After escaping from famine, the evil stepmother was pampered by the villain Zaizai Tuan

The tea was served in a white stoneware bowl.

The tea soup is light yellow in color and slightly turbid.

Jiang Xiaohua picked it up, blew it, tasted a little, and couldn't help but frown slightly.

This tea has a bitter and astringent taste. You can only taste a hint of tea flavor when you first take it into the mouth. The aroma is fleeting and there is no aftertaste at all.

Not as good as the tea stall owner himself said.

Li Yuanzhi glanced at Jiang Xiaohua's expression and smiled knowingly, "Don't expect too much for three cents of tea."

"Just make do with it and drink."

The four little cubs still don’t know how to taste tea.

Just hold the bowl with both hands, blow on it and drink it as if it were hot water.

Liu Yong drank water and thought seriously.

He looked at the pedestrians coming and going, and gradually realized a truth.

Although you have to pay to set up a stall here, the price of each bowl of tea is three times that of outside.

The most important thing is that there are many tourists in the West City.

Whether you are a local or a businessman from afar, you will inevitably feel thirsty and tired after visiting for a long time.

It is inevitable to sit down at this tea stall and be willing to spend three pennies.

Jiang Xiaohua noticed that her eldest son was sometimes in a daze and sometimes nodded, so she asked with concern, "Yong'er?"

"What are you thinking about, so absorbed?"

Liu Yong turned to Jiang Xiaohua, his eyes burning, "Mom, after you arrive in the capital, do you plan to do business?"

Jiang Xiaohua had never seen such proactive energy in him before, and nodded with a smile:

"Yeah, you don't want to say that you want to help me, do you?"

Liu Yong was filled with joy and excitement, like a lost traveler who finally saw the town.

"I want to learn how to do business from my mother! I want to make money and support my family!"

"Of course! I will also listen to my mother and go to school and study hard!"

Jiang Xiaohua suppressed her smile and looked deeply at Liu Yong.

She could tell that the kid was serious.

So, she answered seriously, "Okay, as long as it doesn't delay your studies."

"I happen to be starting a business for my mother, and I need help."

Liu Yong couldn't believe that his wish came true.

"Seriously?"

"Of course it's true." Jiang Xiaohua said with a smile, "Others often say that father and son fight together."

"We are mother and son, we are the same."

"You are steady and careful in your work. If you are willing to help me, you will definitely save me a lot of worry!"

Liu Yong not only received permission, but also received affirmation.

He felt like he had never been so happy.

I don’t know when.

Liu Guang wanted to join the army and become a general.

Liu Ming wanted to study and take the imperial examination.

Xiao Miaomiao likes animals and wants to practice martial arts with her mother and become as powerful as her mother when she grows up.

Only Liu Yong, he never imagined what kind of person he wanted to be when he grew up.

He even envied his younger siblings.

Because their ideals sound lofty.

Only he is different from everyone else.

Whether he was in the village or escaped later.

Liu Yong's inner story has always been simple: protect his younger brothers and sisters, fill his stomach, and survive. Then one day they will grow up and be able to get rid of the vicious stepmother.

But during the escape, the stepmother suddenly seemed to be a different person.

All Liu Yong's wishes seemed to come true day and night.

He suddenly didn't know what else he really wanted to do, and his so-called wishes became unspeakably insignificant.

Fortunately, Mr. Li enlightened him and told him not to think too hard if he couldn't figure it out.

Maybe as you walk, at a certain moment, you will find what you really want to do.

At this moment, Liu Yong was extremely confident that he had found it.

He just wants to learn how to do business and make money.

Not only do I want to share the burden for my stepmother, but I also want to build a strong backing for the family so that my younger brothers and sisters don’t have to worry about money.

He was really interested in doing business and wanted to explore it on his own.

Liu Guang turned and stared at Liu Yong for a while, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Yong almost buried his face in the tea bowl and said loudly, "Hurry up and drink tea!"

"Three pennies a bowl, don't waste it!"

While no one was watching, Liu Yong blinked hard and forced back the overflowing tears.

The family finished drinking tea, Jiang Xiaohua paid the bill and was about to leave.

I heard a noise at the door of the wine shop across the street.

"You come to a restaurant to eat and drink when you have no money? I have to send you to the Yamen today!"

People saw the excitement and quickly gathered.

Through the crowd, I vaguely saw a man dressed as a scholar being grabbed and pushed by several waiters.

The scholar tried to argue, "I said, the money bag may have been lost on the road, it was not intentional."

The boss put his hands on his hips and sneered, "I ordered a table of dishes, had enough food and drinks, and then I remembered that I lost my money bag?"

"I've seen people like you a lot, and you just deliberately default on your debts!"

After the boss said this, he waved his hands to the several waiters, "Take him away quickly, we still have business to do!"

The scholar struggled to be dragged away, still shouting, "The student is not a deadbeat!"

"You can send someone home with me, and I will withdraw the money for you immediately!"

But the boss didn't believe it at all and spat on the ground, "I don't have time to play with you!"

Jiang Xiaohua poked Li Yuanzhi with her elbow.

"Hey, have you noticed that the scholar's voice is somewhat familiar?"

When the scholar opposite was dragged away, he just turned around.

It was Jiang Yuanheng who I met at the city gate yesterday evening.

Li Yuanzhi frowned slightly and finally started to walk over, "Wait!"

When Jiang Yuanheng saw Li Yuanzhi, he was surprised and said, "Brother? It's you!"

The owner of the wine shop came over and looked Li Yuanzhi up and down, "Do you know him?"

Jiang Yuanheng looked at Li Yuanzhi expectantly, like a puppy that was afraid of being abandoned by its owner.

Li Yuanzhi nodded and said to the wine shop owner, "I wonder how much money he owes you?"

The owner of the wine shop gestured with two fingers, "Five taels of silver!"

Liu Yong and Liu Guang, who followed later, heard this number and exclaimed, "So many?!"

You know, in their village, five taels of silver is enough for a large family to spend half a year.

This guy in front of me can actually earn five taels of silver by himself? !

The restaurant owner sneered, "This guy orders the best and most expensive dishes in our restaurant."

"I also want a pot of high-quality bamboo leaf green. The price is clearly marked at five taels of silver. I'm not cheating you!"

Jiang Yuanheng smiled awkwardly and said to Li Yuanzhi, "I really lost my money bag."

"Please help me advance the money, brother, and I will pay it back in full today!"

Li Yuanzhi also encountered difficulties at this time.

He himself is penniless, and Jiang Xiaohua probably has less than five taels of cash on hand, and he still has to support his family's expenses.

What should I do now?

During the stalemate, a slender hand stretched out and unfolded to reveal a bright pearl.

Jiang Xiaohua said, "Boss, let's see if we can use this thing as collateral."

People who can open a wine shop in Qincheng naturally have some discernment.

When the boss saw the pearl, his eyes lit up, "Oh, this is the real Dongzhu, it's just a little small."
