I haven't made a system for many years.

After making a decision, the two went directly to a blacksmith shop not far away.

Meng Qing looked at the iron utensils on the shelves that he knew or didn't know, and felt a little impatient. Such a professional matter should be left to professional personnel, such as his host.

"You look at it and buy it, I don't know what to buy!"

Zheng Xuan nodded, "Brother Meng Qing, leave this matter to me, don't worry."

Meng Qing looked around. This blacksmith's shop was probably the best shop in the town. It not only had kitchen utensils, but also daggers and arrows.

"Ah Xuan, you watch here, I'll go over there to see the dagger."After finishing speaking, without waiting for Zheng Xuan's response, he left without hesitation.

Meng Qing took out the dagger and flicked it lightly, a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes, the quality was mediocre, and compared with his magical weapon, it was a thousand miles away. However, this kind of dealing with ordinary people was fine Yes, it is appropriate to hand over to Zheng Xuan for self-defense.

The blacksmith's shop is quite big, and there are three or four guys. One took care of his carriage after he entered the door, one was next to Zheng Qing, and the two were negotiating prices there, and the other was always by Meng's side as a transparent person. .

The guy was also very wronged, he wanted to introduce the things in the store, but after seeing Meng Qing's physique, he felt that he was not easy to mess with, so Gu stood aside to make a background board.

Meng Qing looked at it for a long time before choosing twenty arrows and three daggers.

As soon as Meng Qing turned around with the things in hand, he looked at the things the two guys were holding in their hands.

Zheng Xuan noticed his gaze, scratched his head and said, "There are indeed a lot of people, but they are all necessary."

Meng Qing clicked his tongue, "Why are you so nervous, I didn't say anything."

After this day of getting along, Zheng Xuan has basically understood what kind of person Meng Qing is, so he has become more courageous.

"I was nervous there."After hearing this, Meng Qing hurriedly leaned over and stared at Zheng Xuan. Zheng Xuan took a deep breath, and tried hard to look at Meng Qing, not to let himself fall.

The two looked at each other for about ten seconds, and Meng Qing couldn't help but burst out laughing seeing him pretending to be indifferent even though he was obviously scared.Ever since he knew that guy Bai Xuan, he had never seen him so cute, and he felt more and more that this world was in the right place.

Just after Meng Qing burst out laughing, Zheng Xuan couldn't help laughing too. The two laughed for a while, and then said to the guy who had been ignored by them for a long time, "We want all these things."

The buddy opened his mouth, he really made a lot of money today, "Guest, this kitchen knife is 210 yuan a piece, it is cheaper for you, it is 210 yuan. The scissors are [-] yuan, and these pots, shovels and iron pans are worth [-] yuan in total. The little brother holds a dagger of [-] Wen, and an arrow of [-] Wen. The total is [-] Wen."

Meng Qing raised his eyebrows, it's not even two taels of silver, it's very cheap.

The two picked up their things and went out, Zheng Xuan did the math, they still had 58 taels of silver.

"Other things, we will buy them later, this winter is still very long, let's go buy food first!"

Meng Qing thought for a while, then nodded. Indeed, they only have 50 taels left. I'm afraid they won't be able to enjoy their purchases this time, so let's buy the important things first!

Meng Qing pulled the horse, and the two walked towards the rice store.

The guys in the store greeted them warmly, "Take a look, what do you want to buy? We have everything here."This is a grocery store, and the clerk had seen it a long time ago. They just looked boldly in the blacksmith's shop.

Meng Qing glanced at it, and there really was everything, but it was just some miscellaneous little things.Meng Qing couldn't bear to look for it either, so he said, "Ah Xuan, this task is still entrusted to you. Take a look at the things here, and buy everything you need at home!"

"Two packs of salt, one pot of soy sauce, one pot of white wine, ten white porcelain plates, five bowls, ten pairs of chopsticks, three black earthen jars, two wooden basins, and one large wooden basin..."

Zheng Xuan read a lot of things, it is true that the house is too simple.

The guys looked at the things piled up all over the floor, grinning and calculating the price.

"A total of 650 and 640, let's count you [-]!"

Meng Qing generously took out three taels of silver, and the assistant gave him 360 Wen.The two of them moved all the things into the carriage in two trips.

Zheng Xuan twitched the corners of his eyes, the carriage was already more than half full, and this was due to the large size of the carriage.

