Li Ziyu took the hill to send the people who were working down the hill, at this time, that is, in the middle of the day. Even though it's winter and the slopes are still covered with snow, the morning sun still exudes a warm temperature, which makes people feel extra comfortable up and down.

Li Ziyu walked into the yard and the hill and began to clean up the yard, and when the house was cleaned inside and out, it took half an hour. Seeing that it was not early, Li Ziyu was eating openly. Breakfast or lunch is more appropriate, and sorghum rice is eaten. There were three more pieces of mixed dough baked yesterday, and three small ones were given. Everyone mixed a little salt with sorghum rice, mixed it with boiling water, and ate the meal. Li Ziyu looked at the meal without oil and vegetables, and looked at the satisfaction that her younger siblings were accustomed to. Yes, satisfied, after all, you're full, aren't you? Li Ziyu secretly swore that if the first step was to eat a full meal, there would be a second step, the third step, and the next step, and he must eat oil, vegetables, and meat, and nothing else, let's talk about it.

After eating, Li Ziyu took out the window paper from the wooden box and took her younger siblings to paste the windows of the east and west rooms. Li Ziyu cut the window paper compared to the window, and the sisters happily pasted the window paper. The three little ones shouted with joy and ran wildly all over the yard.

"Ahh

"Ahh

Li Ziyu smiled and listened to the cheers of her younger siblings, with a faint hint of joy in her heart. Although life is difficult, the younger siblings have a good heart, which is rare and makes her proud. You can find a way to live a difficult life, but it is difficult to correct if your heart is crooked.

At this time, she suddenly remembered that the gate of the yard was not locked, and several locks in the house were small locks, which were not suitable for the gate of the yard.

So, she stepped up the speed of pasting the window paper, and waited until the windows of the two rooms were completely glued. He said to Xiaoshan and Xiaowen: "I still have to go to the city, I have to buy a lock, and you can't use a small lock on the gate." ”

Xiaoshan said: "Sister, I'll go, you rest at home, you've been too tired for the past two days." ”

Xiaowen nodded in agreement.

"No, it's too much time for you to go." Li Ziyu shook her head, "I'll hurry up, go and come back quickly, and maybe catch up." Uncle Gui, they won't need to get the door ready to be delivered in the dark, I have to ask Uncle Gui to buckle the door to us, or we don't have anything to do, right? ”

Li Ziyu found the bamboo basket as she spoke, and put the roe deer skin into the bamboo basket, she wanted to see if she could sell it for some money. After repairing the house, the money did not cost much. Although she didn't count, she could probably estimate that there were still three taels of silver at home. Even in the countryside, there are not many people, but there are too many places to spend money. The Chinese New Year is just over a month away, and she has to make new clothes for her younger siblings so that they can eat better.

Seeing Li Ziyu coming out with a bamboo basket on his back, the three small ones shouted and gathered around. Xiaolan hugged her left leg and tilted her head coquettishly: "Sister, hug." Xiaohu hugged his right leg, his big eyes flickering and he didn't speak. Xiao Wu got tired of Li Ziyu's arms, and said softly: "Sister, I want to go too." ”

Li Ziyu's heart was about to melt, she hugged and kissed one by one, and comforted softly: "Be good, be at home, you are still too young, my sister can't take you." When I come back, my sister will buy you something delicious, okay? ”

Li Ziyu appeased the three small ones, and then turned around and instructed: "After I leave, you close the door of the house, and the courtyard door will not be closed." Uncle Gui will definitely send the door in a while, if I can't come back, you let Uncle Gui wait for me for a while, remember? ”

Xiaoshan and Xiaowen both nodded in unison: "Sister, we remember." ”

Li Ziyu carried the bamboo basket on his back, turned around and walked down the hillside.

At this time, it was close to noon, and there were occasional people in the village who went out for a stroll, and Li Ziyu greeted him sweetly when he met him. There were also a few people who went up the mountain to chop firewood and met Li Ziyu, and Li Ziyu also greeted them one by one. When people in the village go up the mountain to chop wood, they all go up the mountain path behind Li Ziyu's house, so they meet Li Ziyu.

Li Ziyu left the village and hurriedly walked towards Shiyan Town. Seven or eight miles, she arrived in less than half an hour.

She walked straight down Huating Street, and she didn't bother to pay attention to the bustling streets. When she arrived at the "hometown grocery store", she exhaled softly. As soon as I wanted to enter the store, I heard the voice of the shopkeeper and the young man in the shop:

"It's strange to say, it's next to the mountains, why don't you hunt?"

"Shopkeeper, haven't you heard, Dalingzi Mountain has gone and never returned, who dares to hunt? Isn't it important to have a small life? ”

"That's what I said, but where can I find the good skin of the master, alas"

Li Ziyu was overjoyed and worried when she heard this. The good thing is that there is a market for the skin, and the worry is that this hunt is not easy to fight, so you have to try your luck. However, no matter what you say, this is also a hope, and there is also the meat of wild things, "Riri Red Restaurant" is also included. Well, I'll go in a few days when my brothers' shoes are ready. Thinking of this, Li Ziyu stabilized her mind and walked into the shop.

