The harvest today was not bad. Bai Qianfan washed her feet and put on her shoes. She carried the bamboo rod in one hand and the bucket in the other.
A figure suddenly came out from a roadside restaurant. He waved and called out to her, "A Fan, wait."
Bai Qianfan stopped, and smiled mischievously, "Brother Fan, Miss Shi is calling you."
The Miss Shi was called Shi Yingying and the restaurant beside the road was opened by her family, there was a signboard with golden words written on it: Drunken Immortal Tavern.
Bai Qianfan felt that generally speaking, Drunken Immortal Tavern s were all of high quality. Shi Yingying's family's restaurant was also the biggest in town, with the highest quality, whoever held the wedding could invite wine in the Wine Immortal Restaurant, the host family would also have special face.
The business at Drunken Immortal Tavern was not bad. The little town was dependent on Su City, and many merchants traveled to and from the north. As they passed by, most of them would eat in Drunken Immortal Tavern.
Miss Shi loved to eat time cake made by Yue Xiang. Every time she saw him, she would buy a few.
Shi Yingying was petite, pouncing down like a butterfly. "A Fan, are you not selling biscuits today?"
There were only two things that Yue Xiang could do, corn cakes, pumpkin cakes, or potato pancakes. If they ate too much and everyone lost interest, it would be hard to do business. Therefore, Bai Qianfan now spent most of her time trying to catch loaches to sell them for money.
"Do you want to make potato pancakes tomorrow?"
"Yes, you prepare five for me." Shi Yingying smiled at her as she reached out to grab her purse. "I'll give you the money now."
"Don't," Bai Qianfan held her down, "It's still better if you pay with one hand and take the goods with the other. I'll deliver them to you tomorrow."
Shi Yingying looked at Bai Qianfan's hand pressing down on her own, a red cloud flew up on her face, and she said a little bashfully: "Alright, then you said tomorrow."
Joy who was at the side snickered while covering his mouth, "Miss Shi, do you like to eat Fan Le's bread that much? I want five, can I finish them all? "
Shi Yingying was especially annoyed with this kind of child that even dogs would hate. She glared and said, "None of your business, move aside."
Delighted, Niu Niu stood on the side gloating, "Yeah, it's none of your business!" She helped Bai Qianfan do business, "Miss Shi wants to buy mudfish huh.
Shi Yingying took a look at the loaches in the bucket that were squeezed densely together and let out a sigh, "There really are a lot of them, it just so happens that my house is lacking these, I want them all, it saves you the trouble of going to the market once more and weighing them."
Bai Qianfan happily exclaimed as she followed her into the tavern. She went to the kitchen to pour the loach into the basket and paid for the loach before putting it in her pocket. She smiled and bade farewell to Shi Yingying, before bringing the empty bucket with him.
As soon as she left, the innkeeper's face turned bitter, "Miss, what are you buying so many mudfish for? No one would order them at all. If you let them all go for a few days, they would all die."
Shi Yingying's gaze chased them far away, and only after Bai Qianfan's figure disappeared, did she turn her head back, "If no one orders, can't we eat by ourselves?"
The storekeeper muttered, "Then we can't eat that much. We can't just see the heavens eat it …" Seeing Shi Yingying staring at him, she did not dare continue, and shook her head to settle the score.
After the Loach she just caught was sold out, Bai Qianfan was overjoyed as she walked forward with big steps while humming a small tune.
Niu Niu's legs were too short, and she had to jog to keep up. She could not help but complain, "Brother Fan, go slower, I can't keep up."
Joy loved to argue with her: "Who asked you to be short? No one wants you in the future!"
Bai Qianfan slowed down her pace, "Alright, I'll walk slowly.
Niuniu pouted. "I don't want his back. I'm not his wife."
Bai Qianfan was suddenly startled, and the scene of Morong Gan carrying her suddenly appeared in her mind. At that time, she had ridiculed him as Zhu Bajie's wife, but he was not angry at all, saying with a smile that she was carrying a little pig, but she could not refute her, because she was a pig, and she herself would often make fun of this.
She was so happy then. She was taken care of so well by him. He frowned when he sneezed, but of course, he couldn't say it now. Self-reliance, plenty of food, just … Except for him.
"Brother Fan," Le Le winked at her, "I think Miss Shi has probably taken a fancy to you. When we met, she had a smile that was like a flower, she normally wouldn't be like that."
Bai Qianfan glanced at him, "What does a child know?
I'm not a child. I'm already eight years old. Do you think I can't tell? How can a girl stare at a man like that? I don't believe it when they say she's not interested in you. " Seeing that Bai Qianzhang was silent, he asked, "Brother Fan, if Miss Shi wants you to be her son-in-law, will you go?
"No," Bai Qianfan said, "My family still relies on me to support their family, how can I become the son-in-law of another family?"
"But Miss Shi has a very big family. If you become my son-in-law, you will be the owner of the Drunken Immortal Tavern in the future. You won't have to walk the streets and sell cakes, and you won't have to go catch mudfish in the creek."
Bai Qianfan laughed, "You don't understand then. I love to walk through streets and alleyways, love to catch loaches in the water, isn't that more fun than sitting at the counter?"
Joy thought about it and agreed, "That's true. It's good to be free outside. It's so boring to sit behind the counter."
After chatting for a while longer, when they reached home, Bai Qianfan took out some money from the treasury as soon as she entered: "My luck today was good, I sold it out halfway through the journey," With a wave of my hand, the copper coin fell onto the table with a clanging sound, "It's not bad for Tian'er to do this."
She had been silent for a long time, but Yue Xiang Yue Gui just sat there without showing any reaction. She was not surprised at all, "What's wrong?
Yue Xiang sighed, "I'm afraid it's going to be bad, today there are officials looking for me with your portrait, luckily Aunt Qian is here, I was blocked, at that time my heart was about to jump out of my chest, afraid that you would barge in, then it would really be over."
With a gloomy face, laurel said, "If it doesn't work, then we'll run."
"How?" Yue Xiang said: "Didn't you hear what your father said? "There are soldiers waiting outside. If they see a young lady, they will grab her. Your highness is prepared, we won't be able to run, and we won't even be able to run away."
When Bai Qianfan heard them talk about it, she first panicked, but later she calmed down, "What are you afraid of?
"Who knows," Yue Xiang said. "I keep feeling worried, it's dangerous to stay here, and I can't escape. I'm really worried to death."
Yue Guiyi thought about it for a while and said, "Let's wait and see for a few days. Isn't it supposed to be a fight? The army outside will be leaving sooner or later. We can leave when the time comes."
Yue Xiang looked at Bai Qianfan, "I am just anxiously waiting for you. In the next few days, don't go out, stay at home, I will go with Yue Gui to scout around."
Bai Qianfan paced back and forth in the house, her eyes suddenly lit up: "I've got it, let's dig a tunnel in the house, we can hide people, and we can even run away. Right, let's do it this way. Let's eat first.
Yue Xiang looked at her in surprise, then looked at her before shaking her head and smiling. Digging a tunnel, it was easier said than done.
