Chapter 49 is very popular and very powerful

  At dawn, when the sun had not yet risen above the horizon and the orange morning glow was still scattered across the sky, the Chen household presented a completely different picture.

  Several boys were ready to go, and the adults had also prepared their tools. Since it was the first day, even Chen Jia's busy eldest and second child came out in full force. However, upon closer inspection, someone was still missing.

  "Xi Mei, aren't you ready yet? If not, we'll leave first!" Zhao shouted into the house. As soon as he finished speaking, Xi Mei stumbled out of the house, holding a small umbrella in her left hand and a hastily put-on blouse in her right hand, with a small calabaza hanging from her chest.

  This comical getup successfully dispersed the anxious atmosphere of the family, Xue Shi went forward to help her tidy up her hair and curiously asked: "Xi Mei, why are you preparing so many things? We're not going to sell things, nor are we celebrating a holiday."

  You guys don't understand, do you? On a hot day like today, we don't even have a ride. When we went there, the sun hadn't risen yet, so it was cool and comfortable. But when we came back, it was during the hottest part of the day, almost dying from heat.

  For girls who love beauty, it's absolutely unacceptable to get sunburned under such a big sun, so holding an umbrella is to block the sun.

  As for the small calabash in her arms, haha, this was specially wrapped around Chen Tian and given to her to make it more convenient to drink water. Who has ever seen a lady holding a bowl on the street and drinking water loudly?

  So she's got all the necessary tools for traveling at home, after all, a grown-up should be a beautiful and elegant lady, right?

  "Alright, after hearing Xi Mei's explanation, the women couldn't help but burst out laughing. "You're still a lady? You're completely like a little hussy, this point is quite similar to Young Master Zhang. Alright, alright, it's getting late, we should be off."

  It's time for you to leave, everyone has been ridiculed by you, poor her fragile little heart has already turned to mush.

  Chen Tianfa saw Xi Mei standing there with a worried and melancholic expression, stopped in his tracks, picked her up from under the armpits and put her on his shoulders, "Hold tight, we're leaving."

  Zhao's family hurriedly wanted to put Xi Mei down, "You still have to push the cart, how can you carry her? She's so heavy! Come and let me put her down. At her age, she should be walking properly instead of being lazy all the time!"

  How fat is she? Fat? Fat? Alright, my little heart has been hurt again. Mother, although you're concerned about my father, don't expose others' shortcomings. Where is she fat? She's still very slender, isn't she?

  Alright, she admits there's a bit of flesh involved, but it's not as serious as Zhao said, is it?

  Chen Tianfa just smiled good-naturedly, "It's okay, I still have the strength to carry her for now. When I get tired later, I'll let her walk on her own."

  Can't help but say, this spoiled daughter's father is just short of picking stars from the sky for her. Xi He's eyes turned red as she said, "Hmph, Father is biased, Father has never carried me on his shoulders before!" Her face full of resentment and injustice.

  "Who said your dad didn't carry you? When Xīmèi was young, you weren't always on your dad's shoulders. I still remember one time when your dad carried you to the grocery store to buy things, and when he came back, you had peed all over his body. There are still many people who joke about this with your dad."

  After hearing what Big Aunt said, Xihe's face suddenly turned bright red. Ximei was still laughing on her father's shoulder, "Haha, Third Sister is so shy, she's still pissing in her father's neck, haha, I'm dead!"

  Chen Tianfa, who was in a hurry, reminded Xi Mei, "Girl, sit tight and don't fall off, and if you want to pee later, remember to tell Dad, don't pee on Dad's body again, today Dad doesn't have time to go back and change clothes."

  "Haha, got it, Dad. I'm not Third Sister, and I won't let you bully me." The shameless Third Sister laughed as she said this, infuriating Xi He to the point where she wanted to grab her down, luckily Xi Ju held her back or else a terrible scene would have ensued.

  Just as they were chatting and laughing, they arrived at the town. After bidding farewell to the He family who were going to sell cooked food, Zhao was instructing Xi Mei on what to pay attention to, what things cost, which made Xi Mei impatiently reply, "I know, Mother, you've repeated it several times already, am I that stupid?"

  After finishing speaking, she turned around and walked away on another road. Zhao's wife cursed with a smile, saying "This little girl."

  They followed a few people to the west of the city, why they went to the west of the city was something that Rui Xuan and his son had observed before, there were more people coming and going in the west of the city, mostly some early risers who came out to find work as laborers or builders.

  These people work hard every day and are very tired, they eat a lot but can't afford to be too expensive, so this is the most suitable for them. Chen Tianfa and Chen Jiage put down the car, moved out the tools and tables and chairs, Zhao Shi and Xue Shi quickly brought down the bowls and chopsticks and the large pot with tofu brain and tofu brain sauce.

