Concubine's plan

"Blah, blah!"

While Xun Yingju was listening, the strange sound came again. She chased in the direction of the sound, pulled away the grass, and found two colorful little things, which turned out to be two pheasants fighting. They were fighting to the death and didn't even notice that there were two fire-breathing eyes staring at them.

At this time, Xun Yingju was also in a hurry. She regretted why she didn't go to Aunt Cai's house to borrow a sickle or even a kitchen knife when she came out. It's alright. It's not like she doesn't even have a handy weapon now. At this time, she really wanted a weapon. Thinking about the steel knives and short knives she used in her previous life, they were easier to use than thermal weapons. What a pity, what a pity. , those handy weapons were not brought over.

After feeling aggrieved, Xun Yingju still found the handy weapon, quietly returned to the place where she collected firewood, picked up four or five short pieces of wood, and quietly touched them back. The pheasants are still fighting each other. One pheasant is big and has difficulty moving. He was beaten miserably by his opponent. He lost a piece of feathers on his neck and became bald on his head. Now he is losing ground. The other one is in better condition. A lot, at least nothing could be seen on the surface.

Seeing the opportunity, she quickly threw out the wooden stick in her hand. Xun Yingju did a little processing on the wooden stick, and made a sharp tip out of the wood. After she threw it out, she directly inserted it into the two pheasants. The chicken's neck. Blood spurted out immediately. Anyone who has killed a chicken knows that the chicken will not die immediately after being wiped on the neck, but will flop on the ground a few times. Pheasants also have this characteristic. Each pheasant has a stick stuck in its neck. The wooden stick as thick as a thumb was still flapping on the ground.

No matter how much the pheasant didn't want to die, it still shed the last drop of blood, and finally fell weakly in the grass, unable to move anymore. Xun Yingju clapped her hands, squatted down, and smiled at death. The pheasant said:"It is definitely your luck to be able to become a human's bowl of Chinese food. Don't worry, I believe I won't let you die in vain."

After saying that, he picked up the two pheasants and carried firewood down the mountain. When he got home, the sun had just risen. Bai had already gotten up and was preparing to embroider some handkerchiefs for Xun Yingju to take to the town and sell to support the family.

Spring sleep and the sound of rain were just They watched helplessly, not knowing what to do. It was supposed to be time to start making breakfast, but there were no pots and pans at home, and there was no food. If we didn't find a way to get food, I'm afraid several people would starve to death.

Seeing this scene, Xun Yingju was helpless for a while, threw the pheasant in the yard, went into the house and took the hawthorn that Aunt Cai had sent yesterday, and said with a smile:"Mom, I will take Chun Mian to the town to sell pheasants, and buy some grain when I come back. I will wait for Uncle Cai to deliver it later." Please keep an eye on the hawthorns and jujubes, and accept as many as you want."As he said this, he took out about a hundred copper coins from his arms and handed them to Bai.

"Wouldn't it be better to use the money to buy food? Why buy those mountain products?"Ms. Bai didn't understand why she didn't buy food first, but instead bought things that couldn't be used as food even though she had money.

"I only have this money, and we still lack a lot of things. Not to mention pots and pans, we must have a set of bedding, but this little money is not enough."What Xun Yingju didn't say was that not only was it not enough, but it was far from enough. She could only explain the truth to Ms. Bai in detail. The most important thing now is to make money. After she finished speaking, she added:"When Aunt Cai came, by the way, did her family have anything? There were no unused pots, so we borrowed them for a few days. After a few days, we transferred the money and bought new ones and returned them to them."

When she heard that she still wanted to buy a pot, Bai immediately fell silent, turned around and went back to the house without saying a word, and soon came out again, handed a purse showing lotus flowers to Xun Yingju, and said:"I still have some money here, take it and see if it's still there. If there is anything we need to buy, let’s buy the pot ourselves, so don’t borrow it yet."

Taking the purse, Xun Yingju weighed the weight and found that it weighed two taels of silver. She secretly praised the Bai family for being a scheming person. She didn't bring out much gold and silver jewelry and hid two taels of silver. Xun Jingju was not favored by the Xun family. Chong, she didn’t have much money on her hands. When she left the Xun Mansion, she hid a hundred coins secretly. Even if Xun Yinglan really wanted to search her body, she couldn’t find it. She didn’t expect that the Bai family also had this ability.

"Okay, mother, I will take this money, and I will definitely honor you in the future, let you live a good life, wear gold and silver, and become the richest woman in the village."Xun Yingju kept saying nice things, coaxing Ms. Bai to smile from ear to ear.

Watching the sun rise higher, Xun Yingju chatted with Ms. Bai for a few more words, then she carried the pheasant and Chun Mian and walked towards Qingshui Town. It takes half an hour to walk from Hongshan Village to Qingshui Town. Xun Yingju did not call for a carriage, but walked to the town.

Soon the two of them arrived in the town. It was the morning market in the town. The morning market was very lively. There were sellers of dried vegetables. There were sellers of dried wild mushrooms and game. Along the way, Xun Yingju inquired about the price of game. After asking a few more questions, she knew the price of pheasants. She found an open space next to an uncle selling vegetables and looked at the uncle. He was a simple and honest man and asked with a smile:"Uncle, is there anyone setting up a stall here?"

The uncle saw two little girls, both dressed in cotton clothes, but without pudding. However, he looked at the two little girls who were only ten years old. They were plump and very cute. He looked at him pitifully. He couldn't bear it and said:"There is no one here, so you can sell wild animals here.""

"Thank you uncle, thank you uncle."Xun Yingju knew that the other party felt sorry for them. They were little girls and gave up a place. She left to express her gratitude.

She arranged for Chun Mian to sell game at the stall. Xun Yingju went to the blacksmith shop and inquired about the price of the iron pot. It turned out to be one hundred and twenty coins. She couldn't help but click her tongue when she heard the price. It seemed that the two taels of silver in her hand couldn't buy much at all.

The blacksmith saw Xun Yingju hesitate, but seeing that she was well-dressed, he thought she was not short of money, but the little girl didn't let go and wanted to buy it. Then he said:"My iron pot is well-known in Qingshui Town. An iron pot can be used for ten years. Many customers are introduced by old customers."

Xun Yingju is a discerning person. This iron pot is really good. At least it is non-stick for cooking. The price is not expensive compared to the price of iron in the Zhou Dynasty, but she has no money. Thinking about it, her eyes fell on On the side of the spoon and shovel, he said with a smile:"Uncle, I really don't have much money here. I see that your spoons and shovels are very good. They can't be sold elsewhere. Why don't I buy a pot?" Can you give me a set of spoons and shovels?"

"Hey, the little girl is very good at bargaining!"When the master blacksmith saw that Xun Yingju was so good at talking and that her craftsmanship was praised, he immediately nodded generously and said:"The little girl is a good talker, so I will do as you say. Xun

Yingju took the spatula handed over by the blacksmith and said with a smile:"Thank you very much, uncle. In the future, if there is someone who does iron work at home, I will order it from you.""
