Chapter 224: The Zhao Family's Grocery Store

I'm sorry, because there is something at home that has been interrupted for two days, and the update will be resumed from today, so I hope you understand. Thank you!

The stocky man easily panted evenly, looked at Li Ziyu and Bu Jiu carefully, thought for a while and said, "One hundred taels!" ”

Li Ziyu glanced at Bu Jiu and didn't speak. She didn't know the price of the war horse, Bu Jiu must know.

Step 9 directly repaid the price: "Fifty taels!" ”

The stocky man gasped and sank his face: "Are you trying to make trouble or buying horses?" If you don't want to buy it, go elsewhere. ”

Is it easy for him? I finally got a good horse and wanted to make a lot of money. I didn't expect that it was either a lack of interest or a half-bargain? So how does he make money? Isn't it in vain?

But I didn't expect that as soon as his words fell, the buyer who had finally come in front of him turned around and left, without the slightest hesitation.

"Oops! Don't go, you can't get a fixed price, right? Add a little more. Seeing that Li Ziyu and Bu Jiu were really leaving, the stocky man hurriedly stopped in front of him with a flattering smile on his face. He secretly cried out in his heart. I just saw that they were very interested in this horse, how can they say that they will go? How could he let them go? Anyway, I have to sell this horse.

Originally, he thought that there was going to be a war on the border, and the horse in his hand was a warlike horse, so he could make a fortune. Who knew that it wouldn't be able to sell after more than ten days. At first, some people asked about the price, but when they heard his price, they didn't even make a counteroffer. Recently, he has not even inquired, and his remorseful intestines have become remorseful. He also knew that it was impossible for ordinary people to spend so much money to buy this horse, and he was not crazy, who would spend dozens of taels of silver to buy a horse-drawn cart? He firmly believes that there are always people who know the goods. Fancy this horse. But this destined person didn't appear for a long time, so he didn't have the confidence to wait. Now this horse is chicken ribs, and it is a pity to abandon it if it is tasteless. But he was not willing to sell it cheaply. You have to earn something.

"Fifty taels!" Bu Jiu looked at the stocky man without a trace of expression on his face, it was still that price.

Li Ziyu didn't say a word next to him, looking at Bu Jiu bargaining.

The stocky man gritted his back molars, and forced a smile on his face: "Can you add more?" Guest officer, I'll tell you the truth, I'm only fifty taels here on this horse, you have to let me earn a hard-earned money, right? ”

Bu Jiu glanced at Li Ziyu, and Li Ziyu said with a smile: "Sixty taels!" No two prices! If we want, we'll buy it. If you don't think it's suitable, then we'll look for it. We want to buy a horse with a cart, not this horse. ”

"Okay. You take it away. With a painful and reluctant expression, the stocky man took the sixty taels of silver handed over by Li Ziyu.

Li Ziyu and Bu Jiu led the bought horses and went out of the carriage and horse shop. Of course, the horse was led by Bu Jiu, and Li Ziyu just followed beside him. She was not familiar with the horse. Don't want to get close to the horse. I heard that Mongolian horses are extremely strong. If you can't subdue it, it won't obey and let you call. Bu Jiu is different, he has been dealing with war horses all year round, and he is familiar with them as well as himself. Not long after the horse was in Bu Jiu's hands, he obediently followed.

Li Ziyu and Bu Jiu sold saddle sheaths, whips and other supporting items in the shop next to them, and the carriage was fully equipped.

Bu Jiu drove the carriage and followed Li Ziyu's guidance to the Zhao family's shop in East Lane.

Li Ziyu kept an eye on it this time and didn't go to the grocery store in her hometown.

What I bought this time is very important, and the lives of the whole family are at stake. If you leak a star and a half. I don't know what awaits me. So, she went to the Zhao family's grocery store in East Lane.

The Zhao family's grocery store is in the bustling area of East Lane. There are three shops facing east and west.

Li Ziyu was still afraid that there would be no one in the shop near the New Year, but she didn't expect that although it was not like the crowded people in the morning, there were still a lot of people in the shop. I don't know if Zhao Zhenmin is in the shop, after all, he also cut wood for her family yesterday.

Li Ziyu gave way to bolt the carriage and walked into the shop by herself.

In the shop, Zhao Zhenmin was entertaining customers with two guys, and when he saw Li Ziyu coming in, he hurriedly came over and asked, "Xiaoyu, why are you here?" What to buy? ”

Li Ziyu glanced around, pulled Zhao Zhenmin aside, and asked in a low voice, "Second uncle, do you have these things here?" As he spoke, he handed over the purchase order in his hand.

Zhao Zhenmin wondered why Li Ziyu was mysterious when he bought something, but he didn't ask. When I took the list and looked at it, my brows furrowed: "Potassium nitrate? What is it? I have brimstone and charcoal here. ”

Li Ziyu was a little dumbfounded when she heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Second uncle, haven't you heard that potassium nitrate is sold anywhere?" ”

Zhao Zhenmin shook his head: "I haven't heard of it." Xiaoyu, what are you buying these things for? ”

Li Ziyu smiled: "It's nothing, I want to tinker with something." Then the second uncle, you give me fifty pounds of charcoal and sulfur for each of them. ”

Li Ziyu thought about it, let's buy less first. In case there was no potassium nitrate sold elsewhere, she would have to figure out how to make it herself. Alas, it is not generally difficult to think about the whole thing here.

Yes, Li Ziyu wants to make a grenade. This thing is easy to carry and lethal, and it is suitable for them to use.

If there is a real fight, where will she and her younger siblings hide? She had thought about hiding in the mountains, but that was just the last place to hide when she couldn't help it. You can't stay in one place in the mountains, you have to keep changing places. The younger siblings are still young, who knows when the war will last, it will be okay in the mountains in the short term, but it will definitely not be able to stand it in the long run.

She also knew that her move was very dangerous, and if she let the court know, it might bring mortal danger. How could the imperial court allow her to master such a lethal weapon technology, not to mention that the technology was taken away, and she was wiped out.

But she can't care about it now, she can only think about the present. Their personal safety is the most important thing in front of them, so let's talk about it later. It's really not good, she has to really hide in the mountains with her younger siblings. The terrain in the mountains is complicated, so you can hide it in a random place.

Fifty catties of sulfur and charcoal each, Zhao Zhenmin weighed her in a while. Not to mention, things are not expensive. It only cost one hundred and fifty wen for the two things together, and Li Ziyu was secretly happy in her heart.

Li Ziyu happily said goodbye to Zhao Zhenmin and went home happily in the carriage.

Zhao Zhenmin stood at the door of the grocery store, watching Li Ziyu's back walk away, with mixed feelings in his heart.

A few orphans really got up and could afford not only carriages, but also servants. The mother and daughter I saw yesterday said that they were relatives, but they seemed to be servants, and this could not be hidden from him. I bought a carriage today, and the coachman is not an ordinary person at first glance.

Strange, what is the way for her family to make money, how can she make so much money? My own groceries are spread in a prosperous area, and I can earn 500 taels a year. A few orphans haven't heard of what they did, could it be that their father Li Xiguang left something behind when he died?

To tell the truth, he was happy that they were doing well. Li Xiguang had a lifelong friendship with him before his death, and once saved his life in the mountains. But my heart is also a little sour, don't I have a few orphans who have the ability? Why can't life go by?
