Chapter IX Agreed

Just when Shopkeeper Li was thinking about the right price, the only guest at the table in the welcome building walked over.

"Shopkeeper Li, what kind of good dishes are you eating, don't say invite someone Zhao to taste it, I, Zhao Dali, am an old customer of your welcome building." The guest said with a bold face.

Shopkeeper Li also said with a smile: "What Brother Zhao said is, isn't this the Yingbin Building trying new dishes today, we have just tasted it, if it tastes good, we will naturally give it to Brother Zhao to taste for free." Since Brother Zhao is interested, why don't you taste this new dish with us? "This Zhao Dali is a resident of the street behind the Yingbin Building, and he is also a loyal customer of the Yingbin Building.

Zhao Dali nodded and readily agreed, he smelled the smell at the table from afar, but he was a little embarrassed before, but then he looked at the fish on the table, and he couldn't bear it anymore, so he came over cheekily.

After nodding his head, he immediately picked up the chopsticks on the table and began to taste them. After tasting it, his eyes lit up and he nodded again and again: "It's delicious, it's delicious, shopkeeper Li, this new dish is good, hurry up and serve me a plate." ”

"Haha, since Brother Zhao likes it, this dish on the table should be used as a welcome building to thank Brother Zhao for taking care of him for many years. Today's new dish trial, only one plate was made, tomorrow the new dish will be officially on sale, and then Brother Zhao will be invited to support more. ”

"It's good to say, it's good to say, I've been eating the welcome building for more than ten years, and I have a lot of feelings for it, seeing that the business is sluggish, I'm also anxious for you, now it's okay, your new dish will definitely sell well, and then the business will definitely be good again." Tomorrow I will definitely bring a few more friends to help you spread the word. ”

Shopkeeper Li was greatly moved when he heard this, and got up and said: "Then thank you Brother Zhao, Brother Zhao will come to eat tomorrow, and I will give you half price for the dishes." ”

After some pleasantries, Zhao Dali took the plate of quinoa bacon to his original dinner table.

Here, Shopkeeper Li finally gave a suitable price.

"Fifty wen a catty, what does Brother Xu think?" Xu Qingyan listened to it and secretly calculated in her heart that a penny in this time and space was equivalent to the purchasing power of a penny in her previous life. Fifty wen is equivalent to fifty yuan a catty, which is already a sky-high price in vegetables, but who makes quinoa a rare and expensive, and a strange commodity to live in.

"Okay, okay, we naturally believe in the welcome building, just this price." Xu Guanghua rubbed his hands back and forth under the table, his heart was excited, but his face was still calm. Fifty wen a catty, that can buy five catties of rice, today I brought twenty catties, if you take all of them to buy rice, you can buy a hundred catties, but it is enough for the family to eat for a month.

"I don't know how many quinoa brothers brought today?"

"Well, I brought twenty catties, I used one catty to cook before, and the remaining nineteen catties are in this back basket, and we have bundled one catty with one catty."

Shopkeeper Li looked at the quinoa in the back basket, it was clean and fresh, and couldn't help but nod and said, "Okay, then leave the rest." After that, he said: "I also hope that Brother Xu will tell me the specific residence, I will sell this quinoa tomorrow, and you will come again the day after tomorrow, and then according to today's trial sale, I will determine how many catties I will want in the future." ”

Xu Guanghua naturally nodded in agreement, left the address and took the silver tael of the quinoa sold, and then went out with the Hu mother and daughter.

On the road, Xu Guanghua kept touching the silver taels, and until now he was still a little excited, but he didn't expect that the inconspicuous weeds could be sold for so much silver, and these two silvers were the income of ordinary farmers for half a year.

"Dad, let's buy some rice and go back, there is almost no rice in the pot at home, and I can't eat enough gruel every day."

"Hey, buy, let's buy it now, buy more, in the past, my father and mother had no ability, so you couldn't eat, but now it's okay, our family has made money, and this time we will definitely let you eat enough."

