Chapter 10 No One is a Fool

There are twenty eggs in a box, and there are three boxes in a box.

After lifting it three or four times, Bai Tao became impatient to repeat the action. She was still young, and it was tiring for her wrists to lift it up again and again.

"Come and get it."

"Ah? Oh, okay." Bai Duoxi was so shocked when he saw Bai Tao taking something out of the bamboo basket that he froze in place.

He came back to his senses after hearing the order, and hurriedly looked at the bamboo basket in front of him with bated breath, then looked at Bai Tao as if it was his duty, and his tone was so nervous that he stuttered.

"Here, aunt, aunt, then, then can I take it?"

"Take it!" Bai Tao blinked and urged, "What are you afraid of? It won't bite your hand."

"Hey, hey hey." Bai Duoxi's heart beat faster. While responding, he swallowed his saliva, took a deep breath, and then carefully reached into the bamboo basket.

He didn't dare to stick his head out to look, and even when he was about to put his head against the bamboo basket, he subconsciously looked away. It would be terrible if he saw something he shouldn't see.

People should not be too curious. Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and don't look at what you shouldn't look at. Anyway, my lady asked him to take it, so he just obeyed.

Bai Tao saw that Bai Duoxi was tense and stretched out her hand cautiously, as if she was doing something important.

Then he seemed to have touched something. His expression was shocked and his eyes suddenly widened. Oh my God, I really got the thing!

Bai Duoxi was nervous and excited. He swallowed hard and kept repeating to himself, "stay calm, stay calm." Then he steadied his hands, slowly exhaled, and took out a basket of eggs with a solemn face.

Chicken, eggs!

Bai Duoxi immediately gasped twice.

It’s not that he didn’t know that what he was supposed to take was an egg, but seeing Bai Tao take it and reaching out to take it himself were two different things.

My aunt is a very blessed person, but she is just a farmer with nothing. How could she deserve such a miraculous and amazing thing?

But with Bai Tao's permission, Bai Duoxi was able to take eggs out of the bamboo basket. Such a miracle cannot be described in words.

The visual and psychological shock was too great for him. Bai Duoxi stood there in a daze with the eggs in his hand, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Then he successfully stuttered again: "Aunt, aunt, aunt aunt..." If he fainted from excitement, would his aunt despise him for being useless? !
"I asked you to get the eggs, not to imitate the sound of a rooster." Bai Tao just thought it was a little funny, but she suppressed the corners of her mouth and pursed her lips: "Continue."

There are more than 200 people with us. How much can we eat with this little money?

"Oh, oh, okay, okay, auntie, okay..." Bai Duoxi nodded hurriedly, responding incoherently.

However, with his previous experience, when he got it the second time, although it was still unbelievable, Bai Duoxi was much better. At least he felt that he must have a bright future.

Just as Bai Duoxi held his breath and carefully took the eggs from the bamboo basket, Bai Tao was also paying attention to the expressions of the villagers not far away.

After taking a glimpse of the situation here, everyone was first shocked, then envious, and then admiring...all kinds of expressions flashed across their faces, but the only expression was not coveting or greed for the bamboo basket.

What was surprising was that no one expected Bai Tao to let everyone see this scene so carelessly, even though everyone knew that it was she who made it.

I'm envious because it's not me who does this job. It's such a magical and blessed job, why did it fall on Bai Duoxi?

Needless to say, the respect is naturally for Bai Tao. Our aunt is amazing. Fortunately, we have her, otherwise we would have starved to death if we didn't freeze to death. As for coveting and greed, the villagers dare not and will not do it. The bamboo baskets are woven by the women with dexterous hands in the village, and most of the households in the village can do this.

The bamboo basket can take out so many things, not because the bamboo basket is magical, but because their aunt has this magical ability.

When Bai Tao suddenly asked for firecracker flowers, the villagers didn't think much of it and just thought she was a child. But when she left with the silly roe deer and came back with a box lunch, everyone understood what was going on.

Whether it is worshipping ancestors or praying for rain and blessings, offerings must be made. Although my aunt didn't say it, I guess her abilities are similar, right? !

Anyway, it must have taken a lot of effort to get these things. After all, firecrackers cost so much, but I haven't seen anyone exchange them for even a grain of rice.

I am such a capable lady. If it weren’t for everyone, I wouldn’t work so hard.

Thinking of this, everyone felt even more sorry for Bai Tao and respected her even more.

There are so many new things that the villagers have never seen before, and they are not stupid. Moreover, they still have such a long time to get along with each other along the way, so Bai Tao does not intend to treat everyone as fools.

She still has to rely on everyone to find things to sell in order to make more and more money. One person's strength is small, but the strength of the masses is great.

So it's okay to remain mysterious, but revealing some of it appropriately can allow everyone to help her while also covering up the areas that she hasn't noticed.

With a common secret to keep, the villagers will only become more united.

With the Peach Blossom Fairy in the lead, isn't it normal for her descendants to have some abilities?!

Moreover, the villagers had noticed her actions in the past two days, but no one asked about it, which proved that although everyone was shocked, they also easily accepted it.

Bai Tao expressed her satisfaction with these sensible, worldly-wise and well-mannered youngsters.

The villagers watched, but after being shocked, they continued doing what they were supposed to do. They were not affected at all. Their aunt was so capable, they couldn't fall behind.

Everyone was even more afraid that they would be abandoned. After all, my aunt was so powerful, and if they were useless, they would be unworthy of following her and enjoying her protection.

"Aunt, aunt." After Bai Duoxi took the eggs four or five times, she seemed to recover from the shock.

He swallowed, and although he was still a little nervous and stuttering, he was much better now: "How much do you want?"

"Take them all until they're all gone." Bai Tao took the eggs based on the number of people, and the rest were still in the mall warehouse.

Bai Duoxi didn't know that the amount of white peaches he took would be equal to the amount put into the bamboo basket.

It’s not that Bai Tao is unwilling to take out everything, but she is still on the run, and she has too many things. She has no car or horse, so it would be a burden to carry them all.

"Oh, oh, okay, okay." Bai Duoxi responded obediently. He seemed to feel that he seemed a little cowardly. What if the aunt thought he was useless.

So Bai Duoxi coughed twice, as if trying to hide his nervousness.

Before Bai Duoxi could speak, Bai Tao frowned and said worriedly, "Did you catch a cold last night?"

There are so many people here. If they catch a cold, it will be fatal.

Thinking of this, Bai Tao immediately ordered: "Make some ginger soup later and let everyone drink a bowl."
