Chapter 62: Visiting the County

"Then I'll look for Uncle Liu later, Uncle Liu, don't bother me?" Gu Chengyu replied half-jokingly.

"What is this talking about? Just come. This time I went back, help me say hello to Li Langzhong, let him come to play often, it has been three years since he last came, and he has never come to see my old acquaintance. ”

"Uncle Liu, don't worry! The kid must have brought the words. Gu Chengyu saw his father packing up the silver ticket and hurriedly stepped forward to help.

Shopkeeper Liu watched Daddy Gu pick up the silver ticket and look at it a few times, so together with the silver, he took out two taels of silver, presumably to spend it on the road. The rest was put in the rolled up quilt he brought, and then put it into the sack he had just brought back, and when Gu Chengyu stepped forward to help halfway, he had actually already put the silver ticket and silver into the space, and Father Gu didn't know it. Shopkeeper Liu thought that even a thief wouldn't have thought that the silver was put in a small quilt in a sack, right? It should be safe to put the silver like this.

"Brother Gu, since you have come to the county seat, it is almost two o'clock at this time, it is better for me to be the east, so that you can taste the famous dishes of Wenxian Building in this county." Shopkeeper Liu thought about coming from afar, at this hour, he must be hungry, so he should eat something and hurry back.

"Thank you Uncle Liu for your kindness, but when we came, we rented an ox cart and asked the owner of the ox cart to wait for us at the gate of the county seat. When Gu Chengyu heard that he was going to eat in a restaurant, he hurriedly refused, the cost of the restaurant is a lot, and it can't make people break the bank, not to mention that they have just met, so why don't they go to eat other people's?

"Then since you have made an appointment with someone, I will not force you to stay. Brother Gu, next time you come to the county seat, you must come to me, so that I can do my best as a landlord. Shopkeeper Liu also knew that with so much silver on his body, even if he went to the restaurant, he couldn't rest assured, so it was better to go back earlier.

"Then shopkeeper Liu, let's leave." Daddy Gu still feels that his heart is pounding, he doesn't want to go to his eldest sister's house anymore, so he wants to go back directly and tell Wa'er and his mother, so that Wa'er and his mother are also happy. After following him for so many years, I haven't even seen fifty taels of silver.

"Uncle Liu, then we'll meet next time." Gu Chengyu saluted to Shopkeeper Liu as a farewell.

Shopkeeper Liu sent the Gu family to the gate of the medical hall, "Shopkeeper Liu stays, let's go back." Father Gu turned back to Shopkeeper Liu and said.

"Then I'll send it here, you guys be careful on the road." After that, he went in.

"Dad, let's buy something in the county, shall we? Don't you have to bring something back? Also, is it true that you said you were going to my aunt's house? If it's true, then you have to bring some snacks or something, right? Gu Chengyu saw that the county was so lively, he really wanted to go shopping, he seemed to buy something to thank Dongzi, and he had to say hello when he left.

After thinking about it, he pulled his father's sleeve again, made him lower his head, and whispered to him that the silver had been put up by him. Daddy Gu was a little surprised when he heard this, why was it so fast? Obviously, he put it in the quilt himself just now.

"Really? But the ox cart is still waiting for us! I have this plan to go to your aunt's house. "Daddy Gu was a little hesitant, in fact, it was rare to come to the county seat, he also wanted to buy some things, and he didn't need to worry about the silver in the immortals. After thinking about it, I finally decided to go shopping.

"Boss, you go to the city gate first to see if the driver is still there, if so, let him wait, anyway, we are still doing his business." If not, don't come to look for us, just wait there, don't get separated from us, Xiaobao and I will go buy something and come back, and we won't wander around. You take the bag and quilt, and it is inconvenient for me and Xiaobao to hold it. "Daddy Gu is afraid that the people who are driving the car will be in a hurry, and it is not easy for people, so if they buy something and leave, it is better to let the boss wait there with his things.

"What? What is this? I don't dare! Father! Gu Chengli was actually impatient to wander around with people, but he knew that there was silver in this quilt, and his hands would tremble if he walked to the city gate alone with so much silver.

"If you take it, what are you afraid of? Don't keep staring at it, or you're not telling people that you have something in here? Go ahead! "Father Gu is a little depressed, this eldest son has to practice his courage.

Father Gu and Gu Chengyu watched their eldest brother walk towards the city gate, then turned around and walked into the crowd.

The two walked on the street, glancing at every stall they passed by, and Daddy Gu thought that if he went to the eldest sister's house, he would have to buy a bag of dim sum and some brown sugar, which was also expensive! Pull on a piece of cloth again, and the gift is complete.

But Gu Chengyu didn't look at this, he thought that it was better to buy some food and give it to Brother Dongzi, people always helped, and besides, his sense of Brother Dongzi was not bad.

Someone stopped at each stall for money, and the stall owner only shouted, and if someone came, he would vigorously introduce the goods on his stall.

Gu Chengyu pulled Gu Lao's father to a stall selling cooked food and stopped, smelling the fragrance of braised meat, Gu Chengyu almost left his saliva. "Dad, Brother Dongzi also helped us, why don't you buy two braised pig's trotters to thank him, people don't necessarily want money, it's better to eat, let's buy some back and let the family taste it."

"It's okay, but let's forget it, let's go to your aunt's house, it's not convenient to carry this pig's trotters, isn't it?" Father Gu thought that he was buying food and using it at home, so it was better to go back and buy it in the town.

When the stall owner saw that someone wanted to buy pig's trotters, he immediately became energetic, "Big brother, you still have a vision!" My blind man has been selling braised pork here for more than ten years, and you can rest assured that you still want to eat it. What's up? Two? Buy it for the baby to taste? ”

"Dad, my aunt's house doesn't necessarily have to go today! You can go there tomorrow too! It's not too early now, it's going to be dark, it's better to go tomorrow! Gu Chengyu didn't want to go to his aunt's house, but in addition, he had been in a hurry for a long time today, and it would be afternoon to go back, so his mother must be worried at home.

"Forget it, it's okay, let's go tomorrow! It's really in a hurry today, and I don't need to buy that gift today, so I'll buy it again tomorrow when I go to town. How did you buy this pig's trotter? I took four trotters, cut them for me, and wrapped them in two portions. "Daddy Gu also thinks it's a bit of a hurry to go to the eldest sister's house today, so let's go tomorrow! He also raised his voice and asked the stall owner to cut four pig's trotters, so that he could go back to relieve the babies' hunger.

"Hey! Okay! Pig's trotters are thirteen pounds, look at the eldest brother is also a painful baby, I'll cut it for you? The stall owner said that, but he had already chopped the pig's trotters with a knife in his hand, and in two clicks, the pig's trotters were chopped up, "Praise you!" It's exactly five catties and one tael, and I'll count five catties for you, a total of sixty-five wen. Then he neatly took out two pieces of oiled paper and wrapped the pig's trotters, and pulled out two ropes to tie the oiled paper tightly.

Gu Chengyu felt that this stall owner was very shrewd, and he was a little slippery, and he chopped up the pig's trotters before he could weigh it, even if others didn't want it, but this stall owner had a good eloquence, but it was annoying.

When Daddy Gu heard that he wanted sixty-five Wen, he only felt that his flesh hurt, why are things in this county so expensive? took out a string of copper coins from his body, this was what Lu asked him to bring with him before going out, a total of two hundred wen, Father Gu counted the copper coins in his hand, and his heart was still painful.
