Chapter 24 Shopping in the Northern Song Dynasty

On the second day, Zhang San was awakened by a whirring wind, and when he raised his eyes, it turned out that Yang Tai was boxing in the yard, and Zhang San was lazy and went to the kitchen to wash. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the kitchen, Yang was cooking, Zaixing helped to light the fire, and when he saw Zhang San coming in, Yang saluted and said, "Uncle got up, and I made some meals before I told my uncle......

"Alas! What my sister-in-law said, even if I was at home, if I saw something outside, I didn't regard Zhang San as a brother. ”

Yang said slightly: "Yes." Uncle washes up first, and then he can eat in a while. ”

Zhang San went to the tank to fetch water, and found that the water tank was also full, thinking that because he was lazy, he only hit half a tank of water, and this time with Yang Tai's family, at least his life was settled.

Zhang San didn't have a table, and he had to eat with a bowl on his own, and after eating, Zhang San was about to go out to buy goods, when Yang Tai said: "Where is my brother, you want me to help." ”

Zhang San thought about it, there were indeed a lot of things, one more person, and a helper: "So, there is Brother Lao." ”

"Brother, whatever you say, just tell me something." Yang Tai patted his chest and said.

Zhang San went out to find Shuang'er first, after all, it was more convenient to have her, and halfway there, he did see that Shuang'er had come.

Zhang San greeted with a smile: "My sister came so fast!" ”

Shuang'er saw Zhang San and said, "Where is the third brother going?" ”

Of course, Zhang San wouldn't say that he was going to look for her, but he couldn't find a good excuse so he had to say: "Oh, I'm about to go to the street to buy some things, but I'm not familiar with it, so I want to go to you for help." Zhang San pointed to his head and said.

Zhang San turned around and pointed at Yang Tai and introduced: "Come sister, let me introduce you to this is the eldest brother I recognized yesterday, this is Yang Tai after Yang Lao Linggong; Brother Yang, this is the little sister Wu Shuang. ”

The two greeted each other, and Shuang'er asked, "I don't know what the third brother wants to buy today?" ”

"Don't worry, go and call your fourth brother first, let's go together, I'm talking to you on the way." Saying that, Zhang San and the others walked towards Li Si's house.

In addition to being a staff officer, looking for Li Si is also to get the cadres gathered by the brothers. Yesterday, Zhang San was worried that the money was not enough, and early this morning, Li Si and others went to pick up some vegetables, and Zhang San asked Li Si to bring the money back early.

When he arrived at Li Si's house, Li Si was sleeping in the house, presumably because he was too tired at night, Zhang San went to wake him up first, he went to wash his face, took out a vegetable basket and said: "Third brother, look, according to your orders, some of each dish is left, but it is enough?" ”

Zhang San went to rummage and found that there were more than ten kinds of lettuce, spinach, lettuce, bitter ginger, green onions, leeks, garlic, eggplant, winter melon, gourd, yam, radish, bracken, celery, etc. Mushrooms were even found.

Zhang San asked strangely: "There are so many of these kinds?" ”

Li Si said with a smile: "The third brother asked me to find a few more, and we thought about changing some with other vegetable farmers." ”

Zhang San realized that this was the case, no wonder, Zhang San thought that they were going to steal the vegetable garden of Daxiangguo Temple one by one.

With these, he saved a lot of money on groceries, and then Li Si took out the money that the brothers had made up and said, "Third brother, the brothers have collected more than 3,500 yuan, and they are all here. ”

Zhang San said: "Fourth, you take it first, I still have 1,500 Wen here for you to keep it, just put it into the account." ”

Li Si touched his head and said stupidly: "There are no accounts, we don't know how to count." ”

"Then how do you know how much money the brothers have paid?"

"It's all in mind." Li Si patted his chest and said.

Zhang San thought about it and felt that he still had to have an account, otherwise he would inevitably forget it after a long time. Only I memorized it myself at night.

Li Si carried the burden and followed Zhang San out. On the way, Zhang San explained that this time everyone mainly wanted to buy two small tanks, stone grinders, and a pot, and the rest had to buy beans, hens, pork, and other meats, as well as seasonings.

Everyone didn't know what Zhang San was going to do, so they had to take Zhang San to buy everywhere, first of all, hens, beans and pork were easy to buy, hens cost 90 wen a catty, and a chicken of more than four catties cost nearly 400 wen. I bought ten catties of beans for 500 yuan.

Because pork is cheap meat, it is much cheaper than mutton, only one hundred and twenty wen a catty, Zhang San gritted his teeth and bought two catties, and bought five catties of lard (the fat part is commonly known as lard) at a price of fifty wen per catty. Then I bought some pig offal at the land price, and the haggis cost another 500 yuan. Li Si arranged for Li Si to pick these things back first, and soak the beans first to find a car.

After waiting for a while, Li Si borrowed a board car and came back, and everyone rushed to the place where the cylinders were sold and picked up two small cylinders. It cost another 300 wen, and everyone loaded the things into the car, and went to the stonemason to buy a small mill, which cost another 200 wen.

After a while, Zhang San had already spent more than 2,300 yuan, and the other three people who saw it were a little distressed, Zhang San was also calculating, it seemed that he had thought it simple, and the 5,000 yuan could not help but be spent.

But things have begun to retreat, everyone pulled the car to the blacksmith to kill, when the blacksmith heard Zhang San described the thin skin container without saying a word, it only took half an hour to make one, but the price is more expensive, one costs 300 Wen, this thing is an indispensable thing to make cold skin, Zhang San had to grit his teeth and ask for two.

The oden pot is a big ironware, Zhang San hesitated, bought a clay pot, and forgot it. It cost another hundred and fifty wen.

Now that the things are almost ready, the seasoning is missing, and Zhang San went to the seasoning dry goods area with everyone.

The variety of dry goods in Tokyo is quite complete, chicken, duck and fish, all kinds of seafood, and seafood. Zhang San inquired and learned that the kelp was only 20 wen a catty, so he bought another 5 catties.

The seasoning is nothing more than oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, pepper, pepper, and marinade in the Northern Song Dynasty, but the recipe is slightly different from now, and the most troublesome thing is the spicy taste. I bought some salt and brine to prepare some tofu. The total cost of these was another 500 wen.

Looking at the rest of the money, Zhang San bought another fifty catties of noodles, thirteen wen per catty, and spent six hundred and fifty wen.

After preparing these, Zhang San and the others pulled the cart back and came to the alley, and the people passing by were surprised that Zhang San bought so many things, Zhang San greeted the neighbors and unloaded the things into the courtyard.

Zhang San first arranged for Li Si to return the car, and by the way, his broken wheelbarrow was also repaired. And asked Li Si to inquire about the brother who said the day before yesterday that there was a relative who made tofu at home, and the ratio of brine and beans to water for making bean curd.

Back in the courtyard, everyone began to get busy. First of all, start to stew the chicken soup in another large pot, put the marinade and other materials, and simmer over low heat.

Then I worked the noodles in the cauldron I just bought, and I got twenty catties for the first time, and Zhang San arranged other matters one by one, and some unnecessary things could also be saved, and now Zhang San and others still have seven or eight hundred dollars left, and there are pots and pans, tables and chairs that have not been found.
