Chapter 11: Becoming Illiterate?

Further south, the environment is better, the house is wider, there is a small courtyard surrounded by a fence, there are some vegetables planted in it for weekday eating, the people who love to clean up also plant one or two bushes of flowers and trees for the four seasons, and some people also raise donkeys and mules.

Further south, there are two streets that are more prosperous, with grocery grain and oil stores and vegetable markets.

However, the people who consume here are all small people, and the main street in the center of the city is the most prosperous place in Qiongzhou City, and the best shops and restaurants in the city are all there, but they are not affordable for ordinary people.

The vegetable market was crowded and bustling, and Mo Qiqi walked slowly behind an aunt who was carrying a basket to buy vegetables, inspecting the consumption level here.

In winter, there are few kinds of vegetables, just some radish and cabbage, the price is not cheap or expensive, most of them are one or two pennies and a catty, ginger, onion and garlic are more expensive, between three and five wen. One penny for eggs, one pound for pork fat, nine wen for lean, five wen with bones, two for coarse grains, and five wen for fine grains.

One thousand copper coins for one tael of silver, and ten taels of silver for one tael of gold.

Mo Qiqi has twenty taels of gold, forty-five taels of silver, which is equivalent to two hundred and forty-five taels of silver, and one hundred and three dollars in change, but it is a huge amount of money, according to this consumption level, it is enough for her to spend until she grows up, I didn't expect yesterday's harvest to be so big.

In this way, she doesn't have to worry about where to get money anymore, she is so old, she wants to make money and doesn't want to be suspected, except for begging, she is cheated and deceived.

The pressure of life was solved, and she didn't want to do such things that made her feel uncomfortable.

Even the third lady who deceived the Li family yesterday had no choice but to do it, after all, she had been squatting there for so long, analyzing a lot of people, before picking her hand, Mo Qiqi had already decided in her heart that she would repay her if she had the ability to do it in the future.

[Ding! Start the task - repay Miss Liu San's kindness. Cultivators should pay attention to the reincarnation of cause and effect, and although Miss Liu San is a casual effort, she has solved the host's urgent needs, and this favor must be repaid. 】

[Yes|No Mission?]

It seems that the system also thinks that she will enter the immortal path sooner or later, and the cause and effect are not good, and she has specially sent out a task.

【Quest accepted!】

The player accepts the task - repaying Miss Li San's kindness. 】

【Quest Reward-Silver Two*100】

As the day grew, the vegetable sellers in the morning market gradually closed their stalls, the vendors selling snacks and groceries continued to take over, and the shops on both sides of the street also opened their doors, and Mo Qiqi picked a blacksmith shop and walked in.

The owner of the blacksmith shop was a strong man in his thirties and forties, and he made some pots, shovels, kitchen knives, wood knives, scissors, hoes and put them in the store to sell, and also took on the work of ordering.

Do business pay attention to a good start, think more, if the first business in the day is not successful, that day, the whole day, will be bad business, see her a child, think just walked to the store, so delay the first business, naturally not happy.

Mo Qiqi pointed at the scissors: "Boss, how much is this?"

When the boss saw her asking for the price, although he didn't think she would buy it, he also replied in line with the principle of making money with kindness: "One hundred and twenty wen, open a business, and don't bargain." ”

In this era, productivity is low, the price of iron is estimated to be not cheap, and the process of scissors is also complicated, so this price should not be too outrageous.

She rummaged through a frame of scissors, picked out the smallest one, no way, the scissors at this time were quite big, and there was no small one like her.

"I want this. ”

I didn't expect her to really buy it, it must have been sent by her family to run errands, but the blacksmith was a sincere person: "Little girl, this scissors are small, whether they are beaten with leftovers, or big scissors are easy to use." He was worried that the little girl liked it, so he picked the small one, and when he went back, his aunt was afraid that she would scold people.

"Just this one, boss, let's cut it. ”

When the blacksmith saw that she insisted, he didn't persuade her, but said: "This scissor uses less iron, but it can give you a cheaper, so he will charge you 110 yuan." ”

With that, he took the scissors and went to the grinding stone next to him.

She still had one hundred and three copper coins, but if she gave them all, there would be no change, and a little doll was too conspicuous to spend the silver, and after thinking about it, she took out the three coins and broken silver.

Originally, she also wanted to buy a dagger or something like a weapon, but the only knives in this place were kitchen knives and scissors, and she could barely use scissors.

The blacksmith washed and dried the scissors with water, smeared some oil on the forks, and when he saw that she was young, he was afraid that she would hurt himself, and wrapped the edges of the scissors together with strips of cloth.

Mo Qiqi took the scissors, handed the three coins of broken silver to the blacksmith, the blacksmith weighed it with a small scale, and found her one hundred and ninety wen, which was really childish.

Two strings of money, carrying it heavily in his arms, Mo Qiqi found a corner where no one was, left a string of flowers with ninety wen, and threw the other string into the backpack with scissors.

Then she bought a lot of things piecemeal, needlework, oil and salt, chopsticks, spoons, small casseroles, she bought a small quantity, the same as the same buy, after buying it, she picked a corner of no one and put it in the backpack, others thought that the family instructed him to run errands, and it was not too eye-catching.

Looking east and west, it was noon, and I ate a bowl of delicious beef noodles at the stall, and rested by the way, planning to go shopping in the west of the city in the afternoon.

After visiting a lot of shops in the morning, she suddenly found a problem.

She doesn't seem to be literate!

The text in the guide given by the system is all simplified Chinese characters that she learned in her previous life, and the annotations in the map are also simplified characters, but the physical characters on the store are not like this.

For example, in the Deshun grocery store in front, the five characters on the plaque hanging at the door of the store are both like deed text and traditional Chinese characters, but they are slightly different, in short, she doesn't seem to recognize each one.

She also wondered if the owner of this grocery store was a maverick, and looked around the street, but where there were plaques, couplets, and inscriptions on the archway, they were basically all of this kind of words, but now she has been relying on the map and has not paid too much attention.

It seems that after solving the problem of food and clothing, the problem of literacy should also be put on the charter, but I don't know if the writing and secular in the (true) (world) world are universal?

【Ding!The player found that he regretted his shortcomings, and decided to change his life to learn words and study, and started the task: reading and writing (1)]

[Yes|No Mission?]

She doesn't want to complain about the writing ability of the system god anymore, thinking that this kind of thing should not be produced by the earth, machine translation is a pit, she can understand.
