Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Chapter 136: Eat and eat

Views:

Man Bao and Zhou Xi hadn't been to the county seat for a long time. Thinking that Zhou Dalang and his side were not so fast, they didn't go to the front of the county government office. Instead, they walked down the street and walked back to Jishitang.

Zhou Xi stood at the gate of Jishi Hall, and said to his younger brothers and sisters, "Go and play, I'll go see the doctor first."

He also told Zhou Zhoulang and Zhou Wulang, "Be sure to take care of Manbao."

Zhou Zhoulang glibly said, "Elder sister, don't worry, even if we lose ourselves, we won't lose Yaomei."

Although Man Bao also cared about the elder sister's health, he was also very enthusiastic about shopping. After weighing it, he took out a candy from his pocket and put it in Zhou Xi's palm, and said, "Eldest sister, you should see a doctor first. If you are taking a bitter medicine, eat a candy first."

Zhou Xi responded with a smile. In fact, she hadn't come to get medicine for a long time, mainly because she didn't have much money on her body, but now she has income again. Zhou Xi regrets her life now, and still wants to heal her body. .

Without the eldest sister being an eyesore, Zhou Zhoulang went crazy, picked up Manbao at once, and rushed towards the crowd.

Friday Lang and Saturday Lang also yelled and followed.

Some people on the street looked at the four of them like country bumpkins, but more of them looked at them with good intentions. Most of the people who came to hang out in the street today were young people from the village. Like Zhou Dalang and the others, they were all carrying food. tax.

The county seat is so big, with three streets vertically and horizontally, the busiest one is the street in the middle of the county government office. Zhou Zhoulang finished shopping the street in a short time, then he stopped in front of a steamed stuffed bun shop, lowered his head and asked the person standing beside him Man Bao, "Are you hungry?"

Man Bao nodded, he only came out after eating breakfast in the morning, but it is almost noon now, can you not be hungry

Zhou Zhou Lang swallowed his saliva looking at the delicious buns, but in the end Man Bao couldn't resist the temptation and took money out of his pocket to buy them.

But she is not stupid, she just looked at the three brothers and said: "The eldest brother, the second brother and the third brother and the eldest sister are all hungry."

Her ten penny is definitely not enough.

When the other three heard this, they made a quick decision, "You don't have enough money, so use ours to make up for it."

Only then was Man Bao happy, and stepped forward to choose the buns.

The buns are very big, and there are vegetarian buns and meat buns. The vegetarian buns cost one penny each, while the meat buns cost two pennies.

Man Bao weighed it and decided to buy half of the same.

She counted the number of people, and decided to buy eight vegetarian buns and eight meat buns, exactly 20 Wen.

Man Bao gave out her ten coins, glanced at the three elder brothers, and decisively took out four coins from Zhou Zhoulang's share. , so you have to pay more, you still have four pennies in my place."

Zhou Zhoulang's eyes widened, and he said dissatisfiedly, "What can you do with the remaining four cents? You might as well just give it to me."

For four pennies, if he had to buy it himself, he would be able to buy two meat buns and one vegetarian bun.

Man Bao covered the money, shook his head and refused, "No, saving money means accumulating less money, how can you not save it because it only has four coins, you can save four coins today, and save four coins tomorrow. In those ten days, it would be forty wen, and in one hundred days, it would be four hundred wen.”

"Didn't you say that money is money only when it's in circulation, and it's copper coins when it's not in circulation, then..."

"You are so stupid," Man Bao looked at him contemptuously, "This is to prevent risks. The copper coins are kept in storage. If there is a big event in the future, won't it be circulated? Otherwise, if you spend it all now, you will need money in the future , where did you get the money?"

Zhou Lang was in a mess in the wind, and he said frantically: "You have to say everything, that's not what you and elder sister said just now."

Man Bao took it for granted: "You are not the eldest sister."

Thursday Lang: ...

Man Bao Qiankun was arbitrary, waved his little hand and said: "That's it."

She came forward with the money, and smiled sweetly at the stall owner, and asked, "We bought so much, can you give us an extra vegetarian bag?"

The stall owner had already paid attention to them. After all, there was still some time before noon, and there were not many people eating at this point.

There were four people standing in front of the stall, and these four people were still drooling at his steamer. It was hard for him to pretend not to see, so he also heard what Man Bao said just now.

He always thought he was clever enough, but Man Bao's calculation just now still made his head swell. He counted with his fingers and found that the sixteen buns were indeed twenty Wen. After hesitating, he added more to her. He picked up a plain bag and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll give you one."

Man Bao smiled sweetly at him.

The buns were wrapped in lotus leaves, and four bags were sorted in total. The four of them hugged a bag each, and they couldn't help swallowing, and then unanimously decided to go back to find someone.

Man Bao ran ahead on short legs, first went to Jishitang to find Zhou Xi, and then dragged her to the county government to find Zhou Dalang and the others.

Zhou Dalang and others were standing in the queue, moving forward slowly.

There are a lot of people rushing to pay taxes today, so it was not their turn after moving for a long time. The head bookkeeper in front is leading his staff to calculate the grain tax, while the people on the side are weighing. In order to get a lottery, take the lottery to the side to get the receipt, and this year's grain tax will be paid.

Zhou Wulang rushed forward to find Zhou Dalang with the buns in his arms, and after a while Zhou Dalang and Zhou Zhoulang came out. Seeing the lotus leaves in their hands, Zhou Dalang felt heartbroken, "Man Bao wants to eat, just buy her two." , why did you buy so many?"

Zhou Wulang: "The fourth brother asked me to buy it."

Zhou Zhou Lang glared at him, Zhou Da Lang glared at Zhou Lang, and asked, "Whose money? Where did you get so much money?"

Zhou Zhou Lang said: "Brother, we got money from selling ginger, only once a year, before the autumn harvest, everyone was tired for two months, what's the matter with a good meal, and it's because Manbao loves us, right? precious."

Man Bao nodded, squatted on the ground and opened the lotus leaf, picked out a relatively large steamed stuffed bun and handed it to Zhou Dalang, and said eagerly, "Brother, eat quickly."

Zhou Dalang couldn't help but feel soft-hearted, and after taking it, he broke open the bun, saw that it was a meat bun, and handed it to Man Bao, asking her to eat the stuffing inside.

Man Bao took it, gnawed it one by one, and then stuffed the lotus leaves to Zhou Dalang.

Everyone squatted on the ground to eat. Knowing that the buns were one vegetarian and the other meat, they shared them among themselves.

Zhou Dalang didn't eat much, and got up after eating two, "I'll go and replace the third one."

Man Bao was still trying to nibble on the bun in her hand. She thought it was delicious, but her stomach seemed a little small, and she couldn't eat any more after eating one.

She felt a little regretful, so she just looked at her brothers and sisters.

Zhou Zhoulang had fun while eating, and said to her: "You have to grow up, and you will be able to eat two buns in two years."

Zhou Xi glared at him, telling him not to make Man Bao angry, she opened her own meat bun, and took out the stuffing for Man Bao to eat.

Man Bao shook his head after taking a bite, "I can't eat, I'm very full."

Zhou Xi touched her protruding belly, smiled slightly, and then ate the rest.
