Li Qingfeng woke up in a daze, and when he saw that he had arrived in the town, he smiled at Li Qingling a little embarrassed, and he didn't expect to fall asleep as soon as he sat in the back basket.

Li Qingling picked up the basket again, took his hand, and followed Liu Zhimo into the town.

Today is the market day, the town is very lively, there are the sounds of hawkers shouting everywhere, Li Qingling has not been here a few times in my memory, let alone that she is from modern times, where has she seen this kind of scene.

For a while, she was fascinated by it.

When passing by a steamed bun stall, Li Qingfeng smelled the fragrance of steamed buns and swallowed his saliva, but he pursed his mouth and turned his eyes, he knew that his family had no money and could not afford to buy steamed buns.

His reaction was seen by Li Qingling, she touched the wild ginseng in her sleeve, turned her head and asked Liu Zhimo, "Brother Zhimo, do you know where there is a pharmacy?" ”

They came out so early, they didn't eat, and they walked so far, not to mention Li Qingfeng, even she was hungry.

So she planned to sell the wild ginseng as soon as possible, eat something first, fill her stomach, and then go shopping.

Liu Zhimo was quite familiar with the town, and he took Li Qingling to another street, this street is called South Street, there are many shops and restaurants, and it looks very prosperous.

Li Qingling saw the difference from North Street to South Street, North Street is mostly visited by ordinary people, and South Street is visited by rich people.

"We're going to go to a pharmacy called Jishitang later, this pharmacy is not bullied, and the next time you want to sell medicine, go to this pharmacy." Liu Zhimo opened his mouth and popularized all the pharmacies in the town with her.

Li Qingling came to the conclusion that Jishitang serves well and treats the rich and the poor no differently, while Baicaotang, which is as famous as Jishitang, is very bullying and only serves the rich.

"Xiao Li Gongzi, are you here? Is it to buy medicine? Seeing Liu Zhimo and the three of them, the medicine boy greeted him and asked with a smile.

When Liu Zhimo's father and mother were sick, it was the doctor of Jishitang who saw him, and he came here several times to catch the medicine, and the medicine boy knew him.

Liu Zhimo shook his head, he pointed at Li Qingling and said to the medicine boy: "My sister wants to sell medicine, I don't know if the medicine store will accept it?" ”

Only then did the medicine boy look at Li Qingling, the smile on his face remained unchanged, "May I ask what medicine my little sister wants to sell?" ”

Li Qingling nodded secretly, the service of this pharmacy is really good, and she did not look down on her because she was young and shabby.

She took out the wild ginseng from her sleeve, opened the handkerchief and handed it to the medicine boy, "Little brother, I want to sell this wild ginseng, I don't know what the price is?" ”

"We'll have to show it to our shopkeeper, so please wait a moment." The medicine boy took the wild ginseng in Li Qingling's hand and went into the inner room.

Not long after, a middle-aged man with a short beard walked out with her ginseng, and Liu Zhimo saw him and called Shopkeeper Zhou with a smile.

"It's Xiao Li Gongzi, I haven't seen you for a long time." Shopkeeper Zhou was smiling and had a good impression of Liu Zhimo, but unfortunately Master Liu went early, and he dropped out of school because of this, otherwise the future is immeasurable, it's a pity.

"This is Shopkeeper Zhou." Liu Zhimo introduced to Li Qingling, and Li Qingling immediately bowed to the shopkeeper Zhou.

"Good shopkeeper Zhou!"

Shopkeeper Zhou stretched out his hand and stroked his beard, "Little girl, I saw this ginseng of yours, it was dug well, the roots are all there, but the year is not big, I can only give you one or two silver, what do you think?" ”

Li Qingling also knew that the ginseng was not very old, so it would not be very valuable, and she was already very satisfied if it could be sold for one or two silver.

"Yes!" She stretched out her hand and took the silver tael handed to her by Shopkeeper Zhou, "Shopkeeper, if I dig up other medicinal materials, can I still sell them to you?" ”

"Yes, depending on the price of the medicinal herbs."

