Chapter 81: 81
The same process as every previous time, Mingjing first went to hand over the herbs, and then grabbed the medicine. Because Zhao Langzhong came from the Ling family, today was earlier than usual, and it was not yet time for Shen. Mingjing is going to buy some pork. If you buy it at this point, it will be a little cheaper than in the morning.
Uncle Wang knew and wondered, "Why don't you buy it in the village?" "The village is obviously cheaper than the county seat.
"Well, I just calculated, plus this time I have been selling herbs for half a month, which is just enough to offset my father's medicine money." Mingjing's hard work in collecting medicine for half a month is just two taels of silver. This is also due to the money that had a few pairs of medicines for the big house before, so there is no need to make up for the additional medicine money.
Uncle Wang understood, if he couldn't resist this, he didn't plan to cut the meat and eat it. He nodded, "Then you go, I'll wait for you at the city gate." ”
"yes, okay." Mingjing first went to the embroidery workshop and handed over the embroidery, and then went to the stall selling meat. Counting the income of half a tael of the embroidery workshop, this half month is finally worth breaking even, but there is no surplus at all. If it weren't for the thirty taels of silver, this day would have been really tight.
Since you go to the embroidery workshop, you will naturally pass by your own inn. Mingjing stood across the street and watched, slightly anxious. At present, the income and expenditure are barely offset, and thirty taels of silver is not enough to renovate the inn. Ming Hao's husband said that he could enter the school next year, and the expansion of the school palace was imminent. But at present, there is no other income to be found for the time being. I had to walk and watch it first. It's really not good, when the time comes, she wants to borrow some from Brother Zhao and Uncle Zhang. As long as the inn can be opened smoothly, the income should still be okay.
With this in mind, Mingjing went all the way to the stall selling meat. At this time, several butchers in the county town are indeed about to close their stalls or have already closed their stalls. Mingjing saw at a glance the stall of the gambling butcher who beat his daughter-in-law on the street before, and then walked over directly.
At this time, the butcher was no longer in the stall, and he was afraid that he would get the money and go to the casino again. At the stall, it was his daughter-in-law who watched the remaining pieces of lean meat and some pigs go into the water.
"Girl, which piece of meat do you want?" The butcher lady said with a smile on her face.
Mingjing looked at her twice, and the other party didn't seem to recognize her. So he said, "I want this piece of lean meat, what can you give me?" "Recently, in order to make it easier for her to work, she wears very light clothes, which is much different from the way she first met on the road.
The butcher's mother looked embarrassed, "The child's father has said the number of each piece of meat, and the head has been set." This piece is too small to add to it. I don't dare to change what he commands! ”
"Forget it, don't embarrass you. Bring me this piece, how much is it? ”
"This piece is three taels per catty, twenty wen."
"That's already three or four cents cheaper."
"Isn't it, it's going to be cheaper now."
Mingjing took out the copper plate from his purse, "Sister, I haven't seen a female butcher yet." ”
"I'm not a butcher, I'm a man. He walked away with something and told me to look at the stall for a while. ”
took the meat wrapped by the butcher lady and put it in the back basket, and said with a clear smile: "Looking at the appearance and conversation of the eldest sister, it seems that she came out of a family that knows books and etiquette." "The implication is that I never imagined that I would marry a rude butcher.
The butcher lady was slightly stunned, as if she remembered something from the past. Then he smiled in disguise, "How could I be from someone who knows books and etiquette." But I used to serve in the little master's study, and I just recognized a few words. ”
