C14 Found Something New

After she finished speaking, she no longer paid attention to Mrs. Zhang. With a sad face, she lowered her head and touched the shiny head of a child, "Children, have you had enough? This Mrs. Zhang does not appreciate it. She does not want me to take care of her business. After drinking, there is no more to drink here!"

"I have had enough!" The children wiped their snot again and wiped their snot on the cart or on the chopping board.

Mrs. Zhang's eyes turned green when she saw this. She had already started to use sticks, "You little brats, wipe your snot again for me. I won't beat you guys to death today!"

The children were so scared that they turned around to run. Xu Yao said faintly, "Mrs. Zhang, be careful that Governor sees you again. At this time, there will not be any staff coming to help you."

Mrs. Zhang's hand that was holding the stick stiffened. She looked left and right like a thief, afraid that Governor would come out of nowhere again.

She did not see anyone and was about to let out a sigh of relief when she turned her head and felt dizzy.

"Little bastard, how dare you kick my water down! I must teach you a lesson today!" With a loud shout, Xu Yao saw a pile of fat things coming from the back of the cart.

Xu Yao clapped her hands, "Children, run!"

Slurp! The kids split up and ran in different directions. Soon, they were nowhere to be seen.

Unable to find anyone, Mrs. Zhang could only vent her anger on Xu Yao. The stick in her hand went straight for her.

"Xu Yao, how dare you deliberately come and find trouble today. Don't even think that I will let you off so easily!"

"Governor!" Xu Yao's eyes widened. She pointed behind her and suddenly shouted.

Mrs. Zhang stopped moving and put away the stick in an instant. She turned around and wanted to bow, but when she looked around, other than the passerby who was watching a good show, there was no Governor.

"Xu Yao!" A heart-wrenching roar resounded through the sky.

Xu Yao had already crawled into the crowd. Relying on her small stature, she had the advantage. Soon they were gone, too, and then they went into a small alley.

There were more than a dozen children with runny noses waiting for her there.

"Not bad. Well done. Who kicked her bucket just now? Stand out and I'll give you a good tip!" Xu Yao said with a smile.

Then she saw the kid with shiny hair stand out and sniffled, "It's me!"

After handing out the promised reward to the kids, Xu Yao hummed a song and jumped home. She spent about 30 copper coins and breathed a sigh of relief. It was worth it!

It was said that Mrs. Zhang was so angry that she jumped up and down. Her emotions were unstable. When she pushed the cart back, she was stunned and fell to the ground. This fall made her unable to get out of bed for a few days.

Selling Sprite was no longer possible and Xu Yao started to think of other ways to earn money.

When she was wandering around the mountain, she really found a good thing - Macaque Peaches!

Mrs. Xu said that the villagers did not find anything to eat and probably did not know this thing. When they saw that it was covered in fur, perhaps these people were afraid.

She brought it home and discussed with her mother. Then, she came up with a plan. She bought a Macaque Peach and gave her a glass of Sprite! The cost of Sprite was not high anyway. The Macaque Peach was picked on the mountain. It was everywhere. What was she afraid of?

After she made up her mind, she went out with her mother the next day with her things.

"Come, come, come, take a walk and take a look. I bought Macaque Peaches once and gave me a glass of Sprite!"

Once the stall was set up, Xu Yao shouted. When she heard Sprite, the people who had not had a drink for a few days immediately surrounded her.

"You want to buy something for Sprite? Is there such a good thing?"

"Don't lie, right?"

Xu Yao stepped on the stool with one foot and rolled up her sleeves to point at the macaque peach in the basket backpack, "Do you see it? Everything is here. Why would I lie to you? As long as I buy that thing, I will give you a glass of Sprite!"

"What is that thing? It's covered in fur, and it's used to soak water?"

"It's a Macaque Peach. It's used for eating. But you can also soak water if you like!" Xu Yao explained with a smile.

Eat? Are you using something covered in fur to eat? It looks much more terrifying than peaches. Will it kill you if you eat it?"

Then look at me eat one and see if I'm dead or not! " Xu Yao patiently picked one up and ate it in front of them. Then she quietly waited for a while and wiped the water off her body. "See, I'm not dead. I'm still alive, right?"

Someone frowned and thought. She went forward, "That's true. You are indeed not dead. Maybe this will not eat the dead. What kind of peach do you think this is called? "

Xu Yao could not smile normally anymore, "Yes, I am not dead. Please remember, this is called Macaque Peach."

"What?!" Someone cried out, "Monkey?! Monkey turned into a peach? So horrifying?"

Xu Yao's eyelids twitched when she asked three questions in a row. She took a deep breath and said," This is not a monkey. This is a kind of peach. If you guys insist, it has another name. It is called the strange fruit. This does not sound so scary anymore, right? "

"What is so strange about it? Can it turn into a monkey after eating it?"

Xu Yao explained until her mouth was parched. She almost could not control herself slapping the table and roaring. At least, she suppressed the impatience in her heart and continued, "This is a peach, a fruit, not an immortal pill. It heats off the heat and is sweet and sour. It is most suitable to be used on summer days. Together with Sprite, the elderly and children love to eat it!"

She tried to persuade him for a long time, but no one was interested in buying it. Someone had bought a glass of Sprite directly.

In one day, apart from selling dozens of glasses of Sprite, not a single Macaque peach was sold!

Xu Yao started to think about life again. She looked up at the sky at 45 degrees and her eyes were blurry.

"How did you get this?"

Hmm? Someone who knows what's good is coming!

Xu Yao swept her gaze over. She had just prepared a stomach full of promotional words, but when she saw this person, she immediately choked.

"Why are you looking at me? Don't you know how to greet an adult?" Yan Jingyuan reminded her in a faint voice.

Xu Yao coughed and bowed. "Xu Yao greets my lord. Do you know this thing?"

"You lass. Speaking of words, you are very cultured. Do you know how to read?" Yan Jingyuan looked at her with interest and did not answer her question.

"I only know a little." Xu Yao smiled humbly and continued to ask, "Do you know this thing?"

Yan Jingyuan straightened his body and looked away from the Macaque peach. He nodded slightly, "Yes. This is the fruit offered by the foreigners. The people in the palace like to eat it. They buy it at a high price in the foreigners, so the people do not know where you got it from."

"The people in the palace?" Xu Yao's eyes lit up. If the sales target became a high-ranking official, then the money would be doubled!
