The gentleman is knocking on the door

Chapter 6 Money to Pay
6
Speaking of it, Mi Congcong and Milan Lan were lucky. The business of the two meat stalls was not very good today. In this hot weather, the meat from the previous night must not be sold. The two butchers are planning to sell the meat cheaply.

Pork belly is more expensive than lean meat. Mi Congcong asked Milan Lan to buy two catties of lean meat, but Milan Lan saw that people were scrambling to buy meat, so he was so excited that he asked for a catty of pork belly and three catties of lean meat, plus a stick Big bone, only five or six copper plates left in the end.

Mi Congcong stroked his forehead helplessly: "You prodigal girl."

Isn't it afraid of spoilage if you buy so much meat in this hot day?

"girl."

Just when Mi Congcong rejoiced again that he didn't give all the broken silver to Milan Lan, a middle-aged man who respected her appeared in front of him.

"Uncle called me?" Judging from the clothes on the middle-aged man, Mi Congcong guessed that he should be one of the people who fought in front of Zuixiang Building.

But what did this man come to her for?
Xu Jiajia Ding glanced at the crowd who were pushing and shoving in front of him, and frowned: "May I take a step to talk?"

Seeing Mi Congcong's vigilant look, the Xu family member hurriedly said: "Girl, I don't mean anything malicious, it's our young master who wants to thank you for saving Miss Ying'er's life."

Mi Congcong raised his eyebrows, and then a friendly smile appeared on his small face: "I see."

After learning from the aunt that Zuixiang Building turned out to be a green building, Mi Congcong really didn't have much affection for the two rich second generations who just fought for an oiran, but this is a life-saving grace... Hehe, Only a fool will push it out if it is beneficial.

Mi Congcong followed the middle-aged man to the corner of the street. The middle-aged man looked around and saw that no one was coming, so he quickly handed the bank note to Mi Congcong: "Girl, There is a difference between men and women, and it is inconvenient for my young master to see you, this is a little care of our young master, please accept it."

Mi Congcong opened the bank note and took a look - 50 taels!
But what is the concept of 50 taels?
Mi Congcong frowned in confusion.

The middle-aged man thought that Mi Congcong was too young, so he hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "Girl, our young master also asked me to bring you a sentence, saying that if you encounter any troubles in Wushan Town in the future, you can go to Xu's house to look for it." Our young master, as long as our young master can help, he will definitely go through fire and water!"

The middle-aged man looked sincere, but actually scolded Mi Congcong in his heart for being greedy.

One must know that it only cost a dozen taels of silver to buy a young maid in their house. Although Miss Yinger's status is not low now, 50 taels is not too little, right?Look at this girl's clothes, she's just from the countryside. It's not bad to give her 50 taels, but she dares to think less, it's so annoying!

"Uncle, please thank Young Master Xu for me, just say I know." Mi Congcong smiled brightly at the middle-aged man.

You can repay your life-saving grace with silver. This Young Master Xu is really considerate!
Mi Congcong has a little more affection for Xu Shaochang.

"Girl, then I'll go back first." The middle-aged man really didn't want to take another look at this greedy country girl, turned around and left.

Mi Congcong hid the banknote on his body, and then went back to the meat stall to look for Milan Lan.

Milan Lan was in the right mood after buying so much meat, and when he saw Mi Congcong came back, he shouted excitedly: "Quick, come and help me lift the meat, I'm dead!"

"Don't you still have a few copper coins left on you? Go to the grocery store and buy salt." Mi Congcong said as he took the meat.

There's no way I can finish eating so much meat today, how can I keep it if I don't marinate it?
"Go and buy, I'll look at the meat!" As soon as Milan Lan heard that she was told to leave the meat, she immediately snatched the meat back, took out the remaining copper coins and stuffed them into Mi Congcong's hands.

This meat is hers, this dead girl has a lot of thoughts, it is safer to carry this meat by herself.

Mi Congcong had everything in his heart written on his face, and Mi Congcong's heart was filled with embarrassment.

Really want to chisel open this girl's brain and see what's inside?
This meat is raw, can she still eat it raw?

Thinking of the bank note given by the young master of the Xu family, Mi Congcong thought for a moment, stuffed the vinegar jar and brown sugar into her arms, and said angrily, "I'm going to buy salt, okay?"

This girl is short-sighted, and Mi Congcong feels that he is insulting his IQ if he cares about her.

Mi Congcong went to the grocery store to buy some salt, and asked about the prices of rice, brown rice, soybean oil, etc., and roughly understood the prices of daily needs. This understanding surprised her.

It turned out that the 50 taels of silver bills that the young master of the Xu family gave her was an astronomical figure for their family, and it was enough for their family to spend for several years. However, Mi Congcong did not intend to let others know about this windfall.
Mi Congcong thought about it, and at the grocery store, he exchanged the 50 tael bank notes for small denomination bank notes. There were ten taels, five taels, and a few one taels.

The silver and copper plates are inconvenient to carry and are afraid of being discovered by others, but the banknotes are not easy to keep. Once they get wet, they are easily destroyed, so they will be reimbursed. Mi Congcong thinks that we should find a way to keep the ten tael and five tael banknotes separately. , Keep a few denominations of one or two on you for emergencies.

Because it was a market day, when Mi Congcong and Milan Lan returned home, there were a few fellow villagers who went to the town to buy daily necessities. Afraid of encountering "dirty things" again, the two followed them and left Wushan Town together. .

Not far from Wushan Town, an ox cart came up behind them, and the ox cart stopped beside the two of them. Except for the driver who drove the ox cart, Mi Zhiqing was sitting in the cart.

"Uncle!"

Seeing the people on the bullock cart clearly, Milan Lan's face lit up, and without waiting for Mi Zhiqing to speak, he threw the meat and big bones onto the bullock cart, and climbed up panting: "I'm exhausted!"

Mi Congcong, a dead girl, refuses to help her, and her hand is about to break.

Mi Zhiqing looked at the few catties of meat disapprovingly, but said nothing.

"Uncle, which village did you go to today?" Mi Congcong asked with a smile after getting into the car.

The most common means of transportation in Wushan Town is the ox cart, which is only affordable by a few wealthy families. The uncle is riding an ox cart today, presumably to go to "work" in a nearby village.

"There is a child in Donggou Village who has been crying for half a month. The parents of the child invited me to do a ritual a few days ago. I will go back today to see that the child has slept well these nights. The child My parents insisted on keeping me there for lunch before letting me go." Mi Zhiqing always answered Mi Congcong's questions.

The child cries in the middle of the night, and it will be solved by performing a ritual?
After hearing Mi Zhiqing's words, Mi Congcong was a little excited: "Uncle, can I learn the spell of exorcising ghosts from you?"

She originally wanted to ask her uncle for a few amulets to wear to prevent the original owner's spirit from being entangled, and to keep other ghosts from getting close, but now she changed her mind.

There are too many skills and you don't overwhelm yourself. It is safer to have spells than to carry a few talismans.

The uncle recruited her soul from another time and space. Mi Congcong was skeptical about his mana at first, but now she no longer doubts it.

The uncle recruited the wrong soul, maybe it was her fate, not the uncle's lack of mana.
