The poor little girl who traveled through the book, her father was lazy, her mother was stingy, and

"Uncle, how long does it take to get to Jialin County?"

Li Shi thought for a moment and said, "At the beginning, we pulled the wild boar on the cart. The eight of us walked from the beginning of the Yin hour to the beginning of the Si hour."

Walking for three hours?

It took more than an hour to get from Shanglin Village to Dayi Town, which she felt was extremely long.

What does it mean to walk for three hours?

It was just a trip there and back, and half a day was gone.

If you want to do business in Jialin County, you must stay in Jialin County for one night.

But this is not cost-effective and will delay her from doing other things.

If you go to Jialin County, you will have to rent or buy a yard.

Let’s not talk about whether she can afford it or not, because she doesn’t know the market situation in Jialin County.

Nowadays, the daily income in Dayi Town is about 500 wen, which means 15 taels a month.

In ancient times when an ordinary farmer could save two or three taels of silver after a year of sewing and mending and living frugally, their current income is already considered a huge sum of money.

She couldn't convince her parents to give up this place and move to the county town.

Forget it.

Lin Xiaoman thought that it would be better to take his time to plan.

Once I have saved enough money, my parents may not have so many concerns.

A group of three people pulled the cart and started going from street to street selling their wares.

A few bowls of frozen food were sold here and there.

By the time the three of them reached the main street, only half of Li Taohua's ice cream was left.

"Xiaoman, are they sold out?" Li Taohua asked.

"No!" Lin Xiaoman was a little distressed, "There is only half a bucket left, mother, it seems that three buckets will be enough tomorrow."

"It's okay, let's wait a little longer. If we really can't sell them, ask your third uncle to take some back, and we will eat the rest ourselves." Li Taohua was afraid that Xiaoman would be sad, so she smiled indifferently.

When the sun was directly above the sky, there was only half a bucket of ice cream left. Lin Dajiang packed some for Li Shitou and some for the owner of a nearby shop.

When Zhou Laosan tasted the delicious ice-cold dish his son had described for the first time, he found that the brat was right.

Even though Zhou Laosan, the pork seller, has no shortage of pork at home, he is still very stingy with other food. He will only spend a penny if the children want to eat.

"Brother Dajiang, are you buying ribs today?"

"No, no, no."

How can you buy meat every day? Even if there is little bone meat, it is still pork.

In the past, I ate it less than twice a year.

If we eat it every day now, that would be unbearable.

After delivering the ice-cold noodles, Lin Dajiang filled a bowl for everyone present as a lunch.

Lin Xiaoman gave Li Erli fifteen copper coins and said, "Thank you for your help today, brother Erli."

Li Erli refused to accept it and said, "I didn't help much. Besides, we are from the same village, so we should help each other."

"Besides, I also ate some iced frozen food." Li Erli refused to accept it no matter what.

"Brother Erli, my father still has work to do in the fields, so he doesn't have time to come out and sell frozen jelly with us every day. I'd like to ask you to help sell the frozen jelly at Yiyitang in the future."

The rice panicle differentiation period is over, and it is time to apply abundant water and fertilizer during the heading and flowering period. Lin Dajiang does not have enough time to spare to work with them.

"This..." Li Erli originally wanted to come out to find a job. He wanted to agree, but when he thought about the three acres of land he had to take care of at home, he hesitated.

Lin Xiaoman guessed what he was thinking, and said, "Brother Erli, from now on, you and my father should meet at different times, so that we won't delay our crops or the sale of frozen food."

Lin Dajiang thought Xiaoman’s idea was very good.

I am always nervous every time I work in the fields.

With Li Erli around, he can feel a lot more at ease.

"Erli, take this money. I've told you all about this. Jingzhe used to follow you up mountains and rivers, and he caused you a lot of trouble."

"From now on, you and I will take turns selling frozen yogurt. It's settled."

Lin Dajiang patted Li Erli's shoulder, making a loud pat.

Li Erli felt a little embarrassed and took the copper coin with gratitude on his face.

There is little work in Dayi Town, otherwise he would have come out to look for a job two years ago.

"Brother Erli, from now on, I'll give you one copper coin for every two bowls of iced frozen food you sell."

Lin Xiaoman calculated that the magnolia fruit was free, and the water was drawn from Li Erli's well. The only expensive things were the firewood for boiling water and the labor for making ice.

But Li Erli didn't know all this.

He was shocked when he heard what Lin Xiaoman said.

Selling two bowls of iced frozen food costs one copper coin, selling ten bowls costs five copper coins, and selling sixty bowls costs thirty copper coins.

This...it's Uncle Dajiang's family who are taking care of him!

