The Strong Wife from Peasant Family

C6

Li Qingfeng woke up in a daze. Seeing that he was already in town, he smiled at Li Qingling in embarrassment. He didn't think that he would fall asleep the moment he sat down in the basket.

Li Qingling once again carried the basket on his back, held his hand, and followed Liu Zhimo into the town.

When he passed a steamed bun stall, Li Qingfeng swallowed saliva while smelling the fragrance of the steamed bun. He pursed his lips and looked around, he knew that his family had no money and could not afford the steamed bun.

From this, Li Qingling came to the conclusion that the Hall of Healing served the rich well, it was no different from the poor. On the other hand, the Hundred Herb Hall that was as famous as the Hall of Healing only served the rich.

"Young Master Li, you're here? You want to buy medicine? " Seeing Liu Zhimo and the other two, the medicine boy walked up to them and asked with a smile.

When Liu Zhimo's parents were ill, they were seen by a doctor from the World's Relief Hall. He came here to catch medicine several times, and the medicine boy recognized him.

Liu Zhimo shook his head, he pointed at Li Qingling and said to the medicine boy: "My sister wants to sell medicine, I wonder if the medicine shop will accept it?"

The medicine boy looked at Li Qingling, the smile on his face not changing, "May I ask what kind of medicine little sister wants to sell?"

Li Qingling secretly nodded his head. The service of this medicine store was not bad, and it did not look down on her because she was young and dressed in shabby clothes.

She took out the wild ginseng from her sleeve, opened the handkerchief and gave it to the medicine boy, "Little brother, I want to sell this wild ginseng, how much is the price?"

"This must be shown to our manager. Please wait a moment." The medicine boy took the Barbarian Ginseng from Li Qingling's hands and entered the room.

Not long after, a middle aged man with a short beard came out holding her ginseng. When Liu Zhimo saw him, he smiled and called him Zhou Manager.

"It's Young Master Li. Long time no see." The Zhou Manager was all smiles and had a good impression of Liu Zhimo. It was a pity that Teacher Liu had left early, and the youth had also dropped out of school.

"This is the Zhou Manager." Liu Zhimo introduced the place to Li Qingling and Li Qingling immediately bowed to Zhou Manager.

"Good morning, Zhou Manager!"

Zhou Manager stroked his beard, "Little miss, I've seen your ginseng, it's dug out pretty well. It's still in its roots, and since it's still young, I can only give you one tael of silver. What do you think?"

Li Qingling knew that the Ginseng wasn't very old, and wouldn't be worth much. He was already very satisfied that it could be sold for one tael of silver.

"It's possible!" She reached out and took a tael of silver from the Zhou Manager, "Shopkeeper, if I were to dig out other medicinal herbs, would I be able to sell them here?"

"Sure, pay the price for the ingredients."

"Thank you, Manager!" Li Qingling happily bowed to Zhou Manager, who waved his hands. He repeatedly said that he was impolite, but in his heart, he felt that this child was sincere.

After leaving the Gesun Hall, Liu Zhimo took the two books that he had copied and went to the bookstore. When Li Qingling saw that two of the books that Liu Zhimo had copied only cost him 20 gold, he was shocked.

"No!" Li Qingling shook his head, she just suddenly felt a pang for him, from his well-off family situation to the days where he never stopped to eat, it must be very tiring for him to come alone, and say: "I'm starving, let's go eat!"

She held onto a person with one hand and walked quickly towards the North Street. When she arrived at the steamed bun stand, the boss saw that business had come knocking on his door and quickly opened his mouth, "Does this little girl want to buy buns? "One meat bun costs 2 gold coins and one vegetable bun cost 1 word. You have a lot of filling to fill up, so if you eat the bun, you will have to turn back."

"Then I want six meat buns and six vegetable buns." The moment Li Qingling opened his mouth, he gave her a disapproving glance.

"You bought so many, can you finish them all?" Now that earning money was so difficult, she had to spend 18 gold coins in one go. With another 2 gold coins, she could buy 2 jin of brown rice.

Originally, when Li Qingfeng heard that Li Qingling wanted to buy so many steamed buns, he was quite happy. However, in the blink of an eye, after hearing Liu Zhimo's words, he became conflicted again. After hesitating for a moment, he tugged at Li Qingling's clothes.

Li Qingling told the boss to wrap up the buns as he said, "The three of us, along with my mother, Zhi Yan and Rou Rou, a total of six of us. It's not like I buy it often, it's just a rare occasion. "

Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment. He never thought that she would even think of his younger brother and sister. At this moment, his emotions were rather complicated.

Seeing that she was going to pay, he quickly stopped her. He took out the book he got from copying and prepared to buy rice for his sister for twenty cents. He counted out eighteen coins and handed it over to the steamed bun stall owner.

Li Qingling raised his eyebrows, and very straightforwardly took his hand back. In his previous life, he had heard someone say that to see if a man liked you or not, it depended on whether or not you were willing to spend money for him.

Although she didn't know whether Liu Zhimo really loved her or not, she felt that he would definitely love someone else.

