He Changji explained: "The hook sawdust."

"?" Shao Qingyi didn't understand carpentry, so she didn't react for a while.

He Changji made a simple gesture: "For example, a piece of wood of this size needs to be hollowed out, and wood chips will sometimes get stuck in it, so you need to use a long hook to hook out the wood chips."

"Oh oh oh!" Shao Qingyi was stunned, thinking that this is the wisdom of the ancient working people.

Hey, if this is placed in modern times, what tools will be used?Electric drill?

Shao Qingyi put aside all these miscellaneous thoughts: "Okay, since we've finished buying, the next stop is to buy a pen for Qing Cheng."

"Thank you, second brother!" Shao Qingcheng was very excited when he heard the words.

Buy whatever you want!This is too happy!

Arriving at the Four Treasures Shop of the Study Room, Shao Qingcheng felt the happiness of being rich for the first time when he grew up so big. He picked and looked at it like crazy, which shocked Shao Qingyi, who had today's money bag, for fear that he would throw it away when he was really excited. Everything in the store is packed.

Fortunately, Shao Qingcheng has been in school for several years, and the teacher in the school taught him to be very upright. In this regard, he was not influenced by Shao's mother. Even if it was such a good opportunity, he didn't want to open his mouth like a lion. It was only after reluctantly choosing the pen that I wanted the most.

"Are you sure it's this one?" Shao Qingyi confirmed, "You don't want the others?"

"En." Shao Qingcheng nodded.

There are many craftsmen in Shuiwan Village, and Shao Qingcheng actually has all the daily necessities and the four treasures of the study, and the prices are relatively cheap. It's just that many things in the village can't keep up with the trend of the times, so Shao Qingcheng wants to buy a pen in Fucheng.

The two children also followed the trend and said they wanted to buy a pen, but after looking around, they didn't buy the pen, but each bought two picture books.

"I want Father Mu to read it to us~" the two children said sweetly to Shao Qingyi.

Shao Qingyi's heart turned into honey when she heard the words, and immediately responded with a smile: "Okay, Father Mu will read you a story tonight."

Taking advantage of the time the children were choosing, Shao Qingyi also flipped through the books here.

Last time he wanted to buy a calligraphy practice book, so he didn't pay attention to the other books in the store.

Now that he has learned some more characters and has free time, of course he is free to be careful.

This store specializes in the Four Treasures of the Study.

The four treasures of the study of the children of the aristocratic family all have regular suppliers, so the customers of this store are basically people from well-to-do families.

These common people have young children in their homes, but they are not from a scholarly family and do not have a reserve of the Four Treasures of the Study, so they can only come to this kind of store to buy.

Because the customer group is children, the books placed in this store are picture books, story books and the like for children.

Most of the scholars in this country cannot become officials.

Those scholars who have no other skills, lack the strength to open private schools, and don’t want to do hard work, will write some drama books, ghost stories, etc. to earn income.

There are also some scholars who specialize in drawing picture books, and these picture books are very popular among children.

Shao Qingyi looked at the picture books sold in the store, and was surprised to find that more than half of them were written by an author whose pseudonym was Mr. Chazhu.

The two books selected by Cheng Heisei An are also works of this Mr. Chazhu.

Shao Qingyi asked curiously: "Chengping Chengan, there are so many books, why did you choose these two?"

Cheng An replied first: "Because it looks good~"

Cheng Ping also nodded: "I also think the cover of my book is the prettiest!"

Shao Qingyi tells stories to the children every day these days, and knows what the two children like.

Cheng Ping has a dream of being a hero, and he likes characters like gold and iron horses, heroes and generals who wanton in the rivers and lakes, while Cheng An likes flowers, plants, and cute animals.

The covers of the two books they chose are in line with their respective aesthetics.

Cheng Ping's book had a swordsman on a horse on the cover, while Cheng An's book was a small courtyard full of flowers.

Shao Qingyi looked back again. The cover of Mr. Chazhu's work seemed to be more vivid and colorful than other authors.

I just don't know if the story inside is as attractive as the cover.

Shao Qingyi flipped through it casually, and after confirming that there was nothing inappropriate for children in these two picture books, she paid the bill.

He Changji had been waiting in the car because of his limited mobility. When he saw a few people coming back, he asked with a smile, "What did you buy?"

The two children naturally chatted and showed the picture book they bought to their father, and Shao Qingcheng also took out the pen he picked out with a bit of a show-off mentality.

He Changji praised: "It's all good, everyone has a good eye."

Suddenly, his eyes fixed on the cover of the picture book that Cheng Ping bought.

"Is there anything wrong with this book?" Shao Qingyi was a little puzzled.

"It's nothing." He Changji shook his head and returned the picture book to Cheng Ping.

Shao Qingyi felt that He Changji seemed a little weird in the afternoon.

