Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 8 Go shopping with a huge sum of money
Not to mention how the two commented on Mu Ai, just say that Mu Ai just left the alley, and immediately waved away the cash box on the car, quietly observing whether there is anyone following behind, and let Er Niu try to choose the bustling avenue as much as possible, I found a high-end ready-made clothing store, dragged him in, bought two sets of clothes for a man and a woman, changed them separately, and threw a piece of silver to the young man, asking him to go to the car dealership to help hire a carriage to the back door, and agreed Drive the bullock cart to the south gate of the city tomorrow.Only then did he and Er Niu get into the carriage, and casually asked the coachman to find an inn on the back street and asked for two rooms.

After entering the room and drinking a few cups of tea, he rested for half an hour. Er Niu was still sweating coldly on his forehead. He has lived for almost 20 years. All the things he has experienced together are not as shocking as these few hours today. Heart.

Mu Ai lay on the window again and looked out quietly, it seemed that there was really no one suspicious, so she couldn't help scolding herself for being too timid.I'm afraid she really saved the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.Thinking of this, she straightened her waist and let out a long breath. It's better to be more careful, as a weak woman, she still has no strength to resist when she encounters bad guys.After this matter is over, in your spare time at night, you have to study the ring carefully to see if you can figure out any attack functions. When traveling, I bought a few long knives and anti-wolf electric batons, but the knives her I don't know how to use it, and there is no place to charge the electric baton here, so I have to think of other ways.

Turning his head to look at Er Niu with lingering fear, he guessed that he mistakenly thought that there was something wrong with the fragrant rice he sold to Boss Xiao.So he comforted him aloud, "Brother Li, don't worry, the fragrant rice I sold to Boss Xiao is real, and I didn't use illusion to deceive people, so they won't come to catch us. I'm hiding from people like this. Because we got so much money, we are on guard against malicious intentions. Now, you have changed into luxurious clothes, and I have changed back into women's clothes, and it is not easy to be recognized, so you can rest assured. I really want to thank you today That’s fine, I’ll cause you to follow me in fear.”

Er Niu has lived with his grandfather since he was a child, and most of the people he sees on weekdays are village women, shouting at children loudly, how can anyone talk to him in a soft voice like Mu Ai, which makes him feel very embarrassed. Hastily waved, "Mu, I'm not worried about you selling fake things, I'm just curious, how did you put that grain in the basket. Ah, Mu...Mu, you don't need to tell me, I know it's a secret , I... I really have no malicious intentions." The more Er Niu talked, the more confused he became, he was really afraid that Mu Ai might misunderstand him and have bad intentions.

Mu Ai saw that he was so anxious that beads of sweat were dripping from his head again, she smiled and took out the handkerchief and handed it to her. Today is the first time I have met and dealt with Er Niu. Apart from knowing that he is half of my savior, Grandma Li solemnly told her the night before that Er Niu is a trustworthy person.Now with his full cooperation, Mi has been successfully sold, and it can be seen that his character is indeed very good, and he can even be said to be the most honest person in the world.So, I don't mind him asking about this matter, just tell him the set of rhetoric that I told Grandma Li, and listen to him exclaiming and sighing, wanting to comfort myself but feeling very shy and embarrassed, I am very grateful She can meet such simple and kind people as Grandma Li and Er Niu.

His stomach gurgled a few times, and Mu Ai realized that he hadn't eaten yet, so he opened the door and called the waiter, ordered a few dishes, and started eating in the room. It's really not practical, and I'm not full.At this moment, I was relieved, so I let go of my belly and started to eat. Mu Ai picked up pork belly with chopsticks for him, "I also saved a lot of fragrant rice. I want Brother Li to come to Grandma Li's house often, and I will cook for him. You eat." Er Niu remembered the taste of the fragrant rice, of course he kept saying yes.

After the meal, Mu Ai reconfirmed that there was no suspicious person around the inn, and then told Er Niu a few words, and then went out for a stroll. After half an hour, Er Niu also came out, imitating what Mu Ai just taught "Experience", looked around carefully, and then went to buy things that the villagers begged him to buy for him.

It is the end of the time, the sun is so hot that there are many fewer people wandering on the street. Mu Ai got money, and the food and clothing are guaranteed in the future, so I am in a particularly good mood. When I go shopping all the way, all the shops related to people's livelihood will be Go in and take a stroll.

The grain and oil shop is very monotonous, with only a few wooden boxes containing the three main grains of breaded noodles, thick noodles, and thin noodles, plus three kinds of miscellaneous grains: soybeans, mung beans, and red beans. There are oily traces, it is not difficult to guess that it should be soybean oil. I asked the price and found that it costs [-] yuan a catty, but the soybeans used for oil extraction are only [-] yuan. The ratio is five to one. I really don’t know where it is. The oil extraction technology is not good, or because it is produced by an official workshop, it is suspected of selling "Bawang Oil".But thinking of the thin layer of oil on the vegetable soup every time, she bought a large jar of twenty catties without hesitation.

