After Qi Jiuli finished speaking, Steward Qiu was directly stunned, she would say that there is a reason for five hundred and twenty catties, because yesterday the backyard kitchen bought white rice, a total of five hundred and twenty catties, coincidentally the white rice is also twelve wen a catty, she took someone to the account room yesterday to settle the bill, but the account man dialed the abacus for a while, and calculated it several times before it was calculated.

That's six taels and two hundred and forty great dollars.

"I didn't expect the little brother to be so good at arithmetic." Steward Qiu was very surprised, "Your brother is the account office?" ”

"No, my brother is a student of the Fang family's private school." Qi Jiuli replied with a smile.

"Qizhu is good at reading, but arithmetic may not be as good as Jiuli." Chi Lingmiao and Yourong said, "This kid may be an arithmetic with some wisdom." ”

Qi Jiuli was a little embarrassed, she boasted in front of her uncle's family, but after all, she was a family, but now she was outside, and she was thin-skinned.

Qi Jiuli was a little shy and touched his head, "The eldest aunt loves our nephews and nieces very much, and in her eyes we are all the best, don't mind Steward Qiu." ”

Qi Jiuli's words made Steward Qiu appreciate it very much, "Sister-in-law Qi, your family style is really good." ”

Chi Lingmiao was a little teary-eyed, "Hey, they are all taught by the second brother and the second brother and sister, but it's a pity that they can't enjoy the blessings of a few children, but they will definitely protect these children in the sky." ”

"Eh, look at my temperament." Chi Lingmiao realized that she shouldn't say this in front of outsiders, so she hurriedly changed her expression and lifted up the two baskets of wild vegetables on the ground, "Steward Qiu, this is freshly picked from the countryside, fresh and tender, and it is best for stir-frying, making dumplings, and making buns." ”

"Sister-in-law Qi has a heart, thank you." Steward Qiu carried the basket himself.

"Do you like this, Steward Qiu?" Qi Jiuli put down the back basket on his body, carried it in front of him and asked.

"Little brother, what's the good thing again?" Steward Qiu asked with a smile.

"Rabbits, hares, fat, braised rabbit meat, or stewed or stewed are excellent game." Qi Jiuli smiled and opened the lid of the bamboo basket, and the gray rabbit inside was holding a wild vegetable and eating happily, and when he saw the light, he suddenly stopped moving, and after a while, he started eating without anyone taking care of himself.

"Wow, it's very fat, it has to be six or seven pounds." Mama Wang looked at the lively hare and exclaimed, "And it's still alive, it's rare, this rabbit has good skin, and it can be a winter warmer." ”

"Little brother, do you sell hares?" Steward Qiu asked with a smile.

"Not for sale." Qi Jiuli shook his head, handed over the basket and said, "Give it to Steward Qiu to taste." ”

The smile on Steward Qiu's face became bigger and bigger, "Sister-in-law Qi, this nephew of your family is amazing, he can coax people, and I don't know what kind of beautiful wife he will marry you in the future." ”

Qi Jiuli was stunned, the basket in her hand almost fell to the ground, she was deeply misunderstood, she looked at a little girl who could coax people, she herself was a little girl who needed to be coaxed.

"Haha, look at his appearance, I'm scared, hey, Steward Qiu, he's still young." Mama Wang joked with a smile.

Chi Lingmiao's face was full of embarrassment, and she covered it up with a smile.

Steward Qiu took the basket, handed it to Mama Wang, and whispered a few words, and Mama Wang smiled and left.

"Jiuli, thank you for your rabbit, sister-in-law Qi, wait a minute, this will let someone count the silver money for charcoal for you." Steward Qiu smiled, and then invited the two of them to the house for tea and snacks.

Chi Lingmiao and Qi Jiuli drank the tea, but the dim sum didn't move, and Steward Qiu directly asked people to pack the dim sum, handed it to Qi Jiuli and said, "You have given the rabbit generously, and the dim sum is taken back to the younger brothers and sisters at home to eat." ”

Qi Jiuli didn't refuse when he heard this, and got up and thanked him, "Thank you, Steward Qiu." ”

After two cups of tea, Mama Wang came, handed a delicate cotton purse to Steward Qiu, and Steward Qiu handed it directly to Chi Lingmiao, "Sister-in-law Qi, keep it, when will you ask for charcoal next time, we will go up to Qiliangou to find what you said, it can't be settled now, if it's autumn, we don't have anyone to go, it's okay for you to come." ”

"Okay, good, thank you Steward Qiu." Chi Lingmiao put away the purse and wanted to pour the silver money in the purse into his money bag, but was stopped by Steward Qiu.

"This purse was given to Sister-in-law Qi." Steward Qiu said with a smile.

Chi Lingmiao only then paid attention to the purse in his hand, embroidered the delicate plum, and felt that this purse was not cheap when he saw the embroiderer, but Steward Qiu looked sincere, Chi Lingmiao did not refuse, and accepted it generously, "It's so good-looking, it must look good to wear it to my niece, thank you Steward Qiu." ”

Chi Lingmiao's generosity was very good for the eyes of the housekeeper, and he personally sent people outside the back door, and said hello to Qi Shan on the donkey cart before closing the door.

When the donkey cart drove away from the alley, Chi Lingmiao said, "Jiuli, you just sent the rabbit like this, and Shixiang must be in a hurry when I go back." ”

"It's certainly not for nothing." Qi Jiuli looked at the place where Chi Lingmiao was collecting his purse, and said meaningfully.

Chi Lingmiao was startled, and went to dig it out, but was stopped by Qi Jiuli, "Auntie, it's the same when you get home." ”

Qi Jiuli will be so sure, it was seen from the time when Steward Qiu sent the purse, according to the posture of Steward Qiu counting the silver coins in person for the first time, she is a person with a straight and clear personality, but after taking the purse today, she did not count it in person, Chi Lingmiao wanted to return the purse to others, and she stopped it, which shows that the silver money must not only sell charcoal.

"Jiuli, if you really have more money to buy rabbits, then you are this." Chi Lingmiao stretched out his thumb and said happily.

Qi Shan also smiled, "Jiuli, this kid is a good one, and he is more capable than before." ”

"By the way, Jiuli, where are we going now?" Qi Shan asked, "Go to the wine shop?" ”

"Well, let's go to the biggest liquor store in Goldwater." Qi Jiuli nodded.

"Do people ask for charcoal in wine shops?" Chi Lingmiao is a little unconfident, now there are four baskets full of charcoal on the donkey cart, how can there be two hundred catties, and there are more at home, if it can't be sold......

"Some meals always need to be made of charcoal." Qi Jiuli said.

"What people can do in their kitchens, who can burn firewood, will buy charcoal that is so valuable?" Chi Lingmiao said, "Why don't we wait and ask the big family?" ”

"Let's go to the wine store first, in case people need charcoal for cooking." Qi Shan replied.

"It would be nice if you needed to." Chi Lingmiao said longingly.

"Eh, why did you get to the gate of town?" Chi Lingmiao noticed that there was a problem with Qishan's route, and hurriedly corrected, "Piaoxiang Wine Shop is there." ”

Chi Lingmiao turned around and pointed to the two-story building on the right-hand side and said, "Opposite is the Qiuwei Restaurant, and these two shops in Jinshui Town are the largest for eating and drinking." ”