Shao Qingyi quietly observed He Changji a few times, doesn't she seem to be in a bad mood?

Is it...

Shao Qingyi thought for a long time, and suddenly a word popped up in her mind: Social terror?

He met a student father who was socially phobic.

The student's mother is usually responsible for picking up the child, but that day the student's mother had something to do, and the student's father had to take care of the child by himself. That was the first time Shao Qingyi met the student's father.

At that time, he had probably been waiting outside the kindergarten for a while. When he received the child, he was sweating profusely and looked anxious.

Shao Qingyi originally wanted to take the opportunity to talk to him about the child's usual performance in the kindergarten, but the father picked up the child and ran away as if a ghost was chasing after him.

If the child's mother hadn't contacted Shao Qingyi in advance and sent him the photo of the child's father, Shao Qingyi almost thought it was a trafficker and wanted to call the police.

Later, Shao Qingyi communicated with the child's mother again, and Shao Qingyi learned from the child's mother that, in fact, the child's father's social fear was not so serious before, but he was just not sociable.

But since he became a freelancer two years ago, he has become more and more socially afraid since he does not go out or socialize at home every day.So the child's mother is trying to get him to go out and find a job before this situation gets worse.

Shao Qingyi thought about He Changji's state in the past few years. Although he was not as exaggerated as that child's father, he still stayed in Shuiwan Village and never traveled far, right?

So, it is likely that he has some social phobia because he is not used to the prosperity of Fucheng?

The more Shao Qingyi thought about it, the more she felt that the possibility was extremely high, so she felt that she should take He Changji out for a walk in the future.

He said aloud: "Later we are going to Beiwang Market to purchase, there are many people and the roads are narrow, and horse-drawn carriages cannot pass, so we have to get out of the car and walk."

When He Changji heard the words, he was about to say that he was waiting for everyone in the carriage, but Shao Qingyi continued: "It's rare for everyone to come out, let's see more of the long experience together! Especially Chang Ji, you should have five Haven't you been out of the village for a year? It's a rare trip to Fucheng, and it's so boring to stay in the carriage all the time!"

He Changji opened his mouth, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Shao Qingyi again: "What's more, there are so many people in Beiwang Market, I can't take care of three children by myself, even if you help me Take care of the kids, too."

After Shao Qingyi said that, He Changji had no choice but to respond: "Okay."

So, a group of people got out of the carriage together.

As Shao Qingyi said, there are many people looking north to the market.

Shao Qingyi carried a pannier and led Cheng Ping and Shao Qingcheng, while He Changji led Cheng An on crutches.

It was the first time for the three children to come here. Seeing so many products and bustling people, they all blushed with excitement, like little apples.

Shao Qingcheng was still a little calmer, but Cheng Ping and Cheng An couldn't help but keep asking "What's this?" "What's that?" Such questions sometimes stumped Shao Qingyi.

Suddenly, they found a circle of people not far in front of them.

What is this doing?

Shao Qingyi surrounded it curiously, but because she was not tall, she couldn't know what was going on inside from the three layers inside and outside, so she could only pat the shoulder of a man next to her and asked him what happened inside.

Hearing this, the man replied: "There is a barbarian merchant selling things from the Western Regions. The big guys have never seen it before, and they are all watching the fun!"

Hu merchant?

He Changji, who was a few steps behind, frowned when he heard this, why did Hu merchants come to Fucheng?

But Shao Qingyi showed a surprised expression.

A Hu merchant from the Western Regions, does that mean he might be able to buy what he wants?

Thinking of such things, Shao Qingyi became extremely excited.

There were too many people here, so Shao Qingyi simply handed over the two children and the pannier on his back to He Changji for safekeeping, and squeezed into the crowd by herself.

Squeezing in such a huge body of Shao Qingyi will inevitably affect many onlookers.

There were bursts of abuse from around, but Shao Qingyi didn't care at all.

He is now full of ingredients that are so versatile that many dishes would lose their soul without it.

With great difficulty, he finally squeezed to the innermost layer.

Without time to observe other things, all Shao Qingyi's eyes were attracted by the bright red ingredients on the cart.

chili!Really chili!

Shao Qingyi's cheeks flushed with excitement, he actually saw the chili so soon!

With chili, all kinds of Sichuan and Hunan dishes have soul!With chili, he can cook more delicious food!

In addition to chili, there were black pepper, white pepper and other seasonings on the trolley, and there were also some powdery things. Shao Qingyi suspected that it might be curry powder, but it was hard to confirm without smelling it.

The Hu merchant who sells these things is a Hu man wearing a felt hat and a thick leather jacket.In this weather, it is not too stuffy to wear such thick clothes.He has more three-dimensional and deeper facial features than Liang Guoren, his pupil color is similar to Liang Guoren's, they are all brown, and his lush beard covers half of his face.

