    ?

    Yuzhi glanced at Chen Yaozu who was collecting money, and said in a low voice: "Mother, I understand, let's talk about this matter when we have a clue!"

    Wang was also afraid that her husband would notice, so she hurriedly got up and went to help.

    She saved these coins one by one when her husband was not paying attention. She has been in business for more than ten years and has been exposed to wind and sun for more than ten years.  They all filled the bottomless pit of the Chen family.

    Xiulan walked over, moved a small stool and sat down next to Yuzhi, and said disconsolately, "Yuzhi, your handwriting is much better than before."

    Yuzhi looked at her with raised eyebrows: "My handwriting was also very good before!"

    Xiulan laughed with a snort: "Yuzhi, we have known each other since we were in Qin Xiucai's school. We were classmates for two years, how many years have we been now? Do you think I don't know what your handwriting looks like?  "

    Yuzhi couldn't be sure about the previous situation, so she refused to say more, but just smiled: "Aren't I allowed to work hard in secret?"

    Xiulan leaned against Yuzhi: "I know you like Qin Rui too, do you want to practice calligraphy secretly so that Qin Rui likes you more?"

    Yuzhi thought about Qin Rui's appearance, and thought: This Qin Rui is probably not very old, right?

    She looked at Xiulan: "Let me tell you, how old is Qin Rui this year?"

    Xiulan said happily: "Qin Rui is about the same age as me, also fourteen years old, but he is already this tall at fourteen, how tall will he be when he is sixteen? By then he will be as tall as I am  "

    Xiulan was happily thinking about the beautiful and picturesque future, but the image of sixteen-year-old Lin Qin emerged in Yuzhi's mind¡ªwhat will Lin Qin look like today?  How tall will it be?  Who do you look like?

    The more she thought about it, the sadder she became, and she couldn't help but sighed.

    Xiulan heard Yuzhi sigh, and hurriedly said: "Oh, Yuzhi, don't be unhappy, I allow you to like Qin Rui too, isn't it okay?"

    Yuzhi: ""

    Although she is thirteen years old now, she feels that she is twenty-three or twenty-four years old in her heart. When she thinks of her getting involved with brother Qin Rui, who is only fourteen years old, she has goosebumps.

    Yuzhi didn't dare to imagine it anymore, it was too weird, she hugged Xiulan and said, "Don't worry, I don't like Qin Rui now!"

    Xiulan didn't believe it, she thought Yuzhi was forcing a smile, so she said, "Yuzhi, don't be unhappy, let me go shopping with you in the street!"

    Yuzhi's heart moved, so she went to Wang and said that she wanted to go to the street with Xiulan to relax.

    Mrs. Wang glanced at Chen Yaozu and said, "Her father, let Yuzhi go out for a stroll!"

    Chen Yaozu muffled: "Don't go shopping for too long!"

    After thinking for a while, he took out two copper coins from the money box: "Take it out and buy some snacks!"

    Yuzhi was not doing well, Xiulan's red phoenix eyes were rounded, and she watched Yuzhi take the two copper coins handed over by Chen Yaozu as if she had seen a ghost during the day.

    Yuzhi gave Xiulan a hand without a trace, and walked eastward.

    When it was some distance away from her meat stall, Yuzhi asked Xiulan: "Xiulan, do you know where we are posting notices in Xihe Town?"

    Xiulan pointed to the intersection in front of her and said, "Turn right at the intersection ahead and you will find Sun Lizheng's house. Official notices are posted on the wall outside Sun Lizheng's house. We used to pass by the school every day. Have you forgotten?"

    Yuzhi smiled: "How old was I then, how old am I now, and there was a gap of several years, how could I still remember?"

    As she spoke, she led Xiulan to turn right when she reached the intersection, and she really saw the white wall of the first house in the east, Daiwa, which was very neat, and a section of the courtyard wall facing the street was recessed into a square, and the top was painted with black paint.  There are two words-"Notice" written on it, and many notices with big red stamps are pasted on the bottom of the notice.

    Yuzhi pretended to be curious, and walked over to have a look with her hands behind her back.

    Xiulan also followed, and seeing Yuzhi's fascination, she murmured: "In those two years of schooling, I only memorized the Three Character Classic and the Thousand Character Classic, and now I only remember a few sentences from the Three Character Classic.  Return all the rest to Qin Xiucai!"

