The little one's purse connects the two worlds, turning a desolate village into a paradise.

(Thanks to the owner of "Yan Yan's Little Spicy Chicken" for the generous reward and certification, here's an extra chapter!)

After planting the vegetables, the eldest sister, Little Sprout, took her two younger brothers outside to gather wild onions.

That uncle with the double chin still wants to buy some, so I'll take a little more with me since I need to push the cart.

With the money from selling them, you can buy delicious food from under those bright and shiny signs!

Ya Ya thought of the egg fried rice that Uncle Double Chin gave her yesterday. It was so fragrant and everyone loved it. She decided to buy some more scallions and see what other delicious food was available under the other Liangliang brands so that everyone could try it.

The three little ones went along the fence to pick wild onions.

Wild onions grow haphazardly everywhere in the mountains, sprouting in clumps along the edge of the soil.

Ya Ya grabbed a handful, Xiao Douzi tore off a bunch, and Xiao Shuanzi also pinched off a small bundle. In no time, they had gathered a small pile.

They carried the items to Grandma Liu and Aunt Lin, washed them clean, and put them in the stroller. Grandma Liu carefully washed the three children's hands, straightened Ya Ya's clothes, and tied two little pigtails for her.

Thanks to the good food she's been eating lately, Ya Ya's hair isn't as dry anymore and even has a little bit of shine. Some dark hairs are starting to grow from the roots.

Then I took a few more small baskets and put them in.

"Take this to the fairy sister. This little basket is selling well. See if the fairy sister likes it." Grandma Liu instructed Ya Ya as she placed the basket.

There's really nothing presentable about our home.

We didn't even have time to pick the wild vegetables.

When the vegetables and fruits grow in the field, we'll taste them and if they're delicious, we'll have Ya Ya take them all over.

Ya Ya nodded, looking very serious.

After her mother-in-law closed the lid of the stroller and pushed it into the house, Ya Ya grabbed the handlebars and let Xiao He Bao carry her there.

As soon as she pushed her cart to the street corner, the owner of the fried rice stall spotted her immediately.

He immediately darted out from behind the stall, bent down, and asked with a smile, "Little friend, is your cart heavy? Do you need me to help you push it? Did you bring any wild onions today?"

As he spoke, he took a deep sniff.

Yesterday, I took a handful of those ten scallions and stir-fried them in a pan. The aroma was so strong that it could be smelled across half the street, and many customers came specifically for that.

They'd fight over it even for just one extra dollar, but there were only ten. Being stingy, we only sold six portions. Any less, and that would be ripping people off.

I really hope that kid's car is full of scallions today.

Ya Ya stopped her stroller, looked up at him, and said, "No need, Uncle. The stroller isn't heavy; I can push it. We have wild onions today; would you like to buy some, Uncle?"

"Buy! Buy! Of course I'll buy!"

The boss slapped his thigh, his eyes lighting up.

"I'll take as many as you have!"

"Come on, little one, come over to my stall. There are lots of people on the street, so I don't want you to get bumped into."

The fried rice vendor helped Ya Ya push her cart next to his stall.

Ya Ya opened the car hood, and inside was a small, neatly piled-up bunch of tender, green wild onions.

They were all washed.

The little round balls underneath are white and tender, without a speck of mud.

A refreshing, pungent, and fragrant aroma wafts straight into your nose; a gentle squeeze intensifies the fragrance.

"Oh my, oh my..." The fried rice vendor was beaming from ear to ear, rubbing his hands together. So many! Wow, such good wild onions!

Yesterday's free eggs and rice were definitely worth it.

He was already calculating in his mind: with so many wild onions, he could make at least two hundred servings of fried rice. That would bring him popularity, and with each serving costing an extra dollar, he could earn a considerable amount!

Just as I was about to ask how much it would cost, a hand suddenly reached out from the side, followed by a burst of laughter: "Hey, these scallions are great, the aroma is wafting over! Old Hu, you used these to stir-fry yesterday, didn't you!"

"The boss is so young? How much are these scallions?"

The fried rice vendor's heart skipped a beat. He turned around and saw it was Old Wang, who sold wontons next door.

Old Wang stared at the wild scallions. "These scallions add aroma to wonton soup. Give me some too, I'll pay thirteen yuan a pound."

The fried rice vendor immediately became unhappy, pushing the cart behind him. "Hey, hey, hey, first come, first served, don't you understand? This is my order. I charged 21 jin yesterday."

"There must be at least three or four pounds here. You can't finish cooking it all in one night. I'll give you twenty-one yuan, and give me one pound."

"I'm twenty-three!"

"What are you two arguing about?" The owner of the jianbing (Chinese crepe) stall to the right of the fried rice stall, seeing the commotion, also came over. After taking a sniff, he immediately joined in.

"It smells so good! I'll have some of these scallions too. How about 25? They're all washed. Add a little labor fee, and this price is reasonable."

Ya Ya stood to the side, clutching the hem of her clothes with her little hands, looking bewildered.

Why are they even fighting over these wild onions?

Do they not have scallions here?

Twenty-five yuan is enough for a padded jacket and a pair of cotton shoes.

The three shop owners lowered their voices and whispered for a while. Then, their three large faces turned to look at Ya Ya. "Little boss, how about we buy it all at twenty-five a pound? And bring us some more tomorrow, okay?"

Ya Ya nodded gently and said softly, "I...I'll bring it next time I come, but not necessarily tomorrow."

The three bosses understood immediately. This kind of good stuff doesn't grow by the roadside; it can only grow in remote, unpolluted mountain areas. And such a small baby wouldn't come here every day.

"Okay, I understand! Finding such good stuff is all about luck."

They weighed it themselves and found it weighed less than four jin (2 catties) in total. Each of them gave Ya Ya thirty yuan.

Ya Ya doesn't have a phone or watch; she uses cash all the time.

Besides money, Ya Ya also received a small portion of egg fried rice and a super thick jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe) with egg, pork tenderloin, ham, lettuce, pork floss, and fried dough sticks.

……

He Miao carried a paper bag from the children's clothing store with a cartoon pattern printed on it and gently lifted the plastic curtain to enter the store.

Chen Lei was playing Dou Dizhu on his phone while leaning over the counter when he heard the noise and looked up.

"Boss Chen, Ya Ya hasn't arrived yet?"

"No, it should still be on its way." Chen Lei finished the game with a royal flush and put down his phone.

Glancing at the large paper bag He Miao had placed on the table, she asked, "What did you buy?"

"I bought Ya Ya a new outfit. You know what, the styles of children's clothes are really nice these days. If they had my size, I would have bought two for myself."

She opened the bag a little, revealing a section of bright red lamb's wool inside.

The can of baby formula he was carrying in his other hand was also placed next to the cashier.

Chen Lei also took out a small jar and put it together with the milk powder. "I also prepared some things for her, children's calcium tablets and gummies. My sister-in-law recommended them, saying that my little nephew eats them every day and is growing very strong and tall."

"What should I eat to grow taller?" Ya Ya's crisp voice, mixed with the soft clatter of the stroller wheels on the steps, came from the doorway.

The little guy has sharp ears; he heard about the good stuff that helps you grow taller even before he came in.

We've just made some money, so we can buy some to take home. Everyone can eat it, and they'll all grow tall and strong.
