I'm! I'm!

Zhang Qingting strode forward angrily, cursing the young man countless times in his heart along the way.

Zhang Jinbao didn't dare to come out, he followed behind honestly, but he couldn't help but be suspicious in his heart.

The young man spoke and acted in a crepe-like manner, and he was clearly the same as the teacher in the village. Among the young people in this neighborhood, only the sick ghost show of the Zhao family is in line with the age. But wasn't the man sick and dying? How can you still go out early in the morning to hurry?

And the eldest sister too, I only thought she walked strangely before, why didn't she even speak like that Xiucai, which made people unable to understand?

This question is too complicated for his brain to come up with, so he doesn't want to.

Under Zhang Qingting's anger, the next journey was much faster, and he arrived at the market in a short time.

Seeing that the famous pig-killing female champion was back, the neighbors greeted them warmly.

"The eldest daughter of the Zhang family, which house did you kill pigs today?"

"I heard that you're going to get married, so will you still do this in the future?"

"I must still do it, or who will our family go to kill pigs next time?"

"Whoa! How can I get engaged and become shy, and I don't care about people. Ha ha! Do you want to be a talented lady, and you have to pretend to be a lady? ”

……

Zhang Qingting's face was expressionless and ignored him. But I was really angry in my heart, who are these people! This dragonfly is too, willing to fall, what is it bad, you have to kill pigs! Shame on you!

"Sister, where are we going?" Zhang Jinbao looked at her face and cautiously asked.

This bazaar is not big, just two streets of shops, even if Zhang Qingting does not recognize the road, it is easy to see a big "dang" signboard swaying leisurely in the air.

With a sound of "dang", Zhang Qingting slapped the sharp knife of the cow ear on the high pawnshop counter, and there was only one word, "Dang!" ”

"Sister, what are you doing here?" Zhang Jinbao's face changed, although he was not sensible, he also knew that no matter how poor he was, he couldn't be a guy who could eat!

The old pawnshop shopkeeper poked his gray head out of the small window, "Ah! It's the eldest daughter of the Zhang family, why did you even take this knife? ”

"How much is it worth?" Zhang Qingting was too lazy to talk nonsense, the whole family looked at it, and this knife was worth two dollars. If you don't have it, where is your breakfast today?

"Hmm...... the old shopkeeper hesitated, "how long are you going to be there?" ”

"Die!" Zhang Qingting's answer was categorical.

Zhang Jinbao's face turned green, and the eldest sister was ruthless and didn't work. He hurriedly pulled out three pennies from the waistband of his trousers, "Eldest sister, don't worry, I still have a few pennies here, our family can still live today, don't be this knife!" ”

It turned out that he still had a small private house, I said how could that family be so poor! Zhang Qingting took the money quietly, turned around and said, "Shopkeeper, hurry up and make a price!" ”

The old shopkeeper saw that she had made up her mind, so he picked up the knife and observed carefully, the knife is a good knife, and the people who use it are also very cherished, although it is a little old, but there is not even a gap. The market price of this knife is 30 Wen, all of them are old acquaintances, and the old shopkeeper did not open a false price, "Death should be fifteen Wen, and life should be seven Wen." ”

"Die." Zhang Qingting repeated it with some impatience.

The old shopkeeper said no more, took out fifteen copper plates and handed them out along with the contract.

Zhang Qingting was a little surprised when he saw that there was only an inkstone, "What about the pen?" ”

This time it's the old shopkeeper's turn to be surprised, can this eldest daughter of the Zhang family still write?

Zhang Qingting took the pen, and just wrote a little bit of the chapter word, and suddenly felt that it was wrong, so he changed it to the word Zhang Dragonfly.

But let the old shopkeeper take this contract and squint at it for a long time, how can this girl still write a good hand?

With a few dollars on her, Zhang Qingting was in a much better mood, thinking that she had to get something to eat first, and then find a home inn to live in, the experience of sitting on the ground in the open air was enough once, and she didn't want to come back again.

"Steamed buns! Hot meat buns and big steamed buns! ”

The man's hard shouting and fragrant taste attracted Zhang Qingting's attention. There are only eighteen copper plates in total, and she is not so ambitious that she wants to go to the restaurant.

"How much does this bun cost?"

"One penny for one, two pennies for steamed buns."

Looking at the meat buns the size of four or five xiaolongbao at home, Zhang Qingting only bought one.

"Big sister!" There was a fart worm behind him who swallowed his saliva very exaggeratedly, and when he saw Zhang Qingting's cold eyes, he hurriedly said, "I'll just eat steamed buns!" ”

Zhang Qingting was displeased, but he still handed over another copper plate, and Zhang Jinbao happily took two big white steamed buns and gnawed happily.

