Chapter Seventy-Eight: Buy, Buy, Buy
Don't talk about Wang Xiao, even Wang Yi'an was stunned on the side.
Aunt Liu, this is really, why is she so talented?
This is the first time that Wang Yi'an has put the beautiful word talent on a woman, and it is subconscious.
He glanced at Wang Xiao quietly, and saw that Wang Xiao's eyes were also blooming with little stars, and he was looking at his mother with a look of adoration.
Wang Yi'an couldn't help but secretly tug Wang Xiao's sleeve and said:
"Brother Xiao, let's go, let's talk on the side."
Wang Xiao followed to the side, and Wang Yi'an asked him:
"Is Aunt Liu so powerful? Can you read and write, and will you have a new mental arithmetic method? ”
"Yes, my mother was beaten by my father before, you think about my father's violent temper, my mother has to worry about it all day long, plus our brothers and sisters were still young at that time, and there are many things at home, she works very hard, how can she have the heart to show this."
Wang Xiao has already made up for it and explained all the unreasonable behaviors for his mother.
Wang Yi'an listened to it, and after thinking about it carefully, it is indeed not easy for Wang Xiao's family of 5 brothers and sisters to be big, and it is mainly up to Liu Wan to pull it alone, and Wang Dazhi has never contributed at all.
How terrifying Wang Dazhi was before, he also saw with his own eyes in the village, if he lost money, drank again, and started a drunken madness, he would beat people to death.
He saw that Wang Xiao was once pushed directly from the high slope of the village to the field by Wang Dazhi, if it wasn't for the soft mud underneath, if it was all stones, maybe he would have fallen to his death.
An excellent woman, married the wrong person, and with her talent, she delivered firewood, rice, oil, salt, and fed to the dogs.
Wang Yi'an had an intuitive view of adult marriage for the first time, and sighed in his heart.
At this time, Liu Wan was invited by the boss of Zhuang to go to the backyard to teach him the method of mental arithmetic.
In fact, the method of mental arithmetic mainly relies on her own long-term practice, Liu Wan wrote the mantra to Boss Zhuang, asked him to take 13 taels of silver, patted his ass and left.
The boss promised to give twenty taels of silver, of which seven taels of silver were directly offset by the money of the four treasures of the study.
Liu Wan asked Boss Zhuang to memorize the mantra first, and then when she came to the town, she would tell him how to use it practically.
Boss Zhuang knew that she was Wang Yi'an's fellow villager, but he was not afraid that she would run away.
If Liu Wan deceived him, he would still be able to track down Taoyuan Village, an ordinary village woman, and the boss was not overly vigilant about her.
Nowadays, social circulation is inconvenient, and if you want to go out, you have to have a receipt, so it is impossible for a normal farmer to cut off the connection with society and run away without a trace for 10 taels of silver.
Wang Xiao temporarily kept the silver for his mother, and put the thirteen taels of silver together with the fifty taels of silver of the shopkeeper, and now the family has a total of 93 taels of silver.
Wang Xiao's brain was dizzy, and he couldn't believe it for a while.
With so much silver, many problems at home can be solved.
Liu Wan thanked Wang Yi'an, and then prepared to go home with Wang Xiao.
Liu Wan checked the heavy pen and paper in the back basket, and complained to Wang Xiao:
"I didn't expect the four treasures of the study to be so expensive, the inkstone is a one-time investment, it is good to be able to use it all the time, and the pen can be used repeatedly, but like the consumable ink strips and paper, we can make it ourselves."
Liu Wan calculated, the current paper, almost 10 times the price of A4 paper in later generations, if the whole family reads and reads, the consumption of paper alone is very large.
However, under the concept of equal education, it is impossible for Liu Wan to say that only a certain child is allowed to learn, and some children do not study, so she moved the idea of doing it herself and saving costs.
"Mother, papermaking? No one in our village does. And the ink strips are not so easy to make. ”
Wang Xiao shook his head.
"Hehe, I'll figure it out, maybe I can figure it out."
Liu Wan is particularly fond of travel in modern society, and her annual vacation is spent on tourism.
She has been to many ethnic minority areas, where many traditions of making traditional handicrafts have been preserved and have been developed as tourism projects.
Everywhere Liu Wan goes, she can learn a lot.
She has seen the traditional craftsmen do it with her own eyes, and she has also heard them explain the steps and materials.
So, she had to make paper and ink strips, and as long as she found the raw materials, it was only a matter of time.
And here, time is the least valuable.
The mother and son were walking on the road, Liu Wan saw a small stall on the street, selling big sugar slots, this is a kind of pasta, breaded with cotton sugar, after frying, the sugar melted, take a bite while it is hot, the melted sugar water flows out, crispy and sweet, very delicious.
Liu Wan paid for one for herself and Wang Xiao, and the two continued to walk around the street while eating sugar slots to see what else to buy.
Wang Xiao ate the corners of his mouth with sugar stains, and said: "It's delicious, someone in our village has planted a lot of sugarcane in the mountains, and if it can be made into sugar, you can make a lot of money."
But they don't know how to do it, they all take the sugarcane directly to the town and sell it, which is not worth a few dollars, and a sugarcane is only two cents at most. ”
Liu Wan nodded.
But she doesn't think Sugar Slot is as delicious as her own frying. Because as soon as she bought the sugar slot, she triggered the food task of the food system: Sweet Fried Sugar Slot.
Before she knew it, she mastered a good technique of frying sugar slots in the free practice space.
The dough is crispy and the white sugar melts to seventy, so she can fry the sugar slots with the best eating taste.
Go home and fry it for the babies as snacks.
"Mother, shall we go back now?" Wang Xiao asked.
In fact, he was quite afraid of his mother's visit to the market, because when his mother visited, she would definitely have to buy something.
It cost 7 taels of silver to buy the four treasures of the study just now, but fortunately, my mother used the method of mental arithmetic to exchange 20 taels of silver, otherwise, now the silver on my body will be Huo Huo A large piece of it will be out.
"Walk."
Liu Wan said resolutely.
So, Liu Wan bought flour and white sugar in a rice, flour, grain and oil store, and said that she was going back to fry sugar corners for everyone to eat.
Walking to an incense and candle shop, Liu Wan entered the store and asked:
"Shopkeeper, do you have any candles that are particularly thick?"
"Oh, yes, it's the thickest candle we've ever had, a 50 candle."
Dude is enthusiastic and authentic.
"What? Why is it so expensive? ”
Wang Xiao was startled and subconsciously covered his money bag.
Liu Wan has always handed over the money to him for safekeeping outside, because she is a woman after all, and the money bag is bulging on her body, and it is not suitable to stuff it anywhere.
"Fortunately, our candles don't look a little more expensive, and the time to light them is also long, if one is lit for an hour at night, it can be used for four days, and the brightness is enough, as long as one, the whole hall will be as bright as day."
Dude is quite talkative.
"Mother, it's too expensive, let's not buy it, the oil lamp at home can be used, make it bigger!"
Why does Wang Xiao think he is spending this money in vain?
Is it sleep at night, as bright as day? Joke, isn't that not a need to sleep?
