709 Pen and ink are so expensive
Su Qingyue plans to buy forty catties of pork, live chickens, and live ducks to buy five each, fry four catties of pork at noon every day, and occasionally kill a chicken and duck, and then go to the stream to catch some fresh fish, or fried dried fish, so that the food is not monotonous. D. And she only needs to come to town two or three more times to buy groceries.
The three brothers of the Xiao family are all very studious, although it has only been ten days, 'one, two, three, four, five...... Upper, middle, lower, big and small, ...... this kind of simple text can already be written.
However, everyone's talent is different, and the third and fourth brothers learn significantly faster than the second brother.
Long-term practice of calligraphy with a sand table, although it saves money, but learning calligraphy definitely requires paper and pencil.
Su Qingyue walked into a bookstore.
The shelves of bookstores are full of books, but they are far less varied than in modern times.
The shopkeeper saw that Su Qingyue was dressed in lake-green embroidered clothes, and the material of the clothes was also medium-high, and she should be able to afford books, so he greeted warmly, "Girl, what do you want to buy?" ”
"An inkstone, ink, three pens, and three stacks of rice paper." "One 、、。 ”
A thousand-character text is a thousand different words, common words, with annotations.
She plans to teach according to the thousand-character text, and when the teaching is finished, the second brother and they will know almost all the ordinary characters, the three-character scripture and the Analects, and then teach them after they have finished recognizing the words.
In this way, her task as a teacher is almost the same. No matter how deep it is, if they are still interested, they can go to the school to study.
The shopkeeper smiled when he heard this, "You want a lot." On the counter, there are several finely made pens hanging on the pen holder, and a few pens that look the most ordinary are inserted upside down in a few bamboo tubes, "The inkstone is made of stone, and the good one is made of jade." There are two kinds of ink, the price is three times more expensive than the ordinary one, and the paper is also good and bad......"
Su Qingyue listened to the introduction, "Give me the cheapest one, there's no need to buy the expensive one." "Or rather, I don't have the money to buy expensive ones for the time being.
"A pen of fifty texts, two hundred pieces of ink, a stack of rice paper of one hundred texts, and an inkstone of three hundred texts." The shopkeeper quickly dialed the abacus beads, "And, six hundred wen per book, seven hundred wen." ”
Su Qingyue's eyebrows knotted when she heard this, "It's so expensive......"
"It's all for the price." The shopkeeper said, "The purchase price is also very expensive, I don't believe you can go to other stores and ask, maybe it is a few pennies more expensive than mine." ”
"How many sheets of rice paper are in a stack?" She asked.
"A hundred."
The last time she saw Liang Lizheng cherishing pen and ink so much, she thought it was Shi Ran, a scholar, but it turned out to be so expensive, not everyone who reads should cherish it. She also inquired and knew that the price of pen and paper was indeed expensive.
She thought for a moment, "No, give me two more stacks of rice paper." ”
The shopkeeper dialed the abacus beads again, "It adds up to two thousand two hundred and fifty wen, which is more than two and a half." ”
She bargained, "Buy so much at once, a fraction of fifty wen." ”
"I can't erase so much, I'll give you twenty cents cheaper. It's not expensive for you. ”
"Okay." She looked at the bookshelf, "Can I read your book then?" I want to see if there is anything else to buy. ”
"Yes." The shopkeeper confessed, "You have to be careful when you turn the pages of the book, you will have to pay for the damage." ”
"No problem." Su Qingyue walked to the bookshelf, pulled out a three-character scripture, and quickly turned over the pages one by one, she could memorize the book, and after looking at the typesetting, she planned to write a book by herself and nail it with a thread.
