Chapter 10
Ge Hongshan smiled and waved his hands.

"That's what it should be. The dishes cooked by this recipe are sold to those noble gentry, so the price is naturally not cheap, so the price for you can't be low." After Ge Hongshan finished speaking, he said to Lin Er: "Here Green grass, bring the banknotes and silver!"

Hearing this, Lin Er took the four taels of silver in his hand and ran away again.

After a while, Lin Er came over with paper, pen and money.

"Miss Qingcao, this is 32 taels, please keep it."

Liu Qingcao looked at the three ten taels of silver notes and two taels of silver on the table.

"Uncle Gerrard, it's 22 taels, it's too much..."

Before she finished speaking, Liu Qingcao saw Ge Hongshan looking at her with a smile on her face, and she understood after a few swipes that the extra ten taels was the deposit for the remaining potatoes.

"Thank you, Uncle Ge." Liu Qingcao was grateful in her heart, it was her luck to meet such a nice person when she came here.

Looking at the pen and paper beside her, Liu Qingcao found herself in a difficult situation. She didn't know if the characters in this world were the same as what she knew. If it was written differently, it would be embarrassing!
"Uncle Ge, I have an injury on my hand, so it's not convenient for me to write. Do you think I can tell you to write?" Liu Qingcao stretched out her hand, and there were many marks left by blisters on her hand.

Ge Hongshan understood, took the pen and paper, and Liu Qingcao told the recipe one by one, and wrote four sheets of paper before finishing.

Looking at the words on the paper that she barely knew, Liu Qingcao knew that she had to learn this word again...

After the money was settled, Liu Qingcao took the money and went out of Huibailou. Ge Hongshan packed the rest of the dishes and prepared to take them back to his wife for a taste, while Lin Er looked anxiously at the shopkeeper's package.

Originally, he thought he could pick up leftovers to eat, but the shopkeeper left him four empty plates, waiting for him to collect them! ! !
Lin Er: The shopkeeper is really stingy!
Looking at the empty plate in front of him, Lin Er stretched out his fingers and dipped his finger on the plate of fried pork ribs with potatoes. The soup was all over his fingers. Lin Er looked around and saw no one, so he quickly put his hand into his mouth.

"Okay, delicious!" Lin Er really felt delicious, and quietly ran to the kitchen to fill a bowl of rice, poured it into the plate, mixed with the soup, Lin Er was satisfied, but felt that it was not enough after eating , Looking at the clean plates, he had no choice but to hope that the shopkeeper would give him some to eat.

"Bought it to eat, I'm afraid it's not enough for a month's wages, I really want to go back with Miss Qingcao..." Lin Er muttered as he cleaned up the table.

When Liu Qingcao passed by the bun shop, she bought two steamed buns and two meat buns.

Steamed buns cost two pennies each, steamed buns cost three pennies each, and they are not big, mainly because white flour is not cheap, while miscellaneous grain buns cost two pennies each. They are a bit bigger than steamed buns, and they are bought by more ordinary people.

At the entrance of the town, several ox carts were parked, and each ox cart went in a different direction, similar to modern buses.

Liu Qingcao had an impression of the old man Niu, he was the only one with an ox cart in the village, so he should remember what it was like after seeing it strangely!

In this village, apart from the village chief, he is the only one who can live a decent life.

There is a cow, which can be regarded as a big asset in any village, but he is a bit of a person. How should I put it, Liu Qingcao thinks that the old man Niu is not very talkative. When people ask anything, he will simply reply "Yeah." "Oh", otherwise I won't answer, I'm very withdrawn.

According to the original owner's parents, he came from the battlefield, and no one dared to provoke him.

Liu Qingcao found Old Man Niu's ox cart and climbed up with difficulty.

Looking at the old man Niu sitting on the front of the bullock cart, Liu Qingcao still spoke.

"Uncle Niu, can I go to the town again later, can I give you money?"

Liu Qingcao asked in a deliberative tone as much as possible, she was afraid of being thrown down due to her weird temper.

