A catty of polished rice is 230 Wen, a catty of white flour is [-] Wen, a catty of cornmeal or sorghum noodles is [-] Wen, a catty of cornmeal is [-] Wen, sweet potatoes are [-] Wen a catty, and yams are very cheap, only [-] Wen a catty.

Shen Wenxuan stared at the price, he knew that the ancient milled rice and white noodles were expensive, but he didn't expect it to be so expensive, more than ten times more expensive than those coarse grains.

Shen Wenxuan made some calculations in his mind, and ordered [-] catties of corn noodles mixed with sorghum noodles, [-] catties of sweet potatoes, [-] catties of polished rice and [-] catties of white noodles.

His haunted house needs to be repaired, and he alone will definitely not be able to do it. With the three brothers of the Zhang family and a few more people, it should be able to finish the job in five days.

He is the head of the house, and he should provide the meals, but he really has no place to cook, and he has no pots and pans, so he can only borrow the kitchen of the Zhang family, which is exhausting for Mrs. Zhang, but he can't use it for nothing. The five catties Five catties of polished rice and white flour is considered a thank you.

In addition, the pillows and quilts he slept on and the quilts wrapped around the pair when he came here were all new quilts sewn by Mrs. Zhang stitch by stitch. The Zhang family didn't care about these, but he couldn't pretend to be stupid to take advantage.

There are wages, materials money...

Shen Wenxuan always felt that his money was like flowing water, and it would run out with a splash.

Shen Wenxuan sighed sadly, but the waiter of the grain shop was very happy, this is a big business, big business came here just after opening, auspicious!

"Guest, [-] catties of corn and sorghum noodles, [-] catties of sweet potatoes, [-] catties of polished rice and [-] catties of white flour, the total cost is twenty-six cents and ninety cash," Xiao Er cracked his abacus, smiling all over his face. "Guest officer, I see that you bought so much, so I'll give you a discount, counting it as twenty-six dollars and fifty cents."

Shen Wenxuan took out his purse and silently took out the money: "I'll give you twenty-six cents and sixty cents, please take it to the Zhao Family Medical Clinic at the gate of the city."

"Okay! I will deliver it to you before noon."

Shen Wenxuan nodded and left the grain shop, turned a street to another grocery store, and looked back when he was about to turn the corner. There were two people there, and they had followed him for two streets.

Robber?

Shen Wenxuan looked away, and went into the grocery store muttering, "Boss, how do you sell oil and salt?"

The owner of the grocery store was a short man, and he could only see Shen Wenxuan's face when he poked his head up from behind the counter. Shen Wenxuan couldn't help but bend down because his neck was tired.

"Oh, guest officer, do you want to buy oil and salt?" The dwarf boss said, "There is no problem with oil. I have kerosene, lard and sesame oil here, but you have to go to a special salt shop to buy salt. We don't sell salt here. "

Shen Wenxuan was stunned for a moment before he remembered that Daqing had very strict control over salt, salt was monopolized, and other people or shops who sold salt would be sentenced to prison.

"What are the prices of lard and sesame oil?"

Shorty Boss: "One tael of lard is [-] Wen, one tael of soybean oil is [-] Wen, and one tael of soybean oil is [-] Wen."

Grab money!

Shen Wenxuan covered his heart expressionlessly, he had angina, let him relax for a while.

In the end, Shen Wenxuan bought a catty of lard with distress, and spent [-] Wen.

Seeing that he bought a lot, the dwarf boss gave him two small clay pots for oil storage for free.

"Guest officer, I'll tell you one thing when I see you look good," the dwarf boss was already satisfied with the young man's bending over, and said in a low voice while weighing the oil, "The official salt in the salt shop If you want to buy it, go to the third family in the back alley of Chaishi Street, the family is named Liang, and they sell illegal salt."

The short boss didn't raise his head when he said this, and the movements of his hands were orderly, as if he didn't say what he said just now.Fortunately, there are no other customers in this shop except Shen Wenxuan, otherwise the shop owner would never dare to mention it.

Shen Wenxuan lowered his eyes and nodded calmly, thinking that the owner of this shop has a big heart, so he told him so, isn't he afraid that he is from the government?

But Shen Wenxuan was happy, he could save a little bit, he was happy, the short boss looked cuter and cuter.

Shen Wenxuan came out of the grocery store with two small clay pots, walked slowly towards Chaishi Street, slowly quickened his pace, and stopped invisibly when he turned a corner. There was no one around here, and it was a good place to commit crimes .