The family entered the rice shop and only bought ten catties of rice, because the rice was too expensive, and the Xu family could not be luxurious enough to eat white rice for a meal. Ten pounds of white noodles and thirty pounds of black noodles.

I wanted to buy more brown rice, but brown rice was cheap, and the price was only half of that of rice. But considering that only Xu Guanghua brought a front basket today, he couldn't put too many things. If you want to hire a car to go back, it is too eye-catching, and the Xu family doesn't want to be noticed now, so the rest is still to buy it tomorrow. A pound of rice costs ten cents a pound, eight cents for white flour, and four cents a pound for black flour.

In the end, it cost a total of 400 wen to buy grain, and the remaining 600 wen, Hu Shi didn't let it move anymore. Xu Qingyan couldn't help but sigh that this money is really not forbidden, there are 600 yuan left for a thousand yuan, the price of grain in this ancient world is much higher than in the previous life, and then I thought about it, the output of grain today is low, and the harvest in the field depends on God to eat, and it is normal to be a little more expensive.

"Dad, is there a bookstore in this county, I want to go and see." Thinking of her brush, Xu Qingyan asked.

"Yes, what about South Street, why does my girl want to be a female gentleman? The words Dad taught you aren't enough for you. ”

The Xu family is literate, Xu Qingyan learned this from Xu Qingjun, when she first learned about it, Xu Qingyan was half surprised, the family didn't look like they were rich in studying.

Later, I learned that the original grandfather Xu Yuan was a child of a small rich family when he was young, and he studied for a few years, but he didn't get famous, but there was no problem with literacy, but later the family fell into the middle of the road, and he went to a foreign land, and he went at a young age, but before he died, he taught a few children to read.

It's just that because he died too early, several children didn't learn too much. At that time, Xu Guanghua had just been born, and the words he recognized were taught by his sisters and elder brothers. Originally, Xu Qingyan's uncle and aunt didn't study all time, and they forgot some after a long time, and then waited for Xu Guanghua to teach Xu Qingyan's sister and brother, and Xu Qingyan only knew a hundred words.

But this is also a great thing in the countryside, after all, most of the people in the countryside are poor, and it is already a very good family to be fed and clothed, so how can there be extra money for children to study. And because the Xu family is relatively low-key, no one knows that the Xu family is literate until now.

"Sanjue Bookstore" is located on South Street, a two-door shop, reading is quite a money-burning thing in this era, in fact, how was it not in the previous life. Although the state later implemented nine-year compulsory education and exempted tuition fees, there are still many children in mountainous areas who cannot afford to go to school, and many children from ordinary families are overcharged by schools under the guise of various fees.

Looking at the face of a three-character scripture also costs 300 texts, Xu Qingyan secretly smacked her tongue, and then looked at the most inferior brush, which also cost 200 texts, Xu Qingyan secretly complained that it was so expensive, how could she open her mouth with the Hu family, according to the Hu family's character, she would definitely not give up. Even so, Xu Qingyan still wanted to try.

"Mother, can you buy me a brush, I want this one, this one is the cheapest." Xu Qingyan chose the cheapest one very wisely and pointed it out to Hu.

Hu Erniang looked at the price of the brush and said: "What pen to buy, such an expensive thing, not suitable for eating and drinking, wait until when our family has the money to send your brother to study." ”

"I knew it was going to be the result." Xu Qingyan secretly slandered in her heart.

Xu Guanghua wanted to buy it for Xu Qingyan, but seeing Hu's resolute attitude and thinking about the situation at home, he had to dispel his thoughts. Thinking that in two days, if the welcome building ordered quinoa again, I sold it for money and bought it for Yan Yatou.

I have to say that Xu Guanghua is a good father who loves his daughter, and he does not have the idea of patriarchy, which is quite rare in ancient times. On the other hand, the Hu family, although she can't see any difference between the two children on weekdays, but in the end, in the end, she still values her son more, and her concept may be related to the fact that her mother's family has no brothers.
