Chapter 35: The Stranger Who Helps
And she collects two copper coins for a large collection here, so this person makes a lot of money, so the people in this town have a very bad sense of her.
However, this person looked at Mu Lan on the other side and the children were a little helpless, Mu Lan The eldest among them, Mu Shoude, was only fifteen years old, still a half-old child, and there were obviously no adults in the main town in this stall, she had to be careful if she wanted to be angry.
If she did something for these children, she would not be burdened, but now that there were so many people in the morning market, she still didn't dare to trigger the anger of the public, after all, she also guessed that this matter was caused by her own son, and if she really went too far, her brother would not be able to keep her position as a manager, which she still knew.
So the scene was deadlocked again, because the woman felt that she was unwilling to let go of these little ghosts, although she could still clean it up today, but looking at her youngest son's panda eyes, the woman felt that she couldn't swallow this breath.
But even after the stalemate, the woman's mouth couldn't stop, and the onlookers finally knew where the young man's scolding skills came from.
Finally, when the atmosphere at the scene was getting worse and worse, someone finally came forward, it was a low-key man in his forties and fifties, this person looked nothing special, if you ignore the bright red scar on his right cheek of more than an inch, Mu Lan's eyes darkened when he saw this person appear, not for anything else, just because this person had been paying attention to their stall not long after they came to the morning market, and that person's eyes inexplicably made people feel weird, as if they were looking at some rare treasure.
As soon as this person appeared, the woman who had been shouting just now stopped abruptly as if someone had choked her neck, and the scene fell into an eerie silence.
The onlookers were still wondering what had happened to quiet the arrogant morning market manager, and only Mu Lan noticed that fine beads of sweat suddenly appeared on the woman's forehead for some reason.
She's scared! Mu Lan's conclusion.
That's right, this woman was really scared, because she saw someone who would give a big salute even if her brother saw it. This man was the highest-ranking prefect who had recently arrived in the county and was said to have come with a military mission.
That's right, this person is Captain Honggang, the person in charge of collecting grain in this county.
"Why, is it time to unite to bully the little ones?" This person's voice didn't sound anything special, and what he said was like an ordinary hug, if Mu Lan hadn't noticed this person before, maybe she would have thought the same.
But who is this man? It seems that this matter needs to be discussed with the uncle! As for why he consulted with the Shen family instead of going to Mu Yi, this, his own father is really not helpful sometimes! Or grandma has prestige. Grip the claw.
Seeing that this person was Mu Lan and they came out, the woman's pupils shrank, and then forced out some smiles, although others thought that it might be better for her not to laugh.
"Haha, too! Didn't I see someone hurt and get anxious, and I didn't choose what to say! Besides, how can I deal with a few children! The woman's watch looked at the onlookers with a moment of confusion.
Hearing the woman say this, the scarred man didn't say anything, and simply left.
Seeing this person leaving, the woman glared at Mu Lan fiercely and left, and the onlookers gradually dispersed when they saw that there was nothing to look at.
Mu Shoude and a few of them also looked at each other: What's going on? But their questions are answered by no one. But to put it simply, it's good that the matter is solved, in Mu Lan's cognition, there is a tall one on top of the sky falling, and she can't be smashed anyway. And then there is the appearance of looking at people, it is obvious that it is friend and foe, and there should, maybe, probably there will be no problem.
However, the mood of several people is not good when they meet such a thing, but fortunately, there are only a few left that have not been sold, and in general they still make a lot of money. After a few people hurriedly packed up, they decided to go to the morning market on the other side next time.
After all, that woman is not alone in the market, there are three market managers, and they are not monolithic.
Besides, the probability of this kind of superb thing appearing is extremely low, and it can be said that Mu Lan and they can meet it once can be said to be 'lucky'.
On the way back, a few people quickly forgot about this unpleasant incident, although a small part of it was not sold in the end because of other people's troubles, but even if only the part of the sale was counted, the income was enough for them to smile.
After removing the rest (don't ask where the rest went) and the ones that were given away in the middle, Mu Lan sold a total of 106 shrimp dumplings and 60 shrimp thick egg burners, with a total income of 309 copper coins, and after removing the cost of raw materials, a few people almost earned more than 120 copper coins this time!
Seeing the real income, everyone was very happy, but happy and sad, Mu Cheng suddenly weakly mentioned: "There is not much flour at home, and there are almost no eggs, let's not buy it?" ”
Hearing Mu Cheng's question, everyone began to stare widely, and Mu Shoucai wailed: "Ah Cheng, can this kind of thing be brought up earlier next time!" We've walked almost a third of the way, okay, we're going back again! No, I don't want to go there again today, I hate that fat woman, no, I, I've got a sickness that can't go to town twice a day! Please let it go! ”
Mu Shoucai's exaggerated performance got a stir-fried chestnut from Mu Shoude, the voice was crisp, and Mu Lan felt sorry for him, but looking at his miserable appearance, several people couldn't help laughing.
Or Mu Yuan proposed that there was just time, he and Mu Shoude went back to purchase, Mu Ye and Mu Shoucai went to prepare another part of the raw shrimp, as for Mu Lan and Mu Cheng, the two of them were too tired, so they went back to rest first to report the results and take out to prepare lunch.
As for the money earned today, put it together as the capital first, and then divide it with everyone after this is over. Everyone had no opinion on Mu Yuan's arrangement, and they dispersed according to their own tasks.
When Mu Lan Mu Cheng returned home, he found that some people were busy at home, and after taking a closer look, he was completely separating the east courtyard from the old courtyard. see
Seeing the two girls, one of them said, "I also said why I didn't hand you over today!" What about your brother? Why don't I stay with you? "The person who asked was Mu Xin'an, the youngest grandson of the clan elder who came yesterday, who specialized in building houses for people, and Mu Cheng was no stranger to him.
Mu Cheng was about to answer. was preempted by Mu Lan.
"Uncle An, brothers, go to the river to catch shrimp and add food to you! My sister and I were afraid of the heat, so we came back first! But uncle, you have knocked on this door now, where are we going to get out next! ”
Don't blame Mu Lan for stealing the words, it's Mu Li who is worried that Mu Cheng will tell the truth, and Mu Cheng is really ready to tell the truth. Although this is not a big deal, it is better to have fewer people, and those people from far away in the province come to make trouble, which is too annoying.
As for being seen in the town later, that's a matter of later, and we'll talk about it later.