The man watched the two of them leave, and said with emotion, "It seems that the family still needs a wife, otherwise, no matter how much money you have, you will lose it sooner or later."Obviously they did not have the awareness to become prodigal sons.

The two finally moved to the most important grain shop.

"What do the two guests want to order? There are prices on it."

Meng Qing glanced at it. A bucket of rice is three hundred Wen, a bucket is about 0.6 kilograms, white flour is one or twenty Wen, and corn flour is one or two nine Wen.Bai Qing didn't want to treat his stomach badly, so he only looked at refined grains.

Meng Qing glanced at the sky outside, it was about twelve o'clock in the morning, and they had to hurry up.

"Buy two stones of rice, twenty catties of white flour, and twenty catties of cornmeal."

The guy was a little stunned for a while, but after realizing it, he quickly calculated the price, "One bucket of rice is three hundred renminbi, one stone is three silver, twenty catties of white flour is two hundred renminbi, twenty catties of cornmeal is 180 renminbi, a total of six taels and 380 renminbi, a fraction Erase, a total of six, two or three hundred words"

Zheng Xuan stared blankly at Meng Qing, "Well, we all buy refined grains?"

Meng Qing nodded, "Of course, fine grains are delicious."Two stones is 120 catties, which should be enough for them to eat this winter.

It's delicious, but isn't it delicious?Zheng Xuan wanted to persuade, but seeing Meng Qing's firm appearance, he finally said nothing.

The two of them dragged their food out, looked at the full carriage, and Meng Qing took a look at the street that they basically swept away. "Is there anything else I want to buy?" Zheng Xuan thought for a while, "I should have bought almost all of them."

Meng Qing thought for a while, food, clothing, housing and transportation are still short of housing. The house cannot be built at present, and it is still difficult to sell furniture. What's more, he plans to move to the town to live in the future, which is also convenient for Zheng Xuan to study.

Now, it seems that after returning, he still has to work hard to make money, and strive to make enough money in the coming year to send Zheng Xuan to study and then buy a house.

"No, we haven't bought quilts yet"

The two changed another shop and bought four quilts, and this one cost another ten taels of silver.

Meng Qing sighed, Hua said that shopping was really tiring, he looked at the sky that was about to darken, and said, "Okay, there is one last stop, we can go back after shopping."

After finishing speaking, he took Zheng Xuan to the largest bookstore in the town, Master Bookstore.

"Come on, let's go there and have a look."

Seeing him walking towards the bookstore, Zheng Xuan was very excited. Although he had just heard Meng Qing tell him to go study, after all, he just heard that and now, he can go buy books.

"Shopkeeper, how do you sell this book?"

The shopkeeper saw that the two of them didn't look like scholars, so he didn't care, and just said, "Look for yourself, there are prices under the bookshelves."

Meng Qing shrugged and pulled Zheng Xuan into the pile of books.

Meng Qing didn't like reading very much, let alone this kind of ancient prose. He bumped into Zheng Xuan, "Hey, what kind of books do you like to read? Take it yourself, I don't know much about it."

Zheng Xuan looked at the bookshelf longingly, pointing to nearly ten books in a row.He pointed to one, and Meng Qing took one.When the two came out, they already had thirteen books in their hands.

The shopkeeper looked at the two of them in surprise. It seemed that he had misread it. These two were willing to spend money on books.

The shopkeeper divided the books in their hands into three stacks, "One tael of silver for this category, one for six hundred cash for this category, and one for five hundred cash for this category. Are you sure you want to buy it?"

It's not that the shopkeeper looked down on them, it's that the two of them don't look like scholars.

Meng Qing secretly thought, no wonder studying is expensive.

"I bought them all. Does the shopkeeper have pens, inks, papers and inkstones here? If there are, I also bought them all together."

"Yes, yes, the shopkeeper took out a few sheets of white paper, a few pieces of graphite and an inkstone from the cabinet behind him, as well as various brushes, paperweights, and pen holders" and spread them out on the counter.

"Look, what do you want?"

Both of them had bright eyes. Meng Qing touched the white paper, chose the one with the best feel, and then took the best ink and inkstone respectively, and said, "Buy two stacks of this paper, and I will give you the graphite as well." I have three yuan, and I will buy a set of brushes, paperweights, and pen holders."

Zheng Xuan didn't stop him this time, but looked at the things on the table with bright eyes.

