Chapter 11
"It's not easy to make such a small amount of money without bargaining. We didn't sleep much all night."

"Okay! Give me two."

There are many ways to eat fish here, and everyone likes it more, because no one raises wild fish, so the price can be sold for ten cents.

Soon more than half of the fish was sold.

But there were not many people in the market at the back, and no one came to buy fish. When they were about to close the stall.

Ah Li ran up to a middle-aged man with a "deng, deng, deng".

"Uncle, do you want to buy live fish?"

The middle-aged man and the boy stopped.

"Girl can do business at such a young age, not bad."

So he followed Ah Li to the bucket.

"I bought all of your fish, and I asked you to calculate how much money you have for the bucket."

With a bright smile on Lin Errong's face, he immediately responded, "Master, please wait a moment, it will be settled right away."

But a few seconds.

"My lord's 120 articles are [-] coins in total. The wooden barrel is not worth a lot of money, so I will give it to you. I hope I will come to take care of it again in the future."

The corners of the middle-aged man's mouth raised, and he looked Lin Errong up and down, "You all know how to do business, our old lady loves fish, next time you have fish, you can send it directly to Cheng's mansion. I am Cheng, the kitchen manager of Cheng's mansion." Ming, just report my name next time."

"Okay, thank you Cheng Guanshi for taking care of me, I will definitely go then."

Lin Errong was very excited. Cheng's family is a well-known family in Yecheng. They are not only rich, the young master of the Cheng family was nominated for the second place in the gold list in the past two years, and later served in the Imperial Academy. His future is boundless.

After Cheng Ming paid the money, the young servant who followed immediately picked up the barrel, and the two left.

Today they earned a total of 350 wen, and the smile on Lin Errong's happy face never went away.

This is much more profitable than him going to the wharf for a day, not to mention getting acquainted with people from Cheng's mansion, and he will be able to sell fish in the future.

"Lili, Dalang Erlang is hungry! Let's go, I'll take you to buy meat buns."

The three children were very happy when they heard that there was delicious food, and went to the steamed stuffed bun stand.

Looking at the steaming hot and fragrant white and fat buns, the three children couldn't help but salivate.

"The boss has six steamed buns and two steamed buns."

"Okay, wait a minute."

Less than a minute after they sat down, the owner of the bun shop brought the buns to the table.

"One bun for one penny, two steamed buns for one penny, a total of seven pennies."

Lin Errong took out the handkerchief Mrs. Pei had given him that morning from his lapel, and counted seven coins to the owner of the steamed stuffed bun shop.

"Slow guest officer!"

The boss took the money and went to work.

He took two steamed buns for Ah Li and Da Lang Erlang, Lin Errong took the steamed buns and started to chew.

Da Lang was older and sensible, so he took a steamed stuffed bun to Lin Errong.

"Second Uncle, if you eat buns, I'll be full after one."

Seeing this, Erlang also took a steamed stuffed bun to his father.

"Father, you eat, and one is enough for me."

Ah Li followed suit, "Second brother, you eat."

Lin Errong patted the heads of the three children, "You guys eat, I can just eat steamed buns, if you can't finish them, you can keep them at home to eat, and I will buy a few more Saburo Shiro later."

A Li "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" bit down on the white and fat bun.

As a result, her mouth was too small and she missed the stuffing in one bite.

After a few mouthfuls, I tasted the meaty bun stuffing and called it "Xiangxiang".

Ah Li, who has never eaten white flour meat buns, unlocked another delicacy.

After eating the buns, Lin Errong planned to take them home.

As they were walking, they suddenly saw a rich lady with a big belly when she got off the sedan chair, and a silk bag fell from her body to the ground.

They didn't notice what was missing and went straight into a shop.

Ah Li ran over to pick it up, and trotted after it.

Lin Errong and Dalang Erlang hurried after him, fearing that Ah Li would get lost.

After Ah Li went in, he found the rich wife who had dropped her things.

Walking up to her, she said in her soft voice, "Sister, you dropped something, and Lili picked it up for you."

The rich wife took the bag suspiciously and opened it. Isn't this the child's longevity lock they just bought at the jewelry store in front?
Then I groped around on my body and found that the things on my body were really missing.

The little girl carved in pink and jade in front of her was so cute that she couldn't help falling in love with her.

"Oh, thank you, little girl, I know that picking up money is a good thing at a young age."

Seeing Ah Li's attire, she knew that the conditions at home should not be very good.

So she asked the maid next to her to take a piece of broken silver, at least two taels, and handed it to Ah Li.

"Little girl, I don't have anything else with me. This little money is a thank you. You can take it and buy something delicious!"

Ah Li's big watery eyes looked at the rich wife and shook her head, "Thank you sister, I can't ask for it."

"You can accept it. I thank you for this. What I dropped is worth much more than this."

Ah Li looked around, his eyes lit up, he pointed to the pen and paper on the table next to him and said, "Can I have that?"

It turns out that this is a book store, and the rich wife also came to pick up paper and pens.

The love in the eyes of the rich wife is even more obvious.

"Why do you want paper and pen? Can you write?"

Ah Li shook his head, "I don't know how, but the third brother will."

She now understood that this little girl probably wanted a pen and paper for her third brother to use.

So he ordered the shopkeeper next to him, "Bring a set of paper and pen, some more paper."

The shopkeeper standing next to him bowed respectfully and answered "yes" before going down.

"Little girl, what's your name!"

"My name is Lili."

"Li Li, it sounds so nice. My name is Lan Qinxue, you can call me Aunt Xue."

"Shouldn't you be called sister?"

"I'm older than you."

At this time, Lin Errong ran in, walked to A Li's side and saw that she was fine, so he was relieved.

"Are you Lili's father?" Lan Qinxue asked Lin Errong.

"Madam misunderstood, I am Lili's second brother, children are not sensible, did they not offend you?"

He knew that many rich people in this city were not easy to mess with, and he was afraid that these people would hurt Ah Li.

"So that's it, Lili can call me sister." Lan Qinxue said with a smile in the corner of her eyes.

Lin Errong is exactly 20 years old this year, and Lan Qinxue is about the same age as him.

"Li Li is very good. She picked up something and sent it to me. To express my gratitude, I prepared some pens and paper. Please don't refuse."

"Paper... pen!"

These two things are really extravagant for their farm family. In the past, Lin Sanrong used to copy books to bookstores to practice calligraphy, and he saved money to buy paper and pens.

I didn't expect people to be so generous, and they gave paper and pens when they found something, which really surprised Lin Errong. Later, thinking about it, it's not surprising that this happened to Ah Li.
