Ye Xiaoxian had been highly effective with what she had said. The next day she went up the mountain to pick enough mesona herb, and Xiao Baoshan also bought the bowls, spoons, brown sugar, and buckets.

In the morning of the third day, Ye Xiaoxian got up before dawn, rubbing the herbs and making the rice milk. Then she put the cold jelly into two buckets. In addition to this, she also prepared two empty buckets for the bowls and spoons. There was also a river in the countryside. After arriving there, she could fill a bucket of water for was.h.i.+ng the dishes.

Xiao Baoshan was going to the town that day, and he picked up the cold jelly without saying a word. Then Ye Xiaoxian and Li Hongmei quickly picked up the empty bucket and went to keep up.

It was a long way to the town. Ye Xiaoxian was originally worried that Xiao Baoshan could not lift them, but later she found that Xiao Baoshan had no difficulty in picking up the two buckets of cold jelly.

After arriving in the town he then chose a place for Ye Xiaoxian. It was a market square and very lively with many people around.

Xiao Baoshan put down his load, then took the empty bucket from Ye Xiaoxian’s shoulder, and said in a deep voice, “I will help you fill two buckets of water.”

Ye Xiaoxian couldn’t help feeling warm and then stared straight at him again. Xiao Baoshan felt uncomfortable, and hurried away with an empty bucket.

Although speaking softly, Li Hongmei heard this and scolded, “Wasn’t he a fool? He sure is a rash guy!”

Ye Xiaoxian: “…”

Qinghe was a small county in the south and also located on the border. Many foreign caravans would pa.s.s through here and, so long as the weather was good, it was a particularly lively place.

Ye Xiaoxian and Li Hongmei had just set up the stall when someone came and asked, “Sister, what are you selling?”

“Cold jelly, which can cool you down and quench your thirst. Would you like a bowl?” Li Hongmei asked.

The man took a look at the cold jelly in the bucket and said, “It looks nice, but I just had breakfast and I couldn’t eat anything more.”
