Farm girl is busy making money

Chapter 282 Xiaokui's Secret

Chapter 280 Second Xiaokui's Secret

This day, the business was not as good as the previous day, mainly because there were not as many people on the street as yesterday.

After hearing from the grandmother who sells sugar water next door, He Lanshan realized that there are big markets and small markets. Yesterday, the big market happens to be once a month, and the small market happens every seventh day, once every ten days.

On ordinary days, there are naturally fewer people and fewer vendors.

"There is a stall tax, little girl, since you occupy a small area, you can give me two pennies a day." A big man with a beard came over and stood in front of He Lanshan's booth and said.

Xiaokui grabbed He Lanshan's arm tremblingly, He Lanshan was also a little scared, maybe this person came to blackmail him.

Fortunately, the lady who sells sugar water next door came to rescue and told He Lanshan that every street in Wangyue Mansion had to pay a stall tax, and the bearded man in charge of their street was called Brother Long, if there was a customer eating Bawang meal, tell Brother Long, Brother Long Must beat him until he spits it out.

With Brother Long guarding him, no one dared to intentionally cause trouble. He Lanshan understood it and promptly paid the sixty cents, which counted as one month's payment.

"Little girl is pretty good, I'll give you four fen cheap, and use it to buy candied haws." Brother Long spoke softly and fiercely.

After Brother Long left, the grandmother who sold the sugar water said: "Brother Long is like this, if you pay enough for a year, he will give you a cheaper price. Brother Long is a nice guy but looks fierce, you guys Don't be afraid, little girl."

"Not afraid, not afraid." He Lanshan said calmly.

It's good to look fierce, the local snakes cover their merchants, how can they scare people if they don't look fierce.

This day I sold omelet rice and went home, sold 68 bowls, earning a total of one tael and one tael and 67 Wen.

On the way back, Xiaokui said to He Lanshan: "Miss, why don't you teach me how to make fried rice. You want fried rice and make egg buns, and your hands are so sore."

He Lanshan rubbed her wrist, thinking, that's right!

"That's fine. Then I'll get a stove next time. You cook rice and I make egg buns. The two of us will make it sooner." She accepted Xiaokui's proposal.

While talking, He Lanshan suddenly turned her head.

On the wide road ahead, pedestrians come and go normally.

"What's wrong? Miss?" Xiaokui also stopped the scooter, turned to look at He Lanshan.

He Lanshan looked at it for a long time before she was sure that there was no one there. She murmured to herself: "I thought someone was following us, but I don't think so. We are not familiar with each other here. Wangyue Mansion is safe and secure. If Shen Yiting would directly Someone is coming for us."

"Miss, don't be afraid, I can protect you." Xiaokui nodded and said seriously.

"Let's go, I hope I thought too much."

He Lanshan actually suspected that her omelet rice was selling well in the past two days, so she made others jealous, so some people followed them, and they didn't jump out until they entered the door. Personally, she said that she was a robber, so He Lanshan's heart fell back. into the stomach.

After pushing the cart into the house, Xiaokui said, "Miss, I'll go and buy eggs and sausages now, so I don't have to panic tomorrow morning."

"Okay, you take the money bag first!" He Lanshan said and handed all the bags containing today's money to Xiaokui.

Xiaokui carefully put the money bag in her arms and went out.

He Lanshan went back to the room and got ready to lie down.

"Eggs, rice, sausages." Xiaokui muttered as she walked towards the old flat rice store.

Before it arrived, someone patted her shoulder suddenly, and Xiaokui almost flew up in fright when she turned around.Yu Shi looked at Xiao Kui with a half-smile.

"Uncle...uncle...mother, what a coincidence..." Xiaokui bit her lips and greeted.

Yu's eyes narrowed dangerously, and he pointed at Xiaokui's face and said, "Yo, Hua'er, you're doing well now, aren't you, last time you cheated on me with that little girl, and cost me an extra penny."

"Uncle, what are you talking about, I... I don't know." Xiaokui lowered her head, tears of fear swirled in her eyes, and her fear of Mrs. Yu came from the bottom of her heart.

"I see that little girl gave you the money, you take it out and give me back the penny, we're done with this matter." Yu Shi twisted the softness of Xiaokui's body with her hands while speaking. Meat.

"Uncle, I have no money, I have no money!" Xiaokui pushed Yu's hand away while hiding.

Yu Shi and her had been arguing for a long time, and he was also tired and out of breath. Seeing Xiaokui's resolute refusal to pay the money, he also bit his lip.Hua'er was brought up by her, so he naturally knew her soft temper, but that little girl was not easy to deal with.

Thinking of the troublesome He Lanshan, Mrs. Yu stopped thinking about snatching Xiaokui's money by force.

It would be troublesome if she sued her!

"It's fine if I don't have any money, Hua'er, you have to do something for me!" Yu shrugged, thinking about where to get her money back.

"It's not okay to harm my young lady." Xiao Kui said, shrinking her neck, she had already been forced by Mrs. Yu to retreat to the base of the wall.

"Don't worry!" Yu said cheerfully.

……

When Xiaokui came home, He Lanshan was still lying in the room resting, so she didn't see the big and small bags she brought back.

Xiaokui let out a sigh of relief, but saved the effort of explaining. Although her young lady is young, she is smart.Last time, I took a whip for her before accepting myself. If she misunderstood me now, it would be bad.

"Miss." Xiaokui put the things back in her room before going to look for He Lanshan.

"Come in." He Lanshan lay on the bed and opened her eyes.

She took a nap for a quarter of an hour to make up for her afternoon nap. She opened her eyes and saw Xiaokui handing over the money bag. She stretched herself, unexpectedly she was top-heavy and didn't stand firm until she caught Xiaokui's arm.

"Hiss~" Xiaokui exhaled softly, and He Lanshan caught the meat that was pinched by Shi Yu.

He Lanshan hurriedly stood up, took the money bag, and asked Xiaokui with concern: "What's the matter, why is your arm hurting? Do you still have any pain? I heard that when you get seriously ill, your body hurts."

Seeing He Lanshan's concerned look, Xiaokui lowered her head in shame, and hummed: "Miss, I'm fine, but I fell when I went out and my arm was blue."

As she said that, she rolled up her sleeves, and it turned out to be a bruise.

"Be careful too." He Lanshan said a word without further questioning.

After listening to Xiaokui's account, how much it cost to buy the rice and eggs, she poured the money in the money bag on the table and counted it, and the amount was exactly right.He Lanshan thought for a while, then counted out twenty coins from the inside and stuffed it to Xiaokui.

"Take it, your pocket money."

"Miss..." Xiaokui was so touched that her eyes were full of tears. She used to do so much embroidery work for the family, and her aunt never gave her a dime. Now she has twenty cents in just two days.

Compared with the young lady, the blood relatives are nothing more than that. She was hesitating whether to tell the young lady what the uncle asked her to do, but she didn't dare to say it after thinking about it.
