Chapter Twenty-Six: Can I Grow Still??
Thinking of this, the shopkeeper looked at Bai Zhi's gaze, in addition to doubt, he had a lot of expectations.
Looking at the shopkeeper like this, Bai Zhi smiled calmly and bowed her head: "Shopkeeper, do you think I look like I'm joking?" ”
"The other is please, I can still tell a lie, but this matter, that is to be seen in the hand, I can't lie, this lie is told, when the time comes to do it, it will not be exposed."
After hearing Bai Zhi say this, the shopkeeper looked at her calm appearance and the taste of cooking before, and the doubt in his heart was suddenly gone, and the rest was just excited.
"I really can't be the master of this matter, our master is coming here, and when the time comes, I will tell my master about this."
"Well, then it's troublesome for the shopkeeper." Bai Zhi already knew about this, the shopkeeper couldn't be the master, so after hearing the shopkeeper's words, she was not disappointed, nodded and said, while speaking, she stood up from the stool and took Xia Xueniang's hand and was about to go outside, but was stopped by the shopkeeper.
"Little girl, when the time comes, I'll let someone pick you up, I don't know, where does your family live??"
Childe estimates that this is coming in the past few days, don't be at that time, Childe has arrived, but he can't find anyone from Angelica Bai.
When Bai Zhi heard this, she frowned: "When the time comes, you can come to me in the broken temple in Sanpai Village." Saying that, Bai Zhi paused: "Don't be too public, if you can't find it and need to ask for directions, it's best to look like I owe you money." ”
For the group of strange people of the Bai family, if they knew that they came to her when they saw the shopkeeper, maybe they would have to find them for something, if it looked like she owed money, it would be different, it must be hiding far away, although she will build a house or something in the future, and when she is really rich, she will definitely not be able to hide it, but she can always be quiet for some days, taking advantage of these days, making money quietly is the most important thing.
As soon as the shopkeeper heard that Bai Zhi and they actually lived in a broken temple, he couldn't help but be stunned, and was about to speak, when he heard Bai Zhi continue, he couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, he was now eager to offer this little ancestor, and his attitude was not too good, but he also knew that Bai Zhi must have done this for a reason, so he nodded.
"Don't worry."
As he spoke, the shopkeeper paused: "Your mother and daughter are both women, I'm afraid it's not safe to live in a broken temple, why don't I arrange a place for you to live?" ”
When Bai Zhi heard this, she shook her head: "I don't need the shopkeeper's, where I live, I will earn it myself in the future, and I will get what I want with my own efforts, don't worry, I won't live in the broken temple for too long." ”
"Let's go first."
The shopkeeper couldn't help but be a little stunned when he looked at the back of Bai Zhi leaving, such a little girl, the shock to him today is too much, I'm afraid it won't be in the pool in the future.
"Zhi'er, you, what you just said is true? When did you become so good at cooking? If you don't invest money, how can the boss agree. ”
Coming out of the restaurant, Xia Xueniang took Bai Zhi's hand, her withered yellow face frowned deeply, and she said worriedly, feeling more and more that her daughter seemed to have changed, and Zhi'er didn't dare to say it out loud at home before, but now, she was not shocked by the changes, and she didn't cower at all.
Bai Zhi had already thought of Xia Xueniang's doubts, she didn't deliberately avoid her in doing anything, and found that she was different from before, which was normal, so she had already thought of countermeasures.
"Mother, there are so many things you don't know, now is not the time to speak, let's go back and talk slowly, right?"
When Xia Xueniang saw Bai Zhi say this, she also knew that they were on the street now, and it was indeed not the place to talk, so she nodded and took Bai Zhi to the rice grain store.
Xia Xueniang rarely goes to the town, but many people in the village will have a time when they are not available, although she has never been here, she also knows where to buy.
As soon as the two entered the rice shop, someone greeted them.
"Auntie, what are you going to buy? Do you want rice, millet, or flour? ”
A fifteen or sixteen little brother walked up to the two of them and asked, and he didn't entertain Bai Zhi and Xia Xueniang because they were dressed shabby.
"Ask for rice."
Since I came over, except for a bowl of soup in Shengcai Restaurant two days ago, the rest of the time is rice soup porridge, I can't see a few grains of rice, yesterday's millet porridge is delicious, but what Bai Zhi wants to eat most is fragrant rice, if it can be paired with two meals or something, it is not too good.
Thinking of this, Bai Zhi felt that her saliva was about to flow out.
As he spoke, he walked to the place where Fang Dami, the rice in the rice shop was put outside, and then the price sign was hung on it, because of her cheap father, although she was not very good at writing, but she still knew it.
Good rice is almost ten wen a catty, while broken rice is six wen, good millet is six wen, broken one is only two wen, fine white flour is eight wen, black flour and cornmeal are much cheaper, black flour is two wen, corn flour is four wen.
The silver of this era, she also secretly popularized science, ten cents is consistent, ten is one tael, according to this conversion rate, this rice is really a bit expensive, and most people are afraid that they will not buy good rice and white flour.
