Chapter 32 What a Man

"Well, okay, Mrs. Zhong Ling, I know what you mean. When I get back, I will tell my sister-in-law to see what she means. If we are willing, we will come to you again." Bai Jinli nodded.

If this embroidery can be sold for money, it should be considered a good thing for Mrs. Zhang, right?
Wait for her to go back and ask Mrs. Zhang.

"Okay, since that's the case, I'll give you a little cheaper embroidery thread today. If you erase the 36 coins, you can give me four big coins." Mrs. Zhong Ling said straightforwardly.

"Thank you ma'am, you're such a nice person.

By the way, lady, let me ask you a question, when I just entered the door, I saw you looking at something seriously, what is that? "Bai Jinli still couldn't hold back the curiosity in her heart.

"That, it's the most popular vernacular on the market recently, and some of them came from foreign domains. They all tell some interesting stories, which are very interesting."

script?Ancient version of the novel?Sounds a little interesting, huh?

"Shopkeeper, can you let me take a look?" Bai Jinli asked.

"Well, okay, you can read it." Zhong Ling handed over the script.

Bai Jinli simply flipped through a few pages, and quickly understood the story structure of the script.

It is nothing more than a series of love-hate relationships in which a scholar falls in love with a rich lady.

"Are there many such books on the market?" Bai Jinli began to inquire.

"Not much, I won't talk about less, and there are very few books as interesting as this one. You don't know how much effort I gave up in order to get this script."

Zhong Ling took the words that Bai Jinli handed back and hugged Ben in her arms like a baby.

"Where can I usually buy such a book?"

"Here, there is a bookstore not far from this street, you have to go look for it. Why, are you also interested in these?"

"Well, it's okay, haha." Bai Jinli nodded with a smile.

Didn't realize it, Mrs. Zhong Ling is a woman who likes to read novels.

She was so happy to read such a simple and boring story of a scholar falling in love with a rich lady.

If she knew that there are so many good-looking novels of various types in modern times, she would be so excited?
"If you like it, go to that bookstore and tell me the name of Mrs. Zhong Ling, and the people there will pay attention to you." Mrs. Zhong Ling said very boldly.

"Okay, then thank you lady first."

Bai Jinli put away the embroidery thread, covered her face with the embroidered handkerchief again, said goodbye to Mrs. Zhong Ling, and walked towards the bookstore.

She made up her mind that she was going to buy all the vernacular books in the bookstore and read them, so as to get a general idea of ​​the types of vernacular books in the world.

That's the best way to plan for the future.

You know, there are too many storylines in her mind.

What if the scriptures of this dynasty are very boring, and she writes a funny script, accidentally becomes popular and makes a lot of money?
Oh, I'm looking forward to it just thinking about it.

After going to the bookstore and reporting the name of Mrs. Zhong Ling, the person inside really treated her a lot more politely and warmly.

Under the guidance of that person, Bai Jinli found a total of seven story books, and also took two miscellaneous histories of Daqi State and a complete book of Chinese herbal medicine.

After paying the money and walking out of the bookstore, Bai Jinli took advantage of walking into a deserted alley and quickly threw the bought books into the space.

These books are too heavy to talk about, and they may have to explain for a long time when they meet Mrs. Li.

Just hide it, once and for all.

Even the embroidery thread that Bai Jinli bought was thrown into the space, and she didn't take anything with her hands.

Rushing to the wonton shop in a hurry, Mrs. Li really pulled her to ask anxiously.

"Girl, why did you come back? But what happened?"

"Mother, it's okay. I accidentally chatted with the pharmacist about medicinal materials for a while, and forgot the time, which kept you waiting for a long time."

"It's good that you're fine, but I'm worried to death. I thought you were being bullied by someone. I was thinking, if I don't see you back after a while, let Bai Mo take us to find you."

"Mom, I'm fine. Have you bought everything?" Bai Jinli quickly changed the topic.

"I bought some rice flour oil, and cut a half a catty of meat, and the pork seller even sent some extra pigs to the water." Mrs. Li looked relieved after being greedy for the cheap.

"Mom, what do you want those pigs to do? You can't eat them. I think the pork seller is obviously trying to trick us." Bai Tianqi groaned.

"You know what a fart! There is a lot of pork in a catty and a half, and there are extra things as gifts. How can it be a scam? Are you so easy to be cheated, old lady?"

"Although this pig offal is not tasty, it's still meat. I just bought a catty and a half of meat, how many people can eat it? Don't you want the eldest daughter-in-law to eat this?" Mrs. Li stared at it.

"Mom, how do you eat this thing? It's better to throw it away!"

"Throw it away? Hehe, second child, you're beeping, don't eat the meat you've returned, give it to my daughter, and you'll be able to eat these pigs one by one." Mrs. Li sneered.

"Mother, I was wrong." When Bai Tianqi heard that he had no meat to eat, he immediately admitted his mistake.

"..." Bai Jinli.

