Chapter 12: The Loser
The money from yesterday's wild goat sales was collected by He Dashu, and He Xiaoshan's brothers and sisters didn't know how much, Shao Fei, Meng Anhe, and the deposits they gave added up to a lot, but they hadn't been delivered yet, so they weren't their own.
But this time, the five taels of silver, which was really held in his hand, looked very weighty, which made the brother and sister happy.
He Xiaoting doesn't think that if she receives the reward, she will be inferior, it is rare to meet a stupid person with a lot of money, oh, no, it is a monk, where is she willing to refuse.
The so-called people are poor and short-minded, and they are probably like this!
But it doesn't matter, she has a strange power, as long as she is willing to work hard, she will definitely be able to make a fortune.
Out of the gate of Shao's house, He Xiaoshan began to get nervous, from time to time he reached out and pressed the purse hidden in his chest, looked left and right, and always felt that the passers-by around him had bad intentions.
He Xiaoting looked funny and sad, if the family had money, where would she take such a little money to heart.
"Big brother, don't be afraid," He Xiaoting leaned over and whispered, "With me, ordinary people can't snatch it away." ”
Besides, the two of them are dressed in tatters, and they look like children of poor families, where will they be targeted.
He Xiaoshan didn't know this truth, but he was too honest and had never experienced any major events, so he couldn't help but be nervous when he thought of the 'huge amount of money' he was carrying.
It's not okay to go on like this, the more nervous you are, the more greasy you seem.
"Why don't I get the purse?" He Xiaoting is an empathetic and good girl.
"It's not good," He Xiaoshan was a little moved, but a little embarrassed, "I'm my brother." ”
My sister is younger than him, is it really okay to take so much silver?
He Xiaoting flickered seriously, "Of course it's okay, I have a lot of strength, even tigers can win, and I'm not afraid of those bad guys." ”
This is not a lie.
Ordinary people can't beat He Xiaoting, but ordinary people can't look down on a few taels of silver, and they won't beat their ideas.
As for being young or something, please ignore it directly, her core is an adult.
He Xiaoshan felt that what his sister said was very reasonable, nodded unconsciously, found a corner with less crowds and more hidden, took out the purse from his arms, and reluctantly handed it over.
This purse is very exquisite, made of white brocade, and embroidered with green bamboo, which was given by Meng Anhe, and the poor people can't afford it.
"If the eldest brother really likes it, I'll pay you back when I get home," He Xiaoting proposed.
As long as the silver is handed over to the father, the purse is useless, and it is nothing to give to the eldest brother.
"No, no, no," He Xiaoshan waved his hand again and again, "This thing should not be eaten or drunk, so it will be used by me." ”
If no one in the family needs it, it's not bad to sell it, and you can also subsidize the family.
He Xiaoting shrugged her shoulders and pretended to be serious, "It's good that the eldest brother is happy, anyway, I don't need a purse." ”
Small, it can't hold much silver, so it plays a decorative role, and it is not as useful as a backpack crossbody bag.
It's a pity that she is in a different world, still a feudal society, and there is no small bag in her heart.
Emmm~ When there is extra cloth at home, let the eldest sister help make a small satchel.
Pinching the purse and feeling the weight of the silver inside, He Xiaoting suddenly had the urge to buy a large number of shares.
There is no way, whether you want to eat or not at home, whether you want to drink or not, it can be said that you lack everything.
He Xiaoshan hesitated for a while before he said, "Before the sun goes down, how about we go buy some black noodles or broken rice first?"
"Yes," He Xiaoting nodded with a smile, "Big brother, do you know where the grain shop is?"
The bazaar is mostly small vendors selling vegetables or snacks, surrounded by residential houses, and a few shops are either restaurants or grocery stores, and there are no grain shops in sight.
"Go to the grocery store and buy it," Mr. He said.
Whether it's oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, rice and white noodles, or even spices and seeds, as long as someone buys them, they can be found in the grocery store.
In order to make money, the grocery store owner is also working hard.
He Xiaoting wrinkled her little nose and complained unceremoniously, "Big brother, you are really worrying." ”
It's hard work to do anything, and compared to farming, it's already easy to open a shop and do business.
He Xiaoshan laughed, didn't say anything anymore, and took his sister into the nearest Jin Ji grocery store, "Dad said that the shopkeeper of Jin Ji will not cheat people." ”
In these years, honest people are always cheated, and they have to be careful.
He Xiaoting's black line, the cheap father is estimated to have suffered a lot, and he knows that he has to teach his children experience.
Okay, honest people are also wise, so go to Jin Ji.
The brother and sister were dressed in tattered clothes full of patches, and carried a broken bamboo basket into the Jinji grocery store, and immediately a young man with a beautiful face greeted them, "What do you two need?"
"How do you sell white noodles?" He Xiaoting asked.
He Xiaoshan was taken aback, and hurriedly pulled the sleeves of his sister, "Sanya, we can't afford to eat white noodles." ”
If you buy it back, my father and mother will be so distressed that I can't do it.
"I just asked casually, I didn't say I wanted to buy it," He Xiaoting said innocently.
"That's not good," He Xiaoshan was embarrassed, and turned his head to apologize to the beautiful young man, "I'm sorry, my sister is curious, you don't have to worry about her." ”
The handsome young man Jin Duoduo smiled, "It's okay, let's open the door to do business, where will it be troublesome for the guests." ”
then answered He Xiaoting's question, "White noodles are 7 wen a catty." ”
White flour is 7 wen a catty, and ten catties are 70 wen, which is not very expensive!
He Xiaoting, who has no common sense of life, feels sorry for herself if she doesn't buy a few catties of white noodles and go home to improve her life.
Immediately said heroically, "Weigh me ten catties." ”
He Xiaoshan's whole person was not good, "Didn't you say that you just asked and didn't buy it?"
"Oh, I changed my mind," He Xiaoting said calmly, "I suddenly want to taste the taste of white noodles, don't you want to eat it, big brother?"
It's impossible not to want to eat it, it's white noodles, white noodles that have never been eaten before.
He Xiaoshan was so entangled, "But ......"
"It's nothing," He Xiaoting intercepted the eldest brother's words, "It's not every day, and it should be eaten occasionally if you have the conditions." ”
Jin Duoduo nodded frequently, "The little girl is right, the money for ten catties of white flour is only a few packets of medicine, and it is more delicious." ”
"Aren't you talking nonsense," He Xiaoshan muttered, "The medicine is so bitter, of course it's not as delicious as white noodles." ”
Both are not the same thing, how can they be compared.
"Oh, you don't understand," Jin Duoduo shook his head and explained, "Eating more white noodles is better, and if you are well, you will get sick less, so will you save money on medicine?"
Instead of working hard to save money to buy medicine, it is better to buy some good rice and good noodles to replenish the body.
It sounded fine, but He Xiaoshan was speechless.
He Xiaoting has something to refute, but think about her greed for white flour dumplings, it's good to have someone to help persuade (flicker) the eldest brother.
So, the brother and sister bought ten catties of white noodles, ten catties of rice, five catties of mung beans and fifty catties of bud grain noodles in the Jinji grocery store, as well as coarse salt, dried chilies, maltose and other odd things.
After a purchase, half a tael of silver was spent.
He Xiaoshan's heart twitched in pain, "Sanya, let's go back quickly." ”
"No," He Xiaoting said seriously, "I still have to go to Buzhuang to have a look." ”
He Xiaoshan was shocked, he bought rice noodles and wanted to buy cloth, why was Sanya so loser?