    Yuzhi looked up and looked at her calmly, but her heart was beating very fast¡ªshe tried to search for information related to Lin Qin from the layers of notices.

    Unfortunately, there is nothing.

    After reading the last notice, Yuzhi was overwhelmed with disappointment.

    Ganzhou is far in the northwest, and it is too far from the capital

    Yuzhi didn't get depressed for too long, she quickly summoned up her courage again - first work hard to earn money, and then find a way to go to the capital, there is always a way to meet Lin Qin!

    She looked at Xiulan with a smile: "Xiulan, if I want to buy a charcoal stove, then?Some charcoal, where can I buy it?  "

    Xiulan smiled: "Let's go, you treat me to five-spice melon seeds, and I'll show you where to buy charcoal stoves and charcoal!"

    Standing in the big and messy grocery store, Yuzhi couldn't help laughing¡ªthere is such a full-stock grocery store in Xihe Town!

    She first took a copper coin to buy a pack of melon seeds and a pack of mints, and let Xiulan eat first, while she went to see the charcoal stove and charcoal.

    After asking the price, Yuzhi knew what she wanted, so she left with Xiulan.

    After she had nothing to do, she ate melon seeds and mints with Xiulan, and strolled around Xihe Town.

    Xihe Town is really not big, but four streets in the shape of a well. Yuzhi and Xiulan strolled and chatted, and walked around in a short time.

    However, the stroll was quite rewarding. Yuzhi at least knew the location of the home of Mrs. Han Jiu, a matchmaker and matchmaker in Xihe Town, and where Qin Rui's home was¡ªit was Xiulan who dragged her there.

    Back at her butcher¡¯s stall, Yuzhi went to check the meat left on the meat table, and found that there was indeed a lot of meat left today. She looked at the few people on the street, then at the golden sunset in the west, and then looked at the meat.  To Chen Yaozu: "Father, what should we do with so much meat left? Fresh meat is different from the next day's meat. I'm afraid it won't be easy to sell tomorrow!"

    Chen Yaozu said in a low voice: "Go home and pickle it with salt!"

    Mrs. Wang frowned and said: "If the meat is marinated, the family members can only eat it by themselves. What should we do with our money?"

    Chen Yaozu was also a little helpless.

    ?It has been raining a lot recently, and half a pig can't be sold out in a day. If this goes on like this, I really lost all the money I had to buy a pig.

    Yuzhi then said: "Father, I heard a customer from Luzhou tell me a recipe for making brine. The meat boiled in brine overnight is salty and fresh, and it should be sold."

    Chen Yaozu said impatiently: "What do children know!"

    Yuzhi is not afraid at all: "Father, let me try it. I will try it with two catties of meat. Cook it overnight and sell it tomorrow. When the time comes, let customers taste it first, and buy it if they feel good!"

    Chen Yaozu was in a hurry and went to the doctor right now, so he had to ask: "What do you need to make brine?"

    Yuzhi thought for a while, then said: "I have to go to the stall of Xiulan's house to buy some spices such as nutmeg, cinnamon, angelica dahurica, and cloves. Daddy will give me fifty copper coins; I also need to buy an iron pot.  To buy a small charcoal stove and some charcoal, it will cost about five hundred dollars. If you buy all these, you will have five hundred and fifty dollars.¡±

    She just wanted to make Chen Yaozu quit in spite of the difficulties.

    Chen Yaozu calculated the money he earned today, and found that he could only give Yuzhi the cost of buying pigs tomorrow. This matter had to be discussed with Yuzhi's grandma, but her grandma would definitely not agree.

    He suddenly fell silent.

    Yuzhi looked at Chen Yaozu's expressionless face in the twilight, made a deliberate look of disappointment, and sighed: "Oh, my grandma will never agree!"

    She looked at Mrs. Wang: "Mother, if my grandma refuses to let me make stewed pork, can you borrow five hundred dollars from other places, and we will return the money when we earn it?"

    Wang's blessing was so deep in his heart that he understood Yuzhi's plan, and immediately said: "Go home tonight, let your father have a good talk with your grandma first!"

    Chen Yaozu remained silent.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
