87_87438 "Look at the two of you, I only need five taels of silver for a box of pearl powder." The boss took out a small round wooden box with a diameter of about five centimeters, and the thickness was no more than two centimeters.

"So small?" Shouxin calculated, such a box of pearl powder, plus egg whites and honey, can only be used two or three times without saving a little, and the price is not cheap at all. This is still ground with small pearls, I don't know how much it costs to buy pearls?

"If the girl wants it, there are also big boxes, and the price is more expensive." The boss was the caretaker who wore a cotton dress instead of satin, so he recommended this small box to Shouxin.

"Let's take a look." The defender also felt that such a box was too small, so he urged the boss to get the big box.

The boss hurriedly went to get it, for fear that the guest would run away if he was one step slower.

The big box was about five times the size of the small box just now, but the price was only eighteen taels of silver. After Shouxin took it, he asked the boss, "Can you open it and take a look?" ”

"Yes, yes!"

Shouxin gently opened the small wooden box, and saw that it was a box of powder as white as snow, with a slight fishy smell drilling into the nose, very light and light, if it weren't for Shouxin's keen sense of smell, he would hardly be able to smell this smell. And because of the process problem of grinding powder, pearl powder is not particularly delicate, but in this era, it is already possible to do this kind of process.

And Shouxin thinks that the boss here is quite sincere, and he himself mentioned before that this pearl powder is made of fine pearls, so the price is relatively cheaper.

The defender obviously understood this, and felt that it was available, so he said, "Then buy a box." "I didn't even pay back the price, I just paid the money.

Holding her forehead weakly, looking at the smiling face of the rouge shop owner, she was uncomfortable.

After handing over the money and delivering the goods with the other, Shouxin pulled the guard out of the shop. After taking a few quick steps, she turned around and said, "On the defensive, why don't you make a counteroffer?" ”

"A counteroffer? Belch...... I didn't expect it, and I won't. ”

"You won't will, I can at least kill three taels of silver, alas!" Shouxin really wants to knock on the head of the defensive, he is different from Yi Xun, Yi Xun is a prince, he has endless money, and the defensive is the same as her, but in the future, it is equivalent to exchanging his life for money. It doesn't matter if she is a girl herself in this era, but how can she save some money to marry a daughter-in-law, and she can only leave it behind!

"Huh? I, I didn't expect that next time I would let you bargain. "He was so amused when he looked at Shouxin's heartache, but Shouxin was angry now, how could he dare to really laugh out loud.

"Humph! Then you remember, learn a little from me, don't cheat those profiteers out of all the money. Shouxin told him that she would be good at bargaining, as early as in modern times, she often went shopping with her good friends, of course, Fu Mingyu was always sticking to her at that time, so Fu Mingyu was the most with her.

Fu Mingyu is also a fool who can't bargain, but both of them are ordinary families, with limited pocket money, if there is anything they want to buy, Fu Mingyu will call him to guard his heart and always save him some money.

"Yes, got it."

Seeing that the defensive attitude is good, Shouxin will not worry about him. "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this, thank you for sending me pearl powder." Shouxin didn't politely go to return the money to the defensive, the relationship between them as a brother and sister, if they returned it, it would be too much of an outcome, and the defensive would be unhappy.

"What's polite, give something to a beautiful girl, I'm willing!" The defense began to be poor, and Shouxin found that after coming out of the island, he had seen more things, and the defense was much more cheerful than before.

At this time, they passed by a jewelry shop, and the guard was about to pull the guard inside. Shouxin hurriedly refused: "No, I bought a lot of jewelry at Crab Creek last time, and I haven't worn it yet." Shouxin touched the bag on his head, feeling that he was still dressed like this at his age. If she had just traveled through that period and dressed her like this, she would never have agreed. But now it's different, she has been an ancient person for more than ten years, following the local customs, and she also wants to try this kind of dress.

It's like hearing that there is a new flavor of potato chips and wanting to buy a pack and try it. Even if it doesn't taste good, give it a try.

What's more, the new flavor of this bag Baotou, Shouxin likes it very much! And this kind of dress is normal in this era, and she has seen several little girls dressed up like this along the way. Of course, if it is a young lady from a large family, it must be jewelry such as gold and jade to bring to the body. But if you keep your heart in a cotton dress, don't be nondescript.

However, those jewelry are very suitable for the clothes that Yi Xun sent before.

At this time, I also remembered that last time I was in Crab Bend, Yi Xun went shopping with Shouxin, and I think Yi Xun bought a lot of it for Shouxin. He suddenly felt a little frustrated, no matter how he compared, he couldn't compare to the master's good guard.

"Let's go over there." Shouxin saw a book seller, when he was on the island before, there were very few books, if there were, it was also related to martial arts, even those few miscellaneous books, they were also written about martial arts people. And they learned literacy from an early age, starting from the words in the book of the simplest introduction to martial arts.

When the guard saw that it was a bookstore, he felt very interested, so the two entered the bookstore.

