Chapter 51: Buy enough materials and return home

The next destination is the money box. It would be too ostentatious to carry so many copper coins back to the small fishing village, so it is better to save them.

I just walked through the town and attracted a lot of attention.

When it comes to shopping, there is nothing to buy. The market is not open, and daily commerce in the town is not prosperous.

What's more, after signing the contract with Liang Duliu in two days, the money will probably be gone.

Datang's cash box only has the function of depositing and withdrawing money, that is, you can pick it up at the store where you deposited it.It was not until the Song Dynasty that flying money appeared, and withdrawals from other places were realized, and the prototype of a bank took shape.

Today's money chests not only have the function of depositing and withdrawing money, but also charge storage fees, which are not like the interest rates of later generations.

But Su Qingqing still walked into the cash box, completed the deposit procedures, and received a Datang cash box deposit slip.

There is no way, it is inconvenient to hold copper coins.

She looked at the deposit slip in her hand and thought that if she could take it with her through time and space, then the piece of paper in her hand would be valuable. It would be an antique valuable for research!

After the bulk was saved, there were only seven or eight pieces of silk left. The sack suddenly became empty. The wheels without the rubber tires wrapped in them made the traces on the ground lighter.

After coming out of the cash box, Su Qingqing went straight to the pharmacy.

Now she needs to buy soda stone, limestone, and thenardite for making alkali, as well as ginger and asarum for making toothpaste. As for mulberry branches, she doesn't need to buy them, as they are abundant in the village.

There is also an old Chinese medicine doctor sitting in the medicine hall, checking someone's pulse.The man looked seriously ill.

These days, ordinary people have to endure common diseases.Only those who can't bear it will seek medical advice. Patients who go to the medicine hall will naturally be in serious condition.

Su Qingqing didn't look carefully. She walked to the medicine cabinet and explained to a young apprentice-looking person inside what she wanted to buy.

These are available in pharmacies. These days, if you want to buy chemical materials, you have to go to pharmacies and Taoist temples. Only Chinese medicine practitioners and Taoist priests have these things.

Traditional Chinese medicine is used to treat diseases, and Taoist priests naturally make elixirs.

Su Qingqing bought all the materials and turned around to leave.

The big green cow at the door was waiting obediently without a leash at all.

Su Qingqing walked to the bullock cart, put down the two sacks filled with silk that she had just carried in, jumped onto the bullock cart gently, reached out and patted the big green cow on the back, and said: "Niu Niu, let's go."

The big green ox then raised its front hooves and started dragging the cart.

After becoming wise, Daqingniu can adjust the direction by itself without Su Qingqing being able to drive the car, which is very worry-free.

The ingredients for making soap are all ready. She fried a lot of lard before, which is just right for making soap.

If you want to increase the fragrance and turn it into soap, you should add some spices.

But Su Qingqing just asked in the medicine hall that the spices were frighteningly expensive.She might as well just pick some wild flowers on the roadside and use the wild flowers to extract the fragrance.

Now in the spring of March, it is the time when mountain flowers are in full bloom, and there are many flowers all over the mountains and plains.

Not long after leaving the town, the official road was quite deserted, and no one could be seen in front or behind.

This is normal. Su Qingqing estimates that this official road extends so long because of Yaliao Villa. After all, there is the sea further ahead.

Ordinary villagers probably only set foot on the official road when going to the market, so naturally there is no one around.

There are no people, but the path is full of birds singing and the fragrance of flowers.

Su Qingqing simply lay on the bullock cart, covering her face with a curtain hat to block the dazzling sunlight, listening to the wind and birdsong in her ears, and smelling the fresh and natural air of the Tang Dynasty, which was very comfortable.Lingnan in spring is full of mountains and rivers, full of vitality and beautiful scenery everywhere.As long as you don't go into the smoky and inaccessible mountains, you won't be afraid of being attacked by miasma.

While she was enjoying the rare tranquility of the afternoon, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came to her ears.

If you have a horse, you will not be a commoner. The Tang Dynasty stipulates that only nobles can ride horses, and ordinary people and businessmen are not qualified.

But now it is the late Tang Dynasty, and businessmen have already relied on relying on officials.Not to mention the horses, all kinds of silks are swaggeringly worn on the body, who cares about the rules.

What's more, this is not the emperor's feet, but the remote Lingnan.

But no matter what, ordinary people will not be the ones who can afford horses.Horses in the Tang Dynasty were just like modern luxury cars. They were only for the rich and powerful, and ordinary people were not so lucky to own them.

Su Qingqing didn't intend to do anything when she heard the sound of horse hooves. The road was facing the sky, everyone went to one side, and no one cared about anyone else's interests.

But thinking so, Su Qingqing still reached out and quietly grasped the fire stick stuffed beside the sack, then pushed up the curtain a little higher, and observed the situation through the translucent gauze curtain hanging from the brim of the hat.

Soon, the sound of horse hooves got closer, and a slender and handsome figure came into view.

Su Qingqing slowly sat up, took off the curtain covering her face, looked up at Zheng Tian who was walking parallel to her ox cart, and asked, "Mr. Zheng, is something wrong?"

Zheng Tian smiled and said: "Qingqing, you don't have to be so outspoken. How many years older than you is I am named Tai Wen."

"Oh." Su Qingqing thought for a while and thought: Does he want me to call him by his cousin?

"By the way, thank you just now."

If Zheng Tian hadn't spoken, she would still be in trouble with those evil young men.

Although her power has been amplified a lot after the evolution of the time and space gate, she does not know martial arts. Who knows what her actual combat strength is.

Zheng Tian said casually: "It's just a trivial matter, it's not worth mentioning. What is Qingqing doing in town today? If there is anything Zheng can do, just ask."

Su Qingqing had medicine to cure rice blast, as well as more important high-yielding crops. These two alone were enough to make Zheng Tian look up to her and be willing to show her favor.

Although he has no official position now, he is confident that he will not be anonymous and trapped in this remote place for the rest of his life.

Even if he cannot enter the officialdom in the short term due to the suppression of the Niu Party, he can still fulfill his ambitions just by assisting his father.

Su Qingqing did need his help with something, but it wasn't about building a house.Building a house can be solved with money, so you don’t have to ask anyone.

What she wanted to ask him about was the bad boy. Knowing herself and the enemy, she asked: "Brother Taiwen, whose family is the husband who blocked the road today?"

Zheng Tian replied: "He belongs to the Chen family in Longzhou. He currently lives in Yaliao Villa. He is Chen Yan and Chen Wentong, the son of Chen Mingfu."

Su Qingqing frowned: "He is actually from Yaliao Villa? And he is also the son of the Ming Dynasty?"

trouble!

Su Qingqing checked the information and knew that Mingfu means the county magistrate. To the people, doesn't it mean current management?
Zheng Tian explained: "Ding You of Chen Ming Mansion did not recover after that."

The implication is that it is only polite to call him a statement.

But Su Qingqing still had a headache. Half of the people in the small fishing village where she lived depended on Yaliao Villa.

To the surrounding villages, Yaliu Villa is the landowner of the country gentry, representing rules and justice.

In ancient times, it was rare to deal with the county government. Most matters were handled by the village chief, clan chief, Li Zheng and the township Xian.
