After leaving Zhao's mansion, although Zhou Du was puzzled by what Zhao Rong said, but seeing that Shen Xi was too embarrassed to look at him directly, walking with the same hands and feet all the way, he stopped asking.

There is no need to expose the childish tricks of children.

Shen Xi walked all the way, but he didn't see Zhou Du questioning him. After knowing that Zhou Du was planning to let him go, his mentality gradually calmed down.

Coming to the street where people come and go, Shen Xi suddenly asked: "I don't know when I will go to the town next time, do you have anything to buy?"

Shen Xi is a person who can't save money. Holding too much money in his hands always feels uneasy. It's better to spend the money and buy some ingredients to eat in his stomach. But if Zhou Du doesn't need it, then he will have to come again next time up.

Zhou Du raised his eyes and said without hesitation: "Yes."

Zhou Du is a person who pays attention to the quality of life. If he has no money, he can make do with it, but if he has money, he will never wrong himself.

Taoyuan Village is secluded, with simple folk customs, and everything is good, but the material conditions are too poor.

So before he went out, he deliberately took the silver with him.

One tael and one tael of small pieces of silver are easier to carry than copper coins, and he carried all of the more than 20 taels with him.

Shen Xi looked up at the sky, because Zhou Du delayed the meeting, it was getting late now, if he didn't act quickly, he would have to walk in the dark, so he had to discuss with Zhou Du: "I'll rent an ox cart first, By the way, you can go shopping alone, can you do some shopping?"

Zhou Du lowered his eyes, looked at the worry flickering in his eyes, his heart softened, and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I'm not a child."

Shen Xi thought about it for a while, so he said with confidence: "Then we will separate here, and we will gather under the town card later."

Zhou Du nodded: "Okay."

Shen Xi walked briskly for two steps, thought of something, turned back and reminded Zhou Du who was still standing there: "Silver is more valuable than copper plates, so one tael of silver is worth one thousand and one hundred copper coins. , you can’t be cheated by the store.”

Zhou Du raised his chin slightly, indicating that he made it clear.

After watching Shen Xi's back go away, Zhou Du brought bean bags into the crowd and started to buy them.

Buy a pair of exquisitely crafted thick-soled boots for five hundred cash.

Buy triple pairs.

Buy an oil lamp for [-] cents.

Buy ten.

I haven't finished buying oil lamps, but I also bought two exquisitely crafted lanterns.

Oil-paper umbrellas, basin stands, towel stands, clothes hangers, mats, mattresses, quilts, pillows, tents, as long as they are available and needed, I bought them all, without considering the option of saving money at all.

It wasn't until the money in Zhou Du's hands became lighter and lighter that he stopped and walked towards the cloth shop.

This time he listened to Shen Xi's suggestion last time, instead of buying expensive ready-made clothes, he bought two bolts of good-quality silver cloth instead.

The owner of the cloth shop obviously recognized Zhou Du. Although he didn't see Shen Xi who was very good at negotiating prices with Zhou Du last time, the owner of the cloth shop secretly gave Zhou Du the price last time.

Zhou Du pursed his lips, didn't say anything, and was about to leave after paying the bill, but the bean bag that followed him was lying under a piece of brightly colored cloth, unable to move his legs.

Zhou Du called it unhappily: "Doubao."

Only then did it reluctantly shake the dust off its body, and ran back to Zhou Du's feet.

Zhou Du was about to step out of the cloth shop with it, when he thought of something, he looked back at the fiery red cloth and paused.

He asked the owner of the cloth shop: "Can this red cloth also be made into regular clothes?"

The owner of the cloth shop smiled: "Of course, our Daqing is different from the previous dynasties. This and that are prohibited. As long as the clothes do not violate the regulations, the color does not need to be particular."

Zhou Du understood, and asked again: "How much is this horse?"

Cloth shop owner: "Two taels of favor."

Holding the only three taels of silver left, Zhou Du twirled it back and forth in his palm. It was a bit expensive, but it was not unacceptable.

Just about to open his mouth to buy it, the owner of the cloth shop probably saw Zhou Du's hesitation, and immediately explained: "Guest, you don't know, the brighter the color of this cloth, the harder it is to preserve it. Cloth is expensive, but it won’t fade after washing, so it’s not a problem to make clothes and wear them for three to five years.”

There was no expression on Zhou Du's face, he just said lightly: "Wrap it up."

"Okay, please wait a moment, customer." Seeing that Zhou Du had bought it readily, the owner of the cloth shop smiled from ear to ear, and quickly wrapped the red cloth for Zhou Du with a cloth bag, happy He happily welcomed Zhou Du out.

Zhou Du left the cloth shop, and the other shop workers who helped him carry things outside the cloth shop immediately followed his pace.

All the way to the town signboard in Anyang Town, Zhou Du caught a glimpse of Shen Xi waiting for him under the town signboard.

However, Zhou Du fell silent when he met the ox cart behind him with sacks so piled up that the cows could hardly be seen clearly.

Failed.

Forget that this is also a master who can spend money.

Shen Xi also saw Zhou Du at this moment, and was about to wave, when he saw a bunch of shop guys holding things behind him, and suddenly understood something, and silently retracted the hand he just raised.

sloppy.

Forget that this is also a master who can spend money.

The two were separated by the vast crowd, forgetting each other, silent, and neither of them took the lead.

"I... I'll rent another bullock cart." In the end, Shen Xi was the first to lose, and took the initiative to go forward and said to Zhou Du.

Zhou Du walked over, looked up at the sacks that were taller than him, raised his eyebrows and asked Shen Xi: "Is this what you said to buy?"

