The shopkeeper bent down and picked up the pieces of paper on the ground and opened them to see that there were some names and characteristics of tea written on them in Juanxiu's handwriting, some small characters were written next to some words, and some strange symbols were drawn next to some words.

He glanced up slightly at Jiang Han, who was looking at him embarrassedly, and said, "You wrote this?" ”

"No, I'll ask someone to write it for me." Jiang Han scratched his head and smiled.

"......" The shopkeeper looked at her thoughtfully, and when he saw that she reached out and asked for a few pieces of paper, he handed it to her and said, "If you have anything else you want to know, just ask me directly, whether it's tea or anything in the store." ”

Seeing that Jiang Han seemed to be about to speak now, he raised his hand to interrupt and said casually: "It's good that you have ideas, but you can't do nonsense." Then he raised his chin and gestured to her hand, "The rules of the store, if you don't know it, it doesn't mean that there is no one, and your reward money should be handed over according to the rules." ”

The flowers bloom in two, one on each branch.

Just now, the two sons chased the guests out of the private room on the second floor out of the teahouse and went to the south of Luoxia West Town. The black-faced boy chased all the way to the tile market in West Town.

At this time, the morning market has long been dispersed, and the evening market has not yet started, and the pedestrians on the road are not crowded. Unhurried, he fell behind the two men. When passing through an alleyway, a dilapidated carriage suddenly appeared on the right, blocking his way, and when the carriage drove away, the two men could no longer be found.

And the ragged boy was wandering around the road for a long time before he saw the black-faced boy who was coming out of a certain alley and planning to enter another alley in the tile market.

"Shen Guangde, what are you chasing? In the blink of an eye, the figure disappeared, and I was so anxious to look for it. The ragged boy complained angrily.

"Two people, one with uncomfortable clothes, the other with familiar faces."

"Just for this, you chased a few streets, is your inspection department really so idle? Didn't your self-righteous Chen Zhixian give you full authority to catch the bandits? Why don't you see what you're doing? Even the guys from the Inspection Department don't see you in charge. ”

It turned out that this black-faced boy was the new inspection of the inspection department surnamed Shen Mingshen and the word Guangde.

"In the past two years, the bandits have become more and more troublesome, and my father asked you to come to Luoxia Town, in fact, it also means that you will come to investigate the specific situation. If he can use the power of the county government to clean it up, then he doesn't need to specially transfer troops to suppress the bandits, Shao Zhouwei's troops have always been insufficient, and he has to guard against the Miao chaos in the south. ”

This shirt boy is Lu Tong, the son of Lord Lu Zhi, the commander of Shao Zhouwei. He and this Shen Gongzi had once practiced martial arts together. This Shen Gongzi is the youngest apprentice of his maternal ancestor, and the eldest apprentice of his maternal ancestor is his father Lord Lu.

"When I came, my brother said it."

"So what are you going to do with it? You can't even control the archers of the Inspection Division now. ”

“…… It's almost there. Shen Gongzi pursed his lips tightly and said quietly.

At this time, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy ran in the distance, and when he saw the two of them from afar, he cried and shouted: "Childe, childe, I have found you!" Oh no, no! Go back and see, they're fighting. ”

"On the fifth day of junior high school, what do you look like?" Lu Tong frowned and glanced at the little guy who ran up panting, turned his head to Shen Weiyong and said, "I really don't understand you, why do you still keep him by your side!" It's a little thing to start, it's useless, and it's still the person your grandmother put next to you. ”

When the little guy called the fifth junior high school heard this, he immediately fell silent and didn't dare to breathe, and forced his face to turn red.

"What?" Shen Gongzi didn't explain, and asked directly to his pitiful-looking little guy.

"Yes, it was Ma Huaide's subordinate Ma Jinbao who fought with that Huang Guangfu."

"Why?"

"Yes, for the docks. Ma Jinbao said that Huang Guangfu deliberately found fault and had to re-inspect the ships they had already released, and Huang Guangfu said that Ma Jinbao and the others accepted large bribes to deliberately release the ships carrying smuggled goods. ”

"Oh, let's go back and have a look!" Shen Gongzi didn't say anything, but this Lu Gongzi's eyes lit up, and he didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, pulled Shen Gongzi's sleeve, and urged the little girl to rush to the inspection department on the fifth day of the first month.

In other words, Jiang Han was very reluctant and handed over the few copper coins in his hand to the shopkeeper Wang.

