In the end, Bai Erlang was stuffed into the carriage by Mrs. Bai, and Bai Shanbao and the others went to the county town to choose a fortune.
The Bai family is not short of money, so Mrs. Bai generously gave Bai Erlang a purse, and said: "Buy a better one, and when you learn it, you can help mother settle accounts."
Bai Erlang agreed sullenly, but soon after he got in the car, he put this trouble behind him and became happy.
The three friends huddled together in front of the window to look at the flowers and trees outside.
Obviously, I usually watch it while walking, but the feeling of watching it in the car seems to be very different.
Man Bao proposed to sit on the shaft of the car.
Dae-gil, the coachman, refuses.
When Ms. Man Bao sits out, the two young masters will definitely sit out as well. This road is not easy to walk, a bumpy road, people overturned in the car, should he only get his own young master, or get Miss Man Bao first, or keep it first? Master Tang
So in order not to be entangled, he thought they should stay in the car.
Even if the car overturns, it is safest to stay in the car.
The three children expressed their regrets, and then lay on the window looking at the slowly moving flowers and trees. One said that the yellow flower is beautiful, one said that the red one is more beautiful, and the other prefers purple The climbing vine…
This is the time when the flowers bloom the most throughout the year. The temperature is suitable, the water and soil are suitable, and no matter whether it is flowers, grass or trees, they all compete to bloom at this time.
It's just a pity that these Huamanbao have been ravaged, and she hasn't seen any new varieties appear so far.
Of course, there may be, but because she was a little faster in the carriage, she didn't see it.
The three of them bumped all the way to the county seat. As soon as they arrived at the gate of the city, they had to get out of the car and go in by themselves. The county seat is so big, and they finished shopping in a short time by car, which was meaningless at all.
So it's better to walk by yourself.
The three climbed out of the carriage, left Daji and went to line up first.
Man Bao took out a penny from his pocket, and Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang held the penny in their hands as usual, and soon it was their turn.
The three of them lined up according to their age, from young to old, well, they also lined up according to their seniority.
Man Bao walked up to him and spread his small hands towards the soldiers guarding the gate.
The gatekeeper was stunned for a moment, then waved and said, "Go, go, go in."
Man Bao's eyes widened slightly, "Don't you want money?"
The gatekeeper rolled his eyes and said, "I really want to, but the county magistrate said that the city entry fee will be cancelled, as long as the goods are not large-scale goods entering the city, you don't need to pay the city entry fee."
The gatekeeper glanced at the child in front of him, and thought it looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a moment, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go in, the one behind."
Bai Shanbao had already heard it, and his eyes were so happy that he narrowed his eyes, he took a step forward and looked at the guarding soldiers with shining eyes.
The gatekeeper glanced at him, then at Bai Erlang behind him, and waved directly: "Okay, okay, go in quickly, the ones behind, the ones behind, hurry up, those who don't have bulky goods go straight forward, don't Hanging around there, how long do you want to delay with such a small number of people?"
The three little friends rushed into the city holding hands, screaming happily.
Bai Shanbao didn't even know why he was called that, because he wasn't short of that penny, and he didn't feel sorry for the little entrance fee, but he couldn't help being happy seeing Man Bao happy like that.
Man Bao was really happy, she said: "I'll tell Datou the good news when I get home, and they will come to the county if they want to play in the county."
In the past, in the past year or so, the big bosses would only come to the city unless they were sure there was a business to be done. After all, money was required to enter the city.
But now they don't need it anymore, so they can come regardless of whether there is business or not.
Dae-gil trails them one step into town, but he’s not worried about the trio.
The county is so big, not only the three children know the county very well, but also some people in the county know them very well, so if you can't find them, just ask them.
But Daji still kept watching them, making sure they were within his sight.
Leading the carriage and walking behind the three children, they stopped and went to a restaurant. The three of them were sitting around a small booth looking at toys. The carriage and horses were handed over to Xiao Er, and he said, "Feed the good fodder, and we will pick it up later when we come back to eat."
"Okay, don't worry, I will take care of you."
Only then did Daji stand behind the three children, without urging them to go to the bookstore.
The three of them walked around the streets of the county as usual, and after buying some delicious food, they went to the bookstore talking and laughing.
Knowing that they came to buy counting chips, the shopkeeper of the bookstore narrowed his eyes and praised the three of them with a smile, "I didn't expect the young master and the little ladies to learn so quickly that they can learn to count."
He asked Xiao Er to take out two copies of all the good quality chips in the store for them to choose.
The cheapest, of course, is wooden counting chips, and the prices of various wooden counting chips are also very different. Among them, the most expensive is a kind of dark color, a few catties of black wooden counting chips, and it is moist and solid when you touch it , Man Bao couldn't help imitating Mr. Zhuang's appearance and dialed twice.
Slippery and smooth.
Man Bao asked, "How much is this?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "It's not expensive, five hundred Wen."
Man Bao is speechless, isn't it expensive
No wonder the old man said that reading is not something ordinary people can afford.
Man Bao's eyes fell on the other counting chips, and he went through all the wooden counting chips, and then chose two to ask, "How much are they?"
The shopkeeper said with a smile: "This is three hundred Wen, this is two hundred Wen."
He didn't explain why the prices were different, and Manbao didn't need to explain, why else, because they were different, and she could feel the difference when she dialed it now.
Man Bao hesitated for a while, and finally chose the wooden counting chip of two hundred Wen, and then looked at Bai Shanbao.
Bai Shanbao was flipping a jade counting chip, asked the price, and put it aside after learning that it would cost eight taels of silver, then pointed to the remaining black counting chip that Man Bao picked out just now, and said, "I want this."
Bai Erlang hugged a golden counting chip, smiled and squinted and said, "I want this."
The shopkeeper smiled and narrowed his eyes, "This one costs five taels."
The golden counter in Bai Erlang's hand is not pure gold, but plated with copper.
In fact, there are also pure gold ones, but they need to be sold on the spot. At least the shopkeeper is not so stupid to make such things and sell them in the store.
If it can't be sold, isn't it a waste of labor costs
How good is it like this, the copper-plated counting chip looks like real gold, it is beautiful and rich, and it is not expensive.
As long as five taels of silver.
The three paid the money separately, and then entrusted Daji with the wrapped counting chips. Bai Erlang turned around and was about to go out, but Man Bao and Bai Shanbao went into the bookstore to look for books.
Now that we have all gone to the bookstore, of course we want to find out if there are any good new books recently.
Bai Erlang, who had all walked to the door, couldn't help being angry when he saw no one was following him, but he didn't dare to murmur loudly in the quiet bookstore, so he could only mutter: "Really, I look for books all day long, and I have them at home." There are so many books, isn’t it enough to read?”
