Lin Zhu informed Aunt Li in advance and followed the housekeeper of Dr. Zhang's family to the county seat. Lin Zhu's first carriage ride felt very novel. The Zhang family's carriage looked ordinary from the outside, with no gorgeous decorations, but inside the carriage
But it is quite different. The carriage is very spacious. There is a small table fixed on the car body in the middle. Two people can sit side by side on both sides of the table. Moreover, the sitting areas are thickly cushioned and have edges and corners inside.
They were all wrapped in thin cloth. Sitting in such a car, Lin Zhu felt that it was much better than an open-top ox cart.
"Uncle Butler, thank you. It's really troublesome to take me with you." Lin Zhu was very grateful to Dr. Zhang's butler. He was the one who told Dr. Zhang how to dry wolfberry last time. Although it was Dr. Zhang's instruction, he still
I would like to thank him for his careful guidance.
The last time Lin Zhu went to the county town, she didn't go shopping. Firstly, she was short on time, and secondly, she wasn't very rich with money. This time, because the horse-drawn carriage was much faster than the ox-cart, she wanted to use it for Guan Zhang's family.
If the stay was long, she wanted to visit the county town. At least she wanted to buy some gifts for Aunt Li and her family. So she asked Butler Zhang how much he wanted to buy in the county town. In fact, Butler Zhang didn’t have anything to buy when he came out this time. It was Old Doctor Zhang.
She wanted to help Lin Zhu, so she sent him out, but it was not convenient to tell Lin Zhu the reason, so Butler Zhang deflected her words vaguely.
However, Butler Zhang still told Lin Zhu not to worry, he could wait until Lin Zhu finished buying. Lin Zhu was very grateful to him for this.
When he arrived at the county town, Lin Zhu first went to Fushengtang to sell the wolfberries to them. The wolfberries that Lin Zhu brought this time may be of better quality than the last time because they had been stored in the space for a while. This can be compared with the naked eye.
Shopkeeper Wang was the one who received Lin Zhu this time. He took a look at the medlars brought by Lin Zhu and found that almost all the medlars this time were Grade A. He was very surprised. He collects medicines all year round.
Naturally, he can distinguish the quality of medicinal materials. The difference between the grades of each medicinal material is also related to the efficacy and price. Shopkeeper Wang was still impressed by the wolfberry that Lin Zhu brought over before, so he brought it over
The grade of the wolfberries was good and he was very satisfied. Unexpectedly, this time it was beyond his expectation and they all reached Grade A. Shopkeeper Wang was a little curious that such a young child could produce such good wolfberry, "Little girl
"The wolfberry you brought this time is very good and can be rated as Grade A." Shopkeeper Wang said to Lin Zhu gently, "I wonder if you still have some at home?" "There are still some at home, but I didn't bring them this time."
It's good." Lin Zhu was very satisfied with the grade given by Shopkeeper Wang. A high grade means more money he can get today.
"Then how many more do you have at home?" Although shopkeeper Wang was a little disappointed with what Lin Zhu said about the quality of his home, he could understand that it would be suspicious if they were all Grade A. But the man who sells wolfberry seeds is not
If you can, charge as much as you can. Shopkeeper Wang told Lin Zhu that after drying her home, she must bring it to Fushengtang and he will give her a good price. Lin Zhu readily agreed.
The wolfberry fruit that Lin Zhu brought was thirty kilograms, five kilograms more than last time. Shopkeeper Wang gave Lin Zhu another five cents increase because this time they were all Grade A products. Each catty was eighty-five cents.
Zhu finally got more than two and a half pieces of silver, and she almost jumped up with joy.
Lin Zhu asked for two pieces of one tael of broken silver, and the rest was still copper coins. After carefully packing them, he left Fushengtang. Lin Zhu went to the last Jinji Clothing Store and chose a piece for himself to make a lining.
Fine white cotton cloth and a piece of lake green muslin cloth for making dresses. When I was about to leave, I remembered that Kam Kee is a big cloth store and they should have more leftovers here, so I asked the clerk if I could buy some.
It happened that Jinji Cloth Shop had saved some, and since Lin Zhu wanted it, he gave it to her, so he took Lin Zhu five cents. This was much more than what Lin Zhu got from the cloth shop in Baihe Town.
