Chapter 81: Shopping

Although I knew that Lin Xi was teasing her. But after Wang Jibao heard it. I still feel uncomfortable in my heart.

Lin Xi shook his head helplessly. I'm just asking for trouble. So he immediately begged for mercy: "Okay, good. I won't upset you with anything like that again. You're not happy. I'll be even more unhappy."

After speaking, he kissed the top of the prince's hair.

Wait until everyone is ready. Everyone started to descend the mountain.

This time. A few people didn't try again. They were all carried down the hill on their shoulders.

Wait until you get to the foot of the mountain. Chiang led a team of people. Go to the suburbs to make a short break on her dowry Zhuangzi. Wait for Wang Jibao and they will go back to the Hou Mansion together after shopping.

In order not to attract attention. Wang Jibao and Lin Xi led Wang Xu to change into the clothes of the maid and the maid. Only with Liangchen, Jinzhu, scrolls, and a few secret guards. I walked around the stalls at the foot of the mountain.

Today is Buddha Day. A temporary market was formed here.

All kinds of cries are endless. The things sold are even more varied.

Here are people from Yongdu who do small business. There are also farmers who live in nearby villages who come here with their own produce to exchange some money.

In order to prevent several people from being scattered by the crowd. I'm also afraid that some traffickers will beat their ideas.

Wang Jibao and the others didn't squeeze into the crowd. Instead, wander slowly along a few stalls outside.

A few people in Liangchen are even more tightly guarding a few people.

"Little aunt. What is this thing?" Wang Xu picked up a small smooth wooden stick and shook it at a small stall. While asking Wang Jibao.

Wang Jibao looked at Lin Xi. See his noncommittal look. I know that this is also a Lord who knows nothing.

So he pursed his lips and smiled and said, "It's a rolling pin for rolling noodles and dumpling skins."

"The noodles and dumpling wrappers are made from this." Wang Xu is completely like a dirt bun who has never seen the world. Curious about everything.

He'd eaten the noodles. He also ate dumplings. As for what the dumpling wrapper looks like. He hadn't even seen it.

Wang Xibao rubbed Wang Xu's head. He proposed, "Then do you want to buy one and go back?" Let's give it a try."

Poor child. I really haven't seen the world before.

"Yes. We'll eat noodles when we go back today. And dumplings." After Wang Xu heard it. Nodded excitedly.

"Then you can pay for it yourself." Actually, there is nothing in the Shunhou Mansion. Wang Xibao just wants Wang Xu to understand the people's livelihood and experience it for himself.

Wang Xu put down the rolling pin in his hand. Stand up. Bring your head close to Wang Jibao's arms. Whispered, "That. How to buy."

Wang Jibao in order not to affect people's business. took Wang Xu and Lin Xi to the side.

"Let's get out of the way. Don't interfere with people's business. You take a good look at how other people buy things. Isn't it going to be?" Wang Jibao finished speaking. Reaching out and gesturing to the stall selling rolling pins they had just stood. An aunt who came to buy something.

"Oooh." Wang Xu watched the aunt's every move with wide eyes. I'm afraid of missing a link.

"Young man. This basket costs a few pennies a piece." The aunt was holding a finely woven basket in her hand. As he spoke, he was still carefully examining.

"Auntie. You see how delicately this basket is weaved. My dad made it up. To know. In our village, my father is the most powerful. It only costs ten cents for one." The young man who sells things sees that there is business coming to the door. Immediately introduced very enthusiastically.

"Ten pennies. It's also a little too expensive. I didn't go out with that much money. You can't sell it to me, boy." The aunt asked tentatively.

"Auntie. This one is really cheap already. If only it were cheaper. I won't make any money. You want to. I climbed the mountains from the village. Walked so many ways. I just came here. You have mercy on us. Give me some money." The guy who sells things is quite sympathetic.

"Young man. I'll give you nine dollars to buy this." The aunt who bought things still slashed the price with the mentality of spending less is a penny.

The young man who sold something hesitated for a moment. Still readily agreed: "Okay. Aunt. Nine texts are nine texts. If you use it well. Wait for the market or come here. I'll just introduce a few more people to buy my stuff."

The aunt who bought the things smiled and said, "Okay, good. I'm going to use it well. In the future, I will definitely bring a few more people to buy things from you." After speaking. So he counted out nine copper plates from his purse and handed them to the young man who sold them.

Then he left happily with his basket on his shoulder.

"Little aunt. Is that copper plate worth more than silver? Otherwise, how could they spend so much more money on a copper plate?"

Wang Xu never cares about money. His moon silver used to be held by the Zhao family. When I usually go to college. There will be some loose silver in the purse. But almost never used. Copper plate or something. It's been kept by his grandmother. It is usually used to reward people. Therefore. This guy really doesn't have much idea about money.

