Chapter 1166: Chapter 1168: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

Tian Xiaobei always kept the account in mind, and he immediately reported a number, "Twenty pounds per basket, two wen per pound, excluding the samples, what you ate, and what was sold in a rush later due to the time crunch, it all adds up to thirty wen now."

"It doesn’t matter, that’s a lot better, come on, let’s go shopping for snacks."

"..." Tian Xiaobei wondered, is it just buying snacks?

Xia Dabao really inherited some habits from Nan Feng. The moment she got the money, she found a noodle shop and ordered two bowls of steaming beef vermicelli, plus a plate of stir-fried beef; Xia Dabao mainly wanted Tian Xiaobei to eat, since he never seemed to have enough to eat.

After finishing the vermicelli, Xia Dabao wandered off to other places. Eventually, finding their own horse to be too much of a burden, she had Tian Xiaobei lead the horse while she herself purchased a bunch of odds and ends—candied hawthorns on sticks, roasted beef skewers, rice cakes, bringing back a heap. Tian Xiaobei was just curious why she only bought snacks and didn’t pick up anything that a lady might use; his own mother liked to browse through the rouge shop and jewelry shop and the like.

It wasn’t until evening that Tian Xiaobei, seeing that it was almost time to close the city gates, urged Xia Dabao to hurry up. Xia Dabao then reluctantly drove the carriage out of the city.

Perhaps it was after all the hassle, the beef vermicelli Xia Dabao had just eaten were already digested, and the scent of the roasted skewers in the back of the carriage wafted out from time to time, tempting her appetite.

"Xiaobei, are you hungry? How about we eat something before we continue?" Xia Dabao suggested.

"Better not, if we delay any longer it will get dark, and your parents will be worried," Although they were of the same age, Tian Xiaobei seemed to be more sensible.

Xia Dabao had no choice but to continue driving the carriage.

But after traveling a distance, Xia Dabao touched her stomach, "How about you pass me the beef skewers and I eat while driving the carriage."

She considered herself to be a top-notch carriage driver in Peach Blossom Village.

Tian Xiaobei still disagreed, "Better not, driving a carriage with one hand is too dangerous. If there is any accident, it will be too late to correct it."

Tian Xiaobei sat on the flatbed at the back, his job to hold onto the baskets.

Moreover, he occasionally glanced at Xia Dabao’s silhouette from behind. Although she was a lady, her figure was slender, but the way she drove the carriage was extremely cool. And now, with the sun having set, the air wasn’t so stifling, the evening breeze was gentle. A strand of her hair had come undone and was fluttering in the air, seemingly emitting a refreshing fragrance from time to time.

He thought Xia Dabao smelled really good.

Xia Dabao, not getting her way, continued to drive. After covering another half of the distance, she couldn’t hold back any longer and let out a "sigh," bringing the carriage to a halt, then turned back to Tian Xiaobei, "How about this, you drive, and I’ll sit at the back and eat. That way, we won’t delay, and I won’t have to eat while driving, and you won’t have to worry about any mishaps, right?"

"This..." Tian Xiaobei felt a bit uneasy, "I’ve only driven a carriage once or twice before and am not very adept at it. What if I don’t do a good job?"

"What’s there to be afraid of? My dad always says what doesn’t happen the first time will happen the second. Besides, I’m a girl and can drive this well, and you, a boy, are still worried about driving poorly? Just drive confidently," Xia Dabao said, climbing to the back and quickly settled down behind. With no other choice, Tian Xiaobei had to take the driver’s seat.
