Chapter 107 Buying a Rabbit
Chapter 107 Buying a Rabbit
Gu Zhaoyun seldom came to such occasions and was a little reserved. Gu Yanyi ran around like an eagle that had been released.
Suddenly, he stopped and stood in front of a stall.
Zhao Qiqi looked over there, took Gu Zhaoyun's hand and went over there.
This kid wants to eat rabbit meat, but she doesn't know how to cook it. She rarely eats this in modern times, so she doesn't know how to cook it. But if it's braised, it's almost the same. With enough seasoning and the right heat, there should be no problem.
"Mom, I want to buy a pair of rabbits for Xiaowu, is that okay?" Gu Yanyi looked at Zhao Qiqi with anticipation.
Doesn’t this brat really want to eat rabbit meat?
However, looking at Gu Zhaoyun's expression, Zhao Qiqi knew that she must be very happy.
She nodded and agreed. She didn't have to pay for the money and she didn't have to raise the rabbits, so she had nothing to say.
Even the chickens in the chicken coop are often fed by Gu Zhaoyun. There is no doubt that this rabbit will be raised to be plump and white... and it will also be delicious. Bah, bah, bah, what are you thinking about.
Gu Zhaoyun carried the pair of rabbits by himself, and he felt more adapted and relaxed. He walked around and bought some new gadgets and food from time to time.
Suddenly, he saw a jewelry stall with quite a few jade hairpins on it. They were all very beautiful. Zhao Qiqi couldn't help but pick one up to take a look. The pink and white jade was inlaid on the silver hairpin, which made the whole look harmonious and elegant.
Zhao Qiqi inserted the hairpin into Gu Zhaoyun's bun, and her face suddenly turned red. She had never worn such a thing before.
Looking at the shy look of this little girl, Zhao Qiqi continued to choose in a good mood without asking her if she wanted it. There is a saying that goes, someone who really wants to give something will not ask you if you want it.
Of course, Hu Lan's items are also necessary. If she wants to wear them out everyday, they have to be kept clean. Otherwise, she feels that Hu Lan will put them away and put them in a box to look at them.
There was a magnolia hairpin made of white chalcedony, which looked very suitable for her. Zhao Qiqi asked the vendor to pack it up and paid for it. Gu Zhaoyun wanted to take the hairpin down and keep it away.
"What are you going to do with it? Since you bought it, you're going to wear it. What's the point of buying it if you're not going to wear it? Wear it well. Even if it breaks, it's okay. Mom will buy you eight or ten more."
Zhao Qiqi knew that the little girl took it down because she was worried that it would be broken and she would waste money. It was not because she didn't like it, but because she liked it very much. After saying that, she really wanted to go back to the stall and buy some more for Gu Zhaoyun.
Gu Zhaoyun hurriedly pulled his mother down. He didn't know how his mother went from being stingy to spending money like water. Although their family was much better off now, at the rate his mother was spending, the money would be spent soon.
The money was all in Zhao Qiqi's hands, and he never told them how much money there was in total, so the children couldn't help but worry about it all the time.
Since they were not allowed to buy hairpins, Zhao Qiqi took them to buy a lot of clothes and fabrics. Don't think that she couldn't see the inquiring look of Boss Yan. He must be wondering how Zhao Qiqi's family could spend dozens of tattered taels of silver when they were wearing such tattered clothes.
In fact, it’s no wonder that Boss Yan was curious, because she was still wearing her original tattered and patched clothes today. To put it nicely, it can be seen that they are farmers, but to put it bluntly, others would simply think they are beggars.
Of course, they also brought a lot of delicious food for Hu Lan and Gu Yanyan, as well as some pens, ink, paper and inkstones. The children in the family would be sent to school to study, so pens, ink, paper and inkstones were naturally indispensable. Although it was cheaper to buy them in the system, it was less likely to arouse suspicion if they were bought in the town. After all, the craftsmanship was quite different.
While walking around, Zhao Qiqi saw a man coming out of a shop that looked like a restaurant.
The man looked familiar, so Zhao Qiqi's attention was immediately attracted to him. Zhao Qiqi took a closer look and found that he was very similar to Li Quan, but he was much thinner, so he should not be him.
Zhao Qiqi shook her head. It didn't matter to her whether it was true or not. Even if she suspected that Liu Qilai's visit to their village was related to Li Quan, she had no evidence. However, she had already told the head of the village about her doubts. As long as Li Quan returned to the village, he would be taken away for questioning.
Their family must have settled down in the town, as they haven't returned to Gujia Village for such a long time.
She was thinking about the school. Since it was almost completed, it would be better to hire a professional teacher. After all, Gu Yanyan had to go to school in the morning and do accounting and inventory in the warehouse in the afternoon.
Master Qu was just one of the teachers in Qixian Academy. There were many other teachers teaching there. Master Qu also said that some scholars who could not afford to continue their studies set up a small stall there to copy books for people.
These people are just right to become the teachers of Gujia Village. After all, the level of the children in Gujia Village is not high and they still want enlightenment education, so it is most appropriate to invite a scholar.
"Get lost, get lost! I've told you so many times that you are not allowed to copy books here. Our bookstores are all cooperative. You are disrupting the market rules! Don't come here again, you hear me? If you come here again, we will destroy your stalls again."
The scholar whose stall was smashed hurriedly protected the inkstone, pen, and paper on the ground. It didn't matter that the table was gone, as it was made of the wood he had chopped himself. But the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone all cost money, as they were also his tools for making money.
The man who overturned the stall kicked it a few times, then ignored him. The people from the other stalls were packing up their things. Fortunately, they were not the first ones, as they were quick and had already packed up their things. They didn't even need the table anymore and ran away quickly.
Those who were slower inevitably got kicked a few times, but at least they managed to keep their stuff.
He Xiucai was sad to find that his inkstone was broken, and he remained unmoved even when the strong man kicked him several times.
"Bah, what bad luck! I'll let you go today. Get out of here now."
Everyone else ran away, leaving only He Xiucai there.
As soon as Zhao Qiqi got off the carriage, he saw He Xiucai wiping his tears sadly, commemorating his dead inkstone.
"Hello, little brother. I would like to ask if there are any scholars here who can teach?"
Those who studied in the academy were not short of money, so Zhao Qiqi was looking for people like He Xiucai, who were poor, unemployed, and educated.
She fell in love with the person in front of her at first sight.
Until the two of them signed the contract, He Xiucai was still confused. He had just been beaten up for a book copying job that earned him a few dozen cents, and the next second he got a job that paid only one or two catties a month?
It is better to let him teach in the village. This is much more interesting than asking him to copy books.
"Madam, do you really want to use me?"