The old man Niu raised his eyelids, looked Liu Qingcao up and down, and said nothing. Liu Qingcao intuitively told her that she seemed to be rejected, and that look was murderous...

illusion?

Liu Qingcao swallowed her saliva, and said bravely: "Uncle Niu, I can give the money first..."

"Oh!"

The old man Niu closed his eyelids, sat in the front of the car and said nothing.

Liu Qingcao on the side was stunned, did he agree or not?
Do you want to ask again?
When Liu Qingcao was about to speak again, the ox cart moved...

After a while, she heard another word: Annoying!

Liu Qingcao twitched the corners of her mouth, what does this mean, why did she just leave and said she was annoying.

Liu Qingcao: What a weirdo!

Liu Qingcao was sitting on the ox cart, the road was uneven and there was no cushion, it was bumpy and uncomfortable, but it was indeed much faster than her walking, if it was an adult, it would still be faster than the ox.

When I got home, it was quite early, mainly because I got up early and didn't stay in town.

As soon as he got home, Liu Qingcao jumped out of the ox cart, rushed into the house, and came out with a load of potatoes. Before leaving, he gave Liu Jiangbei the steamed buns he bought, gave some instructions, and left in the ox cart .

It's not because the old man Niu is so weird. Liu Qingcao is afraid that he will be slow for a while, and the man will leave impatiently.

Bumping back and forth, Liu Qingcao's small body suffered a great crime.

At the entrance of the town, Liu Qingcao counted out twenty copper coins to the old man Niu. The old man took a look at it, took the money, and threw it into the wooden box beside him without counting it.

Liu Qingcao: ...

When they arrived at Huibailou, Liu Qingcao handed over the money and goods to Ge Hongshan, and agreed to deliver them in two days.

All of a sudden, Liu Qingcao had more than 30 taels of money in her pocket, and Liu Qingcao felt more at ease.

There is nothing at home, and there are many things to buy. Liu Qingcao has a clear goal, so she went directly to the mobile market and spent [-] Wen, buying a back basket, a Sha Kei, a bamboo basket and a brush handle.

Passing by the vegetable market, Liu Qingcao bought a cucumber for one penny, a catty of eggplants for two pennies, a handful of shallots for one penny, green melons for a catty for two pennies, and ten eggs for twenty pennies.

At the meat stall, Liu Qingcao took a look, most of the chopping boards were lean meat...

Liu Qingcao, who was standing by the side, thought about it, and finally bought a catty of pork belly and three catties of fat oil, which cost 220 Wen.

Liu Qingcao: No wonder I don’t eat much meat, how many catties of rice can I buy...

I found a grain shop and bought five catties of medium rice for 68 Wen, five catties of white flour for 45 Wen, one catty of brown sugar for 130 Wen, one catty of salt for 430 Wen, two catties of vegetable oil for [-] Wen, Chinese prickly ash for [-] Wen, and dried chili for half a catty for ten Wen, half a catty of garlic cost a total of [-] Wen, and the shopkeeper's price was three Wen cheaper.

Salt, vegetable oil and sugar are really expensive. No wonder most people search for it, and the cooking is not delicious.

There is no iron at home, so I have to go to the blacksmith's shop.

The blacksmith's shop was at the end of the street, and the clang of hammers was heard before approaching. The closer it was, the higher the surrounding temperature.

There are three people in the shop, all busy, two men and one woman, it should be a family of three.

Liu Qingcao stood at the door with a sweat towel hanging around his neck. The burly middle-aged man stopped what he was doing and greeted Liu Qingcao with a smile.

"Little girl, come to my old Liu's iron shop, what are you going to buy?"

Liu Qingcao took a look around, and there were basic iron tools in the shop.

"Cooking knife, machete, scissors, hoe, iron pot, and shovel, how much is it?" Liu Qingcao asked weakly, after all, iron is not cheap in this world...

Liu Dazhuang was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly and said, "Little girl bought so much, I'll give you the whole calculation, Lao Liu, a total of 20 taels of silver."

