Chapter 92 Gu Erni, Have You Seen Ten Taels of Silver?

"Qingzhu, promise quickly!" Gu Daya's fingers kept scratching Gu Qingzhu's back.

Compared to eating, this is not if you want to fall asleep, someone will send a pillow, right in the middle of the arms, not at this time, but when?

"I'm willing to compare!" Gu Qingzhu couldn't help it, so she had to raise her head and say, but she always felt a little like she had stepped on a trap in her heart, but she didn't know where to start.

Gu Erni hesitated, it was difficult for her family to mix a round belly every day, let alone make delicious food, but for the sake of face, she couldn't say this, so she had to look back at the other three.

Yang Daniu squeezed out a smile and said: "Choose the dishes, burn the fire, I will take care of it, I really won't do the rest." ”

"Stupid you've got it!" Peng Pearl glared at her and whispered, "I will cook, keep her and win!" ”

"I do, too!" Gu Erni was reassured, and her confidence was suddenly sufficient, and even her voice was much louder.

"Okay, that's it, I'm willing to lose, tomorrow morning, one person will go out to buy ingredients for ten taels of silver." Mu Jincheng waved his hand.

"Ten...... Ten taels of silver! Several girls looked at Mu Jincheng in surprise, really worried that they had heard something.

In Gujiaao, it takes only one or two silver to sell a fat sheep in winter.

When ordinary people encounter bad times, such as this year, the whole season of spring tea fresh leaves can't be sold for two taels of silver.

Gu Shifu took the people in the village out to do odd jobs, planing to eat and drink, and when he came, he could bring three or four taels of silver back to each family to divide them, and have a fat year, it was all the owner's kindness, and everything went well.

On weekdays, one or two pieces of silver can buy ten liters of rice, which is enough for a large family to eat for half a year.

If you marry a daughter-in-law, with two taels of silver, it is enough to hold a banquet full of more than ten tables of dishes and wine in a decent manner.

As for the most expensive thing in the countryside, it is only to build a house, which is probably the most important thing in the life of a mountain person, but if anyone has a family of ten taels of silver, it is not a matter at all.

The ten taels of silver that was so difficult to earn and spent were said lightly by Mu Jincheng, but it was just the money to buy a meal!

Compared with the stunned eyes of others, Gu Qingzhu was indifferent, she had already seen him spend money like dirt, which was really nothing.

"Okay, hurry up and clean up here, whoever can't get it, don't have lunch!" Mama Guo saw that Gu Erni's whole face was swollen like a pig's head, and her mouth couldn't be closed because she was surprised, she was angry that she didn't know it, so she brushed her sleeves and left.

Gu Qingying ate, slept for a while, and applied medicine at the same time, and she was better in the afternoon, but Gu Erni and the others were beaten not lightly, and there was no medicine, so they were listless in their work in the afternoon.

Mama Guo was angry, but for the sake of the reputation of the weaving workshop, she had to send Xiao Xiao to the medicine store, find Zhang Pingjin to get some wound medicine, and distribute it to them.

In the afternoon, Gu Qingzhu's silk reeling skills became more and more sophisticated, and by the end of the evening, she had already wound out five silk spindles, enough to have more than two catties of silk thread, in order to encourage others, Guo Mama immediately announced that she had passed the assessment, and she could be paid according to two catties tomorrow.

This is exciting news that many people envy.

Gu Erni's face was swollen as big as a grinding disc today, her eyes were squeezed into a slit, and she couldn't find the thread several times, which delayed a lot of work, she took the lead in passing the assessment for Gu Qingzhu, and she was not convinced, and secretly wondered in her heart, if she is good today, she may not be the first!

The small gang that was flattened was rarely stopped at night, and the three of them lay directly on the bed humming and chirping, but it was hard for Yang Daniu, running between the two rooms alone, busy giving them medicine, and helping them with laundry.

