I Made 300000 a Year in Ancient Times

Chapter 17 Sugar & Blush

On the fourth day in this world, Qu Qing finally ate meat for the first time. When the taste of the meat spread in his mouth, he was so moved that he almost shed tears on the spot—it was so delicious! ! !

After lunch was settled, Qu Qing and his party were planning to continue farming in the field with their hoe on their shoulders. As soon as they reached the door, they saw a peddler walking by in the distance carrying a large load of things on a shoulder pole. His eyes lit up and he immediately called for someone to come over. .

"Do you cut your hair?"

The shopkeeper looked up at Qu Qing's weird look with bald head, and said in a warm tone: "Accepted, brother, how much do you have?"

"Wait." Qu Qing said two words, turned around and went into the room to find the neatly arranged and clean hair, and handed it to the salesman.

The salesman weighed it in his hand and held a price. Qu Qing glanced at Hua Zizhou and saw his ignorant expression. Qu Qing guessed that he probably didn't know the price of his hair, but it was true. After all, in ancient times, no one would cut it if nothing happened. What about selling hair?

He tried to communicate with the peddler and raised the price. After a few rounds, he finally sold the hair for [-] Wen. The peddler was about to leave when Qu Qing said, "Wait, do you have a sewing box here? Are there any vegetables?"

The little peddler was only seventeen or eighteen years old. When he saw that there was business, he immediately became more enthusiastic. He put down his burden and took out his things one by one: "I have them all. Cabbage, radish, pepper, coriander, cucumber, what do you want?"

Qu Qing looked at the things he was selling. There were combs, needles, hairpins and other things for women, and on the other side were candies and groceries. While looking at them, he asked, "How much is a pack?"

"A sewing box costs three pennies, and a bag of vegetables costs a penny."

Qu Qing compared it secretly in his heart, and found that the three hundred wen he got from selling his hair was considered a huge sum of money at the moment, so he chose a few favorite vegetables and bought one pack of the same, and another pack. Box of needlework.

When he came here, he found that some of his clothes had small holes. When he wanted to mend them, he searched the broken thatched hut but couldn't find any needles and threads to mend them. Tianhuo, as for vegetable seeds, he thought he couldn't always find wild vegetables, and wanted to try to grow some vegetables himself.

There were many other gadgets for children to play with, and Huazizhou, Jiang Zhu and Qu Xin were all very interested in looking around at the goods sold by the peddler.

Qu Qing noticed that they behaved very well, but they just watched from the sidelines, but they didn't reach out to touch it. I don't know if it was because they knew that they couldn't buy it, so they didn't dare to touch it.

Undoubtedly, the novelty and love in their eyes is very strong, so strong that if Qu Qing had money, he might buy the entire stall of the peddler for them to play with.

Qu Qing flipped through the shopkeeper's things, and couldn't help but rest his eyes on a small round mirror. He picked it up and looked at it. He was a little sad to find that he had been here for only four days and it turned black. The small glass mirror in his hand, to be honest, as a person who pays more attention to his appearance, he really wanted to buy it, but he had to reluctantly give up after asking the price. This kind of things that are not very useful at present are not very expensive, but Qu Qing He doesn't dare to use money indiscriminately now, after all, he will need money when he gets sick, and he doesn't have a stable source of income now.

"Daddy, there are candies..."

Qu Xin's longing voice suddenly came from the side, Qu Qing looked up and saw Hua Zizhou nervously telling little Qu Xin to shut up and stop talking nonsense.

Huazizhou didn't want Qu Qing to think that he and Qu Xin were greedy people who couldn't support him. Facing Qu Qing's gaze, he hurriedly explained for the little cat, saying that he didn't want to eat it, but the child was just curious to see it. .