The shopkeeper coughed lightly, and said calmly, "One piece of white paper is five cents, and two stacks count as one tael for you. You have one tael of silver. This book has two copies of one tael of silver, seven books of 18 cash, and four books of 18 cash. The total is [-] taels and [-] taels. If the odds are erased, the total is [-] taels.”

The shopkeeper tapped his abacus and said a number that surprised both of them.

Meng Qing put on the money readily, but at the same time felt that the stationery was expensive. After all, the amount of food he bought just now was not as much as these things.

Seeing how readily he took out the money, the shopkeeper took out a stack of money from under the counter, and said, "Look at how straightforward the two little brothers are, I'll give this stack of irregular papers to you two."

Meng Qing hurriedly thanked him, Meng Qing was also lucky today, otherwise he would not have to bargain for the price when he bought things like them, and he would be taken as a victim.

"Can we go back now?" Zheng Che asked eagerly, there is no way, who made him rush home and watch now.

Meng Qing flicked his forehead amusedly, "What's the rush, I haven't finished shopping yet."

Zheng Xuan said, "Is there anything else you haven't bought?"

"Hey, pork, and so much roasted seeds and nuts, I want to eat them all."

Zheng Xuan patted his head, yes, there is no pork, how can they boil oil.

The two went to the pork stall, and chose one piece of fatty meat, the other piece of lean meat, and the other piece of pork belly.

"how much is the total?"

It was the first time that the boss who bought the meat didn't ask the price or the price when he saw a buyer like this.

However, he looked at the scar on Meng Qing's arm, and at his tall height, he didn't dare to make any small moves.

"Fatty meat is 45 Wen per catty, a total of 340 Wen per catty, lean meat is [-] Wen per catty, which is exactly five catties, and pork belly is [-] Wen per catty, which is exactly one catty. The total is [-] Wen."

Meng Qing frowned, the butcher was taken aback, and quickly said, "The meat in this town is all at this price. I didn't lie to you. If you don't believe me, go ask."

Meng Qing glanced at the nervous boss, wondering why the boss was nervous, he just thought it was too cheap.

"How about this, you bring me four more pig's trotters, two catties of lean meat, and these bones, I want them all."

The boss breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, there are five hundred coins in total, and these bones will be given to the two brothers."

After Meng Qing paid the money, he took the pork and started to load the car, "Ah Xuan, go buy some fried seeds like melon seeds, peanuts and broad beans, this is waiting for you here."

Meng Qing gave Zheng Xuan all the copper coins on his body and asked him to go shopping.

Roasted seeds and nuts are all farm products that are not expensive at all, and Zheng Xuan bought a bunch of them for only [-] Wen.

After putting the things away, Meng Qing said, "Finally I've bought it, let's go have a meal and then go back!"

Meng Qing was about to go to the restaurant, but Zheng Xuan stopped him, "Wait a minute, we bought so many things, we can't go to the restaurant anymore, let's go there and have a bowl of beef noodles!"

Zheng Xuan finally expressed his opinion, of course Meng Qing would not refuse, both of them ordered a big bowl of beef noodles.

"The boss pays the bill"

"Okay, the total is 32 Wen."

Meng Qing took out a tael of silver, and the boss quickly said, "Guest officer, this shop is small, so I can't find such a large amount of money."

Zheng Xuan quickly took out 32 copper coins and said "here".The boss quickly took it.

Meng Qing glanced at him in surprise, he didn't expect to buy so many things and still have money left.

Zheng Xuan misunderstood, and quickly explained, "I didn't mean to take your money, I haven't had time to tell you just now, so."

Meng Qing patted his head. The height advantage, he finally knew why Ah Xuan liked rubbing his head so much before.

"What's the rush? It was originally for you. From now on, all the money in the family will belong to you."

In addition to Zheng Xuan's remaining 28 taels of silver, 150 taels of silver, there are only nine taels of silver left.

Zheng Xuan pursed his lips and handed the bag to him, "Put it away quickly, the town is not safe, let's go back quickly."

Meng Qing glanced around, thinking that the way they just swept the goods was indeed too eye-catching.

The carriage was already full of things and there was no room to sit. Meng Qing and Zheng Xuan both sat outside, and they drove the carriage and left.

It is already past five o'clock in the afternoon, and it only takes more than a quarter of an hour to go back by carriage.

The snow outside was still very thick, and the carriage was struggling to walk on the snow. Fortunately, there was no wind, so Zheng Xuan and Meng Qing's little faces could be saved.
