While Mr. Chu and the others were having a heated discussion, the west wing was filled with joy.

"Daughter, my mother was really scared to death by you just now!"

Mrs. Ye gently patted her daughter's head. She had been married for eighteen years and had never seen any daughter-in-law or granddaughter dare to go to the men's table to grab food, not even Mrs. Du.

"Yes, sister, you are so awesome! Not only did you pick up the meat for us, but you also ate it yourself." Shichiro laughed. He hadn't smelled meat in months, and he just ate a huge piece of meat. It was even better than before.

It’s Chinese New Year.

"Sister, you are so awesome. Only Brother Dalang and Brother Erlang can have good meat and dishes. The others can sometimes eat a little, but we have never had to eat it. Not only did the milk not make a sound this time, I didn't expect that even Master would dare to eat it."

I scold you." Rokuro was also very happy.

The Ning Dynasty governed the country with filial piety, and Mrs. Du always brought up filial piety. In the past twenty or thirty years, no one in the family had dared to disobey. Unexpectedly, Chu Congrong introduced the ethics to deal with it. They couldn't react for a while, and it was normal for them to be frustrated.

"Is the meat delicious?" Chu Congrong asked the twins with a smile. In another time and space, she had watched many palace and house fighting dramas, and she knew the difference between legitimate concubines and concubines.

The two brothers nodded desperately: "It's a pity that my mother didn't get to eat."

"You will be happy if you have a mother to eat." Mrs. Ye said with a happy smile. It was not easy for her sons to have to rely on their sick daughter to fight for meat if they wanted to eat it.

"Mom, I will buy a lot of meat for you to eat from now on. Ahem, let's eat one piece and throw one away!" Chu Congrong was infected by their laughter and praised Haikou.

Although there is no artifact or space travel, this girl, with her flexible mind, believes that it should be no problem for her family to live a good life.

"Yes, let's make money together and let my mother eat one piece and throw away another!" the twins said in unison. After all, they didn't understand why my sister wanted my mother to eat one piece and throw away another when eating meat. Wouldn't it be delicious to eat them all?

?

"Okay, okay, you are all good children, mother, wait!"

Mrs. Ye was very happy, thinking that it would be nice if the head of the family was here tonight, but her daughter was very angry at herself.

After waking up one night, Chu Congrong found that her energy was a little better. Could it be that the slice of pork belly last night had magical effects? It was like a miracle elixir.

Feeling that there was only seven pennies left in her pocket, she couldn't help but feel a little worried. With her family so poor, it seemed that she couldn't wait until her body recovered, so she had to hurry up and find a way to make money.

She thought for a while and told the twins to prepare pig grass and feed the chickens as quickly as possible so that they could accompany her to the town. Farm children were like this. They had to work if they wanted to eat. Chu Congrong didn't want to create any complications and didn't dare to let the twins leave their hands.

This job gave Mrs. Du an excuse to cause trouble.

The twins were overjoyed when they heard this. They had never been to the town before. Longguwo Village is more than ten miles away from the town. It takes half an hour to walk, and it is faster to take an ox cart. The fare is one penny.

.

Because they got up early, it was just after morning when the twins finished their work. When the three of them went out, Ms. Ye was working in the kitchen and didn't notice. When they reached the entrance of the village, a bullock cart was waiting.

"Uncle Biao, it's early, can you take us to the town?" Liulang greeted the cowherd.

"Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi, this is Uncle Biao's second trip, why is it early? Do you have money to take the bus? There are many people taking the bus today." Uncle Biao smiled, he was a farmer in his early forties.

The twins shook their heads and said they had no money. Chu Congrong didn't want to waste time, so she said: "Uncle Biao, the three of us siblings are thin and light and don't take up much space. We can go back and forth for three cents, but we don't have more."

Half price for children is very reasonable, so it should be okay.

"Hey, you are Wu Ya. Uncle Biao hasn't seen her grow into a big girl in several years. Come on up."

Big kids like this usually ride for free if accompanied by an adult. Now it’s not bad to earn three cents from a round trip. Uncle Biao readily agreed.

After a while, several people came up one after another, and the bullock cart was quickly filled up. The people in the cart were all women in their thirties and forties, carrying some crops and eggs. Some of them were surprised when they saw Chu Calm.

They all asked about it.

"Aunt Niu, Aunt Gouzi, Aunt Osmanthus...this is my fifth sister. She has just recovered from her illness and her brain is not very bright. She doesn't recognize people very well. Don't be angry." Liu Lang explained quickly.

"Wow, she is Wuya. Wasn't it said a while ago that she was not good enough?"

"When the Li family sent him back, he said he was about to die, but he didn't expect that he would recover so quickly."

"That's right, Xiaoliu, you asked me to borrow a few handfuls of rice a few days ago. It's ready so quickly. You're not lying to us, are you?"

"Yes, I heard that Sister-in-law of the Liu family generously gave her several eggs. Now Wuya doesn't look sick at all. She looks so white and looks so good."

…

Borrowed a few handfuls of rice and publicized it in public?

Chu Congrong couldn't accept their way of speaking.

But when I think back, a few handfuls of rice are a rare and precious thing for farmers. When I think about the kindness they owe to me for survival, it suddenly makes sense.

"Aunts and aunts, it is because of your generous help that Wu Ya saved her life. Your kindness will be remembered by my family, and I will repay you slowly when I have the opportunity in the future."

The women were very happy to hear that the little girl was so good at talking. They each sighed a few words and soon changed the topic to other things.

Chu Congrong secretly timed it. After more than half an hour of bumps, a small town soon appeared in front of her.

