The two children turned and ran into the yard, calling out, "Mom, Mom."

"There's something delicious, and we want to eat something delicious."

Then I heard a voice: "You only think about eating every day. I think you two are the reincarnation of hungry ghosts."

There is a hint of pampering amidst the anger.

After a while, a woman dressed in gorgeous satin and with a beautiful and dignified face came out. She looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

Her eyes swept over Qiao Jianer, who was wearing gray patched clothes and holding a chipped jar.

I thought to myself that this little beggar came from nowhere and I would just give him a few copper coins to get rid of him.

“Where are the people selling food?”

"Mom, this is the sister." The girl poked Qiao Lianer with her little finger.

The lady was surprised for a moment, then immediately became alert and frowned.

"Little girl, what do you want to eat?"

It was suspected that they were human traffickers who sent a weak little girl to lure her child away with delicious food.

Qiao Jianer knew that the woman suspected her, so she didn't explain.

He raised the jar in his hand and said, "Madam, what I have here is a mountain treasure, which is more fragrant than ribs and chicken. The young master and the young lady have already tasted it. Madam, please try it too."

The woman was still asking what smelled so good. Now it was certain that the fragrance was coming from the jar, stimulating people's taste buds.

She couldn't help but secretly sniff twice.

It smells so good that I can’t help but think about it.

He turned his head and gave a wink, and immediately two men came to the front door. They were tall and strong, with their arms folded.

"Are you okay with this thing?"

"Madam, my home is in Qiao's family in Datian Village, ten miles away. If you have any problems, you can send someone directly to find my family. There are more than a dozen people in our family." Qiao Jianer said sincerely.

The other party's attitude made her uncomfortable, but there was no way, she had to lower her posture in order to survive.

As she spoke, Qiao Jianer picked up a piece of chicken mushroom leaf and said, "Madam, you'll know after trying it."

The woman took a good look at the girl in front of her. Her black pupils were clear and bright, full of sincerity.

She took it and put it in her mouth.

If she had any problems with the child, the little girl would be held down immediately.

After chewing it twice, he was stunned and felt as if his soul was numb with fragrance.

Mrs. Han was stunned for a few seconds before she came to her senses.

She found it incredible that there was such a delicious food, but she had never tasted it before.

Just as he swallowed this mouthful, Song Jianer generously brought him another piece.

"Here, I'm sorry to eat yours for free. How about this? I'll buy everything in this jar."

Mrs. Han felt a little guilty. She suspected the girl, but she was kind and treated her sincerely.

"How much? You make a price."

Song Jianer said, "One or two taels."

One tael of silver was equivalent to one thousand wen, which was equivalent to one thousand yuan in her time. The price she asked for was actually too much. This jar could be sold for five hundred yuan in the world she came from.

Mrs. Han laughed. She thought that something as delicious as this would cost ten taels.

"How about this, I'll give you two taels."

Qiao Jianer was delighted and thanked him calmly.

There was a hint of admiration in Mrs. Han's eyes. This little girl was poor, but she was neither humble nor arrogant, and had some pride.

"But my family is large, and this jar is probably only enough for one meal. Little girl, do you still have this? When will you come back to sell it?"

Mrs. Han thought, eating one meal every day, or at least one meal every two or three days, would be too good to be true.

"Actually, there are a lot of them, but this kind of thing is not easy to make." Qiao Jianer sighed helplessly.

"How to make it?" Mrs. Han asked quickly.

"It needs to be fried with a lot of oil, and after frying, it needs to be soaked in oil and kept for a longer time so that it won't go bad. I don't have any oil at home, so I really can't get it." Qiao Lian'er lowered his head, looking a little sad and helpless.

"If you have oil, send five pounds directly to Madam next time. There is only one pound in this jar."

"So that's what you're worried about. Oil is a piece of cake. I'll provide it to you. All you have to do is fry it and sell it to me."

After hearing such detailed explanation, Mrs. Han almost believed that there was nothing wrong with the little girl.

Qiao Jian'er curled the corners of her mouth imperceptibly, her goal was achieved.

After a while, two servants came out carrying a jar.

"There are about 20 kilograms of oil in here. Let me know when you're done using it," said Mrs. Han.

Twenty kilograms, I have to say, wealthy families are very generous.

Qiao Jian'er politely said goodbye to Mrs. Han and left carrying 20 kilograms of oil. The heavy load made her, who was thin and sick, hunch her shoulders, but she felt indescribably satisfied in her heart.

I went to the seasoning shop again and bought enough soy sauce, salt and vinegar. After thinking about it, I went to the pork shop and asked for five pounds of lean pork.

Thinking of the injuries on my mother's legs and feet, I went to the pharmacy and bought three plasters. Each plaster cost two hundred coins and was enough for two days.

As for her own illness, it was due to being too hungry and weak. The magic water would work and she would be fine after a while of recuperation.

After all, one tael of the two taels of silver was spent, and the remaining one tael was saved first.

Qiao Jianer found some rags and put them in the backpack.

She was walking down the street carrying a heavy basket on her back, and people who saw her would tease her.

"Little girl, you picked up a basket of rags? Look how hard it must be for you to carry it."

Qiao Lian'er turned pale and ignored him.

She bought two meat buns and left Qingshui Town while eating them.

She had to go home quickly in case someone wanted the things in her backpack.

But it was too tiring to carry more than 30 kilograms of things, and the sun was scorching above her head. She was out of breath as she walked, so she stopped and sat on the side of the road. She looked into the space and a little bit of the magic water squeezed out. She drank it, and her body had more strength, so she continued on her way.

"Dad, it's delicious. Thank you for buying it for me. I have never eaten it before."

A child's voice sounded from behind, with a flattering tone.

Qiao Lian'er thought the voice sounded familiar, and when he turned around, he saw that it was Song Rui'er and Song Lao'er who had gone out to the street and were also on their way back to the village.

Song Ruier was holding a string of candied haws in his hand. The candied haws melted easily in the sun, so he was very careful and reluctant to lick the melted part.

Looking at Song Lao Er, his eyes were full of admiration of the younger generation for the elder.

Song Lao Er's face was serious: "Then who will you be filial to when you grow up?"

"Of course it's Dad and Mom. I only have Dad and Mom in my eyes."

Song Lao Er nodded with satisfaction.

Qiao Jianer turned around and pretended not to see it.

But Song Rui'er saw her. Seeing her bent over by the weight of the basket, she rolled her eyes and said, "Sister Jian'er."

As he said this, he gave Song Laoer a wink and ran towards Qiao Lianer.
