Splendid peasant girl

Chapter 44 This meat is so expensive!
Shen Qiqiao walked out of the small alley with seven taels of silver in her pocket, three taels of money from selling medicinal materials, and the other four taels of change from the five taels of silver that Su Shi gave her.

In addition, there are 65 copper coins in her arms.

The three taels of silver from selling medicinal materials was the first pot of gold she earned in this strange ancient world. Shen Qiqiao believed that as long as she worked hard, her life would be better.

She weighed the empty bamboo basket on her back and went straight to the morning market.

It took a while to meet Su Shi and his fiancee outside the Puji Hall. Fortunately, there was still an hour before the morning market closed. As long as he was in a hurry, he could still gather the supplies he wanted to buy.

"Master Liu, remember to come again next time!"

"Hey, good girl, Master Liu, I will continue to pamper you next time, come on, give me a kiss, haha..."

Shen Qiqiao turned out from the alley, came to the street, and suddenly smelled a strong smell of rouge and the slightly lewd voices of a man and a woman.

She looked over in a daze, and there was a small brothel on the side of the street. A blue and white sedan chair was parked in front of the brothel, and a beautifully dressed and charming woman walked out of the sedan chair.

As for the sedan chair, there sat a fat old man with a big arm and a fat waist, beckoning at the woman with a serious face.

"Hey, it's really strange. Although the sparrows in this small town are small, they have all the internal organs, and they even have brothels!"

Shen Qiqiao glanced curiously, the name Chunfanglou had already been remembered in her heart.

She didn't stop, and hurried to the morning market.

The morning market entrance is very crowded with people coming and going.

At this moment, it's not too early or too late, Shen Qiqiao spent 15 minutes walking around the market, estimating how much purchasing power the money brought this time would have.

She casually asked an uncle who sold rice, and only then did she know that the rice here is divided into coarse rice and polished rice.

Rough rice costs five cents a catty. Although it is cheap, it is mixed with a little stone, sand and other messy impurities, and the color of the rice is not very good.

Fine rice is relatively expensive, ten cents a catty, but it is white and white rice, which tastes delicious and soft.

Shen Qiqiao thought that the rice Su Shi sent was definitely polished white rice, and she became even more curious about this person, why did he treat the original owner so well?

But right now is not the time to think about these things, Shen Qiqiao doesn't have so much time to waste on these irrelevant things, she thinks of herself and her siblings, the five buckets of rice sent by Su Shi, calculated in two catties, sixty catties, But this little rice is not enough for them to eat.

Especially Shen Qiqiao vowed to take good care of her younger siblings, from now on they will only eat white rice and never eat rough grains again.

Thinking of this, Shen Qiqiao bought another twenty catties of polished rice.

Besides rice, Shen Qiqiao also bought a few catties of cornmeal, some basic necessities, rice, oil and salt. As for those seasonings, Shen Qiqiao didn't think so much for the time being.

Her home is completely bare now, and she has nothing, so she just bought some food, and only two taels of silver are gone, dead expensive!

Of course, the main reason why it was so expensive was that the things Shen Qiqiao bought were of good quality.

"What do you want, little girl? Fat meat is [-] renminbi, and lean meat is [-] renminbi a catty. Do you want to see it?"

Shen Qiqiao carried a lot of bottles and cans on his back, and the main basket was heavy, and he could tell he had bought a lot of good things at a glance, when a big bearded man saw Shen Qiqiao, he immediately treated him like a big customer, Hastily yelled up.

Shen Qiqiao glanced at the bearded man, saw the pork on his desk, and said with a puckered mouth, "Uncle, your meat is so expensive!"
