The two women looked at each other. Both of them went out to buy groceries. Neither of them wanted to lose their temper. This was the best outcome.
So the woman asked for a catty, Chen Mu Mu Mu gave her a catty, the woman asked for half a catty, and Chen Mu gave her half a catty.
Because the fish-round looked good and it tasted good, the woman and the woman could not help but take a few out to eat.
The rich fragrance of the fish, the golden color, and the intoxicated look on the faces of the people eating it made their mouths fill with endless praises. Of course, this was the best advertisement. As a result, before the peak of the night when they could buy vegetables, the three jin of fish-round on Chen Mu Mu Mu's stall had been snatched away.
The customers that could not get it could only sigh with regret and asked Chen Mu, "Miss, are you guys still selling fish-round tomorrow? Leave some for me."
"I'll be here around dawn tomorrow. If any of you big brothers and big sisters still want to have a taste, you can feel free to leave." Chen Mu laughed and said, she brought along paper and brush, and wrote down the people who wanted to order fish-round s, then waved goodbye to everyone.
"250 copper coins. Not bad. It's a good start. Tomorrow's business will be even better." Chen Mu Mu Mu gazed at the copper coin in his hands as he spoke with glee.
"Congratulations, your daughter. I didn't expect this item to be so easy to sell." The old man from the next stall said emotionally as he placed a bunch of celery into her vegetable basket. "Take this celery back with you. My wife and I grew it ourselves. Taste it fresh."
Chen Mu Mu declined it, but the uncle insisted: "Your fish-round is so expensive, we took your things previously, if you don't take our food, aren't you looking down on us?"
There was always a way to be polite to others. Hearing the uncle's words, Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu no longer acted pretentiously and thanked him for keeping the celery. Incidentally, he asked: "Uncle, Aunt, I am called Mu, and this is my brother, Xiao Feng. May I know how to address you two?"
"The old man's surname is Zhang. You can call me Uncle Zhang and call her Aunt Zhang." The uncle said.
"So it's Uncle Zhang, Aunt Zhang. Nice to meet you two." While speaking, Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu had already put away the stall and pulled Lu Jinfeng along to take his leave.
"To my surprise, this fish-round is even more popular than I thought." On the way, Chen Mu said the three catties of fish-round was sold out in less than an hour for the first time.
How lucky, how fast.
"As expected, quality is the hard truth."
Lu Jinfeng, who was silent at the side, attacked: "Rare things are precious, the fish-round you sell today, is probably because no one in the town has eaten this before, so it is looking for a moment of freshness. If you eat for a long time, I believe it will be more than just this price." When he saw how her smile froze, he stepped on her again, "Moreover, you are selling at such a high price, I'm afraid they won't be willing to buy it often."
Even though this was the truth, the words that came out of his mouth were so ear-piercing that it made people hate him!
Chen Mu Mu was in a bad mood and he immediately sent a kick at Zhang Xuan. "Shut your crow's beak! My life isn't going well. Are you sure you can recover from it?"
"Words are good for the sick, words are good for the ears." Lu Jinfeng said solemnly, "I'm willing to advise you, because I'm afraid that you won't be able to see through me. It's for your own good."
"F * ck off." She couldn't be a fool.
"Chen Mu Mu, you're too violent. If this goes on, who would dare to marry you?"
"I don't want you to marry me." Chen Mu Mu choked back, when she said that, she suddenly thought of something, and her eyes swept across Lu Jinfeng's body: "I'm just curious, what medicine did you eat wrong today, it's been gloomy and strange all day, can't see me?"
"Who would be happy to see a face like this being tormented like this?" Lu Jinfeng pointed to his own face that was covered in dirt and dust, "It's not like I'm going to some big place, am I that shameful?"
So it was because he was unhappy about this.
Chen Mu Mu smiled, but he didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt. "That face of yours is so attractive that it could attract bees and butterflies. Pushing you into the market would cause the road to become blocked, so how am I supposed to do business?"
Lu Jinfeng said helplessly: "When other people do business, they always want to attract everyone's attention. But when it comes to you, you don't want a good signboard."
"Why should I have a signboard? I open my doors to do business. I'm upright, fair and square, and only rely on my own ability." Of course, this wasn't the main reason. In the future, if there were any factors that could help her in her business, she would try to poach them at all costs. Forest Demoness had been teaching Lu Jinfeng even more frequently in the middle of the night, and Madam Lee was also very preoccupied with things. If she were to release Lu Jinfeng, this sign of life, it would definitely attract some customers who only care about face, but her future life would probably not be safe.
Lu Jinfeng stared at her intently, and then sneered: "Do you think I don't know, you're afraid that I'll be snatched away by other women, you're jealous."
Chen Mu Mu, "... Do you dare to be any more shameless? "
Wang Mu wasn't the type of person to sell a melon.
"Am I not telling the truth?" Lu Jinfeng smiled, his eyes sparkling with starlight, he turned to look at her with a lazy expression, the water in his eyes seemed to be able to drown, "Chen Mu Mu Mu, you insulted me yesterday, you dare say that you don't like me?"
Chen Mu Mu, "..." If she couldn't steal the food, she would be in trouble. It made her anxious.
