Chapter 257 The Eldest Sister is so Capricious (3)_1
Pei Yuan gave her a glare, telling her to stop complaining. She could see that her eldest sister didn’t think much of Feng Bo, so there wasn’t much of a chance there anyway.
Pei Qin always based her relationships on first impressions. For instance, she didn’t like the look of Feng Bo; since he was a distant cousin, giving him a hand was no big deal. Then there was Fang Liuming, who, despite his bookishness, was barely palatable to her. When he insisted on learning martial arts, she found him a bit more tolerable, so she didn’t hesitate to give him some pointers.
While Pei Qian was complaining, Pei Qin was already busy preparing festival foods for the fifteenth day of the eighth month.
Mooncakes—Chang’s house had given them two pounds, the Wang family had also given them two pounds, and there were other pastries. Pei Qin saw some being sold in the store and bought another two pounds. With several pounds of mooncakes, they had plenty to eat.
The next day was the fifteenth of the eighth month, and it was market day in Taiping Town.
Pei Qin ground all the cooked sweet potatoes into a paste, mixed them with sugar and sifted flour, then, pushing out her stove to the front of the noodle shop, she set up her stall to sell fried sweet potato balls.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, every household would buy mooncakes and meat for the celebration. Even the poorest families would find a way to have a decent reunion meal.
The children were especially happy, as they could eat mooncakes for the festival.
