The history of struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 70 Checkout
"Treasurer Ma, what good thing happened to make you so happy?" Han Qianluo asked casually.

Unexpectedly, Ma Qiaozhong said with a smile: "This is not a good thing that happens to me alone, Miss Han also has a share." After saying this, Han Qianluo immediately thought of cake. Although he was still a little uncertain, he was still very happy. Expectation: "What good thing did the shopkeeper Ma say?"

Ma Qiaozhong took out a roll of bamboo slips from under the counter and spread them out, "Today is the first day of junior high school, let's calculate the accounts from the previous month."

"OK, no problem."

It was morning at this time, and there were no customers in the restaurant, so the two of them settled accounts in the lobby without looking for another room.While calculating the accounts, Ma Qiaozhong reported the details: "A total of 21 catties of cakes have been delivered during this period of time, and the selling price is six pennies per catty."

Hearing this price, Han Qianluo was so surprised that she was almost dumbfounded. Six pennies means six thousand Wen. , It is absolutely impossible to sell such a price, which makes Han Qianluo deeply feel that cooperation is indeed something that can save people time and effort.

"A total of 120 and six guan coins, and 88 guan and two hundred coins for Miss Han." Ma Qiaozhong said with a slightly smiling voice.

Although Han Qianluo couldn't say that she was speechless after hearing this, she was indeed very surprised. Eighty pennies, she really couldn't imagine it before, so she didn't know what to say for a while.

"What's wrong with Miss Han?" Ma Qiaozhong asked with some doubts.

Han Qianluo blinked, and replied without any concealment: "It's nothing, I just didn't expect to earn so much money."

Ma Qiaozhong couldn't help laughing, and said: "When Miss Han earns more money in the future, she will know that this money is nothing, just wait for me a little bit." Then she turned around and went into the house, and after a while she carried a The linen bag came out and placed it in front of Han Qianluo.

"This is?" Han Qianluo asked puzzled.

"There are 88 pennies in here, you count them."

Looking at the sack of money on the ground, Han Qianluo was in such an embarrassing mood. If she was alone, she wouldn't even be able to get the money back.Thinking to himself, Han Qianluo still opened the sack, which was full of copper coins strung together with ropes, long strings of copper coins.

Han Qianluo untied the rope tied around the mouth of the sack, holding the sack and intending to pour out the copper coins inside. Unexpectedly, the 88 copper coins were quite heavy, so he didn't pour it out all at once, but just pushed the sack to the ground.

Seeing this, Han Qingquan at the side hurried over to help pour out the copper coins, and then counted them together.The two counted for a long time before they finished counting the 88 coins, and then repacked them in sacks.

"Miss Han, I have an idea." Ma Qiaozhong said hesitantly.

Han Qianluo followed his words and asked, "What do you think?"

"I think that rare things are more expensive. In the future, this cake will be sold less, and it will be fixed at one catty a day. What do you think?" Ma Qiaozhong asked.

Han Qianluo is still very self-aware. He knows that he has no talent or experience in business, so he doesn't point fingers at it. He nodded: "You can decide, I just make cakes."

"Since Miss Han has no other opinions, then it's settled." Ma Qiaozhong said with a smile.

"Qianluo, try this, it's not bad."

Liu Ying's voice brought Han Qianluo back from his memory. It turned out that a servant brought a plate of walnuts, but they were all smashed, just walnut meat.Han Qianluo was not polite either, he casually picked up one and put it in his mouth, then turned his head to look at Liu Ying, but with the same gesture, Liu Ying gave people a very elegant and noble feeling.

"Brother Ying, I heard that if you eat this food often, you can become smarter." Han Qianluo said casually, and regretted it a little after she finished speaking. How should she explain this.

Fortunately, Liu Ying didn't care about these things, she just smiled and said: "In this case, I will eat more of this thing in the future."

Hearing this, Han Qianluo breathed a sigh of relief, casually talked about other topics, and after chatting for a while, stood up, said goodbye and left.

As soon as Han Qianluo pushed open the gate of her own yard, Han Sanwei ran over and hugged her thigh and said, "Sister San, I saw that elder brother brought back a lot of money." Yuan continued, "Third Sister, does all that money belong to us?"

Looking at the expectant eyes, Han Qianluo nodded resolutely, and said with a smile, "Of course it's ours. Whatever Sanwei wants, Sanjie can buy it for you now."

From Han Qianluo's point of view, her current fourth brother just wanted some food, but what surprised her was that Han Sanwei didn't ask for food this time, but instead made a request that surprised her: " Third sister, I also want to read and write."

