I Made 300000 a Year in Ancient Times
Chapter 17: Sugar & Blush
On the fourth day of coming to this world, Qu Qing finally ate meat for the first time. When the taste of the meat spread in his mouth, he was so moved that he almost shed tears on the spot - it was delicious! !
After finishing their lunch, Qu Qing and his party were about to continue to carry their hoes to farm the fields. As soon as they walked to the door, they saw a trader with a pole carrying a big push in the distance. His eyes lit up and he immediately called someone to come over. .
"Are you closing your hair?"
The trader raised his head and glanced at Qu Qing's strange bald-headed appearance, and said in a warm tone, "Yes, brother, how many do you have?"
"Wait." Qu Qing said two words, turned around and entered the room to find the neatly arranged and clean hair, and handed it to the salesman.
The seller weighed it in his hand, and held a price. Qu Qing glanced at Hua Zizhou and saw his ignorant expression. Qu Qing guessed that he probably didn't know the price of the hair, but it was also, after all, in ancient times, no one would cut it. What about selling hair?
He and the merchant tried to communicate and raised the price. After a few times, he finally sold his hair for three hundred pennies. The merchant was about to leave when Qu Qing said, "Wait, do you have a sewing box in here? Are there any vegetables?"
The little guy was only seventeen or eighteen years old. Seeing that there was business, he immediately became more enthusiastic, put down his burden, and took out things in turn: "I have it, cabbage, radishes, peppers, coriander, cucumbers, what do you want."
Qu Qing looked at the things he was selling. There were combs, needles, hairpins and other items for women. On the other side were candies and groceries, and asked, "How much is a pack?"
"Three cents for a needle and thread box, and one penny for a bag of vegetables."
Qu Qing made a secret comparison in his heart, and found that the 300 wen he got from selling his hair was a huge sum of money at present, so he chose a few favorite vegetables to buy one package, and another one. Box of needle and thread.
When he came here, he found that some of his clothes were torn with small holes. When he wanted to mend it, he rummaged through the shabby thatched hut and could not find any needles and threads for mending clothes, so he had to wear the ragged clothes and dry for a few days. Tianhuo, as for vegetable seeds, he thought that he couldn't always find wild vegetables, and he wanted to try growing some vegetables himself.
There are also many other gadgets for children to play with. Next to it, Hua Zizhou, Jiang Zhu and Qu Xin are all interested in looking around the goods sold by the merchant.
Qu Qing noticed that their behavior was very orderly, but they just watched, but they didn't reach out to touch it. I don't know if it was because they knew they couldn't buy it, so they didn't dare to touch it.
Undoubtedly, the novelty and love in their eyes are very strong, so strong that if Qu Qing were rich, he might buy the entire stall of the merchant for them to play with.
Qu Qing flipped through the businessman's stuff, and his eyes couldn't help but stay on a small round mirror. He picked it up and looked at it. He was a little sad to find that he had only been here for four days and it turned black. The small glass mirror in his hand, to be honest, as a person who pays more attention to his appearance, he really wanted to buy it, but he had to give up after asking the price. This kind of thing is not very useful at present, although it is not very expensive, but Qu Qing Now I don't dare to use money indiscriminately. After all, the ghost knows when he is sick and needs money. He has no stable source of income now.
"Daddy, there's candy..."
Suddenly, Qu Xin's longing voice came from beside him. Qu Qing looked up and saw Hua Zizhou nervously telling Xiao Qu Xin to shut up and stop talking nonsense.
Hua Zizhou didn't want Qu Qing to think that he and Qu Xin were greedy people who couldn't make a living. Facing Qu Qing's gaze, he hurriedly explained to the kitten, saying that he didn't want to eat it, but the child was just curious to take a look. .
