Peony took a few strips of bacon, two pieces of fresh pork weighing about thirty pounds, and an old hen with her legs and feet tied, as well as a basket of eggs, and some snacks made by Bai Ling, all of which were stuffed into Bai Ling's back basket.

Bai Ling was stunned for a moment, and when he saw that Peony still wanted to take live fish, he hurriedly stopped: "My family sells fish, so my sister won't pretend to be fish." ”

"That's right." Peony looked around the kitchen, took a bag, and put peanuts, lotus seeds, longan, red dates and other things into it, "These things can raise people, just boil porridge and eat." ”

The rice and noodles were given ten catties each, and it was not until Bai Ling shouted that he couldn't take them, so he stopped.

When Peony took things, Bai Ling kept thinking about why Peony was so generous, even if it was generous to others, it was a little too much.

Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to explain to Mama Hong when you turn around?

"Sister, can you please talk to Mama Hong, don't let people know that I have cooked in your mansion? I'm just a country girl, and I'm afraid that the words that go out will be untrue, and then I will bring trouble to my family. Before leaving, Bai Ling took Peony's hand and pleaded.

"Okay, I'll tell Mama Hong." Peony smiled in response.

Bai Ling waved goodbye and left, and Peony's smile was replaced by a tangled color after Bai Ling walked away, but soon smiled again.

"It's that you don't want to be a cook, and you don't want to eat the bowl of rice of a cook, I won't affect you if I learn, and besides, these things can't be paid without ten taels of silver, which is enough for tuition." After Peony finished speaking, she turned around and returned to the Qian Mansion through the back door.

This time he left the Qian Mansion and didn't get a reward, so Bai Ling was in a hurry to earn some cash to buy medicine for the Bai Liu clan a few more times.

When there were no pedestrians on the road, he put the back basket and the cloth bag full of peonies into the space. Carrying the paper I wanted to come when I was in Qianfu, I drew a picture of the jewelry and went to the century-old store in the town - Hongtai Silver Building.

At the end of noon in late July, the sun was scorching, and at this time there were hardly anyone going out to buy, so the guys in the shop were nodding and yawning.

The sound of Bai Ling's footsteps entering the door frightened the guy to stand up and habitually shouted, "What kind of jewelry do you want to choose?" Let's Hongtai Silver Building......"

Before the man finished speaking, he saw Bai Ling wearing a stack of patched clothes, and instantly frowned, and waved his hand impatiently: "This is a silver building, I want to buy flowers and go to the market." ”

Knowing that his clothes were easy to be looked down on, Bai Ling felt uncomfortable.

But thinking that it cost more than a dozen dollars to buy rice paper, if you don't try to sell it, wouldn't you even lose money on rice paper?

Bai Ling has already inquired that the shopkeeper Shen of Hongtai Silver Building is good, and the price here is fair.

"It's a guest at the door, didn't your master teach you?" Bai Ling's tone of voice was a little displeased, and without waiting for the man's broom to drive people away, he took out two silver nudes, "Although I don't have much money, it's still enough to buy a few pairs of silver cloves, right?" ”

The purse rewarded by the Qian Mansion is a few pieces of silver, and it is estimated that one piece weighs one penny of silver.

When the guy saw the silver, his attitude immediately changed, and he led Bai Ling to the counter on the side, introduced a few small silver lilacs and said: "These are the most suitable for the little girl to wear, and the price is not expensive. ”

"Is that all there are to you?" Bai Ling frowned dissatisfied.

The silver cloves recommended by the guy are indeed small, but the style is not new, let alone clever words.

The guy thought that Bai Ling was reluctant to buy it, and deliberately made it difficult, so he said in an impatient tone: "If you can't afford to spend money, don't show off here, hurry home and delay my efforts." Who doesn't know that Hongtai Silver Building is the largest silver building in Wufu Town, and the jewelry here is the best. ”

"You're so rude, you're a frog at the bottom of a well. In the whole world, except for Wufu Town, there is no place next to it? Hongtai Silver Building is the number of numbers in Wufu Town, but in the county seat, Fucheng, it is also the largest silver building? Bai Ling deliberately raised his voice and shouted dissatisfiedly.