"Thank you, shopkeeper!" Li Qingling bowed to Shopkeeper Zhou again, Shopkeeper Zhou waved his hand, and even said that he was not polite, but he sighed in his heart that this child was sincere.

After leaving Jishitang, Liu Zhimo took the two books he copied and went to the bookstore, when Li Qingling saw that Liu Zhimo copied two books to get twenty yuan, he was shocked for a moment, such a thick book, it only cost ten yuan, which is too cheap, and he also deeply realized that it is difficult to make money in this era.

Walking out of the bookstore, Liu Zhimo saw Li Qingling looking at him from time to time, he touched his face suspiciously, "What's wrong?" Do I have something on my face? ”

"Nope!" Li Qingling shook her head, she just suddenly felt a little sorry for him, from his solid family background to the days when he had a meal without a meal, it must have been very hard for him to come over alone, "I'm dying of hunger, let's go eat!" ”

She took a person in one hand, walked briskly to the North Street, and walked to the steamed bun stall, the boss saw that the business came to the door, and quickly spoke, "Does the little girl want to buy steamed buns?" A meat bun costs two pennies, a vegetable bun has a text, the package is big and stuffy, and you will go back after eating. ”

"Then I want six meat buns and six vegetable buns." As soon as Li Qingling spoke, Liu Zhimo glanced at her disapprovingly.

"You buy so much, can you eat it all?" Now that it is so difficult to make money, she has gone to eighteen yuan at once, and she can buy two catties of brown rice with two more yuan.

Originally, Li Qingfeng was quite happy when he heard that Li Qingling was going to buy so many buns, but in the blink of an eye, when he heard Liu Zhimo's words again, he was entangled again, hesitated for a moment, and then pulled Li Qingling's clothes, "Sister, it's good if you don't buy three, it costs a lot of money to buy so much." ”

Li Qingling asked the boss to wrap the buns while saying, "The three of us plus my mother, Zhiyan, and Rourou, there are six people in total, just two buns per person, why can't we finish eating?" I don't buy it often, it's just once. ”

Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that she even thought of his younger brothers and sisters, at this moment, his mood was quite complicated.

Seeing that she wanted to give money, he hurriedly stopped her, took out the book from his arms, and was going to buy twenty yuan for his sister to polish rice, counted eighteen wen and handed it to the owner of the bun stall.

Li Qingling raised his eyebrows and took his hand back very simply, I heard someone say in my previous life that to see whether a man loves you or not, it depends on whether you are willing to spend money for you.

Although she didn't know if Liu Zhimo loved her or not, she felt that he was a person who would hurt.

"It's delicious..."Li Qingfeng finally ate the meat bun he had been thinking about, and he was so happy that he couldn't even see it.

"Hot, eat slowly." Li Qingling put the other six buns into the back basket, and when he saw that Li Qingfeng was in a hurry, he hurriedly spoke up.

Li Qingfeng nodded, but the speed of biting the bun did not change, and Li Qingling didn't care about him when he saw this, just don't choke.

She also took a meat bun, took a bite, and felt that the taste was not bad, and the people at this time were real, the bun was quite big, and she was afraid that she was full after eating a bun.

"Aren't you hungry?" Li Qingling nibbled on half of the bun, and saw that Liu Zhimo hadn't eaten yet, "Hurry up and eat, we have to buy other things!" ”

Liu Zhimo glanced at her, a little hesitant in his heart, but seeing that she ate so deliciously, he finally took the bun and ate it.

It was a new experience, he had never been like this before, and it felt pretty good now.

Li Qingling watched while eating, but after watching it for a long time, he didn't find a way to make money, even if he set up a stall, he had to ask for capital!

At this time, she saw a cloth village with sharp eyes, so she asked Liu Zhimo and Li Qingfeng to wait for her outside, and she went in to take a look.