"Delicious ..." Li Qingfeng had finally eaten the meat bun that he wanted to eat. He was so happy that he couldn't even see him anymore.

"Hot. Eat slowly." Li Qingling put the other six buns into the basket. Seeing that Li Qingfeng was in a hurry to eat them, he quickly spoke up.

Li Qingfeng nodded his head, his speed did not change, and seeing that Li Qingling did not care about him, he just did not choke.

She also picked up a meat bun and took a bite. She felt that the taste wasn't bad, and at this time, she felt that the food wasn't bad. The bun was quite big, so she was afraid that she would be full after eating a bun.

"Aren't you hungry?" Li Qingling had finished half a bun, but when he saw that Liu Zhimo had not started to eat yet, he said, "Hurry up and eat, we still have to go buy other things!"

Liu Zhimo glanced at her and was a little hesitant in his heart. But in the end, he still picked up a bun and started to eat, even though she was eating so sweetly.

It was a new experience, one he'd never had before, and it felt good now.

Li Qingling ate while watching, but after watching for a long time, he still could not find a way to earn money, even if it was setting up stalls, they would still need money!

At this time, she saw a cloth shop with her sharp eyes and told Liu Zhimo and Li Qingfeng to wait for her outside. She went in to take a look.

There were a lot of people shopping in the store. She raised her head and looked around. When she saw the chain hanging in the shop, her eyes lit up.

She wanted to ask how much it was, but after looking around, she found that there was only one person who was busy inside, probably the owner of the shop. Since that wasn't possible, she could only stand aside and wait.

"Manager, may I ask if you accept this kind of prescription?" She pointed to the string hanging on the wall.

Actually, when Li Qingling walked into the shop, Du Sanniang already saw him. He was busy, so whenhe saw him looking around, she did not say a word.

He didn't expect that this little girl would patiently wait for her to finish greeting the other guests before politely asking her.

This patience made her have a good impression of Li Qingling.

"Of course. It's simple style like this, one gold coin for one. This style is very complicated, one gold coin for one." Du Sanniang pointed out different channels for Li Qingling to see, giving his an idea.

Li Qingling nodded. He remembered that Mrs. Zhao knew how to weave lotus pouches, and also asked Du Shiniang if she wanted to accept it. Du Shiniang also said that she would accept it.

Hearing Du Shiniang's words, she thought for a bit and still felt that it would be better to make the ladle. The longer the time she spent embroidering the lotus, the more tired Mrs. Zhao would be.

"Manager, may I ask how much is a bundle of colored thread?"

"Six coins a bundle."

Li Qingling immediately spent eighteen gold coins to buy three bundles of colorful lines. She would make a Chinese knot, since there was no Chinese knot here, then he would send it to the shopkeeper to see how much the price was. If the price was high, she would teach Mrs. Zhao how to fight.

"Sis, what did you get?" Li Qingfeng asked curiously when he saw Li Qingling coming out.

Li Qingling held out his hand and pulled him back, "I bought some colorful threads and asked mother to use it to exchange for money." Finished, he looked at Liu Zhimo, "Zhi Moge, where should we go with the rice shop?" It had been a long time since he had come out. It was time to buy some things and go back.

Liu Zhimo said and then silently walked to the front to lead the way.

After walking for half a quarter of an hour, they arrived at a rice shop. Li Qingling asked for the price and bought ten kilograms of rice, twenty kilograms of brown rice, three kilograms of rapeseed oil, one kilogram of soy sauce and one kilogram of salt. He spent a total of four hundred and fifty-five coins.

"Here, this is yours." Li Qingling handed over five kilograms of rice and ten kilograms of brown rice to Liu Zhimo and Liu Zhimo stared at her without saying a word.

She put it into his basket and said shamelessly, "Just remember to be nice to me in the future." She remembered his kindness to her family.

Liu Zhimo pursed his lips and nodded heavily. He would treat her well for the rest of his life.

"I can go home after I buy some meat." Li Qingling thought about the pork meat that he hadn't seen in a long time, and felt like drool was going to come out of his mouth.

"Sis, do you want to buy meat?" Li Qingfeng looked at Li Qingling with wide eyes. Seeing Li Qingling's nod, he grinned and laughed. It had been a long time since he last ate meat.

Li Qingling felt a little sad when he saw him like this. She had to work hard to earn money so that his family could eat meat everyday.

"Uncle, how much is this meat?" Standing in front of the meat stall, Li Qingling asked.

"The fat one gets 15 gold coins, the thin one gets 10 gold coins." The butcher laughed heartily, "You've slaughtered a good pig today. Look at how fat this meat is! How much do you need? "

The more fat the better. Li Qingling shivered, "Uncle, help me cut out a catty of fat, a catty of lean meat." He saw the clean bone, "Uncle, give me this bone!"

"Sure, I'll give you these bones as a gift. Come and help me next time!" The meat stall owner straightforwardly tied up a few bones. In any case, no one bought these bones, so he had to give a favor to someone. "Little girl, it's a total of 25 taels of gold."

Li Qingling counted out 25 copper coins and gave it to him. He took the pork and placed it in the basket as he smiled at Liu Zhimo: "Alright, let's go home!"
