wiped off the chessboard and said unconvincedly, "Let's play again!"

Gu Ermiao said with a giggle: "Come on, come on, Mom is tired, I have already finished my apprenticeship, so let me play with you!"

At first, it was just the mother and her two children playing, but gradually people started to watch. Some discerning people saw the trick after watching a few games. Those who did not follow the rule of watching chess in silence saw that Gu Sihe was at a disadvantage, and hurriedly spoke out to give him guidance.

Songyang Academy is closed tomorrow. After class, many students went out to buy things. Seeing the commotion at the city gate, they thought something had happened. Before the leader could ask, a lackey volunteered to come over to find out the news.

Seeing that someone was playing chess, he was obviously relieved and kicked someone on the periphery. Without waiting for the other party to question him, he spoke first:

"Didn't you hear the order from the county magistrate? The rice and flour that the Jia Mansion has been giving out these past two days are all sent from other towns. If the officials who came with us see you poor people gathered together, what will they think of our Anping Town? Why don't you just go home right away!"

When everyone saw the person coming, wearing the uniform of Songyang Academy and acting so arrogantly, they knew that he must be the son of the county magistrate's lackey. They were afraid of getting into trouble and quickly scattered.

In a flash, only Lin Qing and her son were left in the crowd. Lin Qing looked up at the lackey who was very satisfied with his deterrent power, and found that he was wearing the same school uniform as Gu Changqing, and frowned slightly.

With such behavior, how can he be like a disciple of the emperor who studies the books of sages?

It is said that birds of a feather flock together. I wonder what will happen if we send Da Mao here. Should we reconsider this?

Just as she was thinking, the group of people behind her were already walking towards her.

The leader was a handsome young man who walked in a square step. He had a handsome face and looked like a banished immortal.

Holding a folding fan, he wore a snow-white straight-collared long gauze robe over his academy uniform. The clothes draped very well, making him look like a growing bamboo.

She wore a wide belt embroidered with golden auspicious clouds around her waist, and on the left hung a piece of fine black jade with a simple and solemn shape; on the right hung a sachet with intricate colors and exquisite patterns embroidered on it, emitting a refreshing and pleasant aroma.

It was as if there was a ball of snow behind me, and only when I got closer could I hear the compliments coming from the snow.
