After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! - Chapter 823

823 Not Tasty

“Of course our Miao Miao looks good, but if you wear so many pieces of clothing to the movies, you’ll fall sick,” Qiao Mei said patiently.

Currently, the children had their own room and they could decide what they wanted to wear. Qiao Mei was nurturing their independent personalities and aesthetics so that they would have their own views and opinions on things and not be influenced by the thoughts of adults.

What the adults should do now was just to guide and restrain their actions.

“But I like all these clothes very much…” Zhang Miao said as she looked at her clothes reluctantly.

!!
“I know you like them very much, but you can wear them anytime, right? These belong to Miao Miao and no one can snatch them away. Of course, you can wear them if you really want to, but what if you fall sick?” Qiao Mei said.

Zhang Miao thought about it and felt that what Qiao Mei said made sense. Things were completely different now and they could decide what they wanted to do.

Zhang Miao took off her extra scarf, ribbon and thick cotton-padded jacket. After she was done, they set off together.

Qiao Qiang did not like such occasions, so they did not bring him along. Recently, he would go for walks every morning and got along very well with the old men in the park. He was even very close to Zhou Sheng.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the cinema, Li Gui began to look around to see what the peddlers were selling.

There were two peddlers selling popcorn by the roadside. They sold them in bags and there was nothing special about them. There were also quite a number of peddlers selling seeds. She could count three in total.

The competition was tough so she did not feel confident at all.

“Mei Mei, this place won’t do. Look, there are so many people selling the same things. If I also sell seeds here, there won’t be much business. Moreover, these people have been selling here for a long time and might even have many old customers,” Li Gui said worriedly.

Back in the black market, everyone sold similar agricultural products, but everyone did not bring much and they set up stalls at a distance from one another. At that time, Li Gui was never worried that someone would snatch her business or no one would buy her things.

However, it was a different situation now. There were so many stalls here selling the same things. Her seeds had no other advantages except for being tasty.

“Our seeds are so delicious, what’s there to be worried about? Let’s go and ask first. Don’t be discouraged.” Qiao Mei brought the children in front of a peddler.

At the stall near the door of the cinema, the seeds were sold in cups. All the peddlers sold it the same way.

“How much for one cup?” Qiao Mei asked.

At first, when the peddler saw the children, he did not pay them any attention. One look and he could tell that they were country bumpkins. The children in the city did not wear clothes meant for all four seasons at the same time. These children obviously had not been out much.

However, Qiao Mei was different. Although she was dressed simply, her elegance simply shone through. It was obvious that these children had come to seek refuge with her.

“It’s 30 cents per cup! Do you want to buy a few cups to try?” the vendor said with a grin.

Qiao Mei did not hesitate at all. She took out a dollar and 80 cents and said, “Give me six cups!”

The sensible Zhang Qin immediately grabbed Qiao Mei’s clothes and said, “Elder sister, we just need to buy three cups. The four of us can share one.”

Zhang Qin had been through the process of selling seeds in the village. In the beginning, they could only sell one pound for 30 cents. Even when the seeds planted later were exceptionally delicious, it was still sold at one dollar per pound. This small cup of seeds in front of her only weighed about two taels but it was so expensive. She really could not bear to spend the money.

“It’s fine. You can eat whatever you want today,” Qiao Mei said as she patted Zhang Qin’s head.

The vendor quickly handed six cups of seeds to the children, worried that Qiao Mei would go back on her word and decided not to buy them.

Zhang Miao spat it out as soon as she took a bite. She frowned and looked at the seeds in her hand in dissatisfaction. She whispered, “This tastes really bad…”

The peddler’s expression instantly turned very unhappy. He had been selling seeds at the entrance of the cinema for so many years, but this was the first time someone had said that the seeds he sold were not tasty!

“Erm… children don’t think before they speak. A child’s words carry no harm. Big brother, please don’t take it to heart.” Qiao Mei quickly pushed Zhang Miao’s wheelchair away.

If she had been any slower, the peddler would probably start asking why the seeds he sold were not tasty.