Most of the books I bought in this era are three-character classics, thousand-character texts and the like, and the deeper ones are also books read by people who take the imperial examination. Shouxin is not interested in this kind of book, not to mention reading novels, at least reading wild history and the like to be interesting, right? So, she asked the shopkeeper if there were any miscellaneous books.

"Yes, over there." The shopkeeper was wearing a light blue cardigan robe, and he was bookish, slightly tall. When he talked to Shouxin, he didn't lift his eyelids, but pointed to a row of bookshelves in the far corner.

Shouxin also cares a lot, she knows the truth that the ancient literati are high. So he said 'oh' and went to where he had said.

This bookshelf is located in the far corner of the bookstore, and it is covered with dust, which is much more depressed than the others. The book on it has not been cared for for a long time, but this is exactly what she wants, so she rummaged through it here. Seeing this, the defender also came over and rummaged through the many books.

Shouxin found a book about the customs and customs of various countries, as well as a cookbook, and another legend of the martial arts alliance leader, this seems to be a novel, right? There is also a book about mythical beasts and spirit beasts, this book is very old, the pages are yellowed, and the thread of the binding book is also a little off. Shouxin thought about it, but still held it in his hand. In addition, about business and farming, Shouxin is not interested, and even if he is interested, he will see it in vain, and he will not have that opportunity.

The guard turned to a book with herbal drawings and annotations, and he took the book on business from the book that Shouxin didn't like, as well as a book about Qimen Dunjia.

In the end, the two chose a total of seven books and spent fourteen taels of silver. In this era, books are very precious, even if they are such books that no one buys, they cost two taels of silver a piece. And these books are all hand-copied, not printed, and I think there was no printing technology at this time!

As for the books that those students read, they are more expensive.

When I went out of the bookstore and looked at the sun in the sky, it was already around noon.

Shouxin touched his stomach, and then said, "Let's go eat." ”

"Good!"

Restaurants and restaurants are generally interspersed in the middle of all kinds of shops, and there are some two- and three-story shops with closed doors, and I glanced at the sign on the palm of my hand, thinking that it should be a place like a green building. In this era, Qinglou is a legal place to have fun, and it is normal to open in the downtown area.

"On the defensive, do you know that the food in that restaurant is delicious?"

"This ...... I really don't know. "The map doesn't say where the food is good!

"Alright then, let's take a look." Speaking, there is a restaurant in front of Shouxin, which is also a three-story shop, it is lunch time, people come and go, and as far as the eye can see, there is not even a vacant seat on the first floor. "So many people?" Shouxin is a place that likes to be lively, but there are too many people, and if she has to queue up, she doesn't like it. "Let's take a look further ahead."

The two had only been strolling around Dongqing Street for about an hour at this time, and they hadn't even walked half of the entire street.

At this time, there are slightly fewer people on the street, and the restaurants and teahouses on both sides of the street are lively. In the distance, there are some small stalls selling food and light smoke wafting from them. "On the defensive, what do you want to eat?"

"I can do anything."

"Oh, anyway, I don't like it, you like to eat it, don't you?" Shouxin thought of it and rolled his eyes suddenly.

After walking for another quarter of an hour or so, many restaurants were overcrowded, but there was still an empty table at a stall selling steamed buns in front of me. "Why don't we have some buns here!" Defensive mentions.

"Huh? Isn't that okay? Didn't you say I'm in for a treat, you don't want to save me money by eating buns here, right? ”

"Huh...... You're a little rich woman now, what can I do to save you money. It's just that other places are overcrowded, and we ...... Eh......" As he spoke, the two of them were still hesitating, and the last empty table of the bun stall was also snatched by two people, and they paused speechlessly.

"I really didn't expect the imperial city to be so prosperous, and I couldn't find a vacant seat for a meal."

"I'll have to wait."

"But I don't want to wait, or I'll have dinner at the first few houses. By the way, are there no restaurants anywhere else? ”

"Yes, how did I forget." The defense only then remembered that the Imperial City was more than just such a street. Dongqing Avenue has always been overcrowded, and other places can't think about it. "Let's go, let's go somewhere else." The defender led the way with memory, and the two walked through four or five alleys, and after a morning of noisy, their ears finally calmed down.

This is a street very close to Dongqing Street, borrowing the light of Dongqing Street, and also opened a few shops, but compared to the overcrowding of Dongqing Street, it is still relatively deserted. There are also restaurants and restaurants. The attendance rate inside was about 70 percent, and they could still find a place.

Shouxin didn't choose either, her stomach was already hungry, and she only ate a few bites in the morning in order to come shopping.

The defense will not be picky, and the two of them will get closer to the nearest restaurant. The name of this restaurant is also simple, it is called "Lao Zhang Restaurant", and I think that the owner is surnamed Zhang.

"Objectively, please." Xiao Er led them to the vacant seat and asked, "What do you want to eat objectively?" ”。
