Chapter IX Procurement
"Yes, if you come to the county seat, you can also get a windfall."
Xi Zizi put the money in her purse, and was about to put it in her arms, when she saw the cut on her clothes that was cut by a knife, and there was another burst of anger in her heart.
He is just such a decent dress to wear when he goes out, even if he can make up for it, it doesn't look good with an extra patch.
The pickpocket lying on the ground suddenly felt a chill hit him, and when he looked up, he saw that the murderer was staring at him viciously.
"Master, you took all the silver dollars, and you beat the people, let me go." He wanted to cry without tears.
Xu Fugui couldn't help but kick him, "Hu Mazi is your boss, right?" ”
The pickpocket looked at him in surprise, hesitated, and nodded slowly.
"If you are not convinced, find Hu Mazi to help you and tell him that I am Xu Fugui."
After speaking, he picked up the melon skin hat on the ground and walked out of the alley in a good mood.
Hu Mazi is the leader of the pickpocket gang in Yunxi County, and he usually likes to fool around in the casino when he has nothing to do.
Although he is now down, for the sake of his past friendships, Hu Mazi will not be held accountable.
After all, it was his men who didn't have the eyesight.
After getting a windfall, Xu Fugui couldn't help but be a little moved when he smelled the smell of baked cakes and chaos.
After eating two meals of sweet potatoes, and he was not full, he didn't have a little oil and water in his stomach, so he couldn't be hungry.
But thinking of his relatives at home, he still held back his thoughts, and there was no reason to enjoy it alone.
It's better to do a good job at home, not to mention more, at least don't grieve your family with food and clothing.
I identified the direction, and was about to walk towards the west of the city, when I suddenly thought that the street in the past was the rice line of my father-in-law's house, and I hesitated, but I still turned around and chose to take a detour to the west of the city.
Thinking of the ridiculous things he did to his father-in-law before, he really has no face to see his father-in-law now.
endured the commotion of the five visceral temples in his stomach, came to the seed shop in the west of the city, and asked tentatively, "The shopkeeper, do you accept military tickets?" ”
The shopkeeper put down his abacus and shook his head without thinking, "No, except for military tickets and RMB, everything else is collected, what do you want to buy?" ”
When he looked up, surprise flashed in his eyes, "Isn't this Young Master Xu, why did you come to my place, don't you usually see you in the north of the city." ”
The casino and green house are in the north of the city.
Xu Fugui didn't expect that he was famous in the county, but the shopkeeper actually knew himself, laughed, and said generously:
"Shopkeeper, you don't know yet, I lost all my family property to Long Er, and I won't be a young master in the future, just call me Fugui in the future."
"Tsk, you, you ......" The shopkeeper smashed his mouth, as if he was sorry for him.
"So what do you want? How many military tickets you have, if less, I can decide. ”
Xu Fugui's eyes lit up, and he took out a thousand military tickets from his purse, and the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, you can collect it, what do you want, this season, I'm afraid I can only buy some autumn sweet potatoes and autumn potatoes." ”
Xu Fugui didn't think twice, "I want one and a half acres of potato seeds, one acre of sweet potato seeds, and buy some Chinese cabbage, chives, garlic, radish, and peppers...... Calculate how much money it costs, and if there are not enough military tickets, I will make up for it with fiat currency and silver dollars. ”
The shopkeeper smiled with some surprise: "I also said to the young master what to plant, I don't think someone has explained it to the young master, okay, I'll go get it for the young master." ”
Xu Fugui didn't explain, in the shopkeeper's impression, how could he know so much about things in the field.
What crops to buy, he thought clearly last night, the staple food is potatoes and sweet potatoes, potatoes can be planted more, because potatoes produce more than sweet potatoes.
Vegetables are naturally indispensable, Chinese cabbage and radish should be more varied, cabbage ripens quickly, and if the seeds are good, they can be served in a month.
And if you can't finish eating, you can also marinate it and keep it for a long time.
To be honest, it's a bit late to plant now, so it's best to plant in August, but there's no way to do it if it's late.
The shopkeeper wrapped all the seeds in yellow paper, Xu Fugui took all the military tickets and fiat currency to the shopkeeper, and took out three silver horns.
Fiat currencies are constantly depreciating, and they are used when they can be used.
The shopkeeper looked for him with ten copper plates, opened his mouth to say something, and finally sighed.
"Shopkeeper, thank you." Xu Fugui said sincerely, in this transaction, the shopkeeper lost a thousand military tickets.
"Young master, in the future, don't go to the north of the city."
"Don't worry, shopkeeper, don't gamble anymore."
Walking out of the seed store, holding the seeds in one hand and the purse in his arms tightly in the other, for fear of being stolen by pickpockets again.
Suddenly, he slapped his thigh violently, "Why didn't my mother think of this stubble!" ”
Bypassing the crowd and walking into a hidden alley, seeing that there was no one around, the mind moved, and seeds and purses appeared in the space.
Xu Fugui smiled proudly, now to see which pickpocket can steal his own things.
Walking out of the alley, he continued to wander the streets, taking advantage of the money he had to buy some things that the family lacked.
Kitchen knife, salt, pepper, peanut oil, axe, wood knife, hoe......
Halfway through, he took his white silk robe to the tailor's shop, and kept pulling the skin before the man took out four silver horns and bought it.
When I walked to Yunxi Bridge, I found that there were people selling lambs on the bridge, and I inquired about the price, and I needed eight silver horns, so I couldn't bear to buy it.
Silver horns and copper coins are auxiliary coins of silver dollars, and one silver dollar is worth ten silver horns or 1,000 to 1,000 copper coins.
There are also chickens and ducks near the sheep seller, Xu Fugui waved his hand, and bought two hens and two ducks, and ten chickens and ducks.
After this purchase, the silver dollars on my body were completely spent!
There are only five silver horns and dozens of copper plates left on his body.
There is no way, the price of silver dollars has been depreciating, don't look at four silver dollars is a lot, but it is really useless to spend.
However, Xu Fugui is not distressed, anyway, it is a windfall, and he is not distressed to spend it.
I bought a bamboo basket, put chickens and ducks in it, held lambs in my arms, carried large bags of things, and prepared to leave.
"Young Master of the Xu family?"
A suspicious voice came, Xu Fugui was stunned for two seconds, and then he realized that he was calling himself.
Turning his head, a young man wearing a white silk robe and holding a paper fan came over with a white beard.
After thinking about it in his mind, Xu Fugui had a smile on his face, "It turned out to be the young master of the Wang family, how have you been doing recently?" ”
Wang Wenchang put away the fan and looked at the lamb in his arms with disgust, "A dignified young master, how can you make it look like this." ”
"It's not a young master anymore, it's not as good as before, and now I can only beg for a living every day." Xu Fugui said generously.
Wang Wenchang is a member of the Wang family in the county seat, and the Wang family monopolized the rickshaw business in the county seat, and also opened a restaurant, and it is said that the family has too many copper coins to count.
Wang Wenchang is naturally not a bad moneymaker, he used to like to hang out in the casino like Xu Fugui, and the two also have a little friendship......
