The black-bellied prince: the little princess of the chef

Chapter 129 So much money?
Wu Yan's enlightening words stimulated Ye Junbei for several days, and the shock in his heart was hard to erase.How could the recruits be sent to the frontier to lead the charge?
What is the difference between this and killing them directly?

Although Wu Yan did not explain where his news came from, Ye Junbei's dream of being a soldier was shaken in his heart.

Because of wife and children!

Because of the family!

The atmosphere of the Ye family these days is still very depressing, Ye Qing is dealing with his parents and elder brother and sister-in-law.I tried to persuade this, and I tried to persuade that, but still nothing worked.

Zhang Xiu's eyes were red every day, as if she had cried every night, and she woke up the next day red and swollen.Ye Qing enlightened her a few times, but she didn't speak, and wept silently.

During these days with Zhang Xiu, Ye Qing got a feel for Zhang Xiu's temperament.A typical husband is obedient, and she will not say "no" to her husband, even if she does not want her husband to join the army at all.But she can't say "no", and there is no other way but to cry.

Autumn is refreshing, Ye Qing finished the work in hand, and Wu Yan sat by the river to watch the blue waves rippling, aquatic plants and fish swimming.

This kind of opportunity is rare, Wu Yan's expression is plain on the surface, but he is very excited in his heart, it is too little time to be alone with Ye Qing at such a close distance.

Ye Qing was fascinated by the free little fish in the water, and after a moment of contemplation, he came back to his senses: "Hey, I'm so sad, the day of conscription seems to be approaching, big brother must..."

"He can't go."

"what?"

"Aren't you going to the city to find shopkeeper Xiong, aren't you going?"

"Oh, how did I forget this?"

Ye Qing suddenly stood up in surprise, patted the dirt on his body with both hands, and walked back anxiously.

Wu Yan immediately got up and followed, not even half a moment behind.

Because Ye Qing was in a hurry to go to the city, he didn't think about Wu Yan's words at all.

What she thought in her heart was that no matter whether Ye Junbei went to sign up or not, as soon as the conscripts arrived, they would be tied up at home and released after they left.

Ye Qing went home for a while, put the money from selling lo mei in his pocket recently, and then walked to the city with Wu Yan.

When we walked to the gate of the city, there was a "conscription" notice posted on the wall.

There is an ancient saying that "good iron does not make nails, and a good man does not serve as a soldier". If the average man does not go to a land where the mountains and rivers are at the end of his life, he will not choose to join the army.

But Ye Junbei is one of them, and he wants to join the army.Ye Qing looked at the notice, feeling lost again.

Because Hanyue Kingdom's characters are very different from the simplified characters Ye Qing knows, Ye Qing only got a general understanding of some of the notices.

The meaning of the notice roughly reads: "If you join the army, you will pay your family to settle down. After entering the army camp, you will be given a monthly salary, three meals a day, and two meals of meat..."

Ye Qing didn't know if he understood it correctly, anyway, he probably used these attractive conditions to attract people to sign up for the army.

Although Ye Qing felt that the notice was a bit gimmicky, she had to admit that it would be a big temptation for people who were about to have no food.

"Don't look, let's go."

"Well, I'll need your help in two days."

He was speechless, but Ye Qing's figure had already entered the city gate.

When Ye Qing and Wu Yan walked to the returning customers, the restaurant was at the peak time for dinner in the evening, with guests coming in and out, it was very lively.

The waiters in the restaurant are rushing about, busy feet not touching the ground.

Ye Qing watched for a while at the entrance of the inn, and found that half of the guests who went in were for lo mei, and when they came out, everyone would get a share, and there would be no failure.

"Sorry, today's lo mei is sold out, please hurry up tomorrow."

"I'm sorry, everyone."

"Hey, I ran for nothing today, really."

"I haven't bought it for three days in a row. I'm so hungry."

"Stop complaining, come to queue early tomorrow."

There are so many customers who didn't buy lo mei, Ye Qing felt more and more fulfilled and gratified.According to this speed of development, she must discuss with Xiong Jie to open another store to sell lo mei.

"Hey, Miss Ye is here, please come inside."

The sharp-eyed waiter recognized Ye Qing, and with a smile on his face, he hurriedly invited this "Goddess of Wealth" inside.

"Brother please."

Wu Yan stood next to Ye Qing, the waiter immediately greeted Wu Yan warmly.

Ye Qing and Wu Yan still went to the backyard to wait for Xiong Jie, but this time Xiong Jie was delayed for quite a while before arriving.As soon as he stepped into the backyard, a natural smile appeared on his tense face.

"Girl, you haven't been here for a while, why, can you forget about Uncle Xiong?"

Ye Qing shook his head with a smile, and said in an unhurried manner: "No way, Uncle Xiong is busy with personnel, I'm afraid to disturb Uncle Xiong."

"Hahaha, what a smart girl."

Seeing Wu Yan, Xiong Jie was not surprised at all, but smiled at him friendly.

However, Wu Yan was still "careful" remembering what happened last time, after snorting, he looked away, bowed his head and went to drink tea.

Seeing this, Ye Qing tugged at his sleeve, and smiled apologetically at Xiong Jie.

Xiong Jie didn't mind either, and took his seat immediately. The waiter behind him put down the tea and refreshments, and quickly retreated.In the huge courtyard, there were only three of them left.

Ye Qing didn't like to beat around the bush when talking or doing anything, he was used to going straight to the point, and said straight to the point: "Uncle Xiong, I came here specially to ask you to settle the previous share, the purpose is to see how much I still owe you."

Xiong Jie smiled and said with a sigh: "You girl, you are good at everything, but you are too clear about money and relationships."

"Brothers are still clear about their accounts, but you are my elder. Isn't it a happy event for us to be clear and clear?"

"I can't say no to you," Xiong Jie waved his hand, then turned to the door and shouted, "Bring me the account books from last month and this month."

Xiao Er quickly sent the ledger, and Xiong Jie took the ledger and began to calculate it carefully.

I saw him turning the pages of the account with his left hand, and quickly dialing the abacus with the fingers of his right hand. The beads were flying between him, and the whole yard could only hear the sound of "papapapa".

It's okay to be speechless, but Ye Qing was dumbfounded, his speed is faster than a modern "calculator".

No wonder those who know how to calculate accounts like to use the abacus instead of the calculator. The calculator is too procrastinating and affects work efficiency.

"It's great, it's amazing."

After Ye Qing praised her sincerely, Wu Yan looked at her with sideways eyes and was very speechless.

Seven out of ten people know how to dial an abacus. What's so great about it?

"Okay, the total is 180 seven taels of silver."

"So much silver?"

Ye Qing looked at the abacus in surprise, and was so excited that she couldn't speak for a long time - although, she didn't know how much the abacus was.

"Well, actually..."

Suddenly, Xiong Jie's abacus was empty, and Wu Yan took the account book and rattled the abacus, the speed was faster than Xiong Jie's, Ye Qing felt his eyes were dazzled.
