Chapter 328 Wang Bo comes to look for someone
On the way, Liu Xiaoxiao curiously asked, "Sister, what does your family do? Why do you stockpile sugar at home?"
The woman replied, "My husband runs a small medicine shop in town. Some patients need medicine, so we go there to buy some medicine and keep it on hand."
Liu Xiaoxiao didn't expect her luck to be so good. She had just planned to buy some sugar and then go to the drugstore to buy quicklime when she ran into this.
So she asked tentatively, "Sister, you should have quicklime at home, right?"
The woman replied, "Yes! Why do you want to buy it, young lady?"
In order to avoid revealing the recipe for winter melon candy, Liu Xiaoxiao lied, "Well, the house we just built needs to be sterilized with quicklime."
The woman nodded in understanding and replied, "Then the amount needed should be a bit much!"
Liu Xiaoxiao nodded: "Yes, so I don't know if you can sell it?"
The woman replied uncertainly, "Well... can I wait until I ask my husband first? I remember that he rarely takes food out alone, so I'm not sure if it's okay."
Liu Xiaoxiao nodded hurriedly, "Okay, thank you for your help, sister."
After a while, Liu Xiaoxiao and Zhu Yun were brought home by the woman.
Liu Xiaoxiao was surprised to find that the place they arrived at was actually a small courtyard, and there were many herbs drying in the yard.
As soon as she entered the house, the woman briefly explained the situation to her husband.
The man then looked at Liu Xiaoxiao again, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Miss, it's not that I don't want to sell more, but if this quicklime is used for building and sterilizing, using too much can easily cause accidents. Besides, we don't have much in stock right now, so this time I can only sell you five kilograms at most. Is that okay with you?"
Liu Xiaoxiao understood a little and said, "Five kilograms is already a lot. To be honest, my grandpa's house is not particularly big. These five kilograms of lime are more than enough. Thank you."
The man waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "Miss, there's no need to be so polite. Since we've agreed, I'll go to the warehouse and get the things for you."
Liu Xiaoxiao: "Thank you for your hard work."
A quarter of an hour later, on a busy street, Liu Xiaoxiao, carrying half a bucket of sugar in each hand, said to Zhu Yun, who was only carrying five pounds of quicklime, "Mom, let's find a secluded alley and put everything in there!"
Seeing that she was struggling to carry the things, Zhu Yun agreed, "Okay, I remember there seems to be a small alley around the corner. Let's put it there."
After listening to what her mother said, Liu Xiaoxiao quickly quickened her pace and walked forward.
Zhu Yun walked beside her and suggested, "Why don't you let me carry these two buckets? Seeing you rocking around like that, I'm really worried you might spill the sugar."
Liu Xiaoxiao paused for a moment and said, "Mom, you still have the nerve to criticize me? You were the one carrying the candy when we just came out of the candy store! But what happened? You almost sold my bucket."
Zhu Yun embarrassedly argued, "I was just a little hungry, so my hands and feet felt weak for a moment. But now I've rested for so long, I won't fall down again."
Liu Xiaoxiao said in disbelief: "Forget it, I didn't mean to blame you when I said that just now. How about we put the things away and then go eat right away? Is there anything special you want to eat?" Then she picked up the bucket and walked forward swayingly.
Zhu Yun said as she walked, "I want to eat wontons."
Liu Xiaoxiao: "Okay, then we'll eat wontons."
Two sticks of incense later, the mother and daughter finally sat down at a roadside stall as they wished, looking at the old man who was cooking wontons.
After a moment, Liu Xiaoxiao tugged at Zhu Yun's sleeve and asked, "Mom, do you think that man is my uncle Wang?"
Zhu Yun followed her gaze and really saw Uncle Wang looking around on the street.
She immediately stood up and called the person over.
Then the two continued to talk, and they found out that her grandfather had regretted his decision not long after they left, and then saw that they had not returned for a long time, so he sent him to drive the carriage to meet them.
But he reached the entrance of the town and didn't see anyone.
I was afraid that the mother and daughter might have encountered something and been delayed, so I came looking for them along the way.
