"Rice and wheat noodles cost fifty kilograms, soy sauce, oil and salt... Shopkeeper, can these be delivered?" Su Liu smiled and said to the shopkeeper of the grocery store: "We buy so much at one time, do you think you can do the math?"
It’s cheaper.”
"Oh, girl, this is the lowest price. We, Mr. Zhang, are very honest. Don't worry, we will definitely deliver it to your home." The shopkeeper said with a smile.
Usually people who come here to buy things, especially rice and noodles, buy several kilograms of rice and noodles. They never buy so much at one time. Su Liu is considered a big customer.
But Mrs. Chen pulled her aside and said in a low voice: "Liu'er, do we have enough money to buy so much at once?"
"Mom, don't worry, I know what's going on." Su Liu smiled and patted her hand.
Today's prices are not too high. One tael of silver and two stones of rice cost nearly four hundred kilograms. These fifty kilograms of rice cost less than one hundred yuan. If she didn't have to buy other things, she really wanted to buy two.
Shi is going back.
After picking out the items they needed at home at the grocery store, paying the money, and agreeing on the address, Su Liu and the others walked to the next shop.
Because he wanted to buy seeds, Su Liu went to the Qingji Grains Store where he bought peppers.
"Oh, girl, it's you again." As soon as the store clerk saw Su Liu, he stepped forward with a smile on his face.
Su Liu was surprised, blinked and asked: "Brother, do you still remember me?"
"Why don't you remember? I'm famous for my quick mind and my ability to recognize people. Besides, girl, you spent twenty taels of silver to buy two potted plants. How could you not remember?" The young man smiled.
In other words, such a person is being taken advantage of for his own petty thinking.
Su Liu then joked: "I'm afraid I'm secretly laughing at me because I'm being taken advantage of."
"Ah, haha, how can it be done? How can it be done?" When the boy was told what he was thinking, he immediately became a little embarrassed and changed the subject: "How about it, has the girl planted that spicy plant?"
"It's being raised!" Su Liu replied vaguely, then looked at it and said, "I came here to buy some rapeseed. I'm a regular customer, so I want to give me the advantage."
"So, so, what do you want?"
Su Liu smiled, looked at Mrs. Chen and said, "Mom, what kind of vegetables do you want to plant? Seasonal vegetables are best grown."
Mrs. Chen had already had an idea and immediately asked for several kinds of rapeseeds, while Su Liu started wandering around the shop again.
"Miss Su?" The shopkeeper stepped forward and saw Su Liu's eyes showing confusion, so he explained: "Our boss heard that the girl bought spicy food and wanted to see the girl."
Su Liu frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Who is your boss?"
"Our boss's surname is Song."
Song? Su Liu raised his eyebrows. His surname is Song. Is it such a coincidence?
"Then please wait a moment, shopkeeper." Su Liu went to talk to Chen and the others. Mrs. Chen frowned, but nodded, and Su Liu let the shopkeeper lead the way.
What disappoints Su Liu is that the boss surnamed Song is not the Song Xiao she knows, and there is no trace of Song Xiao even between his eyebrows. This man is gentle, and his smile is like a spring breeze wiping his face.
They are all elegant, but there is a hint of wisdom in their eyes.
"Song Gongzi." Su Liu imitated the ancients and gave a blessing.
"Miss Su, please take a seat." Song Fei smiled and offered to sit down, and another girl came forward to serve tea.
"I wonder if Mr. Song invited me here?" Su Liu was not polite, took a sip of tea and got straight to the point.
Song Fei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I heard that the girl spent a lot of money to buy those two pots of spicy food?"
Isn't this asking questions knowingly? Su Liu rolled his eyes in his heart and said: "The price the young master is asking is really not low."
Song Fei smiled gently and said, "Young lady, I don't know that those two pots of spicy peppers were shipped from overseas. I spent a lot of money to buy them. They just looked good and I didn't expect anyone to buy them. Little did I know that anyone would buy them."
I actually like it."
You have been cheated, you have been taken advantage of, Su Liu cursed in her heart, and then thought that she also spent twenty taels of silver to buy two pepper plants, and now she felt extremely distressed.
In ancient times, one tael of silver was equal to how much Grandpa Mao said. Oh, six hundred and sixty oceans. So, she spent more than a thousand yuan to buy two pepper seedlings. If it were passed back to modern times, I don’t know how many people would laugh in their faces.
yellow?
Song Fei saw the expression on her face that was annoyed, depressed, and regretful for a while. He didn't know why, so he couldn't help shouting: "Miss Su, Miss Su?"
Su Liu was regretting it, but a big hand appeared in front of her and waved it again and again. She turned around and saw Song Fei with a confused look on her face, and couldn't help but blurt out: "You have been deceived!"
As soon as I said it, I felt something was wrong, so I looked away a bit.
Song Fei was obviously startled after hearing Su Liu's words: "I wonder what the girl said? Does the girl know this spicy guy?"
Nonsense, if you don’t know me, why would you waste money on it?
