carry a door with you

Chapter 13 Mid-Autumn Festival!

"There are 453 cash left, and the 400 is kept by the elder brother. You don't need to save too much on daily expenses. I will give my mother and eldest sister a dozen or twenty cash every day when I come back, and I will add it slowly. Let them know that the family has income every day, so they can feel at ease. .”

Cao Xin gave most of his wealth to his elder brother.

"My big brother—"

Cao Ren received the money, his face turned pale.

"Brother! Don't overthink it!"

"If I earned this money outside, you'd be embarrassed to take it and talk about it. But how I got the money, brother knows best——"

Cao Xin flipped his little hand over to his elder brother.

The eldest brother uses his younger brother's money to support the family and spend, and he still spends his eight-year-old brother's money. Under normal circumstances, he is naturally embarrassed.

But what happened to Cao Xin?
He can 'create something out of nothing', and he has 'something in his sleeve'.

This is a fairy method!

Cao Ren is the big brother, what's the matter with getting some light? !

"Snapped!"

"It's my brother's mistake!"

"The ancients also said that if one person attains the Tao, chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven."

"I can be regarded as being honored by our little fairy."

Cao Ren slapped his forehead and turned the corner, and couldn't help laughing when he thought about what he had just thought.

The world is wide in one thought.

He took the money generously.

The two brothers talked and laughed, and rushed home.

Cao Xin's main task of buying chickens today was fulfilled as he wished, and the Wuguan also went to see it, and bought 350 catties of reserve grain to store in the original fairyland.

The iron ball also placed an order, just waiting to pick it up.

For most of the day, I did a lot of things.

However, due to the lack of money, Cao Xin still had a lot of things he wanted to buy but did not buy.

For example, cast iron farm tools such as sickles, hoes, shovels, and guillotines, as well as bamboo farm tools such as poles, baskets, dustpans, brooms, and baskets.

These are not bought for home use, but placed in the original fairyland, where they can be used for plowing and hoeing, so they are prepared.

If money is in hand, you can buy three or five sets and put them in the original fairyland, which is not too much.

More than these.

There are also woodworking utensils such as axes, saws, planers, files, chisels, rulers, ink fountains, and sandpaper. They may not look like many, but each has a lot of styles.

Like a plane——

Joint planer, flat planer, double planer, net planer, various clear planers, large line planer, small line planer, small planer, convex planer, various cutting planers, double line planer, single line planer, notch planer, Single slot planer, clear slot planer, double slot planer, various wire planers.

There are dozens of subdivisions with just one plane.

Others include saws, chisels, etc., long, short, large, small, round, flat, square, and so many other types that the layman cannot count them.

It is not easy to put together a complete set, and it costs a lot of money.

Once assembled, it's a family heirloom, a carpenter's life.

There are many trees in the original fairyland, and sooner or later they have to cut down a lot.For such carpenter's tools, it is best for Cao Xin to prepare three or five sets of them, which is also a huge expense.

In addition——

Pots and pans, kitchen knives and shovels, large and small spoons, chopping board steamer, bottles and cans, large and small vats...

Too much too much!

Bits and pieces!

This is not counting furniture and household items such as tables, chairs, benches, beds, bedding and pillows.

But if you want to be able to hide in the "prime fairyland" under extreme circumstances and be self-sufficient, it is best to have all these daily necessities, large and small, or even prepare several sets.

Cao Xin made a list of these things, but it was obviously difficult to complete them in a short time.

Money is one aspect.

There are too many types on the one hand.

Gotta take it slow.

……

"The world suffers from gnats, but there are no gnats in Du Ma Xing Street in Western Province. Those who live on Ma Xing Street are the places where Xijing night market and restaurants are very prosperous. Gnats are evil, and Ma Xing people are noisy, and the lights shine on the sky, so let's stop at three o'clock. , so we will never get rid of gnats.”

……

The origin of the name "Maxing Market" is unknown, but there is no doubt that this is the most prosperous place in the entire Xijing City and even the entire Daliang.

In modern times, it may be called a 'commercial street'.

This street is winding and winding, connecting the small half of the northern city. Entering from the four city gates in the north, you can go straight to the street, all the way to the imperial city.

As night falls, the lights are bright.

Lanterns are hung in front of the shops along the street, and with the lighting facilities built by the government, the Maxing Market, which stretches for more than [-] miles, is illuminated like daytime.

The atmosphere immediately heated up.

“A lot of delicious food!”

Cao Xian is wearing new clothes today, looking left and right with his eyes, he can't see it!

