Chapter 107 How embarrassing for her

Before crayfish could be exchanged for food, every household wished that crayfish would crawl to other people's doorsteps.

When going out, if no one is paying attention, they will pretend not to notice and kick the crayfish to the next door.

Now I wish all the crayfish would crawl to my doorstep.

Is this a matter of crayfish? This is about face, but also about food.

But within one day, the crayfish that the people of Taohua Village had been unable to pick up in the city suddenly disappeared without more than two crayfish left on the streets.

At the beginning, they could pick up one and a half sacks in a cup of tea, but now they could only pick up one sack in half an hour in the afternoon.

People in the city were murmuring, where are the crayfish?

Where did you go?

I just picked up a few sacks, how come they are gone?
Who are the shameless people who picked up all the crayfish in the city?
People in the suburbs don’t have this worry. They can pick up half a sack of trash in the grass, by streams, ponds, and fields... Even if someone has picked it up before, they can easily pick up half a sack in two or three hours.

If you want to pick up more and faster, then walk a little further away and find a place where no one has picked up anything before. It will only take a cup of tea to fill a large sack.

Qingzhou City was filled with people in a hurry, with their heads down and their eyes looking around, looking for crayfish to pick up.

If they see the target, their eyes will immediately light up with excitement, as if they saw money on the ground.

They would pounce forward, squat, or bend over, and quickly stretch out their hands to put the crayfish into a sack, bamboo basket, or large fish basket.

Of course, these people are only ordinary people, and the rich people sneer at this.

Whether it is a small insect or a crayfish, it has nothing to do with the rich and powerful, but the move by the Baijiabao caravan does indeed facilitate them.

No one wants crayfish to pop out from the corners of his mansion or estate from time to time.

When the officials of Qingzhou prefecture heard the news, they thought about it and cancelled the two-cent fee for entering the city that same day.

Now people are looking for the insect called crayfish everywhere, and those living outside the city have no time to hide in the city.

Canceling the two-cent fee for entering the city would allow people who exchanged food for food to come into the city to consume.

We can't just eat food, we need firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. Rice alone is not enough, we need to buy some meat or sauce, vinegar and tea.

The city of Qingzhou hasn't been this lively for a long time. Only when there are people and business, the government can collect taxes.

In the afternoon, Bai Tao woke up and took Bai Xiaocao and Bai Qi out of the inn.

Unlike when I went into the city two days ago, it was hard to see crayfish on the streets today.

"Auntie, there are no crayfish on the streets." Bai Qi looked out the window of the carriage with a look of regret.

Before this, she picked up seven or eight large sacks in half a day.

Beside him, Bai Xiaocao also nodded.

Crayfish are so delicious, but my aunt said that the uncles and aunts in the village are busy and don’t have time to keep an eye on them, so they won’t let them go out to pick crayfish.

The reason why she and Baiqi were able to come out was because they followed their aunt.

The others were in the inn, some were reciting their lessons, some were practicing martial arts.

Bai Tao was eating a lollipop with great relish in her mouth, and replied vaguely, "Normal."

If you pick up ownerless items, you can exchange them for food. It depends on whether you want to do something or not.

Bai Xiaocao doesn't talk much usually, but he has been following Bai Tao around during this period and has become a lot bolder.

But Baiqi was not a shy person, so the two of them crowded around the window, looking curiously at the shops passing by.

"What kind of store is that? The words on it... Auntie, I don't recognize them." Bai Qi said, turning her head to look at Bai Tao. Bai Tao glanced and said, "It's a grocery store."

"My aunt is really amazing. She knows all this."

Bai Qi's eyes were full of admiration, and Bai Xiaocao nodded in agreement: "My aunt is amazing. She knows so much."

Looking at two little girls older than herself coaxing her seriously, Bai Tao felt helpless and amused.

What does that have to do with being powerful? The things sold in that shop are so diverse that it looks like a grocery store.

Next, when the two came across a shop with words they didn't recognize and turned to ask Bai Tao, Bai Tao would occasionally answer, or wait until the carriage passed before slowly asking, "What? Where?"

Or just close your eyes and pretend to take a nap.

Are you kidding? She doesn’t even know the word Qin in Jin State.

But if she just said she didn't know him, she would lose face.

Of course I pretended not to see it.

Bai Xiaocao and Bai Qi were still young, so they had no idea about Bai Tao's little thoughts. Besides, they would never think that their powerful aunt could be illiterate.

After leaving the city, the carriage went to the nearest shed. The people in Taohua Village could naturally recognize the carriage, and the guards quickly removed the temporary fence.

Seeing Bai Tao, the villagers called out to her obediently.

"Auntie."

"Auntie~"

Bai Tao nodded, and strolled from one shed to another with her hands behind her back, just like a rich landlord inspecting his own fields.

Looking at the long queue of people exchanging money, and then glancing at the constantly jumping balance in the mall, the smile on his little face never faded.

There is strength in numbers. Although she needs to buy some food, this exchange rate still allows Bai Tao to make a lot of money.

There were many people picking up crayfish, so the people in Taohua Village had to pull carts to transport food and crayfish.

Seeing her coming over, Bai Tiezhu pulled up his sleeves to wipe the sweat from his forehead, smiling: "Auntie~"

Bai Tao smiled and said, "How is it? Are you tired?"

"Not bad." They thought that these crayfish were a gift to their aunt. If their aunt could use them, they would have endless energy.

"Do you still want to pick up crayfish by yourself?" Bai Tao asked jokingly.

The eyes of Bai Xiaocao and Bai Qi, who were following behind her, lit up suddenly, but Bai Tao didn't notice.

Bai Tiezhu scratched his head and grinned: "Auntie, I still want to, but I just don't have the time."

They are still too young. Before, the villagers were clamoring to pick them up themselves, but now everyone is so busy that they don’t even remember to pick up the crayfish themselves.

The other villagers also smiled and worked while responding: "Auntie, if you are not busy, then we will definitely pick it up ourselves."

Picking up crayfish is indeed very interesting. If they were not too busy, the people in Taohua Village would definitely compete with others for picking up crayfish, and they would definitely be far ahead.

Just to transport the crayfish to the pit at the back designated by my aunt and then transport the food, it would take more than ten to twenty people to get to one shed.

It is said to be a scam, but in fact it is just an item with space storage function provided by the mall after Bai Tao bargained with the mall.

Free.

In Bai Tao's words, when you go to the countryside to collect goods, there must be no cartons and horses.
