My balcony connects the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 235 What I Learned in the City (1+1)

"This thing is called a ticket, a monthly ticket."

Orange Cat: () monthly pass!

Wei Ji explained what food stamps, cloth stamps, and meat stamps are... in general, and the magical effects are closely related to the strategy of governing the country.

Pan Zijian is also a well-known talent in Gyeonggi. Hearing that this ticket has infinite uses, he even admires Wei Cheng, whom he has never met before.

"Okay, brother Dongyang and the others should be here tomorrow. Then, brother Zijian can go to the No. [-] satellite city and wait."

Wei Ji cupped his hands towards the Pan's family in the room, and said with a smile: "Wei will stop nagging, if you need anything else, you can go shopping in the street, the street market has all kinds of clothes, food and other goods. "

Wei Ke only gave them tickets, but did not give them any money. Even if Pan's family moved, the emaciated camel would be bigger than a horse, so he must have brought all his wealth with him, so giving money would be superfluous.

Pan Zijian's family bowed their hands together to express their gratitude. Now that Luoyang is in turmoil, they were able to find this peaceful and prosperous place, but they all relied on Wei Ke.

Wei Jiao bowed back, Shi Shi ran back.

Not long after Wei Ke left.

Pan Zijian took his family around the villa.

I am amazed by the water-filled toilet in the backyard, amazed by the warm fire pit bed in the house, and dumbfounded by the glazed mirror on the dressing table...

It is true that the area of ​​this villa is more than a little smaller than the old house in Luoyang.

However, all kinds of novelties inside made their family yearn for settling in Hedong County.

Soon night fell.

Mrs. Pan summoned her two daughters-in-law and said to them: "Tonight is the first meal when we move here, so you should bring some extra money and go outside to ask where rice noodles, mutton, and wine are sold. It's okay to spend more. "

Pan Zijian's wife is a senior woman, and she has been taking care of all the income and expenditure of the family. Hearing this, he nodded and said, "Then I'll go to get the money first. When I go to the city in the afternoon, I see a butcher's shop on Qian Street. It’s just that I don’t know if there is any more now.”

The so-called Front Street is Suzaku Avenue in the south of Anyi City.

Although it is not as bustling and lively as the Xuanwu Avenue in the north of the city, there are all the shops that should be there.

The two sisters-in-law and the two nuns went out to purchase, and found the butcher shop according to their memory.

To their surprise, the butcher shop was full of people.

Pan Hongshi asked curiously: "What's the situation? Isn't there a night market in the city?"

The nanny behind her looked around, and replied thoughtfully: "It should be, it is already night, but the city gate is not closed, not only that, there are many people coming in and out, this city of Anyi County Security is really good!"

Several people looked at each other and laughed at the same time, as long as the security is good and there is a night market, otherwise they will not be able to buy anything.

At this time, a few women came talking and laughing.

"Haha, I learned that loom today. It's really a good thing. Weaving is so fast."

"Isn't that right? Why are linen in department stores so cheap?"

"Hey, you have all learned it, but I am clumsy. I still can't operate it after learning for half a day. I don't know if I will be persuaded to quit tomorrow."

"Su Niang, don't say that. You are proficient in embroidery. If you can't do it, go find a job in a tailor factory. I heard that the salary is higher there."

The voices of several women were not low, and several women in the crowd stepped back and joined the chat group on their own initiative.

"Come on, you four go to the front row." Several women took the initiative to give up their seats in the front row and let the four of you, Pan Hongshi, go to the front row.

Pan Hongshi and the others looked at each other, they didn't expect such a good thing to happen.

Those few women got together with the women after that, chattering about the loom, and the four of Pan Hong became more and more frightened as they heard it... What kind of weaving chicken can weave seven feet a day?
It's simply a fantasy.

But people say it with certainty, and some other women say that she can weave seven and a half feet a day.

Pan Hong's natal family also passed on weaving and embroidery, and she has the most say in weaving. Ordinary people can weave up to two and a half feet a day, and three people cooperate with each other, but this is already considered skilled. The weavers are gone.

There are many people who can't weave a foot of cloth a day at a slower pace.

As the woman said, one person can weave seven and a half feet of cloth with a loom, which undoubtedly refreshed her worldview.

At this time, the line came to them.

The butcher who sold the meat turned out to be a middle-aged woman.

There is no way around this, men are all doing heavy physical work. In Anyi County, especially outside the city, a large number of construction teams are composed of men, so some easy-going guys are handed over to women.

"Shopkeeper, I want three catties of hind legs."

"The hind legs, right? Wait a minute."

