"Just go over and stand, but don't yell for her." Zuo Datou still warned his subordinates like this.
More than half an hour later, Zuo Datou, who was checking in, looked up and saw the two servants coming back, "What's going on with you two? Didn't I ask you to go and watch?"
"I'm watching. She's gone back after the sale, so we don't have to give her away, right?"
"Sold out?" Zuo Datou was quite surprised.
"Yeah, it's just a swarm of excitement." The person on the left said, "That girl is really a capable person. When she goes to where they are resting, she shouts, the food she makes is delicious, and people can smell it from a distance. To Xiang, even what she brought was not enough to sell."
After listening, Zuo Datou became interested, "What is she selling?"
"Millet cake, with a layer of jujube paste on top. The little girl knows how to be a good person and gave us two pieces. It's really sweet and delicious, and the price is not high. One piece costs one penny, and five cents for a big piece. No wonder Those people will buy it.”
"She has money on her. I'm afraid that someone might be worried about her, so you go secretly to protect her." Zuo Datou took out the sealed letter next to him, "It just so happens that this is something to be sent back to the Yamen. You follow her. Take a trip.”
The man below took the thing from Zuo Datou's hand and sighed: "Hey, our yamen is also kind to that girl and has nothing to say."
"I'll help you if you can, it's easy." Zuo Datou said, "I'll let you rest in the Yamen for one night and come back tomorrow."
"The leader, aren't you going to ask us to push the girl's cart over tomorrow?"
"No. I kindly let you relax, but you still don't want to?"
"Yes!" The two men immediately turned around and ran away.
Shu Erhua felt a sense of satisfaction that she had never experienced before. She made one hundred and twenty coins on this trip today.
The grocery store bought twenty cents of red dates and ten cents of candies on credit. When she borrowed them that day, she felt that the thirty cents were heavy on her back. Now it seems that making money is not that easy.
One hundred and twenty cents is needed to pay off the credit, and after deducting the cost of millet, the rent of the cart, and even the firewood money, this trip is worth talking about, and seventy cents will always be earned.
She pulled the cart and walked in the cold wind, but she didn't feel cold at all. It was like a righteousness that had never missed her was spreading from the soles of her feet to her whole body.
Making money is such a joyful thing.
She covered her head and walked forward. From the moment she sold the millet cake, she got rid of the dissatisfaction of the past ten years. From now on, she can stride forward every step she takes.
Shu Erhua walked away happily, completely unaware that two people were following her not far or near behind.
The two people watched her push the trolley into the house before heading to the Yamen.
When she got home and locked the door, she left the things on the trolley and went directly into the bedroom, took out the money bag, and counted it carefully again. At this point, two more copper coins came out.
She divided the money into several parts, which should be used to pay off debts, which should be kept as principal, and which should be hidden.
After counting the money, she immediately went to grind millet powder. Fortunately, Luo Yu had a small stone mill at home, otherwise the millet cake would not have been made so smoothly, and she would not be so convenient now.
When everything was almost ready, she locked the door and pulled the cart to Luo Sanmu's house.
She gave them today's three cents, but continued to ask their family to borrow a car, "Aunt, will your family need to use a trolley recently? I want to borrow it for a few more days. I will never use it in vain. As long as it is in my hands for a day, I will I’ll give you three cents.”
Jiang Chan felt uncomfortable holding three pennies in her hand. She didn't know where she got the money by herself. "My family hasn't been using the trolley recently. It's okay to lend it to you for a while. But three pennies a day is not a small amount. You Just use it, you don’t have to pay, just don’t damage the car.”
"No, no, no, I must give you the money."
"If you must pay, then don't use my car." Jiang Chan also expressed her own attitude, "If I accept your money, others will not know how to scold me."
Although Shu Erhua lowered her head at the moment, seemingly listening to Jiang Chan's words, she was actually thinking that if she could afford to buy a cart by herself after selling Mi Zi manuscripts for a few more days.
The reason why Shu Erhua insisted on giving this money was because it was difficult to pay back the debt and it was difficult to repay favors. Sooner or later, others would know about the money she made from selling millet cakes. If she really didn't give the money and used his car, When the time comes, I'm afraid I'll have to give more.
Shu Erhua is afraid that others will put their hands on the money she earns.
"Okay." Shu Erhua pushed the car to Jiang Chan's house, "Sorry to trouble Auntie, I'll go to another house and ask."
"Hey!" Jiang Chan didn't expect this man to be so tough, and she thought so. If he wasn't a tough person, how could he go to court to sue her husband's family?
"Forget it, if you want to pay, just give it. You'd better keep using this car." Jiang Chan knew that Luojia Village was united internally but quite repulsive to the outside world. After Shu Erhua reconciled with the heirs of Luojia Village, although she still lived in She is the territory of Luojia Village, but she is not a member of the village. The people of Luojia Village have no favorable impression of her.
She wanted to borrow a scooter from another place, but it was difficult to do so.
After settling the cart issue, Shu Erhua went to the grocery store again, paid off the bills and bought some things.
Early in the morning, Shu Erhua got up and went to the kitchen to work.
Along with the fragrance of dates, several nearby families looked at Luo Yu's house at the same time, "What are you doing? It seems like you are cooking dates?"
"I've been doing this for several days. It seems like I've plucked a lot of things from Wang Lamei's hands and eaten delicious food every day?"
"At such a young age, she has enjoyed great blessings."
"As a woman without a man, how can you guarantee that this money must have come from Wang Lamei's hands?"
As he was talking, he saw someone coming from a distance.
"Look, someone is here to find her."
It was Luo Yu who came. He had cakes made in the post house wrapped in his hands and wanted to give them to Shu Erhua. He asked Shu Erhua if the millet cake had been sold.
"Auntie." He saw the women standing in a circle at the door with some curiosity, "Why are you all standing here?"
"Stand and talk for a while." The man saw Luo Yu holding a small package in his hand, "Yu'er, what do you have in your hand?"
"Half a piece of cake."
After Luo Yu entered the door, the person next to him said exaggeratedly: "I even want to bring her half of the official cake to eat! This woman is very capable."
The dark man looked towards the ditch, and the sun, moon and stars only entered his eyes from that place. He didn't know to look up and saw those things hanging in the sky, at a height that he could not reach.
Although Shu Erhua took the time to open the door for Luo Yu, she had too many things to prepare and had no time to talk to him.
Luo Yu said several words, and Shu Erhua only responded hurriedly.
Luo Yu saw that he couldn't help, and standing still delayed the other party's work, so he had no choice but to leave.
Before lunch, Shu Erhua pushed two buckets of millet cakes to the wall again.