Liu Qingcao: Two, 20 taels?This iron is not ordinary expensive wow.

so expensive!Most of the money I just got is going to be gone before it's warmed up...

Liu Qingcao sighed for a long time, gritted her teeth, and asked tentatively, "Can it be cheaper?"

Liu Dazhuang saw that the little girl bought it sincerely, and bought a lot at once. After thinking about it, he said straightforwardly: "If you want a hundred cash less, I will give it to you!"

"Yes, it's just what I said!" Liu Qingcao knew that one hundred pennies was the limit, and she would be kicked away if she called it cheap. Of course, she would not let go of this opportunity.

Immediately took out the silver and gave it to Liu Dazhuang.

Liu Dazhuang felt that the little girl was quite interesting, so he didn't say any more, and after making up the money, he turned around and went to fetch something from the shelf.

Looking at the big black iron pot, Liu Qingcao happily touched it again and again.

Every day in the future will be a day with good food and good food.

The back basket was bought big, and it contained almost [-] catties of things. After putting these iron tools in, Liu Qingcao was afraid that she would not be able to stand up when she carried it home. If she kept the rattan frame for the potatoes, she would be able to carry it easily Some.

It's a pity, when I saw it was a bit broken in the restaurant, I said no...

Seeing her looking at the pile of things in embarrassment, Liu Dazhuang waved his hand and summoned his son Liu Hu.

"Huzi, help the little girl to the entrance of the town."

Liu Qingcao raised her head when she heard the words, and saw a strong young man approaching, she glanced at Liu Dazhuang gratefully.

"Thank you Uncle Liu, then I will trouble Brother Huzi."

"No, it's just a favor, Hu Zi, go and come back quickly."

Liu Hu nodded, picked up the things, glanced at Liu Qingcao, and walked towards the entrance of the town.

I wanted to buy something else, so I had to wait until the next time I came.

Someone helped, so naturally it was fast. When they arrived at the entrance of the town, Liu Qingcao thanked Liu Hu. Seeing that the old man Niu was still there, she put the basket on it with a smile, and turned around to get those iron things again.

After being loaded into the ox cart, Liu Qingcao sat quietly on the ox cart. It was almost noon, and she was the only one in the old man's cart, and she didn't know if anyone would come.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, no one came. The old man Niu looked up at the sky, picked up his whip and began to drive the cart.

Liu Qingcao made several trips by herself, she couldn't help thinking, is it true that everyone in the village is busy working in the fields today?

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Qingcao didn't think about it anymore, anyway, she was happy alone, if people with bad intentions in the village saw her buying so many things, they would be on guard all the time.

Approaching the entrance of the village unsteadily, Liu Qingcao got out of the bullock cart, and followed behind the bullock cart from close to or far away. When it was time for lunch, there were many people in the field.

Many people watched the bullock cart passing by, but only raised their eyes, Liu Qingcao knew it clearly.

These people thought it was Old Man Niu's stuff, and because of his bad temper, no one went up to strike up a conversation, not even to say hello, let alone to ask.

Liu Qingcao: Looks like I've got this weird old man naked.

The old man Niu arrived at the gate of his courtyard for a long time before Liu Qingcao ran there panting.

Seeing the person sitting quietly in the bullock cart, Liu Qingcao was slightly relieved.

Liu Jiangbei in the yard has been watching from the old man Niu to the gate of the yard, and never leaves the yard. His eyes look at the intersection for a while, and the old man Niu for a while.

After Liu Qingcao appeared, Liu Jiangbei called out to his sister.

Liu Qingcao responded, moved the things down, and paid the two-cent fare.

"Thank you, Uncle Niu. You haven't had lunch yet. Would you like to stay and eat together? I'll make it soon."

Liu Qingcao sincerely invited the old man Niu. Although this person has a bad temper, he has never heard of him doing bad things. Liu Qingcao intuitively judged that this person's character is still good.

And I have to trouble others after waiting for two days. It's nothing to have a meal. Although I also gave the money, it doesn't conflict.