In fact, how could it be possible not to want to eat it? Even Hua Zizhou himself wanted to eat it to death. From childhood to adulthood, he only ate candy a few times during the Chinese New Year when he was a child, when his father was still there. Later, his father died on the battlefield and the family became poor. , he was annoying, so he never ate candies again. The only time his sister got married was when he got two candies, and then he shared them with the cat.

In fact, when I think about it carefully, the kitten who has grown up to four years old has only eaten candy once.

Qu Qing looked at Hua Zizhou, and saw that although he firmly refused, his eyes couldn't help looking at the candy wrapped in colored oil paper, and he swallowed very slightly, while Jiang Zhu next to him was much more straightforward, Look at the candies and snacks in the shopkeeper's basket and drool, don't make the sound too obvious.

Seeing that the three of them were obviously very greedy, but none of them took the initiative to ask for it, it was a mess of understanding.

Qu Qing has never lived a life since he was a child. It can almost be said that in his previous life, his food, clothing, housing and transportation were all better than those of his peers. When he was a child and adolescence, he almost had nothing. He can't get it, so he doesn't quite understand why they have such a strong desire for mere candies, but they are just ordinary candies.

Is it because there is no such desire?

Just when the three of them reluctantly left to get the farm tools, Qu Qing asked the shopkeeper who was about to leave, "How do you sell the candies?"

"Two pennies for a penny."

It's really expensive, and it only costs a penny a bag to buy seeds.

Even so, Qu Qing bought Liuwen directly, not too much and not too little, but the shopkeeper Ken was still a little surprised. After all, looking at Qu Qing's appearance, he was so poor that he shaved his hair and sold it. The five-cent mirror I was reluctant to buy it, but in the end, I was willing to spend six cents on candy, which is really unbelievable.

There are only a handful of twelve candies in Qu Qing's hands, and holding them feels extraordinarily precious. Obviously, when you want to eat candy in modern times, you won't feel this way with a few catties of candy in your hand.

After the checkout, the salesman left, six eyes were fixed on the candy in his hand and couldn't move away, they couldn't help but wonder in their hearts, would there be one of the candy in his hand?

Qu Qing couldn't help laughing when he saw their cute and stupid children, and then deliberately moved the candy in his hand from side to side, and found that the eyes of the three people in front of him were also following the candy from side to side.

Hua Zizhou seemed to be able to hold back some of his desire, but the other two little puddings were almost drooling on the ground, Qu Qing teased them for a while, before he was about to be drowned in saliva, he stopped in time and smiled , solemnly distributed the candy to the hands of the three people in turn.

"First, Xiao Quxin's, four, then Jiangzhu, come on, you have four too, and then Huazizhou, you want to eat it too, your saliva comes out, then, take it." It is the sense of sight of a kindergarten teacher.

Hearing that he was drooling, Hua Zizhou was so frightened that he quickly touched the side of his mouth, only to realize that what he said just now was made by Qu Qing to tease him.

Qu Qing saw that Hua Zizhou clearly wanted to eat but was still going to reluctantly refuse, so he simply grabbed his hand and put the candy in his palm, without giving the slightest chance to refuse.

Hua Zizhou blushed a little, seeing that Qu Qing's palm was empty, he stammered and said: "It's all given to us, what do you... eat? You should eat it, I don't want it."

Hua Zizhou counted the remaining 290 Wen coins in his pocket, felt the sense of security brought by the heavy copper coins, walked into the house, and said casually: "I have had tooth decay and I don't like candy. Take yours and eat them, um, I don’t have much money now, so I buy less, don’t be disgusted.”

He went in and collected the seeds, and then searched around the house for a place to hide money. After looking around, it seemed that the only wooden box for clothes was more suitable for hiding money, so he put all the money at the bottom of the box, and when he turned around, he saw Several people stood at the door in surprise and stared at themselves with strange eyes.

Qu Qing scratched his head and asked hesitantly, "Shouldn't I put it here?"

"No," Jiang Zhu pointed at him in disbelief, "Why don't you hide money behind someone's back?"