His current body was still extremely fragile, and he would definitely not be able to fight with bare hands, so Shen Wenxuan put down the clay pot in his hand, picked up a brick on the ground, weighed it, and took a deep breath.

There were two hurried footsteps from behind, and when their owners were about to turn the corner, Shen Wenxuan grabbed a man by the collar and pressed him down with his own weight, the brick in his hand was about to smash go down—

"stop!!!"

"Sir, no, no, sir! Stop, stop, stop, we are not bad people, we are really not bad people, sir, you can hold your hands high!"

The other person was so frightened that he was about to kneel down to Shen Wenxuan.

Shen Wenxuan sneered when he saw this, and he didn't intend to hit his head for fear of being a fart.

"With your courage, you dare to follow others to rob, but you really take yourself seriously." Shen Wenxuan said, he sat on one of the people's backs, did not get off, and weighed and weighed the bricks in his hands .

The people under him were thrown into a daze, and there was no movement for a long time.

"I, we are not going to rob, we have something to ask you, sir, sir, can you come down first?" another person forced a smile and said, he looked at the brick with trepidation, afraid that someone who would not It even hit the young master's face.

Shen Wenxuan: "Do you need to sneak around to find me?"

Ghosts don't believe it.

"You..." The person sitting by Shen Wenxuan spoke, probably because he was being pressed down, with more air intake and less air output, and his voice was thin and weak, sounding like an eunuch.

"Master is the young master of the Mu family... you... come down for me." Damn it, come down for me!

Mu family?Shen Wenxuan stroked his chin and remembered that the Mu family was the owner of another woodware shop that had just opened.

"What did the Mu family want me for?"

"...You come down first." He was about to die.

Shen Wenxuan calmly said, "Please explain clearly first."

The young master of the Mu family: ... Fuck!

The anxious servant of the Mu family next to him slapped his thigh and said everything, begging him to let his young master go quickly, or his old lady will have to skin him!

It turned out that the head of the Wang family went directly to the county town in a carriage after he left, and followed him just to know what treasures he had painted for the Wang family carpentry shop.

But looking at the posture of following, it may not be a good question to ask.

Shen Wenxuan understood, the corners of his mouth curled up into a slight smile, his face was calm and calm, but his hand was unexpectedly raised high, and he dropped the brick in his hand with a bang, and the sharp corner of the brick threatened to rub There was a slight bloodstain on the side of the person under him, and the person under him trembled violently, the sound of bricks exploding exploded in his ears, his mind went blank for a few seconds, and when he came back to his senses, The lower abdomen is already wet, and there is a faint smell of fish.

Shen Wenxuan pinched his nose in disgust, got up quickly, sneered vaguely, picked up his two small clay pots, patted his buttocks and left.

"The next time you look for Shen, it's better to behave properly. For normal visits, Shen will not refuse customers."

The little young master behind him was lifted up by the servant with a face full of humiliation, staring at Shen Wenxuan with terrifying eyes that could eat people.

"You stop for me!"

If Shen Wenxuan doesn't stand, whoever stands is a bastard.

Mu Zixin has never seen such a disobedient person before, even if his eldest brother committed a crime, and his family moved out of the county, no one would dare to throw stones at him!

"You fucking wait for me! Cough," Mu Zixin was so angry that his face was flushed and his breathing was difficult, but he still scolded at the top of his voice, "You wait for me to bring my family out to kill you! When the time comes, I will definitely kill you!" You are crying and crawling past Grandpa! Grandpa, Grandpa is going to dismantle your two dog legs..."

whose child is not weaned?

Shen Wenxuan didn't care, and strode forward. He wasn't afraid of the Mu family making troubles. Isn't this also from the Wang family?

Due to the delay in this matter, Shen Wenxuan did not go to Chengchaishi Street. Near noon, Shen Wenxuan rubbed his stomach and found a roadside stall to eat a bowl of chicken noodle soup.

There is not much chicken in the chicken noodle soup, but fortunately, the portion is large, and the chicken soup is delicious. Shen Wenxuan added some chopped green onion, and he ate it hot under the noon sun.

After eating, he hurried back. The time he agreed with Zhang Tieniu was at noon. According to his honest and honest character, he probably already waited by now.

When he arrived at the Chengmen Medical Center, Zhang Tieniu was sitting on the bullock cart with his hands in his hands, and the food from the grain store was piled up at the door of the medical hall.

Zhang Tieniu was unable to move, and the grain was not very heavy, so Shen Wenxuan carried the grain into the cart by himself.

