Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Nari Song's little thoughts

Yang Ruoqing gnawed on the watermelon gracefully, and stared straight at Mrs. Liu with black and white eyes.

Ms. Liu clicked her mouth and continued, "We went over excitedly to see the water monkeys. Unexpectedly, there was a long line in their yard waiting to see the water monkeys."

"One penny to go in and have a look. Fifteen people go in together. Tsk tsk. I bargained with him. I said I was from our village and a relative of Lizheng's family. In the end, he didn't give me any face and pointed at the side. Osmanthus fragrans and the others who lined up said that a village has to pay, tell me, this kid is really embarrassing, usually when I see you, I will call my aunt..."

Yang Ruoqing laughed while eating, without saying a word.

Liu's words became more and more vigorous: "Qing'er, don't laugh, your baby paid a penny for going in to see it!"

Sun said: "I went to see it with Suyun and the others in the morning, and I also paid money. Don't worry about the fourth sibling, this matter is not aimed at you alone."

Liu curled her lips, "Of course I know it's not targeting me alone. I just said a few words with emotion. That kid really knows how to do business. If he goes to Washi to sell melons, fruits and vegetables, he will definitely have nothing to do with me."

……

At noon, I entertained Mrs. Liu and the others at Luo's house. It happened that Yang Huaming came back from the Taoist temple to pick up something, just in time, and came to drink a few glasses of wine with Luo Tiejiang, Yang Huazhong and the others.

When it was getting dark, Na Risong came to look for Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing had just had dinner and was sorting out the restaurant's account books behind the desk in the room.

"Good guy, I actually earned this amount in one day!"

As soon as he entered the door, with a loud voice, a heavy bundle was thrown onto the desk in front of her.

A corner of the burden roll spread out, and copper plates gushed out from it, completely submerging the account books that hadn't had time to close.

Yang Ruoqing stretched out her hand to untie the bundle, and raised her eyebrows slightly when she saw the copper plates piled up inside like a hill.

"One penny per person, free for seniors over the age of 55 and children under the age of five, it's really a lot of money in one day!"

She grabbed a handful of copper coins and held them in her hands, smiling.

Na Risong dragged a chair over and sat down at Dama Jindao opposite her, pointing to the hills of copper coins piled up on the table: "Ya Xue and I counted it three times when we came here, and it was 320 copper coins in total. For silver, that’s five taels of silver plus 320 Wen.”

Yang Ruoqing nodded, "Almost."

Na Risong got a little closer, and under the candlelight, the eyes were shining with the light of money.

"Qing'er, last night you asked me to keep the water monkey at home for a day so that the villagers could come and watch the fun, and you said that you would pay a penny to watch it once. Look at this thing, one penny can buy a steamed stuffed bun!"

"I didn't expect that this farmer's family was reluctant to eat and wear, and they were very active in spending a penny to see novelties. The threshold of my house was trampled down from morning till night. I guess there will be people coming to see it tomorrow, why not , let's raise the price tomorrow, what do you think of this number?"

He stretched out five thick fingers and moved them with an anxious expression on his face.

Yang Ruoqing glanced at him, but shook her head decisively.

"It's enough for the big guys to watch for a day, and I will send it away tonight. This is the address of an acrobatic troupe in Qing'an County. You go to the troupe owner and get rid of the water monkey as soon as possible."

Yang Ruoqing took out a piece of written paper from the drawer and handed it to Na Risong.