The roadside stalls are a sight to behold. Rotary fried lamb sausage, dried bream, frozen fish head, ginger bean, mozang, red shredded, batch-cut sheep's head, spicy ginger, spicy radish, all kinds of snacks make people drool .

There are also cool foods in summer, such as hemp tofu, chicken skin mochi drink, fine powder vegetarian sticks, sugar ice cold balls, crystal soap, raw pickled water papaya, medicinal papaya, chicken head rice, sugar mung bean licorice ice cold water , lychee paste, mustard melons, pickles, apricot slices, plum ginger, lettuce, bamboo shoots, mustard, spicy melons, fine-grained scorpions, fragrant candy seeds, candied lychees, yuemei, perilla paste, gold Some silk party plums and fragrant orange pills are sold loosely, and some are packed in plum red boxes for sale.

"Sister, eat this."

Cao Xin bought a serving of shatang ice and snow cold balls, and handed a box of Xiangtangzi to Cao Xian with a fawning expression on his face.

My sister is too angry, and I still remember the thing about making fun of her with lantern riddles in the morning, and I didn't talk to Cao Xin from the time I got home to when I came out.Cao Xin is generous as a younger brother, and buys snacks for Cao Xian out of his own pocket.

"Another waste of money!"

Cao Xian glared at Cao Xin, but he was honest in his hands. He took the shatang ice snow cold balls and the fragrant candy dumplings, first gave Cao Zhangshi and Cao Liang a bite, and then passed two pieces to the elder brother, and then hesitated for a while. , and stuffed another piece to Cao Xin, and then he ate it by himself with a smile.

Cao Xin looked funny.

here.

Little Cao Liang was eating delicious food, and he was also looking left and right, dazzled, and when he came to a restaurant, his eyes widened: "Look! Look! There are so many lanterns!"

Cao Xin looked up——

Hey!
Indeed a lot!

It is a big restaurant, five stories high, with a wooden frame outside, and five storeys of lanterns, more than a hundred.Each lantern is written with words, and each is a lantern riddle——

"Answer the riddles on the lower three floors correctly, and you can take away the corresponding lantern."

"Answer the fourth-floor lantern riddle correctly, and you can get a jar of craft brewing from my Tianjia restaurant."

"Answer the riddle on the fifth floor correctly, please enter the private room, and drink and eat as you like."

Guess the lantern riddles!
It's an old tradition!

Cao Xin took a look and found that the fourth and fifth floors were indeed much more difficult than the lower three, and he couldn't answer many of them.

But the lower three floors are much simpler.

"Small feet, tall legs. Wear a red hat and a white robe. Guess an animal."

"This is the 'red-crowned crane'."

"It won't work if you enter the water, just guess the word."

"Yan."

Cao Xin pushed Cao Xian and Cao Liang, Cao Xian blushed and answered one question correctly, Cao Liang shouted a broken voice and answered one question correctly.

The family prostituted two lanterns for nothing, and they were so happy from ear to ear.

This kind of small limelight does not attract people's envy, but also makes the family happy, Cao Xin is happy to do it.

Although the rewards for the lantern riddles on the fourth and fifth floors are more lucrative, many people know that they are for scholars. If their family can answer one question correctly, the scene will definitely not be a good one.

Cao Xin was not greedy for this cheap thing, so he took two lanterns and left, contented and happy.

"so big!"

"It's so bright!"

Cao Xian and Cao Liang were very excited holding the lanterns.

Cao Zhang is also laughing.

Eldest brother Cao Ren pulled Cao Xin and whispered: "Little Wu, you are so smart, why don't you go to school and become an official in the future."

After ten years of cold windows, no one asked, and became famous all over the world in one fell swoop!

In this era, studying and being an official have always been the most respectable and promising.

Cao Ren felt that with his younger brother's intelligence, it might not be impossible for him to pass the Jinshi examination and honor his ancestors.

but--

"never mind!"

"I can't pass the exam."

Cao Xin shook his head.

Reading and imperial examinations are far from as simple as imagined, and the ten-year cold window is not empty talk, not what he wanted.Moreover, as soon as he entered the officialdom, he was shackled by a layer of shackles. It was too aggrieved to move around within the rules of these people.

The song is flattering.

Officials crushed people to death.

This is not what Cao Xin wants.

Instead of taking the imperial examinations, becoming an official, and running a dog, it is better to practice martial arts to strengthen your body, live freely, and live a long life.

With the help of the 'Bronze Immortal Gate', maybe he can become a Taoist from martial arts, and become immortal from Fan Dengxian, and he will live forever.

"Not reading?"

"Then what do you want to do in the future?"

Cao Ren felt it was a pity.

"Practice martial arts."

"Study medicine."

Cao has a plan in his heart.