How did this happen?

Li Erli: "Sister Xiaoman, this is too much."

"Not much, Brother Erli. I want to sell my frozen food to Jialin County in the future, so I need your help."

Li Erli was dumbfounded.

Sister Xiaoman actually has this idea?

It’s really... amazing.

This was something he couldn't even imagine.

"Brother Erli, why are you still hesitating? Once Xiaoman's business is successful, I will be the head manager and your second manager will definitely not be able to escape." Lin Jingzhe laughed in a low voice.

"Isn't Auntie always worried that you won't find a wife? I saw her looking for a matchmaker a few days ago. Once our business gets big, we won't have to worry about not finding a wife."

Li Erli saw that Lin Jingzhe had a wife on his left and another on his right, and he kept talking about his wife, and his face turned red for a moment.

Lin Jingzhe laughed out loud and didn't care about Li Erli's shyness. He loaded the buckets, boards and wooden bowls onto the cart.

After the Lin family said goodbye to Li Shi, Li Erli said he was going to buy some pork.

To buy pork, go to Zhou Laosan’s pork stall.

Lin Xiaoman pointed at a piece of pork belly and said, "Uncle Zhou San, I want the piece of pork belly with fat and lean parts."

After Zhou Laosan and Lin Xiaoman confirmed it, he cut it with one cut and it was exactly the amount Lin Xiaoman wanted.

Lin Dajiang's eyes began to twitch and he wanted to say something, but when he thought about the money he made from selling frozen food in the past few days, he felt that Xiaoman was really working hard.

Looking again, Xiaoman is still so thin and short, it’s only right for her to eat some meat to supplement her diet.

So he turned his head to look at the sky, and then looked down at the grass.

As soon as I saw it, I realized something was wrong.

A beggar huddled in the corner, staring at three little kids playing not far away.

"Uncle, help me cut the meat into square pieces." Lin Xiaoman thought the knife at home was too slow, so he asked Zhou Laosan to help cut it, saving his mother the trouble of going back home.

Li Erli asked for pork ribs, which were cheap, and also bought some fatty meat that was used to make lard.

When the few people paid the money and prepared to go back, Lin Dajiang saw that the beggar was still staring at the child.

"Xiaoman, hold Guyu." Lin Dajiang handed Lidong in his arms to Taohua, and asked Lin Xiaoman to hold Guyu's hand.

He took some leftover ice cream from the car, walked to the beggar, squatted down, and said, "Here you go."

The beggar retracted his hand and stepped back subconsciously.

He took it only after he saw it was food. He looked at Lin Dajiang blankly, not saying a word and not eating.

When Lin Dajiang turned around, the little beggar turned around and looked at the children.

"Dad, do you feel something is wrong?" Lin Xiaoman leaned closer and whispered.

"The little beggar's clothes were torn and tattered, and his face was covered in dust. Look, he didn't even eat the icy treat I gave him, but kept staring at the three children."

Lin Dajiang walked away with his family and looked at the little beggar at the corner.

Li Erli came to his senses and said, "Uncle Dajiang, should we report to the police?"

"The emperor is far away. By the time you report to the authorities, they will have already run away."

"what is it now?"

Lin Dajiang didn't know what to do. It was actually none of his business, but when he thought about how small those kids were, they would definitely not be able to outrun the beggar.

It was too late to report to the police.

"Master, isn't that Miss Xiaoman?"

Ping'an was driving a donkey cart and saw Lin Dajiang's family from a distance.

Gu Changsheng lifted the straw curtain and found that Miss Xiaoman and her family seemed to be acting suspiciously.

Is there any difficulty?

"Ping An, go and take a look."

Lin Jingzhe and Li Erli were anxiously using their almost rusty brains when a pair of hands patted Lin Jingzhe on the shoulder. He was about to scream, but he remembered that he must not alarm Paihuazi, so he immediately covered his mouth and shouted, "Woo!"

Ping An, who had just come over, was startled and asked, "What are you doing?"

Lin Jingzhe felt as if he saw a living Buddha when he saw Ping An.

He is Young Master Gu's servant. If he is here, Young Master Gu must be nearby.

Lin Jingzhe stretched his head to look, and a donkey cart not far away was particularly conspicuous.

"Hurry up and tell Master Gu that there are beggars here."

"what!"

Ping An was horrified. Everyone hated the beagle. If he appeared, his family would be separated from him.

He was the one who was abducted by the beagle boy. Although he was young, he still remembered some things.

After traveling to many places, he was bought by Mr. Gu by accident and given to Gu Changsheng as a servant.

"I'll tell the master."
