Xiao Yuqi stretched out his clenched fist, and inside it was actually a golden melon seed that had been transferred from the collection.

In Ding Wuliu's open palm, he released his little fist with a snap, Xiao Yuqi jumped out with the jar, leaving a sentence in the wind, "This is the reward.", and then jumped away.

Already...

remuneration?

Ding Wuliu was still amused that the little girl ran too fast and her legs and feet were too sluggish. When he lowered his head and saw the shining golden thing in his hand, his heart trembled violently...

This is? This is golden melon seeds!

After looking at the portion, I found it was about three yuan.

Nowadays, one thousand penny will get one tael of silver, but ten taels of silver may not necessarily get one tael of gold, because gold can be exchanged for one tael of silver to get about eleven to twelve taels. After all, gold is scarce.

In ordinary people's homes, not to mention gold, even silver is rarely seen. Everyone uses it either to exchange things for things or to trade with large sums of money.

Just like his unscrupulous master, no matter how talented he is, he can at least save some money at home, but he cannot have gold because it is too scarce.

As for the fact that he knew gold, it was only because he had seen noble people giving rewards to the big shopkeeper a few times, and he had been watching them for a long time.

If you exchange this golden melon seed in your hand for silver, with good luck, you can get almost six or seven taels of silver.

You know, the monthly salary of a county magistrate is no more than forty taels of silver.

The salary he received from his master every month was astronomical, and including the occasional reward, it was only a hundred copper coins. The golden melon seeds in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand catties. How many years could he earn without eating or drinking?

Subconsciously, Ding Wuliu grabbed the golden melon seeds and chased out the door. However, after a few quick steps, his pace gradually slowed down.

If you don’t return the golden melon seeds in your hand to your little sister, then your mother-in-law will have money to buy medicine to save her life, and you won’t have to beg an unscrupulous master, your father who was born early, and you won’t have to take your younger siblings with you.

Every day I went to my relatives and friends to raise money.

With the golden melon seeds in hand, the younger brother can live for less than a hundred days, and even his mother's illness can be completely cured.

It is equivalent to saying that this golden melon seed can save the lives of my family!

When he thought of this, the idea of ​​returning the golden melon seeds that he had just aroused immediately stopped, and Ding Wuliu felt very conflicted.

What should I do? The little girl just now seemed to be having a hard time. Logically speaking, he couldn't do such an unconscionable thing, but that stall at home...

Just when Ding Wuliu was hesitant and fighting between heaven and man, the voice of the master came from behind and scolded, "Ding Wuliu, you bastard, I asked you to watch the stove steaming steamed buns and making cakes, you will die."

Go pull it?".

The sound went from far to near. Finally, Ding Wuliu clenched his fist tightly and felt the golden melon seed weighing a thousand pounds in his hand. He said apologetically toward the direction where the prisoners were being held and said sorry.

As he walked back, Ding Wuliu was still thinking that when everything was fine at night, he would go back quickly at night and send the gold home to save lives.

After Xiao Yuqi walked out of the small kitchen carrying a jar of minced noodles, she found a secluded corner to make a nest. She took half a chicken from the collection and threw it into a seven-quarter-full jar. She thought about the yellow and bright chicken soup with the chicken soaked in it.

, I simply took it out and poured some into the hot pot.

This is just right, and it can add some oil and water to the bland noodles.

Anyway, I made a fortune that day in all the kitchens in my house, and I had a complete collection of such finished food.

After all, a big kitchen is in charge of the food of the entire mansion, and it happens to be meal time when you are gathering it yourself, so don't have too much food.

Carrying the nine-percent-full clay pot, Xiao Yuqi closed the lid with a smile, and finally walked back with satisfaction.

She was delayed for a long time when she came out. If she didn't go back, her mother, father and brothers would definitely be anxious.

But before going back, she had to do something.

The door of the house was tightly closed, and although any government official could open it for her, she calculated it over and over in her mind. In the end, she decided that it would be better to ask the pig-eared government official to open the door for her.

After all, if someone can give me pig ears, it shows that they are not bad at heart.

When Xiao Yuqi came to find him, Fang Zhonghe, the Xinshan Yamen official, was washing his hands and face with water and preparing to go to the lobby in front of the inn to eat with his brothers.

Seeing the little girl walking to the door of the room, staring at him with bright eyes, Fang Zhonghe was amused. He walked up and rubbed the little girl's head and asked, "The little girl has run away enough. Do you want to go back?".

Fang Zhonghe looked at the clay pot held by the little girl in front of him and smelled the fragrance emanating from it, but in his heart he praised the child in front of him. He was a filial and sensible person.

At such a young age, when faced with a big disaster, he still went out to look for food and went back to take care of his family in such a considerate manner. He was a very good child.

For such a good boy, Fang Zhonghe felt paternally when he thought of his own children.

Therefore, Fang Zhonghe liked the little kid in front of him even more, and his heart softened a little.

"Ang, Uncle Fang, are you free? I have to go back, please open the door for me." Xiao Yuqi replied without any hesitation.

When Fang Zhonghe heard the other party calling out his last name, he felt even more proud that the child had eyesight, it was really good.

That kind look in his eyes made Xiao Yuqi feel embarrassed.

Actually, these are not my own merits.

She didn't know Uncle Pig Ear's last name before, but after paying more attention to the results while rushing all day long, she indirectly knew the other person's name. She even summarized and analyzed the information about the other person through Shiniang, the God of Ear Reports, who overheard it.

family situation.

By the way, it turns out that Shiniang and Suyun can not only be used as jammers and refrigerators, but also have the function of listening and monitoring. There is no need to provide them with energy themselves. Hahaha, it is really easy to use and affordable.

Let's stop this question and just talk about the moment. Fang Zhonghe looked at the little girl who didn't know him at all. He laughed and didn't rush to eat. Instead, he found the yamen who was on duty to lock the door today and asked her.

After asking for the key and sending the other party away, he smiled and helped the little girl carry the heavy clay pot, holding Xiao Yuqi's little paw with his other hand and leaving.

"Come on, little girl, you're quite weird. Since you call me Uncle Fang, I will do my best to send you back."

"Yeah, yeah, thank you, Uncle Fang." Since it doesn't cost money to say nice things, Xiao Yuqi nodded cheerfully and followed her, very well-behaved.

By the time Fang Zhonghe was led back to the house where everyone was detained, it was already completely dark.

Fang Zhonghe opened the door and handed the jar in his hand to Xiao Yuqi, with a very kind expression on his face, "Okay, little girl, hurry in.".

"Okay, Uncle Fang, come here."
Chapter completed!
