The school is located in the southeast of the village, while the two brothers’ homes are in the northwest of the village, which means that the two brothers have to travel through most of the village to go to and from school.

Since his father's death, Chen Zige and Chen Ziyin were raised by his father's friend Uncle Lang. Fortunately, Uncle Lang has been taking great care of them and regards the two brothers as their own.

Otherwise, how could they raise the two of them so white and fat?

After leaving the school, bypassed the playground where the hunting team and the demon hunting team gathered, passed the village's convention hall, and took a little further away. Chen Zige took Chen Ziyin to the small market in the village.

There is no unified currency in the Great Wilderness, and transactions are bartered and exchanged if they feel the value is almost the same.

Of course, after years of exchanging things for goods, people have default exchange standards for all kinds of common things.

There has been a rough division of labor in the village, so the small market is considered prosperous.

A street is up and down the village market.

Since Xishan Village is located on the hillside, most of the houses are high-legged chandeliers.

The high-legged chandelier building has at least two floors, which is a unique place for mountain people to live.

Because the mountain is rugged and uneven, the first floor is a huge wooden stake that penetrates deeply into the ground. It is surrounded by fences and can be used to raise livestock or store goods. The second floor or above is the residence of people.

The residents on this street specially built the first floor slightly higher as a shop along the street.

When he arrived at this street, Chen Ziyin seemed to be alive, jumping and walking in front of him, looking at various things with clear and curious eyes.

Chen Zige walked behind Chen Ziyin and followed Chen Ziyin with a helpless look on his face.

The market in the village sells some basic daily necessities, such as salt, food, etc.

Chen Zige didn't know why Chen Ziyin found it interesting in such a place.

Chen Ziyin walked in front and sometimes greeted someone he met.

Xishan Village is also called Chenjia Village. Basically, those with the surname Chen are related to each other in the village.

Therefore, along the way, the two brothers always meet some villagers they know.

Soon we arrived at the place where Chen Ziyin dreamed of - a store selling caramel!

Speaking of willow caramel, it is just a special willow juice solidified, with a light white appearance, and a hint of sweetness when eaten, and astringent taste.

Willow caramel, which grows in this mountainous area, is the main sugar in Xishan Village. Due to its wide planting area, its value is not particularly high.

However, for two brothers who cannot even support themselves if they live independently, the price is naturally high.

Generally speaking, few people choose to eat raw caramel. As a ready-made product, the caramel sold on the market is directly solidified from the juice of the sap of the charred tree.

After buying willow caramel, the villagers will boil it over low heat to make it into a sticky juice. After cooling it again, it will appear two layers of upper and lower. The top is the edible willow caramel.

Of course, this taste will not be very good, the purpose is to remove the astringent taste of willow caramel.

Chen Zige has no interest in this kind of sugar, but this kind of willow caramel is Chen Ziyin's favorite.

Moreover, Chen Ziyin’s favorite food is this ready-made willow caramel, which is really strange!

The shop selling willow caramel is full of sealed pots of large and small, filled with willow caramel.

The one who sells Willow Caramel is also a relative of the brothers. His name is Chen Da, who is the cousin of the brothers' father.

When he walked into the store, Chen Da was busy dealing with a few pieces of fresh meat.

There was a small jar of gray-white coarse salt on his right hand, and in front of him were several large pieces of fresh meat in a large basin.

Chen Da grabbed a handful of coarse salt from the salt pot with one hand and applied it hard on the greasy fresh meat, repeating it over and over again until all parts of the meat are coated with coarse salt.

Chen Da marinated the meat very seriously, and some of them did not notice the arrival of the two brothers.

Chen Ziyin couldn't wait, so she stood on tiptoe, lay on the table, shouting at Chen Da:

"Uncle Dazi! Uncle Dazi! Give me two pieces of willow caramel!"

Chen Da looked back at this time, blinked at the dazzling sunshine outside, and saw Chen Ziyin who had been waiting for a long time with only one eye, and said in surprise:

"Boy Yin is here!"

At this time, Chen Zige pressed Chen Ziyin down and said to Chen Da with a smile:

"It's enough to give him one!"

Chen Ziyin looked unhappy, but she didn't say anything, but lowered her head and broke free from Chen Zige's hand, lay on the table again, looking at the one-eyed Chen Da with anticipation.

Chen Da lost one eye in his early years, and now he is nearly thirty years old and has not been married. He is busy with his own affairs every day, a little withdrawn and not very good at speaking. Therefore, his family's business is not very prosperous. He has always been a few close relatives who help take care of the business.

There are several companies selling caramel on the market. Chen Da runs this store miserably every day, occasionally going to other places to make a move to maintain his life.

Chen Ziyin would come to Chen Da every time she bought caramel, and Chen Da also liked the two brothers very much.

Chen Ziyin will give you more every time she comes to buy willow caramel, and sometimes she will give it to Chen Ziyin for free.

I don’t know if this is the reason why Chen Ziyin likes to come to Chen Da to buy caramel.

But among the two brothers, Chen Da prefers Chen Ziyin.

Chen Da stood up and showed his whole face in front of the two brothers.

The right eye has been completely lost, and the original right eye is a twisted scar.

The remaining left eye was a little cloudy, and the beard was already very long, standing upright, a little greasy.

The dark muscles on the body stand up one by one, showing strong power.

Eight copper cloud patterns on the collar that were almost covered by greasy stains flashed by

Chen Da took a black cloth full of greasy and wiped his hands, but did not wipe the salt stains on his hands and the greasy meat.

He took a small clay pot with some dust from his hand and removed the cloth on it. Suddenly, a fragrance filled the air, and it faded after a long time.

Chen Da looked at Chen Ziyin and was looking forward to it:

"Boy Yin, this is something I specially left for you! I just made it two days ago! It was the willow caramel taken from the big willow charred tree in Hexi! Smell it! Is it fragrant!"

Chen Da's remaining eyes were full of pride.

Chen Ziyin looked at the small can of willow caramel, swallowed her saliva, and said weakly:

“It looks really delicious!”

Chen Zige, who was watching from the side, felt a bad feeling and touched his pocket.

Chen Da was even more proud, covered the seal again, pushed the small clay pot to Chen Ziyin, waved his hand and said:

"This small jar is not worth much, so you can take it back and eat it slowly! Don't be polite to me!"

Chen Ziyin bit her finger with a tangled look on her face, shook her head and said:

"How can that work!"

Chen Zige breathed a sigh of relief from the side.

Chen Da glanced at Chen Zige, put his head close to Chen Ziyin, and then whispered to Chen Ziyin:

"You come back and see me more often, just don't bring your brother here!"
Chapter completed!