The female butcher swiftly lifted a fresh hind leg of lamb from the shelf, took the knife in her hand quickly, and went on the scale. Maybe she was too hard-working, and she lost two liang of meat, and gave Pan Hongshi another two liang of meat. .

"Chenghui, three catties of meat tickets, and another twelve cents will be enough. Recently, the price of mutton has dropped again."

Pan Hongshi didn't pay attention to the meat bills, but only heard the twelve characters. Suddenly, his expression was startled, he couldn't believe his ears, and asked again: "How much is it?"

The female butcher hung up the remaining leg of lamb, raised her head and said, "Twelve Wen."

"A catty of mutton only costs four pennies?"

The four daughters of Pan Hong's family looked at each other in blank dismay again, unable to believe such a cheap price of mutton.

The nanny behind her rolled her eyes and said, "Perhaps, the price of mutton here is like this. I heard that this place is very close to the grassland, so it's normal for mutton to be cheaper."

The sister-in-law was puzzled, and retorted: "That's too cheap. A catty of mutton in Luoyang costs twenty Wen."

The sister-in-law's mother also said: "Yes, and the mutton looks fresh, not dried, it should be more expensive."

The four of Pan Hongshi looked at each other, and in the end they just regarded it as a big bargain.

She took out a money bag, counted twelve coins and handed it to the female butcher.

The female butcher was stunned, then frowned and said, "Where's the ticket?"

"What ticket?"

"Three catties of meat tickets!"

At this time, someone reminded me: "Sister, we in Anyi County need a meat ticket to buy fresh meat. Could it be that the four of you are newly moved foreigners? I think there are a lot of foreigners here today."

The female butcher said speechlessly: "It's the new one who doesn't have a meat ticket. Chenghui has a total of 45 cash, and fresh mutton is [-] cash per catty."

Pan Hong blushed and nodded his thanks to the woman who kindly reminded him, and then he had to pay the bill. Fresh mutton at fifteen cents a catty was much cheaper than Luoyang. As for the attitude of the female butcher, she didn't mind .

At this moment, the sister-in-law suddenly said: "Hong Niang, the ticket, that ticket!"

Pan Hongshi's expression changed, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he reached out to take off another kit from his waist.

"Hey, so many votes!"

"Yes, yes, there are also Gewu tickets!"

"Cut, why don't you show off your tickets if you have tickets?"

Pan Hongshi didn't know what Gewu tickets were, but he saw more than a dozen meat tickets with the words [fresh meat one catty, five catties] and so on.

"Shopkeeper, is this it?"

The female butcher's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly, "That's right, three pieces for a pound will do."

···
Leaving the butcher shop, the four of them looked at each other, and then laughed.

Pan's sister-in-law covered her mouth and smiled for a while, then sighed, "I didn't expect the ticket given by Mr. Wei to have such a wonderful effect. We only need four coins for the fifteen yuan a catty of meat."

Pan Hongshi said with a smile: "Then you didn't look at the face of that shopkeeper, obviously this meat ticket is more valuable than copper coins."

Speaking of this, she couldn't help tightening the bag that contained the ticket at her waist, with mixed feelings in her heart, and only lamented that her husband had a good classmate.

The four of them inquired about the location of the grain store and bought ten catties of millet.

"By the way, shopkeeper, I want to inquire, is there a place to estimate wine near here?"

The store owner was kind-hearted, and said with a smile: "If you want to buy wine, you can only go to Wei's shop. Look at the signboard with the word [Wei] hanging under the eaves, it is Wei's shop.

Now the food in the city is provided by the Wei family, so naturally only their family is willing to brew this wine. "

Following the store's guidance, the four of them walked to a restaurant.

At this time, when dusk and night alternate, the pedestrians on the street not only did not decrease, but increased.

Some people invited their friends to go to restaurants to eat and drink, and the food stalls on the street were also crowded with people, and all kinds of local delicacies smelled delicious.

Pan's sister-in-law sniffed her nose, and said with a little self-deprecating self-deprecation: "I have been on a journey for several days, and now I smell these smells, I don't want to be eloquent."

The two nuns chuckled, indicating that they were drooling too, because it was so fragrant.

Pan Hongshi also nodded. She was reserved on the surface, but she was actually drooling just now, and her stomach was still growling.

If it's just a few of them, maybe mutton and millet can be eaten, but there are men in the family, so they have to buy some wine to go back.

Pan Hongshi stepped into the restaurant.

At this time, the hall was overcrowded, no matter how big or small the seats were, they were full of people. During the banquet, there were people who had fat meat and wine, some who enjoyed poetry and wine, some who drank wine with sorrow, some who were drunk and full, and there were all kinds of people. All in one.

