Early the next morning, Brother Da Ma picked up most of the brown rice that had been coarsely processed and peeled off.

He put down his burden without blushing and panting, and said; "There are 102 catties here, I count 100 catties, 36 copper and ten catties, okay?"

Because you don't have to pay for it in the town, this price is normal in the village.

Jiang Yi grabbed a handful of rice and looked at it, only to see that the grains were full and the color was okay, which was average in brown rice.

With this rice, you don't have to eat the unpalatable chaff anymore, and you should have no problem getting through this winter.

She put down Mi and clapped her hands to stand up, smiling; "I don't have any money in my hand now, Brother Da Ma will help me pick the fish to the town together, and I'll give you another 10 copper, okay?"

"That's no problem, anyway, it's the farming season, and I don't have anything to do." Brother Ma smiled heartily and helped pour the rice into the rice bowl together.

Then everyone worked together and carefully put the dried fish into the basket, which was so full that it was about eighty pounds and could not be fitted.

Bu Ru also found another basket and packed the rest of the dried fish and dried loaches together.

Because the weather has been good in recent days, the winter sun is warm, and the loaches caught by the two of them have been dried in the past few days, and there are about 20 catties in their hands, which can be exchanged for a lot of money.

Ready, Jiang Zhen still went to dig loaches in the low-lying area, and guarded the house by the way.

The three of them went on the road and walked towards Lin Feng Town.

The road to the town is very easy to walk, the three-meter-wide dirt road is mixed with specially paved gravel, after many years, it has been stepped on solidly, there is not a little mud, and the road is smooth, not to mention the steep slope, even the small slope.

When you get to town, it's easy to find the biggest forest style restaurant in town.

Shopkeeper Chen checked it and found that the quality was better than the previous one, after all, it was dried for two more days, so he was very happy to receive 12 copper a pound at the price he said.

Weigh all the dried fish, remove the basket, the net weight is 98 catties, and 1176 copper is obtained.

Then he looked at the dried loach again, except for a little bit of dryness, he was generally satisfied, and finally collected it at a price of 20 copper pounds, a total of 29 pounds, and got 580 copper.

All of them added up to 1,756 copper, and the shopkeeper Chen gave one or two silver, seven and six hanging coins, and four more copper.

After getting the money, the three of them were quite excited.

According to the comparison, 1,000 copper is equal to about 800 pieces in later generations, and here it is only about 1,000 pieces.

But later generations were commercial societies, and now they are small-scale commodity societies, which means that most people now produce and sell their own homes.

Many people don't buy meat to eat, rice, or vegetables all year round, except for the occasional addition of one or two clothes during the change of seasons, it can be said that they rarely use money except to buy some necessities of life, such as salt.

According to the general consumption in the countryside now, one tael of silver is enough for an ordinary family of five for two months.

If you save a little more, and you don't need to add anything, it can be used for three or four months, or even half a year.

After taking the money, the three of them found a small noodle restaurant together, and each of them ordered a large bowl of noodles.

Before the noodles came up, Jiang Yi calculated to Brother Ma, brown rice is 36 copper ten catties, one hundred catties is 360 copper, plus 10 copper pickers, because he paid a deposit of 200 before, and now he can give the rest, so he ordered 170 copper to Brother Da Ma on the spot.

She had already calculated these numbers in her heart, but for Brother Ma who had not read a book, it was better to calculate them carefully for him.

"You don't need to give so much, give too much, and you still invited me to eat a bowl of noodles."

Jiang Yi sneered and said; "You just take it, you've helped us so much these days, it's just a noodle for you, it's nothing."

Brother Ma still wants to say something, and thinks that at least 10 copper picking fees should be pushed back.

Usually, I help others in the village to pick up things in the town, and it is also 10 copper a trip, but this Bu Ru is small by himself.

But after thinking about it, if 10 copper is also pushed around, it is really not good-looking, if there is anything that can help in the future, I will help a lot, thinking of this, I calmly accepted the money.

Bu Ru and Jiang Yi didn't know about Brother Ma's little entanglement, and chatted happily.

Soon the noodles were served, a large bowl of noodles with oil splashes, sprinkled with green onions, and two slices of meat, which made people appetize when they looked at it.

Bu Ru took the chopsticks and first put a piece of meat in Jiang Yi's bowl.

"Brother Ru'er, let's go buy books later, what books do you need?" Jiang Yi happily ate the meat and said while eating.

This was promised to him a long time ago, and besides, there is a golden house in the book, and if you want to live a good life, financial power is indispensable, which carries half of her dreams.

Money can be earned by yourself, and if you have the right, you can only rely on the little minister to get it, compared to ancient times, women can't go to the examination room.

Buru put down his chopsticks and said seriously; "I started to enter a private school at the age of eleven, and went to school for more than two years, in addition to three hundred thousand, "Disciple Rules", "Teaching Rules", "Kindergarten Qionglin", "Thousand Poems", etc. The day before yesterday, I went to ask the private school in the village, and he said that if I wanted to continue my studies, I could study four books. ”

can say it so clearly, it can be seen that he really likes to read, and he has not let go of anything related to reading.

Jiang Yi said with a grin; "Then let's go buy four books!"

Bu Ru's sword eyebrows are secretly locked; "I've read it before, and those books cost seventy or eighty bronze each, which is precious."

Seventy or eighty copper is twenty-five catties of rice, and I can't imagine that a book is so expensive, Jiang Yi plans to keep one or two silver and see what can be done.

After thinking about it, I made up my mind; "It's okay, you can buy one and read it first, and when you understand and read it thoroughly, let's buy another one, okay?"

Bu Ru wanted to say yes, but he always felt a little unable to let go, he knew in his heart that all this money was earned by his wife and brother-in-law, and he was taller and bigger than their brothers and sisters, but he didn't help catch fish and kill fish, nor did he help dig loaches, but now he has to use so much money on himself.

Jiang Yi saw his expression and said sincerely; "Brother Ru'er, we are a family, don't think too much, and as long as you study hard and get famous, it will be the greatest reward for us."

Bu Ru's brows softened a little, and gradually changed to a determined look.

So attack Xiao Langjun, Jiang Yi looked at this handsome young man who was one year older than herself, but her psychological age was ten years younger than herself, and cheered for him in her heart.

"You're going to buy books?" At this time, an old man next to him suddenly said to the two of them.

It was an old man who looked to be in his fifties, with gray and messy hair, wearing a patched moon-white gown, dirty, and dejected.

Jiang Yi glanced at it before, he had been sitting on the foundation stone under the eaves next to the alley noodle stall, probably an old man who had nothing to do nearby.

There was also a little boy of six or seven years old next to her, who was supposed to be the grandson of the old man, who was looking at her bowl with his fingers in his mouth.