"A few," Shen Xi talked to Zhou Du while the ox cart brother said to add another ox cart, "There are still many that I didn't buy."

Zhou Du listened to his tone, as if he wanted to move this county home.

"What are they all about?" Zhou Du chatted with Shen Xi idly when the ox cart boy went back to call someone.

"This, this, this, and this, all are peppers, these are red beans, these are mung beans, these are soybeans..." Shen Xi pointed to each sack and introduced it to Zhou Du.

The other Zhou Du could quite understand it, but the chili pepper Zhou Du was puzzled: "Why do you buy so many chili peppers?"

"Cooking," Shen Xi replied naturally, and felt that Zhou Du must not be asking this question, and after thinking about it, he said, "The peppers in each sack are different. After turning into powder, there is only a little bit left.”

Zhou Du didn't know anything about the things in the kitchen, and when he learned that they were all seasonings and ingredients, he stopped asking.

After the ox cart brother found another ox cart, and everyone worked together to help Zhou Du move his belongings into the ox cart, Shen Xi looked at the wooden craftsmanship of the cart, hesitating to speak.

Zhou Du asked him: "What?"

Shen Xi asked angrily: "How much did you spend on these things?"

Zhou Du spread his hands and showed him the only piece of broken silver left in his hand.

Shen Xi asked incredulously: "Is this leftover?"

Zhou Du put away the silver and raised his jaw slightly.

"Just these things, you spent more than 20 taels?" Shen Xi glanced at the things on the bullock cart, and dared not make any noise, his voice was almost hoarse.

Zhou Du hummed and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shen Xi opened his eyes wide: "You have no foundation in the village now, and you don't have any money in your hands, how will you earn money to buy land and build houses in the future?"

After Zhou Du listened, his expression was calm: "Don't worry."

If the money is gone, you can earn it again.

Shen Xi felt extremely annoyed: "And I know how to do these things, you didn't need to spend this money."

Looking at his young face, Zhou Du suddenly asked, "How old are you?"

Shen Xi answered honestly: "Eighteen."

Zhou Du was curious: "Where do you get so much energy in a day, this will do that."

Shen Xi smiled frankly: "If you lack money, you will be able to do everything."

After hearing what he said, Zhou Du felt that something was wrong. Shen Xi's banquet was expensive. Even if the daily expenses were higher, he didn't need to work so hard. He asked again, "Where's the money you just earned?"

Shen Xi's spirit immediately withered again: "Hey, it's all spent, and I owe a few taels of silver."

Zhou Du looked up again at the things Shen Xi bought, frowned and said, "These are worth more than 20 taels?"

No matter how unclear Zhou Du was about prices, he also knew how much more than 20 taels was. Ordinary households spent at most one or two taels of silver a year. For a slightly richer family, four or five taels would be as high as the sky?Shen Xi just bought some seasonings, and spent ten years of ordinary people's expenses?

"Of course it's not worth it." Shen Xi shook his head, took out a stack of books from the bullock cart, pointed at them and said, "But they're worth it."

Zhou Du picked out a few books, looked at the titles, and then put them down.

"Food Records", "Food Classics", "Food Classics", "Drinking and Food Notes"

"Integration of Acupuncture and Moxibustion", "Multiple Channel", "Newly Revised Materia Medica"

It's all he can't.

"This is just a small part. There are still a few books in the study, and I don't have any money to buy them." Shen Xi said a little dejectedly, "If you let me make these things for you, not only will you have a lot of money left, I will You can also spend more money to buy books."

In the end, all his hard-earned money went into the pockets of the bosses in Anyang Town.

Zhou Du was speechless, pointing to a cookbook and said, "You have learned so much to open a restaurant in the future?"

"No." Shen Xi lowered his head and rubbed his wrists, but he refused to say anything.

Zhou Du glanced at the scar on his hand that hadn't healed, and said, "Haste is wasteful, not to mention that the wound on your hand is not healed yet, so it's not suitable to do carpentry."

Shen Xi looked up at Zhou Du in surprise, Zhou Du rarely said so much, so he is caring about me now?

The little magpie in my heart seemed to be about to jump for joy.

Zhou Du didn't know what Shen Xi was thinking, seeing him looking at him, he opened his lips and said: "It's just right not to be a carpenter, I bought some fabrics, make clothes for me."

Shen Xi: "...OK."

Zhou Du found out the fiery red cloth and gave it to Shen Xi: "This is a thank you gift."

The little magpie, who had already calmed down, couldn't help cheering up when she saw the red cloth.

Shen Xi touched and touched the fabric with his palm, and asked with some expectation: "Is this for me?"

Buy it for me?

Zhou Du hummed without rebuttal.

When he saw this piece of cloth, he felt that it was especially suitable for Shenxi, who was as bright as the sun, and wished that he could wear it like a scorching sun that warmed people's hearts, so he bought it.

Shen Xi touched the cloth in his hand fondly, then turned his head to look at Zhou Du's own cloth for making clothes, it was obviously not as good as the one in his hand, and the color was also ordinary silver white.

Thinking that Zhou Du himself had no money and bought him such a good cloth, he couldn't help asking Zhou Du with some excitement, "Why did you give me such a good thank you gift?"

Zhou Du's eyes fell on Shen Xi's slightly whitish indigo clothes, and he paused for a moment. In his memory, it seemed that since the first time he saw Shen Xi, he had never seen him wear anything. Better clothes.

So when Shen Xi asked him this question, he also answered naturally: "Probably because you are dressed too poorly, and I can't bear it."

The smile on Shen Xi's lips froze slightly.

well.

The little magpie was killed again.

The author has something to say: I modified a little text.
