Paradise

With a heavy amount of money in his arms, this feeling is solid and refreshing. Zhou Ze waved his hand, "Come on, let's go to the market."

So Zhou Ze and the others went to the market, and first went to the grain and oil store to buy some rice, flour and oil. Now that he has money, Zhou Ze naturally does not want to wrong his stomach. To be honest, the meals made of coarse grains are really not good. It is delicious, rough and hard. Although the rice and white noodles in this world are not as fine as modern ones, they are much more delicious than the coarse grains. Thinking that Lin Yu and his brothers are also growing up, Zhou Ze naturally wants them to eat better ones.

The place where they live belongs to the north, and the amount of rice produced is very small. The rice here is basically shipped from the south, and the price is half as expensive as white flour.

After asking the price clearly, Zhou Ze told the shopkeeper of the grain and oil store, "Shopkeeper, twenty catties for white flour and ten catties for rice."

As soon as he finished shouting, Lin Yu stretched out his hand and tugged at his sleeve,

Zhou Ze: "?"

Lin Yu moved closer to Zhou Ze, "Brother Zhou, that white flour is fine, buy less rice." Lin Yu looked at Zhou Ze, but didn't say a word, that is, this rice is too expensive. It is half as expensive, and now they think it is good to eat white noodles, and they don't want to waste money on such expensive rice.

"Okay, Ayu, how much you want to buy, I will listen to you."

Lin Yu didn't expect Zhou Ze to let him make up his mind, so he was taken aback for a moment before saying, "Buy five catties."

"Shopkeeper, I don't want ten catties of rice, but five catties, and five catties of rapeseed oil."

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll go and pack it for you." The shopkeeper of the grain and oil store was very happy, as there are not many customers who buy so much at one time.

After a while, the shopkeeper of the grain and oil shop came over with two cloth bags, one bag was filled with flour, the other was filled with rice, and a jar of rapeseed oil. He muttered, "White noodles cost 150 Wen a catty, a total of 75 Wen, rice 620 Wen a catty, a total of [-] Wen, rapeseed oil [-] Wen a catty, a total of [-] Wen, a total of [-] Yuan."

"Shopkeeper, we buy so much, why don't you give us a cheaper price?"

"We are all small businesses, just earning hard money. How about it, you can give 620 yuan." The grain and oil shopkeeper said.

Lin Yu's heart moved, thinking that he should be able to cut down the price, so he said, "Brother Zhou, I remember there is a grain store over there, the price seems to be cheaper, why don't we go to that one."

Zhou Ze responded cooperatively, "Okay, it's okay to go to that house to have a look."

The grain and oil shopkeeper choked for a moment, and said in his heart, the food has been packed for you, it is too unkind for you to leave, so he said, "Forget it, you are my first wave of customers today, and I want to make a good start. Don’t count fractions, give me six hundred Wen.”

You can save twenty money at once. Lin Yu was happy, and looked at Zhou Ze with bright eyes. Zhou Ze smiled, took out the silver and paid it to the grain and oil shopkeeper.

Zhou Ze put the flour bag and rice bag into the back basket on the back, and then put the oil jar on top. Fortunately, the oil jar was sealed, otherwise oil leakage would be really troublesome, which was not good in ancient times. There are too few containers for holding things, and most of them are porcelain, and porcelain is easy to break.

They left the grain and oil store and continued to stroll in the market. They passed a jewelry store. There were quite a lot of people entering the store. Most of them were women and younger brothers. There were not many men. It was very lively with people coming and going. Zhou Ze watched Those smug little buddies who put on makeup and powder frowned, and felt more comfortable when they looked back at their brother Yu's refreshing appearance. It's better to be fresher like this. When he saw Lin Yu's hair tie, it was already very worn out. , I was moved in my heart at the moment, I don't want to buy rouge and gouache for my little brother, but it's okay to buy two beautiful hair ties.

With an idea in mind, Zhou Ze took Lin Yu and the others into the jewelry store,

"Shopkeeper, do you have a hair tie?"

"Yes, guest officer, take a look here, we just brought these headbands from Fucheng, and they are all popular styles now."

Zhou Ze chose a blue headband, and saw bamboo leaves embroidered with silver thread on the edge of the headband. It looked very elegant. Zhou Ze took the headband and compared it to Lin Yu's head. Suitable, "Ayu, this headband is very suitable for you, do you like it?"

Because of their posture, the two were very close. Lin Yu looked around nervously, and was relieved when he saw that no one was paying attention to them, and nodded with a blushing face.

Looking at Lin Yu's slightly red profile, Zhou Ze couldn't help but smile, and picked up a blue headband, "What about this headband? I think it's pretty good too."

