I, Sun Shan, and the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1586 Lantern Festival (4)

After walking a few steps, the chubby girl spotted the stall selling pig's feet.

He shouted anxiously, "Brother, pig's feet! There are pig's feet over there!"

As he said this, a faint trace of saliva appeared at his mouth.

The chubby girl stared intently at Hu Ming's wallet. Now that Hu Ming was a big spender, she kicked the stingy Sun Shan away.

Hu Ming also saw the pig's feet stall, and a faint aroma wafted over.

He said to Sun Shan, "Godfather, my sister wants to eat pig's feet. Let's go eat over there."

The chubby girl was overjoyed and clapped her hands happily: "Brother is so good, eating pig's feet. Xiaoxiao loves eating pig's feet the most."

Whoever provides the milk is the mother; at this moment, Tiger Roar is the babysitter in Little Fatty's heart.

Little Black Girl also loves to gnaw on pig's feet. She looked longingly at the pig's feet stall and whispered, "Brother, pig's feet are delicious. Little Black Girl likes to eat them too."

Sun Shan shook his head helplessly. Little Fatty and Little Blackie looked like big gluttons; it seemed they couldn't resist eating the pig's feet.

The group quickly moved to the pig's feet stall.

Sure enough, the aroma of braised pig's feet wafted over, no wonder this stall attracted so many people.

Gui-ge held Xiaofei-mei tightly and exclaimed, "Shan-ge, the people of Yuanlu County really love to eat pig's feet. It's such an expensive meat, yet they're willing to buy it to eat."

Although pig's feet have large bones, they are still meat, and the price is considered expensive for ordinary people. No, actually, it's expensive even for Sun Shan, and he can't afford to eat them every day.

Unfortunately, I have a big eater at home, so I have to step up even if I can't handle it.

Sun Shan was stunned when he entered the stall.

The stall owner was also taken aback.

Wow, I never expected to run into an old acquaintance while eating pig's feet.

The stall was set up by Zhang San and Li Si, along with Zhang's younger sister, who was Li Si's wife.

Li Si ran over excitedly, staring at Sun Shan with wide eyes, and said, "Lord Sun, you're here to go shopping too?"

Then, pointing precisely at the little black girl, he said, "Sir, is this Miss Sun? She looks just like you."

He then muttered to himself: Rumor has it that Lord Sun married a very fat wife and had a daughter with a big head and big ears.

It seems the rumors aren't true. Look at Miss Sun, she's dark-skinned and petite, just like Lord Sun. Where did that fat head and big ears come from?

Then, as I was thinking about it, something felt off. I glanced at a chubby, fair-skinned little girl.

Oh my, she's like a little fairy from a New Year's painting, so cute! I wish I could have a daughter like that someday.

He paused, pointed at the chubby girl, and asked timidly, "Sir, is this...is this also Miss Sun?"

Where exactly is Miss Sun? Could someone please come and confirm?

Is the rumor true?

I'm so eager to know the answer.

Online, urgent!

Sun Shan said expressionlessly, "This is my daughter."

He then pointed to the little black girl: "This is his daughter."

Li Si knew Gui Ge'er and knew that Xiao Heimei was Gui Ge'er's daughter.

He couldn't help but nod: "Hehe, Brother Gui, your daughter looks just like you."

Then, against his conscience, he turned around and said, "Sir, Miss Sun is so cute, she looks exactly like you, and she's very lovable."

Sun Shan: ......

If it's so obviously fake, do you think anyone would believe it?

Little Fatty: ......

It's good to say I'm lovable, but it's only me who's lovable, not my father.

The world is vast, but nothing is greater than eating pig's feet.

The chubby girl sniffed the air and stared longingly at the pig's feet coated in the braising sauce: "Pig's feet, delicious! Xiaoxiao wants to eat pig's feet."

Before Li Si could react, Zhang San stepped forward first.

He bowed and scraped, saying obsequiously, "Miss Sun, my family's braised pork trotters are delicious. Please sit here, I'll serve you some."

Although the little chubby girl spoke in the Guangnan dialect, her expression of "longing to eat pig's feet" was unmistakable.

