They had never seen such a neatly dressed, super cute pink baby group before. Just watching them talk and eat made them feel incredibly adorable and happy.
Further behind, even further back, was a girl, hanging in the distance, her face also filled with shock.
Along the way, Xiao Youran led the little milk team in a competition to eat lampwick cakes, radish cakes, pine nut cakes, fried meatballs, and more...
Anyway, the onlookers just watched them eat, and seeing how cute and adorable they were, they also felt their appetites increase. Not only did they follow them to the owner's stall, but they also very consciously threw their reward money at their feet, regardless of whether they were lined up in a row or in a circle. It was fine as long as they threw it at their feet.
This scene made Wen Yuanbai's eyes twitch.
Are all the people of Wufeng County this wealthy? They can just throw away reward money like that?
What he didn't know was that everyone who went to the lantern festival on the fifteenth of the first lunar month carried some money with them; they were just there for fun! If they enjoyed the show, they could tip the patrons—wasn't that wonderful?
Besides, some ordinary people can make a living on a regular basis, but they never go to listen to operas or storytelling, and they have never had the opportunity to openly tip others. Now, they can hide in the crowd and throw a few coins to express their love for the little ones, receive their adorable thanks, and satisfy their vanity, which is something they rarely get in their daily lives. How could they not be happier?
After strolling around for about half an hour, Xiao Youran finally felt tired. She saw a stall selling "Pearl and Jade Dumplings" and immediately ran over to sit at the large round table in front of them.
The other five little ones also climbed onto the table quite automatically.
Xiao Youran waved to Yun Tiankuang and Jiang Youchen, saying with dissatisfaction, "Brothers, you're wearing Gai Gang uniforms, so you're members of Gai Gang! If you keep going like this, people will think you have some issues with the gang leader, or that you've been expelled from Gai Gang!"
The two rolled their eyes in unison and slowly sat down at the table.
They may be unwilling, but it wouldn't do if outsiders mistakenly thought they were having a falling out!
As the little milk group started eating the glutinous rice balls, copper coins and silver coins began to be thrown into the middle of their table.
really!
Why do people give tips when they're just casually eating a snack?!
Jiang Youchen was speechless.
Da Shan weighed the increasingly heavy money bag, made from a blanket, on his back, and felt somewhat numb.
When they finished eating and left, the once empty shop was now packed with customers.
The shop owner waved goodbye to them with great reluctance, saying, "Our shop is open every day, please come often!"
Little Youran patted her round belly; she couldn't eat anymore...
Looking at the little ones with concern, Madam Yu suggested, "Why don't we go to the teahouse across the street and sit down for a while?"
Xiao Youran nodded vigorously, "Okay, okay! Baby's tired!"
The Yu family and their entourage entered the teahouse in a grand manner, and Xiao Youran saw that a dozen or so commoners who had been following them also entered the teahouse.
Hehehe.
I've truly become a fan after just watching!
Mrs. Yu wanted the babies to rest well, so she asked for a large private room.
Xiao Youran didn't forget her senior brother Da Bai, who was in a wheelchair, and specially asked Nan Zhuo to bring the entire wheelchair in.
Once inside, Xiao Youran climbed onto the armchair and slumped down, refusing to move.
When Da Shan entered the room, he was studying how such a large room only had a small square table. He felt it was a waste of space and wished he could have a round table with a rotating turntable like the one in Chen Ge'er's drawings.
Xiao Shan excitedly rushed to Da Shan, "Daddy, quickly put down the money bag, we want to count it!"
"Oh, oh." Da Shan came to his senses and quickly put the money bag he was carrying on the table.
They poured it all out, leaving a table full of broken silver and copper coins.
Not only Yun Tiankuang and Jiang Youchen, but even the Yu family was stunned.
How did the little milk babies manage to earn so much money by eating their way up?
What kind of world is this?
Xiao Youran spread her hands and said, "First separate the silver coins and copper coins, then count how many copper coins there are."
At his command, the little ones excitedly climbed onto the table and began dividing the money.
In order to weigh the silver, Madam Yu went downstairs to ask the shopkeeper for a steelyard, and also instructed him to order two pots of the finest tea, to be brought up in a quarter of an hour.
Soon the broken silver and copper coins were separated, and Xiao Youran then directed the group to start counting the copper coins.
Yu put the broken silver on the scale, and was shocked by what she found.
There were nearly seven taels of loose silver alone.
Da Shan also joined in counting the coins, and with the help of the older Yun Tiankuang and Jiang Youchen, the number of coins was quickly calculated.
There were over 2,300 copper coins, which is equivalent to more than two taels of silver.
In just one hour, the little milkmen earned ten taels of silver.
Da Shan was shocked. He couldn't even save ten taels of silver in a whole year!
After Xiao Youran had the numbers, she began to distribute the money. She first said to Yu Shi and Da Shan with a smile, "Fourth Aunt, Uncle Da Shan, you are the elders, so we won't share this money with you."
The two officials naturally had no objections and quickly nodded in agreement, saying, "Look at what you're saying, would we be after such a small amount of money?"
Soon after, the eight members of the Little Milk Team each received one tael of silver plus two hundred copper coins. The last person didn't have enough silver, so he had to carry several hundred copper coins.
Moreover, after eating a series of stones, the person who got the most little red flowers also received an extra hundred copper coins.
Xiao Shan cried with excitement, stuffing the loose silver and copper coins into his father's hands, "Daddy, Daddy! Xiao Shan can earn money now!"
The fifth and sixth children excitedly rushed into Madam Yu's arms, "Mommy, babies can earn money now! Mommy, you have to buy me delicious pine nut candy and chocolate!"
Ms. Yu was both amused and exasperated.
When Shi Tou and Er Wa saw this, they burst into tears. Since their parents were not around, the two brothers could only hug each other and cry.
After crying, Erwa asked in a daze, "Big brother, how many steamed buns can one tael of silver buy?"
Nan Zhuo, who was watching the show from the sidelines, plopped down on the floor.
You've earned more than one tael of silver in an hour, an income level far exceeding that of people of all ethnic groups across the country, and you're still thinking about buying a one-coin bun? You're really something!
But Shi Tou was still counting on his fingers, "One tael of silver is one thousand coins, and a bun is one coin each... So you can buy a thousand buns?"
Nan Zhuo: Hehehe, if you collect a thousand in one go, you might get a free gift.
"Wow!" Erwa's eyes sparkled as he looked at Xiao Youran with adoration. "Guild Leader, Guild Leader, you're the most amazing guild leader!"
