Chapter 146: Chapter 146 Your Face is Covered in Soot (Extra release two) _1
Although she still hadn’t gotten the purple sand pot, Su Pan’er was in a good mood.
She turned into the grocery store and bought a big iron pot. She was still humming a little tune on her way home with the big iron pot on her head.
As she approached the village entrance, she saw a crowd of people, including adults and children, all laughing and joking.
A woman seemed to recognize her, quickly running over with a grin on her face. "You’re from the Qin family, right? Buying a big cauldron? Wow, your life is getting better and better! Yesterday, Mrs. Qin-Li was made to kneel in the ancestral hall by the Clan Leader, which delighted me to no end! She’s a wicked woman and deserves some suffering."
Wasn’t this Mrs. Qin-Zhang, who had fought Mrs. Qin-Li in front of the Qin mansion last time?
"Are you saying that I am the wicked one?"
Su Pan’er couldn’t even be bothered to give her a glance, directly walking past her.
Stunned, Mrs. Qin-Zhang hurriedly smeared her face and caught up. "Oh dear! My big mouth, always getting me in trouble. Don’t be mad, I was just too excited and spoke without thinking. Please don’t take it to heart."
Su Pan’er gave her a glance.
"I would never take insignificant things to heart."
A bickering woman who could stir up trouble? She would just be wasting her breath arguing with her.
"Hehe..."
Seeing Su Pan’er continue to stride away, Mrs. Qin-Zhang hurriedly ran several steps to catch up: "Qingming festival is happening tomorrow. Have you made all the preparations?"
Qingming preparations?
Su Pan’er paused her steps. She had actually forgotten about it!
"Do you see that peddler over there? He’s got everything you’ll need for the Qingming festival. If you haven’t bought anything yet, get some. Don’t give your picky mother-in-law an excuse to cause trouble." Mrs. Qin-Zhang’s words echoed from behind.
Su Pan’er turned back, but saw Mrs. Qin-Zhang walking away humming a folk song.
Was she just simply reminding her?
Su Pan’er’s brow furrowed.
After some thought, she turned around and walked towards the peddler.
Around the peddler were a bunch of old ladies, young wives, and many children. As soon as they saw Su Pan’er approach, they greeted her, while some murmured and disappeared, releasing the peddler from the blockade.
Su Pan’er forced a nod, a pull at the corner of her mouth was her response. Standing in front of the peddler’s shoulder pole, she surveyed the goods.
Children’s snacks, sweets, incense and candles, offerings...
Indeed, quite a variety!
She frowned slightly. With all of these items, how should she choose?
She looked up at the peddler, who was looking down, his head hanging: "What items do I need for the Qingming Festival? Help me with two sets! Remember, it should be comprehensive."
The peddler was originally full of lament.
This woman had scared off all his customers with her large size. He was upset at first, but when he heard her asking for two sets, he was slightly stunned, and then immediately switched to a smiling face and stepped forward.
"No problem! Rest assured, I have never cheated anyone in my business, it is definitely worth your money."
As he spoke, he quickly picked and chose from his pole, and soon selected two sets. "Here! The total is one tael and one hundred and eighty-five copper coins. You don’t have to give the five coins in change; just give me one tael and one hundred and eighty copper coins."
Su Pan’er gave him a look but didn’t say much. She casually took out a corner of loose silver coins and handed it over.
On second thought, she also took some sweets and snacks kids love, and casually picked out two windmills from the edge of the pole and packed them up: "How about counting everything as one tael and two hundred copper coins?"
Seeing her hand full of snacks, candies were not cheap. Three of them were worth one copper coin, and Su Pan’er had taken a large bag. Adding up all the bits and pieces, there were about twenty-five coppers in total.
After pondering for a moment, he gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay! We’ll follow your price."
Putting away the change from the peddler, Su Pan’er walked home with the Qingming goods in one hand and snacks in the other.
The candies in her hand attracted a large group of children, all of whom were giggling and chasing after her.
Su Pan’er thought for a moment, then directly tore open the oil-paper on the candy, grabbed a handful of candies, and randomly tossed them out!
This caused a scramble among the children!
Seeing that many of the children didn’t manage to get any, she repeated the trick, tossing handfuls of candies in two other directions, causing the children who had been surrounding her to scatter.
She chuckled, packed her belongings, and strode home.
She hadn’t gone far when she saw Qin Yi standing on a hillock upfront with a full-faced smile, looking at her.
His face was full of a gentle smile.
"You’re back. What are you looking at?"
Su Pan’er felt uncomfortable under his gaze.
"Nothing. Give me those things. Just because you’re strong doesn’t mean you should be carrying all this, especially with a big pot on your head and all these things. The money you earned risking your life in the mountains should be spent wisely!"
Qin Yi smoothly took the incense and candy from her hands, flipping his hand to cover the candy with the incense.
What a cunning man!
Su Pan’er chuckled at his action.
"Don’t worry! Money is meant to be spent. And besides, all these items are useful; it’s not a waste."
Buying all this candy and snacks was not a waste?
Qin Yi shook his head with a smile, his eyes burning brightly as he walked beside her.
"Don’t worry about what we need for Qingming. I’ll have it all ready by this afternoon. I won’t let you lose face tomorrow."
"Huh, but didn’t I already buy everything?"
Su Pan’er instinctively avoided his gaze, feeling her cheeks heat up.
"Well, you’ve bought all the odds and ends, but we still don’t have pork head meat and pork feat. We also need to prepare some fruits, cakes, and candies. Nothing can be missing. Now that we’ve split the stove, it’s just like starting a new one, so we have to prepare a separate portion."
So, there was still so much to prepare!
Su Pan’er was speechless!
"Alright! I leave it to you. But we don’t have any pork at home, what should we do?"
"Stay still!"
Qin Yi suddenly scolded.
Su Pan’er stood still, looking at him curiously.
Before she could understand what was going on, Qin Yi had already reached out and gently wiped her face with his sleeve. "Don’t worry, there’s some soot on your face. Let me help you."
As he spoke, his hand had already touched her face.
His touch was gentle, as though he was stroking a precious, fragile item.
The two of them were very close. His hot breath emitted a uniquely masculine scent, which smelled really good.
His eyes were bright, and there was a gentle smile at the corner of his mouth. His masculine aura enveloped her, making her cheeks feel hot.
Instinctively, she took two steps backward, quickly avoiding his gaze.
"Don’t worry, there’s still some left here."
The joking words slipped from his mouth, sounding like a bubbling spring.
His deep, magnetic voice was intoxicating, giving a strong sense of security, and making her heart feel extraordinarily at ease.