"Yo, it's you, little girl, please come in, what do you want to buy?" The young man saw Li Ziyu coming in, and hurriedly greeted him enthusiastically.

Li Ziyu also greeted with a smile: "Little brother, I want to buy a lock, a copper lock, which is the kind on the gate of the courtyard, do you have it here?" ”

The young man said in a loud voice: "Yes, yes, look at our lock, the second one is no longer there, I guarantee that you will not regret buying it." As he spoke, he took out a copper lock from the box inside and handed it to Li Ziyu.

Li Ziyu took the copper lock and looked at it, and couldn't help nodding secretly. This copper lock has a bright yellow sheen throughout, and it is carved with a very delicate auspicious cloud pattern. This lock is rectangular, with protruding ends and the lock cylinder inlaid inside, which is very pleasing to the eye.

"How much?" Li Ziyuxin said to ask the price first, and if it was too expensive, she wouldn't buy it.

"Five hundred dollars." The young man replied.

Li Ziyu glanced at him and said in her heart, it is really expensive. And then he asked, "Can it be cheaper?" ”

The young man glanced at the shopkeeper Fu without a trace, and when he saw that the shopkeeper nodded, he said: "That's it, little girl, you are an old customer, and you are cheaper than twenty or forty hundred and eighty." How, that's interesting, right? ”

"Four hundred wen." Li Ziyu returned the price. She saw the interaction between the young man and the shopkeeper just now, and there must be room for activity at this price.

The young man was a little anxious and shouted, "I said little girl, you are too ruthless, right?" You're hearted, aren't you? Are you a little sincere? It's really not so much, can you give a real price? ”

"What I give is the real price." Li Ziyu said firmly. The reason why she said this is because she knows where to do business is just a fixed price? This is what she figured out later after she went back from shopping. The first time I was stupid, I paid the money, and when I went back to think about it, I bargained in modern times, why am I so stupid? Actually, Li Ziyu is in love. Although the price of goods fluctuated in ancient times, it is not exaggerated as in modern times, that is, it does not fluctuate much.

Seeing the stalemate, the shopkeeper Fu walked over with a smile: "Little girl, if you really want to buy it, I will say a price that is acceptable to both parties, four hundred and fifty wen, which is the lowest price I can give within my authority." If you're still not satisfied, please go to another house. ”

Li Ziyu was overjoyed when she saw the shopkeeper Fu coming over. She just bit the price, just to attract the attention of the shopkeeper Fu. The price of her wanting to sell roe deer skins and buying them on her own initiative is definitely different from that of buyers, not to mention that she has other ideas. So, when the shopkeeper walked in, he put down the bamboo basket on his back, and smiled sweetly: "Uncle shopkeeper, since you have said so, of course I am satisfied, little brother, wrap it up for me." ”

"Xiao Hei, wrap her up." The shopkeeper commanded.

"Okay, shopkeeper." The young man named Xiao Hei agreed, and took a piece of vermilion silk cloth to wrap the copper lock.

Li Ziyu turned his back to the shopkeeper Fu, and faced the little black guy to see him wrap a copper lock and pay the silver.

The shopkeeper behind him really found the roe deer skin in the bamboo basket, and exclaimed in surprise: "Huh? Little girl, where did you get your roe deer skin? ”

"Oh, this one, I came across it when I went into the mountains to chop wood." Li Ziyu calmly turned around and replied casually.

"You dare to go into the mountains? No, no, I mean don't they all say it's dangerous to go into the mountains? The shopkeeper Fu was shocked, such a little girl really dared to enter the mountain? He was a little skeptical.

Li Ziyu restrained her smile and said lightly: "Uncle shopkeeper, I just went into the mountain to chop wood and walked into the mountain." There is no way to be dangerous, you have to live. ”

"That's right." Shopkeeper Fu nodded thoughtfully, looking at Li Ziyu's dress, life must be difficult at home. He didn't feel compassion, he just wanted to buy the skin. "You're trying to sell it, aren't you? You give a price, and I buy it. ”

A smile resurfaced on Li Ziyu's face, and she said happily: "Okay, Uncle Shopkeeper, you can look at it and give a price, where do I know what the price is?" Since I can still sell it for money, I will send it to the shopkeeper next time I have skins. ”

Shopkeeper Fu looked at Li Ziyu with an innocent face, he didn't believe that this little girl was really innocent. From what she said just now, he could tell that she would go into the mountains in the future, which meant that there would be skins, and that's it. If you can provide skin for a long time, at least where can the master have an explanation.

"Well, I'll give you a tael of silver. However, when we had skins in the future, we had to sell them only to our shop. You can rest assured, the price is easy to say, and it will definitely satisfy you. "Shopkeeper Fu originally wanted to give 500 Wen, but in fact, it was worth 500 Wen. But thinking of the master's instructions, thinking of the huge number that urgently needed skins, and wanting to keep Li Ziyu's supply, he offered a price of one tael.

"Okay, deal!"

The little black guy hurriedly handed over a tael of silver.

Li Ziyu was very happy, she didn't expect that a roe deer skin could be sold for one or two silver. While she was happy to receive the silver, she thought that it was not enough to enter the mountain by luck, she had to have the tools at hand, bows and arrows and darts were indispensable.
