Chapter 10 Earning money is like catching a snake, and spending money is like running water
Li Zhong grabbed the big snake with both hands, Wu Zhi noticed that the mouth of the tiger in his left hand was bleeding, and said nervously: "Your hand will be fine, right?" ”
"Don't be nervous, it's not poisonous, you can help me go over there and fold a handful of dandelions......"
Wu Zhi immediately went and folded a large handful of dandelions: "What do you want this for?" ”
Li Zhong looked up at Wu Zhi, his eyes were like looking at a stranger: "Brother Wu, dandelion can clear heat and detoxify, reduce inflammation and swelling, this is common sense, you don't even understand it?" ”
Wu Zhi wanted to knock him on the head, but he couldn't help it, thinking to himself, don't be a cow, if I have a mobile phone and a network around me, I will give you a dandelion science popularization in minutes, so that you can know that the common sense of our modern people is actually hidden and infinitely dropped: "Isn't it okay to use this anti-inflammatory effect?" We all went to the doctor......"
Li Zhong shook his head, washed his hands by the river first, and then began to use dandelion to smear the mouth that was bitten by the snake: "People like us, just like dandelions, life is very cheap, floating wherever it is, it is very good to have it to help with first aid and treatment...... Let's go, let's go back! ”
So, the two turned back and walked towards the city. Wu Zhi led the hemp snake bag, and Li Zhong directly pinched the head and tail of the big snake and carried it on his shoulder, the big snake was gone, and it could only be slaughtered.
The two entered the west gate first, and then under the leadership of Li Zhong, they strode straight to a crude medicine shop in front of the county.
Simon Crude Pharmacy!
"Shopkeeper Fu!" Li Zhong greeted the people in the shop with a familiar car.
I saw an old man in his forties and fifties behind the counter, wearing a crowned hat, and quickly beckoned the apprentice to take the two snakes brought by Li Zhong in, and then said slowly:
"Worth one, two, two!"
"What? Two big snakes that exchanged their lives for only this number? Wu Zhi was beside him and blurted out.
The shopkeeper Fu only glanced at Wu Zhi, there was no look on his face, and he did not reason with the two, but said to his own apprentice:
"The Li family thinks the price is unfair, so return the things to him!"
Li Zhong was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly pulled Wu Zhi back behind him, and said with a smile on his face: "Fu Da shopkeeper, you have a lot of adults, don't be so serious, you can say as much as you want, when did I negotiate with you!" ”
"Li Zhong, the shopkeeper of Fu Da is willing to accept your medicinal herbs, this is a ...... that you dare to talk nonsense if you look up to you," an apprentice in the store also said.
"Yes yes yes ......"
At that moment, the two sides settled the silver taels in person, and Li Zhong happily pulled Wu Zhi away. When he arrived at a secluded place, Li Zhong took out a tael of silver from his arms that had not yet been covered and stuffed it into Wu Zhi's hand:
"Brother Wu, you take this bit of silver, I said it, plus the previous fifteen texts, it is a congratulatory gift for me to marry with you, if you don't accept it, you will look down on me, although my brother is from Qinghe, but from the Daimyo Mansion back to Qinghe these days, I have not found a sincere friend, in front of this world, people are indifferent, although everyone does not say it in their hearts, but in fact, it is just a friendship with money...... I met you today, one is very in love, and the two brothers also know that they are a down-and-out body at a glance, so I dare to make friends with you, and I am commensurate with brothers, and I can be regarded as taking care of each other, how about it? ”
When Wu Zhi heard this, he was very touched, and was moved by Li Zhong's simple words, it turned out that he had to pull himself to catch the snake for himself, this heart was really moved by Wu Zhi, Wu Zhi immediately nodded again and again, saying that it was no problem to be a friend, as for the silver two in his hand, Wu Zhi thought that it was really needed at this time, so he didn't do more twisting and accepted it.
Giving roses to people and dyeing the fragrance with his hands, Li Zhong grinned as if he had fully confirmed this sentence.
"Li Zhong, do you often catch snakes like this to sell?"
"How many heads do I have? A big snake like today, I usually don't touch it, and today it is because of your help that I can be safe, so I can earn one or two taels of silver, I tell you, the remaining two dollars of silver, I can eat and use a month's ......."
"So, you don't hunt snakes very often?"
"Tell Hanako not to jump off the cliff...... It's not an extraordinary situation, who wants to go down that road? Don't look at a lonely and broken household like me, who lives in dire straits every day, but his mood is more afraid of death than those big families, even if it is a cheap life in the eyes of others, he still wants to live! I always feel that if I die so poor and aggrieved, I will be very unwilling......"
"I see!"
Wu Zhi nodded and said, thinking in his heart, maybe this is the kind of way of life that often exists in the hearts of ordinary people in the world, not admitting defeat and not giving up easily!
Even in the face of raging storms and abuse, there is always bright sunshine in my heart!
Wu Zhizheng was moved by this honest Li Zhong, but he suddenly added with a smile: "So, Brother Wu, I can only help you get here!" ”
Wu Zhi really wanted to cut him.
Well, in fact, I don't blame him, it's just blame, those simple and ordinary languages in the past have been played with some "strange meanings" in the new era, with some praise or disparagement or teasing attributes, but it just ruins the atmosphere.
The two of them rushed to the Tianwang Hall in the northwest direction. On the way, Wu Zhi hurriedly bought some food, there were no tricks on the street, so he could only make do with some hot steamed buns, freshly baked steamed cakes, plus a box of pastries, a total of 25 Wen, and when he passed in front of Chun'er's stall, he spent 5 Wen to buy a large bag of melon seeds......
In this way, the subsidies that the two of them received from Futian Yuan were spent in total, thirty yuan......
After all, the money is only used to save lives, so that people will not starve to death, and if they want to make a living, it is naturally a little unsatisfactory......
Considering that Jin Lian's clothes were already wet and unorthodox, for fear that she would get sick, Wu Zhi had to spend 500 Wen to buy a big red cloth when he passed by the silk village, because there were no ready-made clothes at that time......
This is from a romantic point of view, in fact, if there is no covering, I am afraid that the two of them will die of cold at night......
Then under the guidance of Li Zhong, Dr. Jiang Taiyi's house put some ginger and frosting, the frosting is made by hand from sugarcane, in fact, it is called the ancient method of brown sugar in later generations, it was a good thing in the old days, especially for women, and it was more nourishing.
In addition, Wu Zhi chose a cheap dark fabric for himself, tailor-made a set of green shirts to protect against the cold, called it urgent, and spent another hundred yuan.
The shopkeeper and the tailor saw that Wu Zhi was dressed thinly, and he was trembling all the time, and he couldn't even straighten his waist, so he barely agreed, and it was a friendship price......
In this way, the silver that was exchanged for one or two lives went to seventy-seven eighty-eight again......
At first, you think you have some money in your pocket, but you haven't started to use it yet, and you feel like you've bought some necessities, but in a blink of an eye, you're a loser!
Wu Zhi couldn't help but complain: This is really making money like catching snakes, spending money like running water......