Who said that pigs cannot be eaten in the water?
Pig offal generally refers to the internal organs of pigs, including pig intestines, pig hearts, pig stomachs, pig livers, etc.

If it is done well, it is also very delicious.

"Girl, you have done a great job this time. When you go back, mother will ask your sister-in-law and second sister-in-law to cook meat for you." Mrs. Li looked at Bai Jinli lovingly.

"Well, my mother is good to me."

"By the way, mother, I still want to buy some seeds. Didn't I make a bet with my second brother yesterday, if he loses, he will dig the land for me, I want to grow vegetables."

"Little sister, you don't take it seriously, do you?" Bai Tian had a bitter face.

"That's natural, words don't count, what kind of man!"

"...!" Bai Baiqi looked at his younger sister who was staring at him, and always felt that his younger sister seemed to have a different temperament.

"Girl, what kind of vegetables do you grow? How hard it is, what if you get tired?"

"Mother, what are you afraid of? Isn't Bai Meng Bai Mo and the others helping me? I don't care, I want to grow vegetables!"

"All right, all right, if you say plant it, then plant it. Bai Mo, do you hear me, I will help your sister-in-law more in the future. If you dare to be lazy, I will break your leg."

"Yeah, don't worry, grandma, I don't dare to be lazy." Bai Mo quickly promised.

"Hmph, it's best not to dare."

"Come on, girl, let's go buy seeds." Turning around, Mrs. Li had a loving face again.

After buying a lot of vegetable seeds and flower seeds, Bai Jinli clamored to buy seasonings, and also bought some vegetables that were not often eaten on weekdays.

"Hey, girl, why don't you think about buying clothes and rouge powder today?"

Mrs. Li expressed a little strange.

According to her daughter's temperament, no matter whether she is in the town or the county, she has to buy food first, and then rouge and gouache, hair rope jewelry, and beautiful clothes.

Why is it a sex change today?

"I don't want to buy it. I still have it at home. It's the same when I buy it next time." Bai Jinli shook her head.

With her looks and figure, no matter what she wears or wears, she is equally scary.

That being the case, why bother.

"By the way, mother, let's go buy some fabric." Bai Jinli glanced at the clothes on Granny Li and Bai Mo, and said instantly.

Behind him, Bai Tianqi couldn't help curling his lips.

I agreed not to buy it, but I changed my mind in a blink of an eye.

Oh, little sister is still little sister after all.

"Okay." Seeing Bai Jinli's excited face, Mrs. Li gritted her teeth and agreed.

Anyway, I can't come to the county a few times a year, so I just come, and I can buy whatever my daughter wants.

After buying the fabric, Bai Jinli went to buy brown sugar, white sugar, some food, and a few meat buns, and it was over.

After such a lot of buying, buying, and buying, the hands of the four people are almost full.

Looking at the time, it's time to go home.

Because there are too many things in their hands, it is unrealistic to expect them to walk back with these things.

When they got to the gate of the county seat, they encountered a bullock cart going back to the neighboring village.

After some bargaining, the owner of the ox cart agreed to take them to Shitou Village for five renminbi, and then they walked back home.

After half an hour of staggering in the bullock cart, it can be regarded as returning to the stone village.

As soon as the four of them entered the door with those things in their arms, they saw Bai Jasmine, Niu's, Zhang's, and old man Bai surrounding them with curiosity on their faces.

"Why did you buy so many things?" Old Man Bai couldn't help but look at their trophies.

"What's the matter? The eggs are sold for money, the flower baskets made by my daughter are sold for money, and my daughter's herbs are also sold for money.

Now that you have money, what's wrong with buying something? "Grandma Li said triumphantly.

"What? Those flower baskets have been sold?" Mr. Bai was surprised.

"That's necessary. Let me tell you, these are all thanks to my daughter. I think as soon as we entered the market and my daughter stopped there, someone would come and buy several flower baskets at once."

Mrs. Li boasted without changing her expression.

Bai Jinli was a little ashamed, and couldn't help but glance at Bai Baiqi and Bai Mo.

But found that the two people looked calm, as if they were used to this kind of thing.

I searched my memory, and it seems that whenever there was any good thing in the past, Mrs. Li would put these names on Bai Jinli's head, and Bai Jinli was no stranger to it.

Well, it's my mother.

No problem.

"Lizi, you are really amazing." Niu smiled and praised her.

"Hmm, so-so." Bai Jinli snorted very bluntly.

"By the way, when I came back, I bought some meat buns and food for you. But now those meat buns are probably cold, so they need to be heated in a pot."

When they took out the meat buns and handed them to Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Niu looked at her as if they were looking at a monster.

This is the first time that this sister-in-law took the initiative to hand them delicious food!
It's just incredible.

"What are you looking at? My daughter is pretty, why are you staring at her for so long? There is still some pork here, eldest daughter-in-law, you take it to wash it, and fry it later." Granny Li scolded.
