Pingping also touched his chest, and his face suddenly changed.
They felt their whole body up and down, and even the bag turned over.
"It's over. It's just those people!" Pingping recalled that he had just been scattered by the crowd and hit twice. Maybe it was at that time that their money was taken away.
Ann's face is white. That's all they have!
"Go and have a look!" They turned and rushed into the crowd.
"Well This... " Leaving the vendor in place.
Ping Ping'an was crazy. They ran back to their original place and had a look. There was no sign of those people at all. They specially asked the vendors and the people around them, saying that they had never seen or knew each other.
They walked a little further in the direction of the person who hit them, until they came to the end of the street and came to a fork in the road.
They have just stayed in front of the bean stall for such a long time. The people who stole their money must have been gone for a long time. How could they stay in the same place and wait for them to find them.
"It must have been the men dressed as servants who stole it. They hit us!"
"But we don't know who they are or whose servants they are!"
Two people scolded a few words, dejected went to the street, a butt sitting on the steps, eyes red.
After a while, Ann sniffed and asked, "what should we do now?"
Flat low head: "I don't know."
The blow of the stolen money is too big. Up to now, the two people's minds are still buzzing. For a moment, they are frustrated and angry. They have no spare time to think about other things.
An'an said dejectedly, "how can we explain to master?"
Master certainly won't scold them, but when something like this happens, they will be able to shame themselves to death. It's useless!
"Pa!" Pingping slapped himself suddenly, and the sound startled Ann and the passers-by.
"What are you doing?" Ann stares at him.
"It's OK. Slap yourself to wake up."
Ann looked at him and hesitated to comfort him: "don't do this, or Shall we go to find Shigong? Secretly borrow some money from Shigong... "
Now they are not at the end of their tether, and they are not helpless here.
Even if they don't have money, they still have houses to live in, so they won't live on the streets.
Pingping was silent for a while. After slapping himself, he quickly calmed down: "don't worry. Let's see how much money has been stolen."
They were worried about what to do if the money was lost or stolen, but they didn't expect that they would be stolen at the same time.
Ann took out three Wen: "there are twenty-six Liang in my purse."
Pingping took out two Wen: "I have thirty Liang."
Fifty six taels of silver were stolen, and my heart ached.
Ping Ping thought of something and said, "I remember you hid ten taels of silver in the wardrobe the day before yesterday, didn't you?"
Ann nodded: "yes, it's put together with the lease, but ten Liang silver is not enough to buy food."
Pingping was relieved: "great! Ten Liang silver is enough. Let's go home first. "
An an: "ah?"
They ran home and took out the remaining ten taels of silver from the cupboard.
Now it's stupid for them to run to the bank in the morning and take out all the rest of the money, but now is not the time to be upset.
An an said, "you know, we still have a lot of things to buy. We haven't paid for the oven, the signboard, the cover and the wood carving. These are more than ten Liang silver."
After calming down, he took a pen and paper from his desk and wrote down the bill.
"We have paid a deposit for the oven, signboard, cover and woodcarving. The rest of the money will add up to 15 Liang silver. But they said that it will take at least half a month for signboard, cover and woodcarving. We have half a month."
Ping Ping finished, an an nodded: "the master in the shop will be finished tomorrow."
Pingping: "let's settle their wages first, so that our shop can be used."
Ann: "but we don't have tools."
Pingping: "who said no."
He looked in the direction of the main courtyard. "Master has a small kitchen here, which has everything in it."
An an's eyes were wide open, and her expression was like surprise or joy: "do you want to..."
Pingping: "borrow it for a period of time, and pay it back when we earn enough money to buy the mold."
An an
Pingping: "anyway, it's also a way to eat ashes, and now there is no carpenter in the city who can do carpentry for us. Don't you want to open the shop early?"
Ann: "OK."
When they went to the main courtyard, they walked softly. They were in their own home, and there was no one at home, but they had a guilty conscience.
Although there is some ash in the small kitchen, everything is intact.Big long table, pastry plate, porcelain plate, more than ten kinds of molds, knives, rolling pins There are more than ten pieces in total. These are all prepared by Master Li for him. When he left, he didn't take them away, so he put them here.
It's just a bargain for the two of them.
Ann sighed: "let's just move the whole kitchenette. We don't need to buy anything more."
Pingping: "I have to buy paper bags, but this one is easy." Although it doesn't cost much money, it still has to be included in the account. Now they even have a dime.
They worked out what they needed to buy in the kitchen.
"There's only firewood, rice, oil and salt left. We didn't buy much last time. We consumed a lot of firewood and charcoal to make cakes. We still have to buy some more."
"Well, take the candles and oil lamps here first. There's still a bunch of candles in the kitchen. It's enough for us to use for half a month."
"Take the big kitchen pots and buckets for washing food materials, and return them later."
All the things they need, except for food, are on this side of the house.
There was a quiet moment.
"Go back to the shop. When the masters are ready, we'll buy the shop quickly."
"Take one day to set up and another day to prepare cakes." Pingping calculated the opening day, "go, let's go to the stall and turn over the Yellow calendar."
Suitable opening days are everywhere, and six days later is a good day.
Then, instead of wandering outside, he went directly to the shop and watched. The next day, when the master finished the work and checked that there was no problem, he settled his wages smoothly.
The two masters also took good care of them and said they would go to them if they had any problems with it.
Ping'an thanks the two masters, picks up the rag to clean the shop and kitchen, and then starts to prepare to move the things in the house.
Those things are too heavy for two people to carry by hand.
