Chapter 51: Mother-in-law
"Preserved meat? What is it? The shopkeeper had never heard of this, and couldn't help but look at Gu Jiujiu with a puzzled expression.
Seeing the expression on the shopkeeper's face, Gu Jiujiu didn't explain much, but directly showed him the dried meat wrapped in oiled paper in his hand, "Shopkeeper, look at it, this is the dried meat I made!" ”
The shopkeeper glanced down at the dried meat in Gu Jiujiu's hand, only to see that it was a piece of jerky made of pork, each piece of jerky was cut very thin, almost as thin as the layer of oil paper wrapped around it, after reading it, he pointed to the things wrapped in the oil paper, "This is the dried meat in your mouth, little lady?" ”
"Nice!" Saying that, Gu Jiujiu smiled, "Shopkeeper, why don't you try it?" ”
The shopkeeper looked at Gu Jiujiu, then at the dried meat in her hand, and after hesitating for a moment, he took a piece and tasted it.
When the shopkeeper finished eating the dried meat in his mouth, Gu Jiujiu asked tentatively, "Shopkeeper, what do you think of the taste?" ”
"Salty and sweet, chewy!" The shopkeeper simply replied, "It tastes good!" ”
Hearing the shopkeeper's words, Gu Jiujiu suddenly felt happy in his heart, "Then I don't know the shopkeeper, are you willing to accept this dried meat I made?" ”
The shopkeeper looked at the butcher shop in Gu Jiujiu's hand, thought for a moment and said slowly: "Little lady, let's do it!" I want all these dried meat of yours, if they sell well, I will let the little lady send them to you in the future, how about it? ”
"Yes!" Gu Jiujiu agreed without thinking.
"Ah Fu, come here, take this dried meat!" Seeing that Gu Jiujiu nodded, the shopkeeper asked Xiao Er, who was standing on the side, to take the dried meat.
After Ah Fu went down, the shopkeeper took out 500 yuan from the account room and gave it to Gu Jiujiu.
After receiving the money, Gu Jiujiu and the shopkeeper said goodbye and left the inn.
Looking at the copper plate in the palm of her hand, Gu Jiujiu hooked her lips slightly, she didn't expect to sell so much silver, well, more than twice as much as she expected. Originally, she thought that these dried meats would sell for about 200 wen at most.
Walking in the bazaar, thinking that Brother Yan likes to learn characters, Gu Jiujiu decided to buy a brush and an inkstone for Brother Yan.
found the bookstore in the bazaar, chose a pen and inkstone, and looked at the many books in the shop, Gu Jiujiu bought the Book of Poetry and the Four Books by the way. At the beginning of spring next year, Brother Yan went to school, and these two books will be used.
asked the shopkeeper, these things cost a total of thirty copper plates, and after finding out the money and paying for it, Gu Jiujiu walked out of the bookstore.
I took the ox cart back, and before I walked into the yard, I saw Sister Yuan eating a piece of pastry in her little hand. The little mouth and the little face are covered with crumbs of pastries.
When Sister Yuan saw Gu Jiujiu coming back, she immediately looked at her with a smile, "Sister, someone came to our house today and brought snacks and meat, the snacks are delicious!" ”
"Someone came to our house? Brought snacks and meat? Gu Jiujiu looked at Sister Yuan in some surprise, but she didn't know who Sister Yuan was talking about?
"Hmm!" Sister Yuan nodded her little head, "Today, sister, you went to the market, my mother and I were going to pick herbs, and then, they came!" ”
With questions, he led Sister Yuan into the courtyard, Yan was drying the herbs he had picked back, and when he saw Gu Jiujiu coming back, he said, "Xiao Jiu, your father-in-law and mother-in-law are here today!" ”
