Qi Qingxi and the others walked out of the county government office, and Tu Erbo couldn't help being overjoyed with the certificate of the government office's seal.

Qi Qingxi congratulated him: "Uncle Tu, you have obtained the seal of the yamen, so you can sell beef in the vegetable market openly and aboveboard."

Tu Erbo thanked Qi Qingxi, his voice was a little excited: "Really... Thank you so much for your help."

If it wasn't for this girl's help, they don't know how long they would have to work.

Qi Qingxi was about to say goodbye to the uncle and nephew of the Tu family. She was delayed a lot of time because of Uncle Tu. It was already noon now, and the children were still waiting for her to cook. She had to go buy some vegetables and go back. Delay any longer.

Before Qi Qingxi could speak, Tu Qiang pointed to a man and a woman in front of a carriage: "Second uncle, it's the eldest brother and sister-in-law."

Tu Erbo nodded to the two of them, and then looked at Qi Qingxi: "I heard from Qiangzi that you were going to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. I'm really sorry for delaying you for so long. It happened that my son and daughter-in-law drove over in a carriage. If you don't like this car, I will send you there."

This cart is very similar to Carpenter Xie's, and it has no roof. Uncle Tu Erbo and the others borrowed it from the same village to pull beef.

They cut the beef into large pieces and put them in large wooden barrels for easy transportation. Although the beef was packed in barrels, the car still inevitably smelled of blood.

Of course Qi Qingxi doesn't mind, she is in a hurry now.

Several people got into the car and rushed to the market. Tu Erbo asked Tu Boss and his wife why they came here.

"Mother asked us to come here."

Boss Tu, his wife and Uncle Tu's daughter-in-law were originally waiting for Uncle Tu to go to the county government to issue a certificate to go back.

But Uncle Tu's daughter-in-law was really worried about her husband and Tu Qiang, so she asked the couple to drive over to have a look, and if the situation was not right, they would quickly pull him back.

Unexpectedly, Boss Tu was not familiar with the roads in the county town, even after asking people for directions, he turned around for a long time before finding the county government office. When he arrived at the county government office, he did not see Erbo Tu and the others at all, so he could only guard at the door.

"Your mother is just worrying about it. How can the county government be so scary? I didn't come out with all my beard and tail, and I got a seal from the official."

Qi Erbo couldn't help complaining that his daughter-in-law was too busy, as if he wasn't the one who didn't dare to go to the county government to issue a certificate before.

Qi Qingxi thought of the cow dying of dystocia, and asked them what they would do with farming in the future, whether they had to buy another cow.

Qi Erbo told her that the cow is gone but the calf is still alive, and after one or two years of raising it, it will be able to go to the field to help.

A few people chatted for a while, and soon arrived at the vegetable market.

Near lunch, most people who buy vegetables come to buy vegetables before cooking, except in the early morning.

Qi Qingxi asked Tu Erbo and the others to quickly sell meat at this time, while she went to buy some other vegetables and then went home to cook.

She originally wanted to buy some beef back home, but she had just helped others, and the Tu family would definitely not take her money when she mentioned the matter of buying meat at this time, she didn't want to take advantage of others for nothing.

I can only wait for the next time I have a chance to buy some beef and go back to try it.

Qi Qingxi walked around and found that there was a stall selling spices in the market.

She rushed over immediately, there were star anise, cinnamon bark, fragrant leaves and peppercorns, even cumin, and some that she couldn't name.

She picked up a handful of small grains and sniffed it. The smell was very familiar, and the stall owner told her it was pepper.

Qi Qingxi suddenly realized that it wasn't that she had never seen peppercorns before, but she was used to using ground pepper powder, so she didn't realize that it was pepper.

After looking at it for a while, Qi Qingxi bought a small bag of all the spices he knew.

As for those who don't know, she plans to bring a pen and paper to ask the stall owner next time before buying and writing their names.

Qi Qingxi repeatedly confirmed with the stall owner before leaving the stall, and the stall owner repeatedly replied that she would keep setting up the stall here before leaving.

There is no way, she can't do without these cooking spices if she wants to open a restaurant and do business. After finally finding a seller with a complete range of spices, she must check the location carefully, so as not to find a place to buy these things when she gets it.

Qi Qingxi went to the meat stall and chopped half a catty of pork belly and half a catty of pork ribs. It was a pity not to make braised pork with so much spice. As for the pork ribs, she planned to stew some soup to drink.

It just so happened that she saw someone selling sun-dried peanuts again. She bought some and thought it would be good to make peanut soup.

There are still a lot of vegetables at home, so I don't need to buy them for now.

She wandered around again casually, had nothing to buy, and was about to go home.

Qi Qingxi went back from the exit of the vegetable market in the morning, and that road was closer to home.

She saw a familiar figure under the shade tree before, it was Tu Qiang, and he was holding a lotus leaf bag in his hand.

Tu Qiang was ordered by his second uncle to deliver beef to Qi Qingxi. When he saw Qi Qingxi coming out of the vegetable market and smiling at him, he couldn't help but blush.

He had been worrying about selling beef just now, and he hadn't noticed that this girl was so good-looking. The key was that she was beautiful and kind-hearted, just like the fairy in the play who went down to the earth to help mortals overcome disasters.

Thinking of this, he started to stutter: "Gu... aunt... girl, this... this is... this is me... this is from my second uncle."

Qi Qingxi was a little puzzled, when this person asked her if she wanted to buy beef, his mouth was quite sharp, but how long did he stutter, and his face became more and more red.

Could it be heat stroke?

This heat stroke can be big or small, mild cases can be cured by drinking saliva, taking a rest to cool down and breathe, and if it is serious, it may even be life-threatening.

"What's wrong with you? Is there something wrong? Shall I take you to the hospital?"

Seeing Qi Qingxi asking such a question, Tu Qiang was relieved.

He cleared his throat, looking a little uncomfortable, but he no longer stammered: "I'm fine, girl, this is the beef that my second uncle asked me to bring to you, thank you for your help."

He handed Qi Qingxi a large bag of beef wrapped in lotus leaves.

Qi Qingxi didn't answer: "I just took a few extra steps, it's not a help, how can I accept your thank you gift."

Tu Qiang stuffed the lotus leaf bag into Qi Qingxi's hand: "Second Uncle said that if it weren't for you, maybe all of us would have gone in. You must take it, otherwise he will feel uneasy."

Seeing the refusal, Qi Qingxi had no choice but to accept it: "I can accept it, but I still have to pay."

Tu Qiang was about to say no, Qi Qingxi spoke first: "Well, how about you think I'm cheaper? Otherwise, I will definitely not accept it, otherwise I will not feel at ease."

Tu Qiang thought for a while, then nodded: "Then... okay."

The current price of beef is cheaper than that of pork. In order to prohibit the people from slaughtering farm cattle and limit the expansion of the beef market, the government deliberately suppressed the price of beef.

Qi Qingxi weighed the beef in his hand, it was about four or five catties, Qi Qingxi gave Tu Qiang four coins, but Tu Qiang only took one coin from Qi Qingxi and ran away quickly.

"Wait, don't go, I have something to tell you."