Wang Jibao had no choice but to popularize the currency unit of Dayong for Wang Xu again.

"A tael of silver can be exchanged for ten pieces of silver. One penny of silver can be exchanged for ten copper plates. That's ten cents. Other words. A tael of silver. You can exchange it for a hundred copper plates."

"Then how many copper plates can I exchange this piece of silver for?" Wang Xu held it in his hand. It was the smallest piece of silver in his purse.

Wang Jibao took a look. About three taels of silver. So he replied; "About 300 copper plates."

"That's so many. I could buy a lot of baskets."

In modern times, I have heard of Qingdao prawns as a unit of measurement. Get. Got here. There was a basket as a yard measure.

"Then you're going to use this to buy a basket." Wang Jibao asked playfully.

"I don't want that basket. I just want to buy a rolling pin."

"Then you want to buy it now. It's better to look at a few more people before buying."

"I've learned. Let's buy it." Wang Xu said proudly with his small chest. Still blinking a pair of eyes staring at Wang Jibao. A look of asking for praise.

Wang Jibao smiled. Touched Wang Xu's head. It was decided to let this little guy go and touch the nails.

So he said, "Then you can go buy it first."

"Good. Little aunt, little brother-in-law. You're waiting for me here."

Lin Xi ignored it. Wang Jibao nodded. "Go ahead."

Wang Xu excitedly walked to the stall again. Picked up the rolling pin he had just seen and asked in a loud voice, "Young man. How much is this?"

Lad. After Wang Jibao heard it. The corners of his mouth twitched.

This guy. I heard the aunt just call the vendor a young man. I learned to go.

The young man selling things looked like the youngest of the few children who had just stood here. I wasn't angry to hear him call himself that.

Don't look at the clothes of these children who are wearing maids and maids. But. Obviously, the big guys standing behind them are real maids and little maids. Don't you see that those adults are very respectful to these children? Especially the little girl who looks like a little fairy.

The lad thought of this. Subconsciously looked up at Wang Jibao.

Wang Jibao stretched out her hand. Compare one by one. He said with his mouth, "One tael of silver."

The young man's eyes were wide open. I thought I didn't see it clearly. But Wang Jibao repeated again: "One tael of silver."

The lad nodded. He lowered his head and looked at Wang Xu and said, "This brother. A tael of silver."

"One or two. A tael of silver can buy a lot of baskets." Wang Xu muttered.

"But this isn't a basket. If you're going to buy baskets. I can sell it to you for nine pennies."

"No. I'm going to roll out the pin." Wang Xu is still a very persistent person.

Say good to buy a rolling pin. How can I buy a basket to go back? He still has noodles and dumplings at night.

"Then you pay me a tael of silver. You can take the rolling pin away." The young man said very enthusiastically.

Wang Xu hesitated, took out the smallest piece of silver from his purse and was about to hand it over. But it suddenly occurred to me that the aunt had cut the price of a penny just now.

So he plucked up the courage and asked, "That. Can you sell it to me cheaper?"

"So how much do you want to pay for it?" The young man raised his head and looked at Wang Jibao. Seeing that she didn't say anything. He asked as he wished.

Wang Xu hesitated for a long time. Decided to be on the same standard as the aunt in front. So he replied, "Can I pay you one less copper plate?"

After Wang Xibao listened. The corners of his mouth twitched.

Boy. It took a long time. Just talk about a penny.

Lin Xi turned his head to the side. It's like never knowing this person.

The young man saw Wang Jibao nodding. So he readily agreed: "That's good. I'll sell it to you for ninety-nine dollars."

Wang Xu was very happy when he heard it. So he stretched out his hand and handed him the smallest piece of silver.

After the lad saw it. Didn't reach for it. Some are embarrassed: "This. I don't have that much money to get you."

"Yes. Why don't you just find me for two or two dollars? How can you find it without money?" Wang Xu asked suspiciously. There's a big sense that you don't think I'm a kid and lie to me.

"This brother. For you. A few taels of silver don't count as money. But for ordinary people like us. Two taels of silver can be enough for the family to eat for a year."

"What. One year." Wang Xu was very surprised when he heard it. That's all for a few bucks. I'm afraid even the maids and servants in the house don't take it seriously. It's enough for the whole family to eat for a year.

"Yes. I kid you not." The lad told the truth.

"That. So what to do?" Wang Xu had no idea for a while. Look up at the young man selling goods.

"You can borrow a tael or two. When the time comes. I'm looking for you for an article." The lad proposed.

Wang Xu slapped his head. That's right. I can borrow it from my aunt."

Anyway. Ran to Wang Jibao in a hurry.