"Brother Shen, why are you buying so much?"

Zhang Tieniu looked speechless, Brother Shen is too good at spending money, this is not good, he has to find an opportunity to persuade him, in this world, it is safe to have a little money around.

"Didn't I want to rebuild that old house? Brother Zhang, please help me recruit a few people to help me when the time comes. The food is used to entertain the helpers."

Shen Wenxuan got into the ox cart, and Zhang Tieniu drove the ox cart slowly out of the city gate.He didn't take a look at Shuang'er on the sickbed in the hospital, so he didn't see the man's fingers move slightly, and the crow's feathers trembled, which was a sign that he was about to wake up.

"Brother Shen, if you want to find someone to repair your old house, come to me. The three brothers of our Zhang family will definitely help you. Brother Shen, you are welcome." Zhang Tieniu scratched his head and asked a little embarrassedly: "Brother Shen, are we friends now?"

Shen Wenxuan: "Of course, Big Brother Zhang and his family are all good people. I wish I could become friends with you."

"Damn, what are you looking forward to," Zhang Tieniu smiled innocently, "As long as you treat me as a friend, Brother Shen, just ask me for anything you need, and I will help you with anything."

Are ancient friendships so simple and unpretentious?

Shen Wenxuan covered his heart expressionlessly again, a little moved.

After sitting on the bullock cart for two hours, he finally arrived at his old house where he had been away for a day.

When we meet again, it's still too broken for people to look directly at.

Shen Wenxuan and Aunt Zhang agreed to borrow her kitchen for tomorrow and the next few days, and gave her all the food and a catty of lard.

Aunt Zhang only took the coarse grains she needed, and she insisted on not wanting the rest, so Shen Wenxuan asked Shen Wenxuan to take them back for her own use, but Shen Wenxuan said, "If my aunt doesn't take it, I won't borrow the kitchen of my aunt's house" and stopped her from going back.

Most of the people in Anhe Village are members of Shen Wenxuan's clan with the same surname, but how many people really take Shen Wenxuan to heart?They wanted to say nothing about him. Aunt Zhang knew this, so she sighed and had no choice but to accept it.

"Boy Shen, these are enough, you must not buy anything else, otherwise don't blame your aunt for falling out with you. You are not young anymore, you should save some money for yourself to marry a wife, don't be so messy again flower."

Aunt Zhang was muttering, feeling sorry for Shen Wenxuan, a good boy.Her family has no money, and three sons and a daughter-in-law haven't been mentioned yet, but this kid from the Shen family is the same. At the same time, she was thinking about what to make with these delicious things to supplement the kid. It seems good to make dumplings.

Zhang Tieniu called over the brothers he had befriended, plus the other two brothers of the Zhang family, making a total of six people.

Shen Wenxuan asked Zhang Tieniu about his wages in private, but Zhang Tieniu was ashamed to mention the money.

"Your old house will be renovated in a few days, so don't give money to everyone who helps each other."

Shen Wenxuan: "This can't be done. Brothers have to settle accounts clearly. The money between me and you is not to create a share between us, but to prevent us from creating a share because of the money. What's more, you don't want it if you don't want it? Others always have thoughts. If you want, you can just say the normal price in the village."

Zhang Tieniu felt that what Brother Shen said was reasonable, and said with a blushing face, "It's not a busy time for farming, everyone is happy to do some work, and the wages don't have to be too high. Besides, Brother Shen, you still take care of the food. You can spend ten hours a day alone." Two or three words will do.”

Shen Wenxuan nodded: "Then I will pay thirteen coins per person per day, and I will take care of two meals at noon and evening. Ask your brothers if there is any extra wood, thatch, etc. that you can sell to me."

"Row."

There is a lot of thatch in Zhang Tieniu's house. According to the price in the village, it costs one penny per catty, and the catty will be calculated as how much it will cost. The wood does not cost money. There are many hills here, and the wood resources are abundant. A solid cut will do.

After discussing with these people, it was completely dark.

Shen Wenxuan once again declined Zhang Tieniu's invitation, bit the bullet and lay down in the main room, where the wind was breezy and cool, accompanied by the sound of small animals passing through the hall from time to time.

Shen Wenxuan looked at the stars faintly peeking out from the eaves above his head, and there was always a feeling that he was the only one, but the room was full of people.

Shen Wenxuan: ...I miss the family members of the Zhao Family Medical Center who accompany me in bed, even if they bother him again, it doesn't matter.
