The cannon fodder just wants to survive until the end

Chapter 105 The Female Monk Wants to Ascend 8

After hearing Ming Huaixi say that her grandparents spoke so highly of the store, she stretched her neck proudly, and said with some pride, "Of course, we are honest in our store and will not cheat anyone."

"Big brother, my grandparents gave me some extra money before they left, and they said they wanted you to help deliver the things to our village. Just put them near the entrance to the village. My grandpa can't walk long distances, but he can still walk short distances. Do you think it's okay?"

She could just deliver it to a place not far from the village so that she could move it there herself. These things were not too much, nor too little, but it would take her half her life to walk such a long way to carry them back by herself.

The clerk scratched his head and said, "You have to wait for me to ask the shopkeeper. I can't leave the store easily, otherwise I will be fined."

After saying this, the waiter went to find the shopkeeper.

"Boss, there's a little customer outside. He's too young to carry those things, so he wants to hire someone from our store to deliver them. Do you think it's okay?"

The clerk walked up to the shopkeeper and explained the situation.

"Hmm? That's a good idea." Grain and oil are heavy. If some families have servants to buy them, it will be fine. If not, they can only carry them home with difficulty. If they only need to pay a little silver, they can travel easily. This is probably a good thing for the people in the town.

The shopkeeper's mind worked quickly, and soon he thought of a business opportunity, "I'll go take a look."

Well, the charging standard still depends on the length of the place. You can try it for a while. If it can be implemented, you can find two guys in the store to specialize in delivery in the future. That seems to be a good idea.

"My dear customer, you just said that you wanted to hire a shop assistant to send it back for you. May I know where your home is?" The shopkeeper had a face that showed one of shrewdness and calculation. When he smiled, people felt that they were being calculated by him.

"In Wudu Village, there's no need to send me to the village. My grandparents will pick me up near the village entrance." Ming Huaixi avoided the shopkeeper's face that looked like he was calculating, told him the name of the village, and emphasized that there was no need to send me to the house.

The shopkeeper frowned at first, then said with some embarrassment, "Young guest, Wudu Village is not very close."

"How much does it cost for one trip?" Ming Huaixi understood what this meant. It meant that he could deliver the goods but the money had to be enough.

"Well, my dear customer, you spent two taels of silver this time. How about this? We will give you a preferential price. You only need to pay thirty copper coins for this trip."

The shopkeeper first mentioned the amount of consumption, and then wanted to give Ming Huaixi a discount. It was so funny that this kind of thing had never happened in the store before, but the shopkeeper actually mentioned a discount. He really deserves to be the shopkeeper, his mind is so flexible.

Thirty copper coins is a lot. Many ordinary laborers in the city may have to work for a whole day to earn this much money.

"Okay." Ming Huaixi didn't want to worry about the amount of the fees. It would be better to send them back first. Thirty copper coins were not a lot for him.

The shopkeeper's mouth immediately opened wide, and he quickly called to the waiter, "Come, go and deliver the things to the designated location for this little customer."

The clerk was a bit honest, "But boss, I haven't finished my work yet."

"Aren't you going to come back and do it again? Go now!" The shopkeeper immediately became angry. He was really stubborn and inflexible.

Ming Huaixi led his men to a small road not far from the village. At this time, all the villagers had gone to work in the fields, so basically no one would pass by here.

"Big brother, please put the things under that tree. My grandparents will be here soon. You can go first."

Ming Huaixi felt that they had almost reached their destination, so he asked the waiter to put down his things and let him go back.

The guy walked to the tree and saw that the place was still some distance from the village. He scratched his head and was a little confused. He still asked, "Little sister, your place is still a little far from the village. How about I take you home? Anyway, I'm here, so I can take you home."

This guy is still very kind.

"No need, big brother. My grandparents and I have agreed to stop here and have someone escort us to the village. If anyone sees us, we will be criticized. You can just go ahead."

How could Ming Huaixi let him send her home? It was obvious that she had just lied.

"Okay then, I see your grandparents haven't come yet, I'll wait with you for a while." What a simple-minded young man.

Ming Huaixi refused again, "No need, big brother. Don't you have work to do in the store? Go back and do your work. It's not far from the village. You'll be fine."

The clerk thought that he indeed had a lot of work to do in the shop. If he didn't go back quickly to work, he wouldn't be able to finish it today and the boss would have to deduct his wages.

"Then little sister, I'm leaving first."

"Brother, hurry up and don't delay your business."

Ming Huaixi breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at the waiter's back and finally left. Then he shifted his gaze to those things, stood up and hung the things on his body.

"——Ugh! It's quite heavy."

At this time, Ming Huaixi was just glad that someone had delivered the things to him. If he had to get them home by himself, it would have been a lot of effort. Wouldn't it have cost him half his life?

I slowly moved home step by step and opened the door. "No, someone has been here."

Ming Huaixi felt that the door was not closed the way it was when he left, and normal wind would not blow like this, so someone must have been here.

Walking into the main room, Ming Huaixi saw an extra bowl of rice on the only table in the room. She immediately understood that someone had really been there. It was the village chief who came to bring her food.

Ming Huaixi was a little hungry, so this bowl of rice plus the roasted eggs made a rich dinner.

"Finally, I have a full meal." This was the first full meal Ming Huaixi had since he came to this world.

After dinner, Ming Huaixi washed the dishes and sent them back to the village chief’s house.

“——Dongdong.”

"Here I come." This time the village chief was at home.

"Grandpa Village Chief, I'm here to bring you the bowl." Ming Huaixi had a lot of respect for the village chief. He raised this unrelated person until he was two years old and brought him food for so many years. He had already done the greatest favor a village chief could do.

The village chief was a little dazzled at night. He only knew it was Ming Huaixi when he heard her voice. "Oh, it's Ming girl. By the way, I was just about to find a time to tell you something. The sect election in the cultivation world is coming up in a month. The immortals will go to Mengyi City to test the qualifications of children of appropriate age. The village will also organize people to go there in a few days. You are of the right age, so remember to report to me. I'll have someone take you there."

The village chief paused for a moment, fearing that Ming Huaixi didn't know what the world of cultivation was, so he explained, "You don't know about the world of cultivation yet, right? I haven't told you about it either. Now I'm going to tell you about it. Having the qualifications to cultivate immortality is really a great honor for your family.
