There is one sesame cake for each person. There are twelve children, which means twelve sesame cakes. Mu Run knows the price of sesame cakes on South Street, which is three cents each. Twelve is thirty cents.
It only costs ten pennies to hire a donkey cart and travel around the streets easily. Anyone who is not a fool knows which one is more cost-effective and which one is more disadvantageous.
Mu Run looked at these children, especially when they all looked pretty and their clothes were dirty and tattered, and the maternal tenderness in her heart began to overflow.
"What's your name?" Mu Run asked the little girl.
The little girl replied: "My name is Xiao Linlin."
"Xiao Linlin, what a cute name. Then, I want to go to the place where tea is sold. If you can lead the way, I will buy you sesame seeds, okay?"
Suddenly, the children jumped up happily and circled around Murun, leading her from the alley entrance to the boundary marked North Street.
Just after they left, two men who looked exactly the same and looked sneaky came out of a hidden corner.
One of them spat hard and said, "It was robbed by these diaper baggers again."
"The rules of South Street are that if you don't enter the boundaries of North Street, you can't do anything." Another said: "And this sheep came out of the Sanxiang Gang's shop. Who knows if it is from the Sanxiang Gang. Let's first
Keep an eye on it and make sure it's safe before taking action. Don't provoke those you can't provoke. The streets have been a bit chaotic these days, and ten of them were carried out this morning."
"Oh. By the way, brother, I just got news that there is a group of people from the south with several carts of things and they want to use the waterway. Do we want to go and have a look?"
"The south side? Okay."
The two people quickly disappeared into the alley again.
…
Xiji Teahouse is the largest tea shop on North Street. There is a live spring at the door. The clear spring water meanders along the underground waterway and finally flows into the Xiang River.
And the business of the tea shop is like this living spring, with money flowing in and people coming and going.
Mu Run stood outside the teahouse, faintly smelling the aroma of tea, and her heart moved.
Originally, when she came to North Street, she didn't know where she was going. Later, when Xiao Linlin asked her, she suddenly had the idea to come to the tea shop.
"There are other tea sellers, but Xiji Tea House is the largest on North Street. If big brother doesn't like it, we can go to other places to have a look." Xiao Linlin said to Mu Run.
Mu Run touched the braid on her little head and said with a gentle smile: "No, it's fine here. You are all hungry, right? Now that you have completed the task, shouldn't it be time to buy something delicious?"
"I want to eat sugar sesame cakes." A little boy said hurriedly.
"Okay. Who else wants to eat something sweet?" Mu Run asked.
Immediately, another child shouted: "Do you want anything sweet or salty?"
Mu Run nodded, "Okay."
There is a Shaobing shop not far from Xiji Teahouse.
Mu Run took the children over.
And just after they entered the sesame cake shop, several people came out of Xiji Tea House. They were chatting and laughing as if they were close friends, but their eyes seemed guarded.
Among these people, Mu Run knew two of them, Fu Yunchen and Liu Laoer.
There is also an elegant-looking, gentle and handsome man named Xi Gongyong, who is the owner of Xiji Teahouse.
Xi Gongyong cupped his hands to Fu Yunchen and said, "Then I'll see you off not far away. Master Fu has a good trip and will come for tea when you have time."
"Brother Xi Gong is very polite. When you pass by Bianyun Village, please send me a message in advance. Fu will be ten miles away to meet you."
“It’s a deal!”
After Fu Yunchen said goodbye to Xi Gongyong, he took Liu Laoer away.
Xi Gongyong looked at Fu Yunchen's back, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the attendant Tong Sheng who was following him: "Send a message to the brothers of the Xiangping Gang. The people of Bianyun Village are good at escorting you, so don't neglect it."
"Yes, boss. But when did Bian Yunzhai change its gang leader? He still looks like a flower girl."
"You just looked at his appearance, but do you know what's inside?"
What are you pretending to be? Tong Sheng really didn’t see anything special.
Seeing that his follower still didn't understand, Nishimong Yong patted his shoulder and said, "Don't mess with him."
That's a lonely evil ghost wearing the skin of a beauty!
"Who doesn't have a big chicken drumstick?" Mu Run held up a drumstick and looked at the children who were devouring it.
A boy in the most ragged clothes had already finished his portion. But he was still hungry and wanted to eat. He looked at the chicken drumsticks in Mu Run's hand with hopeful eyes and licked the grease stains left on the corners of his mouth.
Mu Run immediately handed him the chicken drumstick in his hand, "Eat it, you'll be full. My sister is treating me today."
"The girl is really kind-hearted." The proprietress of the braised meat shop said with a smile.
Mu Run smiled and said: "Every work is rewarded. They showed me the way, and I promised to buy them food. How much is the total?"
"A total of two hundred and twenty-five articles."
"Is two hundred and twenty essays okay?"
Mu Run imitated Hongmi and bargained. It would be good if he could pay it back, but if he didn't, it was just a matter of words.
"Sure, I'll give you a small thanks for the girl's kindness."
"Thank you, boss lady."
Mu Run reached for the money from his sleeve pocket...
Why?!
My pocket is empty!
But she just put it in after buying sesame seed cakes.
But after only a few steps, the money was lost?
"Girl?" The landlady saw her expression was different and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I lost my money." Mu Run smiled awkwardly.
The landlady looked at the group of children who were eating chicken drumsticks, and her face darkened, "Thieves have their morals. You are eating other people's food and stealing other people's food. Do you still have any morality?"
Who would have thought that those children would run away like swarms of swarms...
Mu Run understood that his money was stolen by these little gangsters.
"Don't run -" the boss's wife chased him out.
But the children had light legs and ran fast. As soon as the proprietress arrived at the door of the store, the group of children disappeared.
Fu Yunchen and Liu Laoer, who were not far away, turned around when they heard the noise.
"It's the Orphan Gang. These naughty kids steal things everywhere." Liu Laoer said.
Fu Yunchen looked indifferent, turned around and continued walking.
Mu Run took out a piece of silver from the purse hanging around her neck, "Forget it, boss lady, just treat them as a gift to eat a few more meals. This is the money for chicken drumsticks." Fortunately, she didn't put all the money in one place, otherwise she would be in trouble now.
Difficult to handle.
"The girl is kind-hearted. Alas! It's a pity that these are a group of unlucky children who do some sneaky things on North Street. The girl will stay away when she sees them in the future."
"Thank you, boss lady, I understand."
The landlady took the broken silver and weighed it, "It weighs six cents. Girl, wait for me to give you the money."
"Wait a minute, give me a pound of braised beef and cut it into thin slices. I also have a roast duck and help chop it up."
"good."
After buying braised beef and roast duck, Mu Run went to the sesame cake shop just now and bought twenty sesame cakes and a pound of pickles, which he put into a backpack for dry food.
