However, fearing that Qiao Xiaomai would discern something, and aware that it wouldn’t be proper for a single man and woman, he continued, “Take Dami with you too. Conveniently, he mentioned he wanted to eat fish. Bring back two fish.”

Qiao Dami had just finished cleaning the kitchen. Hearing this, his small head bobbed as if pecking like a chicken, “Sis, sis, get two more fishes! Brother Tong has never tasted spicy boiled fish; let him have a taste!”

The wonderful taste of spicy boiled fish, he wouldn’t tire of it, even if he ate it daily!

“Eh… didn’t we agree to go check the wheat fields? If we are to buy fish, we can let Brother Tong bring them back.” Qiao Xiaomai was unwilling to go.

To be honest, she really didn’t will to interact with Tong Tielang a lot.

She had agreed to cater for the birthday banquet because Tong Tiehu had helped her out many times. Furthermore, she wanted to express herself. These three pigs, she’d regret if she missed this opportunity.

But preparing the banquet was one thing, going shopping with Tong Tielang was another.

Without her, couldn’t Tong Tielang still buy the pork offal?

“We can go tomorrow, it’s not urgent. Tielang is a young lad, he doesn’t understand kitchen matters. It will be better if you go and explore with him. The items are for your use after all, it’s best if you go along.” Qiao Changsun persuaded.

“Yeah, yeah, sis, let’s go to the town with Brother Tong!” Qiao Dami ran over, grabbing Qiao Xiaomai’s hand and acting coy. The siblings were going shopping with their favorite brother Tong, how exciting!

“Miss Qiao, let’s go together. 1 don’t have much experience in buying food.” Tong Tielang chimed in a word of persuasion.

Although he could cook, he didn’t know how to buy vegetables and meat.

“Sis, let’s go!” Seeing Qiao Xiaomai still silent, Qiao Dami embraced her, practically clinging to her, his tone almost pleading.

Qiao Xiaomai looked at his eager little face, thought for a moment, and nodded, “Alright.”

She could visit the wheat fields tomorrow.

“Oh! Sis is the best!” Qiao Dami was overjoyed. His face lit up with a big smile. He unclung himself from Qiao Xiaomai and went trotting into the hall. Soon, he came back out holding a small cloth bag.

Qiao Xiaomai had sewn him a simple bag. It had two compartments – one for the melon seeds and snacks, and the other for copper coins – which thrilled him to no end.

He wanted to go to town this time to experience the feeling of shopping with his bag.

Seeing how excited Qiao Dami was, Qiao Xiaomai also went back to her room and fetched a bag.

“Should 1 go back home now and fetch the oxcart?” Tong Tielang asked upon seeing this.

“Yes.”

“Xiaomai, you and Dami go with him, so he doesn’t have to make the round trip.” Qiao Changsun started, “Carry the basket on your back. Buy two fish and two pieces of cloth.”

Last time he asked Qiao Xiaomai to buy cloth to make clothes, but she didn’t buy any.

She now had a good chance with Tong Tielang accompanying her. She could ask for his suggestions.

“We’ll see.” Qiao Xiaomai shouldered the basket. She wasn’t very interested in buying cloth, particularly when there was a handsome young man by her side.

“Well then, buy as you see fit.” Upon seeing this, Qiao Changsun didn’t push her. As long as they were going to the town together, that was enough.

There was no hurry for this, they could take their time.

Thus, Qiao Xiaomai and Qiao Dami followed Tong Tielang to the Tong’s house. After Tong Tielang and Tong Tiehu exchanged greetings, he lead out the oxcart, and the two elder ones and the youngster made their way to the town, together.

On the way, Tong Tielang initiated the conversation, “Miss Qiao, can we make tofu and bean curd for the banquet? And that dried tofu too.”

“I think so, let me ask the shopkeepers of both families.” Qiao Xiaomai replied.

Her agreement with the Zuixian Building and Extremely Delicious Foods was that she couldn’t make money through tofu and bean curd. But if she was preparing for a village banquet, it should not be considered a violation of the agreement.

Listening to their conversation, Qiao Dami munched on seeds and said, “Brother Tong, you also think bean curd is delicious, right? Sis’s dishes are all delicious- It’s a pity you don’t live at our place, otherwise, you could eat them every day.”

Brother Tong is so good, how wonderful it would be if he could live at their house..
