"It's so lively in town!" Ziluo said.

"Yes, our Great Qi Dynasty has been established for more than 80 years, and now it is becoming more and more stable, and the current emperor has been in power for more than 20 years, and the government is still quite clear. So everyone's life is also getting better. Zishu listened to Ziluo's words and said.

Ziluo knew that the eldest brother Zishu had gone to the private school in the village to study for two years, but then he dropped out of school and went home when his father was gone, but Zishu never put down his books, and often took books out to read when he had time. Listening to the words of the eldest brother now, it can be seen that the eldest brother is still quite smart, and he can see the connection between the economy and current politics.

From his words, Ziluo knew that this was the Great Qi Dynasty, an overhead dynasty. The dynasty had only recently been established, at the beginning of a prosperous era, and the monarch was still a saint. That's fine, it's better to travel to a peaceful and prosperous era than to a troubled world. A stable society is more conducive to Ziluo's implementation of her plan to get rich.

Ziluo: The place where they are standing now should be a concentration of small traders, there are not many shops here, but there are many small stalls, and there are also many people dressed as farmers like them who are setting up stalls and selling their agricultural products.

At this time, Aunt Chen said, "Your uncle and I are going to sell our eggs and vegetables here, you go buy other things you want first, gather here in about two hours, and then we will go to buy food together." Okay?"

"Okay, let's take Arlo to the doctor first, and then buy some things and come here, then we'll go first. Ziwei said.

"Okay, watch Luha. ”

After separating from Aunt Chen, Ziwei Zishu took Zi Luo to see a doctor, although Zi Luo felt that it was unnecessary, but Zi Wei Zi Shu insisted, they were afraid that the little sister would leave the root of the disease last time. Well, let them see it, so that they can rest assured.

When I arrived at the pharmacy, the doctor helped Ziluo finish her pulse and said: "This child is not seriously ill, but she may have suffered from cold before, so she needs to take care of it, and her body is relatively weak, what is there to eat, try to make up for her." ”

"Then what can the doctor and little sister eat?" Zishu asked.

"There's nothing special to eat, such as giving her more eggs, chicken, pork and other things to nourish her body. There are also some medicinal herbs that can be eaten such as red dates and wolfberries. ”

"Then can the doctor prescribe a specific prescription?" Zishu asked.

"That's not necessary, seeing that you are not children of wealthy families, so let's ask the medicine boy to catch you a half-catty of red dates and wolfberries for the little girl to cook soup and drink." The doctor said.

Zishu and they quickly thanked the doctor, bought red dates and wolfberries and left the pharmacy. These two things cost them twenty cents.

"Let's go buy some lard and squeeze oil, and then buy some meat for Aluo, okay, eldest sister. Zishu said.

"Good. ”

Then the three siblings went to the butcher stall.

Zishu pointed to one of the large pieces of lard and asked, "Boss, how do you sell this lard?" "Little brother has good eyesight, this piece of lard is the fat of the big pig slaughtered today, and it is suitable for relying on oil." Fifteen pounds, how much does the little brother want. "The stall owner is a strong middle-aged uncle who looks bold and energetic.

"Boss, can you get cheaper. Ziluo said.

"The little doll will still bargain? I will see such a clever and bold little doll for the first time, so I will give you fourteen yuan and a catty, it can't be lower. "The boss may have negotiated the price for the first time when he saw a child of a few years old, and he thought it was fresh, and quickly lowered the price for them.

"Then the boss has a pound. Ziwei said.

"Okay, it's a pound. "The boss quickly weighed the lard.

"Boss, how much is another pound of pork belly?" Zishu asked.

"Okay, pork belly thirteen. The boss said as he weighed the pork.

"How much is the lean meat and this rib and big bone, boss?" Ziluo asked.

"The little doll wants to eat lean meat and bones? The lean meat is very good, and the bones only have bones and no meat! How can these pork belly be delicious, wouldn't it be better to ask your brother to buy you an extra pound of pork belly." The boss said.

