Chapter 100 My aunt is so pitiful
There are so many magical things that people in Peach Blossom Village can’t even count them on their fingers.
This is similar to how people who have seen the world would exclaim in surprise just because there are a few wild ducks in a pond.
Except for infants and children under seven years old, everyone else has to pay a city fee of two cents per person.
Bai Qi is a thirteen-year-old girl. She has excellent arithmetic skills, can draw inferences from one instance, and is serious about her work. Therefore, Baitao named her to take charge of the money in Peach Blossom Village.
At this moment, accompanied by Bai Duojin and two villagers, she lined up at the city gate to pay the city entrance fee.
Facing the slightly surprised looks of the city gate guards and money collectors, Bai Duojin smiled and explained nicely: "This is our master's personal maid."
At this moment, the eyes of these people were different and extremely clear.
The humble servant before the master is naturally different from other people. Even a maid can still take care of money.
When he returned to the motorcade, Bai Duojiang was about to explain to Bai Qi that it was a temporary solution, but he saw that Bai Qi had already excitedly ran up to Baitao, and opened his mouth every time.
"Auntie, let me be your maidservant."
I heard Aunt Six say before that this rich family is surrounded by servants and attendants.
If she becomes her aunt's maid, she can follow her closely.
What a blessing this is.
When the time comes, my aunt can take her in and out, and everyone in the village will be envious of her.
I learned a lot by following my aunt, and listened to more interesting and meaningful stories.
Thinking of this, Bai Qi's face became more expectant, and his eyes shone brightly.
Baitao was lying at the window of the carriage staring at the crayfish crawling in the grass. She didn't hear clearly for a while, so she responded casually: "Okay."
"Can you enter the city?" There are so many!
She didn't even want to go into the city and just dive into the grass to catch crayfish, but seeing that it was getting dark and everyone needed a good rest after a long day's journey, she had to hold back.
"Okay." Bai Duojin followed, and was interrupted by Bai Qi just halfway through his words.
"Auntie, I just paid the money to go into the city, and we can go into the city now."
As she said that, she proudly raised her chin to Bai Duojin with a look on her face. "Auntie agrees. I am now your maidservant, and I am a personal servant!"
Bai Duojin: "..." This girl actually let her seize the opportunity.
Originally, there was no entry fee for entering the city in Qingzhou, but in the past two months, the insect infestation has spread, even on the roofs of farmers outside the city.
The city is better than outside the city. Many people are swarming into the city to hide. Only then did the Qingzhou government decide to charge a capitation fee for entering the city.
I saw a crayfish crawling onto the road with its pincers raised, and was kicked away mercilessly by the guards, who were yelling at each other. There were many remains of crayfish crushed to death on the ground of the city gate.
Baitao looked at it with a pity, this was meat, delicious meat.
It costs twelve coins per catty, which is more expensive than rice.
She is now eager to come as soon as possible the next day so that she can start catching crayfish.
Originally, Zhou Yang wanted his family to stay overnight near the city gate, so he took his eldest son into the city to buy the necessary things and then came out.
But after seeing so many bugs crawling around, he still reluctantly decided that it would be better for the whole family to go to the city, at least it would be safe.
And some people are really reluctant to part with those two cents. After all, they don’t know what will happen next. It’s better to save a little.
Seeing that although the bugs looked scary, they didn't hurt anyone. There were just too many of them and they looked uncomfortable and scary. So I immediately decided to deal with them near the city gate all night.
The guards guarding the city saw these people cleaning out bugs and wanted to spend the night near the city gate, but they didn't stop them. These bugs are so annoying, and now that someone is happy to clean them up, they naturally turn a blind eye.
Although crayfish are not as abundant in Qingzhou City as in the suburbs, there are still a lot of them.
It's just that the government will organize people to clean up once an hour, and each store will also clean up, so although you can see crayfish crawling on the streets from time to time, there will not be a situation where you can't get off your feet.
Because of this insect plague, not many caravans have come to Qingzhou since more than a month ago, so Taohua Village easily found an inn with a large yard.
More than 200 people occupied five large yards, and the pack trucks and horses could be properly accommodated.
Since everyone lives in the same village, everything is convenient.
"Quick, quick, unload the crayfish for me." As soon as the carriage stopped, Baitao immediately ordered excitedly before he even got off the carriage.
"Yes, grandma." Bai Qi responded quickly, then stepped forward and picked up a large bag.
She also drank the Dali Pill liquid, and now she is very strong. She can hit five or six ordinary men at one time.
"How happy, come quickly."
"Hey, grandma." Bai Duoxi ran forward quickly.
Baitao warned seriously: "Do as I say. Wash these little things with a brush, remove the heads, pick out the shrimp threads, and fry them with thirteen spices."
After hearing this, Bai Duoxi was stunned for a moment and widened her eyes: "Auntie, do you want to eat it?"
"That's right."
Bai Tao's round eyes were sparkling, and her milky voice could not hide the excitement: "Let me tell you, this crayfish is delicious."
"By the way, get me some garlic flavor."
"Also, also, make it spicy and use less chili pepper, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to get used to it."
Looking at Bai Tao who was swallowing his saliva as he spoke, Bai Duoxi couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.
Could it be that too much grain was sold before, and my aunt was afraid that she would have nothing to eat, so she started eating bugs? !
"Auntie, actually, we still have some food, you don't need it..." Bai Duoxi felt sour and her eyes instantly turned red.
Wow, my aunt hides everything and doesn't say anything. She would rather suffer herself than let others know about her difficulties.
It's all their fault for being so useless!
"Auntie, you really don't have to..."
"I don't want to eat." Baitao waved her little hand and interrupted him: "I just want to eat crayfish today."
God knows how excited she was after seeing the crayfish crawling around, and the mall was even more excited, beeping endlessly.
The villagers picked up several sacks for Baitao, and the mall had always wanted her to sell them.
If Baitao hadn't decided to take the villagers to try it, she wouldn't have resisted selling it.
Seeing that Bai Duoxi's eyes were red and she seemed a little sad, Baitao was a little confused: "What's wrong with you? Did sand get into your eyes or was it spicy from chili pepper?"
Bai Duoxi shook her head, so Baitao asked again: "Can I still cook?"
After all, spicy and spicy are both a bit eye-catching. If he can't do it, someone else will have to do it.
"Of course!" Bai Duoxi hurriedly wiped his eyes. Damn it, he still made his aunt worried at this time.
"That's good. Anyway, this is what I want to eat. If you don't want to eat it, then you can just cook something else."
