Chapter 133: Observing

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Rumors spread throughout the village like the wind. The people in the old residence were so embarrassed that they didn’t dare to go out, let alone cause trouble for the eldest branch of the Ning Family. Xiaoxiao and her family lived a peaceful life and ended their busy spring planting peacefully. From now on, they just had to go to the fields from time to time and pay attention to the water level. They didn’t have to work until autumn harvest.

Ning Dalang began to revise at home every day and only waited for mid-May to participate in Bowen Academy’s entrance examination. Rong Yan had nothing to do, so he often discussed knowledge with him when he came to the Ning Family for a meal in spring. Sometimes, he would even lend books to him to read. Xiaoxiao heard from her brother that he had gained a lot. After the farming was over, they did not mention anything about cooking separately.

Time passed especially quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was already the first day of May. Big Brother had to prepare for his exams these few days, so Xiaoxiao did not let him come to the county. Second Brother wanted to accompany her, but she pushed him to the stall.

Although the income from setting up a stall was not much now, Xiaoxiao did not ask Ning Erlang to do this for that bit of copper coins. Moreover, she was already so familiar with the county. Why did her brothers need to accompany her?

It was inconvenient for her to buy anything wantonly, okay?!

First of all, she had to go to the blacksmith to get the custom-made mold. The food and drink of a rich family were not only reflected in the ingredients and taste, but the shape had to be exquisite. Hence, the snacks she wanted to make for Shen Tianci could not be made simply by holding a bowl upside down. Moreover, some things had to be cooked at a high temperature in the future. The small porcelain bowl could not withstand that temperature.

Without her brother’s nagging, she ordered five flower-shaped molds in one go. She also asked for a flat-bottomed deep-mouth mold that was slightly larger than a soup bowl. She wanted a bottom that could be separated from the edge. Finally, she wanted a large iron box that could store the previous mold and still have space.

The iron equipment was not cheap. Three taels of silver were gone in an instant. The things were a little heavy. She got someone to send them to the Ruyi Clothing Shop and bought some smokeless charcoal. She also sent them to Shopkeeper Liu, preparing to take them home when Second Brother closed the stall.

She blindly guessed that Second Brother would not allow her to play alone for the time being after seeing this. She simply bought a pile of flour, eggs, and meat dishes, thinking that she would be happy for as long as she could.

When she appeared at the Ruyi Clothing Shop with a large pile of things, Shopkeeper Xu was said to have already drunk two cups of tea. He cupped his hands and bowed to Xiaoxiao. “Miss Ning, please forgive me. It’s really not that I’m deliberately delaying. It’s just that the boss has been busy these few days and doesn’t have time to care about news from Xijiang County for the time being.”

Xiaoxiao could understand. After all, he was a big boss who opened a shop in the capital. In a small place like Xijiang County, she naturally had to wait.

She waved her hand to show that she did not care. She also got 20 taels of silver from Shopkeeper Xu to buy seasonings for the next month. “I can earn money anyway. If I delay for another half a month, I might even be able to gather enough money to open a shop myself.”

Shopkeeper Liu poked her head angrily. “You’re so ambitious.” After saying that, she couldn’t help but sigh again.

Xiaoxiao asked her curiously, “How many times have you sighed today?”

The honest Shopkeeper Xu counted with his fingers and replied, “The fifth time.” Shopkeeper Liu covered his mouth angrily.

Xiaoxiao was also convinced. He deserved it for not being able to woo the beautiful sister. “What exactly made you so unhappy?”

Shopkeeper Liu could not be bothered to put on an act in front of her. Her usually gentle and beautiful facial features were ferocious. “It’s all because of those idiots in the Imperial Capital. They told them that this zodiac event was a preemptive move, but they said that they wanted to wait and see!”

Shopkeeper Liu downed the tea in his hand and slammed the table angrily.. “What’s there to watch? By the time they’re done watching, the replicas in the other shops would have been made long ago!”