"Then how much do they cost a pound?" Ziluo was overjoyed when she heard this, it turns out that people nowadays like to eat fatty meat, because there is oil, and lard is more expensive than pork belly. That's right, Ziluo still likes to eat lean meat, and she knows a lot of ways to eat lean meat.

And the most surprising thing is that people have not yet realized the benefits of pig bones, in modern times, in the south where Ziluo lives, pig bones are a good material for people to make soup. Also, now that their brothers and sisters are seriously lacking in nutrition, this bone broth can just replenish the body, and now they are not tall, the calcium in this bone is exactly what is needed, Ziluo hopes that everyone will grow tall.

"Lean meat is five cents, and these pork bones will be given to you for three cents. The boss said.

"Okay, we want two pounds of lean meat, and we need bones. Ziluo replied.

"Little sister, is it okay for the eldest brother to buy you an extra pound of pork belly, then you don't want lean meat and bones, okay?" said the eldest brother Zishu of the sister control.

"No, I'm going to eat lean meat, big brother, you listen to me. Ziluo hurriedly sold Meng Dao, if the eldest brother didn't buy lean meat and bones, it would be a big loss.

"Well, well. Zishu thought that it was only thirteen yuan and the same price as pork belly, since the little sister wanted it, she should buy it.

After paying twenty-seven cents, he left the butcher's stall. Ziluo said: "Big brother and sister, is it strange that Ziluo spends money indiscriminately?"

Seeing Ziluo's pitiful appearance, how could the most temperamentless Ziwei still be able to hold on, and said with a smile: "You ghost elf, after falling into the water, you are getting poorer and poorer. If you want to talk about this money, without you as a lucky star, we won't come back, how can we blame you. But okay Aluo, money still can't be spent indiscriminately, you know?"

Ziluo looked left and right and left and right, and there was no one around them, so she whispered, "Okay, I don't spend money." Do you remember the old man I dreamed about last time? He told me that the recipe has pork bones and lean meat, and it can be made very delicious, so I will go back and make it for everyone to eat. ”

Ziwei, Zishu instantly became excited when she heard it, but soon Zishu reacted and said, "Remember that you must not tell you about that matter? ”

Ziluo rolled her eyes in her heart, big brother, are you sure you are willing to beat your little sister? However, Ziluo still agreed.

Passing by an embroidery village, Ziwei said to Zishu: "Brother, let's go and pick up some embroidery work, can we do it?" Zitao and I can do it, now we have a deposit, I want to do some embroidery work to make some money." “

"Okay, eldest sister, if you want to do it, take it. Don't get tired though. “

When she arrived at the embroidery shop, the proprietress was a capable woman in her thirties, she was very impressed with Ziwei, before Ziwei and her mother had taken over the embroidery work of their shop, and she was very satisfied with the embroidery work done by Ziwei's mother and daughter. After paying the deposit of fifty yuan and receiving some embroidery work, the proprietress asked Ziwei: "Why didn't your mother come this time?"

Ziwei's face darkened when she heard this, and she replied, "My mother passed away half a month ago. However, I can do the embroidery. Ziwei was afraid that the proprietress would take back the embroidery work because she was not worried about her doing these embroidery work, so she hurriedly assured.

When the proprietress heard this, she quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't know it would be like this." Hey, good boy, do all this embroidery. Don't worry, I'll give you a good price. ”

After thanking the proprietress of the hostess, Ziluo and the others went to find Aunt Chen. When she came to Aunt Chen's stall, Ziluo saw that there were still many vegetables and eggs in front of Aunt Chen's stall. It's about ten o'clock now. Aunt Chen asked, "Have you bought something so fast? I still have a lot of things that haven't been sold out." ”

"It's all bought, how is my aunt's business?" Ziwei asked.

"So-so. If we can't sell it out, we will take it home and eat it, anyway, the rabbit cubs at home can eat a lot, but there is no money. Aunt Chen said.

"Then I'll buy it for my aunt?" Ziluo asked.

