Chapter 34 Little Old Man
"Next."
After Baitao called the next person, he said to the Bai Xiaocao siblings: "There's nothing to be upset about. If you feel you deserve it, please find me more flowers and plants when you rest."
Seeing how much Baitao cared for her sister and brother, Bai Xiaocao's eyes turned red, and she nodded repeatedly with choked eyes: "Yes, aunt, I will do it."
Bai Shitou also stumbled and answered: "I, my aunt, I will definitely do it."
Of course, the Bai Xiaocao siblings were not the only ones who heard Baitao's words.
After hearing this, the others secretly decided that as long as they had the chance, they would find more things that my aunt liked to honor her little old lady.
Bai Tao collected the purple cypress toffee, and saw that the two siblings were still standing aside, looking a little overwhelmed with the cake, and said: "Eat it quickly, it won't taste good if it melts."
Hearing what she said, Bai Xiaocao thanked her again before opening the cake box.
She gave it to her brother first, and then opened another box herself.
The cream on the cake is a cheesy and simple rose, but it is both novel and beautiful in the eyes of both of them.
Holding the small fork that comes with it, carefully dig out a piece and put it into your mouth.
Immediately, the siblings showed shocked and fascinated expressions at the same time.
So delicious!
Soft, smooth, sweet, tender, sweet and soft... Bai Xiaocao didn't know how to describe it, he just thought it tasted a hundred times better than meat.
Although I was already full, I actually thought I could still eat three or four pieces of such pastries.
Even modern people who have eaten it countless times can't refuse the cake, let alone the Bai Xiaocao siblings who have been wandering on the line of famine.
The villagers also noticed that Baitao gave cakes to Bai Xiaocao and his sister. They were curious and no one was jealous.
The siblings' parents died young, so it's not surprising that my aunt loves them so much. What's more, Bai Shitou picked up the stone that my aunt liked, so her aunt was rewarding him.
Bai Xiaocao stopped after taking two bites. She could only take a few bites of such a delicious thing, so she should leave it to her aunt.
Baitao was calculating how many coins he could earn when he accidentally glanced at it and wondered: "Why don't you eat it? Isn't it delicious?"
No, she bought the pudding and strawberry jam cake for more than ten yuan a piece, and it tasted good.
"No, it's delicious." Bai Xiaocao shook his head quickly and said, "It's just delicious, so I want to leave it to my aunt."
"No, just eat quickly. I'm an aunt, can I still be greedy for that bite?"
Seeing that Bai Xiaocao was still hesitant to move, Baitao said again: "I ate too much."
She said to herself, if I want to eat, I can buy an eight-inch chocolate cake.
Then I thought, forget it, one person can't finish the eight-inch one, so let's just stick with the six-inch one.
Bai Xiaocao wanted to say something else, but the next child had already come forward with a bamboo basket, and Baitao was busy giving out toffee to the next child.
In order not to highlight the Bai Xiaocao siblings, anyone with more than 40 purple cypress trees would be given a few toffee and a piece of cloth.
The color of the fabric is not fixed, and the pattern is not fixed either.
The main focus is on which piece of white peach you touch.
Every time the villagers saw the fabrics Baitao brought out, they couldn't help but marvel at how skilled the people who dyed these fabrics were.
The dyed colors of these cloths are so uniform, the patterns are so neat, and the sizes are exactly the same...
Such good materials could probably be sold for several hundred taels of silver, so my aunt just gave them to them. Isn’t it too wasteful?
Baitao didn't know the inner slander of the villagers. As she distributed things, she looked at more and more purple cypresses, feeling extremely excited in her heart. Wow hahaha, so much money~
More than an hour later, Zibai handed in all the things that should be handed out, and then she asked Bai Dashan to find someone to move Zibai into the cave and into the Baifu Ore Cave.
Baitao made a rough calculation and found out that 5.2 coins per meter of cloth were scattered and given to twenty-seven people, costing more than 700 coins.
I gave out about 20 kilograms of toffee, which cost 18.8 yuan per kilogram, and cost 490 yuan.
Including today's three meals, feeding more than 200 people is indeed a big expense.
However, Baitao harvested 4,123 purple cypress trees. After confirming the sale, Baitao almost burst into laughter when he saw an instant extra income of 2,968,560 coins.
Sure enough, there is strength in numbers.
Green mountains and green waters are treasures.
After making so much money, although the villagers didn't know it, they only gave him some toffee and cloth, and Baitao felt a little embarrassed.
I'm not Zhou Bapi, so I'd better buy some more things to share.
While Baitao was thinking, he quickly bought three baskets of wife cakes from the mall and asked Bai Dashan to distribute them.
Milk candies are considered a snack for children, and adults don't like them. As for wife cakes, just a few per person. Eat them if you want, but keep them for yourself if you don't want to eat them.
It's not that Baitao doesn't want to give others, but she can't let the villagers think that she takes out these things effortlessly, although she does.
The villagers looked at Baitao with their wife cakes in their hands, feeling happy and embarrassed at the same time.
They did nothing and ate so many expensive things in one day. My aunt always had them in mind.
When my aunt thinks about the big guys like this, it makes them look even more useless.
Bai Dashan thought for a while, then came to Baitao and spoke in a low voice.
"Auntie, everyone knows how good you are to everyone, you don't have to force yourself."
Three meals a day consist of refined grains and meat. This is something that most people would never dare to think about before.
Especially beef, they can actually eat beef.
That's all, but giving them snacks and pancakes. What a burden this must be.
If you say you are on the run for a life like this, others won’t believe it, right? !
Baitao opened her mouth. She wanted to say that she was not forced at all. Zibai had exchanged nearly three million coins.
But then I thought, if she didn't have this mall, it would be useless no matter how many purple cypresses and white pumice the villagers had.
"I know."
After a pause, Baitao sighed, and said helplessly: "I just want you guys to eat as well and as full as possible."
"Right now we are fleeing from a disaster. Only by eating well can we be strong. Otherwise, if the old ones and the young ones eat and drink less..."
Baitao didn't say anything else, but glanced at the villagers not far away, worry flashing on his face.
She was really worried. In an environment like ancient times where there was a lack of medical treatment and medicine, people of all ages had to travel long distances. It would be good if they didn't get sick.
Bai Dashan didn't know. He relaxed his frown and said softly: "Auntie, we are just afraid that you are too tired."
Speaking of which, in just two or three days, the color and sallowness on the faces of the villagers have lost more than half, and some children even blushed a lot.
Thanks to his aunt, otherwise he wouldn't dare to imagine what the situation would be like now.
