Chapter 168 Ningbao Goes to Earn Money to Support the Family

After accepting Ning Bao's fruit, the two guards seemed to have grown closer to her. They chatted for a while longer, and Ning Bao's eyes blinked as she looked at the guards.

"Brother, is Lanyu City fun? I've never seen such a big city before. I wonder if there are any interesting things to do here?"

The guard thought for a moment,

"There's not much to do with it. Lanyu City is just a little bigger than your hometown town. There are more shops, more people, and the roads are a little wider. But that's about it. It's just a place where you need money to buy things."

However, there is indeed one new thing...

The guard lowered his voice as he spoke.

"A strange thing has happened to the Zhang family in the city recently. I heard that the young master of the Zhang family has recently developed a frighteningly large appetite."

One meal can consist of ten pots of rice, twenty baskets of steamed buns, and eighteen tables of banquet food…

Ning Bao listened with a face full of admiration.

"He's amazing, he eats even more than Ningbao."

In Ningbao's memory, no one she knew had a bigger appetite than her. Her master always said that she could eat too much, and if one day their Sanqing Temple closed down, it must be because Ningbao had eaten the temple out of business.

Now that she heard that the young master of the Zhang family eats even more than she does, she immediately looked at him with admiration.

The guard smiled at Ning Bao.

"You little brat, how much have you eaten? There's something wrong with this young master Zhang acting like this all of a sudden."

I heard that the Zhang family consulted every doctor in the city, big and small, but they still couldn't find the cause. The young master of the Zhang family still ate as much as ever.

However, some elderly people say that the young master of the Zhang family is possessed by an evil spirit, and the Zhang family has posted a notice asking a master to exorcise the evil spirit from their young master…”

Exorcising evil spirits?

She's good at it!

Ning Bao was overjoyed.

"Brother, does the Zhang family have any money? Will there be any good food to offer for exorcising evil spirits for their young master?"

"There will definitely be a lot of money. The Zhang family is the richest family in Lanyu City. Even the prefect's mansion is not as wealthy as the Zhang family."

The Zhang family had already spread the word that they would reward anyone who cured their young master with a thousand taels of silver.

"A thousand taels? How many taels is a thousand taels? How many steamed buns can a thousand taels buy?"

Ningbao was seriously counting on her little hands.

"Hahaha!" The guard couldn't help but laugh at Ning Bao's adorable appearance.

"You little rascal, you're really something. With a thousand taels, you could not only buy steamed buns, but you could also buy several steamed bun shops."

So much? She wants to earn it!

"Young man, do you know how to get to the Zhang residence?"

"I know, the Zhang family is a wealthy household living on the east side. The Zhang family mansion has five courtyards..."

The guard was very talkative, and under Ningbao's persistent questioning, he clearly explained the location of the Zhang residence.

The time to open the city gates arrived. The gates opened from the inside, and a group of guards came out. The two guards then got busy.

Ning Bao returned to Mu Chunping and the others and recounted everything she had learned. When she heard about the Zhang family, Shen Junshan raised an eyebrow.

"Ningbao wants to go to the Zhang residence?"

Ning Bao's eyes were filled with admiration after hearing Shen Junshan's words.

"Uncle is amazing! I haven't even told you how you knew I wanted to go to the Zhang residence!"

"Just a guess." Shen Junshan glanced indifferently at the city gate.

"Your eyes light up when you talk about the Zhang family; it's obvious you're very interested in this matter."

Ning Bao didn't deny it; after all, she's always been someone who dares to take responsibility for her actions.

"Yes, I want to go. The Zhang family said they want to exorcise the evil spirits from that young master. They'll give you a thousand taels of silver if they succeed."

"A thousand taels! That's enough to buy so many eggs and so many steamed buns. No one will have to go hungry anymore."

Shen Junshan and Mu Chunping exchanged a glance; Mu Chunping was a little uneasy.

“Ningbao, are you capable of exorcising evil spirits? Are you sure you can do it? Maybe we shouldn’t go. You’re just a little kid, you don’t need to worry about money. Dad can support you.”

Ningbao frowned.

"Dad, Ningbao is a three-and-a-half-year-old big boy. He can earn money to support the family. Moreover, exorcising evil spirits is too easy for me. As long as I am sure it is the work of ghosts and evil spirits, there is nothing I cannot drive away."

I think I can make a profit on this thousand taels.

Mu Chunping was still a little hesitant, but Shen Junshan, seeing Ning Bao's excited face, couldn't help but speak up.

“Chunping, since Ningbao wants to go, let’s go with her. After we sell the game, we’ll split up. You and Jianfei will go to the city to buy things, and I’ll take Ningbao to the Zhang residence.”

Just as it was their turn to enter the city gate, Shen Junshan handed over the entrance fee for the group, and the guard glanced at Ning Bao and quietly slipped ten coins back into Ning Bao's hand.

Shen Junshan paused for a moment and silently put the copper coin away. It seemed that Ning Bao had chatted so much that he had even become acquainted with the guards.
