Chapter 16 Can sugar cure diseases?

The shopkeeper happily had the vegetables weighed, and the total was 31 catties, 930 Wen. Xi'er asked him for a money bag, and put all the money collected in the front and the money collected in the back together.

The more than 2000 copper coins were very heavy, so she put the money in the basket, and after the shopkeeper checked the green onions and beans, she turned and left.

In order to get fresh dishes, the shopkeeper chased him out again.

"Little girl, remember to deliver food tomorrow"

"understood"

After leaving the restaurant, Xi'er took out the half pot of sugar and put it in the basket, then went to the grocery store and bought a wooden stick for three Wen.

Cut each wooden stick from the middle, then dig out a piece of malt candy, stir it while walking, and take a bite from time to time. At this time, the town is full of pedestrians walking by, which is very lively.

"Maltose, maltose, delicious maltose, delicious and inexpensive, not only invigorates the spleen and stomach, but also relieves cough and moistens lungs"

Anyway, she doesn't play on the beach, and doesn't want to pay taxes, so she can only walk, eat, and play while others think she is a child, just joking.

This trick is really good. Anyone who brings a child out will buy a stick for the child and let the child play while eating.

Don't underestimate this half pot of maltose, only a third of it has been sold out.

Touching my shriveled stomach, I didn't bother to eat when I came in the morning, and it was already screaming at this moment.

She doesn't like to eat on the side of the road, because the cars passing back and forth will bring up a lot of dust, so she went to the noodle shop she went to last time and ordered a bowl of shredded pork noodles.

Unexpectedly, the owner of the noodle seller recognized her, enthusiastically cooked the noodles for her, poured marinade, and brought them over.

"Little girl, are you selling sugar again?"

"Well, there's still a little sold out,"

"How about, I won't ask you for money here today, can you weigh some of your candy for me?"

"Okay, originally my candy was thirty cents a catty, and yours is ten cents a bowl, how about I give you half a catty?"

"You really know how to do business, then I will take advantage of it."

"Why are you being polite? It's not easy for everyone to do business. If you want to make some profit, you have to make some profit."

Xi'er took the pot out of the basket and put it on the table, opened the lid on it, then dug a large piece into the clean bowl he brought, this piece was only half a catty more or less, according to the naked eye, The happy boss hurriedly added a spoonful of gravy to her.

"Thank you"

"Thank you too"

"Haha, you little girl is so cute"

People who ate at the noodle restaurant asked, "Shopkeeper, what is that?"

"Sugar, can relieve cough and nourish the lungs, candy that invigorates the spleen and stomach. A customer bought it last time. It was very effective. I was busy at the time and didn't bother to buy it. I just bought some this time."

"Yo, sugar can also cure diseases."

Xi'er took a mouthful of noodles, and looked at the customer eating noodles with a smile.

"Of course, you haven't heard that there is diet therapy. You can also cure diseases if you pay attention to your diet."

"How many more do you have, give me one too"

Xi'er lifted the wooden cover and took a look, "There's still [-] wen of candy, not too much, do you want it all?"

"Okay, give it all to me"

"Then do you have a can?"

"The man shook his head"

Xi'er looked at her porcelain basin, there was a gap on the side.

"Then I'll give you this pot as well. You can see that my pot is clean, which shows that the sugar in my house is also very clean. If you want to buy it after eating, you can come to the town next time Find me, I often sell sugar here"

"Haha, ok, ok"

"If there are children in the family, you can also use a wooden stick to dig and stir to eat"

After Xi'er gave the pot of candy to that person, she demonstrated it to him on the spot, and everyone who was eating was stunned.

The shop owner asked her for two sticks, and performed on the spot, as happy as a child.

"Haha, it turns out that this candy can still be played like this. My son must be very happy. He can eat and play with it, and it is also good for the body. It's great, haha"

Xi'er returned to her seat, hurriedly ate the noodles, and finally sold out the candies.

It seems that the people here are quite quick to accept new things.

The bowl of noodles was quickly finished. She rubbed her stomach contentedly, sat down in the noodle bar to rest for a while, and then picked up the basket and greeted the boss.

"I wish you a prosperous business, I'm leaving, I'll come back next time"

"well,"

As soon as she left, all the customers in the room praised Xi'er, "This little girl has such a sweet mouth, what's so hard to sell like this?"

"Her sugar is really good. Just now I melted the sugar into a bowl of water, and there is no slag in it. It's really clean. If the product is not good, her mouth is not good no matter how sweet it is. Do you think that's the reason?"

"It's true"

Xi'er pursed her lips when she heard what they said at the door. She had more than two taels of silver in her hand, what should she buy?

There is no need to buy noodles at home, she has the space to grow them. As for rice, she doesn’t want to buy them either. See if there are any seeds in the grain store, buy some rice, and use the space to grow them yourself.

Nearly a hundred mu of land in the space is still vacant, so it can't be left idle, it has to be fully planted.

So she ran to the grain store, saw unhulled rice, bought two catties, saw red beans, mung beans, soybeans, bought two catties of the same, and was about to leave when she saw unhulled millet and sorghum , and each bought two catties.

No way, she urgently needs seeds now.

After buying it, people didn't pay attention, and it seemed to be thrown into the basket, but in fact, it was thrown into the space, and it was directly planted in the ground, and I took the time to water it, which is really hard work.

After buying these, I still have more than one or two taels of silver. I went to the embroidery shop to have a look, inquired about the price, and then I went to the blacksmith's shop.

There were finished iron wares there, and she made a summary after looking at them one by one.

You don't need to buy pots or anything for now, but you should buy one for self-defense anyway.

"Shopkeeper, how do you sell that bow?"

"Two taels of silver, bring your household registration, and you can buy it after registration"

"Do you still need a household registration?"

"Weapons need to be registered"

"What about the dagger and kitchen knife?"

"also"

Xi'er suddenly felt dizzy, "What about this set of knives?"

"No, that's for pedicures, take a tael of silver away"

"So expensive?"

"The iron utensils in my house are not expensive. If you don't believe me, you can inquire about them. They are very useful, but you can't use them for scratching wood or anything else. They can only be used for pedicures. Otherwise, it's easy to break your mouth."

"What about this firewood knife?"

"Household registration is also required. This is stipulated by the imperial court. I am afraid that it will be used to hurt people. Once you are killed after being registered in the register, you can search according to the register."

"Oh I got it"

She turned around and left the shop, thought for a while, and decided not to buy it. She turned around and used a knife to cut a wooden thorn for self-defense. For a person like her, anything can be used as a weapon, as long as people don't respect me. Even wooden thorns can kill the opponent.

Seeing that it was still early, she bought a few big buns and a pack of snacks for Mrs. Luo before heading back.

Put everything in the basket, which is not conspicuous at all. From the outside, the basket seems to be empty.

But when she passed by the village, she felt that something was wrong. The villagers didn't pay attention to her at all, and they would have pointed at her and talked about it.

It's really strange, when she walked to the door of the house, she was surprised to see that the courtyard door was open.

She suddenly had a bad idea, rushed into the courtyard and shouted loudly.

"Mother, mother,"

When she saw Mrs. Luo coming out of the main room, she rushed over and grabbed her by the shoulder, looking up, down, left, and right.

"Are you all right?"

Old lady Luo's eyes were red, obviously from crying, Xi'er looked at her worriedly.

When she saw Xi'er, tears immediately flowed down her cheeks, "Girl, something happened to your elder brother Ji Kang."

"What happened to him?"

"Well, I'm lying on our kang right now"

Xi'er frowned, and asked in puzzlement, "Why are you lying on our kang?"

"You come with me"
