The back basket behind her suddenly became heavy, and she was going to buy something, but she really couldn't carry it.

Gu Qing walked out with a backpack weighing dozens of pounds and met Yang Pei head-on.

Yang Pei handed the remaining copper plate to Gu Qing and took a small bag of salt: "Master, the price of salt has risen, and you can only buy such a small ...... for ten cents."

Gu Qing shook his head: "I just bought some too, let's go home." ”

The salt in the mall is cheap, and you can buy five bags for ten cents.

The two got on the ox cart, Gu Qing counted the money left in his hand, bought all the ready-to-wear clothes for one or two silver, and spent 60 wen to buy a pot for 1,600 wen from selling mushrooms.

Well? Thinking of the pot, thinking of the noon dishes, Gu Qing hurriedly opened Yang Pei's back basket to check, and there were really only all kinds of seasonings and all kinds of coarse and fine grains in it.

Gu Qing sighed with a complicated expression, so he had to hold his back basket and spend two hundred wen to buy ten catties of pork belly, five pork ribs, and two pig's trotters in the mall.

Gu Jiang saw her back basket and asked casually: "Why did Gu Niangzi buy two pots, this pot looks really good, when did Zhu Blacksmith's craftsmanship be so good?" ”

Gu Qing said: "It wasn't made by Blacksmith Zhu." ”

Where exactly did she buy it, but she refused to say another word.

Gu Jiang secretly thought, it would be good to have food to eat this year, this loser actually spent money to buy two pots.

The other people on the ox cart were in a bad mood when they came to town, chatting all the way.

"Millet costs five cents a pound, how can I afford it, so I bought some buckwheat flour."

"There are only three days of food rations left in the house, all pointing to the crops in the field, and it will take a month before the sickle can be opened, and our family can only eat the vegetables in the field every day."

"Last year, the drought court issued relief grain, but this year the wind and rain are smooth, and when the grain is collected and taxes are paid, there should be a lot left."

"I heard that it rains every day in Huzhou, and all the crops are drowned, so many people are suffering, is there enough food for the imperial court? Won't we have to pay more taxes then, right? ”

“……”

The more you talk, the more dreary the atmosphere becomes.

Last year's drought caused no harvest in Gujia Village, and it has survived until now thanks to the relief of the imperial court and the autumn planting and spring harvest.

Now it's finally about to be harvested, and the lake city next door is flooded......

When they arrived at the entrance of the village, Gu Qing and Yang Pei jumped out of the car, and only Gu Yu was at home, sewing and mending clothes.

Gu Qing walked in: "Yu'er, go close the door." ”

As the saying goes, wealth is not exposed, and food cannot be exposed, otherwise it will attract the covetousness of others, which is why she will buy two pots in the town, and the iron pot is buckled on the back basket, and no one can see what is in her back basket.

Even Yang Pei didn't know what Gu Qing had bought.

Gu Qing took out the iron pot first, and then took everything else out in the same way.

Ten pounds of pork belly, five pork ribs, two pig's trotters and six sets of ready-to-wear.

He also took out 20 catties of rice, 20 catties of white flour, 30 catties of cornmeal, 30 catties of buckwheat noodles, a large bag of coarse salt, and all kinds of necessary seasonings from Yang Pei's back basket, and put a table full of them...... She still has 1,430 coins left on her body plus Yang Pei's unused 280 coins, and there are still 1,710 copper coins, and she will go to the mountains to find mushrooms in the afternoon to earn some copper coins.

With a mall in hand, making a fortune is not a dream!

Gu Qing cut out two catties of pork belly and took a pig's trotter and handed it to Gu Yu: "Send these to grandma." ”

The original body is not good for the family, and it all depends on the old lady to secretly receive food, otherwise the family will only be thinner.