Han Qianluo was taken aback, then quickly came to his senses, and asked, "Sanwei, how did you think of reading and writing?"

Han Sanwei did not answer this question, but kept twisting the hem of his clothes with his hands, lowered his head and did not speak. Seeing this situation, Han Qianluo did not want to force him to speak, but at this time he wanted to read and write. It was not a very simple matter, because there was no imperial examination system at this time, and correspondingly, there were no private schools or academies. It was naturally not an easy task to want to read and write.

"Sanwei, reading is not easy. I still have to inquire about it. I will discuss this matter after I have inquired about it, okay?" Han Qianluo said as gently as possible.

"Oh."

Walking into the room, Han Qianluo put the basket on the corner of the wall, walked around the room, but didn't see his eldest brother Han Qingquan, so he was a little puzzled, and turned to ask Sanwei: "Sanwei, where did brother go, do you know? "

"I don't know." Han Sanwei shook his head and said, "I didn't see big brother."

Han Qianluo originally wanted to ask his elder brother if he had returned the money to others, but since he was not at home, he had to wait until he came back to discuss this topic.It wasn't until Han Qianluo finished making lunch at noon that Han Qingquan came back carrying a bundle of firewood.

"Brother, wash your hands and eat." Han Qianluo said loudly towards the yard, and at the same time brought the fried dishes to the dining table and set them up.

After Han Qianluo arranged the meals, Han Qingquan also washed his hands, so he announced the start of eating.After more than half of the lunch, Han Qianluo suddenly remembered the previous incident, so he quickly asked, "Brother, have you returned the money?"

"Not yet, I thought I'd better tell you first before returning the money." After Han Qingquan finished speaking, he continued to eat steamed buns with big mouthfuls.

Without even thinking about it, Han Qianluo said, "I don't know who I borrowed it from, but my brother should take it and return it."

"Okay, no problem, by the way, I will put the money where you put it before."

After lunch, Han Qingquan took the money and went out. After Han Qianluo washed the dishes and chopsticks, he also planned to go out. He had just walked out of the yard, closed the door and turned around when he found Zhao Qin walking in this direction, thinking that she might He came to look for him, so he stood there and waited for her to come over.

"Qianluo, do you want to go out?" Zhao Qin asked.

Han Qianluo lifted the basket in his hand: "It's nothing, I want to go out for a stroll, do you want to come together?"

"Okay, I was planning to go out with you too." Zhao Qin said with a smile.

Han Qianluo didn't have any purpose, he just walked aimlessly. When he reached the foot of a mountain, he suddenly found several people gathered there, all boys aged seven or eight, forming a circle.

Originally, Han Qianluo didn't take it too seriously. It was normal to see a few people on the road, but when he walked a few steps closer, he heard those people seemed to be cursing.

"Untouchable."

"Kill this pariah."

"You pariah don't deserve to walk the same path as us."

……

Among these cursing words, there were sounds of punching and kicking, which surprised Han Qianluo. He ran over quickly and shouted loudly, "What are you doing?"

When the children heard Han Qianluo's voice, they stopped reflexively and looked back at the same time.Just in such a spare time, a child ran out from the circle surrounded by these children, about seven or eight years old, and the clothes that were originally clean and tidy were now dirty and torn, full of footprints .After the child ran out, he ran straight towards Han Qianluo, then knelt at her feet and said loudly, "Miss, please help me."

The children didn't seem to be too scared when they found out that it was only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl like Han Qianluo. One of the stronger boys came over with a big face and said disdainfully, "Hey, This matter has nothing to do with you, you'd better not interfere."

Hearing this sentence, Han Qianluo was even more angry. Whose child is this, so impolite, it is simply too lacking in tutoring.At this time Zhao Qin also came over, and the children's attitude changed immediately when they saw her, and they ran away without saying a word.

Before Han Qianluo could speak, the child in front of him quickly said gratefully, "Thank you, Miss, thank you, Miss."

"Get up and go home, be careful in the future." Han Qianluo helped the little boy up.

Unexpectedly, the little boy fell silent after listening to it, and only after a while did he utter a few words: "I don't have a home anymore."

"Why don't you have a home?" Han Qianluo asked, wondering if his parents were dead.

Sure enough, the little boy whispered, "I don't have a father, and my mother ran away with someone else, so I'm the only one left."

Hearing such things, Han Qianluo still couldn't help but feel a little sad, and then asked: "Then do you have any other relatives, such as grandparents, grandparents, uncles and aunts?"
