Chapter 22 Who is the most embarrassed?
There are one hundred copper plates for one coin, nine hundred copper coins for nine coins, nine strings of coins, pomegranate, even if you haven't weighed it, you know that it is not light, and it takes up a lot of space, so it is inconvenient to bring it with you.

But how many of them, ordinary people, have ever used scraps of silver? A copper plate is more reassuring.

Although Pomegranate also thought it would be convenient to just have a piece of broken silver, she thought that she would have to buy things anyway, and she still had to find someone to replenish the broken silver. If she encountered an unscrupulous shopkeeper and gave her an extra bit, it would be a waste. Money.

He couldn't help but reply: "I want some copper coins, please bother the shopkeeper!"

Ding Fuguang responded with a smile, turned around and took out nine strings of money from under the counter, "Little girl, do you know how to count? You can count clearly."

Pomegranate happily said in front of him: "One, two, eight, nine! Uncle shopkeeper, nine strings of money, that's right!"

Ding Fuguang couldn't help but laugh and said, "Should we take it apart and count it? Are there a hundred in one string?"

"No, the shopkeeper is a man of integrity at first glance!" Shiliu shook his head decisively, separated the nine bunches of money, gave five bunches to Li Rongzong and put them into his backpack, put the fourth bunch into his own basket, and then put the thatched money into his own basket. The group was on top, covering it tightly.

Li Rongzong followed her actions but still felt uneasy. He always felt that it was the first time in his life that he was carrying so much money, and it was like a weight. He was worried about how to cover it up, so he couldn't help but take off his old coat. Put another layer in the backpack.

Shiliu looked at it and stopped him in a hurry, "No, brother, it's okay, but doesn't it mean that there are three hundred taels of silver in this place if you cover your coat? People will pay attention even if they don't pay attention!"

On such a cold day, how could anyone leave a coat without wearing it in a backpack? What big treasure is there in the backpack?
Li Rongzong was stunned for a moment, then thought of this, and hurriedly put on his coat again.

Ding Fuguang, who was on the side, silently watched the actions of the brothers and sisters. He didn't know what past events he was thinking of. A trace of reminiscence flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but said, "Which village are you from? My guy happened to be taking a trip. If By the way, I might as well take you with me."

When Pomegranate heard this, she was overjoyed. Nine strings of money didn't sound like much, but to her, it was a "big sum of money." After all, it was the first big sum she had ever earned in her life.

She was going to buy something, but with this heavy string of money, she didn't dare to stay at all, so she felt relieved to go home quickly.

It's great to have a ride, the main thing is that it's safe and secure!
"Uncle shopkeeper, we are from Changqing Village, are you on your way?" She looked over eagerly.

When Li Rongzong heard her talking about Changqing Village, he subconsciously opened his mouth and wanted to say, "Second sister made a lot of money, so she was so happy that she couldn't even remember her own village." But fortunately, his mind was moving very quickly now. Busy closed his mouth again, not letting out what was in his heart.

Ding Fuguang, who was behind the counter, didn't notice. He immediately answered after Shiliu finished speaking, "Changqing Village, by the way, by the way, you guys wait a minute, I'll give the guy a few words."

His words were answered so quickly that Shiliu couldn't help but suspect that she was cheating. The main reason was that the other party answered her words as soon as she finished speaking, without thinking at all. Was it really just a coincidence?

But her sixth sense, which was always sensitive, didn't feel anything was wrong. Moreover, the shopkeeper's eyes were pure and upright, and he didn't look like a treacherous person. And since the bamboo rat was selling at the highest price, there should be no problem.

And she should be ashamed first. After all, she was so defensive that she accidentally reported the name of the village next door!

The brother and sister didn't wait long before Ding Fuguang came with a waiter and asked them to get on a mule cart in the yard.

Shiliu looked at how most of the things on the mule cart were piled up. They must be delivering goods, so she felt relieved.

But when the mule cart left the market and headed straight for their village, Shiliu felt more relieved.

After all, it was a quick car ride, ten miles away, but within two-quarters of an hour, the mule cart stopped steadily at the village road entrance of Changqing Village.

"Thank you for your hard work, brother. It's really troublesome for shopkeeper Ding. Brother, please drive more slowly!"

Shiliu and Li Rongzong got off the mule cart, smiled and waved to the man, then turned and walked down the village road, walking as slowly as standing still.

The sound of the mule cart walking away, Pomegranate glanced sideways, and then decisively pulled Li Rongzong around and walked back to the avenue, and then walked forward quickly. Come on, come on, we're still two miles away from our village.

The two brothers and sisters kept their heads down and ran all the way, thinking that they would be relieved as soon as they entered the village road of their own village.

But as she walked, Pomegranate heard the sound of wheels.

Oh, this is a highway, and there are cars coming and going, which is normal.

But why does the wheel look familiar? And the sound of a mule?
Shiliu and Li Rongzong raised their heads at the same time, and then faced the oncoming mule cart.

Tsk, the driver looks familiar too——

Hey - isn't this the guy from just now?

Ouch!

Their eyes met, and the entire loess seemed to be filled with unspeakable embarrassment.

It was Pomegranate who reacted quickly and spoke first without changing his expression, "Hey? Brother, aren't you going to Huangkou Town to deliver the goods? Did you deliver it so quickly?"

Well, as long as you are not embarrassed, then the other person will be embarrassed, so what, preemptive strike is also a good way to break the embarrassment!
The waiter surnamed He across the street was also extremely embarrassed. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, the shopkeeper, if you were so kind as to give this little girl and brother and sister a trip, why don't you just say it! But I just wanted to give him a ride. Is that okay now? It’s him who’s embarrassed!

Brother He laughed dryly and replied: "Halfway through, I suddenly remembered that there is another item that is missing! No, hurry back and install it before sending it to others."

"Oh——!" Pomegranate responded, "So that's what happened. Brother, please hurry up and don't delay! If you walk slowly, we won't give you more."

Mr. He couldn't help but hurry up and leave this embarrassing place, so he nodded quickly, drove the mule and went forward.

Still halfway through, he reacted belatedly, Huh? its not right! He had sent the brother and sister to the entrance of Changqing Village. If the brother and sister did not return to the village, where would they continue to go?

He was so puzzled that when he returned to the warehouse, he told his shopkeeper exactly what had happened.

After hearing this, Ding Fuguang raised his eyebrows slightly, touched his beard for a moment, nodded and smiled secretly, "This girl is interesting!"

He sent the waiter away, then turned around and said to the dark-skinned man standing next to him: "Liangda, go and help me with something. Go to Xiahe Village to find out which family has a pomegranate, and inquire about this family's situation. , remember to be careful, don’t be discovered.”

The swarthy man listened to the previous explanation, and when he heard this explanation, he couldn't help but wonder: "Second brother, how can you be sure that this person is from Xiahe Village?"

Ding Fuguang's eyes were deep and he said slowly: "The brother and sister are not worried about the money they have on them. Just in case, it is natural to take a ride as close as possible."

Tianbao Village is four or five miles away, and Shanghe Village is all from the Fan family. He has dealt with the Fan family and knows to some extent that even the poorest families cannot afford to wear clothes and wash their hair. Here are the white clothes.

Therefore, Kawamura was the only one who could not go wrong.

"Go."

The swarthy man still didn't understand, but he didn't ask any more questions, nodded and went out.
