After walking out of Juweixuan, Luo Fengtang couldn't help but ask Yang Ruoqing, "Qing'er, I just heard you calculate the account. We bought the dog to the restaurant and really lost money. Why not skin it and sell it in the tile market?"

Yang Ruoqing knew he would ask this.

"Hey, you think I want to come to the restaurant to do this loss-making business? If I really want to send him to Wa City, I will definitely alert Butcher Chen."

By then, won’t the dog stealing thing be exposed?

"Three hundred is just three hundred. You can buy a lot of things. Anyway, we just got the money for nothing," she added.

Luo Fengtang nodded in agreement and followed Yang Ruoqing forward.

In a quiet corner of the alley, Yang Ruoqing gave Luo Fengtang one hundred and fifty cents.

"Qing'er, I don't want what you gave me the money for." He frowned and stuffed the money back.

Yang Ruoqing deliberately made a serious face and said, "What do you mean? Look at Mr. Qian, he's not that rare."

Luo Fengtang shook his head repeatedly, his face turned red, "No, no, how could I possibly"

Yang Ruoqing smiled, "I'm teasing you, look at how anxious you are."

She put the one hundred and fifty cents back into his hand, "Tangyaozi, you must take this money. You deserve it, because that dog is the result of our joint efforts."

Luo Fengtang looked at the heavy copper coins in his hand, then looked up at the bright eyes of the girl in front of him, and pursed his lips.

"Qing'er, I didn't do anything, I just used a little brute force."

He said muffledly.

When the dog is caught, she is the one who catches it.

She was also the one doing the business negotiation and bargaining with the restaurant people.

He was just following her like a wooden stake.

It would be a shame to hold this money.

The boy opened his mouth and was about to speak out when his shoulder was held down by the girl's hand.

Yang Ruoqing suddenly smiled when she looked at Luo Fengtang's tangled and ashamed expression.

As if she could see through his mind, she said in a clear voice, "Tangyazi, don't have those silly thoughts anymore. If you weren't here, how would I have gotten the black tiger in these thirty miles?"

"If it weren't for you following me and supporting me, I would have been bullied by Song Caibao and those people."

"So, we are teammates, we just have different division of labor. We are all contributing. So, we have to share the results equally. If you insist not to, then I will be really sad."

"I want it, I want it, Qing'er, don't be sad," Luo Fengtang said hurriedly.

Seeing that he finally accepted it, Yang Ruoqing nodded with satisfaction.

"Just accept it, Tang Yazi. It's getting colder and colder this year, and it's hard to find wild beasts in the mountains. Why don't you just come and make tofu with us, and we'll share the money we make, how about it?"

"Making tofu" Luo Fengtang was surprised and happy at the same time.

"But, I don't know what to do." He scratched his head and said with an embarrassed look on his face.

"It's okay, I can do it as long as I can do it. You know, my father's legs are not good and he can't do hard work. This tofu can't be transported to the town. If you can join, that would be great. You said

Woolen cloth"

"Yes, I'm happy." Luo Fengtang nodded vigorously.

For the third time, he took out the one hundred and fifty coins in his pocket and gave it to Yang Ruoqing with a very firm attitude.

"Qing'er, take this money and buy soybeans or something. We can't make tofu from scratch."

Yang Ruoqing looked at the money in her hand and couldn't laugh or cry.

"How about this? I'll charge you one hundred cents, which will be regarded as your investment fee. You can keep the remaining fifty cents for yourself, that's it."

"Okay." Luo Fengtang finally put the ten cents into his pocket.

"Qing'er, what should we do next?"

Yang Ruoqing clapped her hands and said happily, "Our dog has been sold and the tofu business has been settled. Next, let's go to Wa City to see if we can buy some Huang Douzi at a low price to make tofu."

"okay"

Luo Fengtang leaned over and picked up the empty bucket at his feet, and the two of them walked toward Wa City while talking and laughing.

At the entrance to Wa Market, there was a salesman's load parked, and many women and girls were surrounding it.

"I'll go take a look at what's for sale."

Yang Ruoqing raised her feet and ran towards that direction.

At first glance, it turned out that they were here to buy needlework, red headbands and flowers that the girls wore.

It is a woman's nature to love beauty, and Yang Ruoqing is no exception. At that moment, her eyes lit up.

I squeezed into the crowd and took a look.

She was used to the dazzling hair accessories in modern society, but this was the first time she saw the silk flowers of ancient women who just finished their work.

The person who tied the flowers really has a pair of skillful hands.

These colorful flowers look just like real ones

Some look like azaleas, some look like chrysanthemums, and some look like camellias.

Depending on the woman's age and family background, the colors and patterns of the materials used are also different.

Yang Ruoqing fell in love with a pink camellia at first sight.

So I asked the salesman, "How do you sell this camellia?"

"Four cents a flower," said the salesman.

Yang Ruoqing stuck out her tongue secretly.

“It’s cheaper”

"Little girl, those flowers are tied with silk yarn, so they are not cheap," the salesman said.

Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips, just a little bit of gauze material as big as the palm of her hand.

Not cost-effective

Putting down the silk flower in her hand, she picked up a head flower next to her that had a color and pattern similar to blue and white porcelain.

Gently stroke the surface of the head flower with your fingers, it is smooth, delicate, soft and moist.

It should be tied with silk.

This flower is simple, elegant, and very suitable for a mother to wear.

Yang Ruoqing then asked the salesman, "How do you sell these flowers?"

The salesman said, "The flowers are made of silk and satin, and you get six cents for each flower."

"How come each one is more expensive than the other?" A woman next to her smacked her tongue.

The salesman said, "These silk flowers all came from Yicheng Prefecture. It is said that these flowers came from Yicheng Prefecture and Wangjiang County Government Office from the palace, as well as from Susongqian in this area."

All the ladies in Shan County are now wearing flowers like this."

Yang Ruoqing smiled and said, "It doesn't matter how many people are wearing it. You only get four or six cents for your mouth. It's too expensive. It's cheaper. For seven cents, I want two."

The salesman couldn't laugh or cry, and shook his head repeatedly, "Little girl, these flowers are priced at such a price. If you put them in the prefecture or county town, two flowers would cost more than ten cents."

"In the area between the government office and the county seat, if a signboard falls, it can kill two landlords, Lao Cai. This is Qingshui Town, in the countryside. A pound of pork costs more than ten cents, and the whole family can make a tooth sacrifice."

Yang Ruoqing put the pair of camellias back.

The salesman rolled his eyes and said, "Little girl, if you really want it, how about I give you a penny?"

Yang Ruoqing shook her head, said nothing more, turned around and walked out of the crowd without any regrets.

nine cents

I bought nine thin-skinned meat buns with lots of stuffing for my two brothers. They were so full that they burped.