Zhang San had already instructed his sister to quickly prepare a table and thoughtfully laid out a clean tablecloth, repeatedly inviting Sun Shan and his group to sit down.

Honestly, Sun Shan has no intention of sitting down.

But the chubby girl was already seated and said sweetly, "Uncle, pig's feet, Xiaoxiao wants to eat."

He held out two palms and ten chubby little fingers and said, "I want ten pig's feet."

There were a total of 9 people on this trip. While others ate one, Little Fatty wanted to eat two.

The numbers were calculated clearly and precisely.

Zhang San couldn't understand what the chubby girl was saying, but he could clearly see her fingers.

He scratched his head sheepishly and said, "Okay, 10 pig's feet, they'll be here soon, just wait a bit."

Zhang San hurriedly went to prepare the pig's feet, while Zhang Xiaomei even prepared a plate of melon seeds to serve.

He smiled shyly and said to the chubby girl, "Miss Sun, have some melon seeds."

The chubby girl shook her head: "I won't eat it, it doesn't taste good."

It's not that they "don't taste good," it's just that eating sunflower seeds is difficult; you have to crack them open, and it's hard for a chubby girl to do that.

Zhang Xiaomei got anxious, thinking that Xiaofeimei didn't like eating sunflower seeds.

She hurriedly went to the stall next door and bought three small sugar figurines, asking timidly, "Miss Sun, do you like them?"

The chubby girl really liked it, and happily accepted the little sugar figurine: "Xiaoxiao likes it, thank you!"

Little Black Girl likes it too.

Only Hu Ming shook his head: "Auntie, there's no need to give it to us."

Hu Ming's classmate is a native of Yuanlu. He is not yet fluent in the local dialect, but he can understand and speak a little bit of it.

Zhang Xiaomei panicked again, thinking that the young master looked down on the cheap sugar figurines, and suddenly felt extremely awkward.

Seeing this, Sun Shan smiled and said, "Huming, this is from your aunt, take it."

Hu Ming always listened to Sun Shan, but Xiao Tangren thanked him.

Zhang Xiaomei breathed a long sigh of relief and went off to get busy.

Zhang San and Li Si quickly served pig's feet to Sun Shan and his group.

Sun Shan asked in confusion, "Why are you setting up a stall?"

Zhang San smiled awkwardly and said, "Sir, it's the Lantern Festival, and I'd like to set up a stall to earn a few copper coins."

Sun Shan nodded understandingly, then asked, "Li Si, aren't you a peddler?"

Such a great time to sell goods, why not go and sell them?

Li Si said helplessly, "Sir, I also want to sell goods, but unfortunately, I need to set up a stall. Alas, there are too few stalls available. By the time I want to set up another one, there aren't any left."

After a pause, Li Si added, "Sir, could you please add more stalls next year? There are too few this year; it's a scramble to put up a stall."

Sun Shan laughed and said, "Wouldn't it be better to go earlier?"

Li Si shook his head: "My brother-in-law lives far away. If he knew about setting up a stall, there wouldn't be any spots left."

Li Si originally bid to sell goods, but went to discuss selling pig's feet with Zhang San. When he returned, the stall was already gone.

After much deliberation, Li Si decided to sell pig's feet. After all, who in Yuanlu County doesn't love to eat them? He only had copper coins in his pocket, so he had to order a serving of pig's feet.

Goods can be sold anytime, but if the pig's feet miss the Lantern Festival, not as many can be sold.

Zhang San and Zhang Xiaomei were busy doing business, while Li Si kept Sun Shan company and boasted.

No wonder he could be a peddler; he's so eloquent, his mouth never stops moving.

Sun Shan suggested, "Li Si, if you have free time, you can go to Da Niao Village to sell goods. The villagers there have work to do and their lives are not bad."

Li Si looked at Sun Shan with a puzzled expression.

Gui Ge'er explained, "Li Si, don't you know Big Bird Village? It's the bird droppings fertilizer workshop. It's a bit far, but the villagers there can make money."

Li Si's eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh hard.

He exclaimed in surprise, "Oh dear, how come I didn't think of that? Thank you for reminding me, Lord Sun."

It doesn't matter how far the journey is, as long as I can make money, it doesn't matter where I go.
