The little brother looked at the white porcelain jar that Zhang Xiaoxue was holding in his arms, and thought that the honey should be good, and it was actually contained in such a delicate jar. "We collect honey in our store, but I can't be the master, so I have to let the shopkeeper take a look. Wait a minute, I'll go to the back and call the treasurer. ”

After a while, a man in his thirties came out of the room, with two beards and a shrewd face. "Are you going to sell honey? Take it out and let me see how the quality of the honey is, the price of new honey is different from that of old honey. 1 pound of new honey is one tael of silver, and 1 pound of old honey is 8 pieces of silver

Zhang Xiaoxue stepped forward with the honey and put it on the counter, "Hello uncle, don't worry about our honey, this is the new honey from the beehive that my father got back from the mountains yesterday." We deliberately use porcelain bottles from our home collection. The honey here is exactly two catties, this porcelain bottle, if the shopkeeper likes it, we can sell it to you for two taels of silver. This is really good porcelain, there is no flaw at all, I don't know I thought it was a jade bottle, and I used this bottle to hold things for gifts. ”

Mother Zhang heard that Zhang Xiaoxue's price for a bottle was so high, and she couldn't help but be very uneasy, for fear that the shopkeeper would dislike her lion and open her mouth.

The shopkeeper's eyes narrowed slightly, in fact, as soon as he came out of it, he saw the porcelain vase that Zhang Xiaoxue was holding in his arms. The porcelain is delicate and crystal clear, and it is a fine porcelain at a glance. Seeing that the mother and daughter are dressed very poorly, they look honest. Originally, I was going to be able to pick up a bargain, but I didn't expect this little girl to be very smart and sharp, and she was generous and not scared at all. It seems that the adult next to him is very honest.

The shopkeeper opened the porcelain bottle, and a sweet smell wafted in the air. The quality of the honey is indeed very good. At this time, he set his eyes on the porcelain vase, and nodded involuntarily while looking at it. "Okay, we have the honey and the bottle in the store, just at the price that the little girl just said. ”

Zhang's mother, who was nervous on the side, was relieved. 2 catties of honey is two taels of silver, plus two taels of bottles, a total of four taels of silver. The mother and daughter came out of the store, and after walking a long way, Zhang's mother came back to her senses.

"Xue'er, we've made four taels of silver, why do I feel so unreal, like a dream. ”

"Mother, don't worry, this is nothing, our days will get better and better in the future, and we will have meat to eat. Zhang Xiaoxue said with a smile. "Mother, I need a special pot to make a food, let's go to the blacksmith to make one. The money in her hand is all earned by the child, and the money is spent on the right path, so Zhang's mother naturally agreed.

The blacksmith shop is not far away, and the sound of tinkling irons can be heard in the distance. A large, shirtless man was wielding a hammer and striking a piece of iron. Dahan noticed the mother and daughter approaching, and stopped what he was doing when he knew that he was going to hit something. "Sister-in-law, what are you going to hit?" said the big man as he walked to the side and took a cloth towel to wipe the sweat from his face.

"We're going to make a pot, and my daughter will tell you what it looks like. Zhang's mother replied. "Hello uncle, I want a pot like this. The surface is flat, not too thick, and there are four calves on the outer edge of the lower edge, so it doesn't need to be too high, about an inch," Zhang Xiaoxue said as she gestured with her hand. "How long does it take to hit this pot?"

"Oh, the pot you're talking about is very simple, and it will be ready in an hour. I won't charge you more, just 500 yuan. What do you think? If it's okay, I'll do it for you right away. ”

Zhang Xiaoxue didn't expect a pot to be so expensive. It seems that the price of iron here is very expensive. I wanted to talk about the price for a while, but I didn't want Mother Zhang to nod her head. So Zhang Xiaoxue didn't say anything. The big man who struck iron turned around and began to work.

Taking advantage of this time, the mother and daughter went to the grain and oil store next to them to buy a jar of soy sauce for 30 yuan. With money in hand, there is still food at home, and Zhang Mu's flowers are not too distressed. I cut 1 pound of pork belly and prepared to go home to make steamed buns to improve my life. Of course, it was Zhang Xiaoxue's proposal. There is not much oil at home, and I want 1 pound of fat again, ready to go home to refine oil.

Zhang Xiaoxue, the big bone next to her, spent another two pennies to ask for it, the bones were scraped very cleanly, there was no meat at all, Zhang's mother actually didn't want it, but she couldn't bear Zhang Xiaoxue's desire. For Zhang's mother, who spoils her children, she must have compromised in the end. Zhang Xiaoxue originally wanted to buy pig intestines, but when she asked, the price was not much cheaper than meat, and it was not at all the same price as in other traversal texts, so she had to give up in the end. I can only think about the dishes made by several pig intestines that floated through my mind just now. I'll buy it later when I have more money. These cost another 32 cents.

Zhang Xiaoxue and Zhang's mother came to the shop selling cloth again, and pulled a body of fabric for Zhang Xiaoxue and Bin'er. This time, the cloth for Zhang Xiaoxue was cotton, and 15 wen a foot was pulled for Bin'er, and it was a blue linen cloth for eight cents a foot. Originally, Zhang Xiaoxue also wanted to pull the cotton cloth for Bin'er, but Zhang's mother said that the children were more naughty, and the cotton clothes were too unbearable and easy to wear out, so she still pulled the linen cloth for Bin'er. And said that if he had new clothes to wear, he would be very happy, and he would not compare with his sister. This time it was Zhang Xiaoxue who compromised, and Zhang Xiaoxue made up her mind in her heart that the next time she came to town, she would definitely pull a piece of fabric for the whole family. Including grandpa and grandma's. Another 145 yuan was spent in the cloth shop, and Zhang Xiaoxue grinded the shop owner and asked for some rag heads. It's also good to pick up a large piece of fabric to make a pair of insoles. After all, it's not too much to be cheap.

I'm almost done, but it's not time yet. An hour here is equivalent to two hours in modern times, and Zhang's mother led Zhang Xiaoxue to the teahouse. I asked for a pot of tea, and took out the corn nest head that I had brought with me to prepare for some dry food. I left before dawn, and I haven't eaten breakfast yet. At this time, Zhang Xiaoxue realized that her stomach was already growling with hunger.

There were a lot of people in the small teahouse, and the ten tables were full of people, and Zhang's mother led Zhang Xiaoxue and an old man to share the table. The old man on the opposite side had a kind face, a beard on his chin, drinking tea and listening to the storyteller in the middle. The mother and daughter nodded as a greeting, and Zhang Xiaoxue's eyes couldn't help but look at the storyteller.

This storyteller is quite down-to-earth, and instead of holding a folding fan in his hand, he is holding a large tea jar. I had to take a sip of tea when I said the last paragraph, and I had questions and answers with the listeners next to me, which was quite a little interactive.

After listening carefully, he seemed to be talking about the deeds of King Yan of our fiefdom, and the young man was also heroic, and he could kill a tiger when he was 12 years old. Zhang Xiaoxue couldn't help but express his doubts when she heard this, and looked at her thin arms and legs, when she was about the same age as the original owner, did she have so much strength? Could it be that he would be able to achieve the legendary martial arts. Think about Wu Song fighting the tiger in the Water Margin, he is an adult strong man.
