The mercenary queen traveled through time and space to ancient times and only wanted to farm

Chen Qingxin took a few turns around the brick and tile factory and found that the quality of the bricks and tiles was indeed good.

So, I ordered 250 taels of bricks and 50 taels of small tiles, paid half of the deposit, and the remaining balance would be settled after the goods were delivered.

Shopkeeper Qin followed behind and never closed his mouth.

No wonder, there are very few people who can afford to build houses with blue bricks and tiles these days.

Chen Qingxin left the brick factory with Liu the bricklayer, carrying the receipt and the purchase agreement.

Liu the bricklayer hesitated several times before finally summoning up the courage to say, "Qingxin girl, if you build a quadrangle with two entrances, I'm afraid it won't be completed in a month. And..."

"Uncle Liu, rest assured. For the second yard and the barn at the back, I will at least double your wages.

It depends on the specific situation, maybe even more.

As long as you help to do the work well, you don't have to worry about the money."

She spoke so eloquently that Liu the bricklayer felt a little embarrassed: "Girl, uncle didn't mean that."

Chen Qingxin smiled and said, "I know. Let's not talk about this for now. I'll write you a document when I get back and give you another 20 taels of deposit. Are you relieved now?"

"How can this be possible? The work hasn't even been done yet, but I've already received dozens of taels of money. What kind of thing is this?" Liu the bricklayer shook his head like a rattle.

"I don't have to worry about you running away. What is there to be afraid of? Trust the people you employ. If you don't trust them, don't employ them. Okay, let's go to a restaurant and fill our stomachs first." Chen Qingxin pointed to a restaurant and suggested.

"Okay, uncle will treat you to a meal." Liu the bricklayer said cheerfully.

"Let me treat you. It's not easy for you to work on the project every day.

Besides, during the days when I was unconscious, you often asked your aunt to bring food to our house.

Consider it my way of repaying your kindness, so I must treat you to this meal."

As they were talking, the two had already arrived at the tavern.

When the waiter saw the guests coming in, he immediately greeted them warmly: "Please come in!"

Although it is not a private room, each dining table is separated by a screen.

Chen Qingxin was quite satisfied with the environment here. This was also her first time to eat in an ancient restaurant.

"Waiter, give me four of our specialty dishes, a pot of wine, and two bowls of rice." Since I didn't see the menu, I could only let the owner serve the food.

In her opinion, it’s always a good idea to eat the best food in the restaurant.

However, when the four dishes of braised duck, braised pork elbow, boiled chicken, and grilled lamb chops, which were several times bigger than her head, were served on the table, the corners of her mouth twitched fiercely:

"Hahaha! This is the specialty of your restaurant? It's really affordable. Come on, Uncle Liu, please eat more."

Liu the roofer seldom went to restaurants to eat, so he didn't know that the food bowls in the restaurant were so big.

"Oh my! Girl, are you ordering too much? Can the two of us eat so much?"

"Uncle Liu, don't worry, we two uncles can eat as much as we want. I've been hungry for a long time, so eat quickly."

After Chen Qingxin finished speaking, he began to eat with big mouthfuls of food.

"Girl, slow down. We have almost finished our work. It doesn't matter if we go back later."

Liu the bricklayer shook his head helplessly, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

However, when he took the first bite, he was stunned: Isn’t this taste too good?

He had never eaten anything so delicious in his entire life.

Moreover, he discovered that when good food entered the stomach, the feeling was different and the whole body felt comfortable.

"Uncle Liu, how is it? It tastes good, right?"

Chen Qingxin used a public soup spoon to scoop an old duck leg into Liu the tile-carving craftsman's bowl, "Please eat more, and try to finish all these."

"Hmm, hmm, hmm, it's delicious, especially delicious." Liu the bricklayer, with his mouth full of food, kept nodding his head in praise.

To him, this was simply the most delicious food in the world, better than any delicacies he had ever eaten.

The meal took a full three quarters of an hour to finish.

When I paid the bill, it was only 200 wen.

Liu the bricklayer was heartbroken: "Girl, my uncle and nephew have spent five days' wages on the lunch today!"

"Haha! It's okay, Uncle Liu, we can't settle the accounts so clearly, right?

What is the purpose of making money? Isn't it to allow yourself to eat well, dress well, and live well?

It would be boring to make money but not spend it, wouldn't it?" Chen Qingxin laughed and said a lot of great truths.

"Okay, uncle can't argue with you. We are too full. Let's walk back." Liu the bricklayer smiled helplessly.

"Or, Uncle Liu, you can walk home slowly. I still have something to do and will be back later." Chen Qingxin remembered that he had promised Xiao Wu to bring him some meat to eat.

Seeing Uncle Liu's inexperienced look, she would never dare to go to the butcher shop to buy meat in front of him again.

"How can that be? Your uncle will be worried about you being alone in the town!" Liu the bricklayer said anxiously.

Chen Qingxin stepped forward and gently pushed him: "Uncle, go back first. Have you forgotten that I know martial arts? Maybe I can catch up with you in a while!"

Liu the bricklayer chuckled, "Hehe, uncle actually forgot about this. Then I'll go back first, you hurry up and do your work, uncle will walk slowly and wait for you. Don't let your mother and Qingwen worry!"

"Got it!" Chen Qingxin said, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

She first went to the butcher's shop and asked, "Boss, how much is pork?"

The fat shopkeeper saw that it was a child and didn't take it seriously, thinking that he was asking for fun. He said casually, "9 cents per pound."

Chen Qingxin put forward his request indifferently: "Give me 20 kilograms of ribs and a whole hind leg with a seat board."

The shopkeeper looked incredulous: "Little girl, are you sure? It weighs 30 kilograms in total. Can you...carry it?"

"It's alright, just cut the meat as you requested, I can take it back."

Chen Qingxin took out 300 coins and handed them over. "Use this money to buy it. Boss, you have to weigh it for me. Otherwise, I will come to you to find you."

"Don't worry, I will only give you more and will never deduct the weight. Miss, you can go and ask around to find out if I, Zheng the Butcher, have ever cheated anyone?" While Zheng the Butcher was speaking, he had already divided the pork.

Chen Qingxin was speechless when he saw the fat that was as thick as two adult fingers.

In modern times, who would dare to eat such fatty meat?

But the situation is different now. Their family needs oil and water, everyone is skinny, and practicing in the future will also consume energy.

Thinking of this, she asked for another 10 kilograms of pork fat.

"Boss? What are you daydreaming about? My family has many people and the demand is great, is that not okay? Do you think others buy more than you do in business?" Chen Qingxin said jokingly.

"Okay, okay, don't worry, girl. I'll help you separate the bones from the meat, so that you can go back and cut it without a boning knife." Zheng the butcher looks burly, but he is very thoughtful.

Fortunately, there were no other customers at the stall during this period, otherwise I would have been so surprised to see a child carrying a big cloth bag in each hand.

"130 coins for lard, 430 coins in total." Butcher Zheng took out a pile of pork bones from the bamboo basket next to him and asked:

"Girl, do you want these bones? They're good for the dog to chew on."
