Allure of a Country Maiden

No one buys this fish even for a penny or a pound? Fry the dace fish, dry it in the sun, then add soy sauce, shredded ginger, and tempeh, and steam it. It will be very fragrant and delicious. Xiaoer feels that people here are missing out on a delicious dish.

"In a month, I will buy a large amount of dace fish weighing one to two liang, two cents per catty! From now on, I will also buy fish from the Sanchi fish pond at the market price."

"Girl, do you really want to buy dace? Aren't you afraid of the bones?"

"Not afraid." Xiaoer shook her head. The bones of such a small fish can be broken by biting it.

"If the young lady wants to buy this kind of fish, I can just sell it to you for a penny per catty." There are many such fish in the river, and there is no need to raise them at all.

"Okay, harvest as much as you can. When the time comes, I will not only harvest the fish, but also recruit workers, that is, female workers to help kill the fish. But this matter is not urgent. We will talk about it in a month." Xiaoer said.

The workshops haven't been built yet, so naturally we have to wait until the workshops are built before we can start purchasing.

After discussing the matter, Xiaoer and the others left. After all, it would take a long time to go back to the city. If we go back now, it should start to get dark when we get to the city, just in time for dinner.

At noon, several of them spent their lunch eating solid food.

In order to return to the city before dark, Zhao Yong drove the carriage very fast.

Fang Wanping, who got off the carriage halfway, stayed on the roadside waiting for most of the day, feeling hungry and tired.

She cursed the old coachman a thousand times in her mind before she heard the sound of the carriage approaching from far away.

Both Fang Wanping and Xiaoling couldn't help but look at the turning point of the road with expectant eyes.

The old coachman was riding his carriage without a carriage, and behind him was a brand-new carriage. A half-new carriage that was not old yet arrived belatedly!

As soon as the carriage stopped, Mrs. Fang couldn't wait to jump out of the carriage: "Wanping, Wanping, my precious daughter, how are you?"

Seeing Mrs. Fang, Fang Wanping couldn't help but shed tears of grievance: "Mother, I'm so hungry. Can I have some snacks?"

This day was really unlucky. First I fell off the carriage and was injured, and then I waited on the roadside for a long time. I didn’t eat any pellets all day, and I almost starved to death!

Mrs. Fang: "..."

Why is the painting style wrong? Shouldn't it be like "Mom, my feet hurt"?

Master Fang asked the doctor to get out of the carriage: "Doctor, please help my daughter look at her feet."

Mrs. Fang came back to her senses and nodded: "Yes, doctor, show it to my daughter quickly."

After so long delay, what if the root cause of the disease is found? Which young man from aristocratic family is willing to marry a girl with leg problems to be the mistress of the house?

The doctor quickly walked over and knelt down: "Miss Fang, I'm offended."

After the doctor said this, he stretched out his hand and gently pressed on Fang Wanping's leg to check whether there were any fractures or dislocations.

"Does it hurt?" the doctor asked while pressing.

Fang Wanping shook her head and was about to cry without tears. Can you let her eat first? She is really hungry and thirsty! At this age, Fang Wanping felt hungry for the first time. How could she bear it?

"Mom, is there anything to eat? I'm so hungry! I haven't had a drop of water since I woke up early."

The doctor's movements froze: Is this girl really seriously injured as the driver said? Instead of worrying about your legs at this time, are you looking for something to eat?

After hearing this, Mrs. Fang knew that her daughter was very hungry. When had her poor daughter ever suffered like this?

But as soon as she heard that her daughter had fallen off the carriage, she panicked and immediately sent someone to rent a carriage to come over. How could she expect to prepare food for her?

"Wan Ping, let the doctor take a look at your feet first. If everything is okay, let's go back to the city and eat delicious food."

Fang Wanping was discouraged when she heard this, she still had to wait!

The doctor gently bent her foot and asked her if it hurt. Fang Wanping shook her head.

The doctor took her pulse again and confirmed that she had no internal injuries before saying, "Sir, what's wrong with Miss Fang is nothing serious. It's just a skin injury. It will heal in a few days."

Master Fang was completely relieved after hearing these words.

The old coachman couldn't help but ask: "Doctor, did this girl really only suffer superficial injuries? When she first fell off the carriage, she couldn't move her feet."

"I checked carefully. It's just a skin injury." If she had fractures and dislocations, how could this girl still be in the mood to find something to eat? She was hungry! He immediately said: Mom, my feet hurt so much!

"How much is the medical fee?" asked the old coachman.

"There is a bottle of medicated oil here that can be applied to the girl to stop bleeding and reduce swelling. Just add ten taels of silver to the consultation fee."

Ten taels of silver is actually a lot. It's just a superficial injury, and ordinary people won't spend money to treat it.

However, the old coachman took out ten taels of silver and handed it to the doctor without saying a word. The doctor took it and said goodbye to Mr. Fang.

Mrs. Fang quickly asked the maid to help Fang Wanping get into the carriage. They had to rush back to the city!

At this time, the old coachman said to Fang Wanping: "Girl, since you suffered a skin injury, you will be fine in a few days. I also paid the consultation fee. Can you not let me compensate you for the 100 taels? I really don't have any money at home." So much money!”

The injury can be cured without spending any money. He is willing to spend ten taels of silver to pay for the medical expenses. Can you let him go?

After hearing this, the doctor couldn't help but look back at Fang Wanping: This girl looks cute and charming, but unexpectedly she is cruel. She actually wants an old coachman to pay one hundred taels of silver? Isn’t this peeling off someone’s skin and drinking their blood?

Fang Wanping's expression changed after hearing this. She saw the doctor turning back to look at her, his eyes dark and unclear, and she became even more angry: "You almost killed me, sitting on the roadside hungry all day. , so what if I want you to compensate one hundred taels of silver? Isn’t my life worth a hundred taels of silver?!"

Mrs. Fang looked at him angrily.

Master Fang's eyes also fell on him.

On the road, because the old coachman's carriage, Master Fang and the others were sitting in the carriage, it stopped directly in the middle of the road, blocking the passage of other carriages. Xiaoer and his carriages stopped and looked at the scene in front of them.

Fang Wanping and Mrs. Fang had their backs to the direction of Xiaoer, so they didn't know that the prefect whom they had been thinking about was looking at them not far away.

How dare the old coachman say that her life was not worth a hundred taels of silver! But he still couldn't help but said: "How can a girl's life be calculated in terms of money? It's not like selling pigs or chickens, but the price is calculated by the pound? I caused you to be injured, and I will compensate you for the medical expenses until you Everything is fine, as it should be! But the one hundred taels is unreasonable compensation."

The coachman has been a coachman all his life. Those who can rent a carriage have a good family background. Many are even scholars. He listens to more knowledgeable people and speaks more to learned people, so he speaks more intelligently than the average old man in the village. There is more culture.

Xiaoer vaguely heard this and had to praise the coachman.

Humans are not pigs, dogs, cattle, sheep and other livestock, so how can we judge the price by the pound? How to calculate it in silver? I can only say that every life is equal, every life is precious and priceless!

Fang Wanping was furious after hearing this: "What do you mean by this? Are you saying that I am a pig or a chicken!"
