little fool's child bride

The pawnshop was divided into three pawnshops, and Xiao Xiao ran to the pawnshop on the right without guessing, and handed a silver bracelet to the man with two beards.

Chao Feng glanced casually: "Two Liang."

"Only two taels?" Xiao Xiao took it back in disappointment. He remembered that in TV dramas, a piece of jade pendant was often worth hundreds or even thousands of taels. How did it come to him that a silver bracelet was only worth two taels?The Jiang family is the richest man in Ancheng, so why shouldn't his dowry be worth only two taels of silver?

Xiao Xiao sent another gold hairpin to the counter: "What about this one?"

That Chaofeng appraised it carefully, then stretched out two fingers: "Eight taels."

Xiao Xiao was shocked. For a modern person who costs more than 300 gold per gram, he has no way to understand that a gold hairpin is only eight taels of silver.How much is eight taels of silver?He asked outside, one tael of gold in this place can be exchanged for 2000 taels to ten taels of silver, and one tael of silver can be exchanged for [-] Wen, which means that a gold hairpin is only [-] Wen.According to the price of three Wen for an egg, a gold hairpin is only more than [-] in RMB...

Xiao Xiao put the gold-encrusted jade hairpin back to her chest with complicated emotions, and took out the previous silver bracelet: "Can't you give me more? This is made by a famous craftsman."

"Give me another two hundred dollars, will I live or die?"

"Die it." Xiao Xiao remembered that the interest rate of the live pawn was not usually high. He was in the early stage of starting a business, and he dared to add another debt for something that hadn't been completed yet.The left and right are nothing more than a silver bracelet, and it's not something important, so let's just treat it as it is.

"Then go to the ticket counter over there to fill in the pawn ticket, and we'll take the things." The shopkeeper finally smiled, twirling his mustache and pointing Xiao Xiao to the waiter.Xiao Xiao went out with the money and the pawn ticket, and finally had some real feelings.Strike while the iron was hot, he looked for grain shops on the street.

"Rice is 330 renminbi a stone, sorghum rice is 210 renminbi a stone, and we also have Limalai pearl rice here, [-] renminbi a bucket, please take a look?" Xiao Xiao was introduced by the staff as soon as he entered the door, which made him think of the past I've seen "Watson's" jokes, but he is not one of those beauty-loving girls with big wallets, and he is really reluctant to take out these hundreds of hundreds.

"I'm looking for a kind of pea flour, do you have it here?"

"Flour made from peas?" The clerk shook his head strangely, "Peas can be ground into flour? I've never heard of it. But we have high-quality flour here, such as red bean flour. Would you like to take a look, sir?"

"Then I want half a bucket of soybean flour, and do you know where brown sugar and other seasonings are sold?"

"There's a shop not far ahead for sale." The clerk neatly wrapped it up for Xiao Xiao. Although he felt a little disappointed that he couldn't make a big business, he still had a smile on his face and sent Xiao Xiao out respectfully.

It was already noon when Xiao Xiao came out after buying the seasoning.With only one or two hundred dollars left on him, he looked at a bustling restaurant across the road, gritted his teeth and walked in.

"How many guest officials? Private room or?"

"One, just sit in the lobby." Xiao Xiao followed Xiao Er to a table by the window, and listened carefully to Xiao Er's report of the dishes.

"The most famous thing on our first floor is the first delicacy. There are eight bones and three meats in the soup. It has been boiled for three days and three nights, and it is all melted in it. Then add fresh black mushrooms. Take a bite, the freshness The smell will go straight to Tianling Gai, and the guest officer will definitely feel that it is worth the money..."

"A few days ago, I sent a basket of mandarin fish, which were alive and kicking. Our chef has a family recipe called stinky mandarin fish. It smells bad, but it tastes delicious. Today, many people are looking for this dish. Come..."

"Then I'll just order these two." Xiao Xiao looked at the sign and found that the two together cost nearly [-] Wen, which is still affordable.After ordering another bowl of rice, Xiao Xiao drank tea and waited for the food to be served.

"Young master, do you mind fighting off the table?"

Before the food arrived, Xiao Xiao saw Xiao Er running over with an apologetic face, followed by a young man in white.The young man was imposing, with a slight smile on his face, which made people feel good. Xiao Xiao shook his head, and he sat opposite Xiao Xiao, shaking his fan.

"Young master also came after the stinky mandarin fish?" The man on the opposite side tilted his head, put his fan away and pressed it to his chin, his face full of interest.

"You too?"

"No," the man shook his head, the corners of his mouth curled up, "I just saw that the young master is carrying food in his hand, and the clothes on his body are expensive, so he must be a greedy cat."

"What is a greedy cat?" Xiao Xiao glared at him, picked up the cup and poured him a cup of tea, "My name is Xiao Xiao, and you are a local?"

"My character is Taibai, brother Xiao can just call me brother Taibai." Taibai sipped his tea, frowning unobtrusively.Xiao Xiao naturally didn't see it, he was struggling right now: he didn't want to be a younger brother, and he didn't want to treat this person as Li Bai, but this person refused to even say his name, so he couldn't continue to ask.

"I'm a local, so what does Brother Xiao want to know?"