"The name of this spicy pepper is chili pepper. It is also called pepper, sea pepper, spicy angle, Qin pepper, etc., but it is not a potted plant. It is a plant of the genus Capsicum of the Solanaceae family." Su Liu explained: "This pepper is very easy to grow.
There are many seeds in peppers, and you can grow many potted plants."
Song Fei was confused: "Plant?"
"In short, it's just a dish and a good thing."
"The girl said it can be eaten?" Song Fei was surprised.
Of course you can, and it tastes really good!
Su Liu was wary. If she spread the word, this person might follow suit. If he took advantage of it first, she would not be able to get back her two taels of silver.
Song Fei didn't know what she was thinking, so when she didn't answer, he asked again: "Girl?"
"Of course it is possible." Su Liu was a little impatient and said, "Don't ask anymore. Since I have bought this pepper, it is mine."
Song Fei laughed and said: "Girl, I don't mean to offend, I'm just curious. The girl said that this spicy food is edible, has she ever eaten it? This kind of spicy food has never appeared in the Daqi Dynasty."
After Su Liu heard this, he was ecstatic and said: "I also read it in a book."
"Oh? I wonder which book it is?" Song Fei raised his eyebrows, looked at her up and down, and said, "Is the girl literate?"
He was really looking down on others. Su Liu blushed, stood up, and said with a sneer: "Why, you can't read in rags? Or do you think that people like us shouldn't be literate?"
Seeing her sudden anger, Song Fei was stunned, quickly stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Young lady, I misunderstood, I didn't mean that."
"what does that mean?"
"I said I was just curious. After all, the girl was the first to recognize this spicy food. When I brought it back from Xihai, I thought it looked good, but the girl said it was edible. I was surprised."
"Isn't there no one on the West Sea side to eat?" Su Liu was stunned.
"I've never seen this before." Song Fei shook his head and said, "There are many seeds in this hot pepper. People over there regard it as a mascot, which means good fortune and many children."
Su Liu snorted, but it was hard to blame him.
"Can you please explain me, girl?" Song Fei said with a smile when he saw that all the thorns in her body were gone.
"There's nothing to explain. It's just an edible dish." Seeing him frown, he added: "The peppers are not ripe now. When the peppers mature, if you are interested, I would like to ask you to have a taste of it."
.”
Song Fei raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "So, I'll wait, but I'm curious, in which book did the girl read it?"
Su Liu took a sip of tea, choked when he heard the words, and said hesitantly: "I forgot about it too, it seems to be a travelogue."
Song Fei frowned after hearing this and wanted to ask again, but Su Liu made an excuse and said goodbye.
"Girl, wait a minute." Song Fei thought of his newly acquired object, so he asked her to leave it and said, "I got a new kind of fruit. I wonder if the girl recognizes it?"
Su Liu blinked and followed him to the backyard.
"Does the girl recognize this thing?" Song Fei pointed to a plant with green fruits at his feet and asked with a smile.
Su Liu took a closer look and exclaimed, squatting down and touching the round fruit, and shouted: "This is a tomato, how did you get it?"
"You really know me, girl?" Song Fei's eyes lit up and he said, "I heard that this fruit is slightly sour when grown and tastes great, but it is difficult to grow. Can Miss Su grow it?"
"I have never grown it, but I have seen it. This is a good thing. Where did you get it?" Su Liu's eyes were shining.
Tomatoes, there are tomatoes here. They are fruits and vegetables with excellent vitamin C. They can be eaten raw or cooked. Tomato scrambled eggs, sizzling.
She swallowed the saliva she secreted. It was really pitiful. When did a plate of tomatoes and eggs become a luxury item?
I don’t blame her. Who told this Da Qi Dynasty not to even have tomatoes? These are all very nutritious fruits and vegetables!
"This is a fruit from the West Sea. It is only used as a tribute and is never spread to other people. I spent a lot of effort to get it. But their planting method is not spread to other people. It is very secretive. I wonder if the girl can grow it?"
Song Fei looked at Su Liu with bright eyes.
Growing tomatoes?
Su Liu pursed her lips. Although she had lived in the countryside in her previous life, she had never grown tomatoes. How did those people grow them?
"I don't know how to plant." Su Liu shook his head and said, "But I probably know how to plant. Do you want to give this to me?"
Song Fei's brows furrowed for a moment, then he let go and said, "It's useless if I get it anyway, so I'll just give it to the girl. It would be a good thing if the girl can grow it."
After hearing this, Su Liu immediately beamed and said with crooked eyes: "Thank you very much, Master. Don't worry, Master. If it is grown, I will let you taste it."
Song Fei smiled and nodded, seeing that she was as happy as if she had a baby, and couldn't help but wonder, can this girl really be born?
After receiving this unexpected gift, Su Liu thanked him again and again, hugged it and left.
When she turned around and disappeared in front of the corridor, a man happened to miss her. He stopped and looked at the disappearing figure, tilting his head and thinking: "Am I dazzled? Why is this little money man here?"
Just as he was wondering, a voice brought him back to reality: "Fifth brother, why don't you come in?"
When Yan was a child, she also grew tomatoes at home, right in the field. It was quite fun, hehe~
