Chapter 12 An Jia
The middle-aged man turned blue with anger, but Nalan Jing had already walked back to his booth with an unusually calm face.

But the middle-aged man didn't dare to bother her at all. He scolded his rooster for breaking his leg, maybe he was not convinced, but he could even tell when the rooster broke his leg, so it was not a good thing.

The booth in front of the middle-aged man was originally quite lively, but no one came to ask the price for a long time, so he could only curse inwardly, and left holding the big rooster that looked like a baby.

Seeing him leaving in a desperate manner, the others immediately felt a sense of crisis, and automatically stayed away from Nalanjing, not daring to say a single word that was harsh.

About a quarter of an hour later, Rong Qiancai and the young master came out of the restaurant. The joy on their faces showed that they had won the fight.

Brother Gongzi is a man of faith, and he has already rewarded Rong Qian with a tael of silver. Now, seeing those pheasants, he loves them more and more. He spent two taels of silver to buy two and go back to make soup.

Rong Qian's mouth, which was still trying to fool you, cracked to the base of his ears, and he flattered for a while, and after sending the person away, he threw the remaining pheasant into the back basket, and slipped away with Nalanjing.

After the trip, Nalan Jing had four taels of silver in his hand, and Rong Qian had one tael of silver in his hand. The two of them went straight to the blacksmith shop without looking for the market again.

Nalanjing first picked out an iron pot and shovel, and asked the blacksmith for the price.

The craftsmen are more honest, and they don't ask for extravagant prices. The iron pot is [-] renminbi, and the shovel is [-] renminbi.

Nalanjing was not in a hurry to bargain, and walked aside to pick up a kitchen knife, sickle, and a hoe.

The blacksmith explained all the prices. The kitchen knife was 740 renminbi, the sickle 730 renminbi, and the hoe [-] renminbi. Adding the iron pot and shovel, the total was [-] renminbi. She was charged [-] and [-] renminbi, which was [-] renminbi less.

Southern Chu State is rich in iron ore, the price of ironware is not high, what is expensive is the craftsmanship, Nalanjing no longer haggled the price, and gave him a tael of silver.

After the blacksmith bit the silver, he weighed the weight of the silver and found her 260 five Wen.
Nalanjing told the blacksmith to come back to pick up things later, and went to the clothing store with Rong Qian, hoping to buy two sets of changeable clothes for everyone in the family. Their current clothes were too tattered to wear.

As a result, the price was asked, and the price was ridiculously high.

The proprietress looked at the surprise on her face, and explained from the side: "The material that my lady likes is Shu brocade, and the price is naturally a bit more expensive. If you don't think it's suitable, you can look at the kudzu cloth here, the price is cheap Quite a few."

Gebu is also a coarse cloth, which is much inferior to the soft Shu brocade material, and the price is several times lower, 25 Wen for an adult man, [-] Wen for a woman, and [-] Wen for a child.

Nalan Jing still had three taels and 260 five cash in his hand, and bought two sets of clothes for each of them, which cost 350 cash, leaving two taels and 910 five cash.

The proprietress quoted the real price, and seeing that she didn't counter-offer, she couldn't help but send her some extra needles, thread and hair.

Nalanjing accepted it bluntly, and took the wrapped clothes out of the tailor shop.

When Nalan Jing entered the clothing store, Rong Qian did not enter.

There were still three wild pheasants in the basket, so he simply carried them and went to a restaurant not far away to try his luck, and finally sold each of them for [-] Wen.

This price is a huge difference compared to the one or two offered by Brother Gongzi, but it is the real price on the market, and it is a few cents higher because the wild pheasant is alive.

When he came out after selling the pheasants, he happened to meet Nalan Jing who was looking for him, and gave her the copper coins in his hand.

After Nalanjing collected the money, the two people asked for directions and went to the market. They bought a bag of fine salt, [-] catties of fine rice, [-] catties of flour, [-] eggs, and [-] catties of fatty meat for refining oil. , three catties of pork belly, and a few cheap bones, wooden buckets, pans, bowls and chopsticks cost more than two taels of silver, and Nalan Jing only had one tael of silver left in his hand.

Rong Qian looked at those things, although his flesh hurts, he still took out the one tael of silver on his body and gave it to Nalanjing.

But Nalan Jing didn't answer: "I've bought everything, you keep this tael of silver with you, and you can take it out when you need it."

Rong Qian cracked his ears, put the money back, and said: "Then sister-in-law needs it, you can tell me, I will definitely not spend it carelessly."

There were a lot of things to buy, and Rong Qian’s back basket was full. In the end, he held a hoe in his hand and a wooden barrel in the other. There were a lot of things in the wooden barrel, which was full. Clothes, the two walked back to Zhangmu Village.

When passing by the village chief's house, Nalanjing asked Rong Qian to go back first, and she gave Li Zheng five hundred Wen to pay off the rent debt.

In this way, she only had five hundred Wen left in her hand.

This money is really worthless.

Li Zheng didn't see Rong Qian, but saw the clothes Nalan Jing was holding, and looked at the five hundred Wen coins that he returned to him in his hand, knowing that Miss Rong is a person who understands righteousness.

With a kind smile on his face, he went back to the house and returned the IOU to her.

As if after careful consideration, Li Zheng said: "Miss Rong, do you have any plans to farm?"

Nalanjing looked at Lizheng in surprise, but he didn't expect that he would take the initiative to mention that the fields in the village are divided according to the head, and outsiders like them can't get it.

Seeming to see Nalanjing's surprise, Li Zheng hurriedly said: "Actually, there is no land in the village. Miss Rong has the idea of ​​farming, and she can open up wasteland by herself. There are thousands of acres of wasteland over there. How much can you open up?" , it’s all yours, I can open a land deed for you, but you have to hand over the food to the imperial court.”

Nalanjing's eyes lit up, he didn't expect such a good thing, so he nodded quickly in response.

Li Zheng should have come here to help her because of today's incident.

Helping a dystocia cow give birth smoothly, not only earned two taels of silver, but also opened up wasteland and farmland in the village. It seems that she will have to treat more diseases in the future, the more the better.

Li was looking at the joy on her face, and felt more and more pitiful for her in his heart.

There is no food to be grown in the wasteland, and sweet potatoes are grown on the top of the land. It's not that he doesn't want to help, but the fields in the village have owners. If you want good land, you need to spend money to buy it. Miss Rong certainly doesn't have the money to buy the land.

After Nalanjing and Lizheng said goodbye, they returned home with their clothes in their arms. They had been thinking about opening up wasteland and farming the land along the way. As long as the land was planted, the whole family would no longer worry about being hungry.

At this time, the yard was full of laughter, Rong Qian took out the things he bought one by one, and everyone cheered and was very pleasantly surprised.

They didn't compare their once rich life with the current poverty and complain and feel discouraged. Instead, they were content and happy, and a little bit of beauty could make them very happy.

Nalanjing approached the yard, couldn't help but smile on his face, hugged his clothes, and said in a raised voice, "Come and see, what is in sister-in-law's hand..."
