After time travel, I ate glutinous rice bran in ancient times

"Uncle, just go ahead and buy some candied haws. My wife is sick and is waiting for me to sell some money to buy medicine!" Just as Wang Yugui was about to refuse, the old lady complained first.

Wang Yugui looked at the old lady up and down. She indeed looked poor. There were several big patches sewn on her shabby coat!

"Uncle, how many grandchildren do you have at home? How many bunches of candied haws do you want? Is five bunches enough?" Seeing Wang Yugui's hesitation, the old lady hurriedly asked while the iron was hot.

Wang Yugui smiled and thought: I don’t have any grandchildren yet, but I do have two younger sisters who love to eat candied haws!

Forget it, just help this old lady.

Wang Yugui asked: "Auntie, you have sold out all the candied haws, how much can you sell for it?"

"Hey, to be honest, brother, these candied haws on a stick are what I left last night, and there aren't many left in this stick."

"I, I haven't had time to do it today. I have three pennies per string, and there are twenty strings left in total. How much is the total..." The aunt was obviously not good at arithmetic, so she calculated the account with her fingers.

Wang Yugui smiled: "The total is sixty cents. Madam, your price is a bit expensive. Others are selling it for two cents a string, so why are you selling it for three cents a string?"

"Oh, brother, haven't you seen that my candied haws on a stick are bigger than others?"

"The hawthorn fruits I use are larger than others. Because of this, they are more expensive," the old lady explained.

Wang Yugui took a look and saw that the candied haws on a stick seemed quite big, but the three cents were still expensive.

Wang Yugui said: "Auntie, let's do this. I'll give you two coins per string, twenty strings, a total of forty coins."

"I want all these candied haws of yours, so just give me this pole as well, otherwise I won't be able to get it!"

When the old lady heard that a total of forty coins could be sold, she immediately nodded: "Okay, brother, I'll sell them all to you."

"I, after selling the money, I have to go to the drugstore to buy medicine for my wife. I don't have time to sell it slowly!"

Wang Yugui stopped talking nonsense and immediately paid forty coins to the old lady.

"Brother, I will come to sell candied haws on this street the day after tomorrow. If you finish eating, you can come to me to buy again." The old lady said to Wang Yugui before leaving.

Wang Yugui smiled: "Okay, aunt, I understand!"

The old lady took the money and walked away, saying to herself: "This old man may have a mental problem. I asked him to buy a few strings, and he bought all the poles at once."

"He also always calls me auntie, as if he is a young boy. His hair has turned white, so he is obviously an old man too!"

……

The reason why Wang Yugui suddenly wanted to buy all the old lady's candied haws-lub connecting rods.

Firstly, it was to help the old lady, and secondly, he suddenly thought that if he walked around in front of the Ling Mansion empty-handed, it would easily arouse suspicion, so he might as well pretend to be a candied haws seller!

When Wang Yugui rushed to the door of Ling's Mansion, he found that the door of Ling's Mansion was wide open today and there were two young men guarding the door.

Wang Yugui observed from a distance for a while, but did not see any movement of family members of the Ling Mansion going out. He couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the information provided by the second brother was wrong?

Well, it’s better to go and find out for yourself!

Wang Yugui cleared his throat, walked to the door of Ling's Mansion, and asked in a rough voice: "Brothers, didn't they say that Ling's family has a sacrificial activity today? Why is it so quiet and deserted in front of the door?"

The two boys looked at Wang Yugui, then looked at each other, and laughed!

A young man said: "Old man, are you old and have a bad memory?"

"Our Ling family's sacrificial activities are all held in the family temple, not in the mansion!"

"You, if you want to see it, you should go to Yongchuan Temple to see it."

"Oh, yes, yes, it will be held in the temple. Look at my memory." Wang Yugui answered hurriedly.

He raised his head and looked at Ling's mansion again: "You two brothers, that's not right either!"

"Then when will the sacrificial ceremony begin? It's already this hour. Why haven't the people in your house gone out to the family temple to prepare?"

"Oh, old man, I think you should go sell your candied haws. If you don't have a clear mind, don't join in the fun." A boy laughed.

Another boy also laughed and said: "Oh, old man, the ladies, gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen in our mansion left for Yongchuan Temple at five o'clock in the morning. How can we wait until now!"

"The sacrificial ceremony started at three o'clock in the morning, and it's already Chen hour. I just went out now, and the day lilies are already cold!"

"Ah, it started at 3:30? Then, when will it end? I also want to grab some cakes and money," Wang Yugui asked hurriedly

A boy said: "Old man, the Shenshi period will end at three quarters. You can sell out the candied haws first, and then grab the cakes and money!"

"Yes, old man, you have such a stick of candied haws on a stick, and you won't be able to grab the money for the pastries! Don't let others snatch your candied haws on a stick!" Another boy said with a smile.

Wang Yugui nodded hurriedly and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, little brother, what you said makes sense."

"Hey, since it's only three o'clock in the morning, I will go to the street to sell the candied haws."

"Go back to the temple and grab some more cakes and money, so that my old lady will be happy too!"

"Haha, this old man still knows how to love his wife." A young man laughed after hearing Wang Yugui's words.

Another boy also laughed: "Old man, let me tell you, in fact, you don't have to compete with those young people."

"You can wait until they finish grabbing, and then go to the temple to beg for some. When they see an old man like you, the masters in the temple will give you some pastries!"

"Really? That's great. Oh, Master Ling is so kind to the elderly. He is such a kind man!" Wang Yugui flattered Master Ling.

The compliment was naturally appreciated. A boy smiled and said, "That's natural. We in the Ling family have always done good deeds!"

"Old man, please go quickly and don't waste your time in front of our door." Another boy also said with a smile.

Wang Yugui nodded repeatedly: "Okay, thank you two brothers, otherwise, I would still be waiting here!"

"Oh, I'm getting older and my memory is bad!"

"Fortunately for a wealthy family like Ling Mansion, even the doorman is so kind and a good person!"

Wang Yugui put on makeup and stood up to the scene, and his mouth was even better. Before leaving, he even praised the two janitors.

"Hey, this old man is quite interesting" a boy laughed

Another boy also laughed: "Yes, it's not easy for the old man to come out and sell candied haws with his hair turning white!"

The two boys were discussing when suddenly Wang Yugui appeared in front of them again and asked sincerely: "You two boys, do you want to buy candied haws on a stick?"

“Two Wen per skewer, big and delicious!”

The two boys looked confused, and one boy smiled awkwardly and said: "Uncle, why did you sell it to us..."

"Old man, we are on duty. If you don't want to buy candied haws, you should go to Zhengqian Street to sell them. There are many people there." Another boy said with a helpless smile.

"Hey, okay, I'll be leaving then. If you want to eat candied haws, go to Zhengqian Street to find me."

Wang Yugui deliberately turned around and teased them.