Lin Yu looked at it with a red face, and nodded again.

"Shopkeeper, put these two headbands together, I want them all."

"Okay, a hairband is one hundred coins, a total of two hundred coins."

Lin Yu's eyes widened when he heard the words. Why is it so expensive? It's enough to buy ten catties of white flour. Immediately, he grabbed Zhou Ze's sleeve and shook his head at him.

"Since Ah Yu likes it, why don't I buy it for you? This is my heart." Zhou Ze lowered his head and whispered in Lin Yu's ear. Seeing what he said, Lin Yu couldn't refuse.

After paying the bill, the three of them walked out of the jewelry shop, with Zhou Ze in front and Brother Lin Yu behind, Lin Bao secretly grabbed Lin Yu, looked at the cloth bag in his hand, and whispered, "Brother, brother Zhou is right. How kind of you to buy such an expensive thing for you, I dare say that these two hair ties must be the only ones in the village."

Lin Yu glanced at him, didn't speak, but covered the cloth bag even tighter.

After that, Zhou Ze and the others cut two catties of meat in the market, bought two watermelons, and then found a mule cart and went back to Luoxia Village.

In front of Lin Yu's house, Liu Changwang has come here for the second time. Last night, he heard gossip from his mother-in-law from the village that Zhou Ze went into the mountain and spent the night in the mountain. He didn't come back all night. He couldn't help but feel worried. Why is this kid so bold, he dared to enter the mountain, he went in alone, even if he brought a few people with him, even though he knew that Zhou Ze was capable, he was still worried, because he had been thinking about it all the time. After breakfast, I came to the Lin's house to have a look. I didn't expect the door of the Lin's house to be locked, so I was in vain.

As soon as Liu Changwang turned around, he saw Zhou Ze and Lin Yu brothers returning with their things on their backs, and he let go of his immediate worries, "Boy Zhou, where have you been? There was no one in the early morning."

"We went to the county seat and bought something at the market. We just came back. What's the matter, Uncle Liu, do you have something to do? Come in and sit in the courtyard." Zhou Ze opened the courtyard door and beckoned Liu Changwang to enter.

"Aren't you thinking about you? I heard from your aunt that you went into the mountain. Is this true?" Liu Changwang followed into the yard,

Lin Yu took out a small bench for him, and went to pour him a bowl of water.

Zhou Ze smiled, "You guys figured it out so quickly."

"Not only we know, but the whole village probably knows by now." Liu Changwang looked Zhou Ze up and down several times, "When did you come back? Judging by your appearance, you shouldn't be injured."

Zhou Ze nodded, "I didn't get home until it was dark yesterday. I deliberately avoided the territory of those beasts along the way, and didn't conflict with them. I'm fine now, without any injuries."

"Well, it's good that you didn't get hurt. You, don't do such bold things in the future. If you don't think about yourself, you should also think about Ayu and the others. If you do something, what will Ayu and the others do? Live steadily It’s better than anything else.” Liu Changwang, “By the way, did you gain anything from going into the mountains this time?”

"I dug up a few Limonium plants, and sold them at the Immortal Herb Hall this morning," Zhou Ze said.

When Liu Changwang heard that he had dug a few Limonium saplings, he couldn't help being startled, and exclaimed, "Boy Zhou, you are really lucky. Not to mention killing the alien wolf last time, you can even dig up a few Limonium saplings this time." , tsk tsk"

Zhou Ze chuckled twice, "There are many good things in that mountain, I just stumbled upon it by mistake. I found that other people entered the mountain, but I didn't see who they were."

"It's probably from another village. It must be someone with the same ability as you. The young people in our village, few of them have the ability to dare to enter the mountain. They all rely on the soil to eat, and they can't get much all year round. Money." Liu Changwang sighed.

The two chatted about other things, and Zhou Ze thought about building a house, "Uncle Liu, I happen to have some spare money, and I want to renovate this house while the farming is slack. I don't know much about it. matter."

"Building a house is a big deal. What kind of building do you want to build? If it's brick and tile, you have to order the brick and tile. The adobe is simpler, and you have to make the adobe in advance. It's easy to talk about manpower. , give ten fen a day as wages, and just take care of a meal at noon. At this time, there is not much work in the field, so it is easier for you to hire people."

Then Liu Changwang talked to Zhou Ze about where to buy blue bricks and where to buy lime wood

Lin Yu cut the watermelon into pieces and brought it out with a curtain, "Uncle Liu, let's eat a piece of watermelon." He said and handed him a large piece.

Liu Changwang took the watermelon, took a bite, it was really sweet, and thought, Zhou Ze is a caring boy, he even bought such expensive food as watermelon for Lin Yu and the others.
