Chapter 32 The daughter-in-law likes it
In the end, the two of them filled in the specific details of the delivery and settlement of the money, and determined the breach of contract, which can be regarded as the conclusion of the sale. 【Latest chapter reading. And the dozen catties of fern root powder that Lin Baozhu brought this time were naturally left behind, and even made a deal for the first time, and the shopkeeper Qin also made up a whole for her and gave her one hundred and fifty yuan.
After getting the money, Lin Baozhu was so happy that he even walked much briskerly. This is her first pot of gold, and at least it's a good start. Thinking that her life is comfortable now, and now that she has a way to make money, she is a lot less confused about the future.
Zhang Manchu, who was following her, looked at his daughter-in-law's happy appearance, and couldn't help but be happy in his heart. In fact, he didn't have any opinion on his daughter-in-law's money, and he didn't think about how his daughter-in-law's money should be distributed.
Thinking of the daughter-in-law's small appearance when she counted and hid money before, as well as the delicate appearance of raising her eyebrows at herself when she was discussing business with the shopkeeper Qin just now, Zhang Manchu, a man who was used to having a black face and a cold face, couldn't help but soften his eyebrows.
Because he had taken a leave of absence from the owner, Zhang Manchu was not in a hurry to return to the dart game at this time. And Lin Baozhu is the first time to visit the town, and naturally she doesn't want to be alone, and she doesn't want to leave until she hears her grandfather say that she will send her away, how can she not be happy?
After all, they have been together for some time, and neither of them is hypocritical, so naturally there is no shyness or embarrassment.
There is still a lot of rice and noodles at home, but there is not much meat and oil. Thinking about how he could live next to each other every day, Lin Baozhu simply dragged Zhang Manchu to the butcher shop in Dongshi. Of course, she didn't have much interest in those fatty meats, so she asked for some to consume lard, and the rest was naturally picking ribs and meat bones.
"Boss, what's the price of this bone?"
When the butcher shop owner saw someone coming, he hurriedly laughed and shouted a few times. When people asked about the pile of bones that had not yet been sold, they didn't want meat, and I was a little disappointed. But since the person came, he couldn't blow people out with a cold face in order to sell more money, no, he immediately smiled: "That rib is twelve cents a catty, and the big bone is six cents." Don't look at the price that is half the difference, there is still a lot of meat on the ribs, and the cabbage and radish can also have a meaty aroma when you go home to stew and stew the cabbage radish. ”
Lin Baozhu naturally knew that ribs and bones were good objects, but she didn't expect that in this era, these things would be sold cheaply. After all, the fat meat costs 22 yuan a catty, and even the pork belly costs 18 yuan. Of course, the minced meat in the big pot on the side, she didn't ask the price and didn't plan to buy it.
"Daughter-in-law, if you want to eat meat, let's buy some fat or pork belly, there is no need to buy these meatless bones to save money?" Seeing that Lin Baozhu asked the price and began to pick bones, Zhang Manchu frowned and stepped forward and whispered, "In a few days, I will settle my salary, and I will be able to have more than one or two silver, let's not miss that."
Seeing the sincerity on Zhang Manchu's face, and even looking at the ribs she was holding in her hand and shaking her head a little disapprovingly, Lin Baozhu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. In the eyes of this man, she has become a little pitiful, but she really can't eat such greasy fatty meat, even if she hasn't seen meat for several days, she doesn't have the courage to eat a piece of fat directly, let alone now.
"Buy some fat and go back to consume lard to fry lard shuttles, and the rest of the stew is good." Lin Baozhu was busy picking bones, and returned without raising his head, "Besides, even if we have silver, we have to think about living, and it's not okay to think about eating the muddy food of the mountains and seas every day." I bought so many of them today, and I also thought of going back to give some favors, so that everyone could sell bracken to us at the end of spring. ”
Zhang Manchu saw that his daughter-in-law had a plan in her heart, so she no longer persuaded her, but thought in her heart that she would buy some good nourishment for her daughter-in-law when she went back next time.
The two of them bought the meat and came out, and saw that the sun was about to pass overhead, and a lot of people from the village who came to the market were scattered, so Lin Baozhu thought that he would not delay his work at all, and wait to go to the grocery store to see what he wanted to bring. Then go to a tea shop, and you have to touch the market anyway.
Zhang Manho, who went to the grocery store, was familiar with the way, so he just took it, and saw that his daughter-in-law had purchased a lot of fronts and spoons, and he really felt that marrying a daughter-in-law seemed to be really good, at least it was different from when he was alone before.
In such a blink of an eye, there was not much money left in Lin Baozhu's hand. Thinking that there was a shortage of salt and vinegar at home, he simply gritted his teeth and bought a pound of coarse salt and sauce vinegar, but he went out for more than 20 yuan.
But after all, it's a life, and these expenses are always inevitable, even if you make do with it today, you have to buy it back tomorrow. In addition, neither Lin Baozhu nor Zhang Manchu is a person who instigates money to save money, especially Zhang Manchu always feels that money is not saved, as long as people are capable and willing to endure hardships, how can they not earn it back? What's more, they don't have any other burdens, even if they are better than others, it doesn't matter.
