Dressed as the heroine of the farming novel and the best relative

Chapter 17 Gao Yun’s Friend
But when he looked back, he saw the close and affectionate atmosphere between the two couples. He didn't want to break it, so he sighed, looked away, flicked his whip, and the ox cart accelerated towards the town.

to town.

Gao Yun jumped down from the bullock cart first, still holding the heavy book box in his hand. Xiang Xi was feeling a little uncomfortable due to the jolt. He was holding Goldman down when he heard the sound and looked over lazily and asked doubtfully, "Three Brother, are you getting off the bullock cart now? Why don’t you go directly to school?”

"Sister-in-law, I made an appointment with my classmate to wait here." Gao Yun scratched his hair, "My classmate is from a poor family and doesn't have a bullock cart. He has to walk from a mountain village quite far away. It will probably be very tiring. I just happened to be here for a while. I helped him carry the book box back to school, but I never told him about my family conditions."

Xiang Xi really didn't expect Gao Yun to have such a temperament to take care of other people's self-esteem, so she looked at him a little condescendingly and said, "Don't you dislike people being poor?"

"How come, Yun Zhi is very knowledgeable. He gets No. 1 every time in the school. He also has a good temper and works hard. He just doesn't like to associate with rich people. He says they are too frivolous. I, I I'm also afraid that the other party will dislike me." Gao Yun pursed his lips, feeling a little embarrassed.

After hearing this, Xiang Xi nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, but since you want to be friends with him, I suggest you tell the truth and take the initiative to confess your family's situation. Besides, our family is not rich now. I believe you." Tell him what you think, and then take the initiative to apologize, and he will forgive you. If he doesn't forgive you, the other person will know your family background sooner or later. The longer you keep it secret, the more angry you will be, but the result will still be the same. .”

Gao Yun blushed, a little ashamed, and a little anxious, "Sister-in-law, I...I didn't mean it."

"I, when I see Yun Zhi today, I will confess to him. I really shouldn't hide it from him. I have been worried about his anger before, but you are right, sister-in-law. I will do business in the future, so I might as well confess it honestly now." Gao Yun gritted his teeth, obviously making a decision in his heart.

"Come up then. We will take you to the academy first. You put the book box away and then wait for him at the entrance of the town. If you have nothing to do, you can help when you are free."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Gao Yun did not refuse, and soon Gao Dad drove the ox cart and sent Gao Yun in.

After Gao Yun left.

Dad Gao drove the ox cart to a row of streets in the town where stalls were allowed. He parked the ox cart behind him, and Gao Sachs went to the tea shop next door to bring a bucket of water over and feed it to the cows.

Dad Gao took out the cupping ceramic jars, silver needles, tung oil, etc. and placed them with a canvas next to them.

"Lao Gao, you finally came to set up a stall. I've been waiting for you for several days. I thought you wouldn't come." A regular customer, the owner of a silk shop, came over and sat down happily, "Hey, it's a good day today." Well, I’m the first, so there’s no need to arrange the pieces.”

"I was injured when I went to pick up tung seeds in the mountains recently. I nursed them at home for several days, so I was delayed..." The taciturn old man actually started gossiping with the guests in a serious manner.

"Are you injured? Where are you injured..."

When Xiang Xi saw this scene, he found it very interesting and whispered to Goldman Sachs next to him, "Dad actually knows how to gossip. I really can't tell."

"Dad said that in order to do business, you need to be good at talking to attract customers, so he did this. In fact, dad is not a talkative person." Goldman explained.

Isn't this contrasting cuteness?

Xiang Xi covered her mouth and snickered. Seeing that there were already many people lined up in front of Gao Gao, and there was no way she could help, Xiang Xi simply took Gao Sachs to the bookstore to buy paper, ink, pens and inkstones.

The two of them said something to Dad Gao and left.

The two of them walked into the bookstore. The shopkeeper was also there. He raised his head and asked, "What do you two guests want to buy?"

"Get a set of paper, ink, pen and inkstone, but the best one will be fine." Xiang Xi knew that this was the only bookstore in the town with a good reputation, so he didn't choose any more, and stated his needs openly.The bookstore owner didn't mind it either, and picked out everything she wanted, "These are what you want, guest. You can take a look first. The writing brush is fifteen cents each. This is the most common rough paper, used for practicing." The most suitable calligraphy is six hundred characters for a sword, two hundred characters for an inkstone, and 150 characters for an ink stick. Although they are the worst, they are enough for farm use. If you take more care of them, they will last longer."

"Thank you, shopkeeper." Xiang Xi heard the price and thought, no wonder studying is expensive. This is still the worst, it cost her 980 yuan, not to mention the most expensive, which costs dozens of taels of silver. The key depends on the amount, the most It can only be used for two months.

Xiang Xi took a tael of silver to pay.

The shopkeeper asked, "Do you still need to buy children's enlightenment books?"

Upon hearing this, Xiang Xi knew that he had misunderstood, thinking that she and Goldman Sachs were here to buy it for their children. Goldman Sachs was stunned for a moment, and his ears were a little red.

"Shopkeeper, no need. I still have an old book at home. Come back if you need it in the future." Xiang Xi explained with a smile. The shopkeeper nodded, "Then I will help you wrap your things."

The shopkeeper still wrapped it well with oil paper cloth, so even if it rains or snows, it won't get wet.

After coming out of the bookstore, Xiang Xi suddenly heard the voice of the system in his mind, "If valuable items are detected, they can be sent to the system bag to review the value."

Xiang Xi thought that the only things she had touched so far were oil paper cloth and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone she just bought. She asked Goldman curiously, "Goldman Sachs, what is the oil paper cloth made of?"

"It's made of cotton cloth, and then a layer of cooked tung oil is applied to the face."

"What about the brush?"

"The barrel of the pen is the small green bamboo in the back mountain, and the tip of the pen should be pig hair or rabbit hair."

"What about the inkstone?"

Goldman paused, "I'm not sure. I heard that there are dozens of materials such as pine flower stone, jade stone, chrysanthemum stone, and Duan stone. The ordinary ones should be ordinary stones."

Xiang Xi knew that the ink block was made of coal smoke, pine smoke, glue and other materials. She said casually, "Let's go back to the back mountain to find some raw materials to see if we can make it ourselves, so we don't have to do it again." I bought it with money.”

This is just an excuse. She actually wants to collect raw materials to redeem points in the system.

Goldman Sachs thought she thought paper, ink, pens and inkstones were too expensive, so he didn't stop her and just said yes.

"Let's buy some more meat and flour."

Xiang Xi wanted to eat meat pie, the fried kind, which was crispy and full of meat flavor. She just walked along and didn't see any such meat pie for sale. The only ones were selling pot cakes, or else they were selling steamed buns.

The two of them went to buy meat. Xiang Xi wanted fat and thin meat, which was cheaper than fat meat. After all, fat meat could be fried in lard and stir-fried.

Thinking that Liu Yuanyuan would definitely use oil to make soap, she could imagine that the price of fat would increase again in the future, but this was all in the future, so she didn't worry.