The town is not big, with several rows of antique houses standing side by side, most of which are old. The distance between the houses is not narrow, but there are many people selling them, and there are all kinds of vegetable baskets and bamboo baskets, and even

There were chickens, ducks, sheep, dogs, etc. for sale, which seemed a bit crowded. The sounds of hawking, bargaining, and calling for friends came and went, making it very lively. The outside of the town was surrounded by mountains and green. But because the weather was very hot, the plants

There is no energy and a little lack of vitality.

It is very similar to some ancient towns that Chu Congrong visited in another time and space.

The twins looked around and were very excited, but they were afraid of getting separated and worried that the fifth sister would be injured, so they held her hands tightly, one on the left and the other on the right. Chu Conongrong noticed that the emphasis was different. Although she was also very interested in everything about the town, she

It's more about finding ways to make money.

The streets sell all kinds of vegetables, melons, bean sprouts, and tofu. Some sell chickens, ducks, and game. Most of them sell chickens, ducks, and eggs, which are packed in small vegetable baskets. Each person has dozens of them. The peasant women

Squatting on the ground, looking forward to bargaining with people passing by. There were also peanut sellers, both raw and cooked. There were also people buying steamed buns and steamed buns, and some stalls also sold wontons and glutinous rice balls.

What he saw in front of him was generally not much different from the rural market in another time and space. Chu Congrong felt very disappointed. It seemed that it was of no use. He had to spend more time to understand this world deeply.

After walking around and looking around, Chu Congrong still had no idea for a long time. Chu Congrong was thirsty, hungry and a little tired, so he found a bun stall with relatively few people and sat down. The meat buns and vegetarian buns cost a penny, but the vegetarian buns were bigger than the meat buns.

Quite a bit. Chu Congrong hesitated for a moment, reluctantly spent two cents to buy two meat buns, and shared them with the twins.

Alas, I only have five pennies left with me this time. After deducting three pennies for travel expenses, I am down to my last two pennies. What else can I do with only two pennies?

"Master Xu is here!"

The crowd cheered and suddenly became excited!

"Master Xu is mighty, Master Xu is the best!"

"Master Xu is mighty, Master Xu is the best!"

…

I saw a beautiful young man wearing a bright blue satin gown and a gorgeous square scarf on his head, with delicate features, a straight nose, red lips and white teeth, walking ostentatiously on the street while shaking a paper fan.

Publicity.

From time to time, he took out a handful of copper coins from his body and threw them wantonly behind him. A group of children followed closely. When they saw there was money to be picked up, they immediately swarmed up to grab it, cheering with joy.

Is this the style of this time and space dandy?

This guy has no subordinates to clear the way, and he is not seen as being domineering, bullying the weak, doing evil things, etc. Instead, he is just a boy who spends money.

The twins were also a little moved. They looked at Chu Congrong with eyes full of longing, but were stopped by her eyes. She firmly believed that they would not give in to their brothers for a few pennies.

"Kids, go and grab the money. Mr. Xu comes every day to scatter money. As long as you follow him, you can pick up a few pennies." The owner of the bun stall was very kind, and he was a little curious when he saw the twins not moving at all.

"Uncle, why don't the adults go and rob? Maybe it will make more money than doing business for a day." Chu Congrong was a little curious.

"Little girl, this is your first time on the street. Mr. Xu is known as the number one loser in Baoshan County. This is a game between him and the children. The adults can't help but join in the fun. But which stall does Mr. Xu like?

He pays for everything and never takes it for free. He sells dozens or hundreds of coins at a time, and he has taken care of almost all the stalls in the town. Hey, uncle, I got one last month, and it was enough for two meat buns.

Got eighty-two cents."

The bun stall owner laughed when he mentioned this.

Chu Congrong remembered a famous meme on the Internet in her previous life: I, Mr. Zhao, will pay for all the drinks tonight, where are the screams!

…

Regardless of time and space, this is the standard for the rich second generation.

While they were talking, Mr. Xu happened to pass by the bun stall, and Chu Congrong blurted out out of nowhere: "Rich prodigal boy, stop right there!"

The walking Master Xu stood up and looked around in surprise. His unkind eyes finally fell on Chu Congrong. He pointed at his nose with a fan, his eyes were extremely unhappy. Little girl, do you dare to scold me?

Chu Congrong stuffed the small half of the bun in his hand to Qilang and nodded firmly. I just call you a prodigal boy, why?

Mr. Xu stood still for a moment, his eyes locked with Chu Kongrong for a long time, and then he took out a few pennies and handed them over with a smile.

Chu Congrong didn't pick it up for a long time. The twins wanted to pick it up but didn't dare to reach out.

"Little girl, you should take it!" The boss of the bun stall was worried for her. The little girl was so bold. She scolded someone in front of her and still got money, which was almost ten cents.

Chu Congrong's mind turned quickly, and she did not reach out to take the money. Instead, she looked at Mr. Xu and said, "Rich man, everyone calls you a prodigal son and I also call you a loser. You won't be angry, right? Do you dare?

Play a game with me?"

Mr. Xu paused for a moment, with a playful smile on his face. He pulled up a stool and sat down. He handed the few pennies in his hand to the boss: "Give these two brats two meat buns!"

The boss took the money and thought about Mr. Xu's intention, should he give it to each person, one or two? After thinking about it, even if it was two per person, it would only be four cents, and he could still earn a few more cents, so he picked it up generously.

Got four buns.

The two brothers took the buns and were so happy that they couldn't help but stare at their sister and didn't start eating. Seeing her sister indicating that they could eat with confidence, the two brothers handed her one in unison.
