    When Old Madam Wang, who was about to leave, heard this, she immediately returned and red at her. “1 didn’t say I’m not buying it. Give it to me. I want it all.”


    Xiaoxiao weighed it nimbly and even took the initiative to clear the extra change. She asked considerately, “1 don’t think you have anything else to pack these prawns. Do you want to take this bucket, too? You can just bring it to us tomorrow. You can give it to the uncle at the noodle stall if we’re not around.” Old Madam Wang’s impression of her increased, and a smile appeared. “Little girl, you know how to behave. Alright, if you have any new things in the future, remember to bring them over. 1 buy them all and try them. If the Young Master eats happily, you will be rewarded.”


    As soon as she left, Ning Eng leaned over. “Why did you give her all the buckets? What if she doesn’te?”


    Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him. “Can the county magistrate’s family be greedy for this bucket? It’s fine, even if they’re greedy. We’ve earned it. Besides, when shees to return the bucket tomorrow, perhaps she will buy something back along the way.”


    Ning Eng was enlightened and apuded repeatedly. “Your ability to do business makes me… How to say it? I’m amazed. Yes, I’m amazed!”


    Xiaoxiao put her hands on her hips proudly and acted very modestly. She then egged her second brother on. “Brother, why don’t we go to the government office to rent the stall? Otherwise, what if we miss this auntie?”


    Before Ning Eng could react, he asked, “You mean that bucket?”


    Xiaoxiao wanted to p him on the head. “What bucket? I’m talking about a transaction. Didn’t you hear what she said just now? She’s willing to buy anything new. She’s a long-term customer. She alone supports our ie of 30 copper coins!”


    Xiaoxiao started to trick him again. “Listen to me settle. Thirty copper coins a day, nine hundred copper coins a month, and nine taels of silver in ten months! There’s still money left after paying off thend!”


    Ning Eng finally realized he couldn’t let his sister settle the score. She had the ability. The more she calcted, the more confused the ounts became. For example, he had followed his sister to the county office to register.


    As a native farmer, Ning Eng was nervous when he saw the official. He thought that his sister would be scared away, but she went forward and asked. For a moment, Ning Eng didn’t know if he was too shy or his sister was not ashamed. He didn’t know how he followed his sister’s instructions andpleted the registration of the stall step by step. When he gave out the 50 copper coins, he was stunned. The bailiff reminded him because his reaction was too slow.


    In front of the officials, Ning Eng did not dare to go back on his word. He handed his hands forward. Fine, the money was gone.


    On the way back to the stall, he kept reflecting on himself. How did things be like this, step by step? He was just selling bamboo shoots. Why did he suddenly rent a stall?


    Unlike him, Xiaoxiao was quite happy now. She needed toe to the county often to do many things. Now, she had a reason toe often.


    While they were leaving, Ning Dng sold more than ten portions of sour bamboo shoots. After that, there was no movement. Ning Eng suddenly felt a sense of crisis about the fifty copper coins. “Sister, if I go to the county office now, do you think I can get back the money from renting the stall?”


    Xiaoxiao sighed. Haste makes waste. It was better tofort her brother.


    “Let’s close the stall and go somewhere else to sell bamboo shoots.”


    Ning Eng was puzzled. “Where?”


    Not long after, they looked at the “Fragrance Restaurant” que above their heads. They could not figure out their sister’s thoughts. He had heard of this restaurant before. It was almost the most famous in the county, but they could not afford it.. What were they doing here? Touring?
