Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 89 I heard that the Ping An Restaurant is closing

Seeing Cang Qianche pour a basket of mushrooms into his clothes, Liu Ya was taken aback, unable to react for a while.Asked: "Are you..."

Cang Qianche glared at Liu Ya again, then walked over and lifted the other basket in Liu Ya's hand, and still poured it into his clothes on the floor.Then he gathered up the clothes, tied the four corners tightly, and made a burden, then pulled the two sleeves and said to Liu Ya: "Stupid and stupid girl, come here, take this burden on your back, wrap the two baskets together and take it Wouldn't it be more convenient."

"That's fine too." Liu Ya smiled and realized how clever Cang Qianche's approach was.Take this "baggage" and put it on your back, put the sleeves across the shoulders and tie it in front of your body, isn't it a very convenient baggage.Moreover, the two baskets of mushrooms are dry goods, and they are not very heavy.

"Why not? You have no brains, you are too stupid." Cang Qianche insulted Liu Ya again, but she had already put two baskets together for her and handed them to Liu Ya.

Liu Ya took the basket and said sincerely, "Thank you. But your clothes..."

"After you come back, wash it and hang it in the backyard. I'll go get it myself at night." Cang Qianche said disapprovingly, and jumped up the cliff, ready to leave.

Liu Ya smiled, waved her hands and said, "Okay, thank you very much."

Seeing Cang Qianche leaping away from the cliff without looking back, Liu Ya suddenly felt that seeing this kid's back view was not so annoying now, and she didn't seem to think he looked like a wild monkey anymore.

When I was on my way again, it was enough to carry the basket on one arm, and it was much lighter.Moreover, Cang Qianche's clothes were very clean, with a vague bamboo fragrance.

Inexplicably, Liu Ya's face flushed slightly, and her ears felt a little hot.But thinking about Cang Qianche who was not as tall as her, Liu Ya's eyes widened and she almost slapped herself.

Concentrate on the journey, and the speed will be much faster.Liu Ya walked to Xiaozhang Village in one breath, and she saw two carriages parked side by side on the side of the road without asking any questions.

Liu Ya went over and asked, to see which car was going to Ning'an Town.One of the drivers told her: "This is my car."

Liu Ya asked again: "Then I have to sit back and forth, should I pay now, or when I come back?"

"It's all right." After the driver finished answering, he looked Liu Ya up and down again, and asked her, "Are you from Huanshan Village? Have you never seen you before?"

"Yes." Liu Ya nodded, sat in the car, and then said: "I used to be young, and I was not allowed to go out at home."

After finishing speaking, Liu Ya took out eight Wen coins from her pocket and handed them over, saying, "Give me the money first. I'm going to sell mushrooms, uncle, remember to wait for me when you come back."

The driver took the money and said cheerfully: "Hey, that's good. But remember, little girl, my carriage will only stay in Ning'an Town for two hours, and I can wait for you for a stick of incense at most. Besides, tonight If you do, you will have to walk at night when you get off the car and go back, it's not safe."

Liu Ya replied: "Yes, I remember, it won't be too late."

The driver said again: "However, if you really can't catch up with my car, you can take another car back or stay there for one night. If you stay, I will pick you up tomorrow when I arrive in Ning'an Town." If you take it back, you won’t be charged any more. If you take another car, I’ll refund you three Wen later, it’s considered a one-way ride.”

Liu Ya nodded, thinking it was fair, so she concentrated on sitting and waiting for the car to drive.

This is the most ordinary carriage, without even a shed, and the carriage boards on both sides are widened, and people sit on the carriage boards.Sit on both sides facing each other, and it can seat eight people when it is full.

At this time, there were already four people sitting in the car, three women and one man.They all looked like honest peasants, and Liu Ya didn't mean to interrupt them.

After waiting for a while, another man and a woman came, like husband and wife.The man carried two baskets, and the woman carried a small bundle.As soon as these two people got on the car, plus the two baskets, the car was basically full.

The driver glanced at the two baskets and said nothing.The woman hurriedly said: "Uncle Wang, can I add three Wen to you for these two baskets?"

"Okay, they're all from the same village, so there's not much to say." After finishing speaking, the driver picked up his whip and seemed ready to leave.

Thinking about it, it is true that a car originally carried eight people, but now it is full of seven people and two baskets, and there will be no room for any more people.

There was a sound of a whip, and the horse pulling the cart snorted, stomped its hooves, and started to walk.At first I walked, and gradually I was about to leave the village, and the speed became faster and faster, almost like a trot.

But at this moment, a man ran up the village road, chasing the carriage and shouting, "Uncle Wang, wait for me, I'm in a hurry to go to town."

"Woo..." Uncle Wang, who was driving the carriage, yelled, and stretched out his hand to pull the rein. The horse just started to run, and it neighed when it was pulled, and then stopped.

Only then did the chasing car catch up, jumped onto the car, panting heavily, sat down next to the man with the basket, and asked him to move the basket.

"Da Chen, what are you doing in such a hurry?" the man with the basket asked while moving the basket inside.

The man named Da Chen sighed, and said: "What else can I do, collect the bill. The Ping An Restaurant is about to close, and the bill is being cleared. I have to go quickly to see that I still owe me a tael of silver."

"Ping'an Restaurant? Is it the one your family often delivers food to?"

Da Chen said: "That's right. I just heard about it too, why don't you hurry over and have a look. If it's really clearing up the accounts, I have to get back the one or two taels of silver. We are a small family , one tael of silver is more than several months' expenses."

Uncle Wang, who was driving the carriage, heard this, and while driving the carriage away, he turned around and said, "If I had known this before, you shouldn't have credited it. It's only one tael of silver."

"Who says it's not?" Da Chen shook his head, with annoyed expression on his face, "The business of this Ping'an restaurant has been good, I thought it would be easier to do business with such a restaurant than to stand and buy vegetables in the market, so I agreed to pay on credit occasionally. Who knew that the door would be closed when it was suddenly said to be closed, and if I heard about it later, there would be no one left by the time I rushed there, so it would be a chicken-and-egg fight.”

All of a sudden, several people in the carriage began to talk about each other.Some said that the money might not be returned.There is also something to say, if you really can’t do it, just take something. It’s better to use something to pay off the debt than not getting a penny back.