, Lin Zhu was very happy, but it was a bit difficult for her to hold such a big bag. She asked the clerk if he could send it to the carriage. The clerk was reluctant at first, but when Lin Zhu paid two cents for the errands, he
She happily agreed. After telling the waiter the place she and Butler Zhang had agreed on, Lin Zhu left the village.
Lin Zhu first went to a snack shop to buy some snacks, and bought some for Mrs. Li's family and Dr. Zhang. She passed by a jewelry store and wanted to go in and take a look, but then she thought that she was a child and there were no adults around. The people inside
You will probably think that you are here to cause trouble, so forget it and come back next time when you have enough money.
I went to a grain and oil store in Linzhu to check it out and planned to buy some soybean oil. Although she had already harvested the soybeans, they still had to be dried for a while and threshed before they could be used. The oil extraction technology at this time was very backward, so soybean oil was sold.
It is not cheap, costing 20 cents per pound. Because of the high price, few people buy it. People are more willing to buy some fat meat and go back to refine the oil. When the clerk in the store saw her coming to buy it, he enthusiastically helped her make two pounds of oil. Lin
Zhu didn't have oil gourds, so he bought them in the store. When Lin Zhu finished buying them and was about to leave, the clerk in the store introduced another oil, saying that this oil was better than this soybean oil, but there was no
It had a beany smell and the fried vegetables were more fragrant. Lin Zhu asked curiously what kind of oil it was? The waiter said it was squeezed from a small fruit with a shell. Lin Zhu asked him if he had that small fruit with a shell.
The clerk said there was one, so he showed it to her. Lin Zhu looked at it and wondered, wasn't it peanuts? It seemed that it was necessary to go out and walk around, and she discovered another good thing.
Lin Zhu asked the waiter what this thing was? Where did it come from? The waiter said that the shopkeeper found it from elsewhere, and the shopkeeper called it peanut. They rarely see this thing here, and it can squeeze oil, but no one has seen it before.
Not to mention that he had eaten it before, so he didn't dare to buy it. Since Lin Zhuming was a child, the man thought that he might be able to trick her into buying oil. Of course, he couldn't say this to Lin Zhuming.
No matter what the clerk was thinking, Lin Zhu felt that since she had encountered it, she couldn't let it go. The land behind her house was not very productive for growing soybeans and sorghum. Lin Zhu had seen that the soil there was suitable for growing peanuts.
Peanuts are a good thing, with many uses. Not only can they be used to extract oil, but they can also be eaten in many ways. Lin Zhu felt that the shiny silver was flying towards her. So Lin Zhu asked the clerk if she could buy some of this thing called peanuts.
The clerk felt that he had been taken advantage of. She dared to buy things that others didn't like. It made no sense that the business delivered to her door was good, so he sold her the last ten pounds of peanuts in the store and asked her for fifteen cents a pound.
The high price, in fact, the shopkeeper of his family charged seven cents per catty. Most of them were squeezed out, leaving only ten catties. Unexpectedly, the oil could not be sold for a long time, so it was lost. I always wanted to sell it.
, Lin Zhu just bumped in. The clerk quickly sold it to her.
Lin Zhu got the peanuts and left happily. He went to the meat stall to buy some meat and ribs, and then went to the place agreed with Butler Zhang. On the way, he bought some steamed buns, divided them into two portions, and ate one portion by himself.
, and the other was reserved for Butler Zhang. Lin Zhu bought a lot of things and couldn't fit them in her backpack. She found a place where no one was around and put the peanuts into the space.
When they found Butler Zhang, it was not too early, so the two of them discussed it and set off home.
Not long after Lin Zhu left the grain and oil store, the shopkeeper came back. When he entered the door, he looked for the peanuts he had left, but he couldn't find them after rummaging through them. After calling the clerk over and asking, he found out that he had sold those peanuts.
, the clerk smugly told the shopkeeper that he had sold it for a high price of fifteen cents per pound. When the shopkeeper heard this, he was so angry that he slapped the boy. Today he met the owner of a dried fruit shop and said that he had seen and eaten these peanuts.
When I heard that he had it, I wanted to buy it all, fifty cents per catty. The shopkeeper hurried back to get it, but he didn't want the clerk to sell them all. "Go, get him back to me." He was stunned.
The clerk hurriedly went out to look for her. At this time, Lin Zhu was already on her way home. Even if the clerk broke his leg, he still couldn't find her.
