I'm not a genius in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 31: The New Account Book
"Since the little brother has made up his mind, I can't force it. But if you need anything in the future, please come to the palace directly to find me. If you can do it, I, Gao Jide, will never hesitate."

Gao Jide nodded at Wang Zi'an with a very serious expression, Wang Zi'an was not polite, and agreed with a smile.A group of people chatted and laughed for a while. Gao Jide, as the manager of the county palace, had a lot of affairs, so he got up to leave. Uncle Gao and Uncle Qi also went to settle the wages with the report compiled by Wang Zi'an.

The rest of the people split up to pack their luggage. In fact, there was nothing to pack. It was only the end of July at this time, and the weather was not considered cold. I didn't bring a change of clothes.When Uncle Gao came back from the front yard with his wages, everyone had already packed up and left just waiting for the money.

"It's still early in the day, and everyone finally went to the city. If you need something to bring home, you can go to buy it after you get paid, and gather outside the far door before Youshi."

Everyone gave a cheer together and made great efforts to help others, isn't it for this reason.

"Zian, you have a good brain, come here and settle the wages for everyone."

Wang Zi'an took the ledger and distributed the money to everyone with a smile.It's all hard-earned money, counted penny by penny, and everyone can clearly divide it.Uncle Gao and a few old men stood aside and praised with smiles.

"As expected of a cultured person, his work is much more reliable. Even the account manager in front of me praised it, saying that although your earthworm-like ghost symbols look weird, but the accounts are done meticulously and accurately, and they must be cultivated properly. A good hand with money."

Wang Zi'an just laughed. At that time, he was only greedy for convenience. The numbers in the form used Arabic numerals habitually, but fortunately, he also habitually marked the uppercase numbers later, otherwise it would be a joke.

Everyone got the money, even Wang Zi'an got more than a dozen big money.Then they picked up their respective packages and went out in twos and threes.

Uncle Gao and Uncle Qi also wanted to bring some things for their wives and children. Only Gao Dazhuang and a few unmarried young people had nothing to buy, so they were dragged by Wang Zi'an to buy.Since he couldn't go back in a short time, he had to settle down for the time being.Some daily necessities have to be considered.

Clothes and bedding, pots and pans, rice noodles with oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, all went well, and the price was really not very high.It's just that when I bought the spices, it took a little trouble.

"Zian, what do you want to buy? I see that you have found several grain and oil grocery stores."

Gao Dazhuang asked Wang Zi'an curiously.

"Star anise, peppercorns, pepper, fennel, nutmeg, cinnamon..."

Wang Zi'an couldn't keep counting, because he found that the eyes of the friends around him were very strange, and he couldn't help scratching his small plate that had begun to grow in surprise, just buying some spices, what's so strange of?

"what happened?"

"Zian, what you're talking about seems to be medicinal materials—the last time when Uncle Shuanzi had a stomachache, I heard their brother Da Zhu asked for peppers and the like..."

medicine?

Wang Zi'an scratched his head, and then suddenly remembered that he had habitually made the mistake of empiricism, and went directly to the grain and oil store to buy spices.In fact, to be honest, apart from the lack of chili peppers in the Tang Dynasty, almost all the spices used in daily cooking were available.But because most of the spices are imported, the price is very expensive, only those dignitaries can enjoy it, and it is still in the stage of luxury goods.

After Liu Bang established the empire in the Han Dynasty, he used pepper powder and mud to decorate the house, and proudly named it the Jiaofang Palace, specially for his queen to live in.During the Tang Dynasty, Yuan Zai was the prime minister. When he fell, 64 dendrobium peppers were found in the house. Converted to today, there are about [-] tons. This is simply a gold collection.Therefore, ordinary people can’t afford it at all, and it’s impossible for some small shops on the street to have it. Most of the spices in this era are in pharmacies, and the prices are still expensive!

You have to buy it even if you are dead expensive!
In the past few days, except for the lunch at Qin Shubao's house, everything else is enough to test one's appetite.Although I can eat it, who wouldn't want to eat more comfortably if conditions permit?With the direction, Wang Zi'an didn't wander around, and went straight to the nearby big drugstore.

I bought a small bag of everything, that's really a price!

Although Wang Zi'an didn't take money very seriously, he couldn't help the corners of his eyes twitching.Things that were like cabbage in the previous life are now sold like gold, and the money on him has directly shrunk by a large amount.Looking back at the various friends who were carrying them, Wang Zi'an simply hired a ox cart from a car dealer.

A few people wandered around the West Market. Wang Zi'an was like entering the city for the first time. He was interested in everything in this era. He looked here and there, touched this, asked about that, with a look of novelty on his face.These are all antiques. When you leave, you can pick up a broken porcelain bowl from any small stall. It is estimated that it will sell for tens of thousands when you go back...

Later, he squatted in front of the candy blowing booth on the street and watched for a long time, watching the old man juggle and blowing out one after another vivid and interesting sugar figures of different shapes.You read that right, they are sugar figurines, the kind that the old men on the street carry their burdens and sell them on the spot.What he held in his hand was a naive little bear, and he liked it a little bit.Put one in each hand, including the old man who drove him.

The old man driving the car was not willing to eat, so he put it away cheerfully, saying that he wanted to keep it for his grandson to eat. Gao Dazhuang and the others were embarrassed to eat it, but Wang Zi'an didn't care about it, and happily stuffed the candy man In my own mouth, this is Datang's sugar man, it tastes like an antique, and you won't be able to eat it for any amount of money in future generations...

"Wow——sister, look at that person, he is so old and still eats sugar—"

A crunchy, cute, and soft child's voice suddenly came from behind.When Wang Zi'an looked back, he was almost petrified.A little girl with pink make-up and delicate to the extreme, was pointing at herself with a look of surprise, and said to a woman next to her in a veiled hat and a pink-yellow palace dress.

"I'm sorry, children are not sensible..."

Seeing Wang Zi'an turning his head to look over, the lady in palace costume wearing a veiled cap pulled the little girl and nodded slightly in apology.

"Sister, I'm not a child—"

The little girl puffed her cheeks, her face was disaffected, and there was an indescribable cuteness on her face.Wang Zi'an couldn't help smiling when he saw it, and casually threw a few big money to the old man blowing sugar, and chose two cute bunny candies from the sugar figures that had already blown up, walked up, and couldn't help but say, one of them stuffed one in his hand.

"Little sister, brother treats you to a candy man—"

Wang Zi'an's offer was so straightforward that the woman in palace costume didn't even have time to refuse, so she accepted it subconsciously.When he reacted, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed while holding the sugar figure in his hand. It didn't seem right to throw it, and it didn't seem right to hold it...
