Scientific farming and raising cute babies

Chapter 51: Pretending to be illiterate is exhausting

Two clay pots of bean curd cost [-] Wen, and one clay pot of hot and sour broth costs [-] Wen. This is the price that shopkeeper Wu negotiated with Meng Xizhou yesterday.

The kelp and pepper in the hot and sour broth are all medicinal materials, and the price itself is not low. In addition, Gu Miao put a lot of meat, so the price set is not high.

Meng Xizhou took the money bag, poured out the copper coins inside, counted them one by one, then nodded and said, "It's exactly five hundred coins."

"Okay, then I'm leaving, come back tomorrow, I hope the snow will be smaller." Niu Shun said bitterly.

Although you can have free hot and sour broth and bean curd when you come to Huaishu Village, it is really too bitter to go out in the winter with snowflakes and cold wind, and the road is heavy with heavy snow, the road is difficult to walk, and the time spent on the road is delayed Long, this time and again, I really want to freeze people.

"Be careful on the road." Meng Xizhou urged.

After Niu Shun left, Meng Xizhou gave all five hundred copper coins to Yunmo. Yesterday, he spent a lot of copper coins on buying dried rice and noodles, which were all costs, which he and Gu Miao Yunmo shared.

In fact, Yunmo's family has wheat. Yunmo himself has [-] acres of good land. He injured a leg and couldn't do farm work, so he rented out all [-] acres of land, and collected some rent every year for it. Pay the tax and keep it for yourself.

Now that he wants to do business, he has beans, flour and other food. He wants Gu Miao and Meng Xizhou to use his, so that he doesn’t have to go to the town to buy it and save a lot of money, but Gu Miao and Meng Xizhou insist on not using it. The calculation was clear, he had no choice but to agree with the young couple.

"You two, you have been busy for the past few days, and all the little things you earned have been used as capital." Holding the copper plate in his hand, he said to Meng Xizhou helplessly.

"How can we get all of them in? The yard full of dry firewood and those sacks of beans are not all earned, and starting tomorrow we will be able to earn real money." Gu Miao said with a smile.

In the early stage of doing business, you have to invest in costs, and her return is quite fast.

"Uncle Yun, when the time comes, put the copper coins you earned at your house, my husband and I can't hide anything in that thatched cottage," she said again.

Although the thatched cottage had changed the locks, with Zhao Chunying's top quality, it is absolutely possible to pick the locks.

"Just put it in Xiaozhou's room." Yun Mo nodded.

Meng Xizhou has a separate room in Yun's house, where Meng Xizhou's personal belongings are kept. Of course, now that Gu Miao and Meng Xizhou are married, this room also becomes Gu Miao's.

The layout of the room is very ordinary. What makes Gu Miao most envious is the small bookshelf on the wooden table. The young man followed Yun Mo to read and read. Although he couldn't pass the imperial examination, he didn't need to be blind.

The original owner was illiterate, so Gu Miao had to pretend to be illiterate all the time, which was really difficult, let alone idioms when speaking, and dared not even use elegant words.

Her cultural level is not very high, but she is used to living in later generations, and some vocabulary has been deeply rooted in her mind. In many contexts, she subconsciously wants to say idioms, and she almost reveals her secrets several times.

Moreover, he had to act as if he didn't know the words when he saw them, and even the numbers could only be counted to one hundred.

All kinds of details are too much to think about, and she really wants to find a time for the boy to teach her "literacy".

It’s better to hit the sun than to choose a day. Anyway, it’s snowing now, so let’s start this afternoon!

I made up my mind, Gu Miao is working hard, today's business is still very good, the mountain is covered by heavy snow, it is not easy to pick up dry firewood, many villagers came here with beans, Gu Tang and Gu Tian sisters also came, and brought a message:
Gu Fushun and Jiang Xiu's couple will be able to come back in the next day.
