C10 The Shopkeeper's Abacus

"Of course I won't lie to you." The shopkeeper put away his abacus and glanced at her proud look. "Next time, just come at me."

"Words have no basis, use words as proof." Mei Qi Hua didn't know what it meant to stop when one sees something good. Although it was easy to talk to the shopkeeper now, it was still better to have a guarantee.

The shopkeeper was even more surprised when he heard her words. Does this little girl know these things? Even Uncle Fu, who had been working with him for a long time, didn't understand this. It seemed like she wasn't an ordinary peasant girl.

Knowing that this girl was not ordinary and that he also had a bit of liking for her, the shopkeeper immediately thought better of her.

He immediately ordered people to write their papers, signed their names, and pressed his fingerprint before handing the flowers to Mei Qi.

She picked it up and looked at it. Although it was a bit traditional, it was not complicated enough for her to not understand. After confirming that the words were correct, she wrote her name down and pressed the fingerprint on it.

After doing all this, Mei Qi Hua left Ru Yi Liquor House with the astonished Uncle Fu.

The shopkeeper stood at the door and watched as the three of them pulled the oxcart away. He instructed Dingzi, "This girl is not ordinary. If she sends any goods to you in the future, remember to ask me to come personally."

On the way to the grain store, Aunt Fu reached out her hand to stroke Seven Flower's hair. Seeing that her hair was a little messy, she gently stroked it for her.

"Seven flowers, how can you cook such delicious dishes?" Although Aunt Fu didn't taste it, but from the way that Manager Cui seemed to like it, it seemed like it was very tasty.

Mei Seven pursed her lips into a smile and stroked her hair. "How would I know how to cook? He originally wanted me to learn how to cook, but I just couldn't. That's why I switched to medicine. "

"So that's how it is." Aunt Fu didn't doubt him at all and nodded. "Then your literacy skills are also taught by the gods?"

Mei Qi Hua's heart skipped a beat. This was bad! He was so pleased with himself, he couldn't bring it up to the immortal.

"Nah, that's what my cousin Shitou taught me. He only taught me to write my name. I don't know anything else, I'm just trying to scare people off."

Aunt Fu was not the only one who laughed. Even Uncle Fu also laughed, praising her for being smart.

Soon after, they arrived at the grain store.

There were a lot of different kinds of grains in the grain store. Mei Qi Hua and Aunt Fu walked around inside and found that there was actually rice. However, the rice was priced at 100 taels per catty, so high that it was astonishing.

After that, there were 30 pieces of white flour, 20 pieces of corn flour, 15 pieces of sorghum flour, and 10 pieces of brown rice flour.

Although he had been poor in this life, he had no intention of feeling wronged. She touched the copper coin in her pocket and gritted her teeth as she bought two kilograms of flour and ten kilograms of corn flour.

She didn't want to buy it back as a staple food, but thinking that she was so extravagant that others might be suspicious of her, she bought another two catties.

In the blink of an eye, three hundred and ten coins had been spent. Mei Qi Hua felt some heartache. She had never thought that she would have a headache spending such a small amount of money one day.

Aunt Fu squeezed her hand. "Your family finally got some silver, why don't you save it?"

The meaning behind her words was that he was surprised that she had bought so much cornmeal and white flour.

Of course, Mei Qi Hua couldn't tell if he was used to it or not, so he used the stone as a shield and said, "My cousin Shi Yan is injured. He doesn't eat anything good. I'm still waiting for him to help me grow some food."

Aunt Fu felt that this was reasonable. Since Qi Duo's family didn't have any food, there was nothing she could do about it.

"But you spent so much, how are you going to buy grain later?"

After paying Aunt Fu to carry the things onto the ox-cart, Mei Qi Hua smiled mysteriously: "I have dug some herbs in the mountains. I can also buy some later after I change the money." In my family, even my mother and I can't grow too much food. "

Aunt Fu also laughed when she heard this. She reached out to touch her head: "This damned girl, there's a medicine store not far ahead. Do you want to go in and take a look?"

"Yes, I do. Wait for me here, aunty?" Seeing that they didn't have any intention to go, Mei Qianzhu asked.

"I wanted to follow you and help you, but you're so strong, we can't help you. We'll wait at the door for you to come out." While she was speaking, Aunt Fu had already brought her to the medicine store's door.

Mei Qi Hua did not insist. She simply nodded and went inside. On the counter, she saw a white-bearded old man reading a book.

She wasn't tall, so she knocked on the counter. The old man squinted at her.

"Do you accept medicinal herbs here?" Mei Qi Hua asked with a smile.

"I did, but the price wasn't that good!" The old man stroked his beard. Although it was strange that a little girl would come to sell medicine, it was not surprising that there were so many people gathering herbs in this mountain.

Hearing this, Mei Qi Hua took out the medicinal herbs that she hid in her bosom and placed them in front of the old man. "Take a look at these. How much are they worth?"

The old man opened the package and took a look at the herbs. His eyes lit up.

However, what was interesting was that ordinary people only knew that Pu Huang, Seven Fields, and the White Mao Roots could stop the bleeding, but they didn't know that the Mimosa Grass Root was also a good medicine to stop the bleeding. Even if they knew, they would rarely know of it.

However, the child in front of him, although he looked ordinary, he actually knew to look for these things. He was definitely not ordinary!

The old man sized up the seven plum blossoms without batting an eyelid. He then counted the herbs in the copper coin before opening his mouth, "Although your medicine is not bad, it's a small one. I'll give you a total of fifty coins."

Hearing this, Mei Qi Hua was dissatisfied, but after thinking about it, she did not know about the market price here. Besides, there were very few things here, it would be good if they were willing to take them.

Thinking of this, he immediately nodded his head.

The old man saw that she was quick with her words, so he didn't say anything further. He counted the money and put it in her hand. Then, seemingly unintentionally, he asked, "Your family studies medicine?"

"It's just that I have studied some herbs." With that, he faked the information and left.

However, the old man shook his head regretfully. "What a pity, what a pity."

After selling the herbs, Aunt Fu took Plum Blossom to buy the seeds. The price of the grains was ten times that of the grains. However, although the grain was expensive, he didn't need to buy too much.

This time, she bought half a tael of wheat, corn, sorghum, and brown rice for thirty-seven cents each. She also bought potatoes, soybeans, red rice, peppers, and cabbage for seventy cents each.

In the blink of an eye, all he had left was 117 words.

When they came out, Mei Qi Duo rubbed the money in his hands. The ten kilograms of noodles would only last him half a month. He didn't have much money on him, so he had to think of a way to earn more.

After buying what she wanted, Aunt Fu went back to the market to buy meat.

Thinking that she didn't have much money left, and since she could often catch some game to sacrifice, she temporarily didn't buy any meat. But after thinking about her poor family, she still spent 10% of her money to buy half a pound of lard to refine the oil. He spent seven coins to buy another catty of salt and went back to cooking.

When he was about to go back, he happened to pass by a clothes making drape. Mei Qi Duo held the money in her hand, and couldn't walk anymore.

She lowered her head to look at her clothes. The patches on her clothes were all folded, and even the original color of her clothes could no longer be seen.

Girls were born with a love for beauty, not to mention she came from the twenty-first century and had always lived a life of luxury, wearing the soul of luxury brands.

Now that the food was gone, she naturally wanted to wear it. No matter how poor she was, she wanted to clean herself up cleanly.
