Qing'an Prefecture is a very large city, so if you want to spread the candied haws of sugarcane as quickly as possible, you will certainly need a lot of manpower.
It is obviously not enough to rely on Lao Fang alone.
Several people parted at the gate of the city. Li Yi followed Lao Fang and listened to him bragging about how popular he was with those naughty kids yesterday. When he walked to a certain street, Lao Fang was shocked and looked at the familiar place.
street corner.
More than a dozen naughty children were gathered around, with anxious looks on their faces.
"What candied haws on a stick? Did you lie to us?"
"Lying is like a puppy, it really happened yesterday!"
"Why didn't that uncle come today?"
"Are there no candied haws on a stick today?"
…
…
The naughty child was running around in circles. For the first time this morning, he didn't sleep in. He woke up all his friends early in the morning, asked for a few copper coins from their parents, and rushed here in a hurry.
However, what disappoints them is that the uncle who sold candied haws yesterday is not here.
Even a few naughty kids searched the area but couldn't find a vendor selling candied haws.
The naughty children became even more anxious when they thought that they would never be able to eat those sweet and sour candied haws again.
"Look, that uncle is here!"
I don't know who shouted first. Several naughty children turned around and saw that familiar figure standing on the street. The next moment they saw the candied haws they had been longing for.
Wow!
Yesterday's scene happened again.
"Uncle, I want two skewers!"
"I want three skewers!"
"This is twenty coins, give me four strings!"
------
------
The naughty children rushed over each other, stretching out their little hands one by one and stuffing copper coins into Lao Fang's arms, fearing that all the candied haws would be bought by others if it was too late.
Seeing the naughty children leaving one by one with satisfaction, and most of the candied haws on a stick had been lost, Lao Fang had a smile on his face.
This made him feel like he was one step closer to his dream.
However, compared to the feeling of realizing his dream, another feeling came faster and faster. Not long after, Lao Fang held his stomach, bowed his waist and said to Li Yi: "Uncle, please take care of me here for a while.
I’m going to make it easier!”
Before Li Yi could nod, Lao Fang quickly disappeared.
Li Yi originally wanted to walk around the city, but now he can only wait for Lao Fang to come back.
After a while, a few more bunches of candied haws were sold.
Almost all the buyers are naughty children, or some adults who are pestered by naughty children. Occasionally, a well-dressed girl buys a bunch or two. After seeing that these are just ordinary red fruits, normal adults have no idea.
The thought of purchasing.
This was already within Li Yi's expectation.
The largest consumer group of candied haws on a stick is children. Whether in ancient times or in modern times, women and children are the absolute main consumers. This is also consistent with his original positioning of candied haws on a stick.
The remaining dozen or so bunches of candied haws on a stick were sold out in a short time, leaving only a solitary bunch stuck on top. It looked extremely unsightly and uncomfortable. Li Yi frowned and plucked the last bunch of candied haws.
Coming down, just as he brought it to his mouth, a voice suddenly came from the distance.
"shut up!"
"Crack!"
A crisp sound came, and he had already bitten the first hawthorn fruit.
If you want to make delicious candied haws, it is very important to control the heat of the sugar syrup. This time the sugar syrup was cooked for a long time and it was a little burnt. Remember to remind them to pay attention next time.
Then, Li Yicai raised his head and looked at the young man trotting over. After being stunned for a moment, two voices came over almost at the same time.
"It's you!"
"It's you!"
------

The young man opposite was also a little surprised, and did not expect that the man selling candied haws on a stick was actually the scholar who painted last time.
Of course, Li Yi also recognized this dear friend immediately.
After all, he was the only rich man in this world who was willing to spend ten taels of silver to buy a painting.
After a brief surprise, the next moment, the young man's eyes moved away from Li Yi's face and placed them on the last bunch of candied haws in his hand, which he had already taken a bite of.
"you……"
He pointed a finger at Li Yi. As soon as he said a word, he waved his hand in frustration, grabbed Li Yi's arm, and said, "Follow me!"
"What are you doing!"
The young man was thin and weak, but he was quite strong. Li Yi staggered and was forcefully pulled forward by him.
"Did you make this candied haws?"
"Let me go first!"
"Is it you?"
"So what?"
"That's right!"
------
------
Life is like being fucked. Since you can't resist, just enjoy it.
After a while, Li Yi realized that his strength was far inferior to that of this young man. If he continued to struggle like this, he would be the only one who felt uncomfortable, so he simply gave up resisting and followed him forward.
From the looks of it, it doesn’t look like he’s trying to drag himself to the official’s office because he ate someone’s sugar-coated haws.
As long as this isn't the case, that's fine.
At this time, on the street not far in front of the two of them, several strong men were swaying. The leader was a big man with a scar on his face, who took it from a stall on the street.
With two steamed buns, the stall owner saw the big man walking away without paying. A trace of anger flashed in his eyes, but he finally sighed and could only admit that he was unlucky and dared not speak out in anger.
"Brother, look who that is!"
Suddenly, as if he saw something, a boy next to the scarred man trembled, pointed forward and said.
Hearing this, the scarred man looked up and looked over. When he saw a familiar figure, he was slightly startled, and his face immediately darkened.
How could he forget that he was beaten up by some hateful guys in the alley that day, and the beating made him miserable. The saddest thing is that he was arrested by the police and sent to a prison cell for several days, and the food he ate was moldy.
Not to mention, there was not even a comfortable place to sleep. Every time I dreamed about the experience of those few days, I would still wake up in a cold sweat.
The source of all this is because of that guy who he hates so much when he thinks about it now.
And the scholar whom he wished he could only be satisfied with by destroying humanity appeared in front of him again.
"Follow me!"
Even though these scoundrels were quite courageous, they still did not dare to do anything too arrogant in the street. They gave orders with a sullen face and hung far behind the two of them.
Li Yi still doesn't know where this young man is taking him in a hurry to go or what he is going to do. Just as he is about to ask again, there is suddenly a burst of chaotic footsteps behind him, and the two of them are instantly surrounded by people.
Got up.
"Who are you and what do you want to do?"
When someone blocked his way, the young man frowned and asked.
"Boy, if you are interested, get out of here. You have nothing to do with me here!" The scarred man glared at the young man, and then turned his gaze to Li Yi, his eyes shining with extreme hatred.
