Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 46 The first business

The green bamboo pergola, stone round bench, and bamboo-scented sweet spring all reveal simplicity and cosiness, and can even show the careful and elegant arrangement, with a kind of back-to-basics leisure.After everything was arranged, Liu Ya sat down with peace of mind, and casually weaved the fallen bamboo leaves into little grasshoppers or dragonflies.

This little skill was originally learned by Liu Ya inadvertently when she was training to survive in the wild.Sometimes a wilderness survival requires staying in a desolate mountain or virgin forest for a month.So in addition to hunting for survival and avoiding the escape of wild animals every day, I just find a safe tree hole or nest in the top of a tree, and pinch a few leaves to weave a gadget, which is considered a pastime.

Liu Ya didn't worry about whether there was any business coming to her door, anyway, she didn't spend any money, she just put in some effort.

What's more, even if you are doing business and opening a store, you need a process of being known by others.

Seeing the sun rise to the top of the head, although the weather is only April, the temperature at noon is considered very high.You can even feel that the wide road surface is covered with a layer of heat.

Liu Ya sat alone under the awning, playing with the little grasshopper in her hand calmly, and occasionally took a sip of the mountain spring water with the fragrance of bamboo from the green bamboo tube.

"Treading" finally heard the sound of horseshoes, running very briskly from far to near.

Liu Ya looked in the direction of the sound, and there was a cloud of dust flying in the distance, and it was a fast horse galloping.

Liu Ya didn't move, and didn't open her mouth to shout.Because she knows that if you are in a hurry, you will not stop to rest unless you are very hungry and thirsty.

Sure enough, a fast horse galloped by.The man on horseback was wearing short jackets and fast boots, and the whip in his hand kept waving to the horse's buttocks, without even turning his head, and he didn't pay attention to Liu Ya's small shed.

After waiting for a while, Liu Ya felt a slight vibration on the ground under her feet.But you need to listen carefully to hear the sound of wheels rolling on the ground, as well as the occasional snort and hooves of horses.

Only then did Liu Ya stand up and look in the direction of the person coming.

I saw a team of five carts with two people at the front and back at a distance of a hundred paces, but because the horses were not fast enough, they didn't hear the hoofbeats first.But the ground can feel the vibration, which proves that there must be a lot of goods on the car.

Liu Ya knew in her heart that this should be a convoy delivering goods.He beckoned and shouted from a distance: "Brother, it's been a hard journey. Come in and have a cup of sweet mountain spring water."

"Hey, when is there a tea shop here?" The middle-aged man in the lead seemed to have seen the bamboo shed from a distance. He was still on guard, but when he saw Liu Ya, a girl in her teens, Only then did he relax and strike up a conversation.

Liu Ya already had a full view of the other person's expression, and when she saw the man frowning warily, she knew that the goods on the carriage must be unusual.

Turning her mind, Liu Ya suppressed the idea of ​​robbing money.She didn't want to ruin the freedom of the rest of her life after just having a clean start.

Although with her skill, even if she is weak and delicate now, there is still hope for killing people and stealing goods.

But now that she got rid of her identity as a killer, Liu Ya no longer wants to be a robber blocking the way.

Liu Ya smiled and replied: "It's not a tea shed, there is no tea. It's just the mountain spring water that the little girl fetched on the mountain. Let the elder brother rest and quench his thirst."

As Liu Ya said, she had already picked up a bamboo cup filled with spring water, and walked towards the middle-aged man who was the leader.

When Liu Ya was walking towards him, the man kept his eyes on Liu Ya's gait until he was sure that Liu Ya's footsteps were flimsy and she didn't know martial arts, so he let Liu Ya walk to him without worry, and took her hand bamboo tube.

"Boss..." The young man next to the middle-aged man whispered, as if to remind him.

The man looked at Liu Ya, then at the bamboo tube in his hand, and asked Liu Ya: "Little girl, is this water for sale, or is it for me to drink?"

Liu Ya Bingxue is smart, so she naturally understood what this guy meant.They are escorting important things, so they are naturally very cautious.And there were no sheds on this road before, but today a bamboo shed suddenly appeared, and some people gave free mountain spring water, which is very strange.

Liu Ya hurriedly said: "To tell you the truth, my family lives in Pingshan Village behind the mountain. The family is very poor and has no strong labor force. My father has been paralyzed in bed for several years, and my mother has passed away. My sister does laundry for others to subsidize the family. , my younger brother went up to the mountain to cut firewood. It was only two days ago that I thought of opening a place for people to rest here, as a convenience for those who travel to and from home, and I also ask for a few pennies as a reward, so that I can subsidize the family."

"Hehe, what the little girl said is so miserable. Your family has a lot of troubles." A man behind laughed, as if he didn't believe it.

Liu Ya also smiled back, and said crisply: "Brother, believe it or not, it's your business, it's really my business, I don't need to lie to you here, because we met by chance after all. Besides, I don't want your goods. Even if you cheat your sympathy, you only need a few pennies to sell a story."

After Liu Ya finished speaking, the middle-aged man in the lead was happy first.On the night when Liu Ya was handed to him, he drank the water with his head up, and said with a smile: "The little girl is right, she is honest, and she is quite generous. For your cleverness and eloquence, big brother will definitely reward you." .Come on, some more water."

After speaking, the man handed the bamboo tube in his hand to Liu Ya, touched his bosom again, took out a small piece of silver, and handed it to Liu Ya.

Although the silver is not big, only about two cents, but after all, it is silver and not copper.

Liu Ya specially asked Xiao Shu'er about the conversion of silver and copper plates before, and only then did she know that one tael of silver is equal to ten renminbi, one penny of silver is equal to ten cents, and one penny of silver is equal to twelve fen.When the two cents of silver came to Liu Ya, it was 24 Wen.

Just imagine Liu Xu'er helping Aunt Niu clean up the vegetable field for a day, only earning three pennies.Liu Xu'er washes clothes for other people's homes in the village, sometimes earning [-] Wen for more than half a month.And Xiao Shuer robbed a penny for others, crying like something.

And the two cents of money I received in my hand, but I don't know how many meals of rice.

Liu Ya was naturally happy in her heart. Even if she had her first income, it could prove that her small bamboo shed was a place where she could make money from scratch.But Liu Yake didn't show it too obviously, she took the money and said "thank you" sincerely, and then welcomed the four men escorting the car to the shed.

Liu Ya poured a cup of bamboo mountain spring water for everyone, and said: "Brother has rewarded you with a lot of money, please drink this water as you like."
