Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

Grain shop.

"Hey, what do you two want to buy?"

Cheng Wan looked at the second brother in front of him who was entertaining the two brothers and sisters with a smile on his face. He thought that things had gone smoothly so far, and sighed in his heart: "This is not like what is shown in the TV series. The waiters usually judge people by their appearance. This When I came back to the county town for the first time, the people I met seemed to have normal minds, and I didn’t meet any bad people.”

People respect me one foot, and I respect others one foot.

Everyone greeted him with a smile, and Cheng Wan's attitude was naturally not bad either.

"Little brother, we, brother and sister, want to buy some food for our family. Could you please tell me the prices of these various types of food?"

When the waiter heard Cheng Wan's name, the smile on his face became even bigger.

"The cheapest here is coarse grains, which cost only four cents per catty, followed by brown rice, which costs five cents per catty."

"Chen rice has six articles, rough rice has seven articles, and ordinary rice has nine articles."

"The most expensive ones are the fine flour, polished rice, and glutinous rice. The fine flour is fifteen cents per catty, the polished rice is twenty-four cents per catty, and the glutinous rice is thirty cents per catty."

When Cheng Erping heard the last part, he took a deep breath. The fine noodles and polished rice were too expensive.

As for the glutinous rice, Cheng Erping automatically skipped it.

Cheng Erping tugged on Cheng Wan's sleeves and whispered: "Awan, let's just buy some whole grains and brown rice. Everything else is not cheap."

Cheng Wan had the same plan. Although he now had more than a hundred taels of silver, as Cheng Erping said, there were many places to spend money at home. Not to mention the conditions of the Cheng family, even many families in the county could not afford fine food. Noodles and polished rice.

Cheng Wan then remembered that there were ten kilograms of flour in the express cabinet, but the modern flour was much whiter and finer than the fine flour in the ancient market. For a moment, he couldn't find a suitable reason to take it out, so he could only put it away first. Wait for the day to come.

After discussing with Cheng Erping, Cheng Wan and Cheng Erping finally asked for one hundred catties of old rice, one hundred catties of coarse noodles, and forty catties of ordinary rice, which was exactly two stones of grain in total.

These two stones of grain, plus the grain stored at home, are enough to keep the family full until the summer harvest is over.

The total amount was one tael and six hundred and sixty cents. Cheng Wan paid one tael of silver first, and made an appointment with the waiter to pick up the food later and pay the remaining silver.

After buying food, Cheng Wan and Cheng Erping continued to buy other things.

Unexpectedly, when the two of them were passing through an alley, they were stopped by someone.

"If you are wise, hand over all the money you have!"

Cheng Wan frowned and looked at the three men blocking the road on the other side, feeling her face hurt a little.

When she was at the grain store, she was still thinking that everything went smoothly today and she didn't meet any bad people.

The result is now a slap in the face.

Cheng Erping looked at the person opposite nervously and stretched out his arms to protect Cheng Wan behind him.

"You stopped the wrong person, we have no money."

The man standing opposite him in the middle sneered, and the flesh on his face trembled, "No money? You still have so many things in your hands when you don't have money? Do you think I'm a fool? I advise you to hand over the money you have, so as not to suffer any consequences. The pain of flesh and blood.”

Next to this man, a thin man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks said maliciously: "Boss, stop talking nonsense to them. Looking at the way they are dressed, I guess where the money for shopping comes from."

Cheng Wan pulled Cheng Erping behind her expressionlessly, and then handed Cheng Erping the robe hanging on her waist and the cloth bag in her hand.

The cloth bag contained fine salt that had just been bought, which cost a full 125 cents per pound, which made Cheng Wan feel very distressed.

But there was no way. Given this condition, Cheng Wan really didn't want to eat coarse salt.

Now that we are going to fight, of course we have to arrange the valuable things first.

"Second brother, stand back. If we fight later, we won't hurt you or the things we bought."

Everyone on the other side burst out laughing when they heard Cheng Wan's words. Cheng Wan's thin appearance was really deceiving.

Cheng Wan sighed and said sincerely, "I really don't like fighting. I want to be a lady, but there are always people who mess with me."

After saying that, regardless of the reaction of the people present, he raised his fists and rushed forward.

The three men were laughing happily, but when Cheng Wan's fist hit them, they couldn't laugh anymore.

Outside the alley, two men stood there.

Among them, a man obviously dressed as a subordinate stared dumbly at the one-sided beating not far away.

"Master, this girl is so..."

