Qiu Bai saw that the man didn't speak, so he silently put down the dagger, "Then I'll take a look." After saying that, he walked out of the blacksmith shop.

Later, I saw a blacksmith shop at the end of the street, walked in and picked up two daggers of the same size as just now, and asked the price, almost not scared to death.

A stalk costs three taels of silver!

She put down the dagger and came out, stood on the side of the road and thought for a long time, then returned to the previous ironsmith shop, and endured the pain and took out four copper coins from the bag on her waist.

"Uncle, count them." Qiu Bai pushed the copper coin on the counter inward.

The man still didn't raise his head, and pounded the iron intently, "Don't count, you just put it down." ”

Qiubai let out an "oh", picked up the dagger and put it in his bag.

After leaving the ironware shop, she entered a vegetable and fruit shop, the owner of which was a middle-aged woman, with a thick layer of powder on her round face and scarlet lips.

Qiubai first picked two cabbages, then picked and picked some potatoes, and took two lettuce, the lettuce is very fresh, and the young leaves on it can also fry the green vegetables.

After that, she took two cucumbers, two lotus roots and some sharp peppers, she originally wanted to buy green peppers, but unfortunately there were not, and the types of dishes here were also very few, so she picked them for a long time.

Rice and flour are available, so you don't need to buy them.

She first asked the price of the vegetables before saying that she was not less pitted by vegetable sellers in her previous life, either she didn't ask the price when she bought vegetables, and was indiscriminately priced, or she didn't look at the vegetables after buying, and when she got home and opened the bag, she saw that it was either old or rotten.

"Cabbage is five cents, potatoes are seven cents, lettuce is eight cents, cucumbers are seven cents, lotus root is ten cents, spicy seeds are one cent, and together it is thirty-eight cents." After the middle-aged woman quickly calculated the accounts, she took a yellow-skinned pear from the basket on the side and threw it in, "Add another pear to count you for forty yuan." ”

Qiubai's eyes were sharp, and he immediately took out the pear, "Auntie, this pear seems to be rotten, let's change it, I'll pick it myself." After saying that, he put the pear back, and then chose a very large pear in the basket and put it on the table, "That's it." ”

The middle-aged woman looked at the corner of the pear's mouth and moved, with a reluctant expression, but in the end she didn't speak.

Qiu Bai took out forty-five yuan from the bag on his chest and handed it to the middle-aged woman, "Give you five more yuan, you can sell me that bamboo basket, it's all old anyway." ”

"That's not going to work! I bought this basket for ten cents! The middle-aged woman immediately screamed when she heard this.

"Auntie, I can't take too many things, you see, that basket is rotten, you can still use the money to buy a new one if you sell it cheaply."

"It's just that the rat gnawed a small hole, and it's not that it can't be used, but if it doesn't work, I'll just make up for it."

"Sew and mend and sew and mend, then always use the old one, why not sell me and buy a new one, so that you only need to spend five cents to buy a new one, you say, isn't it a good deal."

The middle-aged woman was overwhelmed by Qiubai's words, and she really couldn't grind her, and finally waved her hand impatiently, "Oh, okay, okay, I'll give it to you." ”

Qiu Bai smiled and took the basket that had just been vacated, filled it with all the dishes, and then asked casually, "Auntie, do you know about the bandits in Qingshui Village?"

The middle-aged woman rubbed her nose when she heard this, and a piece of fat powder fell, "I don't know about Qingshui Village, but this morning, the county lord sent many officers and soldiers out of the city, and they passed through my door, and it is said that they are bandits, so they should go to that Qingshui Village." ”

"Oh." Qiu Bai nodded understandingly, "Auntie, next time I come to you to buy vegetables, you have to give me a cheaper." ”

"Okay, okay." The middle-aged woman grinned and waved her hand at Qiu Bai.

After leaving the vegetable and fruit shop, she went to the pork shop again, and bought three pork ribs and two catties of pork belly in pain, spending forty-eight yuan.

After that, I went to the dried fruit shop and bought some jelly beans and spent two cents.

After buying all the things, she went back to the house with the vegetable basket.

While walking, I sighed, this county can't come! It cost so much money when I came, and it was better in the village, there were vegetables in the field, and there was meat in the mountain.

After returning to the house, she first went to the courtyard where she lived temporarily, gave the dagger to Qiu Ling, and then divided the jelly beans into two parts, and put them on the bedside of Qiu Doudou and Qiu Xiaobao respectively, and then put the pear in Qiu Ling's hand, "This pear is so sweet." ”

Qiu Ling took the pear and sniffed it, and said with a smile: "I like to eat yellow-skinned pears, let's have half of us, my mother used to exchange eggs for ......."

Qiubai patted her head, "What one person and half, divide the pears and separate!" It's unlucky, wait until you can't finish eating and then give it to me, we don't divide, by the way, we'll go back this time and raise some chickens, by the way, I want to make dumplings and you go with me. ”

Qiu Ling touched the pain of being patted, said "oh", and followed Qiu Bai's ass out of the yard.

When I went out of the yard again, I saw Li Zhi sweeping the yard, and Qiu Bai walked over with a vegetable basket, "Uncle, sweep the floor, then I'll make dumplings." ”

Qiu Ling also greeted very politely, "Good morning, uncle!" ”

Li Zhi said with a smile when he heard this: "Okay, okay, I still think about the dumplings last time today."

Qiu Bai smiled, "I'll pack more today, you can eat it open." ”

"Wow, what a lot of spices, what is this, it's so fragrant." Qiu Ling picked up the can of seasoning and sniffed it closely.

Qiubai took out the cabbage from the basket and asked, "Do you knead the dough or the filling?"

Qiu Ling put down the jar and said, "I'll knead the dough, where is the flour?"

"In the barrel at the base of the wall, you should scoop two bowls enough."

Chop the cabbage and pork belly and stir it, adding two spoonfuls of pea paste and a spoonful of the unknown seasoning in addition to salt, and then taking an egg from the bottom of the cabinet and beating it.

When the stuffing was reconciled, the room was already ringing, and the fragrance made her saliva flow.

At this time, Qiuling's dough had woken up.

"It smells so good." Qiu Ling swallowed while kneading the dough.

"Don't talk, don't drip saliva in your face." Qiu Bai teased Qiu Ling.

After kneading half a cup of tea, Qiu Ling began to roll out the dumpling skin, while Qiu Bai took chopsticks and wrapped them aside.

It took almost two grams to wrap all the dumplings.

Qiu Ling had already boiled a pot of water, and the white dumplings were put into the pot, and they soon floated up.

At this time, Li Zhi walked in from outside the door.

"It's just a good time for you to come, I've just done it." Qiu Bai said with a grin.

Li Zhi sniffed and praised it sincerely: "It's so fragrant, Childe finally doesn't have to eat what I made." As he spoke, he picked up the tray in the cupboard, put the dumplings inside, and then took a small bowl and poured some vinegar.

"Childe eats at the pavilion, I'll bring it over."

Qiubai is a good boy who respects the old and loves the young, and when he saw this, he hurriedly took the tray, "Uncle, you can eat dumplings while they are hot, and I will serve them the same." Without waiting for Li Zhi to speak, he went to the gazebo with the tray.
