Chapter 3 I still have to get up early today
The sun was rising very high, but Chen Yue still slept in bed and couldn't get up. The pen and fun pavilion www.biquge.info spent a lot of mental and physical strength last night, and only hid things in the cracks of the wall. And he lay down and rested.
It wasn't until the afternoon that I woke up hungry. I hurriedly went to the front street baked cake shop and asked for six fires, a plate of pickles, and a pot of tea.
There are several baked cake shops in the town, he likes to come to this front street one the most, selling baked cakes has long been familiar, surnamed Li, Chen Yue does not tell him any etiquette, only called the baked cake Li, and when he is polite, he is called Li shopkeeper.
Guy is very calculating, never takes credit, and doesn't care what others call him, as long as the price is clear, he is happy.
Chen Yue put the silver money he got last night in his money bag. When the two small ingots of gold are free, they will go to the county to melt them. Already hiding at home. The silver dumplings have been melted in the town, and they are not afraid of being traced, and there is no mark. They are all general-purpose silver coins for the general public.
One silver dumpling can be exchanged for more than ten silver horns, and one silver horn can be exchanged for a thousand big coins. One big dollar (also called copper yuan here, some called big copper) can be exchanged for ten coppers.
He has now exchanged more than a dozen silver horns, more than 200 copper dollars, and a number of coppers, and he has no worries about eating during this time. Still only take copper coins, and silver horns will not be exposed.
After all, there are few rich people in the town, and there are only a few people who can use the silver, unless the merchants close to the official road can use it to stay and eat at the Yuelai Inn and restaurant of Li Papi's house.
He didn't dare to eat too well, and after a while, he was swept away, and even ate the baked cakes with pickles, Chen Yue secretly said in his heart, "Coming to this world, this is the first full meal I have eaten." ”
He refilled another pot of tea and drank it slowly. Li did not forget to tell him, "Two dogs, two coppers for tea, no credit." ”
Chen Yue should arrive, "I know, wait for the meal, pay the bill at once!"
After two sips of tea, my stomach became hungry again, I felt that I was not full, and it seemed that I didn't eat some meat, and my stomach couldn't stop it.
When Li heard that he wanted to eat meat, he also knew that this little cub was hungry. If you burn the fire, you won't starve. Then he reported the name of the dish loudly, "You kid is lucky, Li Yufu in the east of the town got more than ten catties of fresh grass carp, just caught, as well as sauced beef, pig's head meat, tripe, pig intestines, and some braised eggs." Roast chicken, roast duck, roast goose, all prepared"
Chen Yue listened carefully and asked for a pork intestine, a sauced beef, a fresh fish, and two braised eggs. I ordered another pot of rice wine.
Li didn't say much, and said, "A plate of pork intestines is fifteen coppers, beef is twenty-five coppers, fresh fish is counted as twenty coppers, two braised eggs are six coppers, and wine is twenty or twenty coppers." Count the first six burnt six coppers, five coppers for tea, and one copper for pickles. Ninety-eight coppers in all. After that, the meat fish eyes stared at him and did not let go.
Chen Yue took out ten copper yuan from his sleeve, and Li immediately showed a smile, took it easily, and said with a smile, "Master Chen, I'm adding two braised eggs to you, I won't give you any extra money for your hundred coppers, what do you think?"
One copper dollar (also called big money) can be exchanged for ten copper coins, one of the three braised eggs, and the remaining two coppers, but the baked cake Li gave himself two more braised eggs, and he earned four more coppers.
Chen Yue was not stingy, "Just according to what you said, come up with everything you just called."
Most of them are cooked cold dishes, except for fresh fish, which needs to be cleaned before it can be served on the table. The baked cake plum has eyes again, and Chen Yue, who only has half a pot of tea left for free, is full again.
The table he later called for food was enough for a poor family, and Chen Yue ate a lot and was also hungry. However, there are still people who can afford to eat these things, but they can't call them so much. It doesn't attract anyone else's attention.
The wine and food on the table were only half eaten, and Li Sangou, an idle man in the town, entered the baked cake shop. Holding a yellowed empty wine gourd in his hand, he opened his mouth and said to Li Baked Cakes, "Shopkeeper Li, bring me two taels of rice wine, plus two baked cakes"
"Twenty coppers for rice wine, four coppers for baked cakes, count you twenty-four coppers together" Li Sangou didn't say much, took out a cyan money bag from his arms, poured out a handful of money, counted out twenty-four coppers, and gave it to the baked cakes and plums.
As soon as Li Sangou turned around, he saw Chen Yue sitting in the store, sandwiching a piece of sauced beef and putting it in his mouth. His saliva swirled in his mouth, so he approached the table and sat down flatteringly, "Second Brother Chen has always been good, but Little Brother wants to kill you."
Chen Yue naturally knew that this kid was also familiar with each other on weekdays, and he had mixed together, and he didn't get a long distance from him, so he said politely, "Brother Li, don't be polite, everyone is familiar, just sit down, I'm bored alone, just eat some casually, brother, I haven't eaten meat for a long time, save a few dollars and eat with an open mouth."
Li Sangou was not polite to him, just when the baked cake Li took the wine and the baked cake to him, he said to the baked cake Li, "The trouble of the shopkeeper Li is to get a pair of bamboo chopsticks, and I will catch up with the Chen Yue brothers"
He sat opposite Chen Yue, didn't speak, picked up a large piece of sauced beef, ate three pieces in a row, poured half a glass of rice wine from the wine pot in front of Chen Yue, and drank a small half cup of it to his mouth.
Chen Yue didn't say much, the chopsticks of the two started on the pork belly, beef, and roast fish, and Li Sangouzi ate three braised eggs in a row before stopping to drink a few sips of tea.
The two of them have nothing new to say, idle talk. Li San has an old father in his family, and there are two younger sisters below, and his mother sews and mends at home and plants a few acres of rented paddy fields. His father was busy farming, chopping wood, fishing, and working in his spare time. Just come with the money
Li San is a master who refuses to farm, and the family is so busy that he goes to help, like Chen Yue, he wants to eat on the rivers and lakes outside. Farming is something that you don't want to do even if you kill you.
After talking about the old news of the rivers and lakes for a while, I talked about some new topics in the town recently. Li San talked about today's latest news, "Second Brother Chen, do you know that this morning, the Li family fired Miss Li's personal maid for many years. Even the clothes, baggage, jewelry, and other items that he brought with him in the deed of sale, but only ten silver horns, even my father was tempted! If you don't get so much at once, you'll have more than one brother and sister," he sighed
This news made Chen Yue feel shocked, and pretended to say casually, "Ten silver horns will fire the maid for many years, isn't this young lady distressed?"
Li San continued, "Miss refused, but his father must be dismissed, and I don't know what the father and daughter of the Li family think" After saying this, Li San put the last piece of pork intestines on the plate into his mouth and chewed it proudly.
This news, for Chen Yue, is not in vain to invite Li San to eat and drink. I guess it was the consequence of taking something last night. He doesn't have a good opinion of Li Papi's family. I don't feel like I've done anything wrong at all.
The young lady's personal maid left the Li family, and he felt that he had done a good thing, but the Li family was not a good family. The bad things have been done
The year before last, there was a down-and-out scholar who owed money to the Yuelai Inn because he had no money to pay for the store, and because he was sick. Li peeled the skin, sold the writer's pen and ink inkstone, even sold the book, arrived at the store money, and finally took off the reader's clothes. and then let the scholar go.;