"Okay, Ah Luo, if you can help me sell it, will I invite Ah Luo to eat candy?" Aunt Chen thought Zi Luo was joking, so she continued to joke.

"Sell vegetables, watery greens, and big eggs. Ziluo shouted, I don't know if it's because people have become smaller and bolder, Ziluo is not timid at all, Ziluo may not be able to do this before.

Sure enough, a middle-aged woman was attracted by Ziluo's shouting. "Little doll, how do you sell this vegetable and eggs?"

Ziluo saw that this aunt was better dressed, so she knew that there was a play.

"Sister, this green vegetable counts you two pennies a pound, and this egg costs a penny. How many girls are coming?" Aunt Chen quickly replied.

"Then two catties of vegetables and ten eggs. The eldest sister is so blessed, such a young child will help. The woman said.

"It's our neighbor's kid, but it's smart. Aunt Chen said with a smile, and quickly weighed the dishes and packed the eggs.

After finishing this business, there were not many eggs and vegetables, and the time was not early, so Aunt Chen decided to close the stall. On the way to the grain store, passing by a grocery store, Aunt Chen said, "Ah Luo, what kind of sugar do you want to eat, rock sugar or white sugar?"

Ziwei hurriedly said: "Auntie doesn't need it, she knows what a child knows, keep the money to buy pen and ink for Tiedan." ”

Ziluo also said: "Auntie, Ah Luo doesn't want sugar, eating sugar will give you a toothache, my aunt helped us so much before, Ah Luo should help my aunt once, my brother said, to be a man, we must be grateful to repay our kindness, and in the future, we will have the ability to repay those who have helped us." ”

After listening to this, Aunt Chen and Uncle Chen sighed with emotion, the children of the poor have long been in charge, these brothers and sisters are so sensible at such a young age, they will definitely have a lot of success in the future, and more importantly, they are people who know how to be grateful.

"Okay, my aunt won't buy it for Ah Luo, and Ah Luo can find her aunt if she has anything to do in the future. ”

Then they all came to the grain store, and the shopkeeper saw the customer coming, and hurriedly greeted him: "What does the guest want?"

"How do you sell the food of the shopkeeper's house?" Uncle Chen took over.

"Sorghum flour and black flour are two cents a catty, coarse noodles and cornmeal are three cents a catty, white flour and coarse rice are seven cents a catty, and polished rice is ten cents a catty, what do the guest officers want?"

"How do you buy Brother Shu'er?" Uncle Chen asked Zishu. Zishu thought for a while and said, "Let's have fifty catties of sorghum flour, twenty catties of cornmeal, and four catties of polished rice." ”

"Okay, the guest officer has two pieces of silver. The grain was quickly packed, the shopkeeper said as he counted the accounts.

After paying the money and leaving the grain store, they passed by a stall selling chickens, Ziluo saw it and said to Ziwei: "Sister, let's buy some chickens and raise them, so that everyone will have eggs to eat." ”

Ziwei thought that this was okay, so she said, "Yes, but Ah Luo has to help feed the chickens." ”

"Okay, Xiaoliu and I will help. Ziluo said happily.

Then, they caught ten more chickens, each of which was four yuan Aunt Chen helped pick, saying that there were nine hens and one rooster, and Ziluo didn't understand how she could distinguish them.

On the way, Ziluo calculated how much money they used: 20 wen for the pharmacy, 27 wen for selling meat, 50 wen for the deposit of the embroidery shop, 200 wen for grain, and 40 wen for buying chicken seedlings. They had a total of three hundred and thirty-seven wen, and they only had two taels of silver.

After a morning of observation, Ziluo knew that one tael of silver was equal to a thousand dollars, and the purchasing power of one penny was about equal to one dollar in modern times, Ziluo thought that she still needed to come up with other ways to make money, otherwise the money would soon run out, just relying on the eldest sister to do embroidery work and raise these ten chickens could not make money at all, not to mention that Ziluo wanted Zishu and Zixuan to go to private school.

Ziluo thought that she still had a long way to go.
