Reborn peasant girl: I became rich overnight by traveling to sea

Chapter 50 A different official lady
Regarding Meng Xia's simple and casual paintings, Chang Pingning and Liu Qingwan were not sure whether they would really be shocked by them.But when they saw Meng Xia's confident expression, they felt that it wouldn't be much worse.

Therefore, Chang Pingning and Liu Qingwan followed the list given by Meng Xia and bought the cooking utensils they needed to set up a stall tomorrow at the shops in the town.

What surprised Chang Pingning was that Liu Qingwan looked otherworldly and had a clear sense of money. He would actively ask her to shop around and bargain with shopkeepers.

What surprised Chang Pingning even more was that Liu Qingwan also took the initiative to ask residents in the town where things were sold cheaply.Try not to buy pots and pans that cost dozens of yuan in shops on the street.

This kind of Liu Qingwan is very different from the image of a "noble person" in Chang Pingning's impression.Chang Pingning looked at Liu Qingwan who was bargaining with the shop owner in front of her, and wondered what she had gone through to become like this?

Moreover, what on earth did the Liu family commit?He was exiled here.

"Let's go. I think everything has been bought." Liu Qingwan picked up the other end of the pole. The iron pot she finally bought was too heavy, so Liu Qingwan asked the shop owner to buy a pole so that the two of them could lift the two ends of the pole. , take away the iron pot.

"Okay." Chang Pingning was awakened by Liu Qingwan's words. She looked at the pole in front of her and stretched out her hand to lift it.

Seeing this, Liu Qingwan also reached out and picked up the pole.

The two walked in tandem.

Chang Pingning looked at Liu Qingwan's back in front of her, feeling a little stunned: she could imagine herself and her mother, Chang Pingyan, mother-in-law, and even Meng Xia lifting the pole in tandem.

But she couldn't imagine that she and a noble lady like Liu Qingwan were carrying both ends of the pole at the same time, but she was doing this, and it was Liu Qingwan who suggested it.

Miss Liu's journey from exile must have been very difficult.

Chang Pingning was thinking to himself when he heard a voice coming from the front.

"Ning Ning, are you tired?" Liu Qingwan asked.

Well, this is like the Guanjiajiao lady in Chang Pingning's impression. She will get tired before she does a heavy workload.

"A bit. How about we take a break." Chang Pingning responded.

Sure enough, after her suggestion, Liu Qingwan immediately put down the pole in her hand and moved her wrist.But when Liu Qingwan turned around and saw Chang Pingning's unresponsive look, she smiled sheepishly at Chang Pingning.

Chang Pingning quickly looked around and noticed that there seemed to be a small temple across the street. It didn't look big, but there was some incense smell coming from inside.

"This seems to be a temple, should I go in and take a look?" Chang Pingning pointed to the small temple and said to Liu Qingwan, and asked, "You..."

"I'll wait for you here." Liu Qingwan replied with a smile and simply rested on the spot.

Chang Pingning walked into the small temple and came out again after a while.

Looking at Liu Qingwan who was almost resting, Chang Pingning offered: "Qingwan, how about I carry these things alone? It should be much easier to hold them on both ends of the pole than before."

Liu Qingwan looked surprised: "Can you handle such a heavy thing alone?"

"It's okay. My family...my natal family used to farm. When the farming was busy, I would carry the rice harvested to the drying field." Chang Pingning said, stepping forward to tie the purchased cooking utensils to the poles. both ends.

However, she was stopped by Liu Qingwan: "It's better for the two of us to mention it together, otherwise I won't seem to have done anything. When I go back to share the money later, I will be embarrassed to share one-third." Liu Qingwan's expression was very sincere.

Unexpectedly, Liu Qingwan would have such an idea. In this case, Chang Pingning did not continue to ask himself to bear all the cooking utensils.However, they also teased Meng Xia, who was not at the scene: She didn't do heavy work in the afternoon and didn't bake oysters in the morning, so she must be given less points.

So when Meng Xia saw the other two people at the gate of the town, they all smiled at him maliciously.

"What's wrong?" Meng Xia was alert.

"It's nothing, it's too heavy." Liu Qingwan said, it was just teasing, but the way they agreed to share the money would not change. "What about you? Where did you go to relax in the afternoon?"

"It's not easy for me." Meng Xia's face was red. She pulled up her collar to show her sweaty collar to the two people opposite her. "I spent the entire afternoon roasting by the stove in the blacksmith shop, talking to the blacksmith about how to build a barbecue grill. I didn't expect that. His understanding ability is so poor that he can’t understand the pictures I drew.”

After hearing Meng Xia's words, Chang Pingning's mind flashed to the "painting" that looked like a ghostly drawing talisman.It would be strange if the blacksmith could understand it, right?

"What is the barbecue grill?" Liu Qingwan asked, looking behind Meng Xia.

"The blacksmith doesn't make things that fast. It takes a few days." Meng Xia looked at the curious two people in front of him and answered, equally surprised, "You don't know about barbecue grills? That's right. No wonder the blacksmith doesn't know what I'm talking about."

The three of them talked about the things they bought in the afternoon. Chang Pingning saw Meng Xia checking the things tied on the pole with those on her list. After confirming that nothing was missing, she was ready to return to Guojiacun.

Chang Pingning and Liu Qingwan lifted both ends of the pole at the same time.

"What are you doing?" Meng Xia was surprised, as if she just realized what she was doing, "You didn't carry things like this this afternoon, did you?"

Chang Pingning and Liu Qingwan looked at each other, then nodded to Meng Xia at the same time.

Meng Xia sighed: "Shall I rent a cheap donkey cart? If we walk back like this, even if you are not tired, we will have to get to the village after dark."

Chang Pingning saw this and nodded.

But Liu Qingwan hesitated: "How to calculate the money?"

"From the money Ning Ning earned in the morning, all three of us have to get on the bus anyway." Meng Xia said nonchalantly, but immediately looked at the two people in front of him warily, "No one would say that if you want to save money, you are not willing to Take a car back?"

Quiet for a while.

"Okay, no one is talking, I'm going to rent a car." Meng Xia said, turned and left them.

Chang Pingning was surprised. She was actually a little reluctant to give up money, but when she thought about the money she earned in the morning, she felt that it didn't matter if she just spent a few pennies to take a train.

And Liu Qingwan didn't care anymore.Before she came to this place, when she was in the capital, she always traveled by horse-drawn carriage.Since someone suggested it, she would not object.Besides, the cooking utensils she and Chang Pingning bought in the afternoon were indeed very heavy.

Not long after, the three of them sat on the donkey cart rented by Meng Xia, putting the cooking utensils aside, and drove towards Guojia Village.

On the donkey cart, Chang Pingning noticed Meng Xia muttering something alone. After listening for a while, he vaguely heard some money figures.I don’t know what Meng Xia is planning, but looking at Meng Xia’s confidence, he will definitely be able to make money with them both.

As the donkey cart swayed forward, Chang Pingning couldn't help but think: She sold a bucket of oysters all morning and processed dozens of oysters. How much money would she get?
