Chapter 400 Cancellation of the city entry fee

In the end, Bai Erlang was still stuffed into the carriage by Mrs. Bai and went to the county town with Bai Shanbao and the others to choose the abacus.

The Bai family is not short of money, so Mrs. Bai generously gave Bai Erlang a purse and said, "Buy a better one. When you learn it, you can help your mother settle accounts."

Bai Erlang responded gloomily, but he forgot about this trouble shortly after getting in the car, and became happy.

The three little friends huddled together in front of the window and looked at the flowers and trees outside.

I don't usually watch it when I walk, but it seems to be very different when I watch it in the car.

Man Bao proposed to sit on the carriage.

Dae-gil, the coachman, refused.

When Miss Man Bao sits out, the two young masters will definitely sit out too. This road is not easy to walk. One bumps and someone rolls over into the car. Will he only get his own young master, or to get Miss Man Bao first, or to keep it first? Master Tang?

So in order not to be entangled, he thought they should stay in the car.

Even if the car rolls over, it is safest to be in the car.

The three children all expressed regret, and then they lay at the window and looked at the flowers and trees slowly moving backwards. The climbing vine flower...

This is the time when the flowers are at their peak throughout the year, the temperature is suitable, the soil and water are suitable, whether it is flowers, grass or trees, all vying to bloom at this time.

It's just a pity that these flowers and treasures have been ravaged, and she has not seen any new varieties appear.

Of course, there may be, but she didn't see it because she was a little faster in the carriage.

The three bumped all the way to the county seat. They had to get out of the car and go in by themselves as soon as they arrived at the city gate. The county seat was so big, and they finished shopping in a short time by car, which was meaningless.

So it's better to walk on your own.

The three climbed out of the carriage and left Daji to go to the line first.

Man Bao took out a penny from his pocket, and Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang were accustomed to holding the penny in their palms, and soon it was their turn.

The three of them lined up according to their age, and um, they also lined up according to their seniority.

Man Bao approached and spread out his small hands towards the gate guard.

The gatekeeper was stunned for a moment, then waved: "Go, go, go in."

Man Bao's eyes widened slightly, "Don't you want money?"

The gatekeeper rolled his eyes and said, "I want it, but the county magistrate said that the city entry fee has been cancelled. As long as it is not a large amount of goods entering the city, there is no need to pay the city fee."

The gatekeeper glanced at the child in front of him and felt familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was, so he waved his hand: "Okay, come in, the next one."

Bai Shanbao had heard it, his eyes narrowed with joy, he stepped forward and stared at the gate guard with bright eyes.

The gate guard glanced at him, then at Bai Erlang behind him, and waved directly: "Okay, okay, hurry in, the ones behind, hurry up, those who don't have bulk goods come forward directly, don't Wandering there, how long do you want to delay with so few people?"

The three little friends rushed into the city hand in hand, wailing happily.

Bai Shanbao didn't even know why he was called, because he didn't lack that penny, and he didn't feel bad about the city fee, but seeing Man Bao so happy, he couldn't help but feel happy.

Man Bao was really happy, she said, "I'll tell Datou the good news when I get home. In the future, if they want to come to the county town, they will come to the county town to play."

In the past, in the past year, the big bosses would only come to the city unless they were sure that there was a business. After all, entering the city required money.

But now they don't, so no matter if there is any business, they can come. It's natural to have them, and without them, nothing will be lost.

Dae-gil is one step behind them into the city, but he is not worried about the three.

The county town is so big, not only the three children are very familiar with the county town, but some people in the county town are also very familiar with them.

However, Dae-gil kept looking at them, making sure they were within his line of sight.

Leading the carriage behind the three children, everyone stopped and walked to a restaurant. The three were gathered around a small booth to look at toys. Daji glanced at them and led the carriage directly to the door of the restaurant. The carriage and horses were handed over to Xiao Er, and he said, "Feed the good fodder, and we'll pick it up when we come back to eat."

"Okay, don't worry, I will take care of you."

Daji just followed behind the three children without urging them to go to the bookstore.

The three of them walked around the streets of the county town as usual, and after buying some delicious food, they went to the bookstore with a smile.

Knowing that they were here to buy abacus, the bookstore shopkeeper narrowed his eyes and praised the three of them with a smile, "I didn't expect that the young master and the ladies could learn abacus so quickly."

He asked Xiao Er to take out two copies of all the quality abacus in the store for them to choose.

The cheapest, of course, is the wooden abacus. The prices of various wooden abacuses are also very different. The most expensive is a wooden abacus with a dark color and a few kilograms of black. When you touch it, it is smooth and solid, full of treasures. I couldn't help but dialed twice like Mr. Zhuang.

Slippery and smooth.

Man Bao asked, "How much is this?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "It's not expensive, five hundred wen."

Man Bao is speechless, is this not expensive?

No wonder Dad said that reading is not something that ordinary people can afford.

Man Bao's eyes fell on the other abacuses, and he dialed all the wooden abacus directly, and then selected two to ask, "How much are they?"

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "This three hundred, this two hundred."

He didn't explain why the prices were different, and Manbao didn't need to explain, and why, because they were different in themselves, and she could feel the difference now when she dialed it.

Man Bao hesitated for a while, but finally chose a wooden abacus with two hundred words, and then looked at Bai Shanbao.

Bai Shanbao was flipping a jade abacus, and asked the price. After learning that it was eight taels of silver, he put it aside, and then pointed to the black abacus that Manbao picked out just now, and said, "I want this."

Bai Erlang held a golden abacus, smiled and said, "I want this."

The shopkeeper's smile narrowed, "This one costs five taels."

The golden abacus in Bai Erlang's hand was not pure gold, but plated with copper.

In fact, there are also pure gold ones, but they need to be made on the spot. At least the shopkeeper is not so stupid to make such a thing and sell it in the store.

If it can't be sold, isn't it a waste of labor costs?

How good is this, the copper-plated abacus looks like real gold, it is good-looking and rich, and it is not expensive.

Only five taels of silver.

The three paid the money separately, and then asked Daji to take the wrapped abacus. Bai Erlang turned around and was about to go out, but Man Bao and Bai Shanbao went into the bookstore to look for books to read.

Now that they have all gone to the bookstore, of course, I have to find out if there are any new books that are good-looking recently.

Bai Erlang, who had all walked to the door, was angry when he saw that no one was following him, but he didn't dare to mumble aloud in the quiet bookstore, so he could only mumble: "Really, I've been looking for books all day long, and I have books at home. So many books, not enough to read?"