Sure enough, such a thought flashed in her mind, and Xia Xueniang on the side grabbed her.
"Zhi'er, let's buy millet."
Rice costs ten cents a catty, it is better to buy two catties of millet, so that you can eat longer, even eating dry rice is much more cost-effective than buying rice.
Although Zhi'er wants to cooperate with the restaurant, but I don't know if the restaurant can cooperate, although there are ten taels in my hand, but now I don't have any income, these ten taels of silver, I don't know how long it can last, Wan must wait a long time for Zhu to come back, then they have to rely on these ten taels of silver to live.
Originally, after hearing Bai Zhi's words, the guy didn't start loading rice, after all, he was just a child, and he must listen to adults when buying rice, besides, rice costs ten yuan, and they are like this now, at most they can buy a catty, it is better to buy some millet, flour or something.
After hearing Xia Xueniang's words at this time, she nodded and prepared to load millet.
"Auntie, how many catties of millet do you want to pack??"
Seeing this, Bai Zhi couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth, her feelings were that she was too young, and she directly ignored her words.
After thinking about it, before Xia Xueniang could speak, Bai Zhi spoke.
"I want ten catties of millet, ten catties of rice, five catties of flour, and five catties of cornmeal."
The guy who was loading millet, after hearing Bai Zhi's words, snorted, he, he heard it wrong, right? ?
"Auntie??"
The young man turned his head and looked at Xia Xueniang suspiciously.
Don't talk about this young man, even Xia Xueniang was taken aback by Bai Zhi's words, how much does it cost to have so many things, and when she heard the young man's voice at this moment, she suddenly came back to her senses.
"Zhi'er, we want ten catties of millet, what do you want so many things for?"
There are so many things, and it looks like one or two taels of silver will go at once, and those ten taels of silver, how long can it take to spend like this?
"Mother, we all have to buy these things sooner or later, and we can't eat millet three times a day, right?? Besides, is it any different to buy it after eating and buying it now? ”
"Mother, if I continue to eat like this, I won't grow any longer."
As she spoke, Bai Zhi pulled Xia Xueniang's sleeve and shook off her coquettishness.
In fact, speaking of this, Bai Zhi's heart is sad, the original owner is already thirteen, that son is only one meter and two years old, thin skin and bones, there is no half or two flesh on his chest, and his face is also sallow, which is clearly caused by malnutrition.
As soon as she thought of this, Bai Zhi's heart was rejected.
Originally, I was thinking about how to save money, but after hearing Bai Zhi say this, I looked at Bai Zhi's body, Bai Zhi's small stature stung her eyes, and the lotus flower was one year older than her Zhi'er, but now she is as tall as an adult.
"Just pretend."
At this time, Xia Xueniang didn't want to save it, it was a big deal for her to eat less, but Zhi'er should make up for it now.
The young man originally thought that Xia Xueniang would object, but he didn't want Bai Zhi to respond so coquettishly.
The buyers of the people have spoken, and he can't say anything more, so he quickly packed the things that Bai Zhi wanted before, and this was just done, and before he could speak, Bai Zhi took out the silver and handed it to the young man.
"Little brother, two taels and two dollars, we still have to go out for a while, can we put things here for you first?"
The little guy couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at the money handed over by Bai Zhi, and calculated the account again, no more than no more, no less, this time the little guy was more and more shocked, this little girl also knows how to calculate? You must know that he worked here, the boss taught him, and he has been learning for a long time, and now he can be regarded as fast in accounting, but he is still not as fast as Bai Zhi.
"Little brother, what's wrong, isn't this money right??"
Bai Zhi looked at the young man's appearance, endured the nausea and spoke, and after speaking, goosebumps rose on his hands.
called Bai Zhi like this, and the young man also came back to his senses and hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, yes." As he spoke, he put the packed grain aside and put it away: "If you want to do something, don't worry, put the things here, and you can get them when the matter is done." ”
After buying food, Bai Zhi dragged Xia Xueniang to the ready-to-wear store, but was stopped by Xia Xueniang.
"Over here, the clothes here are cheap, and the cloth is cheap, and in the blink of an eye, it cost two taels, but you can't spend it like this anymore."
Although Xia Xueniang took care of Bai Zhi's body and bought those things, it was still painful in the end, how long would it take ten taels of silver to go on like this.
Bai Zhi also knew that her mother was worried that the silver would run out, and when people didn't want to do it, she stuffed the money she brought out into her hand.
Feeling the purse in her hand, Xia Xueniang hurriedly returned it to Bai Zhi: "What are you doing for me, you keep it yourself, you earned it yourself." ”
For Bai Zhi's silver, Xia Xueniang didn't have the idea of asking for it from the beginning, but now that Bai Zhi gave it to her, she was a little anxious: "Zhi'er, my mother said this about you, not because she wanted silver, but because she ......"
"Mother, I know."
Before Xia Xueniang's words were finished, she interrupted Bai Zhi.
