The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 430: Taking Grandpa and Grandma to Play in the City
The old men and women all listened to her with smiles on their faces and nodded their heads.

"Cruising the lake? I've been to the city once before and heard people say that Chengyue Lake in the city is very big? Are you talking about cruising in this lake?" asked Patriarch Li.

"It's this lake!" Shi Liu nodded. "The crabs in Chengyue Lake are also good! Autumn is a good time to try them. You can try them!"

"Crab? Is it the little thing pressed under the rocks in our Xishui ditch? What's so delicious about it?" Old Man Li curled his lips. He and his eldest brother had moved crabs since they were young!

Before Shi Liu could say anything, Li Yishan glared at him, "The crabs Shi Liu was talking about are not the same as the ones you mentioned! I heard from Ji Li that the crabs they eat are as big as your palm and have lots of meat. They are not as big as the fingernail crabs in our ditches."

"Really?" Old Man Li really didn't know that they were all crabs, so what was the difference? He looked at Shi Liu with the look of a country bumpkin about to go to the city and said, "Okay, we'll listen to you anyway. We'll eat whatever you say!"

Shi Liu smiled and said, "Okay! Don't worry, Grandpa. I promise you will have a good time eating and playing this time!"

She had everything planned out. Half a month would be enough time for her to travel around and eat all over the city!
We have to go to the theater, Chengyue Lake, and Tanshui Temple...

I want to eat the big crabs, the old brand of Shuipen mutton, and the steamed mandarin fish from Yipinju...

There aren’t many people, so the arrangements are just right!
There is no one else this time, only she and her three old men and three old ladies are celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival in the capital.

At home, Lin is almost eight months old and is not suitable for traveling far, so Song naturally will not leave.

As for the others, they were busy working in the workshop, and they would be reluctant to not earn wages for half a month if they were asked to go.

In short, apart from the old man and the old woman, she is the only idle person who can go out freely!

Speaking of which, Shi Liu was very happy that Old Man Li and the others were willing to go to the city with her to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

So, be sure to have a good time!

In the evening, the ship arrived safely at Luochuan Wharf.

Before getting off the boat, he saw the lights and bustling crowds on the river bank. Father Li was so excited that he opened his mouth wide, "Oh my, the pier of this prefecture is inside the city!"

After getting off the boat and the carriage drove into the street, Shi Liu simply asked them to lift up the curtains so that they could see outside.

"There are so many people in the city! It's so lively at this late hour?"

"It's not a festival, but look how bright the lanterns are. How much lamp oil must have been used tonight!"

"Wow, look at that restaurant. The number of people eating inside is almost as many as the seats in our village! It's quite crowded!"

"Look over there, there's something breathing fire!"

"What fire-breathing? That's a circus! Don't go watch it. You'll have to pay for it!"

The two carriages were moving one after the other. There were many people on the street, so they couldn't move fast. Several old ladies and old men had their necks almost sticking out of the carriage, and their chattering could be heard clearly from both sides.

Just as Old Yuan was yelling angrily, Old Man Li spoke up very "knowledgeably", saying, "Don't look at me, I want money!"
Shi Liu couldn't help but laugh and cry, and said to Old Yuan and the others, "Grandma, if you like it, we can come out to watch it tomorrow night. We won't force you to pay. It's voluntary. If the performance is good and you enjoy it, it's okay to give some money!"

Old Yuan really thought that he would have to pay for just looking at it. Hearing this, she couldn't help but glare at Old Man Li in front of her, and then looked at the jugglers not far away with relish, "This fire spray is so good, it's also hard-earned money, I should pay it, I have money!"

As she spoke, she patted her arms, where there was a purse!

She spends the gifts given to her by her children and grandchildren at will!
"Then let's come tomorrow night. We've been on the boat all day tonight, so we should go back early and rest." said Pomegranate.

The old Yuan family members all nodded.

Soon, the carriage passed through this bustling street, turning left and right along the way. The densely packed houses and the clean and shiny bluestone streets were very interesting to see. Soon, the carriage turned into Lihua Hutong.

Shi Liu pointed to the front door of a house with lanterns hanging on it and said to them, "Look, this is our house in the city!"

Father Li looked at the imposing gate and smiled, "Does Fan Jin live here?"

Shi Liu shook her head and said, "No, at the beginning of the year I bought a small house with two entrances in Guihua Lane in the east of the city. It's close to the Imperial Examination Hall, so he lives there."

When Old Man Li heard that Fan Jin didn't live here, he felt a little regretful.

Li Yishan saw through his thoughts and couldn't help but glare at him, "I'm about to enter the examination room, and I need some quiet time to read. If I really live here, I'll disturb others."

Yes, exams are important!

Originally thinking about talking more with Fan Jin, Old Man Li suddenly froze for a moment and stopped thinking about this.

As they were talking, the carriage stopped in front of the gate.

Zuo Cheng went up and knocked on the door, and soon the door opened from the inside.

Huang Zhong came out with his son Huang Fuying, "The girl is here, the hot food is ready!"

Shi Liu got off the carriage first, helped Old Man Li and the others out one by one, and led them inside.

After entering the gate, Li Jiping and other two who lived in the front yard also came out.

They were in charge of the carpentry work in the city and had been living there all along, returning home only during the holidays. When they saw their clan members, especially the clan leader and uncles, they naturally felt like they had seen their relatives.

Patriarch Li and his companions were also happy to see them and couldn't help asking them about some family matters.

Talking all the way, Shi Liu led them through the second gate and let Huang Fu and Fu Dong Sui Lu wash their faces and hands first, and then they went to the big hall to have dinner.

Li Jiping and the other two came along and sat around a large table, having a lively time.

After all, they were old, and had been on the boat for a whole day, feeling very excited all the way. When they arrived, they felt tired quickly. After dinner, they just drank a cup of tea to digest the food, and several of them started yawning.

Shi Liu told them to go to bed quickly, as they would have plenty of time to talk and play tomorrow.

After the old people had gone to rest, Shi Liu returned to her room, took a good bath and washed away the day's fatigue.

Sui Lu brought in the freshly boiled hot milk. Shi Liu asked her to put it aside to cool down first, and asked Fu Dong, "Have you told Mother Zhong about Bai Cui?"

Fu Dong nodded, "I told you that Mother Zhong is very happy and wants to kowtow to you, young lady."

Before, Shi Liu had people send Bai Cui, Chai Hu's daughter, and the daughters of Da Nanzhuang and Nanzhuang to the village. Before she left, the three girls had more or less contact with Jiang Tong and others.

There's no rush to fall in love with each other, so just let them stay for a while.

But judging from the situation, Bai Cui might be able to be with Jiang Tongcheng, so Shi Liu asked Fu Dong to give Mother Zhong a hint so that she would have an idea.

"No need to kowtow. Ask Mother Zhong to spend more time and take good care of the old lady and the others in the next half month."

"Mother Zhong knows."
