Chapter 22: Buying Meat

Cloud shopkeeper: "So be it! The old man sees that you are quite eye-catching, so I will borrow a book of medicinal herbs to show you for three days, and after three days, no matter how much you remember, I will take the book back, how about it? ”

"Really? Thank you, Uncle Yun! Lu Ziqing never thought that the cloud shopkeeper would be so generous, you must know that the current world is different from modern times, no matter what unique skills are here, they are all secret.

The books here are also super expensive, like this kind of medicinal herb book with pictures, it is even more difficult to find, and now the cloud shopkeeper said to lend it to herself for three days, can she not be overjoyed?

Yun Shopkeeper "Don't be in a hurry to thank me first, I also have a request, that is, no matter what medicinal materials you dig up in the future, when the purchase price is the same, you must sell it to our Yun Family Medical Center first!" ”

Lu Ziyun, who heard the request of the cloud shopkeeper on the side, was a little reluctant to agree, but Lu Ziqing spoke first.

"Good!" In Lu Ziqing's heart, this digging of medicinal materials is just a stepping board, if you want to make a fortune, it is impossible to dig medicinal materials, so she agreed very happily.

After all, the shopkeeper of the cloud is the shopkeeper of the medical hall, so he likes to sign the contract in black and white when he does anything, so he looked at Lu Ziqing and smiled

"Miss Lu, there is no basis for this, we had better sign a contract!"

Lu Ziqing: "No problem! ”

After the two parties agreed, the cloud shopkeeper began to write the contract, and when Lu Zixiao came out, he saw the cloud shopkeeper writing.

Xiao Zhang: "The shopkeeper, the medicinal herbs are weighed, 42 catties!" ”

Shopkeeper Yun's brows furrowed, he looked up at Xiao Zhang, and said unhappily, "Don't you see that I'm busy?" Now that I've weighed it, I'll settle the account first and then write the contract.

The 42 catties were purchased at a price of five cents for 210 cents. The cloud shopkeeper said while fiddling with the abacus.

After calculating, the cloud shopkeeper looked at Lu Ziqing and said, "Miss Lu, let's see if you have miscalculated!" ”

Lu Ziqing knows shorthand, so she can calculate it quickly without abacus, and small arithmetic like this can be quickly calculated even by elementary school students, so Lu Ziqing smiled and said

"That's right, Uncle Yun!"

The shopkeeper took out the copper coin from the counter and counted 210 Wen, handed it to Lu Ziqing and smiled

"Miss Lu, this is 210 yuan, see if there is anything wrong!"

Lu Ziqing took the copper coin, took the purse from Lu Ziyun and put it up directly, and looked at the cloud shopkeeper

"I believe in Uncle Yun, so don't point it!"

Looking at Lu Ziqing's movements, the cloud shopkeeper smiled with satisfaction, and then continued to write the contract, and after the contract was written, he looked at Lu Ziqing and said

"Miss Lu, can you see if there is a problem with this contract?" After the cloud shopkeeper asked, he regretted it, and just wanted to say that he would find someone to see it on his behalf, but he saw Lu Ziqing pick up the contract.

Lu Ziqing looked at the contract, and after finding nothing wrong, she looked at Lu Ziyun and said

"Eldest sister, sign it!"

Although the original owner is literate, but because he is autistic, he can't write, as a modern person, he can't write this calligraphy, this Lu Zixiao will be scientific research in the future, so Lu Ziqing had to let Lu Ziyun sign.

Lu Ziyun also knew that it was impossible for Lu Zixiao to sign, so she nodded, picked up the pen, and signed her name.

Looking at the Juanxiu characters on the contract, the cloud shopkeeper was surprised, he didn't expect that these three sisters and brothers not only knew how to read, but also that this eldest sister could also write good words, so he glanced at these three sisters and brothers again and praised them

"Not bad, not bad! I didn't expect Miss Lu's handwriting to be so good! ”

Lu Ziyun smiled and said, "Thank you Uncle Yun for the compliment, my father is a famous talent, so the little girl has learned some words since she was a child!" ”

Cloud shopkeeper: "It turned out that he was born in a scholarly family!" ”

Lu Ziyun still smiled and said, "Uncle Yun praised it falsely, this scholarly family is not a family, it can only be regarded as a family of cultivators!" ”

"No arrogance, no impatience! Not bad! The cloud shopkeeper touched his mustache and nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing that the time was not early, Lu Ziqing looked at the cloud shopkeeper and smiled

"Uncle Yun, it's not too early, we still need to buy things, and we live in Lujia Village, so we'll leave first!"