In fact, how could he not want to eat? Even Hua Zizhou wanted to eat to death. From childhood to adulthood, he only ate candy a few times when his father was still alive when he was a child. Later, his father died in the battlefield and his family became poor. , He was annoying again, so he never ate candy again. The only time his sister got married was when he got two candies, which he then shared with the cat.
In fact, when I think about it carefully, the kitten, who is now four years old, has only eaten candy once.
Qu Qing looked at Hua Zizhou, and saw that although he refused very firmly, he couldn't help looking at the candy wrapped in colored oil paper, and swallowed very slightly, while Jiang Zhu next to him was much more straightforward. Watching the candy and snacks in the shopkeeper's basket and drooling, don't make the sound too obvious.
Seeing that the three of them were obviously greedy, but none of them took the initiative to ask for it, they were a complete mess.
Qu Qing has never lived much since he was a child, and it can almost be said that in his life before the age of eighteen, his food, clothing, housing and transportation were the better ones among his peers. In childhood and youth, what he wanted, There is almost nothing to get, so he doesn't understand why they have such a strong desire for candy, but it's just ordinary candy.
Is it because you don't have it that you want it so much?
Just when the three of them reluctantly left to get the farm tools, Qu Qing asked the merchant who was about to leave: "How do you sell candy?"
"A penny and two."
It's really expensive, and it only costs a penny to buy seeds.
Even so, Qu Qing bought six cents directly, neither too much nor too little, but the willing trader was still a little surprised, after all, looking at Qu Qing, he was so poor that he shaved his hair and sold it, a mirror of five cents. They were reluctant to buy them, but in the end they were willing to spend six cents on candy, which is incredible.
In Qu Qing's hand, there are only a large handful of twelve candies, and it feels extraordinarily precious to hold. Obviously, when you want to eat candy in modern times, you won't feel this way with a few pounds of candy in your hand.
After the checkout, the merchant left, and the six eyes stared at the candy in his hand and couldn't move. They couldn't help but guess in their hearts, would he have one of the candies in his hand?
Seeing their cute and dumb children's actions, Qu Qing couldn't help but want to laugh, and then deliberately moved the candy in his hand to the left and right, and found that the eyes of the three people in front of him also followed the candy left and right.
Hua Zizhou seemed to be able to hold back some of his own desires, but the saliva of the other two little puddings was almost dripping on the ground. Qu Qing teased them for a while, and before he was about to be drowned in saliva, he closed his hands in time and smiled. , and solemnly distributed the candy to the hands of three people in turn and evenly.
"First, Xiao Quxin, four, then Jiang Zhu, come, you also have four, and then Hua Zizhou, you want to eat it too, the saliva comes out, then, take it." It is the vision of kindergarten teachers.
Hearing that he was drooling, Hua Zizhou was so frightened that he quickly touched his mouth, only to realize that what Qu Qing had just said was teasing him.
Seeing that Hua Zizhou clearly wanted to eat but was still planning to refuse, Qu Qing grabbed his hand and put the candy in his palm, not giving him the slightest chance to refuse.
Hua Zizhou's face was a little red, and seeing that Qu Qing's palm was empty, he stammered: "It's all given to us, what do you... eat? You should eat it, I don't want it."
Hua Zizhou counted the remaining two hundred and ninety pennies in his pocket, and felt the sense of security brought by the heavy copper coins. As he walked into the room, he said casually, "I have had tooth decay, and I don't like sugar. I just bought it for you, take it to eat, uh, I don’t have much money now, so I buy less, don’t dislike it.”
He went in to get the seeds, then looked around the house for places where he could hide money, and when he looked around, it seemed that only the wooden box for clothes was more suitable for hiding money, so he put all the money at the bottom of the box, and when he turned around, he saw Several people stood at the door staring at themselves in surprise, their eyes were not right.
Qu Qing scratched his head and asked hesitantly, "Shouldn't I put it here?"
"No," Jiang Zhu pointed at him in disbelief, "Why don't you hide money behind someone else's back?"
