The county magistrate's daughter only wants to farm

Chapter 70 Don’t talk nonsense about this chapter

"I heard they sell milk tea. It's said that the milk is from cows shipped back from the north. It's very rare." The old man himself was also curious about what the milk tea tasted like.

Jun Xiao squeezed forward and saw three young and beautiful girls standing in front of the shop facing the crowd. Jun Xiao looked closely and unexpectedly saw someone he knew. The one standing in the middle was not the eldest daughter of the general's family, but Jun Lan's cousin.

I didn't expect that this girl would start a business after arriving in Ning County. This is quite interesting. Jun Xiao just stood there casually listening to Song Ruorou talk.

"Our store is newly opened today, and we only sell milk tea. I'm sure you haven't tried milk tea before. It's made with tea, milk, sugar and other ingredients. You can add pearls or taro paste and other small ingredients, and the taste is excellent." Song Ruorou shouted loudly with a megaphone, "To thank all the elders and fellow villagers for their support, today, all milk teas are 20% off. Everyone is welcome to come in and buy a taste."

"How to sell it?" someone asked.

"The prices are hung on a board at the door of the store. You can choose according to your preferences. Prices range from ten to twenty cents," Song Ruorou explained.

"So expensive!"

"It's too expensive. Ten cents can buy almost a pound of rice."

"There's nothing we can do. The raw materials are not cheap, and we don't drink this every day. It's okay to buy a cup occasionally to satisfy your craving." Hearing the discussions of the people, Ye Ningxin also helped to explain.

The natural result is that some people are deterred by the price, but there are also people who want to try something new. There are always people with money everywhere.

Jun Xiao walked to the board at the door of the store, and Xiao Banzi followed closely. Seeing Jun Xiao frowning at the wooden board with prices written on it, he immediately took a look as well.

"Is this a word?" Xiao Banzi asked directly.

There were a few words written on each line, followed by a few small patterns. It was simple but clear. For example, he recognized that one of the patterns was the shape of taro, but the string of symbols that followed stumped him.

Unexpectedly, a childish voice came from the side, saying as a matter of course: "Aren't those numbers? I recognize them all. The one with a vertical line and a circle on top is ten, and the one with a vertical line and a duck-like shape on the bottom is twelve."

After saying that, the little boy added: "You are so stupid. Even children in Ning County know this."

"Sir, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Children are ignorant and please don't take it to heart." Suddenly a woman squeezed in from the side, pulled the little boy who was talking over and apologized quickly.

The man in front of me is obviously rich or noble, and must not be provoked.

The woman pulled the little boy and tried to leave the crowd, but Jun Xiao stopped her: "Wait."

"Have you ever been to school?" Jun Xiao asked the little boy in front of him who was about eight or nine years old.

"No." The little boy shook his head honestly.

"Then how do you recognize this word?" Jun Xiao asked seriously.

"This is written at the city gate. We all recognize it." The little boy blinked his innocent eyes.

"Young Master, you are from another place, right? This number is known to everyone in Ning County now."

"Yeah, even an old man like me can recognize it. It's very simple."

The onlookers heard the conversation between Jun Xiao and the little boy and interrupted to explain.

Jun Xiao stood there in a daze for a moment. He had obviously never thought that such a thing would happen. In a small county, both the old and the young could read?

"What happened?" Song Ruorou heard the noise and came over. When she saw it was Jun Xiao, her eyes widened immediately. She didn't expect the emperor to be here, so she was about to step forward and salute.

Jun Xiao waved his hand to stop her, signaling her not to mess around.

Song Ruorou immediately stood aside obediently.

"Little Boy, go buy two cups to try." Jun Xiao came back to his senses now. He would know what was going on once he saw Jun Lan.

Soon, Xiaobanzi brought out two cups of milk tea, which were served in bamboo cups with a bamboo tube inserted in them.

"Hey, this cup is a reward for you." Jun Xiao took the cup and handed it to the little boy.

The little boy's eyes lit up when he saw the milk tea in front of him. He quickly took it with both hands, raised his head and looked at Jun Xiao with sparkling eyes and said, "Thank you, brother!"

Jun Xiao smiled and said, Brother, well... you are so young.

"Come back to your senses." Gu Yin patted Song Ruorou's shoulder, "Everyone has gone far away, why are you still staring at them?"

After a pause, he teased, "Could it be that... you have taken a fancy to her?"

Gu Yin had naturally seen Jun Xiao just now. He looked similar to Jun Lan, but they were different types of men. It must be said that there were many handsome men in the Daji Dynasty, and one would appear from time to time.

Unexpectedly, Song Ruorou was shocked when she heard Gu Yin's words. She quickly covered her mouth and whispered, "Don't say that."

"What? Do you know him?" Gu Yin raised his eyebrows.

"Hmm..." Song Ruorou nodded hesitantly. But she couldn't understand why the emperor would appear in such a small place.

Seeing that Song Ruorou didn't explain in depth, Gu Yin stopped asking.

Jun Xiao continued to wander aimlessly with his small board, looking at the houses and shops on both sides of the street. They seemed to be no different from anywhere else.

However, there is a wooden box at regular intervals with a pattern painted on the outside of the box. I was thinking about finding out what it is used for.

"Bang!" Suddenly, a bamboo cup fell at Jun Xiao's feet. Xiao Banzi jumped up suddenly when he saw it. "Who, who is so bold!"

However, before Xiaodeng could find the person who threw the object, the two young men standing on their left were suddenly stopped by an old lady who appeared out of nowhere.

"Stop, this is a warning, pick up the garbage you threw." The lady said loudly.

One of the young men sneered and said, "You want me to pick up trash?"

"You threw it yourself, so you should pick it up yourself," the old lady insisted.

"What a joke, I just threw it away, what can you do about it?" The young man had an arrogant look on his face. People around him got angry when they saw his look and cursed at him, but the man didn't care at all and raised his chin with great pride.

"A fine of fifteen cents." The old lady has seen many people like this, but she is not afraid.

"Who do you think you are? You decide what to punish me and I'll punish you!" The young man still looked arrogant.

"What happened? Is someone littering again?" The patrolling constable came forward to inquire, apparently he was used to this kind of situation.

The old lady explained the matter to the constable, but she didn't expect that the young man still stiffened his neck and refused to accept the punishment when he saw the constable.

However, he had no choice. When the young man was caught by the police and walked a few meters away, he realized that the police were serious and he would be arrested and put in jail if he did not pay the fine.

He immediately cried for mercy and paid the fine obediently.

"If you had picked up the trash yourself earlier, wouldn't there have been any problem?" The old lady muttered helplessly, picked up the bamboo cup that the man threw on the ground, and threw it into the trash can beside her.

The whole thing took less than half a cup of tea from the beginning to the end, and Xiaobanzi was stunned.

"Master, no wonder the streets are so clean..."
