Chapter 356 Buying Roast Goose

"But it won't work this time. This time, your third and fourth sisters are going to the city. Next time, mother will take fifth sister and you two to the city, so you can have enough fun." Xiuying squatted down, hugged the two little girls tightly in her arms, and kissed their foreheads.

Although the two little girls felt a little disappointed, they nodded obediently and snuggled in Xiuying's arms. They loved to cuddle, kiss and hug their mother the most, and they wanted to be obedient babies.

After the girls changed their clothes, they stood in front of Xiuying. Xiuying looked at them carefully, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile, "This is more simple."

Taohua was assigned to stay behind to look after the family. Wang Daya and Wang Dali also went. Wang Daya clenched her fists, her eyes determined; Wang Dali straightened his back, his face serious.

Xiuying solemnly instructed them: "Your main task is to protect the third and fourth young ladies. Be careful on the road and don't make any mistakes." Xiuying's tone was serious and full of concern.

Wang Daya and Wang Dali responded in unison: "Don't worry, Madam, we will definitely protect the young ladies!"

As the cart was full of goods and there was no extra space for people to ride, Xiuying hurriedly asked the servants to drive out the second donkey in the house.

Xiuying and her daughters rode in the donkey cart, walking ahead. The villagers delivering goods followed the ox cart on foot behind. For the villagers, accustomed to mountain roads, this short distance was nothing.

After entering the city, the bustling crowds and lively streets made the children's eyes wide open.

Xiuying handed two exquisite purses to Guihua and Lamei respectively, and said softly, "Here are fifty taels of silver. You can go shopping and buy something you like, but be careful."

"Your second sister and I are going to do something. Let's meet at the sweet potato shop on our way back."

Xiuying turned around and said solemnly to Wang Dali and Wang Daya, "Dali, Daya, you must keep an eye on the young lady."

"Don't worry, madam!" Wang Dali and Wang Daya responded in unison. They bowed respectfully to Xiuying, their eyes never leaving the young ladies.

After the mother and daughter separated, Xiuying and Shiliu hurried to a quiet alley. Shiliu stood at the entrance of the alley alertly, looking around constantly, keeping watch for her mother.

Xiuying quickly opened the system, a faint light flashed, and she pulled out two pre-prepared backpacks. Inside the backpacks were neatly stacks of white tissues, emitting a faint fragrance.

Then, the mother and daughter picked up the backpack and walked towards Wenmofang. The tissues delivered this time were different from the previous ones. They were specially provided for the nobles in the palace. Not only did they emit a faint fragrance, but they also had hidden patterns on them, making them look more noble and elegant.

Osmanthus and wintersweet were as happy as two cheerful little birds, jumping and strolling in the street, with excitement shining in their eyes and full of curiosity about everything around them.

Having not been out for so long, the two of them were like free-flying doves, free and unfettered. Wintersweet would dart from one stall to another, looking around, completely overwhelmed with excitement. Osmanthus was more composed, but she couldn't hide her joy either.

"Third sister, look, there's someone selling candied haws up ahead!" Lamei shouted excitedly, pointing at a vendor not far ahead. Her eyes were fixed on the strings of red, shiny candied haws, and her saliva was almost watering with greed.

"Okay, let's buy a few strings for my elder sister and younger sisters to take back." Guihua nodded with a smile, holding Lamei's hand and walking quickly towards the vendor.

Guihua walked up and asked politely, "Boss, how much are the candied haws?"

The candied haws vendor quickly and enthusiastically replied, "Ladies, only five cents a string."

The peddler had a big smile on his face, revealing a row of big yellow teeth, and his eyes kept wandering over the osmanthus and wintersweet.

Guihua said without hesitation, "Buy seven skewers, and I'll take five of them away." After saying that, she reached into the purse at her waist.

When the vendor heard this, the smile on his face became even brighter. While Guihua was paying, he carefully took out five strings of candied haws and wrapped them in brown paper with very skillful movements.

As the vendor was wrapping the dumplings, he kept saying, "Don't worry, miss. I'll wrap them tightly and make sure they won't get dirty on the road."

Then he took out two more strings and handed them to La Mei, smiling broadly, "Miss, please take them. These candied haws are very sweet!"

Lamei took the candied haws and laughed happily, "Well, I haven't eaten candied haws for a long time. I'm so craving it."

Guihua paid the money and carefully put the wrapped candied haws into the cloth bag she carried with her. She and Lamei continued to stroll on the street hand in hand. The two sisters looked around and were interested in every new thing on the street.

After walking around for a long time, they both felt a little tired, so they walked into a busy teahouse to rest. The teahouse was bustling with people, and the waiter warmly invited them to sit down.

Lamei sat down on the chair, touched her stomach, and said pitifully: "Third sister, I'm hungry and want to eat roast goose, but I don't want to walk anymore." Lamei pouted, her eyes full of desire for roast goose.

When Wang Dali heard what Lamei said, he hurriedly said, "Miss, I'll go buy it right away!" Wang Dali was about to walk out.

Guihua quickly stopped Wang Dali and asked, "Do you know which restaurant has the best roast goose?"

Wang Dali was stunned for a moment and scratched his head. How would he know which roast goose was delicious? It was good enough to have something to eat.

At this time, Guihua said, "The ones that are baked are the fifth from the west side of the city. I'd better go buy some!"

Wang Daya said sincerely, "Miss San, I'll go with you." Then, she turned to Wang Dali and said anxiously, "Brother, you must keep an eye on Miss Si."

She had promised her ladyship to look after the two young ladies, so it should be no problem for her to be separated from her brother now. The city was no longer as chaotic as it was the last time she came. Most of the shops were open for business, and even the number of street vendors had increased.

Guihua and Wang Daya walked side by side on the way to buy roast goose, while Wang Daya carefully paid attention to the surrounding situation.

Guihua smiled and whispered to Wang Daya, "Sister Daya, Mom also likes the roast goose from that place."

Then, Guihua seemed to have thought of something happy, and said with an even brighter smile: "So, when the time comes, let's buy an extra one and bring it back for Mom to eat. She will definitely be very happy." As Guihua spoke, she unconsciously quickened her pace.

Suddenly, a horrified crowd of people came running over like a tide. Their faces were a mixture of excitement and confusion, and their steps were hurried and chaotic. As they ran, they shouted at the top of their lungs, "There's an accident up ahead! Someone's dead! Come and see what's happening!"