Xiao Xiao saw that this person was either rich or expensive, so it would be useless to ask him where the carpenter was, but he could listen to his opinion on where and how to sell his Shuixinxuan cakes.So I said: "I have recently researched a kind of dim sum, about the size of a fist, as crystal clear as ice, with fresh petals inside. As for the taste, it can only produce a light sweet taste, but it can be mixed with soybean powder or sugar. It might be fine to eat it with rice flour, or it can be served with chili vinegar or something like that. I want to sell this kind of dim sum, but unfortunately I really don’t understand these things, brother Taibai, what advice do you have?”

"This kind of food is really rare," Brother Taibai pondered for a moment, "I heard that this kind of food is very elegant, why don't you just send it directly to the Qinglou, it will definitely be popular among those literati. If Brother Xiao needs it, Let me lead a thread and bring some snacks to meet the steward of Qinglou?"

"So embarrassing?" Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up, she said embarrassment, but her face was full of anticipation, "But the raw materials needed for this dessert will have to wait at least half a month, I don't know Brother Taibai..."

"It's okay, I'll live in Qiuyuan, east of Sheng'anfang. When brother Xiao is ready, just go to the garden and find me."

Sheng An Fang?Xiao Xiao was startled, could this person be a neighbor?

Ancheng was built in imitation of the royal capital, so the center of the word "well" is the government office, and the north is also the residence of officials.The two major residential areas in the northwest and northeast are mostly inhabited by rich people. The northwest is called Sheng'anfang, and the northeast is called Shengxiangfang.Sheng'anfang is full of big gardens, and Hongyuan is the first one in the west of Sheng'anfang.The gardens are very large, usually more than a hundred acres, so there are really not many in Sheng'anfang, maybe this Qiuyuan is next to Hongyuan.

"Then it's a deal, if it happens, I'll definitely thank Brother Taibai!" Xiao Xiao raised his hand and toasted him with tea instead of wine. The man drank it with a smile, and then inquired about Xiao Xiao's home.Xiao Xiao was on guard in her heart, and only said that the family was in business, and there was an elder brother and a younger brother in the family, and she didn't care what the man thought about the rest of the problems, she smiled silently and dealt with them perfunctorily.

The food is naturally so delicious that the souls of those who eat it will be warmed up; but the conversation with brother Taibai consumes too much Xiao Xiao's attention, no matter how delicious the food is, it can't make up for his tiredness.After learning from Brother Taibai that common people mostly go to the West Market, and that the East Market is mostly a place for businessmen and rich people to purchase, Xiao Xiao feels that she has been cheated, and hurriedly headed towards the West Market after eating.

"Master."

A thin man suddenly appeared behind Liu Ziming, Liu Ziming raised his eyebrows: "Everything is done?"

"Master Hong said that he absolutely supports the master with all his strength, as long as the master doesn't forget his kindness when the time comes..."

"He started asking for benefits before the matter was done!" Liu Ziming laughed back angrily, "Why don't people in the world value power, if I..."

"Master, please be cautious in your words and deeds!" Fang Butler's expression changed, and he looked up at him.Liu Ziming sighed in frustration, holding the handle of the fan tightly with resentment in his heart.From childhood to adulthood, he lived cautiously and looked forward to it, but the closer he was to the day when he could come out, the more he understood that he would never get the freedom he wanted in this life.But for a small family visit, even Manager Fang was sent to follow him. How far will he go to make his father feel at ease?Father—oh, father—

Xiao Xiao was on her way home at this time.He originally planned to go to the West Market again, but it was a pity that it would take two hours to walk home. If he went to the West Market again, he probably wouldn't be able to return before dinner.Fearing that Jiang Muyu would report to his wife, Xiao Xiao thought twice and decided to go again tomorrow.Cleverly climbing over the wall, Xiao Xiao saw the little fool as expected.

"Aren't you exposing me by squatting here? Sit and wait for me in the house from now on." Xiao Xiao pulled up the little fool, looked at his staggering walking posture, and didn't know how long she squatted here.Xiao Xiao sighed distressedly, and said to him while supporting him: "I bought a lot of things, and snacks, do you like Poria biscuits? I also bought sugar people and maltose..."

Xiao Xiao bought a lot of snacks to bribe Jiang Muyu in order to go out tomorrow, but at this time, seeing the cute look of the little fool, she put aside all the calculations and really wanted to please him.Jiang Muyu quietly stared at Xiao Xiao while eating snacks, he would not say that he was relieved when he saw Xiao Xiao came back, but that focused gaze still made Xiao Xiao restless.Sensing that the atmosphere is getting more and more embarrassing, Xiao Xiao secretly despises that she really treats the child as her boyfriend, and at the same time pretends to be casual and talks about what she has seen and heard all day:

"The East Market is really lively. There are all kinds of things for sale. There are even beef jerky, which I thought was forbidden in ancient times! There are also people who draw sugar figurines. A bird can be painted with just a few strokes. It is very similar to That's great, we don't have people who do this for a long time..."

"Tomorrow, I will go to the West Market to order molds. I don't know what the West Market looks like. I heard from Mr. Liu that there are more common people there. Will it be more lively?"

"Who is Mr. Liu?" Jiang Muyu was slurping tuckahoe cakes, but when she heard the corners of her mouth twitch, her face was full of accusations.Putting away the snacks in his hand, he looked straight at Xiao Xiao, waiting for his explanation.
