Chapter 309 - 309 Line Up

309 Line Up

There were many books stacked on the table, and whoever set up a stall and paid for it was recorded on them.

There were many small wooden tablets hanging behind the table. These wooden tablets could be separated in half. The specific location of the stall was written on the wooden tablets. Only half of the tablets could be taken away, and the other half would hang in the store.

“If you don’t set up a stall anymore, or if the date of payment is up, you have to bring the wooden plate back and hang it with the other half of the wooden plate. Only when you make sure that you can open up the shop will you be given half of the wooden plate again.”

The town was neither large nor small, and there were neither too many nor too few stalls. However, there was only one place for the stall owners to collect the license plates. When Jiang Yue and Xue Yan arrived, there were two long queues. There were those who were waiting to collect the license, terminate the license, or pay the money.

They couldn’t tell which line would be faster, so Jiang Yue and Xue Yan each stood in one team at the back.

After a while, another person stood behind them. If the people in front moved a little, they would follow.

In the end, it was Jiang Yue’s queue of almost three people left. Seeing that there was only one person left, Jiang Yue turned to Xue Yan, who quickly came out of his line and handed the money to Jiang Yue for her to collect the license and pay.

The two of them were tall, but they were children. They were the only children present, and the rest were adults. They were very eye-catching in the line.

Perhaps the person who dealt with the cards and made the books was someone from the government. There were clearly many people in line, but no one dared to cut the line, nor did anyone dare to cause trouble.

Jiang Yue and Xue Xiao had a smooth process.

“Hello, I want to get a license.” The table was a little high, so Jiang Yue had to stand on her tiptoes. “I’d like to pay for two months.”

The official, who was sitting opposite her and holding a brush in his hand, was stunned for a moment before he smiled at the person beside him. “I don’t know which family sent this baby girl to pay the money, but she looks quite clever, doesn’t she?”

The person next to him was engrossed in memorizing things. When he heard this, he took a look and felt that it was novel. He immediately smiled and said, “This girl looks so pretty, she must be from Xue’s Rice Noodle store. I went there this morning to ask them to pay, but they weren’t there yet, so I asked someone to tell them the new news. They come in a pair. A golden boy and a fair girl.” He glanced at Xue Yan who was not far from Jiang Yue and continued with a smile, “That should be him!”

“Yes, it should be.” The person who was facing Jiang Yue nodded and smiled. “Do you know the exact location of your stall?” he asked Jiang Yue.

“Yes. It’s over there.” Jiang Yue said.

“Very clever!” That person laughed. “Two months will be six hundred coins. Do you have six hundred coins?”

“Here.” Jiang Yue held the 600 coins in her hands and placed them on the table.

That person counted and matched the numbers before he smiled again. “Wait a minute. I’ll note down your family’s name first. I’ll get you the license after I’ve noted them down.

“Thank you,” Jiang Yue said.

“No need to thank me.” The man laughed. He felt that this baby girl was really cute and it immediately lightened his mood.

After he finished writing in the booklet, the man got up and found the sign for the position of the shop among the many cards hanging behind him.

This was a new sign. There was no sign like this before because there was no business before. If it wasn’t for Sifu’s rice noodle business there, it would be unreasonable for them not to pay. It also encouraged the stalls around Sidu’s shop to be more lively!
