In the year of disaster, the tough peasant girl is not easy to mess with

Chatting with others is not as important as catching bugs.

If this bad bug is not caught, this year's harvest will be over.

This insect also likes to burrow into their paddy fields. As soon as the seedlings are planted, I don’t know if they will bite them off.

The big pliers on its hands are very painful when it pinches people!

If it gets caught on a seedling, it will break immediately.

When Ye Lingyao saw that they didn't answer, she walked up to a kind-faced lady and gave her ten coins, "Mom, can I talk to you about ten coins?"

The aunt's face was a little sad. Instead of taking the coin, she sighed, looked at her and said, "Girl, if you have anything to do, just ask. After asking, we have caught so many bugs, and we don't know when we can catch them." It’s over, alas…”

Ye Lingyao couldn't help but put the copper plate into his arms, "Auntie, take it and I'll ask a few questions."

In the end, the aunt didn't push back the copper plate in her hand, "Okay, then you can ask."

Ye Lingyao still had the same question as before, "You have caught these bugs, what are you going to do with them? Are you going to bury them? Or kill them with medicine?"

"How can we bury it? This thing can be digged out of the soil. It's useless to bury it. At the beginning, some people used a shovel to beat them to death, but that was too sinful. There were so many bugs that they couldn't be shot. Now, we can only arrest him first, and the village chief will buy medicine to kill him."

"Did the government ask you to do this?"

After listening to what the two said, some people wanted to join in the fun and came over to chat with them.

"Isn't it because the government asked us to do this? Otherwise, where can we buy medicine?"

Ye Lingyao nodded, "Uncles and aunts, let's do this. Instead of killing them all, why don't you sell them to me?"

Everyone looked at her in surprise, full of incomprehension.

"Girl, what do you want with these bugs?"

Ye Lingyao just smiled and said, "Just tell me whether to sell it or not. Anyway, everyone knows this bug, and I can't do anything bad. Besides, you all have to get rid of it anyway, so you can sell it to me." If you deal with it, you can also exchange it for some silver. Isn’t this killing two birds with one stone?”

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing whether to agree or refuse.

"Girl, isn't it thankless for you to do this? How can you kill two birds with one stone?"

Ye Lingyao sighed helplessly.

The vigilance is quite high. There is no such thing as a free lunch, so one should be on guard.

She also smiled and said, "These bugs cost ten coppers per pound. If you think about it, just catch these bugs and keep them. I will come back in the future. If you don't want to, then Take care of it yourself, but what I want is alive, and you can’t drug them or hurt them, otherwise, I don’t want them.”

After saying that, just as she was about to leave, the baggage in her hand was scratched.

She looked at the crayfish that fell on the ground with a black head, a little speechless.

The quality of this cloth is really bad!

Look at her little baby being thrown!

But now that she had nothing to take, she could only buy two baskets of crayfish from the villagers, and then went back after catching two baskets of crayfish.

Jin Furong had been on the carriage and did not dare to get off. Seeing Ye Lingyao coming over with two baskets of crayfish, she was so frightened that she hurriedly retracted into the carriage.

"Miss, don't come over here!"

Ye Lingyao was a little embarrassed and hurriedly put the basket back, "Fu Rong, don't be afraid. I won't take the things to the carriage. I'll just put them on the edge. The basket has a lid. I'm watching from the outside. I won't let it go." It ran out, so you can sit inside without any worries."

Jin Hibiscus replied with a trembling voice, "Okay? Okay."

Ye Lingyao sat outside holding two baskets, feeling silly and happy.

The coachman drove the carriage, and the three of them returned to the capital all the way.

Ye Lingyao took her things directly back to the inn. Later she would buy a pot from the inn and cook a delicious meal.

No one here knows what crayfish is, just like golden hibiscus, they are either afraid of it or avoid it.

So she wouldn't cook something in someone else's pot and eat it, otherwise it would violate a taboo.

But as soon as she returned to the inn with her things, Yan Da came looking for her.

Ye Lingyao said excitedly, "Shopkeeper Yan, has the house matter been settled?"

Yan Da nodded, "Let me tell you, the courtyard has been found. Not far from the Gongyuan, across the street, there is a courtyard with three entrances. The courtyard is not big, but it is quiet and elegant enough, which meets the requirements of the lady. .”

Ye Lingyao was instantly happy, "Have you agreed on the price? When can the property deed be transferred?"

Yan Da took out a document from his arms and said, "Miss, this is the deed of the house in that yard. The house I went to see in the morning was transferred to the government on the spot. The price is also very suitable, 5000 taels."

Ye Lingyao took a deep breath in her heart.

His uncle’s is so expensive!

Her heart is bleeding!

It's okay, don't panic, don't panic, isn't it just 5 taels?You can earn it back soon, don't feel bad about such a small amount of money!

But it’s really expensive!

Her heart was in turmoil, but she remained calm on her face as she took the house deed, and her name was written on it.

She always felt that her hands were shaking a little when she took it.

"Thank you for your hard work, Manager Yan. I wonder how the renovations are going over there? When can we move there?"

Yan Da smiled and said, "I sent someone to clean up the main courtyard in the afternoon. Miss, you can move there tonight and live here for now. A craftsman will come to the house tomorrow and rearrange it according to Miss's preferences. .”

"I feel sorry for you to have to stay here during this period, but don't worry, I've personally watched all the utensils inside and replaced them with new ones, so you can rest assured."

Ye Lingyao was very satisfied, "Thank you so much, Manager Yan. I happen to have something to do tonight and it's not convenient for me to be at the inn, so let's move there now."

Yan Da didn't know what happened to her, but as a subordinate, whatever the master said was what he said, and he shouldn't ask more questions.

So he followed them in two carriages, one behind the other, to the newly purchased house.

The house had just been bought and the plaque hadn't been put up yet, but it was quite clean inside.

It can be seen that the owner of the previous family took great care of it, and the scenery in the yard is quiet and pleasant, making people feel comfortable physically and mentally.

The house is neither new nor old. It can be renovated when the time comes, but it is not a big project.

She finally felt a little more comfortable.

Being able to own her own house in the capital means that she no longer has to live in an inn, and can be regarded as having a small home here.

It will be even more lively when the second brother comes in a few days.