In the butcher shop, most of the chopping boards are mutton and pork, but there seems to be little beef for sale. Thinking of ancient times, cattle were important agricultural materials and could not be easily slaughtered. Maybe it is the same here.Except for two mutton legs that are sold separately, the rest of the mutton is regardless of the part, whichever you catch.Pork is sold separately in the same way as in modern times, but people here don't know that bones are also a good thing, and they are all used as extras for regular customers, who will clamor to replace them with small pieces of fat.Mu Ai chatted with the boss for a few words, and bought [-] catties of mutton, a whole piece of pork belly and [-] catties of waist plate, all for three taels of silver.This is really meeting a big customer. The boss sees Mu Ai dressed as a woman, so he regards her as the lady in charge of a wealthy family. He is very enthusiastic after busy work. He is worried about how to build a good relationship. I heard that She also wanted to buy dozens of catties of big bone sticks, and immediately wrapped up all the bones on the chopping board, but she didn't want a penny, and then called the little guy to help send them back. Mu Ai smiled and said the name of the inn, and also Ignoring the disappointed face of the boss, he handed over a small piece of silver to the boy, counting it as hard money, and asked him to send the oil jar along with him. Son ran away.

In contrast, there are many kinds of medicinal materials in the pharmacy. Except for the side of the main entrance, there are tall wooden cabinets on the other three walls. They are all in good health, and Erniu's grandfather is a doctor, so Mu Ai just looked outside the door a few times before walking over.

Just now, in order to change clothes in a hurry, Mu Ai just bought two sets of clothes indiscriminately with Erniu. Now that I have free time, I went to a big cloth shop to have a closer look.The boss of Buzhuang is a kind and fat old man, and he doesn't mind troublesome, and she answers every question in detail.The weaving industry in this time and space is very developed, with ordinary linen, soft cotton, expensive brocade, and snow-white cotton. This also makes Mu Ai even more curious about the origin of the fabric in the boss’s mouth—Rongcheng. If you want to come, it is also a place similar to Suzhou and Hangzhou in ancient China.In the end, the boss asked the boss to wrap two bolts of light-colored high-quality cotton cloth and two boxes of embroidery threads of various colors, and paid three or two or three silver coins, intending to take them back and give them to the old lady.

There is a small alley selling vegetables not far from the cloth village gate, turn left, Mu Ai wanted to go in and have a look, but felt that it was inconvenient to hold the cloth, so she found a corner, quickly threw it into the space, and then lightly Walking around on foot, on both sides of the alley, there are mostly peasant women with green cloth baotou selling fresh vegetables in baskets, and the types are no different from what they usually eat at home. Did not find any fish and shrimp for sale.However, when she was cooking with fish and shrimp in the restaurant, she didn't see any surprises from those diners. Maybe she didn't find the right place, or the restaurant has its own purchase channels.

Suddenly, Mu Ai found someone selling tofu in the innermost alley, which made her very happy. Tofu is not only nutritious, but also easy to serve with dishes, and can be used to make many home-cooked dishes.She hasn't seen the old lady cook it once in the past half a month, probably because there is no tofu shop in the village.Mu Ai considered buying the whole board of tofu, but she couldn't put it in the space blatantly.I had no choice but to find out where the peddler lived, gave a deposit of [-] Wen, and agreed to go to his house early in the morning to take away two boards of tofu. As a result, the peddler was excited to confirm again and again.

Mu Ai didn't think it was such a big business that could make people so excited, she was puzzled, and found out the reason after careful questioning. The craft of making tofu was passed down from the hawker's ancestors, but the way of eating was not. Come down, on weekdays, restaurants and wealthy families occasionally buy two pieces to stew in broth, while poor people think that eight cents a piece is too expensive, so they only buy a piece when there is no green vegetables in winter and they need to entertain guests. Sprinkle with soy sauce and eat.Therefore, their family has been selling tofu for many years, and they have never taken over a big business of 72 yuan for two boards of tofu.

Mu Ai almost sighed three times at the clumsiness of this time and space in eating.If the legend told by Grandma Li is true, then the gods not only took away most of the species, but also took away the creativity of the people's minds about eating. So many people were taken aback.If she also opens a restaurant in the future and presents those modern home-cooked dishes, the threshold will definitely be trampled by diners.Mu Ai withdrew her thoughts, smiled and nodded to the peddler, saying that she was going to pick up the tofu tomorrow morning, then turned and left.She still remembers an important thing to do today-buying books.
