Chapter 97: Spending money

Although the room in the old mansion of the Zhu family is large, it cannot fit three beds in the room at the same time. So, two beds are enough.

If you want to sleep more spaciously, just put two beds together. Of course, it is also possible to take turns sleeping in a single bed, and the three people in each room can be assigned by themselves.

As for Wen Xian's room, Wen Xian slept in a bed by herself, and Jiang Jingwan took Xiao Chuyi to sleep in a bed.

It's just that the quilt and cotton wool are not enough, and there is not enough change of clothes or something.

has already come here, Wen Xian still wants everyone to live comfortably. After all, the twelve taels of silver were all earned by everyone's hard work and charcoal.

So, Wen Xian asked Zhu Qing: "Young Master Qing knows where to sell cloth and cotton, I want to buy some to make quilts and clothes." ”

She thought for a while and continued: "I also want to buy some grain, about two hundred catties of polished rice and one hundred catties of flour. You know, we don't have a lot of food. ”

Not only is it not much, but it is almost out of ammunition.

Especially in the month when Jiang Jingwan was confined, she opened a small stove for Jiang Jingwan every time, and all she cooked was polished rice and meat.

In short, if you can give Jiang Jingwan good food, you will never give her bad food. I'm afraid that if you don't pay attention, you won't sit in confinement and fall ill.

As for why you don't buy brown rice, of course, you can eat polished rice if you have it. Brown rice, even Wen Xian can't swallow it very well.

They would rather work harder and earn more money later than continue to eat brown rice at a loss.

Zhu Qing smiled: "I thought it was something, I could help with this." Tomorrow I will go to sea to the town to do things in the shop, and I will be back in about three or five days. If you are in a hurry, you can go to my house and bring a few quilts over to use. The same is true for food, if I am in a hurry, I still have it at home. ”

Spending the New Year on Sun Island means being stranded on the island for months. So, he usually spends a year away and a year in Sun Island.

It just so happened that from last year to now, it was the year he stayed on the island for the New Year.

Because he promised to go to Death Island a year ago, he postponed the day of leaving the island for a few days.

Now that he can go to sea, he has to take stock of the business outside.

Moreover, the person who had gone out to seek medical treatment had not yet returned, so he was not at ease and wanted to go out to have a look.

"Don't worry, just help buy it when Young Master Qing comes back. Take the money first, and if it is not enough, I will give it to you when I come back. Wen Xian directly handed over ten taels of silver to Zhu Qing.

Ask someone to buy something, where can you let someone advance money first.

However, Zhu Qing didn't finish it, but picked up five taels of silver from her hand and said, "These things you want are enough for three taels, how about I buy more food for you with the rest of the silver?" ”

He continued: "There is not much land suitable for cultivation on Sun Island, and even fewer fields suitable for growing rice, most of which are mainly wheat, and it is difficult to be self-sufficient.

Now the wheat will be harvested in two months, and you can buy some fields and plant rice after the harvest. But the rice harvest is still early, so we need to prepare some grain. ”

If you have food in your hands, you won't panic, and besides, he thinks that Wen Xian and these people won't farm too well. Whether it can be harvested successfully or not, and how much it will be harvested, is a question.

Even the natives of the village may not be able to plant well. People who have extra money have to buy food from outside every year to eat. And if you don't have money, you can only catch up with the sea more, and use seafood to match, and you can barely get by.

Wen Xian said clearly: "Okay, then please trouble Young Master Qing to help me spend all the five taels of silver." In addition, these five taels, please help me buy a pair of silver needles back, I don't know if these silver are enough. ”

"Silver needle?" Zhu Qing was surprised, "Miss Wen can also do acupuncture?" ”

Acupuncture is not something that ordinary people can learn, if Wen Xian really knows acupuncture, then her medical skills may be beyond his imagination.

Wen Xian smiled and nodded: "I know a little bit about it, speaking of which, I also want to be cheeky and ask you to help bring some common herbs back, and buy some straw paper and pens by the way." ”

I didn't know that Zhu Qing was going out of the island before, but now that she knows, she has more things to buy.

Some medicinal herbs are hard to find in the mountains, so you have to buy some from the outside clinic and prepare them. Paper and pen must also be available, and prescriptions must always be used.

In fact, she didn't even want to buy a pen, she just wanted to buy some cheap straw paper and make her own charcoal. After all, in these years, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are very expensive.

With so many things, I don't know if this bit of silver is enough.

Wen Xian thought about it, and handed the remaining one or two halves to Zhu Qing and said, "Add another one or two halves, and you can buy as many as you want." ”

However, Zhu Qing returned the two halves to her and said, "Ten taels is enough, what medicine do you need, can you write a list." I have pen and paper there and can go over and write. ”

The medicine he bought was also for the sick people on the island, and of course he would find a way to get it done.

"Look at me, that's all for now." Wen Xian patted her head and said embarrassedly, "Let's go, go to your house, I'll write a list of things to buy." ”

Wen Xian didn't grind, put away the money and went to his house with Zhu Qing to write a list.

Little Gray also wanted to follow, but Wen Xian didn't let it, just waited for it to stay at home, so as not to go out and scare people.

Now that everyone in the village knows that they have raised wolves, they have to keep Little Gray Gray mysterious, so that they can have a deterrent effect.

Zhu Jia, Zhu Father and Zhu Mother were all at home, Wen Xian said hello to them, and waited in the courtyard for Zhu Qing to come out with a pen and paper.

Mother Zhu dropped the work in her hand and wiped her hands, stepped forward and pulled Wen Xian enthusiastically and said, "Doctor Wen, come in and sit, and my aunt will pour you a glass of water." ”

I was in a depressed mood on this day, and the girl who saw the water spirit was in a good mood. It's a pity that her stinky boy has no ability, otherwise it would be good to kidnap someone back to be a daughter-in-law.

Facing Zhu's mother's enthusiasm, Wen Xian was a little overwhelmed, and hurriedly stopped the person and said, "Auntie, don't be busy, I'm not thirsty." ”

She changed the topic and continued: "I just saw my aunt's sad face, but what's the trouble? ”

It's not that she wants to gossip, but when she just entered the door, she saw Aunt Zhu rubbing Uncle Zhu's legs, and Uncle Zhu was full of pain.

She felt that she could probably help, and she could also divert Aunt Zhu's attention by the way.

"Hey, it's not that you Zhu Uncle Zhu has made another mistake." Aunt Zhu rubbed her eyebrows and said, "In the early years, your Uncle Zhu also had to fish in the sea to make a living, and after soaking in the sea water for a long time, he fell ill, and his knee had to hurt for a few days every year." It's an old problem, and most people in the village have this problem. ”

But there is no way, what if they don't go to the sea to make a living on this island. You can't leave behind the family business of your ancestors and run out to survive.

Besides, how good it can be to go out. Taxes are high outside, and they have to serve as conscripts. The soldiers are in chaos, and there is no peace on the island.

There are disadvantages on the island, but the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and no one can take care of it, so it is better than going out to send the dead.
