Chapter 17 Let’s eat tofu instead

Ye Ning laughed and reached out to pinch her nose.

Hearing this, Da Ya and the others also looked at her with longing eyes. Yes, yes, they are all rich now and can afford tofu!

"Let's go, I'll take you to Uncle Wang's place to buy tofu."

Ye Ning led Cheng Miaomiao, followed by a bunch of tails, and turned a corner towards the east of the village.

Xiaohuai Mountain is closer to the east of the village, but Xiaohuai Mountain is endless, and the green mountains can be seen at a glance. Compared with the behemoth, Xiaohuai Village is just a small place.

There is an iconic large banyan tree at the east end of the village. It is said that it has taken root here and lived for a hundred or two hundred years.

Elderly people in the village often say that Xiaohe Village should have been called Darong Village instead of Xiaohe Village. However, because the river water was more important, most of the villagers chose Xiaohe Village when naming it.

Uncle Wang's house, which sells tofu, is near the banyan tree, and there are quite a few people who come to buy tofu.

When Cheng Miaomiao and the others arrived, there were several people in front of them. She stood on tiptoes and craned her neck to look ahead. Ye Ning also let her go, only watching her from the side to prevent her from falling.

The woman in front of the queue turned around when she heard the noise and was a little surprised to see them.

"Is this Sanya? The injury will heal so quickly?"

"Now that you have money, why don't you come and buy tofu?"

"Erlang's wife, you must have gained a lot in the mountains these days. Look at the full basket on your back. You are really diligent."

Ye Ning smiled at them and said, "Doctor Zeng is very skilled in medicine. Sanya is almost healed. Isn't this a child who wants to eat tofu, so he brought her here."

The young woman who was walking back carrying a piece of tofu stopped and looked at Ye Ning.

He looked her up and down and said mockingly: "Does your family still have this money now? Didn't you pay for it all to Cheng Wulang? Don't pretend to be fat and get scolded by Aunt Zhao again when you go back."

This man was dressed better than most of the villagers, and had a beautiful red silk flower on his head.

Cheng Miaomiao felt a sense of malice in her body.

She puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction, raised her head and looked at the woman, and said softly: "Auntie, can you please give in? You are too big and are blocking our way."

Zhou Xing's face changed slightly.

The people nearby laughed softly for a moment.

Ye Ning also laughed softly.

She tapped Miaomiao on the little head, looked at Zhou Xing, and said politely and distantly: "Thank you for reminding me, but this is my family matter and has nothing to do with you. Please give me a break."

"It's hard to persuade a ghost who is about to die."

Zhou Xing snorted coldly, turned around and left.

After she left, no one stopped to find fault. Instead, they started asking questions around Miaomiao's intact head. Dr. Zeng's medical skills were really amazing. It was amazing that he could save someone who was about to die after being hit on the head.

Not long after, it was finally Cheng Miaomiao's turn.

When she looked at the white and watery tofu in front of her, her eyes almost overflowed with admiration, and she praised: "Tofu, it's so beautiful."

Uncle Wang was amused by her tone.

He was very happy to receive heartfelt praise for the tofu he made. He smiled and asked, "How many pieces of tofu do you want Sanya?"

Cheng Miaomiao originally wanted to say that she only wanted a piece of tofu, but when she thought about her father, mother, sister, brother, etc., she sadly realized that one piece was not enough at all, and she needed a lot.

"Uncle Wang, I want five pieces of tofu!"

After saying that, she stretched out her hand and asked pitifully: "Uncle, how much does tofu cost?"

Uncle Wang looked at her in surprise, then raised his head to look at Ye Ning and asked, "Do you really want five yuan?"

Ye Ning shook his head and said with a smile: "Just two pieces."

Uncle Wang sighed, raised his knife and separated out two pieces of palm-sized tofu, packed them for her, and said, "A total of two cents."

Just as Ye Ning was about to take the money, Cheng Miaomiao quickly pressed her hand back.

"If you don't want grandma, I have it."

As she spoke, Cheng Miaomiao took out two copper plates from her waist and reluctantly handed them over. Uncle Wang saw that her smart little expression was very interesting, so he joked and said with a smile: "If you have other things, you can also bring them.

Change."

Huh?

Is it possible to buy things for free?

Cheng Miaomiao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he tilted his head and asked, "Can eggs be used too?"

Uncle Wang said: "Okay, one egg and two pieces of tofu."

Daya and others were also very excited. They didn't expect the eggs to be so valuable. They unanimously decided to exchange the eggs for tofu!

Hearing this, Ye Ning did not stop their actions, but just stood aside and watched.

Cheng Miaomiao immediately turned around and looked at the pillar standing at the end, put his hands on his hips and said: "Brother Zhuzhu, please return my little backpack to me quickly. I want to exchange an egg for tofu!"

Zhu Zhu didn't want to return the backpack to her, but because Da Ya and the others were staring at him eagerly, they had to take it off reluctantly.

Uncle Wang was also surprised when the bright white and round eggs were taken out.

Uncle Wang hesitated, looked at Ye Ning and asked, "Hey, these eggs look very good, do you really want to exchange them?"

Ye Ning smiled and explained: "These are wild eggs they picked up on the mountain. They make their own decisions."

So I really exchanged eggs for tofu.

Cheng Miaomiao happily carried the tofu. Whenever someone asked about it along the way, she would tell them how they picked up a nest of wild eggs on the mountain and took them to Uncle Wang's house to exchange for tofu.

By the time they got home, half the village knew about it.