Then she suggested that the shopkeeper Wang label the tea leaves in the warehouse and the tea leaves temporarily stored in small pots in the tea room so that they could be easily identified and taken. The shopkeeper nodded in agreement, and praised her for being thoughtful, but stipulated that if she had a problem, she had to go to him every morning to ask him for advice.

I don't know if it's because of the trouble at noon, the business of the entire afternoon teahouse is very light, and the shopkeeper Wang is in a bad mood, so he closes in advance.

Although the reward money earned today was forcibly handed over and almost expelled, he beat Song Douyan and secretly left eight cents, plus he went home so early, on the whole, Jiang Han's mood was still very good.

She hummed a song and entered the door happily, and saw Yun Niang who heard the sound and walked out of the kitchen, and said happily: "I'll cook today, you go and embroider your flowers." I delayed your painting last night, and today's handkerchief shouldn't have been embroidered, right? ”

Yun Niang looked at her and didn't speak, and shook her head with a worried face.

Seeing her react like this, Jiang Han thought that she didn't finish the plan and felt uncomfortable, so he comforted: "It's okay, embroider slowly, let's focus on quality over quantity." ”

"What's going to eat tonight? I'm here to show you my true craft! ”

As she spoke, she walked into the kitchen and lifted the lid of the pot, only to see only a few sweet potatoes steaming in the pot. She frowned, and went to look at the rice bowl again, and in the one-foot-wide and narrow rice bowl, there was only less than a knuckle-deep rice left.

"There aren't many coarse noodles left, I didn't think about it so much the morning before yesterday, I used up more than half of it, and I made steamed buns yesterday morning...... "Yun Niang said ashamedly.

This afternoon, Aunt Liu came to look for her, and she took out her embroidered handkerchief to show Aunt Liu. The aunt said that this kind of quality can be sold for five cents, but it has to deduct the money for the needlework and fabrics given in the embroidery shop, so that she can only earn three cents for a handkerchief. Originally, she still thought that Sanwen would be Sanwen, this was the first money she earned.

Later, she thought that when she was cooking at noon, there was not much rice in the rice bowl, so she asked Aunt Liu about the price of grain.

The aunt said that now in the grain shop, the old rice is 5 wen a liter, the brown rice is 8 wen a liter, the polished rice is 12 wen a liter, the miscellaneous noodles cost 10 wen a catty, the coarse noodles cost 12 wen a catty, the white noodles cost 15 wen a catty, the fine noodles cost 20 wen a catty, and the cheapest miscellaneous grains cost 4 wen a catty.

She thought that she had eaten dry rice for the past two days, and the three of them had eaten one and a half liters in two days. No wonder at noon today, Daddy Jiang looked at her several times, and finally seemed to be a little unsure of how to speak, only saying that he liked to drink porridge and didn't need to prepare dry rice for him every day.

When the two sisters and brothers first came to the Jiang family's courtyard, every day was slightly thick porridge with small flour cakes or sweet potatoes, and most of the dishes were pickles, and occasionally there were some strange meat and vegetables. At that time, she was sad that she had no appetite and no time to think about it. Later, Aunt Liu came to help cook the same way, and she wondered why she didn't cook dry rice, it was easy to get hungry after eating such a meal.

It's really ashamed to think about it now, she used to be really a big lady who didn't know the cost of firewood, rice, oil and salt.

At this moment, Jiang Han looked at the rice bowl in the kitchen, and then at the sweet potatoes in the pot, pursed his lips and said nothing, the joy of the moment he just came back was gone.

Seeing her like this, Yun Niang thought that it was her ignorance that had exacerbated the difficulties of the Jiang family, so she hurriedly smiled and expressed her determination: "Sister, I will work hard to embroider the veil and earn nine yuan a day, let's eat Chen rice for the time being, and nine yuan can buy one and a half liters." ”

Jiang Han came back to his senses, and when he saw her smiling face, he felt very uncomfortable.

Although she never mentioned the days at home, she always knew it in her heart, but she didn't expect that it had only been a few days, and the monthly money had not been paid, and the family was about to run out of food. For a while, she couldn't think of any other idea of making money right away. Originally, she thought that she could get her hands on it every day and prepare to use it to improve the family's diet, but now it has become a waste.

She nodded slowly and said, "You're right, then I'll work hard for you for the time being." Then she pretended to smile lightly and said, "Let's drink sweet potato porridge tonight, and the pickles are also very delicious." I spend most of my time sleeping at night, and if I eat too much, I will gain weight! ”