If a man can't even buy the things his daughter-in-law wants to eat, how can he be embarrassed to say that he is a man who stands up to the sky?
On the way to send Lin Baozhu to the entrance of the town, the two of them took them to the largest tea shop in the town, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw that the guy was cleaning the counter, and saw that someone was coming and hurriedly greeted him.
This tea shop is the largest shop in the town, with two large rooms open up, the shop is bright and spacious, and the inside and outside are cleaned clean and tidy, not like other shops. As soon as he stepped into the threshold, he could smell the rich aroma of tea, and Lin Baozhu carefully identified it, although most of them were coarse teas, it was difficult to hide a few good teas. The façade is facing an open counter, and inside the cabinet are many carved jars, presumably for storing tea. There are also counters on the left and right sides, and there are also the most people, although there are also tea barrels, but just by looking at the containers, you can see that the quality of the counter is much worse than that of the front door.
If nothing else, let's just say that the placement and objects in the shop all reveal the heritage and elegant atmosphere of several generations of tea shops.
In fact, just like Lin Baozhu guessed, the best tea leaves on the cabinet were all transported from Yanjing or Nanpi, and they were worth up to a thousand gold. On weekdays, some passing nobles or rich children will carry some emergency purchases, and if ordinary people still go to the counter to ask for coarse tea.
The man saw that the person who came was dressed plainly, although it was a new clothes, but the fabric was only coarse cloth, and his heart should have come to buy coarse tea, give gifts to relatives, or entertain guests at home. Immediately, he shook the handkerchief in his hand with a smile and said, "What do the two guest officers want to buy?" We have coarse tea with bamboo leaves and willow leaves, and there are also a lot of good old teas, what do you think you need? ”
There happened to be a guy on the side who was helping people make tea, looking at the green tea that seemed to be picked in summer and autumn, just looking at the curly tea leaves and the fat was very large, I knew that this was a coarse tea that had grown along the summer day. Speaking of which, this kind of tea is not bad, but compared to the fine tea washing, this kind of long-grown coarse tea tastes bitter and old tea, and even tastes a little suffocating. If you are not used to drinking it, I am afraid that you will think that this old tea is similar to traditional Chinese medicine.
Listen to the guy introduce the coarse tea stored on the counter on the other side, in fact, it is to collect all kinds of non-toxic leaves, such as bamboo leaves, willow leaves, locust leaves and other leaves, after the tea shop will be made into tea according to the production method of coarse tea, so that people can brew it as tea and drink. Although this kind of tea can't drink the aroma of tea, it still has some taste compared to boiled water. In the past, when the outside storytellers or the farmers were working in the fields, it was good to buy a little and drink slowly, saying that it was to relieve the heat. In fact, to put it bluntly, it's just a psychological comfort.
"Our tea is all from Yanjing and the county, and we are the only one in Anping Town, whether you want to string relatives or do your own happy events for guests, you can do it." As he spoke, the young man also led people to see the better coarse tea sold in the store.
It's not that he looks down on people or is unwilling to take the two of them to see good tea, but that farmers rarely buy good tea for their own drinks or for hospitality. First, there are few people in the village who understand tea, and secondly, the price is also there, and those good tea leaves are worth a few months of food money in the village.
Seeing Lin Baozhu's hesitation, the guy thought to himself that he was reluctant to spend money. However, he was not dissatisfied with this hesitation, speaking of which he is also a member of the Zhuang family, if it weren't for the sensitive taste of the owner to be met by the owner to learn tea, I am afraid that he is still eating in the mud. Sensei said that he was a farmer, that is, it was not easy for him to make money now, when was it not a copper plate that he wanted to break into two halves, if it was not necessary to buy it, he was reluctant to buy some tea himself.
In fact, Lin Baozhu was indeed hesitant at this time, there was not much copper plate in his hand, and it was impossible to buy good tea. But if she buys coarse tea such as willow leaves, it is a bit wasteful, and she can pick some leaves to make tea by herself. After thinking about it, he simply gritted his teeth and followed the guy in the store to the old tea counter to the east.
At least, the coarse tea made from these old teas is still a tea leaf, and although it is bitter, the high proportion of tea polyphenols and tea tannins contained in it is still good for the body. At the very least, it can also be anti-aging. In the past, she would never have imagined that a national treasure-level handmade tea master would one day be stretched thin in order to buy coarse tea.
Zhang Manchu saw his daughter-in-law's expression, and remembered that when he was at home, his daughter-in-law tasted the tea given by the Qin shopkeeper of Xinglong Tavern like a baby. Although he can't get used to drinking the bitter soup, it is rare for his daughter-in-law to like it. I silently wrote down this in my heart, and only waited for a few days to buy some good ones for my daughter-in-law when I had enough money.
As for whether a farmer's daughter-in-law is a luxury to drink good tea, he has never considered it. The daughter-in-law likes it, so he just works hard and buys it for his daughter-in-law.