Connected to the bead curtain in the backyard moved slightly, Bai Ling noticed a slightly blessed figure, looking at the style of clothes, it was not a buddy.

Only by attracting attention can you sell your designs.

Nima, in order to earn silver, Bai Ling had to be careful.

"Hey! I said you little girl, you dare to teach me a lesson, while I don't get angry, hurry up, or ......" The guy picked up the broom with his backhand, and there was a coaxing posture.

Bai Ling puffed up his chest and looked at the guy without fear, the coldness in his eyes actually made the eighteen or nineteen-year-old guy a little frightened.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper Shen opened the bead curtain and stepped forward, and scolded: "That's how I taught you how to treat guests?" Don't apologize yet? ”

"It's small, it's not right, don't be weird about it." When the man saw the shopkeeper come out, he was working with a broom, where was there still arrogance.

"Something happened in the man's house, and there was a place to collide with the girl, and the old man apologized to the girl. If the girl fancies something today, the old man will give you cheaper, okay? Shopkeeper Shen said with a smile.

Bai Ling is here to make a deal, so naturally he will not be embarrassed by the shopkeeper Shen.

Collected the coldness on his body, the corners of his lips were lightly raised, and he replaced them with a sweet smile.

"The girl doesn't dare to be the shopkeeper's apology." Glancing at the jewelry, Bai Ling smacked his lips and said, "Don't hide it from the shopkeeper, I really didn't come to buy jewelry today, after all, the poor family is almost unable to eat." ”

Shopkeeper Shen's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Bai Ling, guessing what her intentions were.

"But even if I had silver, I wouldn't buy jewelry from your store, and I really didn't have anything to look at." As if he didn't see the shopkeeper's black face, Bai Ling took out a few drawings from his waist and said triumphantly: "This is the drawing I made, isn't it better than your jewelry here?" ”

Bai Ling's confident smile is like the sunshine in July, and people who are shaking can't open their eyes.

Shopkeeper Shen's attention was on the drawings, and a pair of shrewd eyes seemed to see the silver, and he took it and looked at it.

On a piece of rice paper, there are five drawings, including cloves, rings, bracelets, necklaces, and hairpins.

"This is a girl's drawing?" Shopkeeper Shen's voice was full of joy.

"Uh-huh." Bai Ling nodded, his thin little hand was raised, and he took back the drawings with a piece of paper, "When I have silver, I will make a set of such jewelry, which must be unique." Not only that, but I also have to create a lot of sets, and I design my own patterns, so that people can see and envy them. ”

"Little girl, I'll give you a set of such jewelry, can you sell me the drawings?" Shopkeeper Shen noticed that he was out of shape, and he was embarrassed to grab the drawings again, but he was unwilling to miss it like this.

"Didn't the shopkeeper bully me?" Bai Ling pouted, and said dissatisfiedly: "This set of jewelry is small and light, and the silver will not exceed two taels, and the manual fee will not exceed five taels of silver." ”

Shopkeeper Shen calculated in his heart, looked at Bai Ling's clothes again, and said after a little thought: "In addition to the silver jewelry, the old man will give two taels of silver, and there can't be more." ”

"It is said that Hongtai Yinlou is a century-old brand, and it is the most practical way to do business, and I don't think that's the case." As he spoke, Bai Ling lowered his eyes and choked up: "If it weren't for the treatment of my mother, how could I not afford to play jewelry, it would be ten taels or eighty taels, and I would be reluctant to sell this drawing." It's better to keep it and sell it in the county, and you will definitely be able to sell it at a better price. ”

The corner of Shen's shopkeeper's mouth twitched, and the old Jianghu understood what Bai Ling meant.