"Big sister!" Suddenly, someone called weakly behind him, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was Zhang Xiaodie's girl, who greeted her with a smile, "I was afraid that the eldest sister would ask for help, so I followed." ”

If you don't come out early or late, you jump out as soon as you have something to eat. Is this house of locusts? Zhang Qingting glanced behind her with an unkind face, and if he wanted to come out, he would come out at once, and don't bother to jump out one by one.

Zhang Xiaodie understood, "Don't worry, eldest sister, I came out very carefully, and no one will follow behind!" ”

Zhang Qingting was about to throw a copper plate to her, but suddenly remembered the private money that Zhang Jinbao had stolen, and was a little troubled, "Don't you have any money on you?" ”

"Not really!" Zhang Xiaodie waved her hand again and again, and said flatteringly, "But Dad still has two coins hidden in his hand!" ”

Zhang Qingting rewarded her with a copper plate, calculating in her heart, how to get out the money of the dry old man when she turned around.

Zhang Xiaodie did the same, bought a big meat bun and nibbled on it, but she couldn't learn the elegance of the eldest sister now, she gnawed it clean in two bites, and the corners of her mouth were smeared with oil, she felt that she was not too full, and secretly regretted that she should buy two big white steamed buns to be cost-effective.

First of all, I have to solve the accommodation problem tonight, and when I got to the inn, I inquired, and the cheapest single room cost ten cents a night. There are fifteen wen left, how can you afford to live here?

Zhang Jinbao came up with an idea randomly, "Eldest sister, the shop is cheap, two pennies per person, our family of seven can occupy half of the room, and then I will leave the best piece to you." ”

Zhang Qingting was speechless, she didn't want to be crowded with this family anymore!

"You're not too young, and you don't know how to find some work on the street with this time to nag in my ear?"

Well, Zhang Jinbao was scolded silently, bowing his head and pretending to be deaf and dumb.

Earn? He doesn't have the skills of an eldest sister. As long as the eldest sister is there, they will never be hungry.

Zhang Qingting suddenly began to understand Zhang Dragonfly's mood of hanging, just like now, she really wanted to close her eyes and don't care about anything. But the people behind her followed her like a shadow, and she didn't let her stop at all.

After all, Zhang Daqianjin is from everyone's beautiful background, in addition to paying attention to the stability of the surface as Mount Tai, he also knows the general situation and understands what is called priority.

Now is not the time to complain, but to think of ways to earn money, at least to solve your own food, clothing and accommodation problems. The most representative of a local economy and livelihood is of course the market.

Zhang Qingting took out the energy of shopping, took the two followers, and slowly looked at this small market.

Bei'an is dominated by animal husbandry, and the area around Zaranbao is rich in water and grass, and it can be regarded as a moderately wealthy place in Bei'an.

Ordinary farmers, such as the Zhang family, used to farm and grow vegetables, raise pigs and feed chickens. Families with thin assets will raise a few cattle and sheep, and only a few really wealthy families can afford to run pastures and raise horses.

The horse, the head of the armor soldiers, is also the great use of the country.

This is a sentence that Zhang Qingting's father, that is, Nan Kangguo, often hangs on his lips from Zhang Zhizhi, the Qingqing of the Sanpin Taifu Temple. He, as an official, is in charge of the country's horse politics.

To put it bluntly, that's a Bimawen! However, only the mother dares to laugh a few words behind her back, but the family is familiar with it, and they still know a little bit about this horse scripture.

The land of Nankang is fertile, mostly farming, the scale of horse breeding is not large, most of them are operated by officials, mainly used for military preparation and the use of imperial relatives, and a small number of inferior horses are sold into the private ploughing fields.

Unlike Bei'an, horse breeding is an important economic pillar of the imperial court. Both the official family and the private wealthy have selective breeding. If you look at more than half of the shops on this street are related to horses, you can see how prosperous it is.

Zhang Qingting was very emotional, if her father came to Bei'an to be an official, I am afraid there would be no need to complain about not being valued by the imperial court.

But the immediate priority is how to solve the problem of food and accommodation tonight? Even if she has the money in her hand, she can only support herself for one night at most. Alas! It really painstakingly made her work.

Suddenly, I heard Zhang Jinbao, who had been quiet behind him, shout suddenly, "Stop!" Don't run! ”

It was too late, but it was too late, and I saw others rushing out.

At the same time, Zhang Xiaodie rushed out, but she didn't forget to leave the next sentence, "Daddy is there!" Let's stop him! ”

Zhang Qingting only felt a flower in front of him, and the two figures rushed out more than a dozen steps away. It's really moving!

She suddenly had an idea, let this family go and catch rabbits, maybe it will be true!
