Chapter 21 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey
After what happened to Qin Ruo, those women didn't dare to act like a demon again.
I curled up quietly in my seat, without even a word of conversation during the entire journey. This car ride was extremely painful.
As soon as they arrived in Datong Township, the women couldn't wait to grab their things and got off the car quickly, as if there was some terrifying beast behind them.
Suddenly, only Old Yang, the driver, Qin Ruo and her brother, and Zhou Dazhu were left in the car.
Qin Ruo took the opportunity to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, and his image as someone who is not easy to mess with has been established today.
"Qiuxi girl, you were too soft-tempered in the past. You did a good job today, so you can't indulge them."
Old Yang felt a little emotional. This girl's aura was a bit like Qin Huaizheng.
When Qin Huaizheng was still alive, he often took the original owner for a ride in the Yang family's donkey cart.
Whenever his family has any problems, Qin Huaizheng will take the initiative to lend a hand, and the relationship between the two families is pretty good.
Later, Qin Huaizheng encountered trouble in the back mountain, and Old Yang was speechless because of Old Lady Qin's behavior.
He wanted to protect the girl from the Qin family, but she had a soft personality.
I never dare to say a word when I am bullied. If I can protect someone once, can I protect them every time?
Old Yang was so disappointed with the guy that he could only give up and simply turn a blind eye to it.
Today's Qin Ruo made him look at her with new eyes.
"Uncle Yang, thank you for always protecting me. I was stupid and didn't know how to fight with others before, but I won't do that again in the future."
Qin Ruo spoke sincerely and picked out a pheasant from the basket and gave it to Lao Yang.
"Uncle Yang, take this pheasant back and eat it. It will pay for today's bus fare."
"No, no. This can be sold for dozens of coins. The fare is worth nothing. Don't give it."
Old Yang waved his hand heroically and told Qin Ruo to leave quickly.
"Take it. Who knows, I may have to trouble you often in the future, Uncle Yang." Qin Ruo handed over the pheasant again.
Old Yang refused a few more times, but seeing Qin Ruo's firm attitude, he did not insist and took the pheasant.
He looked at Qin Ruo and his group walking away, feeling deeply moved.
I thought that Qiuxi had changed so much. If Huaizheng were still here, he would be so happy.
After getting off the car, Qin Ruo took Qin Zimu and Zhou Dazhui to the market in Datong Township.
Datong Township is more like a modern town market. Today is market day and although the weather is very cold, there are still a lot of people.
Qin Ruo did not plan to stay in Datong Township for too long today, as he had to go to the county government office in Taihe County to collect his reward anyway.
The things in your hands can be sold at a higher price if you take them to Taihe County.
The time from Datong Township to Taihe County is not as long as that from Changhe Village to Datong Township, but the cost of travel is not low.
It only costs three cents to travel from Changhe Village to Datong Township, but it costs five cents per person to travel from Datong Township to Taihe County.
In the past, the original owner often followed Qin Huaizheng and often went in and out of Taihe County.
After Qin Huaizheng disappeared, the original owner was left alone when he went to Taihe County.
The wild animals she hunted were basically sent to fixed restaurants in Taihe County.
Sometimes he would stop by to give money and food to Qin Ziyan, who was studying at Luming Academy in Taihe County.
Later, due to some reasons, the original owner never went to Luming Academy again.
Therefore, the original body remembered clearly where to get to Taihe County and how much it cost to take the bus.
This actually saved Qin Ruo a lot of trouble.
Qin Zimu was very excited when he learned that he was going to Taihe County. He rarely had the opportunity to come to Datong Township, let alone go to Taihe County.
Zhou Dazhui had never been to Taihe County, but he really wanted to go and see it for himself.
But when he thought about the ten cents it would cost for a round trip, he had to give up. He was reluctant to spend the money.
Of course, Qin Ruo and her brother are penniless now, except for the wild animals in two baskets.
If you want to go to Taihe County, you need to collect some travel expenses first.
Qin Ruo was not in a hurry either. She asked Zhou Dazhui and Qin Zimu to wait for her there.
He picked up two pheasants and found an open space to sell them.
Wild animals are more difficult to hunt in winter than usual, and there are not many people selling wild animals in the entire market.
So it was bought not long after it was put on display.
Two pheasants weighing about three pounds were sold for a total of 180 cents.
During this dynasty, especially in the winter, pheasants were still quite popular among those who had extra money.
When Qin Ruo returned to the place with the copper coins from selling pheasants, he saw Zhou Dazhui and Qin Zimu standing in front of the backpack, staring at passers-by with a wary look on their faces.
Qin Ruo felt inexplicably funny and a little relieved.
I just casually said to them to watch their things, and the child acted as if facing a great enemy, afraid that someone would come to snatch it away.
Fortunately, the public security in Datong Township is not bad. If there really is something valuable, wouldn’t that be telling others clearly that I have a treasure here, come and grab it?
"Dazhu, Erlang. Let's have breakfast first, and then we'll go to Taihe County."
Qin Ruo smiled and walked forward to greet Qin Zimu and Zhou Dazhui.
Qin Zimu had already been dazzled by the various snacks nearby.
Especially when the fragrance wafts over, I feel even hungrier.
Zhou Dazhu had not had breakfast because he came out early, so he planned to buy two buns to fill his stomach.
The two men stood up, put on their backpacks, and followed Qin Ziruo forward.
When passing by the steamed bun stall, Zhou Dazhu saw that Qin Ruo did not stop. He wanted to ask a question but was too embarrassed to speak.
Qin Ruo led the two of them for a while and then stopped at a restaurant that looked cleaner.
"Shopkeeper, bring three bowls of pork and cabbage dumplings."
"Okay, please wait a moment, gentlemen."
The restaurant owner responded, turned around and went about making dumplings with a smile on his face.
"Sister Qiuxi, I, I don't eat dumplings, I can just go to the side and sell two buns."
This restaurant sells dumplings for ten cents a bowl. He had passed by this restaurant several times when he came to Datong Township, but he asked the price and was reluctant to eat there.
Zhou Dazhui felt his scalp tingling and waved his hands desperately.
"Sister, I, I don't want to eat either. I'll just eat the buns."
Qin Zimu was also shocked and quickly refused.
He was already very satisfied to be able to come to Datong Township and eat the buns.
These dumplings stuffed with pork and cabbage were too expensive, and he was reluctant to eat them.
He struggled to move his eyes away from the rows of neatly arranged dumplings on the stall.
"Just eat when I tell you to. Why are you talking so much? Do you think I can let you go hungry?" Qin Ruo frowned and pretended to be angry.
In modern times, Qin Zimu and Zhou Dazhui are just elementary school and junior high school students, and they can't hide their emotions at all.
Although he said he didn't want to eat, his eager and forbearing eyes betrayed his inner feelings.
Zhou Dazhui and Qin Zimu didn't dare to push anymore and sat down obediently.
"Our dumplings have thin skin and large fillings, and we use fresh pork. We are fair to everyone. Although ten cents is not cheap, it is definitely worth it."
“Since you are all strangers, I will give you two extra bowls for each meal as a thank you for your support of our store.
A quarter of an hour later, the noodle shop owner brought three bowls of hot dumplings and said enthusiastically.
Although Qin Ruo and his companions were dressed in shabby clothes, the shopkeeper did not look down on them for that.
As a businessman, what matters is harmony.
The shopkeeper had once been poor, so he knew too well what it felt like to be poor.
"Thank you, shopkeeper." Qin Ruo thanked him with a smile.
The shopkeeper was an insightful person. He spoke very cleverly and his eyes did not show any contempt for others.
The key is that he is of sufficient substance and is an honest person.
