Farming in another world to make a fortune

"It's not Fulang!" After a few days of understanding and Chen Feng's science popularization, Yu Zhou already knew what Fulang meant, so he couldn't just say nothing, otherwise it would be the same as tacitly acquiescing his relationship with Jinchuan.

He doesn't care, but Jin Chuan is different, how important brother's reputation is, you can see from Fang's reaction after learning that he helped Jin Chuan take off his coat on the first day.

After he finished speaking, he quickly glanced at Jin Chuan, seeing that Jin Chuan's expression seemed a little strange, but there was no sign of anger, so he couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

But I don't know if he read it wrong, Jin Chuan's ears seemed to be a little red.

Yu Zhou felt a little worried, afraid that he would be misunderstood like this again, and he would not be able to justify not being responsible to Jin Chuan.

The reason why the guy thinks that the brother behind Yu Zhou is his husband is not only because they walk together as a man, but also because of the distance between the two of them when they walk, and the way they look when they occasionally meet. basis for his judgment.

In the end, Yu Zhou actually said no, which inevitably made him feel puzzled.

However, he has been working as a clerk in the book store since he was a teenager, and he has seen many people and has strong adaptability. When Yu Zhou said no, he immediately changed his words: "Those two, go slowly."

After coming out of the book shop, Yu Zhou thought about the look in the guy's eyes just now, and after thinking for a while, he pretended that there were too many pedestrians on the street and it was difficult to walk, and deliberately took a step behind, not walking side by side with Jin Chuan.

Jin Chuan found out immediately, and his heart sank slightly.

He... doesn't like Yu Zhou keeping a distance like this.

Since the moment he heard that Yu Zhou was going to withdraw his marriage certificate yesterday, the petty thoughts he had tried so hard to forget before had made a comeback, and there was a tendency to take root and sprout, growing and flourishing.

He can see that Yu Zhou doesn't have that kind of thought about him now, and he knows that Yu Zhou doesn't hate him, that's enough. Anyway, the two of them are together most of the time every day. Jin Chuan believes that after getting along for a long time, things There will always be a day when it will come to fruition.

But the premise is that Yu Zhou can't intentionally alienate him.

After pondering for a moment, he had an idea.

In the next place where there are more pedestrians, Jin Chuan spotted a brother who was walking with his head bowed, and when the two were about to approach, he turned his head to talk to Yu Zhou.

One didn't watch the road carefully, and the other did it on purpose, and sure enough, they collided into each other the next moment.

Leaving aside the ancient towns in the tourist area, this is the first time Yu Zhou visited an ancient town in the true sense. Along the way, apart from reminding himself to keep a polite distance from Jinchuan, his eyes were always attracted by the surrounding scenery, and he didn’t look at it at all. How did Jinchuan collide with the people next to him?

When he heard the sound and looked over, Jin Chuan had already separated from the brother who bumped into each other, and the two were apologizing to each other.

Yu Zhou waited for them to finish talking, then gave Jinchuan to a place with few people on the outside of the road, and said in a low voice, "Why don't you look at the road when you walk?"

Jin Chuan was already prepared, so naturally he would not be asked, "I just wanted to see where there is a place that sells embroidery thread."

"Do you want to buy embroidery thread?" The brother who was bumped by Jinchuan just now hadn't gone far, and pointed to the front right after hearing it, "Go from there, there is a cloth shop around the corner."

"Thank you." Jin Chuan bumped into this person just now, although he only gave it lightly, but he did it on purpose. He felt guilty at first, but when he heard this person giving him directions, he felt even more embarrassed. Say it again, "I'm sorry just now."

"It's okay." The brother smiled at Jin Chuan, then turned and left.

When walking forward again, Jin Chuan was let by Yu Zhou to the outside, no longer one in front and one behind.

The road is only that wide, and it is impossible for Yu Zhou to walk in the middle, so no matter how wide the distance between the two is, it can only be that far.

Seeing this result, Jin Chuan was very satisfied.

After knowing the specific location of Buzhuang, the two walked quickly.

Yu Zhou didn't know anything about needlework at all, so just like when Jin Chuan accompanied him to the academy just now, he just followed behind and didn't speak.

Knowing that they were going to buy embroidery thread, the shopkeeper took the two of them to the counter, brought out a tray containing silk threads of various colors, and asked Jin Chuan, "Guest officer, let's see what colors are needed."

Jin Chuan twisted a bit of silk thread with his fingers and squeezed it. After checking the thickness of the thread, he pointed to several colors and asked, "How much is each bunch of these?"

"Three papers in red, five papers in yellow..." The shopkeeper said after counting them all, "If you take the same bundle, it will be nineteen papers in total."

Jin Chuan didn't say he wanted to buy it, but asked again, "What about the embroidery needles?"

When Mrs. Chen gave him the cloth yesterday, she also gave him some cotton thread and a needle, but the needle was quite big, and it was only suitable for sewing clothes and quilts, not embroidery.

"Five pieces of embroidery needles." The shopkeeper said.

Embroidery thread and needles cost 24 Wen, but Jin Chuan only borrowed [-] Wen from Yu Zhou, and I don't know if the stretcher shop will give it to me later.

He pondered for a while, picked two colors that would be used less and asked, "Can I only buy half a bunch of these two?"

The shopkeeper smiled and shook his head, "Sorry, there is at least one bundle of embroidery thread in this store, and we don't sell it separately."

"I see." Jin Chuan nodded, looking back and forth between several silk threads for a moment, thinking about which one could be omitted.