"Alright then!" The cloud shopkeeper responded, then looked at Xiao Zhang and said, "Xiao Zhang, you go to Dr. Ai and ask him to bring the translated herb to Miss Lu!" ”

"Hey!" Xiao Zhang answered, and went to the doctor Ai to ask for the medicinal materials book and handed it to Lu Ziqing.

Lu Ziqing took the book, thanked the shopkeeper, and the three sisters and brothers left the pharmacy.

Looking at Lu Zixiao and the three of them who came out empty-handed, Lu Ziyi got down from the ox cart and said

"Sold?"

"It's sold, and it's sold for more than 200 yuan, Ziyi, don't you know, this knotweed is worth more than eggs!" Lu Zixiao happily hugged Lu Ziyi and talked eloquently.

Lu Ziyi, who was hugged by Lu Zixiao, said with some disbelief, "Really? ”

Lu Zixiao rolled his eyes and said, "It's not true, don't you just ask the eldest sister and Qing'er?" ”

Hearing Lu Zixiao, who had changed his name, Lu Ziyi was a little convinced, "Since it is sold, then everyone will get in the car, go buy oil, and then go home!" ”

Lu Zixiao patted Lu Ziyi on the shoulder, hugged him and walked to the ox cart, and said with high interest, "Yes, we not only want to buy oil, but also meat." ”

"Buying meat?" Lu Ziyi looked at Lu Zixiao suspiciously, "Why?" ”

Lu Zixiao jumped on the ox cart, looked at Lu Ziyi, who jumped on the ox cart together, and said, "Of course it's a celebration!" ”

Lu Ziqing, who had never touched meat before, was the most satisfied with Lu Zixiao's proposal, so after she got into the ox cart, she looked at Lu Ziyi, who was driving the car

"Brother, Qing'er really wants to eat meat!" After finishing speaking, she looked at Lu Ziyun and Lu Zixi and asked, "Eldest sister, Xi'er, don't you want to eat meat?" ”

"Yes!" Lu Zixi is still young and can't hide her emotions, so she replied directly.

But Lu Ziyun won't, even if she wants to eat meat, she will think about saving money for her brothers at home, so she shook her head and said

"Ziqing, Zixiao, they will go to the academy to study in the future, let's save this money! Don't buy this meat, just let the second aunt cook all the oil residue cakes at night! ”

Lu Ziqing rolled her eyes and said, "Sister, the knotweed at the foot of the mountain is at least a few hundred catties!" After digging at the foot of the mountain, we are digging somewhere else.

There are also medicinal materials in this medicine book, even if we dig up medicinal materials, we can send our brothers to study! ”

Lu Ziyun: "But ......?" ”

"Oh, eldest sister, don't do it, although that oil residue cake is also meaty, how can there be delicious meat? Let's buy two catties of meat! Lu Ziqing shook Lu Ziyun's arm and gave Lu Zixi a look by the way.

"Eldest sister, Xi'er also wants to eat meat, let's buy some meat, okay?" Lu Zixi also shook Lu Ziyun's arm and begged.

Lu Ziyun, who was a little dizzy and was shaken by the two, finally said helplessly, "Then let's buy two lean meats?" ”

"Thank you, big sister!" Lu Ziqing, Lu Zixi, and Lu Zixiao said at the same time.

Because it was pork, even if the market had long been dispersed, the pork shop was still not closed, so the ox cart stopped at the door of the pork shop.

The sisters and brothers got out of the ox cart and walked to the pork shop, looking at the little pork left, Lu Ziqing was the first to speak

"Boss, how do you sell this lard?"

Boss "20 dollars a pound!" ”

Lu Ziqing: "Lean meat?" ”

Boss "15 money!" ”

Hearing the price, Lu Ziqing sighed in her heart, sure enough, just like in the novel, the fat meat of the ancient people was more expensive than the lean meat, so she looked at the boss and said

"Then bring me 5 catties of lard and 2 catties of lean meat!"

"Hey! All right! The boss happily weighed the rest of the lard.

Lu Ziqing looked at the pork stall, but didn't see the remaining pork bones, and said in her heart, "It seems that there will be a difference in the novel!" ’