There were a lot of people in the store, and she looked up, and her eyes lit up when she saw the veil hanging in the store.

She wanted to ask how much it was, but after looking around, she saw that there was a person busy in the store, it was estimated that it was the owner of the store, and she couldn't, so she could only stand aside and wait, and then she stepped forward when everyone else had paid the bill.

"Shopkeeper, do you accept this kind of network here?" She gestured to the hanging string.

In fact, as soon as Li Qingling walked into the store, Du Siniang saw it, but she was busy, and she saw that she only looked around, so she didn't speak.

But I didn't expect that this little girl would be so patient and wait for her to greet the other guests before politely asking her.

This patience gave her a good impression of Li Qingling.

"Collect, like this style is simple, one penny, this style is complicated, three pennies one." Du Siniang pointed out different connections to Li Qingling, so that she had a number in her heart.

Li Qingling nodded, remembering that the Zhao family knew how to embroider purses, and asked Du Siniang if he would accept the purse, and Du Siniang also said that he would accept it, one simple two pennies, and one exquisite four pennies.

After listening to Du Shi Niang's words, she thought about it, and still felt that it was better to make a loop, and the embroidery purse would be tiring to the Zhao family for a long time.

"Shopkeeper, how much does a bundle of colored threads cost?"

"A bundle of six cents."

Li Qingling immediately spent 18 yuan to buy three bundles of colored threads, she will tie Chinese knots, there are no Chinese knots for sale here, and when the time comes, I will play them out and show the shopkeeper how much the price is? If the price is high, she will teach Zhao to fight.

"Sister, what did you buy?" Li Qingfeng saw Li Qingling come out and asked curiously.

Li Qingling stretched out his hand to lead him, "I bought some colored threads and asked my mother to exchange them for money." After that, he looked at Liu Zhimo again, "Brother Zhimo, how to go to the rice shop?" "It's been so long, it's time to buy something and go back.

Liu Zhimo said come with me, and silently walked to the front to lead the way.

After walking for half an hour, when she arrived at a rice shop, Li Qingling asked the price, and bought ten catties of polished rice, twenty catties of brown rice, three catties of rapeseed oil, one catty of soy sauce, and one catty of salt, which cost a total of 455 Wen.

"Here, it's yours." Li Qingling handed five catties of polished rice and ten catties of brown rice to Liu Zhimo, and Liu Zhimo looked at her fixedly, without stretching out his hand or making a sound.

She simply put it in his back basket and said very unshyly, "Just remember to be nice to me in the future." "She remembers all the kindness he has for her family.

Liu Zhimo pursed his lips and nodded heavily, he would be good to her for the rest of his life.

"Go buy meat and go home." Li Qingling thought of the pork that he had not seen for a long time, and felt that his saliva was about to flow out.

"Sister, do you want to buy meat?" Li Qingfeng looked at Li Qingling with wide eyes, and when he saw Li Qingling nodding, he grinned and laughed, he hadn't eaten meat for a long, long time, and finally had meat to eat tonight.

Li Qingling was a little sad when she saw him like this, she must work hard to earn money so that her family can eat meat every day.

"Uncle, how do you sell this meat?" Standing in front of the meat stall, Li Qingling asked.

"Fifteen for fat, ten for thin." The owner of the butcher stall smiled heartily, "The pig slaughtered today is good, look at how fat this fat meat is!" How much does a little girl want? ”

People here like to eat fatty meat, the fatter the better, Li Qingling shuddered, "Uncle, help me cut a pound of fat meat, a pound of lean meat." Seeing the clean bones, "Uncle, give me this bone!" ”

"Okay, I'll give you all these bones, and I'll help me next time!" The owner of the butcher stall happily tied up a few bones, anyway, no one bought these bones, and he had to give them away, "Little girl, a total of twenty-five yuan." ”

Li Qingling counted twenty-five copper plates for him, took the pork, put it in the back basket, and smiled at Liu Zhimo and Li Qingfeng, "Okay, let's go home!" ”