Gu Yu paused: "Eldest sister, send so much?" ”

Gu Qing glanced at her: "In the past, you didn't eat less private food from grandma, but now that we have something to eat, are you stingy?" ”

"It's not stingy, eldest sister, these are all grains in exchange for the silver hairpin given by A-Niang, let's not keep it and eat it slowly, how can we buy so much meat? What can I do after I finish eating? Gu Yu worried, her eldest sister really won't live!

"At a young age, there are a lot of worries, rest assured, the mushrooms you picked yesterday sold for 1,600 Wen, let's go up the mountain again this afternoon, in short, the eldest sister will not be hungry for you anymore!"

"What? 1600 Wen? "Gu Yu and Yang Pei are speechless, the mushrooms on this mountain are so valuable, and the people in the village don't know? Why did you let the head of the family find out?

Gu Qing also explained more to the two of them, afraid that the more he depicted it, the darker it would be, so he waved the two out: "Okay, don't ink, hurry up and send the meat to Grandma, Yang Pei, you go to find Zhu Han and come back to cook!" ”

Gujia Village eats twice a day, one in the morning and one in the evening, and there will be no fire at noon.

But at this moment, the smell of meat was faintly floating in the air.

Aunt Zhao sat in the yard and sniffed hard, this is the fragrance of pork, definitely pork.

At this time, there are still people in the village who can afford to eat pork!

Aunt Zhao walked out of the yard following the fragrance and saw Gu Nuo coming from the ridge, his small body carrying a big basket full of stinky vegetables.

"Xiaonuo, why are you digging so many stinky vegetables?"

Gu Nuo replied honestly: "The eldest sister said that stinky vegetables can be used in medicine. ”

The corners of Aunt Zhao's mouth twitched, and she didn't eat stinky chickens and ducks, so she could use medicine? Gu Niangzi is deceiving children.

"Arnold, you wait!"

Aunt Zhao turned around and entered the house, took out a nest head, stretched it out and retracted it, then broke it in half, and stuffed a small half into Zhao Sidan's hand: "Hurry up and eat it, fill your stomach." ”

Gu Nuo hurriedly pushed back: "Auntie, I can't ask for ......"

"You kid, just give it to you, what's the politeness?" Aunt Zhao scolded angrily, "Your eldest sister, you have sold all the good things, and you have suffered a few of you, and the ten-year-old child looks like a six- or seven-year-old...... Your eldest sister also deserves it, she doesn't do anything serious all day long, and she was beaten up by her husband, which is really laughing! Xiaonuo, when you grow up, move out of the house quickly, don't stay at home as an old scalper, you can't even get a bite to eat......"

Gu Qing was washing his hands in the courtyard when he heard the sound of scolding outside.

Who is it that stands at the door of her house in broad daylight and scolds her?

She wiped her hands and walked out, and saw Aunt Zhao pulling Gu Nuo to stand at the door next door to speak, Gu Nuo wanted to interrupt several times, but was forcibly pressed back by Aunt Zhao: "Okay, eat this half of the nest head quickly, don't let your eldest sister see it, otherwise you won't be able to fall into ......"

Gu Qing also took it, sharing food is obviously a good deed, but it was made by Aunt Zhao, which made people suffocated.

However, she recalled the things that the original body did, and she could also understand why Aunt Zhao was so angry with the original body, because the two families were neighbors, and there was a honey locust tree between the two yards.

Many times, the original body has taken the bloody head of the dog scolded by Aunt Zhao back to autism.

Even so, Aunt Zhao even secretly stuffed the original brother's nest.

As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, if you can turn hostility with Aunt Zhao, it would be a good thing, but the original personality is bitter and mean, and the sudden change is really abrupt.

"Keep this thing for yourselves." Gu Qing stepped forward and picked up the back basket on Gu Nuo's body, "Our family has meat to eat today, who still eats wowotou?" ”

Her words, three points of ridicule, three points of mockery, and four points of showing off, but she learned the temperament of the original body by eight points.

Aunt Zhao smelled the smell of meat floating in the air, full of disbelief: "Can your family still afford to eat meat?!" ”