Seeing his frowned and troubled look, Yu Zhou couldn't bear it, but it was only a few pennies, so he said, "I'll lend you a few more pennies."

Jin Chuan looked at the embroidery thread in his hand, then looked up at Yu Zhou, "Thank you."

Then he turned to the shopkeeper and said, "A bunch of each of these kinds of embroidery thread, and an embroidery needle, and you give me a four-inch stretcher."

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, you can buy from me next time when you run out of embroidery thread."

Jin Chuan responded, and then asked: "I wonder if the shopkeeper accepts embroidered purses and handkerchiefs here?"

The shopkeeper paused for a while when he took things. In addition to selling cloth and embroidery thread, he also sells ready-made clothes, purses and handkerchiefs, and he also accepts some, but...

He looked Jin Chuan up and down, and stayed on Jin Chuan's hand for a while, before he said: "We will accept it, but our shop has always had high requirements for embroidery patterns and embroidery workers."

"Then I'll bring it over when I'm done embroidering, and let the shopkeeper see if it's up to standard." Although Jin Chuan said it politely, his smile and eyes were full of absolute confidence.

Seeing his appearance, the shopkeeper also smiled, and simply replied: "Success."

After the shopkeeper wrapped the things Jin Chuan needed, Jin Chuan took out the twenty coins from him, and Yu Zhou also took out four coins from his purse.

When the shopkeeper saw the purse in Yu Zhou's hand, the merchant's sensitivity made him blurt out, "Do you want to buy a purse, sir?"

After finishing speaking, I felt that I was simply asking too much. There was a brother who could embroider flowers next to me. How could I need to buy a purse that can be used by sewing.

But then I realized that what this person said just now was to borrow a few more pennies from that brother, and the stitches on the hole in his money bag were crooked like spiders, so it was definitely not the handwriting of the brother next to him.

Maybe he can really sell this purse?

"No need." Yu Zhou refused without thinking, but it wasn't because the shopkeeper thought that Jin Chuan could sew him a money bag or something, but because he didn't have much money at all and wanted a beautiful money bag for him. What.

The one he is using now is also what he dug out from the cabinet. Although it is torn and tattered, it has been sewn and mended, but it can be used.

After that, the two went to the grain and oil shop again.

Although they should still be able to eat the rice that Aunt Chen gave them for two to three days, they don’t know how many days it will be before he comes to town after copying the book. It’s better to buy some and keep it at home than to have nothing to eat .

Yu Zhou inquired about the prices, and learned that brown rice cost four cents a catty and white rice cost five cents a catty, so he asked for five catties each.

A total of ten catties of rice was enough for the two of them to eat for five or six days, plus the rest of the family, Yu Zhou finally felt a little relieved.

By the time the rice is finished, his two books should have been copied...

Originally, Yu Zhou wanted to buy some salt, but when he learned that it would cost [-] Wen a catty, and the rest of the family could last for ten days and a half months, he gave up.

After leaving the oil and grain shop, Yu Zhou only had 31 Wen coins left on him.

Holding the light purse, he sighed deeply, life without money is really hard for him.

Especially when I went to meet Uncle Chen and the others, I saw Uncle Chen and Chen Feng buying meat in front of the pork shop from a distance, and the feeling was even more profound.

Because...he was hungry.

Yu Zhou sighed silently, pinched the purse again, and walked over, "Uncle Chen is buying meat?"

"Well, the family hasn't eaten meat for a long time," Uncle Chen said, "Your aunt asked me to bring some back."

After speaking, he paid the money and took a piece of pork belly from the butcher.Thinking that Yu Zhou should have some spare money, he asked again, "What about you? Do you want to buy some too?"

Yu Zhou nodded, looked at the butcher, "How do you sell the meat?"

The butcher quickly replied: "Fat meat is twenty cents a catty, pork belly is eighteen, lean meat is sixteen, and ribs are fourteen."

Yu Zhou was taken aback when he heard the price, but he quickly realized that in this era of lack of clothing and food, fat meat is indeed more expensive.

But even the cheapest ribs cost fourteen cents a catty.

He glanced at the pork stall, his eyes stopped on the pork liver and the cleanly shaved bones in the corner, and asked, "What about these?"

The butcher said: "Pork liver is ten cents a catty, and bones are five cents."

"Half a catty of pork liver and a catty of bones," Yu Zhou said.

Pork liver can replenish blood, and the bone soup is also nutritious. As for meat, it’s not that he can’t afford it. After all, he still has 31 coins on him, but he is not the kind of character who will spend all his money, and he has no spare money. Feeling very insecure around you.

So wait until the next time you copy the book and make money before buying it.

When Yu Zhou bought these things, Jin Chuan stayed by his side and didn't speak, let alone put forward any opinions.

But when he got home, he said as soon as he put down his things, "I'm going to tidy up the embroidery threads I bought."

They went out early today, did not delay in town, and arrived home before lunch time.

Yu Zhou also wanted to squeeze in more time to copy books, so he said, "Then I'll sort out the pen and ink as well."

So Jin Chuan went back to his side room, and Yu Zhou went to the main house.

What Yu Zhou brought back from the book shop was not only a storybook and two blank booklets, but also a pen, an inkstone and an ink.

He had just finished arranging his things and was about to bring some water back to grind ink when he heard Jin Chuan knock on the door of the main house, poked his head in and asked, "I want to ask you something, if it's you, buy a handkerchief Like sachets, what kind of flowers and plants would you like to embroider?"