Pan Hongshi led the other three people straight to the counter, "Shopkeeper, estimate a catty of wine."

The shopkeeper looked up and judged that the four of them were newcomers to the city, and said with a smile, "Forgive me, but there is no more dirty wine."

Pan Hongshi was stunned for a moment, frowned, pointed at the people drinking and the wine rack next to him, and asked, "Why is it gone?"

The shopkeeper didn't hold back, and said bluntly: "There are indeed no more dirty wines that don't require food stamps, and the rest of the wine in the shop can only be purchased with food stamps."

No wonder the shopkeeper's words are too direct, it is true that today I have dealt with too many people who do not have a ticket, and some of them are very rude.

Pan Hongshi opened his mouth, suddenly he was very grateful to Wei Ji.

She took out a few food stamps and said, "We have some food stamps."

The shopkeeper was startled for a moment, and then, as if he had changed, he first apologized to Cai Cai for his actions, and then personally brought them to the wine cabinet.

Said: "Look at what kind of wine you want, Erguotou and Qinghe Daqu are both good."

Pan Hongshi looked at her sister-in-law, she didn't understand wine, but her mother-in-law's family was a family of poets and books, and she had been exposed to many good wines since she was a child.

It seems that it is no secret that scholars are fond of wine.

Pan's sister-in-law nodded knowingly, stepped forward to smell it, and asked curiously, "Why is this wine so fragrant?"

The shopkeeper laughed and said: "It seems that Madam is also a good drinker. Yes, the strength of these wines varies, but they are all stronger than turbid wine. If several ladies want to drink, I suggest going back Finally, add some rice soup to make it easier to enter the throat."

Pan's sister-in-law nodded, raised her eyes to look at the row above the wine cabinet, and muttered: "Luzhou Laojiao, Fen Wine, Gujing Tribute Wine...why have you never heard of these wines?"

The shopkeeper responded with a smile: "It's normal if you haven't heard of it. These wines are all brewed by my second master, and only He Dong can drink them in the world. can be bought.”

"Oh?" Pan and the others looked puzzled.

At this time, the guests at a nearby table looked back, and one of the sons smiled and said: "If the two ladies like to drink, we still have seats here, why don't we have a drink together?"

Pan Hong's expressions changed.

The shopkeeper glared at him and said, "Young Master Liu, you can drink indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately."

That young master drank a lot of wine, and he just had a momentary brainstorm. Now that he was drunk by the shopkeeper, he sobered up immediately, and hurriedly got up and apologized... He didn't dare to mess around in Anyi, the city guards patrolling the streets were not for decoration.

Seeing this, Pan Hongshi thanked the treasurer.

The shopkeeper smiled and waved his hands, and said: "Don't be afraid, the security of our Anyi county is guarded by the city guards. If you are in danger, you just need to shout, and someone will come to rescue immediately." There seems to be nothing to look at the young master.

Brother Young Master really regretted it, and hastily made amends: "I, I really drank too much just now, otherwise, I still have a quota to buy Gujing tribute wine this month, and I will give it to the two girls."

"Quota?" Pan Hong frowned slightly.

The shopkeeper explained: "That's right, except for Erguotou and Qinghe Daqu, all other good wines here need to be purchased."

"Then how to get the quota?"

Pan's sister-in-law knew that her husband liked to drink, so she hurriedly asked.

The shopkeeper smiled, "I used to challenge the chess game at the restaurant in the north of the city, but now it's a bit easier. You only need to match the corresponding pair, or you can solve the problem on the spot if you are proficient in arithmetic. Why, madam, do you want to try it?"

Pan Hongshi and his sister-in-law looked at each other with a smile, and shook their heads at the same time. Although they came from good backgrounds, they have not reached the realm of talented women, so they will not show their shame in public.

"The shopkeeper can help me estimate a catty of Qinghe Daqu." Pan Hongshi took out the food stamps.

The shopkeeper responded with a smile.

I bought meat, bought food, and estimated wine. Although there were a few twists and turns on the way, it was considered as a successful completion of the task assigned by the old lady.

The four returned home following their memories.

While eating, he talked about what he had seen and heard in the city.

What a weaving chicken that can weave seven feet of cloth a day, what tickets for everything you can buy, and the wine in the restaurant.

"Haha, it's interesting, brother, let's go to the restaurant tomorrow to have a look. Buying a drink requires an assessment, or it's only seen in my life."

Hearing what his younger brother said, Pan Zijian was also yearning for it, "Okay, wait for me to come back tomorrow, and the two of us brothers will go together."