At this time, he was using a strange tone, enthusiastically introducing his products to the people around: "Look at this glass bowl, this is a rare treasure that we only have there, it is like the incarnation of the goddess of beauty , colorful and radiant in the sun!"

While speaking, he raised the glazed bowl in his hand, and the glazed bowl was as he said, colorful and radiant under the sun.

All the people watching said "Wow--" in unison.

"This glazed bowl is so beautiful!"

"It looks good, but it's useless if you buy it. Is it just a bowl?"

"No, this kind of thing is probably only bought by the aristocratic family."

Shao Qingyi rushed out of the crowd at this moment of discussion: "I, I want to buy something."

It took a lot of physical strength for Shao Qingyi to squeeze out from the crowd, so much so that he was a little breathless when speaking.

When the merchant Hu heard that Shao Qingyi wanted to buy it, he couldn't help being overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "Do you want to buy a glazed bowl?"

"No, I want to buy this." Shao Qingyi pointed to the pepper and said.

Hu Shang couldn't help showing a look of disappointment when he heard the words. These are just incidental commodities, and expensive commodities such as glass bowls can make him more profitable.

But soon, his disappointment faded away.

Anyway, it's always a good thing when someone comes to buy something!

So he resumed his enthusiasm just now: "This is called chili pepper, and it is a medicine used to treat cold and fever."

drug?Shao Qingyi was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that peppers were indeed used as medicine and ornamental plants in the past.

The price of medicines in this world is not low. Isn't this pepper expensive?

"What about these?" Shao Qingyi pointed to black pepper, white pepper, and yellow-green powder.

"This is black pepper, this is white pepper, and this is curry powder. These are all condiments. After adding this, the broth will be very delicious." Na Hushang introduced.

Shao Qingyi found that besides these, there were several leather bags beside them, and asked, "What are these bags containing?"

"Here are the seeds of vegetables and fruits that are unique to our Western Regions. All the seeds I brought are mixed together, and I can't remember exactly what is in each bag. In short, all the bags are one hundred cents a bag Seeing that Shao Qingyi asked this question but didn't intend to buy it, the Hu businessman couldn't help being a little angry. Could it be that the fat man came here to make him happy?

When Shao Qingyi heard this, her eyes lit up.

Will the unique seeds of the Western Regions have the vegetables and fruits he wants?

"Is the seed in each bag different?" Shao Qingyi asked again.

"Yes, these seeds are all mixed and stored, there will be repetitions, but the number and type of seeds in each bag are different." There are no other guests, and this Hu businessman can only patiently explain to Shao Qingyi.

"Can I open it and have a look?" Shao Qingyi asked again.

"Yes." Hu Shang nodded.

Shao Qingyi opened a leather bag and looked inside.

Soon, he identified several common seeds: corn, watermelon, tomato!

There were more seeds he didn't recognize.

But these few things alone were enough to make him excited.

"I want a bag of seeds." Shao Qingyi took the leather bag in her hand without saying a word.

Hu Shang, who finally opened his business, finally showed a bright smile on his face: "Okay."

"How do you sell these?" Shao Qingyi asked the prices of chili and black pepper.

"Chili, 50 cents a tael, black pepper 10 cents a tael, white pepper is the same price, curry powder 30 cents a tael." After a deal was made, the Hu merchant's attitude towards Shao Qingyi became much better.

Hearing the price, Shao Qingyi couldn't help but feel heartbroken, it's much more expensive than ordinary rice noodles!

But if I miss this Hu merchant, I don’t know when I will encounter these products again next time. Shao Qingyi gritted her teeth and made a decision immediately: "I will buy a catty of this pepper, and buy a couple of others."

Seeing that Shao Qingyi was so generous and bought things that he had never seen before, the Hu merchant decided that Shao Qingyi was a good customer with a lot of money and money, so he took the opportunity to sell and said: "My guest, look at this crystal clear glass bowl, it is really beautiful. , and it only costs five taels of silver, which is very affordable, do you want to have a few too?"

"I don't need this." Shao Qingyi ruthlessly rejected Hu Shang's promotion, pointed to another bag of seeds and said, "I bought so many things at your house, you can give me another bag of seeds."

Hu Shang didn't expect that this seemingly stupid customer with a lot of money and no bargaining was not only not interested in glass bowls like the people around him, but he also liked to buy one and get three free.

"This, this won't work, won't I be at a loss?" Hu Shang waved his hands repeatedly.

"No?" Shao Qingyi asked.

"No." Hu Shang was categorical.

"Really not?" Shao Qingyi asked again.

"I really don't want to give it away." Hu Shang stood firm.

"That's fine, I don't want any of these." Shao Qingyi put back all the products she had just picked out.

"Hey wait, how can you just say no?" Hu Shang was in a hurry.

