The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 136 Overlaying Task Progress Bar

Tang Laosan had just fallen to the ground when Wang Dalang pulled him up.

"Sir, we didn't mean that, please get up!"

Tang Laosan was very stubborn: "I, Tang Laosan, keep my word and will not renege on my debt just because I lost."

Little Ayu ran straight to the young man and whispered, "Big brother, we won. Can we stop Uncle from crawling? The ground is so dirty. If his clothes get dirty, Uncle's mother will be sad."

Liu helped wash Xiao Ayu's clothes. The other children had to continue wearing their clothes even when they got dirty, and they would only change and wash them once every ten days or so, because clothes would easily get damaged if washed too many times.

Where would we get so many extra clothes for them to change into?

But Xiao Ayu changes and washes her clothes as soon as they get dirty, because she has the most clothes in the family, five or six sets, and she can even mend them if they get ruined.

Therefore, Xiao Ayu often saw Liu washing her clothes. She noticed this and was very careful not to get herself dirty.

The young master was surprised that the little girl would say such a thing.

He asked, "He was being very aggressive just now, are you going to let him off the hook now?"

Little Ayu didn't understand such complicated words, but she still said, "Our Mr. Hu said that after you forgive people and vinegar, eggplant should also forgive people. So, we can't always bully others, even if we win."

The young master burst into laughter.

This little girl has actually been to school?

However, he hadn't been studying for very long and had only memorized half of it.

What she meant was probably to say that one should be forgiving when possible.
"I don't care. If you think it's okay not to use it, then you don't have to." The young master said, winking at the servant beside him. "I heard there was a ten-tael silver prize. Since you won, then the ten-tael silver is yours."

Without a word, the servant took out a heavy wad of silver from his purse. One tael of silver was one ingot, and ten taels would make ten ingots.

Little Ayu almost missed catching it.

"These are so heavy!" Little Ayu's hands were too small to hold ten, so she could only carry them in her arms.

Ten taels of silver, that's a real ten taels, it weighs about a pound!
There was another type of official silver, one ingot representing ten taels.

It has special patterns and the seal of the local government, and after being melted, it is not nearly as heavy.

However, as long as it is taken to the government, it can be exchanged for the full amount of silver, which is not available to ordinary people.

Wang Sanlang and Wang Silang's eyes widened when they saw so much silver.

In their daily lives, they see copper coins more often, followed by small pieces of silver; this was the first time they had ever seen a real silver ingot.

After Tang Laosan was pulled up, his face looked rather unpleasant.

He lost more than just the game; he also lost ten taels of silver.

He can only sell thirty or forty copper coins and ten taels of silver a day. How long will it take him to earn that back?

But since he's not as skilled as others, there's nothing he can do even if he feels resentful.

Amidst the curious stares of the crowd, Tang Laosan walked away with a somber expression.

Seeing Tang Laosan leave, and noticing that the children still wanted to sell the remaining wild fruits, Cai Niu reminded them, "Good children, hurry up and take these things home. Your candied hawthorns have become quite famous now. If you come back to sell them tomorrow or in a few days, someone will definitely buy them. It's better to make all these wild fruits into candied hawthorns than to sell them for five for a penny."

Cai Niu just tried their candied hawthorns, and they tasted really good.

Five wild fruits coated in sugar—they used plenty of sugar, since they might not even be able to buy this kind of sugar for three coins.

Especially the children, who just received ten taels of silver, are bound to be envious of so many people who saw it.

It would be safer to go home sooner. Wang Dalang thought so too, so he decided to gather up the remaining wild fruits.

The young master stepped forward and pointed with his fan, saying, "These fruits of yours seem quite good. Pack them all up for me. How much? Name your price."

“One copper coin buys five.” Little Ayu held up one finger with her left hand and a palm with her right, waving her hands to show the young master.

"You don't expect me to calculate it myself, do you?" The young master raised an eyebrow.

Wang Dalang thought to himself that he should call his second brother over, since his second brother was the best at math.

There were so many fruits that they couldn't count them all at once.

In the end, the young master didn't bother to wait for them to calculate it, so he left them one tael of silver and said, "Your fruit looks good. If I have the chance, I'll come back to buy some more next time."

Only the servants behind him knew that this was just a casual remark.

Their home isn't here; they just happened to be passing through Nanhe Town, and they probably won't have the chance to come back again.

After all, there wasn't much good food in this town to satisfy the young master's requirements.

Little Ayu was very happy, rummaging through her pockets, and then said to Tuanzi in her heart.

"Elf, I really like this big brother. He gave us so much money. Can I give him some fruit?"

【Whatever you like.】 Could Tuanzi possibly say no?

From the moment this young master started paying, Tuanzi noticed that Zaizi's task progress bar had moved forward. Since Zaizi also contributed to the output of the mountains, the amount of money earned from the mountains would advance Zaizi's task bar by the same amount.

I originally thought that the total value would be calculated based on the money earned from selling the wild fruits and candied hawthorns, but it turns out that the ten taels of silver given by the young master were also included in the total value.

The little one now has over 480 taels left in its task list, which immediately gave it hope.

The task might be completed faster than expected.

The wild fruits that Xiao Ayu mentioned were the ones she usually grew in her space. She would rummage through the lining of her pocket, and Tuanzi would find them for her in her space.

Those that were particularly large or unusual could not be taken; in the end, we found some that looked relatively normal.

Little Ayu took out three fruits, each with a different shape and color.

"Big brother, this is my favorite fruit, I'll give it to you." Little Ayu grinned at the young master and said happily, "My name is Ayu, big brother, what's your name?"

The young master originally did not want to reveal his name; he had not introduced himself to others before.

But seeing the little guy's eager look, he twitched his lips and finally said, "My surname is Murong, and my given name is Run. Do you remember it?"

"Okay, okay, I'll remember! Big Brother Murong Run, your name is so unique." Little Ayu scratched her head. "It's just a little long. I'll call you Brother Murong!"

The servant standing nearby twitched his lips. If this little guy hadn't looked only two or three years old, he would have suspected that he was some kind of seductive vixen trying to seduce their young master.

Murong Run remained indifferent, casually holding the three fruits in his hand: "Let's go."

He still needs to continue searching for delicious food for his grandfather.

There aren't many things in the world that would suit my grandfather's taste. We've been searching for over three months, but so far we've found nothing.

Murong Run had already prepared herself for disappointment, so she approached the search with a playful attitude.

After Xiao Ayu and the others returned home with empty baskets, the Wang family didn't pay much attention.

The adults thought: "These greedy kids probably ate most of the food on the way here."
I don't know how much they made, maybe they didn't sell a single one.
