happy fisherman

Chapter 59

If these broken books were really orphans, wouldn't they have been snatched away long ago?

Bai Beibei thought it was the shopkeeper's words to raise the price, so he bargained with him: "Shopkeeper, it's less, I'll buy it for ten taels of silver."

"It's fine if you don't want to buy it!" The shopkeeper angrily snatched the book back from Bo Beibei's hands.

Bo Beibei was taken aback, how could there be such a business?

In fact, Bai Beibei really wronged the shopkeeper. What the shopkeeper said just now is the truth. When he returned to his hometown a few years ago, he spent 18 taels of silver to find these three medical books in the hands of a troubled doctor. The study could not catch the eyes of those doctors. They all went to the big study in the county seat or several surrounding counties to find medical books, so that no one cared for these few lonely copies.

The shopkeeper thought it would be better to get the money back than to let these books go moldy, but he didn't expect this little girl to be too expensive.

Seeing that the shopkeeper really wanted to put away the books, Bo Beibei hurriedly said, "Shopkeeper, is it really necessary?"

"Not less!" The shopkeeper said with a straight face.

Just kidding, it's fine if you don't make any money, how can you sell it at a loss!

Seeing that there was no room for negotiation, Bo Beibei had no choice but to pay the bill with 18 taels of silver and took the book away.

Bo Beibei bought a good book, went to a corner where no one was there, brought the medical book into the space, picked a medical book in the space and read it.

After more than an hour, Bo Beibei came out of the space and entered the pharmacy again.

Bo Beibei walked up to a little beggar with the medicine she had grabbed, and was about to ask him to do something for her when she heard a noise.

"It's broken, it's broken, the noodle shop in the back street has eaten people to death!" A man shouted in panic and ran to the pharmacy. He also ate the noodle bread from that noodle shop just now. I don't know if he was poisoned?

Bakery?
Bo Beibei raised her eyebrows, it can't be such a coincidence, can it?

"Sister, please do me a favor." The little beggar saw that Bo Beibei had stood there for a long time without paying, so he stretched out a broken bowl in front of her and begged.

Bo Beibei put down a copper plate and turned to go to the street behind.

As soon as Bai Beibei turned into that street, he saw You Shi's distant cousin, Lao You, escorted out of the store by several government servants, and the people on the street pointed at him and discussed in low voices.

"I'm wronged, officer, I didn't poison, I really didn't poison, I was wronged..." Old You shouted hysterically, but unfortunately those yamen servants ignored him at all and put him in a prison car .

"My lord, I didn't poison you, I was wronged..."

"Ma'am, may I ask what happened to the owner of this shop?" Bai Beibei asked a woman beside her in a low voice.

"I heard that this old man poisoned the customers and killed them." The woman said with a face of fear. She lived nearby and used to frequent this pastry shop. Now that I think about it, I feel scared. .

"Has the owner had any trouble with that customer?" Bai Beibei looked at the woman with a gossip look.

Before she even made a move, someone got on top of her, which saved her trouble.

"I'm not sure about that. Nothing like this has happened before, but these yamen servants are really fast. As soon as something happened here, the yamen servants arrived." The woman said unintentionally.

Hearing this, Bo Beibei's eyes flickered slightly, quietly dropped the croton in his left hand at his feet, turned around and went to buy food.

The moment she turned around, an inscrutable smile appeared on Bo Beibei's lips.

I don't know who Lao You offended, that person actually wanted to go with her, but that person was much more ruthless than her.

To buy delicious food, Bo Beibei bought several kinds of vegetable seeds, some in each season.

After Bai Beibei ate a bowl of noodles, he went to the river to wait for the ox cart. As soon as Bo Beibei got ten baskets of soil out of the space, the cart selling firewood arrived as scheduled.

Seeing the ten baskets of soil, the coachman couldn't help joking, "Girl, are you really growing vegetables?"

"Yeah, the vegetables you grow yourself are delicious." Bo Beibei smiled and put a few cloth bags of food on the car.

The coachman helped her carry ten baskets of dirt onto the cart, and asked, "Girl, this dirt looks fat, where did you get it?"

Bo Beibei winked at him and said with a smile, "Secret!"

The coachman was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled tactfully: "Okay, it's a secret, so I won't ask."

When the bullock cart passed the vegetable field, Bai Beibei got off the cart and bought two bags of vegetables from the vegetable farmer. There were not many Chrysanthemum chrysanthemums left at home, and she planned to keep them for herself. These were only for guests.

When Bai Beibei came home, Bai Manchuan and the others hadn't come back yet. Mancang was looking at the door with his neck stretched out. As soon as he saw the bullock cart, he ran over happily: "Sister——"

Bo Beibei jumped out of the car to catch his younger brother, and said with a smile, "I'm getting fatter, my sister can hardly hold her."

During this period of time, Mancang ate and drank well, and grew up so fast that it was a bit difficult for Bai Beibei to hug her.

The coachman helped Bo Beibei get the soil into the house and then left. The Yun family and others helped carry a few bags of food into the house.

"Come here with a full warehouse, let's see what good things my sister bought for you?" Bai Beibei took out two cakes from a small cloth bag.

"Thank you, sister!" Mancang happily took a bite, and then said with a look of disgust: "The cakes made by Wumu are delicious."

"Ah?" Bo Beibei was embarrassed, and took a bite of the cake suspiciously: "It doesn't seem to be very delicious."

It cost her five cents to buy these two cakes, which is really not worth it!

After placing the ingredients, Feng took a small cloth bag back to the main house, and asked, "Bebe, what's in this small bag? Why does it smell like medicine?"

"This is the medicine I bought for uncle, I'll take it to uncle."

Bo Beibei happened to run into the smiling Bo Dinglang father and son at the door of his uncle's house.

"Second Uncle, Brother Mannian, are you back?" No need to guess, Bai Beibei also knew why they were so happy.

"Beibei, look, five liang of silver is here!" Grinning, Bai Dinglang took the money bag to Bai Beibei, threw it on him, and caught it again.

Bai Dinglang's funny way of playing tricks amused Bai Beibei: "Second Uncle, the business will get better and better in the future, and then I will let you count the money until you are soft."

"Hey, I won't be soft when I have money."

Several people entered the main house while talking.

"I heard laughter from a long distance away, did I make money?" Bai Dinghai said with a smile.

"Brother, look." Bai Dinglang dumped the money bag onto the stone bed, and a few pieces of silver rolled onto the bed.

"One day of your boating is enough to catch fish for more than two months." Bai Dinghai said with emotion.

Bo Beibei looked at the bed, and said "Huh" strangely: "Second Uncle, why is it Liuliang?"

"Those young masters don't even blink when they spend money. They gave us a tael of silver, and we refused to take it. They are not happy."

It turned out to be a bounty!Bo Beibei smiled.
