Although the ten taels of silver that were not covered with heat went to six taels, Xia Zhi believed that she would definitely be able to earn more silver in the future.

Xia Zhi and Daddy, Uncle Tian out of the door of the embroidery village, and returned to the market in the middle of the town, today they came to the town to have a task, the family oil, salt and vinegar everything has bottomed out, must buy some back.

Looking at the storefronts on both sides of the street, Xia Zhi couldn't help but think, what is the matter for her to have money, she can buy a storefront here! Ay...... Xia Zhi found that since she came to the Dawu Dynasty, she was always sighing. Forget it, it's still important to buy something.

In fact, Xia Zhi has come to Niangniang Town three times, but he is not very familiar with it, he only knows a rough idea, and Uncle Tian is estimated to be not as good as Xia Zhi! So now on the summer solstice, they don't know where to buy oil on the road! I only know that I want to go to the oil mill, but I don't know where the oil mill is. Xia Zhi had to catch someone and ask, and finally let her ask out, it turned out that the east gate of this Niangniang Town was full of rich families, and the west gate was full of poor people, and the north side was dedicated to selling some daily necessities, such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, pots and pans, etc., and the south area was mainly engaged in some embroidery villages, clothing stores, shoe stores, jewelry, etc. However, the area around the center of the town is for farmers or some small businesses to set up stalls, and of course they have to pay a stall fee.

Once you know where you should go, the next road is easy to follow. On the summer solstice, they walked along the North Street, about ten minutes, and there was an oil mill in front of them, but the summer solstice heard that there were three oil mills in Niangniang Town, but there were two oil mills that were expensive, and there was a shortage of catties and two, and only one was called Dayou Oil Mill, and the oil was honest. Xia Zhi believed that the eyes of the masses were bright, so they went straight to the Otomo Oil Mill without even glancing at the other two oil mills. Hum! Who let him pit the people's money.

After entering the oil mill, Xia Zhi found that the oil mill was not very large, and there was a door connected to the yard inside, which should be the place where the owner of the oil mill extracted oil and rested. The oil mill is also very clean and tidy, and when you enter the door, you will see a few large vats covered with wooden lids, looking at the mimeographs on the vats, it is estimated that the oil should be packed in the summer solstice.

There are a few tables next to it, and there are some bottles and cans on the table. At this time, Xia Zhi's father saw that there was no one in the oil mill, and immediately shouted a few times into the yard,

"Boss! Boss! Buy oil! ”

"Come on—" I heard a sudden answer from the courtyard, but I didn't hear anyone.

Here I have to say that the Dawu Dynasty eats rapeseed oil, which is called sesame oil. And because the summer solstice is in the north, every household grows rice, so it is conceivable that most of this oil is rapeseed transported from the south and processed, so the price of this oil is relatively high.

On the contrary, in modern times, the slightly higher price of lard is the object of choice of this northern farmer, and in ancient times, as long as the conditions were slightly better, they would feed a pig, and some people even fed several. Of course, the price of this lard is much cheaper than the sesame oil in the south. The peasant family is also thrifty, and it is enough to put one or two drops in a meal, so it is generally enough to buy a jar for about half a year.

And the Tian family also ate lard before, although it is good to eat lard, but no matter how good it is, he has a quantity to control, that is, if he eats too much ginseng, the person still has a problem! So this summer solstice strongly wants to buy rapeseed oil, originally the Tian family disagreed, in their minds what oil to eat is not to eat, have to buy the expensive to eat, isn't it a waste. Helplessly, Xia Zhi has always insisted that it is good to eat some vegetable oil, and he has spare money at home, so he agreed, and asked Tian Laoda and Tian Laosi to buy some oil and then some lard.

I saw a man in his forties who walked into the oil mill, although his hair was a little gray, but probably because of his perennial physical work, coupled with good living conditions, his body was full of muscles, and he looked very strong. Presumably this is Zhu Dayou, the owner of this oil mill.

"Here we go! Want to buy oil? The boss looked scary and strong, but he spoke amiably.

"Buy, buy, boss, how much is your oil a pound?"

"Fifteen pennies a pound, we are all honest people, we won't pit you! This radius of a hundred miles knows that I Zhu Dayou, don't worry! Xia Zhi They nodded secretly in their hearts, the same price as they asked.

