Chapter 136 Eat, Eat, Eat

Man Bao and Zhou Xi have not been to the county for a long time, thinking that Zhou Dalang and the others are not so fast, they did not go to the front of the county, but went down the street and went back to Ji Shitang.

Zhou Xi stood at the door of Ji Shitang and said to his younger brothers and sisters, "You guys can go play, I'll see the doctor first."

He also told Thursday and Friday, "Be sure to look after Man Bao."

Thursday Lang was slick, "Don't worry, big sister, even if we lose ourselves, we won't lose your younger sister."

Although Man Bao is also very concerned about the health of the eldest sister, he is also very enthusiastic about shopping. After weighing it, he took out a candy from his pocket and put it in Zhou Xi's palm, saying: "Eldest sister, you need to see a doctor first. If you take bitter medicine, take a candy first."

Zhou Xi responded with a smile. In fact, she hadn't come to get medicine for a long time, mainly because she didn't have much money on her body, but now she has income again. .

Without the big sister to be an eye-catcher, Thursday Lang became mad, carried Man Bao on his back, and rushed towards the crowd.

Friday Lang and Saturday Lang also shouted and followed.

Some people on the street looked at the four of them like a hillbilly, but more of them looked at them with kindness. Today, many of the people who came to hang out on the street were young people from the village. Like Zhou Dalang and the others, they were all carrying grain. tax.

The county town is just that big, with three streets running vertically and horizontally. The most lively is the street in Zhengzhong County Office. Thurs Lang finished walking around the streets not long after he ran, and then he stopped in front of a steamed bun shop, lowered his head and asked the man standing beside him. Man Bao, "Are you hungry?"

Man Bao nodded. He only came out after eating breakfast in the morning, but it is almost noon now, can you be hungry?

Thu Lang looked at the fragrant buns and swallowed, but in the end Man Bao couldn't resist the temptation, so he took out money from his pocket to buy it.

But she is not stupid, she looked at the three brothers and said, "Big brother, second brother and third brother and sister are hungry."

Her ten pennies are definitely not enough.

When the other three heard it, they acted decisively, "If you don't have enough money, we'll make it up with ours."

Man Bao was so happy that he stepped forward to choose the buns.

The buns are very big, and there are vegetarian buns and meat buns. The vegetarian buns are one penny, and the meat buns are two three cents.

Man Bao weighed it and decided to buy half of it.

She counted the number of people and decided to buy eight vegetarian buns and eight meat buns, which was exactly twenty cents.

Man Bao gave out her ten cents, glanced at the three older brothers, and decisively took four cents out of Shizulang's share, and she also said to him, "Fourth brother, if you give out four cents, you are the biggest. , so you have to pay more, you still have four coins in my place."

Thursday Lang widened his eyes and said dissatisfiedly: "What can you do with the remaining four cents, you can just give it to me."

For four cents of money, if he wants to buy it himself, he can buy two meat buns and one vegetarian bun.

Man Bao covered the money, shook his head and refused, "No, saving money is about accumulating more, how can you not save it because it only has four cents, you can save four cents today, and you will save four cents tomorrow, In ten days, it is forty wen, and in 100 days it is four hundred wen.”

"Didn't you say that money is money only when it circulates, and when it's not circulating, it's copper, then..."

"You're stupid," Man Bao looked at him with contempt. "This is risk prevention. The copper plate is kept. If there is a major event in the future, won't it be circulated? Otherwise, you will spend it all now, and you will need money in the future. , where did you get the money?"

Chu Lang was in a mess, and said madly: "Why did you say everything, you and eldest sister didn't say that just now."

Man Bao said of course: "You are not the eldest sister."

Thurou:  …

Man Bao Qiankun was decisive, and he waved his little hand: "That's it."

She stepped forward with the money, smiled sweetly at the stall owner, and asked, "We bought so much, can you send us an extra vegetarian bag?"

The stall owner has been paying attention to them. After all, there is still a little time before noon, and there are not many people eating at this time.

There were four people standing in front of the booth, and these four people were still drooling at his steamer. It was hard for him to pretend he couldn't see, so he heard what Man Bao said just now.

He always thought that he was smart enough, but Man Bao's calculation just now made his mind bloated. He counted with his fingers and found that sixteen buns were indeed twenty cents. After hesitating, he added more to her. I took a vegetarian bag and smiled: "Okay, I'll give you one."

Man Bao smiled sweetly at him.

The steamed buns were wrapped in lotus leaves, and a total of four bags were sorted. Each of the four people held one bag. They couldn't help swallowing, and then decided to go back to find someone.

Man Bao ran at the front with short legs, first went to Ji Shitang to find Zhou Xi, and then dragged her to the county government to find Zhou Dalang and the others.

Zhou Dalang and others were lining up in the queue, moving forward slowly.

There are a lot of people who are rushing to pay taxes today, so after moving for a long time, it is not their turn. The main clerk in front is leading his subordinates to calculate the grain tax, and the people on the side are weighing, only after paying the qualified amount of tax and grain. Only then can you get a lottery, take the lottery to the side to get the receipts, and this year's grain tax will be paid.

Wu Wulang rushed forward to find Zhou Dalang with the buns in his hand. After a while, Zhou Dalang and Zhou Zhoulang came out. Seeing the lotus leaves in their hands, Zhou Dalang felt heartache, "Manbao wants to eat, just buy her two. , why did you buy so much?"

Friday Lang: "Fourth brother asked to buy it."

Zhou Shilang glared at him, and Zhou Dalang glared at him and asked, "Whose money? Where did you get so much money?"

Thursday Lang said: "Brother, we have made money from selling ginger. It only happens once a year. Before the autumn harvest, everyone was tired for two months. What's wrong with eating a good meal, and this is why Manbao cares for us, isn't it Manchu? precious."

Man Bao nodded, squatted on the ground and opened the lotus leaf, picked out a larger looking bun and handed it to Zhou Dalang, eagerly saying, "Brother, eat quickly."

Zhou Dalang couldn't help but soften his heart. After taking it, he broke the buns open. Seeing that they were meat buns, he handed them to Man Bao and asked her to eat the stuffing inside.

Man Bao took it, chewed it one by one, and then stuffed the lotus leaf to Zhou Dalang.

Everyone squatted on the ground to eat, knowing that the steamed buns were one vegetarian and one meat, so they ate them separately.

Zhou Dalang didn't eat too much, he got up after eating two, "I'll go and replace the third one."

Man Bao was still trying hard to eat the buns in her hand. She thought it was delicious, but her stomach seemed to be a little small, and she couldn't eat it after eating one.

She was a little regretful, so she looked at her brothers and sisters baffled.

Chu Chulang was happy while eating, and said to her, "You have to grow longer, and you will be able to eat two buns in two years."

Zhou Xi glared at him, so that he would not make Man Bao angry, she tore apart her meat bun and took out the stuffing inside for Man Bao to eat.

After taking a bite, Man Bao shook his head, "I can't eat, I'm very full."

Zhou Xi touched her bulging belly and was slightly happy before eating the rest.
