Li Changhai is nine years old this year, and he is the youngest son of Li Yuanwai's family who lives in the town. Li Yuanwai is already nearly sixty years old this year, although there are several concubines and aunts in the family, but only the wife of the main room gave birth to three sons for him, the eldest in his forties went to the county seat to do business, the second took over the business of the grain store in the town, and Li Changhai, the old man who had a son, took on all the expectations of Li Yuanwai.

What to expect? Naturally, he can get an official with the title of the gold list. For this reason, Li Changhai began to enlighten when he was three years old, he was locked in the study and studied the Four Books and Five Classics hard, if it weren't for a mother who hurt him to the bone, Li Changhai would not have such a round figure, and he might not be able to thin into a bamboo pole.

On weekdays, Li Changhai would study in the town academy just like other motivated children, but the two masters of the academy would go to the mayor's house on the day of the market to assist the lieutenant chief to record the changes in the household registration population of Shili and Eight Villages, so the academy would take a day off. Other students can rest at home or play on the street, but what awaits Li Changhai is the great Confucian who his eldest brother hired home from the county town to teach all day.

When a teenager hears the excitement outside, who can sit comfortably at home? Li Changhai had an appointment with two partners in the academy today, and it took the boss's effort to escape from the study, and he went out of the backyard in a secret way, and happened to see the scene of two children passing by cooperating to beat leaves.

The thing looked ugly and simple, but Li Changhai was sensitive to the fact that the strength of the thing was not bad, and it was overkill to beat the leaves or something; I thought that it would be enough for two country children to coax and deceive with a few words, but who knew that there would be a not simple backstage behind this.

Yun Ying blocked the backyard door and didn't let her close, seeing that she really wanted to scream, Li Changhai was so anxious that he took out the money bag, for fear that Yun Ying would really shout loudly if he was a step late, and opened the mouth of the money bag and motioned Yun Ying to look at the white silver bun inside: "Ugly eight monsters, do you know what this is?" ”

Yun Ying didn't nod or shake her head, turned around and leaned against the door frame, signaled Yuangen to hand over the strip gun in his hand to him, put on a "bullet", and "fired" it at a fresh leaf on the opposite side of the alley.

Li Changhai stared at this scene with bright eyes, turned his head to look at the striped gun in Yun Ying's hand, and stretched out his hand: "Show me!" ”

Yun Ying took it with his hand: "Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other." "The structure of this strip gun is very simple, and there is a high failure rate when it is used, Yuangen has been playing for a long time, and she is familiar with the structure, so that she can do it without fail, if it is easily handed over to Li Changhai, she is terrible and regrets it after trying it.

Li Changhai has never had any concept of money, anyway, he has no money and stretches out his hand at his father, eldest brother, and second brother; Immediately flipped the money bag, thinking that he would invite his classmates to drink tea and play later, so he only took two ingots of silver and spread them in his hand: "Is this enough!" ”

"Young Master......" The little guy who was called a monkey couldn't help but be anxious when he saw the two dimes of silver that Li Changhai took out, so there must be at least two or three taels of silver in total, and he could buy a lot of things on the street.

Yun Ying saw the monkey's potential lines, reached out and grabbed the silver while the monkey had not yet spoken, and put the strip gun in his other hand together with the bamboo bullet in the palm of his white fat hand, and hurriedly said: "It's cheap, this is the only strip gun so far." ”

"Sixth sister." Yuangen watched with a blank eye as the strip gun that he had been playing for a long time without edges and corners was being studied by Li Changhai in his hand, and his mouth couldn't help but flatten.

"Go back and make a slingshot and a water gun for you." Yun Ying pinched the silver horn in her palm with one hand, after all these days, she had figured out how the silver money in this place was converted. A penny is like a dollar in her previous life, and a thousand pennies are equivalent to a tael of silver. A penny can buy a pound of brown rice, and these two silver horns are at least two taels, how much brown rice can be bought! Thinking of this, her voice trembled a little.

"Slingshots, water guns? Is it fun to have a strip gun? Engen was distracted curiously and led Man'er to follow Yunying's footsteps.

"yes, ugly, what is a slingshot? What is a water gun again? And this, is it called a strip gun? Unexpectedly, Li Changhai, who had a strip gun in his hand, also followed the three Yunying sisters and brothers a few steps in the same step.

Ugly? Yun Ying was stunned, thinking of her current big pie face and the scars on the tail of her eyebrows, her eyes darkened. But who wants to be called ugly so blatantly after the silver and goods are gone; Yun Ying couldn't help but turn around and say, "You don't look in the mirror, you laugh in fifty steps and take a hundred steps!" Oops, your door hasn't been closed yet. ”

She deliberately shouted loudly at this sentence, Li Changhai didn't know if it was an illusion or something else, there seemed to be a figure shaking at the open back door, and she was so frightened that she hurriedly urged the little girl, "Monkey, hurry up and close the door, don't let the old man see us." The man also ran to the door, ran two steps, and suddenly remembered something, and then turned back and asked, "What is '50 steps and 100 steps'?" ”

Yun Ying took advantage of the fact that the master and servant turned around and closed the door, and without saying a word, she quickly took Yuangen and Man'er around the corner and ran towards the street out of the town.

There are many restaurants and tea shops of different sizes along the way, which are not as expensive as the street just now, but they are more orderly than the Nanshi side, and it seems to be the place where the middle reaches of the town go.

Aunt Luo and Qiao Qi's "Zhenweiju" is on this street, and at this time, there are tables at the door of Zhenweiju, and there are several drawers of steamers next to them, and the steaming appearance is mouth-watering.

But Yuangen and Man'er were in no mood to pay attention to this side at all, the two of them were still heartbroken for the sliver gun that was taken away, and they were not interested in the slingshot and water gun in Yun Ying's mouth; As a last resort, Yun Ying had to repeatedly promise to directly teach Yuangen to make a strip gun after he went back, which made the two little ones laugh.

"Steamed buns, hot meat buns only cost a penny." The shopkeeper at the door of Zhenwei Ju shouted at the right time, Yun Ying touched the two coins of Gu Banniang in his arms, and unexpectedly touched the hardness of the silver's hand, and at the moment he was relieved, he straightened his chest and led his younger siblings forward, and asked arrogantly:

"Give me two buns!"

"Okay." The clever little second brother responded, took the oil paper cut on the side and filled Yun Ying with two meat buns the size of an adult's fist, and kindly added: "This bun is sold cheaply, it's not a matter of cutting corners, it's just that our bun stuffing is made from clean leftovers in the building every day." ”

No wonder! Yun Ying really felt that the buns in Zhenweiju were bigger and cheaper than the buns I saw in the market just now; Moreover, a good two-story restaurant will set up a street stall to sell steamed buns at all, and the problem of daring is here.

But she doesn't think that people are deceiving consumers like this, and the shopkeeper also regretted not buying it after explaining it like this, and the shopkeeper didn't also return the money and apologized with a smile!

Seeing that Yun Ying took the bun and didn't leave for a while, the shopkeeper stretched out his hand and pointed to the clean and elegant lobby behind him: "Little girl, if you don't hurry up, you can go in and sit and eat, and you can use the tea at the door without money." ”

Yes, just for the sake of other people's services, Yun Ying can guess that Zhenweiju's business must be good, and the taste of this bun must not be too bad.
