People are heroes, money is courage, Cai Zijun brothers and sisters held silver coins in their hands, and they walked on the street with the wind, and the three of them went back to the vegetable market first and went to the vegetable market to buy meat for the New Year.

Because I don't know how much silver I can sell today, whether I can sell it or not, when I came, Li and Cai Dazhu only said that they would let the three of them bring some New Year's goods back by the way, and they didn't say how much to buy, so now only the three of them are in charge of the quantity, and they are estimated to buy it.

When I walked to the meat stall, I asked about the price, and the price was about the same as what the butcher in the village sold, fifteen wen a pound of fat meat, twelve wen a pound of lean meat, and thirteen wen a pound of half-fat and half-thin meat.

"Uncle, let's buy more, can you give us a cheaper?" Cai Zijun began to bargain.

"Ah, little girl, my meat is not expensive, you ask everywhere, it is all at this price. Now, there is a war going on outside, as long as it is food, it is in great demand, and it is good that we have not increased the price. ”

"Uncle, we want to buy twenty catties of fat meat and twenty catties of lean meat, it's not too little to buy, right, you can give us a cheaper? Besides, you see, that's all you have left on your stall, you're cheaper, we've bought them all, and you'd better go home early! ”

When the man who sold meat heard this, he did buy a lot, and there were almost all left on his meat stall, so he first reached out and weighed the rest of the meat, "Little girl, twenty-one catties of fat and twenty-four catties of lean meat, if you buy them all, I will be cheaper for one catty." "The man who sells meat is also refreshing.

He is refreshing, Cai Zijun is also refreshing, a total of forty-five catties of meat, one catty is cheaper than a penny, that is, three catties of fat is cheaper, nodded, and waved his little hand: "Okay, buy it all!" ”

Cai Qirong and Cai Qigui were dumbfounded, "Little sister, there are too many, there are pigs at home!" ”

Cai Zijun didn't reply, "Isn't it still young?" You can't kill it during the New Year! These meats, eat them for the New Year, eat them today, go back today, and I'll make boiled meat slices for you to eat, and treat you. ”

As soon as they heard that they were making boiled meat slices to eat, the two brothers immediately stopped talking, and at the same time swallowed their saliva, and the butcher saw that it turned out to be a little girl who was in charge, and immediately cut the fat and lean meat into pieces of two or three catties according to Cai Zijun's request, put them on a rope, and put them into the big wooden barrel of bean sprouts one by one.

Hua Zijun had already calculated in his mind, forty-five catties of pork, a total of five hundred and fifty-eight wen, five hundred wen was given to broken silver, and fifty-eight wen was given to copper plates.

The butcher happily accepted the silver and copper plates, Cai Zijun saw that there were still a few big bones on the stall, and asked the butcher: "Uncle, how did you sell those big bones?" ”

The butcher glanced at the big bone in disgust, waved his big hand and said, "Little girl, if you want it, I'll give it to you, it's not worth a few dollars." ”

"Okay, then thank you, uncle.

He disliked it, but Cai Zijun didn't dislike it, so he happily asked Cai Qigui to take the four meat bones from the stall and put them into the wooden barrel.

The three brothers and sisters went to the grain shop, bought twenty-five catties of white noodles, twenty-five catties of mixed noodles, and at Cai Zijun's insistence, bought fifteen catties of polished rice, saying that they would take it back to boil porridge to eat, although the Cai family did not have much land, but they did not have to pay taxes, and the grain produced in the fields at home was for the family to eat all year round, mixed with some vegetables and sweet potatoes to eat, it was enough, so basically there was no need to buy rice.

In ancient times, whether it was wheat or rice, the yield per mu was not high, so, compared to modern times, whether it was flour or rice, it was frighteningly expensive, and there was a war outside, the price was higher, good polished rice and white flour were sold for fifteen wen a catty, a catty of fat pork, and even miscellaneous noodles were sold for ten wen a catty, so the grain shop was calculated and spent another eight hundred and fifty wen.

In this way, the grain and pork cost one tael of silver or four hundred and eight wen, and more than half of the silver earned today was wiped out, and the money bag quickly deflated.

Cai Zijun touched the money bag and shook his head, since ancient times, no matter which dynasty it is, it is easy to spend money and difficult to make money!

"Third brother, fourth brother, there are only four hundred and eighty-two pieces of silver left in the silver earned today, what else do we have to buy?" Cai Zijun raised his head and asked the two.

The two brothers twitched the corners of their mouths wildly, and they still bought it? If you buy it back, all three of you will be scolded!

"Oh, by the way, to make boiled pork slices, you have to buy sesame peppers, where are the peppers?"

"It's in the pharmacy." The two brothers had been lured by the boiled pork slices, so when Cai Zijun asked, the two replied in unison.

"Okay, then go to the pharmacy to buy peppers, third brother, lead the way!" There's a live navigation here, no need to use it in vain.

The three brothers and sisters ran to the pharmacy, and when they passed by the grocery store on the way, they bought ten catties of sugar, ten boxes of general boxed snacks, ten catties of granulated sugar are not only used for the New Year, but also because of the habits of Dongchu, when they go to their relatives' houses to pay New Year's greetings, they have to take the sugar to go, and they almost have to go to the elders' houses to pay New Year's greetings, take a pound of sugar and a box of snacks. This is also the reason why Cai Zijun bought a lot of meat for the New Year and divided it into pieces.

The sugar is five wen a catty, and the boxed dim sum is also five wen a box, all of a sudden, it cost another hundred wen, only three hundred and eighty-two wen remained, the three brothers and sisters went to the pharmacy and asked the pharmacy guy, the pepper costs two wen for one penny, Cai Zijun is ready to buy one or two back, and it is enough for cooking vegetables during the New Year.

In ancient times, one tael was equal to ten yuan, and Cai Zijun said to the guy at the counter: "Big brother, give me ten yuan." ”

"Okay." The shopkeeper quickly weighed one or two peppers to Cai Zijun, Cai Zijun counted twenty copper plates from the money bag and gave them to the pharmacy guy, put the wrapped peppers into the basket, picked up the basket, and turned around to leave with the two brothers.

"Give way, give way, get out of the way!"

A person about eleven or two years old, dressed in a human uniform and looking like a little girl, rushed into the hospital hall with a roar, knocking the three brothers and sisters walking by the door into a stumbling one, Cai Zijun frowned, looked up at the back of the little guy, and shut up.

The little guy was followed by a group of people, men and women, old and young, following behind a middle-aged man in extraordinary clothes, and the middle-aged man was holding a little boy in his hand, the little boy was about four or five years old, with his eyes closed in the man's hands, his face was blue, his lips were purple, and his hands and feet were hung up.

Cai Zijun could see at a glance that the little boy was poisoned!

"Doctor, doctor...... Save my little boy, save my little boy! The little guy shouted at the top of his voice.

The pharmacy guy who had just sold peppers to Cai Zijun looked up and couldn't help but be surprised, because he recognized that the person holding the child was the county magistrate of Chang'an County, and the child in the county magistrate's hand was the little son of the county magistrate's family.

"Wait a minute, I'll go and ask Master to come out." The pharmacy guy threw down a sentence, lifted the curtain, and ran to the inner courtyard of the medical hall.
