Chapter 8

“Eat!” Fu Caihe said hurriedly.

Since it is sold at the market, it is definitely not poisoned and is very safe.

Nuannuan grabbed a spicy strip as quickly as possible and took a bite.

The spiciness made her eyebrows jump, and she hissed with her mouth open: “It’s so spicy!”

Fu Caihe, who hadn’t eaten yet, instantly became defensive like a little hedgehog and glared at Yan Xi who was watching the show calmly.

He knew that this woman’s kindness to them during this period was all fake, just to make them let their guard down and play tricks on them!

“Stop eating!” Fu Caihe frowned tightly and spoke in a serious voice. He raised his hand to grab the spicy strips in Nuannuan’s hand and throw them away.

Nuannuan turned sideways to prevent him from touching her spicy strips.

“But it’s delicious! Although it’s spicy, it’s delicious!” Nuannuan said as she took another bite. Her little mouth was red and there was a lot of chili powder on her lips.

“Brother, you should try it too! It’s super delicious!” Nuannuan urged Fu Caihe while hissing.

Fu Caihe looked at his sister suspiciously, looking both spicy and greedy.

Is it really that delicious?

He looked at the spicy strips in front of him and fell into thought. Then he reached out, grabbed the spicy strips, and took a bite.

A pungent smell of chili rushed from his mouth straight to the top of his head, and his head seemed to be on fire.

But it’s not just the spicy taste, there are other flavors that are irresistible.

Just like my sister said, it’s spicy and delicious, and you can’t stop eating it.

Seeing the two children enjoying the spicy food, Yan Xi felt a sense of accomplishment.

She knew that no one could resist the temptation of spicy strips.

She poured a bowl of warm water for both children and deliberately asked, “Do you think anyone will buy this if I sell it?”

“Yes!” Nuan Nuan answered with a hissing sound, and nodded again and again with her little head very solemnly: “A lot of people will definitely buy it!”

Yan Xi was touched by Nuan Nuan and reached out to touch her head.

Nuannuan’s expression changed instantly. She leaned back as if facing a great enemy, avoiding Yan Xi’s hand and looking at her in horror and fear.

Fu Caihe, who was eating spicy strips, immediately stood in front of his sister when he saw this, staring at Yan Xi with full defense like an eagle.

Yan Xi was stunned for a moment, and the flashes through her mind made her understand why the two children reacted like that.

The two children thought she was going to pull Nuan Nuan’s hair and scold her like she did before…

Yan Xi sighed in her heart.

In her previous life, she was beaten and scolded many times by her aunt’s family, so she had a stress reaction like Nuannuan.

Yan Xi took back her hand and explained, “I didn’t mean to hit her. I just thought she was cute and wanted to touch her head.”

The two children’s fear and vigilance did not dissipate at all because of her explanation.

Yan Xi didn’t force it.

Such fear and vigilance did not arise overnight, and they are unlikely to disappear overnight.

“Go wash your hands after eating the spicy noodles. This thing is too spicy, children can’t eat too much, you can only eat one.” After Yan Xi said this, she continued to make spicy noodles.

The more you do, the more you sell.

The two children relaxed when they saw her busy again.

They continued to eat the spicy strips, but they were not as happy as before. Although their anxiety had settled down, it seemed to have taken away a lot of their appetite…

…

The next day, Yan Xi struggled to get out of bed early in the morning.

This body seemed to be unaccustomed to getting up early. Yan Xi struggled in bed for a long time. When she remembered that there was only 40 cents left in her pocket, she finally got up from the bed.

Sure enough, what can wake a person up is not the alarm clock, but poverty.

Yan Xi cooked a few dumplings for breakfast and set off with a small backpack.

She wrapped the small basket with a layer of cloth and oil paper before filling it with spicy strips. There were about 50 to 60 kilograms of spicy strips in the basket.

In fact, this backpack can hold more spicy strips, but Yan Xi took into consideration her weak body and was afraid that she would not be able to carry too much, so she only tried fifty or sixty spicy strips.

Yan Xi took the earliest bus to the town. She didn’t expect to meet Fan Fuying, Guo Xia, Yuan Jingui and other sisters-in-law from the compound on this earliest bus.

Although Yan Xi covered the spicy strips with a thick cloth, the overbearing and tempting aroma of the spicy strips still attracted the attention of everyone in the car as soon as she got in the car.

“What’s that smell? It’s so pungent.” Fan Fuying glanced at Yan Xi, fanned his nose with his hand, and said with disgust.

It smelled so good, so good that it made her hungry.

Guo Xia also felt that the taste was spicy and fragrant, but as soon as she heard what Fan Fuying said, she knew what Fan Fuying meant.

She deliberately said with disgust: “Are you trying to suffocate everyone with such a stinky smell?”

“Mrs. Guo, do you have a cold and your nose is blocked? It doesn’t smell bad, it smells quite fragrant.” Yuan Jingui said with a smile.

She asked Yan Xi gently, “Sister Yan, what’s in your backpack? It smells really good.”

“Spicy noodles.” Yan Xi said.

Yuan Jingui was stunned: “What is spicy strips?”

While she was talking, Yan Xi had already taken out a spicy strip wrapped in oil paper and handed it to her, asking her to try it.

Yuan Jingui took it and took a bite: “Wow, it’s spicy, but delicious!”

Yan Xi smiled: “Well, this is spicy strips.”

“Did you do this?” Yuan Jingui asked.

“right.”

“Why did you do so much?” Yuan Jingui asked again.

“I’m going to sell it in town.”

Yuan Jingui nodded: “It’s so delicious, it will definitely sell well.”

Fan Fuying and Guo Xia hadn’t had breakfast yet. They were already craving for the taste, and now that they saw Yuan Jingui eating, they were even more greedy and licked their lips unconsciously several times.

“Hmph, what kind of spicy strips are these? Who would buy them with such a pungent smell?” Fan Fuying said disdainfully.

Guo Xia quickly swallowed her saliva and chimed in, “That’s right! It smells terrible, only a fool would buy it!”

Yan Xi smiled meaningfully at the two of them and said, “Everyone else says it smells good, but you two think it smells bad. Have you not showered for a long time? Your bodies stink too much, and you have problems with your noses. That’s why you can’t tell the difference between a good smell and an unpleasant smell!”

Yan Xi suddenly understood something: “No wonder I smelled a foul odor when I passed by you two just now. Hey – I’d better stay away from you two, don’t let the odor stink me up too.”

She picked up her small backpack with disgust and sat in the last row.

She also opened all the windows and took a few long breaths looking out the window, as if that made her feel much better.

Seeing this, the other passengers on the bus looked at Fan Fuying and Guo Xia with disgust, and moved several seats back to distance themselves from them.

Although no one has the means to take a bath every day in this era, at least their bodies don’t stink!

Be sure not to pass the bad smell on to them. Taking a bath consumes firewood, water and is extremely troublesome.

Even Yuan Jingui moved back two rows as if unintentionally.

She hasn’t finished eating her spicy strips yet, so don’t let them become so smokey that she can’t eat them.