"I have my back on you," Qu Qing's words made Jiang Zhu angry, but of course Qu Qing knew what Jiang Zhu meant. After closing the box, he stood up and said to them, "Don't think too much about it, because I believe in you, so I don't think so. I need to guard against you, you will not live up to my expectations of you, right? Besides, I did not earn the money alone, it is not my money, it is the money of everyone in our family, do you understand? "

Feeling a little numb after speaking, Qu Qing rubbed the goosebumps on his arms, went out and locked the door: "Okay, okay, I'm going to the fields, there is still a lot of work to do."

On the way to the field, Qu Qing could clearly feel that the two younger ones were bouncing around while the older Hua Zizhou restrained himself, but he could also feel that his steps were much lighter. What I said just now was because I was so sweet that I was in such a good mood.

But the children here are really easy to satisfy.

Qu Qing didn't notice at all that he had unconsciously treated Hua Zizhou as a child who hadn't grown up.

Looking at the small group of people following behind him, Qu Qing had a strange feeling in his heart. He had known them for only a week, and the last Jiang Zhu had only been here for 24 hours. , there is a feeling of intimacy and familiarity, just like a real family.

Is this the fate of the legend?

Thinking jumping, he suddenly remembered an important matter, so he turned his head and asked the only adult behind him: "Zi Zhou, do you know how much a cow costs?"

When Qu Qing talked to Hua Zizhou, Hua Zizhou couldn't help being nervous, his whole back froze, and he said dryly: "I heard that the calf is about three pennies."

"How many pennies are there?"

Hua Zizhou thought it was a bit strange for him to ask this question, but he answered honestly: "A thousand Wen is equal to a consistent money."

"How much taels of silver is that consistent money?"

Jiang Zhu couldn't help it now, and said with disgust, "Why are you so stupid, you don't know this? The usual money is one or two taels of silver."

Qu Qing was not at all right, and said frankly: "I was a prodigal before, and I spent a lot of money. I didn't pay attention to this kind of money and consistency before."

When he said this, several people remembered that the only blue brick and big tile house in the village was defeated by Qu Qing, and they immediately believed his words. Said it was a few hundred taels.

Qu Qing calculated in his heart that it would take three thousand cash to buy a calf. It seemed that he was still far away from buying a calf. His heart ached, and he complained depressingly why he didn't go back to the time when the original owner was not a loser.

When he arrived in the field, Qu Qing suddenly realized that something was wrong: "Where is the candy that I just gave you? I ate it so soon? Why didn't I see you unpack it?"

Little Qu Xin hesitated for a while before answering: "I... I don't want to eat it, I'd better save it for my father's birthday and Chinese New Year."

Hua Zizhou next to him whispered: "Candy is very precious, let's save it for Chinese New Year."

Jiang Zhu lowered his head and said, "I'll keep it for later."

He thought that he had no father, and he would not be able to ask for such things in the future as before, so he saved his food.

Qu Qing couldn't tell what it was like seeing these half-sized people who were reluctant to eat even two candies.

He walked over and took out a candy from Xiao Quxin's pocket, peeled it open and ate it for him, then stared at the other two with his eyes, and threatened: "Eat it, or I will feed them one by one later."

Huazizhou's ears turned red, and he hurriedly took out the candy, peeled off the candy, and put the candy in his mouth.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhu also took out and ate.

Qu Qing felt more comfortable now, and said to several people: "If you store it and put it away, you will buy it for nothing. If you like it, next time the salesman comes, I will buy it for you again."

Turning around, he continued digging, vowing secretly in his heart that he must find a way to make money, otherwise this day would be too sad, stupid.

Qu Qing didn't know that he bought candy for everyone, but he didn't buy it for himself, which moved the people behind him very much.

If they knew modern songs, they would definitely match Qu Qing with the song "My Old Father" in their hearts.

Qu heard this and wanted to hit someone.