"Chen Mu Mu." Seeing that she did not say anything, Lu Jinfeng's playful expression froze, and said solemnly: "If you do not mind, I will marry you when you become an adult."
"Stop bullshitting around, who wants to marry you?" Lu Jinfeng's eyes were too beautiful. If he looked at them for a long time, he feared that she would not be able to resist the temptation and rush over, "We are siblings from the same side, it is impossible for us to get married."
"Brother Yi, sister. Who admits it?" Lu Jinfeng said shamelessly, "Everyone in the village only knows that you were once married to me."
Could it be that she had accidentally become a girl that got married twice? Chen Mu's face darkened. "If you keep spouting nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart."
"Is he angry out of embarrassment?" Lu Jinfeng's smile was bright, her black makeup couldn't hide her brilliance, "Actually, I know what you're thinking."
He knows a ghost. Just as Chen Mu was about to retort, a child ran towards her and stopped in front of her.
"Elder sister."
Where did she get such a brother? Even if he was himself, he only had a brother who was five years older than him.
Chen Mu lowered his eyes and observed her for a while. Then, he recalled the little boy who tried to kidnap and sell her for money a month ago. His mood instantly turned bad.
"It's you."
"Big sister really does remember me." The boy was still happy. He looked up at her and said, "Since elder sister remembers me, you should still remember the agreement with my mother, right?"
Chen Mu Mu Mu remembered, of course, that he was the first one to give her a hundred taels of silver when she was in need of money.
Although she now had a hundred silver taels, it was still the first pot of gold. How could she forget? "Where are the patient and your mother?"
Lu Jinfeng was a little worried. "Mu Mu, this mother and son's origins are unknown, don't be rash."
The last time he met the mother and son pair, they didn't have a good impression of Lu Jinfeng. Now that he saw them again, he was even more cautious in his heart.
"Where are the patient and your mother?" Chen Mu Mu Mu ignored him and asked the little boy again.
The most important thing for a merchant was their credit. Since she had received a deposit from someone else, regardless of the patient's condition, whether she could treat it or not, she should go and take a look.
"Big Sis really keeps her word. Come with me." The boy did not bother with Lu Jinfeng anymore. After finishing his sentence, he turned around and walked to the front to lead the way.
Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu naturally followed along, with Lu Jinfeng following closely behind. With a face full of worry, he said softly, "Chen Mu Mu Mu, be careful not to lie."
Chen Mu Mu laughed. "Who would scheme against a lowly commoner like us?"
"Have you forgotten that a few days ago, we were inexplicably robbed and killed?" Lu Jinfeng's eyes flashed with a strange light, "We have no enmity with them, but I have a feeling that they didn't kill us wrongly."
Wasn't it a mistake to kill him? Did she not feel it? She just didn't want to talk about it.
He rubbed his forehead and looked at him deeply. "What are you afraid of? Aren't you still here? Who said yesterday that they would protect me?"
Lu Jinfeng was startled, then looked at her while deep in thought, before finally shutting his mouth.
The boy led them around a few corners and to a small inn in the town. "My mother and Uncle Kang are inside," he said.
This inn was relatively remote and the environment wasn't very good. Even in the evening, there weren't many guests staying there.
He had once stayed in a dark inn before, and Chen Mu Mu Mu still had lingering fear in her heart. Upon entering such a simple and crude inn, her heart involuntarily skipped a beat.
The simple inn also brought up Lu Jinfeng's bad memories, the vigilance in his eyes becoming stronger.
Regardless of what they were thinking, the little boy only cared about leading the way. The path was under his feet. In just a little while, he had arrived at the door of a guest room.
The little boy knocked on the door and said softly, "Mother, Big Sister Chen and the others have arrived."
"Let them in." A girl's voice came from inside. It was hoarse and filled with fatigue.
The little boy pushed open the door, revealing the scene inside.
The guest rooms of an inn, especially such a shabby inn, were naturally not that spacious. The moment the door was opened, the scene inside the room could be clearly seen.
Putting aside the old tables, chairs and furniture, the most eye-catching thing was a woman who looked haggard while sitting on the edge of the bed. The woman looked at the person lying on the bed, and after Chen Mu and Lu Jinfeng appeared, there was no reaction at all, no one knew if he was alive or dead. The medicinal fragrance in the room lingered in the air; it was obvious that he was quite ill.
Since he was already here, he might as well settle for now.
Chen Mu and Lu Jinfeng looked at each other, then stepped into the room and went in the direction of the bed.
The woman finally could bear to look away from the person on the bed. She stood up and said, "You're finally here."
Compared to a month ago, the woman's expression was not only haggard but also haggard. It was likely that she had endured a lot of torture in this month, resulting in her overexerting herself to such an extent.
Chen Mu Mu nodded. Originally, her relationship with this woman wasn't that good, and it was just a matter of getting the money. Thus, she gave a short greeting and got straight to the point. "The patient you wanted me to see is him?"
"Exactly." When she mentioned the person on the bed, the woman's eyes were filled with pity, worry, and pain. "He has been lying in bed like this for over three months. Can you tell what the problem is?"