The old man Niu looked at Liu Qingcao and his brother, and then at their thatched house.

"Okay!" The old cow put down the whip, pulled the cow aside and tied it, and said a word lightly.

Seeing that he agreed to stay for dinner, Liu Qingcao swiftly moved her things into the yard. Seeing that her sister brought so many things back, Liu Jiangbei was happy and followed her all the way.

The steamed buns and steamed buns that my sister brought back from the last trip were really delicious and fragrant. He had never eaten such delicious food before!
This pile of things was bought by my sister in exchange for potatoes, and Liu Jiangbei watched Liu Qingcao take them out one by one with sparkling eyes.

He doesn't know many things, but he knows that these are good things.

The old man Niu didn't enter the yard, and sat quietly in the front of the car alone, Liu Qingcao smiled, he was indeed a very good old man.

"Jiangbei, take this bowl of cold boiled water to Uncle Niu outside."

Liu Qingcao poured a bowl of water, and brought it to Liu Jiangbei, asking him to drink it for the old man Niu. The sun in the sky is not too small, and it has been drying all the way, and now it is drying again, and his mouth must be dry.

The newly bought pot needs to be boiled with oil, Liu Qingcao quickly placed the iron pot on another empty stove, and raised the fire.

The kitchen knife was repeatedly washed with water several times, and two taels of fat oil was cut off and placed in an iron pan, ready to be boiled.

Liu Qingcao made a bowl and a half of rice in the clay pot and poured it into it to cook, intending to cook a drained rice and eat it.

The pot was boiled to cool down, Liu Jiangbei was on fire, and Liu Qingcao was preparing the dishes for lunch.

A serving of cold cucumber, eggplant with minced meat, braised pork and stewed potatoes, three dishes should be enough.

For the potatoes left at home, Liu Qingcao made all the potatoes in one go, and gave them in a large pot. They were soft and melted in the mouth, and the pork belly was fat and thin.

If you bought fat sausages and braised potatoes with braised potatoes, the taste would be even better, but it would be troublesome to take care of, so let's wait until you sell out the potatoes.

Liu Qingcao is very fast, and the meal is ready in less than four to ten minutes.

Liu Qingcao moved the table out of the house and put it in the yard before asking Liu Jiangbei to call Old Niu in for dinner.

The bowls were made by themselves, and they were a little rough, which did not interfere with their use. The three bowls of white rice on the table looked even more attractive.

The old man Niu has a very good nose, and the aroma of Liu Qingcao has been in his nostrils since cooking. At this moment, he entered the courtyard and saw a table of quite rich meals, and the visual and olfactory impact became more intense.

"Uncle Niu, I'm sorry to trouble you today. Don't be too polite. I still have the rice in the pot after eating. I cook too much." Liu Qingcao was afraid that the old man Niu would be unreasonable, so he was embarrassed to eat more, so he made a point of explaining.

It's just that Liu Qingcao thought too much, the old man Niu said "hmm", picked up his chopsticks and ate without any hesitation.

Old man Niu: This little girl is good at cooking, even better than those chefs.

Seeing that the old man Niu started to eat unceremoniously, Liu Jiangbei turned his head to look at Liu Qingcao, who put a piece of pork belly into his bowl, smiled and said nothing.

Liu Jiangbei looked at the meat in the bowl, swallowed, picked it up and put it in his mouth.

"Well, delicious sister!"

"As long as it's delicious, there's enough for you to eat, so don't choke." Liu Qingcao reminded, and started to eat on her own.

For a meal, the three of them were all immersed in eating, and no one said much.

Liu Jiangbei and Liu Qingcao had already eaten steamed buns and buns, and their stomachs were only so big, no matter how delicious they were, they couldn't hold them.

That's it, there is no rice or vegetables left!
Liu Qingcao was secretly surprised, she didn't expect that the old man Niu, who looked like five or sixty years old and lived in this poor Kaka, would have such a big appetite.

It's unbelievable!
