Jing Chunxi sat by the window, looking at the bustling streets downstairs, feeling both anticipation and a hint of nervousness.

Selling grain, negotiating business, and dealing with various merchants all required her to come in person. Her first step was to sell grain, starting with the grain brought from Qingshan Manor.

She'd thought about it along the way. Jiujiang was short on food, and besides waterways, Ezhou was the primary land route. So, the food prices in the two areas were definitely related, and logically, the difference shouldn't be too great.

But she couldn't take anything for granted. That was why she had to find out the prices at the grain store tomorrow.

"Miss, dinner is ready. Do you want to have it in your room or go downstairs?" Chuntao knocked on the door and asked softly.

Jing Chunxi said without thinking, "Let's go downstairs. Let's take a look at the night view of Ezhou City."

The meals ordered in advance were nothing special. They were all ordered according to Jing Chunxi's usual preferences. The taste of the food they cooked was a little different from the one at home, but it wasn't bad either.

After dinner, they went shopping.

Located in the south, we only wear slightly thicker autumn clothes in November.

The night in Ezhou City is even more lively than the day. Lanterns are hung high on the street, illuminating the entire street. Vendors shout and sell all kinds of snacks.

Tang Shuang was a greedy person. Even though her stomach was full, she still wanted to buy food whenever she saw it. Chun Tao stopped her several times.

But her eyes were always fixed on the street stalls, and her nose was sniffing the aroma of food like a puppy.

"Greedy cat, there are hollow cookies over there, go buy some quickly."

"Master, you are so kind."

On the way back to the inn, Jing Chunxi still wanted to satisfy Tang Shuang's craving, which made her so excited that she flew out immediately.

The hollow biscuit was highly recommended by the inn waiter during the meal, who said it was a specialty snack in Ezhou City.

The hollow cakes are round, yellow, crispy and crunchy, and are in the shape of convex hills. You can smell the fragrance coming from the stall from far away, and they look very crispy, so they must be delicious.

While Tang Shuang was waiting for the uncle to spread the pancakes, her eyes never left the golden and crispy hollow cookies. Her eyes lit up and she could hear the sound of her own saliva swallowing.

Frosting: "Master, let me try it for you first."

As soon as the uncle finished packing it and handed it to her, a hot hollow cookie went into Tang Xing's mouth. Her impatience was a bit embarrassing. She must have burned her tongue, so she had no time to breathe, and she was reluctant to let go of the crispy and delicious food.

She couldn't help but squint her eyes, looking very happy, as if the whole world was beautiful.

Jing Yi and Jing Qiurong were told before they left home not to eat anything of unknown origin, and sometimes even to try it with small animals before consuming it. These instructions were meant for the attendants, and Tang Shuang now considered herself a food-testing mouse.

"Frosting, you should also follow the rules when you go out."

Chuntao was so angry that she went up and pinched Tang Shuang.

Jing Chunxi wasn't worried about the safety of the hollow cookies. They were new here, and no one had any grudges against them, so no one would poison them for no reason. And the uncle fried the cookies fresh and sold them, so he wouldn't tolerate any tampering.

Chuntao was so angry that her teeth were itching: The young lady hasn't eaten the frosting yet, but he ate it first. It's really rude.

Tang Shuang's ears were in pain, but he was reluctant to put down the hollow biscuit in his hand. He just looked at Chun Tao aggrievedly and quickly stuffed the oil paper bag in his hand into Chun Tao's hand.

I look like a naughty boy, saying, "Even if you're angry with me, I don't care."

After putting the second bite into her mouth, Frosting mumbled for a long time: "Master, it's really delicious. Can you buy a few more?"

This made Chuntao angry again. But she couldn't do anything with the oil paper bag in her hand, so she could only put down the icing sugar, give one of the hollow cookies to the young lady, give one to Xiaoman, and keep one for herself.

After eating the hollow cookie, Tang Shuang looked at his empty hands in a daze, then looked at Jing Chunxi expectantly, as if he wanted to buy more.

"Look how many people are queuing up behind you?" Chuntao was so angry that she wanted to pull her to turn around and look, but her one hand was not strong enough to pull her away.

There were five or six customers queuing at the hollow biscuit stall at the back. They might have to wait for a cup of tea before it was their turn to buy anything.

Feeling that the food in his stomach had not been digested yet, two small bites would be enough. Jing Chunxi broke half of his hollow cookie and handed it to Tang Shuang.

The little girl was afraid of hunger when she was young, and wanted to eat everything she saw. Jing Chunxi never treated her badly.

Unexpectedly, Chuntao on the opposite side saw it and immediately snatched it away, causing Tangshuang's outstretched hand to miss.

Tang Shuang and Jing Chunxi said at the same time: "What are you doing?"

"What are you doing?"

Chun Tao snatched the hollow biscuit and put it in her mouth, taking a fierce bite. Then she squinted her eyes like Frosting, looking very satisfied: "Delicious!"

Frosting's eyes widened and she was so angry: "You're annoying!"

Wow wow wow, you stole my cake, which was given to me by my master. I'm so mad.

Everyone thought Chuntao was angry and refused to give Tang Shuang the food, but she took the second bite from Jing Chunxi's hand and handed him an oil-paper bag: "Eat it, greedy cat."

Her tone was still unfriendly, but she gave Frosting a complete hollow cookie.

This made Tang Shuang want to cry, and she reached towards Chun Tao with her greasy paws and said, "Sister Chun Tao, you are my real mother."

The greasy claws were so dirty that people couldn't bear to look at them. Jing Chunxi was afraid of being affected and stepped back repeatedly. Chuntao was not happy at all and struggled to break free, cursing, "Who is your mother? Don't make me unable to get married."

"No!"

The two people got into a fight.
