Chapter 100 My Aunt is So Poor
There are so many magical things that the people of Taohua Village can’t even count them on their fingers.

This is just like how someone who has seen the world would not exclaim in amazement at the appearance of a few wild ducks in a pond.

Except for infants and children under seven years old, everyone else had to pay an entrance fee of two cents per person.

Baiqi is a thirteen-year-old girl. She has excellent math skills, can draw inferences from one example, and is serious about her work. Therefore, Baitao specifically asked her to be in charge of the money of Taohua Village.

At this moment, accompanied by Bai Duojin and two villagers, she queued at the city gate to pay the entrance fee.

Facing the slightly surprised looks of the city gate guards and the money collectors, Bai Duojin smiled and explained in a gentle voice: "This is our master's personal maid."

At this moment, the looks of these people were different, and they understood everything very clearly.

Servants who are favored by their masters are naturally different from others. Even maids can still manage money.

When they returned to the convoy, Bai Duojin wanted to explain to Bai Qi that what he had just done was just a temporary measure, but he saw Bai Qi running excitedly to Bai Tao and speaking hesitantly.

"Auntie, I will be your maid."

I heard from Sixth Aunt before that wealthy families are always surrounded by maids and attendants.

If she became my aunt's maid, she could follow my aunt closely.

What a blessing this is.

When the time comes, my aunt will be able to take her with her wherever she goes, and the villagers will be so envious.

I learned a lot from my aunt and was able to listen to more interesting and meaningful stories.

When Bai Qi thought about this, the anticipation on his face became even stronger, and his eyes sparkled.

Bai Tao was leaning against the window of the carriage, staring at the crayfish crawling through the bushes. She didn't hear clearly for a moment, so she casually replied, "Okay."

"Can we go into the city now?" So many!

She wanted to not go into the city and go directly into the bushes to catch crayfish, but it was getting dark and everyone had been traveling all day and needed a good rest, so she had to hold back.

"Okay." Bai Duojin followed over, but was interrupted by Bai Qi before he finished speaking.

"Auntie, I have just paid the entrance fee to the city, so we can go in now."

As she said this, she proudly raised her chin towards Bai Duojin with a look of smugness on her face, "My aunt has agreed. Now I am your maid, and I am your personal servant!"

Bai Duojin: “…” This girl actually seized the opportunity.

Originally, there was no entrance fee to Qingzhou city, but in the past two months, there has been an epidemic of insects, and even the roofs of farmers' houses outside the city are infested with insects.

The situation in the city was better than outside the city, and many people rushed into the city to hide. The Qingzhou government decided to charge a head fee for entering the city.

I saw some crayfish crawling onto the road with their claws raised, but they were kicked away mercilessly by the guards who cursed at them. There were many remains of crushed crayfish on the ground at the city gate.

Bai Tao felt a little sorry when she saw this, because this was meat, delicious meat.

Twelve coins per pound, which is more expensive than rice.

She was now looking forward to coming the next day so that she could start catching crayfish.

Originally, Zhou Yang wanted his family to spend the night near the city gate. He took his eldest son into the city, bought what they needed and then came out.

But after seeing so many crawling insects, he reluctantly decided that it would be better for his whole family to go into the city, at least it would be safer.

Some people really can't bear to part with the two cents. After all, they don't know what will happen in the future, so the more they can save, the better.

Although the insects looked scary, they did not hurt anyone. There were just too many of them, which made them uncomfortable and scary. So they decided to deal with them near the city gate for one night.

The gatekeepers saw these people cleaning up the bugs and wanted to spend the night near the city gate, but they didn't stop them. These bugs were too annoying, and now that someone could clean them up, they were relieved, so they naturally turned a blind eye.

Although crayfish are not as abundant in Qingzhou City as in the suburbs, there are still quite a lot of them.

The government will only organize people to clean the streets once an hour, and each store will also clean up, so although you can see crayfish crawling onto the streets from time to time, it won't be so severe that there's no place to put your feet.

Because of the insect plague, there had not been many caravans coming to Qingzhou for more than a month, so Taohua Village easily found an inn with a large courtyard.

There were more than 200 people, who occupied five large yards, and all the trucks and horses could be properly accommodated.

Since everyone lives in the same village, everything is convenient.

"Hurry, hurry, unload the crayfish for me." As soon as the carriage stopped, Bai Tao gave excited orders before she even got off the carriage.

"Yes, auntie." Bai Qi responded quickly and walked forward to pick up a large sack.

She also drank the powerful pill liquid, and now she is very strong. She can beat five or six ordinary men alone.

"Duoxi, come quickly."

"Hey, aunt." Bai Duoxi ran up quickly.

Bai Tao instructed earnestly: "Do as I say. Scrub these little things clean with a brush, remove the heads, pick out the shrimp threads, and then stir-fry them with thirteen spices."

Bai Duoxi was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and her eyes widened: "Auntie, you want to eat it?"

"correct."

Bai Tao's round eyes sparkled, and her babyish voice was filled with excitement: "Let me tell you, this crayfish is delicious."

"By the way, make me some garlic flavor."

"Also, also, make some spicy ones, but use less chili peppers, or I'm afraid you won't be able to eat them."

Looking at Bai Tao swallowing her saliva while speaking, Bai Duoxi couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Could it be that because I sold too much food before and I was afraid of having nothing to eat, I started eating insects? !

"Aunt, actually, we still have some food, you don't need it..." Bai Duoxi felt a pang in her heart and her eyes turned red instantly.

Woohoo, my aunt always keeps everything to herself and would rather suffer than let everyone know how difficult it is for her.

It’s all because they are so useless!
"Auntie, you really don't have to..."

"I don't want to eat." Bai Tao waved her little hand and interrupted him: "I just want to eat crayfish today."

God knows how excited she was after seeing the crayfish crawling everywhere, and the mall was even more excited, with the sound of beeps never stopping.

The villagers picked up a few sacks for Bai Tao, and the mall had been trying to get her to sell them.

If Bai Tao hadn't decided to bring the villagers to try it, she wouldn't have been reluctant to sell it.

Seeing Bai Duoxi's red eyes, looking a little sad, Bai Tao was puzzled: "What's wrong with you? Did sand get into your eyes or did the peppers burn you?"

Bai Duoxi shook his head, so Bai Tao asked again: "Can you still cook?"

After all, both spicy and fragrant flavors are a bit irritating to the eyes. If he can't do it, then someone else will have to do it.

"Of course!" Bai Duoxi wiped his eyes hurriedly. He deserved to die for making his aunt worry at this time.

"That's good. Anyway, I want to eat this. If you don't want to eat it, you can just cook something else."
