Chapter 14 Shopping

Walking on the lively street, Xia Muhan, who has been practicing martial arts all year round, felt that someone was staring at them, and when he looked back, he didn't find anything special. After so many years www.biquge.info of fugitive, I am really more and more suspicious.

"What's wrong with Daddy? Let's go to the grain store and buy rice! I delayed a lot of time just now, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to catch Grandpa Li's car. Xia Qiaomu saw Xia Muhan stop suddenly, and urged in confusion.

"It's nothing, then go to the grain store now." Xia Muhan responded and quickened the pace of walking.

The Xia family walked into a grain store called Minfeng, the store was not large, and the things inside were neatly displayed. In the middle of the shop are several large wooden barrels containing rice, wheat, and beans. Xia Cao was still quite surprised to see wheat and flour, although she coaxed her second brother to eat white noodles, but when she really saw the flour, she still jumped. You must know that wheat was only cultivated in the north in ancient times, and the south was basically extinct.

She didn't know that the founding emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty encouraged the people to do business, and after his death, he made a will, lamenting that he couldn't let his people be fed and clothed. It is hoped that future generations will be able to build a canal from Chang'an to Jiangnan, so that the north and the south can be connected. I can't help but listen to the words of the ancestors, as soon as the emperor behind Daqi has spare money, he will continue to dig the big pit that has been dug in the Spring and Autumn Period. Adhering to the spirit of Yugong moving mountains, after a few generations of accumulation, the "Annan Grand Canal" similar to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal was really built. Since then, merchants from the north and south have come and gone, wheat has appeared in the south, and rice has been shipped to the north.

The owner of the store saw Xia Muhan's family, his eyelids didn't move, and he continued to knock his melon seeds. The guy next to him said enthusiastically: "Guest officer, do you want thirty catties of old rice this time?" ”

Xia Muhan nodded, although the taste of the old rice was not good, their family could fill their stomachs in this situation now. Remembering the white noodles that the children said yesterday, Su Shi hadn't eaten them for a long time, and said to the guys: "Another twenty catties of thick noodles, ten catties of white noodles." ”

The guy was stunned for a moment and confirmed again: "Guest officer, this thick noodles are five cents a catty, and white noodles are eight cents a catty." "A pound of white flour is almost half a pound of pork, and few people can afford it, and most people prefer to buy meat for a meal.

"Well, I want these first, and I'll buy them next time after eating." Xia Muhan said seriously. The boss who ate melon seeds came over with a few bags and pretended to scold the guy: "Why don't you hurry up and load it for the guests, don't you see that people are in a hurry?" The work in his hands didn't stop, he put flour and weighed Xia Muhan in a slippery manner, and finally waited to collect the money.

After buying the staple food, Xia Cao and they went to the grocery store next door to buy some seasonings, and the condiments of the Great Qi Dynasty were nothing more than salt, vinegar, sauce, and starch sugar. The sauce is caviar and meat sauce, and at this time soy sauce has not yet appeared, and chili peppers, which were only found after the discovery of the New World, have not appeared. Xia Cao knew that the seasoning in this era was so poor, and she felt that her business opportunity had come. As a top foodie, although I don't know what the chicken essence, soy sauce, and cooking wine recipe are, I still know the main ingredients and processes. The title of the new generation of otaku gods and goddesses of the Great Qi Dynasty shouted to her again, and she wanted to become the seasoning king of the Great Qi Dynasty.

"Dad, the oil at home is almost gone, let's go buy some more fat." Xia Qiaomu counted the baskets full of frames and said.

"It's almost noon, then let's go to the vegetable market quickly, and after we finish buying, we will go back and wait for your Grandpa Li's car." After Xia Muhan finished speaking, he pulled the two small transparent meat stalls in the Wang Cai Market for the whole shopping process.

There are also not many meat stalls in the town's vegetable market, less than ten. Xia Muhan walked directly to the familiar butcher's stall, and said to a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears and a fat body: "Brother Zhu, bring me five catties of fat and another catty of pork belly." ”

Zhu Mao saw that it was Xia Muhan, so he didn't say much, and put the bright pig-killing knife at the large piece of pork for medical treatment, fast, accurate, and ruthless. After finishing the incident, he said with a little resentment: "You kid, this time is really not interesting, and I won't leave Lao Zhu to hunt such a big wild boar." , remember to leave such a good thing to me next time."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you next time." Xia Muhan responded. Usually, in addition to the shopkeeper Zhou of the taste hall, some of his prey is sold to Zhu Mao.

Xia Cao looked at the bones piled up in a small hill on the butcher stall, and there was no shreds of meat on the bones, unlike in modern times, when you go to the bones, the vendors will take a pile of meat. Bones are a good thing to boil soup, you must buy it, but why is there no pig in the water in the legend, it is not unpopular in the novel, the god-level equipment necessary for the heroine to make a fortune, how can she be gone.

"Daddy, let's buy some bones!" Xia Cao prayed with a small face and said to Xia Muhan.

When Xia Maihe heard that his sister wanted to buy bones, the hard thing that had no meat at all, he said disapprovingly: "Sister, that thing is not delicious, I almost broke my teeth last time." ”

"Brother Xia, this is your daughter, much cuter than that kid in my family, you want to like this bone uncle to give it to you." Zhu Mao quickly took a few large lotus leaves and wrapped the bones.

Xia Cao couldn't close her smile when she heard that it was free, but she still thanked her and said: "Thank you, Uncle Zhu, your business is really good, the pigs are all sold out, or I want to ask my father to buy a few pairs." Xia Cao wanted to inquire about the news.

"Yo, the pig has long been sold out. Xiaocao: If you want to eat the water, Uncle Zhu will leave it for you next time. ......" Zhu Mao said enthusiastically.

Xia Cao learned from his words that pig water was still very marketable in ancient times. It's not tasty, but it's cheap, and you can buy several pairs for a few pennies. Ordinary people don't care what you taste, and being able to eat meat is king.

There were already several people sitting on Old Man Li's ox cart at the city gate. This person likes to gossip as soon as he is idle, but the plump woman in their village began to make a wonderful speech again: "A big event happened at the gate of Baicao Hall today, do you know? ”

"Isn't it just that there are a few scammers who want to extort money, and the crooked money runs away without being in ashes, we all know it." Several of the women around her also appeared to be well-informed.

Aunt Chunxiang continued unmoved: "Then did you see the young owner of Baicaotang later? Seeing them shaking their heads, Aunt Chunxiang continued to say impassionedly: "That young lady's grandeur is magnificent, with skin like snow, a pair of enchanting peach blossom eyes, and a straight nose, hey, I really haven't seen such a beautiful young man." He is also very good, well-behaved and polite. It's great that my daughter can marry him. ”

Zhao Huyan next to her didn't do anything when she heard her say this, and said sarcastically: "People are young owners of Baicaotang, and they can take a fancy to you, a farmer, don't be ashamed." "If you want to match, you must match my daughter first, which door are you.

Bai Jide, who was sleeping heavily, didn't know that he had been worried about the aunts of the whole town, and they wanted to kidnap him as a son-in-law. Even if he knew it, he didn't care, as a rich second generation with a good appearance, Gui Nancheng could also circle around Fucheng if he wanted to be his mother-in-law.

The Xia Cao family, who had finished buying pork, also caught up with Old Man Li's ox cart. Along the way, there was the scolding of Aunt Chunxiang and Zhao Huyan, and when Xia Cao's ears were about to explode, they finally returned to the village.
