Yo, grandpa is here

Chapter 64

"Rename? Grandma Zu, have you come up with an imposing name?"

Ever since Yu Fuyao got a satisfactory name, he was very energetic when he heard that the family grandma wanted to change her name.

"You can't choose the imposing one, there is a saying in my hometown——"

Chen Qingqing originally wanted to say, don't pretend to be forceful, pretend to be struck by lightning.

Considering it is too vulgar and inappropriate, I modified it slightly.

"I have an old friend who is crazy like Qing, and now the grave is full of green grass."

Yu Fuyao's mother and daughter were so frightened that they gasped, why are grave mounds coming out?

"What kind of word do we have, it's so unlucky, it makes people think it's too unlucky, and you want to go around it?" Chen Qingqing asked.

Seeing the dazed faces of the two girls, Chen Qingqing simply gave them some more inspiration and said to them:
"In our hometown, the bandits are particularly taboo to say the word 'eat' before robbing, because 'rice' is the same as the word 'offender', and they say 'step on the plate' when they are in a pit, which sounds like they are about to go to jail. "

Bandits in every place have their own set of slang words, and many of these slang words originate from the taboo of certain words.

The taboos of bandits all come from superstition.

Ever since Chen Qingqing discovered that the bandits were superstitious, she began to think about changing the name of the village.

She wanted to choose a name that sounded very unlucky, and the bandits would want to detour at a glance.

"That said, I do remember a few"

Yao Yao Niang was inspired, and immediately provided Chen Qingqing with a few words.

"Grandma, can you stop bandits from coming to our village by changing your name?" Yu Fuyao's mother thought it was a mystery.

"Yes—almost forgot, find someone to come over and run my errands for me."

Chen Qingqing remembered.

Yu Cun's two brothers said that she had to find someone to look at the cliff his mother fell into.

I was supposed to drop by today to see it, but the itinerary was delayed because of saving people.

Chen Qingqing already had the answer in her heart, and it was just a process to find someone to confirm it again, to confirm her guess was correct.

As it turned out, she was right.

The place where the two brothers and mothers fell has another name, Dafengpo.

Gale, these two characters are too unlucky for local bandits.

The place where death row prisoners are held locally is called Dafengtang, so the bandits felt unlucky after knowing the name of the place and refused to approach it.

The mothers of the two little brothers saved their lives.

Chen Qingqing memorized all the unlucky words Yaoyaoniang said, and after Buli came back, she discussed with him to choose the most exciting village name.

Yu Buli hurried back from the city, and when he entered the village, he saw Chen Qingqing directing the crowd to carry wooden boards.

Seeing him coming back, Chen Qingqing happily went up to meet him, and saw that there were a lot of things on the donkey cart.

There are scales, iron pans, and other odds and ends. Everyone in the car was beaming with joy except for Yu Buli.

"Grandma Zu, Grandpa Zu sold a lot of money this time. We sold all the herbs, and Grandpa Zuzu bought it for you..." Yu Cun was stared at by Yu Buli, and secretly stuck out his tongue.

Grandpa Forgot Zu didn't let him talk about it, and almost leaked the secret.

It's a good thing Chen Qingqing didn't hear clearly, otherwise this kid would definitely suffer from an inseparable iron fist.

Hearing that the money was sold, other villagers swarmed over and looked at Yu Buli eagerly.

Yu Buli took his basket from the donkey cart, and the clanging of copper coins inside made everyone swallow their mouths in unison.

It has been a long time since the men in the village were arrested and sent to fight.

Yu Buli took out the stringed copper coins, put them on the ground, and motioned for Yu Da to repay the account.

This kid is not very old and timid, but he has an excellent memory and has an unforgettable memory, so he doesn't have to keep accounts when he goes out.

Yu Da was a little nervous and stuttered when he spoke. Under the urging of Yu Buli, he dared to report tremblingly:

"This time we entered the city, we brought a total of 102 catties of medicinal herbs, including 2 kinds of medicinal herbs worth 5 cents a tael, adding up to 56 catties, and sold them."

Yu Da bit his lip, looked at Yu Buli, Yu Buli nodded, motioning for him to continue.

"I sold 1 hang and 792 copper coins, and the extra 2 copper coins were erased by the grandpa."

Everyone gasped, there were too many!

"Yo, Yu Da, when will you settle accounts? Don't you fool us with this number? Do you know how to calculate accounts?"

Discordant voices came from the crowd. Everyone looked over and saw that the second aunt was standing in disgrace at the entrance of the village with a sour look on her face.

"Didn't you go back to your mother's house?" Chen Qingqing saw her raising her eyebrows.

"As for the grandmother of the Hui nationality, if I marry Yujiagou, I will be from Yujiagou, so it's not good to go to my mother's house all the time." The second aunt said with a smile, but her eyes drifted to the few hanging coins on the ground.

There seemed to be little hooks in his eyes, wishing to hook all the money to himself.

When Yujiagou was in trouble, she ran the fastest, but when it came to sharing money, she felt that she was an inseparable part of Yujiagou.

"Oh." Chen Qingqing looked her up and down, and saw that her hair was a little loose, her forehead was covered with sweat, and she seemed to be running in a hurry.

This day, I went back and forth many times, and I had to delay for several hours on the road. There was only one reason for the second aunt's lazy urination, which made her so tossing——

"What happened to your mother's village? The bandits ran to their village to make trouble?"

"How do you know?!" The second aunt stared wide-eyed, did the family grandma open her eyes?

She was originally happy to go back to her natal home to spread rumors about Yujiagou, and she also thought about staying at her natal home for a few days, so it would be best to let her natal family help her find out if there is a suitable man to remarry.

After chatting for a while, before I even had time to have a bite of dinner, I heard that the bandits were coming towards the village.

She was so scared that she ran away and ran back hungry.

As soon as she returned to Yujia Village, she caught up with the money distribution. Seeing Yu Da paying the bill there, she committed a foul talk, so she jumped out to question.

Chen Qingqing looked at her with a half-smile and didn't speak, but it was enough to make the second aunt feel chills on her back, and hurriedly changed the topic to the penny.

"Yu Da, you don't even know a single word in Dou Da, and I'll give you three cakes to share with four people who can't tell the difference. How did you learn how to count money?"

Yu Da, who was questioned, blushed in anxiety.

"I don't know how to calculate, but I heard it when Grandpa Zu settled the accounts! A catty is 16 taels, 2 cents a tael, which is 792 cents for a penny. I heard it carefully! The shopkeeper wanted to fool me at first. Grandpa Zu, when he said that he was hanging money, Grandpa Zu beat his head with an abacus before he said the real number!"

Farmers rarely know how to make calculations, and it’s easy to sell things in small quantities. This kind of big deal is easy to be fooled by people. Let her pick the pharmacy among the girls who go first, and pick the rest to go to other places. pharmacy.

The shopkeeper of the pharmacy wanted to lie to him, but Yu Buli hit his forehead with an abacus, knowing that he had encountered a hard problem, he obediently settled the account.

The second aunt heard that Yu Da said that Yu could not leave, she laughed dryly.

"Since it's calculated by Grandpa Zu, it can't be wrong. Hey, even if it's wrong, we don't know. It's more or less."

She almost said "how much is up to you".

　I know that a catty is called ten taels in modern times. This book refers to the background of the early Ming Dynasty, and a catty is 16 taels.
