31 A gift from the second brother

Qin Xiaoyao was willing to accept it, and hurriedly refused.

Uncle Zhao was angry.

"If you want to take it, don't you think your uncle will give you less?!"

Hearing this, Qin Xiaoyao dared to refuse.

"Thank you, uncle!" Touched by the way.

Uncle Zhao glared at Qin Xiaoyao angrily again.

"Here we go again!"

Then, I talked to Qin Xiaoyao again, and I would come to Fulou to sell things in the future.

"I've already said hello to them, and if you come to sell goods in the future, as long as it can be used in the back kitchen, you will accept it."

"Even if I'm not there, they'll take the goods and give the money. You can rest assured. ”

Qin Xiaoyao nodded.

chatted with Uncle Zhao for a while, and then was personally sent out by Uncle Zhao.

When the people in the back kitchen of Laifulou saw this situation, they knew that Qin Xiaoyao had a lot to do with their Zhao steward, and they didn't dare to slack off one by one.

That's of course an afterthought.

Out of the back kitchen of Laifu Building, Qin Xiaoyao took the flat shoulder and went to Baicaotang with the basket on his back to grab medicine for Song Que.

Four prescriptions, a total of twelve pairs of medicines, actually spent one or two taels of silver.

Fortunately, these twelve pairs of medicine can be managed for six days, otherwise, she is really afraid that she will not be able to afford it.

After putting the medicine in the back basket, Qin Xiaoyao went to the store where he bought grain yesterday and refunded the deposit in the two pockets containing brown rice and rough noodles.

found that there was salt for sale in the grain store, Qin Xiaoyao did not go far and did not go far, and paid for a pound of salt.

Fortunately, this time she prepared in advance and brought a jar that could hold salt, which saved the deposit for the salt jar.

But salt is expensive, a pound of salt cost her twenty yuan.

This is, of course, because salt is expensive, and salt in this era is an officially controlled product, and the salt tax is extremely high, which raises the price of salt.

After paying for the salt, Qin Xiaoyao saw that there was still sugar to sell next to him.

Thinking of the taste of sugar cakes, I couldn't hold back my greed, and weighed a pound of sugar.

The reason why I only buy one pound is also because the price of white sugar is also expensive, which costs 12 yuan.

After buying something and walking out of the grain store, Qin Xiaoyao only felt that the money was too easy to spend.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Xiaoyao then went to the grocery store to buy lamp oil.

The price of lamp oil is not cheap, fifteen cents per catty. Qin Xiaoyao only bought two catties of lamp oil in the end.

When buying lamp oil, Qin Xiaoyao also deliberately took a look in the grocery store and found that this grocery store also sold straw sandals, and they were also sold for five cents a pair.

So, after paying for the lamp oil, Qin Xiaoyao asked the shopkeeper if he accepted straw sandals.

The shopkeeper was a little surprised when he saw the straw sandals in Qin Xiaoyao's back basket.

"My straw sandals don't sell very well here, so there's not much demand." The shopkeeper spoke.

"But the lady's straw sandals are delicately woven. In this way, if you want to, lady, you can sell me five pairs. The price—" A hint of hesitation flashed in the shopkeeper's eyes.

"Three texts and one pair—" he said.

Qin Xiaoyao hurriedly responded.

"Done! Boss, you pick it yourself. Then, he brought out a string of straw sandals.

The shopkeeper smiled and picked out five pairs of straw sandals.

Then he settled fifteen yuan for Qin Xiaoyao.

Qin Xiaoyao accepted it with a smile, thanked the shopkeeper before leaving.

Finally, fifteen more pieces were recorded, and Qin Xiaoyao walked briskly.

Immediately, I went to the West Street Vegetable Market.

Seeing that the vegetables were cheap, she bought some more.

After that, I went to Qin Dazhuang's meat stall.

Because today is not a big gathering, there are not many people at Qin Dazhuang's meat stall.

Seeing his daughter coming, Qin Dazhuang beckoned to Qin Xiaoyao from afar.

"Why are you here so late?" Wait until the girl approaches.

"I went to Laifulou to deliver yams, and then I went to Baicaotang to buy medicine for Xianggong. I also bought some things that were lacking at home, and I came here when the matter was done. Qin Xiaoyao said as he gave the basket to Qin Dazhuang and asked his father to help him put the basket down.

Qin Dazhuang saw the most eye-catching medicine bag in his daughter's back basket, and a touch of distress flashed in his eyes.

"Yo, so many medicines, it cost a lot of money, right?" Asked tentatively.

"It's done! Don't look at the medicine, but what about the six-day dose. Again, the amount of medicine will be slowly reduced, and the cost of medicine will also be slowly reduced. Qin Xiaoyao replied, and did not say how much money it spent.

Seeing his father's worried face, I knew what he was thinking.

Qin Xiaoyao changed the topic again.

"Your son-in-law didn't sign the document yesterday, and the sister-in-law didn't ask you about it?"

Qin Dazhuang was stunned.

"What's the embarrassment? Auntie, that person—"

"Hey, not the kind of person who is completely unreasonable. She knew that I had borrowed five taels less, and she might be happy. "Returned.

It's strange that I didn't make trouble, but in the end, I borrowed five taels less, and I didn't toss too much.

But where can he say these words to his daughter?

Qin Xiaoyao smiled and looked at his father.

A "just pretend" expression.

It wasn't until he saw his father's embarrassed face that he looked away.

"You said you didn't make a fuss, then let's treat it as if you didn't make a fuss."

Before his father was ready to defend himself, Qin Xiaoyao took out the straw sandals.

"There were originally twelve pairs of straw sandals, but I sold five pairs at the grocery store over there, and now there are only seven pairs left."

"I'll put these shoes here for you, and you can sell them for me to try."

When Qin Dazhuang heard this, he didn't care about arguing with his daughter about what happened just now.

"Done! Three pennies a pair, right, I'll give you twenty-one pennies first. As he spoke, he prepared to pay for it.

Qin Xiaoyao hurriedly stepped forward and pressed Qin Dazhuang's hand.

"Sell it and give it back! When the time comes, I won't be polite to you! ”

Qin Dazhuang was helpless, knowing that he couldn't resist his daughter, so he nodded.

"Okay."

Qin Xiaoyao looked at the meat on Qin Dazhuang's stall again.

Just about to speak, I asked my father to cut a few catties of fat meat.

Qin Dazhuang had already brought out a large lump of lard fat from the basket on the side.

"This is what your second brother asked me to give you. I almost thought you weren't here today, and I thought I'd have to send it to you. ”

The fat was too heavy, and after Qin Dazhuang brought it up, he had to put it in Qin Xiaoyao's back basket.

Qin Xiaoyao recovered from the shock and hurriedly prepared to stop it.

Unexpectedly, before he could speak, Qin Dazhuang said again: "There must be more than twenty catties here, and your second brother made a special trip to stay for you." ”

"Yesterday, you received the silver from the boss, there is no reason not to want the second child."

As soon as these words came out, Qin Xiaoyao froze.

This is lard, and it produces a lot more oil than pork fat.

Although the unit price is less than that of pork fat, it is the most sought-after item on the meat stall. If you want to buy it, you have to hurry.

Twenty catties of lard, if one catty is counted as fourteen yuan, it will be close to three dollars of silver.

The second brother's gift is too precious.

Qin Dazhuang helped his daughter fill the lard, and when he saw that his daughter's back basket was stuffed, he felt comfortable.

Immediately, he turned around and went to the butcher stall to get the pork liver.

Unexpectedly, when he turned around and came back, Qin Xiaoyao didn't let him put anything in his back basket no matter what.
