: Lost money

"It's not easy to make such a small amount of money without negotiating the price. We didn't sleep much all night."

"Okay! Give me two."

There are many ways to eat fish here, and everyone likes it. Because no one raises fish, they are all wild, so the price can be very high.

Soon most of the fish were sold.

But there were not many people in the market at the back, and no one came to buy fish anymore. They were preparing to close the stall.

Ah Li ran up to a middle-aged man.

"Uncle, do you want to buy live fish?"

The middle-aged man and the boy stopped.

"This girl knows how to do business at such a young age. It's not bad."

So he followed Ah Li to the bucket.

"I bought all your fish and the bucket too. Please calculate how much silver it costs."

Lin Errong had a bright smile on his face and immediately responded: "Master, please wait a moment, it will be settled soon."

Just a few seconds.

"The master's twelve articles total one hundred and twenty coins. The wooden barrel is not worth a few bucks, so I will give it to you. I hope you will have the opportunity to take care of me again in the future."

The middle-aged man raised the corner of his mouth and looked Lin Errong up and down, "You are all very good at business. Our old ladies love to eat fish. Next time you still have fish, please bring it directly to Cheng Mansion. I am Cheng Mansion's kitchen manager.

Ming, just tell me your name next time you come."

"Okay, thank you very much, Manager Cheng, for taking care of me. I will definitely go when the time comes."

Lin Errong was very excited. The Cheng family was a well-known family in Yecheng. Not only was their family rich, the eldest son of the Cheng family had been nominated for the gold medal in the first two years and won the second place. Later, he served in the Hanlin Academy of the imperial court. He had a bright future.

After Cheng Ming paid the money, the boy who followed him immediately picked up the barrel, and the two of them left.

Today they made a total of 350 Wen, and Lin Errong's happy face never left the smile.

This is much more than what he can earn by going to the dock for a day to carry out work. What's more, he also gets to know people from the Cheng family, and he will find a way to sell fish in the future.

"Li Li, Da Lang Er Lang must be hungry! Let's go, I will take you to buy meat buns to eat."

The three children were so happy when they heard that there was delicious food and they jumped to the bun stall.

Looking at the steaming white fat buns, which are steaming and fragrant, the three kids couldn't help but salivate.

"Boss, here are six steamed buns and two steamed buns."

"Okay, sir, wait a moment."

Less than a minute after they sat down, the owner of the bun shop brought the buns to the table.

"Baozi costs one penny, and steamed buns cost two cents, a total of seven cents."

Lin Errong took out the handkerchief that Pei had given him in the morning from his pocket, counted seven cents and gave it to the bun shop owner.

"Your Majesty, please use it with ease!"

The boss took the money and went to work.

A Li and Dalang Erlang were given two steamed buns each. Lin Errong took the steamed buns and started to eat them.

Dalang was older and wiser, so he took a bun and gave it to Lin Errong.

"Second uncle, you eat steamed buns, I'll be full after just one."

When Erlang saw this, he also took a bun and brought it to his father.

"Dad, if you eat, one is enough for me."

Ah Li also followed suit, "Second brother, you eat."

Lin Errong touched the heads of the three children and said, "You guys eat, I'll just eat the steamed buns. If you can't finish them, keep them for home. I'll buy some more Sanlang Shilang later."

Ah Li said "Ah woo" and bit into the fat bun.

As a result, her mouth was too small and she couldn't take a bite of the stuffing.

After a few bites, I tasted the meaty stuffing and called it "fragrant".

Ah Li, who has never eaten white-flour meat buns, has unlocked another delicacy.

After eating the steamed buns, Lin Errong planned to take them home.

As they were walking, they suddenly saw a rich lady with a big belly getting off the sedan. A silk bag fell from her body to the ground.

They went straight into a store without realizing they had dropped something.

Ah Li ran over, picked it up, and trotted after him.

Lin Errong and Dalang Erlang quickly chased after him, fearing that Ah Li would get lost.

After Ah Li went in, he found the rich lady who had dropped something.

Walked up to her and said in her soft and waxy voice: "Sister, you dropped something, Lili picked it up for you."

The rich lady took the bag and opened it in confusion. Isn't this the child's longevity lock they just bought at the jewelry store in front?

Then I groped around on my body and found that the things on my body were really missing.

The pretty little girl in front of her was so cute that she couldn't help but fall in love with her.

"Oh, thank you, little girl. At a young age, you know how to pick up gold."

She knew from the way Ah Li was dressed that the conditions at home were not very good.

Then he asked the maid next to him to take a piece of broken silver, at least two taels, and handed it to Ah Li.

"Little girl, I don't have anything else with me. I'm thanking you for this little money. You can take it and buy something delicious!"

Ah Li looked at the rich wife with big watery eyes and shook his head, "Thank you, sister, I can't have it."

"You can accept it. This is what I want to thank you for. The things I dropped are worth much more than this."

Ah Li looked around, his eyes lit up, he pointed to the pen and paper on the table next to him and said, "Can I have that?"

It turns out that this is a bookstore, and the rich lady also comes to get pens and paper.

The affection in the rich wife's eyes was even more obvious.

"Why do you want paper and pen? Can you write?"

Ah Li shook his head, "I can't, third brother can."

She understood now that this little girl might want pen and paper for her third brother.

So he told the shopkeeper next to him, "Bring a set of pens and paper, and more paper."

The shopkeeper standing next to me bowed respectfully and answered "Yes" before going down.

"Little girl, what's your name?"

"My name is Lili."

"Li Li, it sounds so nice. My name is Lan Qinxue. You can call me Aunt Xue."

"Shouldn't I call you sister?"

"I'm older than you."

At this time, Lin Errong ran in and walked to A Li to see that she was fine and felt relieved.

"Are you Li Li's father?" Lan Qinxue asked Lin Errong.

"Madam, I misunderstood. I am Lili's second brother. Children are not sensible. I didn't rush into you, did I?"

He knew that there were many rich people in this city who were not easy to mess with, and he was afraid that these people would hurt Ah Li.

"I see, Lili can call me sister." Lan Qinxue said with a smile in her eyes.

Lin Errong is exactly twenty years old this year, and Lan Qinxue is about the same age as him.

"Li Li is very good. She picked up something and brought it to me specially. To express her gratitude, I asked someone to prepare some paper and pen. Please don't refuse."

"Paper... pen!"

These two things were really luxurious for their farm family. In the past, when Lin Sanrong wrote, he would copy books for bookstores to practice calligraphy and save money to buy paper and pen.

Unexpectedly, he was so generous and gave him pen and paper as soon as he picked up something. This really shocked Lin Errong. Then he thought about it and it was not surprising that this happened to Ah Li.
