"What do you know? Mother is practicing martial arts. Only when you become more powerful can you protect you, a fool." Mrs. Liu rolled her eyes at Liu Yujin, said angrily, and continued to practice swordsmanship.
protect yourself? Mother, can she protect herself by acting like a pretentious one? It's alright, as long as the mother is happy.
Liu Yujin greeted her mother and aunt and went out. There is no class today, so he plans to go for a walk around to see the conditions in the fields. This year is a good year, and the harvest should be good.
Wearing simple and neat clothes, Liu Yujin went to the fields by herself. Many tenants greeted Liu Yujin when they saw Liu Yujin.
Liu Yujin smiled and nodded at everyone, stopping from time to time to chat with them.
Two or three tenants were resting by the ridge, and when they saw Liu Yujin coming, they waved at him and asked him if he wanted a glass of water. The tenants usually bring a clay pot and a few bowls by themselves. When they are tired and thirsty, they sit on the ridge to chat a few words and drink a sip of water.
Liu Yujin didn't dislike the bowl without a hole either. After thanking her, she took it and drank it, and then chatted with everyone.
Not far from them, a man was pulling something in the field. That man was Liu Anchang. He is a lazy person, crying every year at Liu Yujin's house and complaining that life is difficult. Liu Yujin gives him rent reduction or exemption every year, so that his own harvest can barely make ends meet.
"Hey! I've never seen such a big snail!" Suddenly, Liu Anchang exclaimed, attracting everyone's attention.
Everyone approached and shouted in amazement, "It's really big! I've never seen such a big snail before."
"This is probably the biggest snail I've ever seen in my life!"
"Can this be eaten for two?"
Liu Yujin also leaned over, and saw that Liu Anchang was holding a large snail in both hands, almost as big as his head. It was really big, he had never seen such a big one before.
"You want to eat it?" Liu Yujin asked.
"Otherwise?" Liu Anchang looked at Liu Yujin like a fool.
"It's not easy for it to grow this big." Liu Yujin said a little unbearably, "Why don't you sell it to me like this."
"Okay, Master Liu, you are usually very good to me, so let's take a tael of silver." Liu Anchang giggled.
Everyone around took a deep breath.
A tael of silver!
Is Liu Anchang crazy about money
How much pork or beef can one tael buy
How many times is this snail meat
This is too tricky, isn't this treating people as fools
"Okay. I'll give you the silver." As a result, Liu Yujin agreed without a word, took out a tael of silver, and handed it to Liu Anchang.
With greedy eyes in Liu Anchang's eyes, he was about to stretch out his hand to take it, only to find that he couldn't hold the snail in his hands, so he was about to throw the snail on the ground.
"Don't move! Don't hurt it!" Liu Yujin shouted anxiously, stopping Liu Anchang's behavior. He stuffed the silver into Liu Anchang's arms, and carefully took the snail with both hands.
"Master Liu, are you going to take it back for offering?" Liu Anchang asked with a smile.
"It's not easy for it to grow so much, do you have the heart to eat it?" Liu Yujin said casually while holding the snail in her hands, looking carefully at the snail in her hand. In fact, he knew that a person like Liu Anchang would not feel any sympathy when he saw such a big snail, and would only think that it was just a meal. He didn't even think about reasoning with him.
"Have the heart, why can't you bear it." Liu Anchang pouted, and then whispered, "Only you can't bear to eat it." It's so stupid to spend a tael of silver on it, haha! Get rich!
