Chapter 159: Should She Consider Bringing Papermaking to Dafeng?
"How do you sell this puppy?"
Tao Xi squatted down and gently rubbed the puppy's head, and the little black dog immediately leaned over as if enjoying it, obviously liking her.
The aunt saw that she liked the little black dog so much, and there was a gleam in her eyes.
"Little lady, I'll sell you two hundred wen!"
Taoxi: ......
She glanced at the aunt who slaughtered the big family speechlessly, and she could buy forty catties of grain for two hundred wen.
"Forget it, don't want it!"
Tao Xi pretended to be disgusted and got up, and the little black dog's eyes were suddenly full of disappointment, and he barked at her.
The black dog was still young, but its bark was miserable, as if it had been abandoned.
Looking at Tao Xi's disgusted appearance, the aunt was a little anxious, "Little lady, don't worry, let's have a little less." ”
"Twenty Wen."
Jian Shiming, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up, and the words he said almost made the aunt lean forward and back angrily.
"No, I've been raising it for so many years, and it's cost a lot of food."
"His mother must be taking care of the home for you."
Jian Shiming opened his mouth calmly, choking his aunt, and he shouldn't know how to refute for a while.
"You brother is really ...... talking"
Tao Xi glanced at Jian Shiming, who was seriously bargaining, funny, and thought it was very interesting, if it was to let future people know that when Chao Shoufu also bargained, it would be very interesting.
However, facing the puppy's expectant little eyes, Tao Xi inexplicably felt that the puppy might know what they thought, so he squatted down and rubbed its dog head.
"Fifty Wen, forget it if you don't sell it!"
"Done, sold!"
The aunt gritted her teeth, although she didn't make much money, she couldn't eat enough these years, and almost no one would buy a puppy.
But such a little dog cub has nothing to eat, and fifty wen can buy a few catties of meat, which is better than dog meat.
Tao Xi happily paid the money and put the little black dog in the back basket on the ox cart.
"Don't move."
Unbeknownst to him, the little black dog who was almost eaten dog meat wagged its tail frantically at Tao Xi, and Tao Xi almost saw joy in its eyes.
This dog has really become a spirit.
When Tao Xi and Jian Shiming walked away, the aunt complained to the people next to her angrily.
"Look at that brother's good looks, it's really picky, such a man can't marry."
The person next to it: ......
Jian Shiming didn't know that he was being complained about, he looked at the little black dog in the back basket seriously, and his eyebrows wrinkled.
"It's not like a dirt dog."
"I don't know what breed it is, but I like it anyway."
Tao Xi didn't bother to think about this, anyway, it would be her dog in the future.
Seeing her smiling eyebrows and eyes, obviously very happy, Jian Shiming suddenly showed a smile.
"Yes, it's not about right and wrong and where it comes from."
Like her, he doesn't know where she comes from, but he wants to cherish the people he lives with in front of him.
The two went to the bookstore they went to last time, because of Tao Xi's arrogant behavior last time, the shopkeeper already knew her, and hurriedly greeted her warmly.
"Little lady, little boy, find any books you want, just pick."
"Thank you, shopkeeper!"
Tao Xi tied the cow to the outside of the shop, asked the shopkeeper to help watch it, and entered the bookstore with Jian Shiming.
Jian Shiming went to pick out the books he needed, but Tao Xi looked at those pen, ink, paper and inkstones:
"Shopkeeper, how do you sell these papers?"
In Tao Xi's eyes, these papers are very rough and yellowish, but when he thinks of his home, Jian Shiming often uses bamboo or wood chips to record.
That would be too much of a waste of time, so Tao Xi decided to buy some pen, ink, paper, and inkstones to go back.
The shopkeeper was overjoyed when he heard this, "The little lady has a good vision, this is a good paper from Huzhou." ”
Taoxi: ......
It's all like this, is it still a high-quality paper?
Should she consider moving papermaking to Dafeng?
Thinking wildly, Tao Xi's mouth didn't forget to ask: "How can this be sold?" ”
The shopkeeper replied with a smile; "A hundred dollars and a knife."
Hiss~
Tao Xi felt that his flesh hurt, no wonder there were so few people who could read in ancient times, and the cost of reading was so high.
You can buy 20 catties of sweet potatoes for 100 yuan.
And a knife is only a hundred pieces of paper, that is to say, a penny and a piece of paper, no wonder Jian Shiming is reluctant to buy it.
She pointed to the brush on one side again, "What about this one, how did you sell it?" ”
"The little lady's vision is really good, this is a wolf pen, if it weren't for the drought, this product would have been bought a long time ago, and one or two pieces of silver are worth two dollars."
The shopkeeper triumphantly picked up the brush in his hand, and suddenly sighed, "There is only this pen in the shop, and the other Dilong turned over and destroyed a lot last time."
There's no good ink left, look at it, it's all mutilated, and I've lost a lot! ”
Tao Xi followed his line of sight, and there was a few halves of ink not far away, which was indeed a pity.
But Tao Xi's eyes lit up slightly, and it could still be used if it was broken in half, "This thing is broken, do you still plan to sell it?" ”
"Little lady, you are generous, I won't say much to you, I usually sell this ink for two taels of silver, since it has been broken in half, if you want to buy it, it will be five hundred yuan!"
The shopkeeper is extremely sad, but no one wants to buy this broken thing, and it is better to dispose of it cheaply when it is placed in the dust.
"How did the inkstone sell?"
Tao Xi pointed to the inkstone not far from the ink and asked the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper happily took the inkstone to show her.
"This inkstone is good, you have to buy two taels of silver."
Tao Xi nodded, "Well, I want paper and brush inkstones, buy so many things from you, can this ink be a match?" ”
The ink was broken in half, and it was not a precious thing, and no one would necessarily buy it.
"You little lady."
The shopkeeper shook his head helplessly, looking at her eyes expectantly, Jian Shiming, who was not far away, was carefully selecting books and did not notice these.
He sighed, "Okay, okay, sell it to you, a total of three thousand and one hundred dollars, I hope your father-in-law will be promoted as soon as possible." ”
This ink is also put away, this business can make a lot of money, and the shopkeeper will give it to her generously!
"Lend you good words!"
Tao Xi happily gave the silver, it hurt a little, and it was almost four taels of silver to buy something casually.
When Jian Shiming picked out the book and came over, he saw what Tao Xi was holding in his hand, and she was smiling at him:
"Xianggong, I bought you some pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, so you don't have to engrave every day, how hard it is."
It took a long time to engrave so much content, and Tao Xi looked at it with a big head, which was a waste of time.
Jian Shiming's heart stagnated slightly, and a warm current swept through his limbs, this was the first time that he felt sorry for his hard work in engraving except for his father. 81??.?? M
The corners of his eyebrows and eyes were happy, and he was in a very good mood, "Well, I'll mention it." ”
He took the things in her hand, and Tao Xi took the book he picked out and paid the silver, and the two walked out of the bookstore with a smile on their faces.
Putting things on the ox cart, Tao Xi asked Jian Shiming, "Do you want to go shopping again?" ”

"Brother Shen!"
"Hmm!"
Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.
But it doesn't matter who it is.
There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.
on this.
Shen Changqing is used to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.
Arguably.
In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.
The Demon Suppression Division is huge.
The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.
Have memories of the predecessor.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.
Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.
At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.
Access to the attic.
The environment has changed in vain.
A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.
The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
