The three children saw a stall selling candy on the street, and they couldn't walk.

Not cut sugar cubes, but a big lump, as big as a noodle basket, placed in a flat grating basket.Just like a big rice cake, you can cut as many as you want.

The cutting knife is extremely thin, wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, with a wooden handle on the top, so guests can cut wherever they point.

You need to use a hammer to hit the cutter on the handle to cut it. After cutting it, you can use a small scale to weigh it, ten cents a catty.

The three children held hands and looked around curiously.

Qiao Mingjin bought half a catty.Then he asked the man to cut it into small pieces, wrapped them with the big leaves he gave, and divided them into one piece for each of the three people, and put the rest in the bag.

The three children were very happy and did not bite. They held it in their mouths like a rare delicacy.

Especially Xiao Wan'er, who has a small mouth, and the candy is especially bulging.Qiao Mingjin was pulling her and poking her from time to time. The little thing was still smiling happily at her with his head up. Qiao Mingjin was both happy and sad.

After entering a grocery store, I picked left and right, and only spent [-] Wen to buy two larger casserole pots, one for cooking rice and the other for boiling water for drinking.Copper pots are too expensive to afford at present.The iron pot also cost fifty or sixty renminbi, so I didn't buy it.

According to Qiao Mingjin's idea, two iron pans are just right, one for cooking and the other for boiling water for washing.It's just that the iron pan is too expensive.

At the grocery store, I bought several earthenware bowls, several deep dishes, and two larger earthenware pots for soup and porridge.Bought some lamp oil wicks.I also bought some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

Seeing that she bought a lot, the shopkeeper gave her another bundle of chopsticks.Five pairs, saving five cents.

Qiao Mingjin thanked the boss again and again, and took the three children to the grain store to buy rice noodles.

Polished rice costs twelve pennies a catty, ordinary white rice costs ten pennies, and the broken rice is cheaper, only five pennies a catty.

Qiao Mingjin looked at it, and it was indeed very broken.There are still some unremoved rice bran in it, some polished rice and ordinary rice, all mixed together.

It must be the rice that was broken when the shell was removed by pressing.In this era, the machines for husking millet are still very backward, and broken rice is inevitable.

Qiao Mingjin didn't care either. The rice she ate now was very ordinary rice, and it was all mixed with sweet potatoes, and it didn't matter whether it was broken or not.She still can't afford to live a life where she eats good rice.

Then someone weighed ten catties.

The flour was also selected to be very ordinary, and the one weighing six cents a catty was also weighed ten catties.It took 110 Wen in the grain store.

The family has a total of 210 five Wen, and the income from selling firewood today is only 280 Wen.

All of a sudden, there is less than twenty Wen left in Baoli.I also want to leave ten cows of money for sister Xiu.

Qiao Mingjin was in a daze.The 65 Wen that I got from selling firewood that day hadn't been warmed up yet, so I went in with my left hand and out with my right.

Originally, I wanted to buy a piece of meat, and then I bought a piece of white meat to go back to blanching lard, but now I don’t want to think about it.

Qiao Mingjin sighed deeply in her heart.

After leaving the grain store with the three children, they headed towards the city gate.

Qiao Mingjin looked at the three children, and even Xiao Wan'er was carrying a small bag.She originally wanted to take a walk around the city and ask where anyone needed firewood.But seeing the three children with big and small bags, they gave up.

The three of them walked to the place where the ox carts were kept, and now there were not many carts in the entire carriage and horse farm.Most of the people who went to the market went back, and the people in the city also had their own places to leave their carriages and horses.

Qiao Mingjin put the things on the bullock cart, then carried the three children and sat on it. She took the bullwhip herself and was about to rush home.

As soon as the car took two steps, a man caught up behind him panting, stopped the bullock cart, and asked Qiao Mingjin which direction he was going.

Qiao Mingjin saw that he was four or fifty years old, strong and strong, with a beard on his face, wearing silk clothes, clear eyes, and he didn't look like a bad person, so he said the direction he wanted to go.

The man was overjoyed when he heard that.After panting for a while, he said, "That's great. You don't have to take a ride with you, my lady. I'm going to Songshanji. I want to send some bricks and tiles there. The ox cart I originally ordered had some accidents. This will make me anxious and angry, but I can't find a carriage, so I am willing to pay [-] Wen for the fare."

Qiao Mingjin glanced at him, then looked her up and down.She is a woman and child, and she doesn't know the details of the other party. Although she wants to earn thirty cents, but...

The man saw Qiao Mingjin's embarrassment, and assured her again and again that she just wanted to hire a car to do things, and she had no evil intentions.He has a shop in the city, and it has been open for more than ten years. If you don't believe me, follow him to have a look at Yunyun.

The old man who was in charge of the carriages and horses next to him also helped him testify, and some owners of ox carts in the field also nodded repeatedly, saying that he was a shop selling building materials on West Street, and he had opened it for many years. You can earn thirty cents, which is pretty good...

Qiao Mingjin saw someone testifying for him, and because of the thirty cents, he agreed.

Nowadays, the big money is the biggest in the world.

The man asked her to wait for a while, and within a moment, he saw him leading several people pushing several carts of bricks and tiles on a wheelbarrow.

Qiao Mingjin reserved a place for her family's things and three children to sit in the front, and helped him carry the things into the car.There are not many things, and if they are piled up, the man still has a place to sit.

After stacking, the man got into the car and delivered it himself.

Along the way, the man saw Xiao Wan'er's pleasing appearance, so he chatted with Qiao Mingjin and the others.

Knowing that they came to sell firewood, they sold it to that Zhou Mansion, and chatted with her about that Zhou Mansion.

It turned out that Zhou Mansion started out as a businessman, and it is considered a big family in Qingchuan County. I heard that the shop has opened in Beijing.

He also said that his surname was Ding, and he opened a building materials store in the city.There is a village on the Songshanji side that won a candidate in the autumn of last year. After the new year, they built a new house at home and ordered bricks and tiles from him. This day is the last trip.Unexpectedly, his cow fell ill today. After pulling a cart in the morning, he couldn't walk in the afternoon.

After hearing this, Qiao Mingjin said, "Then if you pass by this hour, I'm afraid you'll have to stay there at night. Why don't you ask other people to go, why don't you go in person?"

Boss Nading said: "This is the last trip, I have to go to pay the bill. The family is also related to me. My cow was looked at by someone and fed with medicine, but I was afraid that it would take a long time to raise it. Damn, I didn't want to delay until now. People from their village come to the city every morning, so it's not a problem to stay there for one night, and I have slept there before."

Qiao Mingjin nodded after hearing this, and concentrated on driving.

The man saw that Qiao Mingjin didn't look like an ordinary village woman, but seemed to have some knowledge, so he chatted with Qiao Mingjin all the way.

Knowing that Qiao Mingjin still wanted to do the business of selling firewood, he said, "every household in this Chai family needs it, but some shops and houses are delivered by regular people. When I return to the city tomorrow, I will ask you for you. Come to my shop after sending the firewood to the Zhou Mansion."

Qiao Mingjin was very happy to hear that, thanked him, chatted with him along the way, and asked about the county...

Arriving at Xujia Village near Songshanji, Qiao Mingjin drove an ox cart to the door of the house where the house was built.After helping to unload the bricks and tiles, I had to say goodbye.

The host thanked her, and seeing the three children Wan'er and Ming Qi in the car, all sitting sluggishly, they kindly gave them some pastries to take with them on the way.

Qiao Mingjin thanked the owner's family, took Boss Ding's [-] Wen money and went back to Hecun.

ps: Thanks to "Haiyan 123" for the reward, I went to work and came back late.
