C42 (1/2)
After Tian Yuqiao had Er Yuan purposely let Tian Da Hu and San Yu Ding go, the three of them followed the two little baldy and got an ox-cart from the village head to the town. Then, they hired a carriage from the town and went to the county town. Tian Yuqiao alighted from the taxi at the entrance of the county town. If the carriage was brought to the county magistrate's entrance, it would cost even more money. Tian Yuqiao could not bear to part with it.
When she paid the driver, Tian Yuqiao could not help but feel a little pained. Who would have thought that the carriage was only a single ride and that a single person would have to pay ten gold coins? This was enough for ten rounds of ox-carts.
When the two Yuan brothers saw how constipated Tian Yuqiao was when she paid, they could not help but laugh. They thought to themselves, ”Master really knows how to scheme, his advantages are not that easily taken away.” Look, how wonderful was the expression on her face when she let the little iron hen pluck the feathers from her body? Unfortunately, the old man would never see his master again. Sigh!
This was Yuan Tong's first time coming to a county city. Usually, because of his young age, his Master would send his Senior Brother to travel far away from home. At most, he would only visit the villages at the foot of the mountain.
This time when he finally came out, the little guy was like a little bird that had just come out of its cage. He had another special mission this time, and it was Yutang who had asked him to do it. The two kids had already agreed that Yutang would stay at home to accompany his mother. When Yuan Tong returned, they would tell him all the delicious things they had seen in the county town that were interesting.
This time, Yuan Tong was especially serious. Along the way, he felt that his eyes were insufficient. He saw everything around him and remembered it all.
Tian Yuqiao was also very curious about the city at this time, so she followed his gaze and acted like she was a curious baby.
He had been to this county city a few times, so he was quite familiar with the roads on both sides of the streets. Thus, he took out a broken bowl and began to change fate from one shop to another along the way.
He knew all the stores, and the shopkeeper was easy to talk to. Even if he saw a monk, he wouldn't rush outside, so he came back shamelessly.
Tian Yuqiao pulled Yuan Tong along and examined the shops and stalls on both sides of the street. The price in the county was quite high. It was only a small packet of dim sum, about two catties, but it was worth fifty gold coins.
Making snacks was much less troublesome than making Gold Sore Medicine. Right now, she had the menu that Master Hui Yuan had left behind in her hands. There were also quite a few ways to make snacks. Most likely, with Lady Wang's culinary skills, she would be able to do it.
Tian Yuqiao began to plan his future plans for making a fortune. Meanwhile, the lonely young monk had already melted a bowl of noodles along with a few pieces of tender green vegetables.
The two brothers were already a little hungry, so they squatted by the roadside and began to eat. Tian Yuqiao, on the other hand, was not used to eating other people's leftovers. Thus, she gritted her teeth and spent five cents to buy four steamed buns with stuffing and handed them to the two buns.
The two brothers shook their heads and said, ”Amitabha, Master once taught us monks are supposed to eat a hundred meals. You should keep the steamed buns for yourself.”
Seeing that the two disciples were unwilling to accept the steamed bun, Tian Yuqiao followed their example and started nibbling on the steamed bun by the side of the road. She only ate two, while the other two planned to bring them back to her brother and mother.
After he finished eating and drinking his fill, Yuan Ji even gave Tian Yuqiao two pieces of money, saying that it was from the owner of the grocery store.
”Hehe, since my master has asked you to help the temple build up, then in the future, all of the silver that our fellow apprentices have obtained will be handed over to you for safekeeping.” Yuan Ji said with a smile.
Tian Yuqiao rolled her eyes helplessly, thinking to herself that it seemed like she would definitely be the next head of the family. Sigh, being eaten by two young monks is really too unpleasant.
