I farmed and raised cubs in ancient times

Chapter 38 Beast, Buy the Four Treasures of the Study
"Get out! Who is in the same family as you, a bastard?" Old Zhangtou almost spat out a mouthful of old blood in anger.

Is he leading wolves into the house?
This Xu San was chosen by him himself.

The old Zhangtou regretted it at the moment.

This person is determined to destroy his whole family!
Old Zhangtou couldn't help thinking of what Ye Erlang said to him before, even Ye Erlang, a stupid gourd, could see it, why did he let this bastard continue to run rampant?
"Master, don't be angry, it will be over soon." As Xu San said, he went up to give Lao Zhang his back, but Lao Zhang held his breath in his chest, unable to move up or down, which made him uncomfortable.

He will definitely not agree to this marriage, and must find a solution once and for all, except for this rascal.

The old Zhangtou quickly rummaged in his mind for someone who could help.

But Ye Erlang, who left the house early, was completely unaware of all this.

He came out of the corner door with his bundle on his back and went straight to the fly shop.

"Is everything ready?" Jiang Zhi asked while unpacking Ye Erlang's bag and putting it in the basket.

"It's ready." Ye Erlang's burden turned into a basket and he carried it on his back, not feeling how heavy it was.

"Second brother, let's go to the cloth shop now, we can unload the things later." Ye Xiaomei said, pulling Ye Erlang's sleeve corner.

"Okay, it's not heavy, it's much lighter than the nephew in my sister-in-law's arms."

Ye Heng: Is the little uncle saying that he is heavy?

"Oh, Miss Ye's netting is even more beautiful than last time."

"Is Boss Jiang satisfied?" Jiang Zhi asked.

"Satisfied, satisfied, Miss Ye's skillful hands, and this brain, I don't know how many wonderful ideas? Wonderful, wonderful!" Boss Jiang's eyes did not leave the envelope at all.

Last time, he asked someone to sell the nets in Hangzhou, and they got a good price. This time, they are more exquisite than last time. They must be taken to Dongdu, and sold to those noble ladies, who can get a lot of money. .

Ye Xiaomei stood behind Jiang Zhi with a slight smile on her lips.

This time she brought thirteen nets, all of which she made in a hurry day and night, with exquisite handwork.

According to the agreement in the contract, Ye Xiaomei received a net profit of 350 Wen this time.

Next month's Dragon Boat Festival, if she works hard, she should be able to collect the net profit of the usual money.

And the box of silk thread I brought back last time was not used up yet.

"The old man got a new box of silk threads and decorations here, and they have been registered and recorded. The two ladies will take them and send them over when they are ready."

"Okay, thank you, Boss Jiang, for your trust." Jiang Zhi nodded her head slightly.What Boss Jiang said about registering and making books is a means to prevent them from ignoring the materials.The next time you come to deliver a net, you must ask the younger sister to bring the leftovers together, and let the boss Jiang splice it together to see what is missing.

"After the Dragon Boat Festival, there will be a dragon boat race in the marsh river in this county. The two ladies must come early to get a good seat."

"Okay, look at my memory, thanks to Boss Jiang's reminder, I almost forgot about it." Jiang Zhi said with a smile.

The family left the cloth shop, and Jiang Zhi thought that the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching, and she needed to buy something for the Dragon Boat Festival.

Realgar was indispensable, so Jiang Zhi bought another bucket of glutinous rice and various dried fruits.

"Sister-in-law, shall we still buy brown sugar this time?"

"Buy, but the score is different in different stores, a small amount and many times."

After the discussion, Jiang Zhi allocated two pieces of money to Ye Erlang, asking him to go to the Chengnan sugar store to buy sugar.

Ye Xiaomei watched Ye Heng, while Jiang Zhi went to the north of the city to buy sugar.

There is also a family bookstore in the north of the city. Ye Xiaomei and Erlang want to study, pen, ink, paper and inkstone are indispensable.

I just don't know if she brought enough money today.

This thing is ridiculously expensive.

Jiang Zhi carried eight catties of brown sugar into Zhuoji Bookstore. There were various scrolls inside, and through the hollowed-out wooden window, she could see scholars copying books in the inner courtyard.

There was also the faint creaking sound of wooden instruments in my ears.

There is even a printing workshop inside.

In memory, movable type printing is widely used in Daning.This greatly accelerated the speed of book dissemination, and also gave more ordinary people the opportunity to read.

The emphasis on education in the Daning Dynasty was unmatched by previous dynasties.

Villages have village schools, counties have county schools, prefectures have state schools, and the central government also has Taixue and Guozijian.

Not to mention that scholars from all walks of life open private schools, various academies emerge in endlessly, and various great talents sit on the ground to give lectures.

The learning atmosphere is very strong.

Of course, this is only a perspective, a side, poor people are the majority.

In fact, pen, ink, paper and inkstone should be expensive or expensive, so many poor scholars rely on copying books for academic study.

"Is this lady looking for someone or buying something?" A young man with a hat stood behind the counter.

There are many scholars copying books in his bookstore, and some are busy printing books. The turnover of people is relatively large, and occasionally someone will come to find someone.

"Four Treasures of the Study, I wonder if the shopkeeper has any recommendations?" Jiang Zhi put the back basket in a corner.

"So it's for buying brushes and inks, my lady, please come down with me." The shopkeeper led Jiang Zhi to another room, where there were all kinds of papers, brushes, inkstones and blocks of ink.

"I don't know how the lady's budget is? Do you want a complete set?"

"I need a more durable brush for writing large characters. May I ask the store, how do you calculate the price of paper and the like?"

The shopkeeper glanced at Jiang Zhi's attire, saw that she was wearing coarse linen, and knew that she was not rich, so he went straight to the low-price area,

"How old is the lady buying these for use?"

"Children, one is three years old, and the other two are about 12 years old." Jiang Zhi replied.

"Babies' hands are soft and weak, so they are not suitable for using large brushes. Here are just a few kinds of pens that are suitable for dolls." The shopkeeper pointed a ruler at the pens hanging on the shelf, and said, "These are brush pens. It is suitable for writing large characters in regular script, especially this white cloud, but if you are a beginner, it is more suitable to use Jianmai, Jianmai is moderately elastic, with a combination of hardness and softness, easy for beginners to learn calligraphy, but Yanghao is too soft after all."

Jiang Zhi asked again: "Are there any sets of sizes?"

"If the lady wants to buy a complete set, I can match it for the lady." The shopkeeper is a person who knows how to read and understand etiquette. He didn't get impatient because of Jiang Zhi's many questions. Instead, he tried his best to introduce Jiang Zhi.

In the end, Jiang Zhi bought two sets of eight writing brushes in total for [-] yuan, including four inferior brushes as a gift from the shopkeeper. She asked the children to write and draw with water on the ground. write on.

As for the paper, it was even more expensive. A sheet of medium and low-grade paper was thirty cents, but Jiang Zhi only bought fifty sheets, which cost half a penny.

Fortunately, the ink was not too expensive, and it only cost five hundred cash to buy Songyan ink weighing one and a half catties.As for the inkstone, before Ye Dalang used a tile bowl, Jiang Zhi still bought a not-so-good but good-looking blue inkstone for [-] Wen.

"Excuse me, does the store have a map of our mountains and rivers in Daning for sale?"

"Ah? This... Daning expressly prohibits anyone from selling maps without permission, otherwise they will be charged with treason." After hearing Jiang Zhi's inquiry, the shopkeeper of the bookstore changed his eyes on her.
