Here at the back door, the fish stall owner just brought the fish over, but the kitchen boy was so anxious to take the fish to the kitchen that he forgot to latch the door.
Ruan Tiantian opened the door easily and slipped out.
She and Qingfeng usually go shopping on the streets a lot and are very familiar with the streets.
She touched the purse in her arms, which contained the pocket money she usually saved, so she bought a candied haws and went back.
It’s just that she is small, and there were many people on the street today. She was squeezed and almost fell down several times. Fortunately, the place selling candied haws on a stick was not far away, and she arrived soon.
"Grandpa, I want a candied haws on a stick."
When the candied haws seller heard the sound, he lowered his head and saw that she was the only little girl.
But Ruan Tiantian and Qingfeng often helped this old man before, so the old man also remembered her.
"Why is the little girl alone today, where is your father?"
"Wait for me over there." Ruan Tang pointed in the direction of Hudi Lao Restaurant.
When Qingfeng brought Ruan Tiantian out, they were often misunderstood as father and daughter. They didn't bother to explain, and some stall owners who were familiar with them thought Qingfeng was her father.
She doesn’t have a father anyway, so they can just let them misunderstand her.
The old man took a candied haws and handed it to her. Ruan Tiantian took out her purse and took out two copper coins and handed them to the old man.
But when she was taking out the copper coins, a few ingots of gold leaked out of her purse.
She put her purse away, took the candied haws, and said goodbye to the old man before crowding through the crowd again and heading towards the Hudi Lao Restaurant.
Only this time, it was even more crowded than before. She felt like she was being pushed back and forth, and she suddenly lost her direction. When she was pushed to the side of the road, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She identified the direction and walked forward along the open space behind the street vendors.
But when she reached a stall, she stopped.
She looked at the cute porcelain dolls placed on the ground and couldn't help but grin.
She shouted loudly to the stall owner: "Boss, how do you sell this little doll?"
Ruan Tiantian pointed to a little boy's doll. She felt that it looked very similar to her brother, both of them were dull.
"Little girl, this doll is not for sale."
"Not selling? Then why are you putting it here?" Ruan Tiantian asked innocently.
The stall owner smiled and handed her a few bamboo hoops, "I used this condom. If it hits the trap, it belongs to the girl."
"If you win, it's mine, no need to pay?"
"Well, if you get it, it belongs to the girl. You don't need to pay any extra penny."
When Ruan Tiantian heard this, how could she not do such a good thing?
"Then I want a condom, and you give me a bamboo hoop."
Seeing that the stall was open, the stall owner quickly handed Ruan Tiantian ten bamboo rings with a smile.
Ruan Tiantian took it and started throwing it away.
At first she couldn't get the point, and she deviated a lot from each one.
But after losing a few, she slowly found some skills. In addition, she usually studied martial arts with Qingfeng. Although she was not very good at it, she was smart and knew how to use it flexibly.
The next few laps were lost better. Although I didn't hit the target, they were all missed.
When the stall owner saw that she had used up all ten bamboo rings, he handed her another ten, and Ruan Tiantian took them herself.
But she clearly found a clever trick, but she still couldn't catch it.
Soon the ten bamboo circles were gone again.
The stall owner then gave her ten more, and just like that, Ruan Tiantian tried nearly a hundred traps in a row but couldn't catch anything.
And when she took the bamboo ring from the stall owner for the third time, many people gathered in front of the stall.
Seeing that she had tried so many tricks but failed, everyone couldn't help but started whispering.
Ruan Tiantian was finally tired of trapping, and when she saw that she still couldn't trap one, she suddenly lost interest.
She handed the few remaining rings in her hand to the boss, "Boss, I don't have any condoms anymore, I'm exhausted."
"The little girl hasn't caught one yet, why don't you try more?"
"I won't try it anymore." She planned to bring all this stuff home next time she came to see her Uncle Qingfeng.
After Ruan Tiantian took the bamboo ring from her hand, the stall owner turned around and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned around, the stall owner grabbed her clothes and said with a smile: "Little girl, you haven't given me the money yet."
"Money? What money? Didn't you say you don't want money? You said you don't need money if you win. I haven't won any of them now, so why should I give you money?"
"Little girl, of course you don't need to pay for this porcelain doll, but you need to pay for the bamboo hoops. You used a hundred bamboo hoops in total, so you paid me two hundred coins."
"Why don't you grab two hundred coins?" Ruan Tiantian muttered.
Ruan Tiantian wonders if she has inherited Ruan Tang's business genes. She has always been very good at calculating money. She doesn't save what she should spend, but she doesn't plunk off what she shouldn't spend.
Two hundred cents is enough for her to buy a hundred skewers of candied haws, or twenty chicken drumsticks, or eat four large meals of pork elbows.
"Little girl, why do you speak so harshly? You are so young. Didn't your parents teach you that you have to pay when you buy things outside?"
"But I didn't buy anything? Why do I have to pay?"
"You...you little girl, why are you so unreasonable? Anyway, if you don't give me this money today, you can't leave."
The stall owner grabbed Ruan Tiantian's neck directly.
Ruan Tiantian was just a child. He was holding her like this, and her legs couldn't even touch the ground, so she couldn't run anywhere.
"Let me go. I'm going to tell my mother and my father and let them take care of you."
"It's useless to tell anyone. If you don't pay, I will send you to the Yamen."
Ruan Tiantian became anxious when she heard that she was going to be sent to the Yamen. If her mother found out, it would not only be as simple as copying the Four Books and Five Classics, but she might also be spanked.
Even if she is unlucky today.
"Okay, okay, I'll give you money and you put me down." Ruan Tiantian shouted in a sweet voice.
When the stall owner saw that she wanted to give her money, he immediately let her go.
And everyone onlookers couldn't help but said to the stall owner, "You are a child, what you are doing is not authentic. Isn't this a clear way to trick other people's children into being ignorant?"
"Yes! You are really wicked, you can make any money."
The stall owner was not happy when he heard that, "Go, go, I opened the door to do business, how could I be cheated? She is happy with it, how can she say she is cheating."
Although Ruan Tiantian didn't want to, she still obediently put her hand into her clothes.
But she fumbled around in her clothes for a long time, but couldn't find any trace of her purse. She couldn't help lowering her head and pulling the clothes open, but she saw that it was empty. Where was the wallet?
The stall owner saw her groping for a long time and realized something was wrong.
"You don't have any money, do you?"
"I have it, but it seems to be missing..." Ruan Tiantian curled her lips, looking like she was about to cry.
After all, he was a child. He was forced to give money and then found that his wallet was missing. How could he hold his nerve?
When the stall owner saw her look like this, his face darkened and he said, "It's useless for you to cry. Just follow me to the government office today."
As he spoke, he reached out to lift her back collar.
But this time, before his hand touched Ruan Tiantian's clothes, a stone hit him directly on the back of his hand.
"Who? Who beat me?"
"I'm going to beat you!" A harsh voice sounded.
Then a man in white clothes was seen walking out of the crowd.
He walked directly in front of Ruan Tiantian, then squatted down, "Little girl, if you don't cry, he won't dare to send you to the Yamen."