"I have my back to you." Qu Qing's words made Jiang Zhu angry. In fact, Qu Qing certainly knew what Jiang Zhu meant. After closing the box, he stood up and said to them, "Don't think about it, because I believe in you, so I don't. You need to be on guard, you will not live up to my expectations of you, right? Besides, this money is not earned by me alone, it is not my money, it is our family's money, understand."
Feeling a little numb in his words after speaking, Qu Qing rubbed the goose bumps on his arms and locked the door: "Okay, okay, I'm going to the fields, there is still a lot of work to do."
On the way to the field, Qu Qing clearly felt that the younger two were jumping and jumping, and the older Hua Zizhou, although restrained, could also feel that his footsteps were a lot lighter. What I said just now was because I had sugar, so I was in such a good mood.
But the children here are really easy to satisfy.
Qu Qing didn't realize that he had unknowingly regarded Hua Zizhou as a child who had not grown up.
Looking at the small group of people following her buttocks, Qu Qing had a strange feeling in her heart. She had only known them for a week, and Jiang Zhu, who came last, had only been here for twenty-four hours. In between, there is a feeling of intimacy and familiarity, just like a real family.
Is this the fate of the legend?
Thinking jumped, he suddenly remembered something important, so he turned his head and asked the only two adults behind him: "Zizhou, do you know how much a cow costs?"
When Qu Qing spoke to Hua Zizhou, Hua Zizhou couldn't help being nervous, his entire back froze, and he said dryly, "I heard the words of the calf, Sanguanqian is on the left and right."
"How much money is there consistently?"
Hua Zizhou thought it was a bit strange for him to ask this, but he answered honestly: "One thousand pennies is equal to consistent money."
"How many taels of silver is the usual money?"
Jiang Zhu couldn't bear it anymore, and said with disgust, "Why are you so stupid, you don't even know that? Money is always a tael of silver."
Qu Qing was not at all right, and said with a candid face: "I used to be a prostitute, and I spent a lot of money. This kind of consistency has never been taken seriously before."
When he said this, several people remembered that the only big brick house in the village was defeated by Qu Qing, and immediately believed his words. Said to be a few hundred taels.
Qu Qing calculated in his mind that only three thousand yuan could buy a calf. It seemed that he was still far away from buying a calf. His heart ached, and he complained depressedly why he didn't wear it back to the time when the original owner was not prosperous.
When he arrived in the field, Qu Qing suddenly realized that something was wrong: "Where's the candy I just gave you? It's all over so quickly? Why didn't I seem to see you peel it off?"
Xiao Qu Xin hesitated for a while before answering: "I... can't bear to eat it, so I'll wait to save it for my father's birthday and the Chinese New Year."
Hua Zizhou whispered next to him: "Candy is very precious, let's keep it for the New Year and the festival."
Jiang Zhu also lowered his head and said, "I also keep it for later."
He thought that he had no father, and in the future this kind of thing can't be wanted like before, so he saved it.
Qu Qing looked at these half-sized people who were reluctant to eat two candies, and couldn't tell what it was like.
He walked over and took out a candy from Xiao Qu Xin's pocket, opened it and ate it for him, then stared at the other two, threatening: "Eat it, or wait for me to feed them one by one."
Hua Zizhou's ears turned red, and he hurriedly took out the candy, peeled it off, and put the candy in his mouth.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhu also took it out and ate it.
Qu Qing felt a little more comfortable now, and said to a few people: "If you store it and put it away, it's not worth buying. If you like it, I'll buy it for you next time the seller comes."
He turned around and continued digging, swearing in his heart that he must find a way to make money, otherwise the day would be too sad, grass.
Qu Qing didn't know yet that he bought candy for everyone, but the only thing he didn't do was to buy it for himself, which moved the people behind him.
If they knew modern songs, they would definitely match Qu Qing with "My Old Father" in their hearts.
Qu Ting wanted to hit someone.