"You don't even want to give a gift, so I don't want it." Shao Qingyi said as a matter of course, "Isn't it all about your love and my willingness? Since you are not willing to give it, I am not willing to buy it. It's so simple. Well, you say yes!"

"This, this..." The Hu merchant hesitated for a while, Shao Qingyi guessed that it was his first time in business and he was not familiar with various routines, so he was about to leave without looking back, the Hu merchant saw this Sure enough, he was in a hurry, "I will send it, I will send it!"

Shao Qingyi knew that this Hu businessman would definitely compromise.

It is not easy for him to transport these commodities all the way. If they cannot be sold, it will be a blood loss. They must sell as much as they can.

The one-hundred-pence bag of seeds is actually the least valuable.

After all, many crops are very productive, and one plant can harvest many seeds.These seeds have no other use, and selling them together is a costless business, and the biggest cost is transportation.

So, Shao Qingyi bought a catty of chili, a tael of black pepper, a tael of white pepper, a tael of curry powder, a bag of seeds, and received another bag of seeds as a gift.

After buying these things, Shao Qingyi squeezed out of the crowd again.

Although He Changji was standing outside, he was tall, so he could still see what was going on inside. When he saw Shao Qingyi coming out, he went up to meet him and asked, "What are you buying these for?"

"Hey, these are good things, you'll know when the time comes!" Shao Qingyi put all the things she bought into the back basket.

This time he didn't bring the big backpack he had before, but changed to a smaller one.Put these things in, it takes up one-third of the space.

Shao Qingyi carried the basket on her back, held Cheng Ping and Shao Qingcheng's hands again, and said, "Let's go, let's go buy eggs now."

I bought eggs once when I came back last time, so Shao Qingyi led everyone to the poultry sales area familiarly.

Here, there are sellers of eggs and duck eggs, chickens and ducks, and big geese. Those big geese are quacking, loud and grumpy, and they are not easy to provoke.

Shao Qingyi walked to the previous stall where she bought eggs and duck eggs, and was about to buy them, when Shao Qingcheng asked curiously, "Second brother, why are you buying so many eggs and duck eggs? Aren't eggs spoiled easily?"

While picking out duck eggs, Shao Qingyi replied, "I'm going to use this duck egg to make salted duck eggs. If there are more, I'll make some preserved eggs. Eggs are usually eaten. If you eat more every day, it won't spoil easily."

After a pause, he said regretfully: "Actually, it would be the best if we could buy a laying hen to raise at home. Unfortunately, our village is too far away from the county town, so it is not convenient to take such a large hen home. , I can only wait until tomorrow spring to buy chicks.”

He Changji heard the words but said: "I have a way."

"Eh?" Shao Qingyi looked up at He Changji in surprise.

"You should buy duck eggs first, it's better to eat fresh eggs." He Changji made up his mind for Shao Qingyi.

"Do you really have a solution?" Although Shao Qingyi asked, she had already stood up and took the duck eggs in the bag to the vendor for weighing, not planning to buy any more eggs.

He Changji didn't answer, but walked slowly to the place where hens were sold, and asked, "How do you sell these chickens?"

The hen seller had heard the conversation between the couple before, and when He Changji came over, he replied enthusiastically, "150 Wen a piece, these are grass chickens that lay many eggs and are good at laying eggs. will suffer."

He Changji glanced lightly, then pointed to one of the chickens and said, "This is the one I want."

"Okay!" The peddler replied and grabbed He Changji's favorite hen from the coop.

The hen's wings were caught by the peddler and she couldn't move. Her two feet were flapping desperately, trying to escape the fate of being captured.

He Changji didn't answer directly, but said, "Give me a rope, please."

The peddler obeyed, took out a string from his pocket, and handed it to He Changji.

He Changji held the rope in one hand and grabbed the chicken's wings with the other. He quickly wrapped it a few times, and the hen was tightly wrapped up with its wings and feet, unable to move at all.

Shao Qingyi thought that He Changji was indeed a decathlon, and he was so proficient in binding.

Seeing the hen that was tied tightly and completely lost its freedom, he felt a little pity for it.

When the peddler saw He Changji's skill, he couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and said: "Sir, your skill is too good! I am willing to pay you a tael of silver a month's salary to hire you to help me tie up chickens and ducks. You see how about?"

He Changji and Shao Qingyi were taken aback when they heard the words, they didn't expect that tying a chicken would be valued for their skill.

Seeing that He Changji didn't speak, the peddler said, "Even if Mr. is disabled, I won't dislike it. With your skill just now, one tael a month is definitely worth it."

Shao Qingyi knew that the peddler regarded He Changji as a real disabled person, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "We appreciate your kindness, but my husband's leg injury is only temporary and will recover soon."

The peddler was a little unhappy: "Why are you so uneducated, I am talking to your man, how can you talk?"