The man wanted to say tough, but then he thought it was inappropriate to use tough to describe the girl. In the end, he just said: "So awesome."

The man who was called Young Master looked at Cheng Wan who was beating three bullies not far away and made them cry for father and mother. His angular face was filled with silence and he said, "They are quite powerful. You don't need your help."

Cheng Wan was beating someone when he suddenly felt two unfamiliar eyes.

Cheng Wan looked up in the direction of the source of her gaze, and happened to meet the young master's gaze.

Cheng Wan frowned slightly and thought to herself: "Looking at this man's appearance, clothing, and demeanor, I'm afraid he has an unusual background and he shouldn't be nosy."

The man seemed to see the meaning in Cheng Wan's eyes, nodded slightly to Cheng Wan, then turned and left.

Cheng Wan watched the master and servant leave, then looked away.

What Cheng Wan didn't know was that the master and servant had an unusual background.

The man called Young Master is named Gu Yan, and he is the youngest son of the current Marquis Dingyuan. He is only eighteen years old this year, but he already won the first prize in the exam last year, and his future is bright.

Gu Yan was a well-known person in the capital, with his family background, talent, education, and appearance.

As for the man with Gu Yan, he was Gu Yan's servant and bodyguard named Shaoqing.

The master and servant were on a business trip from Beijing this time and passed through Qingyuan County. They took a short rest in Qingyuan County, but they did not expect to bump into Cheng Wan and Cheng Erping and be stopped and robbed on the road.

Shaoqing was ready to help, but things didn't develop as the master and servant expected.

But these have nothing to do with Cheng Wan at this time. She is fighting a robbery at this time.

Cheng Wan kicked the eldest of the three men, "Be smart and hand over all the money you have!"

Cheng Erping had only heard from his family that Cheng Wan was a good fighter before, but now he saw Cheng Wan's ferocity in fighting with his own eyes, and his heart was still beating fast.

"Awan, this...isn't this not good?"

Cheng Wan said earnestly, "Second brother, we must be fair in dealing with things. If they come to rob us, we will rob them back. Isn't this fair?"

Cheng Erping held the things in his arms and nodded blankly.

Turning around, Cheng Wan kicked the boss again, "Hurry up! Take out all the money."

Cheng Wan took the money handed over by the three men with trembling hands and felt disgusted.

"You guys can't do this. The three of you together don't even have a tael of silver. Let's find another profession."

"Especially you, how can you, the boss, get away with it? You only have three copper coins on your body."

With that said, Cheng Wan kicked the boss again.

The boss tried to hold it in, but failed to hold it in and burst into tears.

Cheng Wan was shocked. This man was so tall and fierce, how could he cry like a bear?

Really ugly.

Cheng Wan glared, "Shut up!"

The boss was immediately frightened and did not dare to cry anymore, so he just sobbed softly.

Cheng Wan endured it, but she couldn't hold it in any longer, "I didn't even cry when I was a little girl who was robbed. Why are you crying?"

"I..., it was also my first time to rob. Who knew I would meet you? It hurts so much when you hit someone, wuwuwu..."

Cheng Wan looked suspicious, "You were so vicious at the beginning, it's not like the first time. You're not trying to bluff me, are you?"

"It's them. The two of them said that pretending to be like that will scare people, wuwuwu..."

Cheng Wan glanced at the other two people who looked panicked, and then at the "boss" who was crying like a little daughter-in-law.

I understood in my heart: "This boss seems to be in a bad state of mind. He must have been used as a weapon."

Cheng Wan drove the two men away, then squatted down and looked at the "boss" curiously.

"How old are you?"

He looks like a big man, but why does he feel like his brain is not normal?

"fourteen."

Cheng Wan and Cheng Erping both exclaimed: "How much?!"

"Boss" glanced at Cheng Wan timidly, "I'm fourteen."

Cheng Wan looked at the fifteen-year-old Cheng Erping with a dull expression on her face, and then at the "boss" in front of her, complaining in her heart: "I look like this at the age of fourteen. I don't know how old the baby is. This is appearance deception."

Cheng Wan returned the three coins to him, "Okay, you rob me and I beat you up, then we're even."

After thinking about it, Cheng Wan added another sentence, "Your brain is not suitable for robbery. Go home and listen to the adults, live a good life, and don't hang out with those two people in the future. They are not good people."

Cheng Wan and Cheng Erping left the alley when a voice came from behind: "What's your name?"

Cheng Wan waved her hand, "Cheng Wan."

Cheng Wan didn't know at this time that the name she answered casually would be a big help to the Cheng family in the future.