Mama Guo was very taboo about Mu Jincheng's strange things yesterday, and after everyone left, she personally locked the door of the workshop, and Gu Qingzhu couldn't sneak in to practice, so she had to prepare to wash and settle with Qingying.

Just as she was carrying the basin and preparing to fetch water, she saw Gu Daya and the others coming together.

"Qingzhu, let's play tomorrow, what are we going to do?" Gu Daya couldn't hide something in her heart, and asked anxiously.

"I don't have any ideas for a while, so let's go to the vegetable market tomorrow and watch and buy it." Gu Qingzhu said lightly.

"How can you take it so inappropriately, I watched Yang Dayu running back and forth for half a moment, just afraid that they would have to discuss it for a night." Gu Xiaohua glanced outside and said worriedly.

"Then, according to you, what do you want to eat?" Gu Qingzhu poured water for them, sat down and asked.

"According to me, the best thing in our countryside is the roast leg of lamb, which is bubbling with oil, and then brushed with the ingredients you made, hiss, I drool when I think about it." Gu Daya looked fascinated, and she didn't forget to swallow her saliva.

"Yes, yes, we only eat once a year at thirty nights, and we have enough money today, so it's better to buy a leg of mutton." Fang Ling nodded in agreement.

"Mutton eats nourishing in winter, what season is this, the summer solstice is coming, and eating mutton, not only can not stand the smell, but also easy to get angry, he has no appetite, and he can't eat greasy things." Gu Qingzhu shook his head approvingly.

"Otherwise, we'll give him a pot of duck soup, this is suitable for summer." Zheng Zhaodi thought for a while and said.

"Well, that's a good idea, but that duck doesn't taste good, and it's hard to eat." Gu Daya pouted.

"What is this going to do? I see that he rewarded all the chicken and pork today, and eighty percent of them don't like to eat it. Gu Xiaohua sighed and said.

"The deliciousness of eating is when it is naturally ripe and on the market, because it is the most plump and fat at that time, let's not think about what to do first, Ming'er went to the vegetable market, and I had an idea at a glance." Gu Qingzhu patted their hands and said with a smile.

"Okay, then let's go to bed early today, get up early tomorrow, don't let them take the lead." Gu Daya clenched her fists competitively.

On the second day, Gu Qingzhu was quietly called by Gu Daya, because Qingying was still asleep, Gu Qingzhu beat herself and injured her, and she didn't dare to let her go alone, so Fang Ling volunteered to stay with her.

The four of them stopped washing, the porridge in the kitchen had just been boiled, and Gu Daya gave each of them a bowl, which was too hot to dry on the stone steps of the patio.

"Xiaohua, what ingredients do you think they will buy?" Gu Daya was stirring porridge with chopsticks while chatting with Gu Xiaohua.

"It's hard for Gu Erni to even have enough to eat at home, what will she do? Snort, is the wild vegetable mushy? Gu Xiaohua grimaced.

"Also, if you want to compare with our Qingzhu, it's not a little bit worse." Gu Daya said, took a bite of a salted radish, and immediately spit out most of it, muttering, "It's killing me, it's still a delicious dish made of green bamboo." ”

"Alright, don't talk about it." Gu Qingzhu saw Peng Pearl come out to pour water, and stopped softly.

"Hmph, don't worry about her today, when we win, let her clean the toilet for a month, it's enough to humiliate her!" Gu Daya muttered to herself and turned her head to eat.

"Look what you've said, you can't eat yet!" Zheng Zhaodi couldn't help but pat her arm and said angrily.

A few people were eating, and they saw Bao Ying coming with Mu Jincheng.

Such an early morning not only surprised Gu Qingzhu, but also for Mu Jincheng, it was also the first time in twenty years, the gluttony in his heart had been screaming all night, if it wasn't for waiting for dawn, he would have come a long time ago.

He was so thoughtful, he couldn't sleep over and over, last night he could make the big girl in Ruihua Courtyard Youyu anxious, this morning saw him in good spirits, she didn't dare to go back to the old lady and lady, so as not to be reprimanded by the master, saying that they would find a reason to take the bad master.