  Xi Ju swept the floor around clean and quiet, and put the tables and chairs in order. What was Xi Mei doing at this time? Ha! She was standing with her hands on her hips supervising over there.

  As the crowd around her grew larger, Zhao took a deep breath and loudly called out, "Come quickly to take a look! Freshly made tofu brain buns have just come out of the pot. Everyone come try some, everyone come take a look!"

  After shouting, it did attract a lot of curious onlookers, but since it was something new, nobody dared to be the first to try it. As time passed, more and more people gathered around, yet no one wanted to give it a shot. Watching as the sun slowly rose higher in the sky, Xi Mei couldn't help but feel a bit anxious.

  She glanced at her second brother, who was stuck in the crowd watching the commotion with everyone else, and her younger sister sincerely said "idiot". However, an idea suddenly flooded her mind.

  Sneaking into the crowd, she pulled at Ruihao's clothes, and under his puzzled gaze, led him out. Then, she signaled for Ruihao to crouch down, leaned in close to his ear, and chattered on for a long time.

  "Got it memorized?" Xi Mei asked worriedly. Ruihao scratched his head, answering awkwardly, "I remembered it, but why do I have to?"

  Sister Xi shook her head, "There's no time to explain so much now, Second Brother, just do as I say." Dang dang dang, not bad, Sister Xi thought of using a proxy.

  After a moment, the two of them pretended to be very casual and squeezed in. Xi Mei jumped onto the stool with a loud whoosh, but didn't succeed. In the end, she only managed to get on with Er Ge's help. Alas, Xiao Ya's imposing manner was greatly reduced.

  "Second brother, I want to eat tofu brain, that one is delicious I want to eat."

  At this time, Ruihao curiously asked "Sister, how do you know this is tofu brain? We can't eat bad and get a stomachache, when we go home, mom will still scold me."

  "No, no, I want to eat. Brother, you haven't had it before. That time my mother and I went to grandma's house, my uncle who just came back from the capital made some for me. He said this is something that can only be found in the capital, many high officials eat this there." Xi Mei tilted her head and gestured, her small face full of innocence.

  "Are you sure this is what you ate?" Ruihao asked in doubt. "It's this, it's this, just like the one my uncle gave me, and the taste is the same too. I want to eat, I want to eat." He used his spoiled expression.

  "Alright, alright, I'll buy it for you." Ruihao reluctantly pulled out four copper coins. "Auntie, give us two bowls, right? The ones that cost two cents each?"

  Zhao was confused by the two of them, listening to their nonsense for half a day. When did she have an older brother in Beijing? And how could she become a "big sister" in just one day? These two kids wouldn't behave themselves if they weren't punished every day.

  Just as she was about to take a step back and collect the two of them, Xue Shi grabbed her from behind and smiled at Ji Mei and said: "Alright, our tofu brain is coming soon, you two wait a bit." After that, she pulled Zhao Shi to go get things.

  Watching Xue's instant understanding, Xi Mei let out a deep breath, fortunately there was a second aunt here, otherwise it would have been exposed.

  After a while, the tofu brain arrived, followed by two big white buns. Xue Shi smiled with a kind face, "Today we just opened for business, these buns are on us, enjoy them and come back again."

  "Alright, alright, I know, the big sister is really good." Ruihao had already started eating without hesitation. Everyone watched as the two children scooped up some white, fluffy stuff and put it in their mouths. The smaller one looked particularly satisfied, as if savoring a delicious dish.

  An unknown fragrance wafted through the air, mixed with the aroma of the buns, making the people around involuntarily swallow their saliva, especially when they saw the boy devouring them, someone immediately lost their composure.

  Finally, a sturdy man shouted, "Damn it, I don't care if the two kids ate something that's no big deal. How can I, a grown man, not dare to eat it? Boss, give me two bowls of this tofu thing and another catty of baozi."

  Finally, someone has taken the first step, and Xi Mei secretly rejoiced, her eyes narrowing into a slit. The onlookers saw that both of them were fine, and the big man was eating happily mouthful by mouthful. Someone in the crowd couldn't hold back anymore.

  "Boss, give me a bowl of this too." "Boss, I want some too." For just two cents, they could eat something that was only available in the capital city, which was really impressive. They could also show off to people around them when they got back, and most importantly, it smelled really good.

  So you took turns eating a bowl each, Xi Mei saw that her goal was achieved and pulled her brother to a less crowded place, if not now then when?

  They were surrounded by a crowd of people, and the chrysanthemum sisters were also busy for a while. Haha, money, come into my arms quickly.

  By the way, thank you to all the little friends who come to read Da Ni's book every day, and those who voted for me and collected my works. I won't write too many cheesy words, in short, I will continue to work hard, love you guys!
