Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 111

Twenty portions of fruit were sold for a total of ten pennies, and Wen Shu squinted his eyes while carrying the heavy burden on his back.

It was the first time she had earned so much money, and she was really excited.

He stroked the burden with his hand for a long time, until he was out of everyone's sight, then he found a place where no one was around, called up the visual panel and put all the copper coins in it.

After finishing all this, she didn't go back home, but went shopping briskly.

With the storage basket, and earning the money back, the set of guys who put in the iron box should also buy another set.Otherwise, it would be bad if we encountered yesterday's situation again.

Immediately, I asked passers-by and went to the largest blacksmith shop in the city, Zhou Ji.

It may be that it is located at the border. In addition to common farm tools and kitchen utensils, the blacksmith shop here also has many self-defense swords and crossbows.As soon as Wen Shu entered the door, he was dazzled by the iron products all over the wall.

"What do you want to buy, little lady, do you want me to introduce it to you?" A waiter came up to ask enthusiastically.

"There is an ax in the shop, what's the selling price?"

Hearing this, a look of surprise flashed across the buddy's face, as if he couldn't figure out why such a delicate and weak lady bought an axe.But in line with the purpose of a businessman, he didn't ask any more questions, and led her to the counter where the axes were placed.

"I don't know how big the little lady is?" He asked, pointing to a row of axes of different sizes in the kitchen cabinet.

Wen Shu looked it over carefully, and then pointed to someone who was similar to her family and asked, "Just the one from CUHK, how much is it?"

"Young lady's family is a carpenter. She has good eyesight. Although this ax is not big, it is the most handy. The iron plate on the front is also made of sufficient material, which is most suitable for cutting wood. It costs 350 ren per handle."

Wen Shu, who was planning to haggle, was stunned when he heard the price quoted by the man.

Three hundred and fifty?

Ironware in Cangzhou is so cheap!If this ax is placed in Bianjing, the price will definitely not be lower than five hundred coins.

I think her father bought it from an acquaintance at the beginning, and they all went to 520 Wen.

However, in the end is used to saving, bargaining has become a subconscious behavior.Wen Shu squinted his eyes a little, and said in a predicament: "Can you have less, I want to buy something else."

Hearing this, the smile on the man's face deepened, "After a thousand cash, you can wipe some change. The little lady wants to see the plane, please come with me."

He thought that Wen Shu's family was a carpenter, so he wanted to introduce some carpenter's belongings.

Unexpectedly, Wen Shu pointed to the side where the knives were placed and said, "I want to see the kitchen knives."

"Oh, yes, yes, please follow me." The man was stunned for a moment, and then led her to look at the knife.

Wen Shu made a selection, and finally picked a sharp knife for picking bones and a knife for cutting vegetables.The price of the two knives is around 78 Wen, the sharp knife is slightly more expensive at 65 Wen, but the cutting knife is only [-] Wen.

After choosing the knife, she lingered on the bow and arrow hanging on the wall for a while.Just when the clerk looked suspicious and felt that what she bought was irrelevant, he looked back regretfully.

Forget it, she doesn't know how to use this, and buying it will only take up space.

However, the ironware here is cheap, so you still have to buy what you should buy.

Especially that ax is much cheaper than Bianjing.After thinking about it, she immediately bought two handles, one for personal use and the other for storage.In case her father's ax breaks one day, it can still be used.

Two axes and two kitchen knives add up to 840 coins.According to what he said in advance, the clerk gave her a change, and the total amount was [-] Wen.

After buying axes and knives, I almost ran out of change.Wen Shu had no choice but to find another place where no one was around, throw the things he just bought into the storage basket, and take out two coins from it by the way.

With the money in hand, she walked briskly to the grocery store.

In order to avoid detours and buy everything at once, she asked someone again and went to Wang Ji, a grocery store on Zhengda Street.

Wangji Grocery Store has been in Cangzhou for decades. After several generations of operation, it now occupies three stores just for the facade, and it has all kinds of daily necessities inside.

A stack of linen bags were placed at the entrance, each of which could hold seventy catties of rice noodles.Wen Shu saw it at a glance. In order to pack more fruits in the future, she proudly picked up ten of them.

After taking the bag, she turned her eyes to the clay pot on the right.Thinking of the rare "divine water" and the sap that can tame horses, he chose ten more stoneware pots.Each clay pot can hold about three or four catties of rice noodles.

The store clerk saw this posture and knew that she was a big customer, so he asked her what she wanted in a busy and enthusiastic manner.

Wen Shu asked him if he had a net bag for fishing.

"Yes, yes, our Wang Ji has the most complete range of goods in Cangzhou." The clerk pointed to a corner of the shop proudly and said, "Here, there are fish pockets and nets in that corner, young ladies can go and see. Look."

Following the direction of his fingers, Wen Shu walked over and squatted down to carefully select, and finally took a small net and a small fish bag with a wooden handle.

The fish was bought, and the wooden barrels for the fish were naturally indispensable.Then she put in some miscellaneous things, such as small porcelain bottles for medicine, hemp ropes for binding things, fire pockets and so on.

After the last pass, the price has already exceeded two guan.

Wen Shu, who only had two pennies and ten Wen on her body, used her bargaining skills again, boasting the shopkeeper and the whole shop from the inside out like honey.

The shopkeeper couldn't stand the offensive of "sweet words", and finally willingly wiped her a fraction of 170 Wen, and also gave her a sewing basket.

With so many things piled up together, an ordinary woman couldn't handle them, so the shopkeeper asked a man to push the cart to take her home.

Wen Shu hurriedly stopped him, only saying that he was strong enough to push.Then he said that the store was busy, and asked them to just greet other customers. She would return the cart after she finished unloading.

The shopkeeper had a good impression of her because of the "sweet talk" just now.In addition, she bought so many things at once, and she would not look greedy for a car, so she nodded in agreement.

The man helped to pile things into the car, and Wen Shu happily pushed the car away.

Wandering around on the main street for about a cup of tea, crossing a side street, and bypassing two alleys, she finally stopped in front of a dilapidated thatched cottage.

Seeing that there was no one around, she quickly pushed the car into the room.Then he closed the door with a few small holes and tied it from the inside, and then put the things on the cart into the storage basket one by one.

Because Xiaoxing said that the storage basket currently only has ten boxes, if all of them are occupied, then unless the existing items are removed, no new items can be brought in.

Now the first four boxes are full, one holds the Menghuai beast, the other holds the cypress fruit, the other holds the newly bought clothes, and the third holds the newly bought ax and knives.

In order to save space, she first took out the ax and the kitchen knife and put them together with the hemp rope in a coarse cloth pocket, and then put them back in.In this way, so many things only occupy one box.

Next, she put the fish bag and net into the barrel, and the clay pot was also full of small medicine bottles.Finally, I put some miscellaneous things and sewing baskets into another bag and put them away.

When everything is installed, seven of the ten frames have been filled.

At this time, the sun had begun to set to the west, and Wen Shu returned the cart to the grocery store, and Wen Shu leisurely returned to Li's residence.

　Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket.