So Tian Boss said: "Give us two - four catties, give this is a jar of oil!" Tian Boss originally wanted to have two catties to do, and the rest to buy lard, but when he caught a glimpse of Xia Zhi's expectant eyes, he couldn't help but double the number. Ay...... The family is poor, and it is difficult for the child to eat oil, but now that it is a little better, it will be improved.

"Okay~" When the boss saw that Boss Tian wanted four catties of oil, he immediately happily took the crockpot and weighed the oil. Tian Laosi, who had been watching from the side, saw that the eldest brother doubled the number that had been discussed because of Xia Zhi's eyes, and couldn't help nodding Xia Zhi's head and saying, "Just your uncle is used to you every day!" "The eyes are doting and loving.

"How can you! Don't you still have Daddy! Isn't Daddy used to me, I know that Daddy loves me the most! Hehe...... "Xia Zhi listened to Daddy's 'love language', and was so happy that he couldn't help but pat Daddy's ass. Tian Laosi also ate her set, and immediately felt sweet in his heart, and he didn't say anything. Boss Tian was amused to watch.

When the boss weighed the oil and paid for it, they went out of the oil mill with the oil jar on the summer solstice, and they had to buy salt and vinegar. Although there is no place to produce salt near them on the summer solstice, this salt is controlled by the imperial court, and the price is slightly cheaper, only ten cents a catty, and they bought two catties of salt in a jar on the summer solstice, and went to buy vinegar, which is much cheaper than oil and salt, only five cents a catty. On the summer solstice, they weighed another two catties.

After buying other necessities, Xia Zhi went to the place where he bought needlework last time, Xia Zhi decided to buy a needle for every woman in the family, Bao Kuo is now only three years old Liqiu, Tian Boss thought that the children would learn needlework in the future, so they didn't say anything.

Xia Zhi calculated that there were a total of fourteen female compatriots in the family, and Grandma already had a needle, and Xiao Bailu was still too young. En~ As long as I buy twelve needles, I just didn't expect that the boss who bought the needles saw that she bought a lot and gave her another one. After the summer solstice, I also went to buy the thread, this thread is not like the thread of the wind, the line of the yarn is thicker, and the color is bright, the color is bright, so it is very expensive. The threads used to sew clothes are mostly fine threads, and they don't pay attention to color, so you can buy a pack for three cents. I bought a pack last time, and this pack at home should be enough for home use.

After packing all the things, Xia Zhi and they went back, but Xia Zhi saw the dazzling goods on the street and couldn't wait to move back to the Tian family, but there were a lot of things in the Tian family!

When I got home, it was still Shen Shizhong, but today no one in the family went out, and the sisters learned about the needlework that Xia Solstice bought for them, and they all smiled brightly. And after the Li family put away all the things they bought on the summer solstice, they opened up to cook dinner, because they didn't eat lunch on the summer solstice, hey! Poor baby!

After having dinner like last time, Lao Luotou shouted that everyone gathered in the hall again, and divided the remaining four taels and three dollars left over from today's shopping for everyone, and each of the four families gave five hundred Wen, but the difference this time was that Lao Luotou took out one or two pieces of silver to share with the eight granddaughters, after all, these sons were beaten by several granddaughters, and occasionally a few daughters-in-law and old women helped out. Originally, the money that this granddaughter earned shouldn't have been wanted, but her family was poor and there was no way.

In ancient times, the money earned by girls doing needlework in peasant families was private money, and they married others in the future. It's all girls who take it by themselves.

However, the sisters of the Tian family didn't ask for so much, one took a hundred dollars, and the rest was given to the two sisters Xia Zhi and Liqiu, Xia Zhi didn't accept it, but they refused, Xia Zhi had to ask for help from Daddy and Auntie. At that time, Tian Laosi and Zheng saw that situation, and they also wanted to talk, they took more money last time, how could they take more this time. However, Lao Luotou and the Li family didn't let them interfere, saying that it was their little sister's business, and the adults didn't interfere, just watch from the side. After the summer solstice, it was easy to collect money, but it was good that I had money in my pocket, which was much more convenient, and I would find more opportunities for my family to earn money in the future.

After dividing the money, everyone washed up and went to rest without mentioning it.