"Baoying, give them the money." Mu Jincheng looked at Gu Qingzhu and smiled, sweeter than the honey water he drank in the morning.

Bao Ying agreed, took the two purses in his sleeve pocket, one to Gu Qingzhu, and the other to Gu Erni, who happened to come over.

Gu Erni pinched her purse and stared at Gu Qingzhu again.

Bao Ying saw that she seemed to doubt her own fairness, and was anxious for a while: "I asked the shopkeeper Han to weigh it well with a scale yesterday, and it is not bad at all." ”

"Gu Erni, have you ever seen ten taels of silver? Do you think you'll be able to spend it today? Gu Qingzhu lowered his head and drank porridge, didn't even look at her, and said contemptuously.

"You...... Don't be too arrogant! Gu Erni's face turned red.

When she was at home, she only heard from the housekeeper that her father owed a hundred taels of silver, but she had never even seen what the silver looked like, so she just wanted to see which purse was more bulging.

"Let's go, Qingzhu, let's take care of her!" Gu Daya pinched the two steamed buns one by one, and walked down the aisle beside Gu Erni with her head held high.

Gu Qingzhu handed the dishes and chopsticks to Gu Xiaohua at the door of the kitchen, took the steamed bun and took a bite, and the four of them went out together.

Today is the day of the market, the vegetable market is very lively, this season is the time when the vegetables, melons and fruits are on the market, dark purple eggplant, green and red peppers, slender and long cowpeas, cucumbers with flowers on the top thorns, into the eyes, all over the ground.

Gu Qingzhu walked in front of a small stall, and saw a bunch of red, green, and green chili peppers in front of an old man's stall, like a line, she had never seen such a before, so she squatted down and picked a few broken chili peppers and smelled them, and a spicy breath went straight to the end of her nose.

"The girl is a connoisseur at first glance, my chili is very spicy, and ordinary people can't eat it, but if it is done well, it is appetizing." The old man said with a smile.

"Uncle, how much is this a catty?" Gu Qingzhu raised his head and asked.

"Five pounds a pound, this pepper is not weighted, a pound can weigh a lot, you buy more, don't suffer a loss." The old man was afraid that Gu Qingzhu would be too expensive, so he chattered.

"Then let's have a pound." Gu Qingzhu picked both blue and red a little.

Bao Ying is really a careful person, there are not only broken silver in the purse, but also hundreds of copper plates, just a few pieces and wholes, just right to use.

"We haven't bought meat yet." Seeing that Gu Qingzhu was buying vegetables, Gu Daya couldn't help but be a little anxious.

"Then let's take a look." Gu Qingzhu hugged her and laughed at her anxiousness.

As he was walking, a teenage boy squatting on his knees on the side of the road attracted Gu Qingzhu's attention, he was wearing patched clothes, and there was a wooden barrel in front of him, which was covered with a layer of aquatic plants, and he didn't know what he was selling.

"What are you selling?" Gu Qingzhu stopped and asked.

He probably didn't come to the market often, and when he saw Gu Qingzhu asking, he said a little shyly: "It's shrimp." ”

After a while, he said again: "I fished it this morning." ”

Gu Qingzhu turned over the aquatic grass, and there were indeed a lot of cyan river shrimp adsorbed at the bottom, but the river shrimp at this time were different from the past, it was the time to hold the seeds, and each shrimp had a large ball of shrimp roe on their stomachs.

"How are you selling this?" Gu Qingzhu looked at the depth of the water and estimated that there were five or six catties of shrimp in it.

"I don't know, my sister said you can give as much as you want." The boy probably saw that she was a kind-hearted person, and trusted her very much.

"This ......" Gu Qingzhu was stunned for a moment.

There are also shrimp in the summer ditch in the mountains, but because they are too far away from Cuiping Town, most of them are kept for themselves and have not been sold, so she naturally does not know the market outside.
