Chapter 86: Buying a Slave Girl
Zhao Zhitong puffed up her small chest, confidently saying, "It will definitely be sweet. My daddy is very skilled. The fruits he grows must be big and sweet."
While the three of them were chatting, Sun Mei finished teaching the chefs of Guang Ju Restaurant and walked out of the kitchen.
Shopkeeper Wang handed Zhao Dong one hundred taels of silver with a big smile, saying, "Come back next time."
Zhao Zhitong also waved her little hand, "See you next time, Uncle Shopkeeper."
After bidding their farewells, they left the restaurant.
At this time, Zhao Cheng and Zhao Yu were sitting on the handcart, vigilantly watching the passing pedestrians, fearing someone would take things from their cart.
Seeing Zhao Dong and the others come out of the restaurant, they immediately relaxed and happily shouted, "Uncle, Auntie!"
Sun Mei lifted Zhao Zhitong onto the handcart, smiling. "Let’s go. We’re going to the county town to pick up Yaya!"
The group cheerfully headed for the county town.
Because they were delayed selling their prescriptions at Guang Ju Restaurant, it was already late morning when they arrived at the county town gate. However, there were still many people waiting in line to enter the city.
The sun was quite intense at this time, so Sun Mei put a straw hat on Zhao Zhitong to protect her. Her small face, hidden under the hat, was flushed and hot, like a little red apple.
But she didn’t complain about the heat. She knew her parents, who were pushing the handcart, must be even hotter. She reached into her basket, pretending to take something from it, but actually retrieved two bamboo tubes from her space, handing them to her parents to drink.
