Chapter 122 I don’t know if you are married

Lin Zhiyi shook his head and said, "Not for sale."

"Please wait a moment."

Boss Cui ran to call his wife over, and he wanted to go into the inner room to discuss things with his wife.

If this kind of plow can really be popularized, it will be beneficial to the development of agriculture in Dagan. He will have made a great contribution and even the court will reward him.

It will also be beneficial to the future development of their shop.

He doesn't want to miss this opportunity.

But did this girl really not coax him?

Lin Zhi thought that since she respected her wife so much, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with her character.

She was very satisfied with Boss Cui.

The two went in to discuss something and came out after a while.

Boss Cui walked up to Lin Zhiyi and said, "Okay."

Just now, Boss Cui came into the house, and his wife advised him that if the plow that Lin Zhiyi mentioned didn't work, it wouldn't be a big loss for their shop; they would just lose money.

If it is true as this girl said, then they really met a noble person today.

"Girl, let's go into the inner room and talk."

Boss Cui said.

"good."

Lin Zhiyi followed Boss Cui into the inner room and drew a blueprint just in case.

The two of them signed the contract document on the drawings in duplicate.

Lin Zhiyi explained the principle of the plowshare in the drawing to Boss Cui again. After all, Boss Cui had been studying agricultural tools for many years, so he understood it immediately and knew how to forge it.

"It's really wonderful!"

Looking at Boss Cui's obsessed look, I couldn't wait to start forging.

"When will Boss Cui be able to finish it? We need it urgently."

"Tomorrow, just give me one day. Miss, you can leave your address first. If it's ready, I can send it to you."

If it's fast, he can forge it in half a day.

But after he finished it, he wanted to send it to Lin Zhiyi so that he could also try out the plow in the field.

"That's fine. I live in Xishui Village. I won't bother you, Mr. Cui. You can go ahead and do your work."

Lin Zhiyi took two steps and said, "When Boss Cui leaves, please bring me a tooth rake."

"well."

Boss Cui was eager to forge new farm tools and did not give Lin Zhiyi any.

He asked his wife to look after the shop while he went into the inner courtyard.

Lin Zhiyi took Chai Ya out of the shop.

The owner of the iron shop opposite saw Lin Zhiyi bringing Chai Ya out empty-handed, and thought to himself, as expected, they are either here to buy farm tools or to cause trouble.

"stop!"

Lin Zhiyi looked up and saw that it was the owner of the shop opposite. He was a little helpless and asked, "What's the matter?"

As a boss, he doesn't focus on his own business, but instead makes things difficult for his customers.

"You just caused trouble in my shop and beat someone up. You want to leave? It's not that easy."

Lin Zhi pointed at his shop and said, "Now that someone has entered your shop, aren't you afraid that everything will be stolen?"

The iron shop owner glanced towards his shop. He didn't see anyone entering, but he was afraid someone might. "You guys wait, don't leave."

He ran back to the shop.

Only then did I realize that I had been fooled by Lin Zhiyi.

When I came back, the two girls were nowhere to be seen.

He snorted coldly, "Stinky girl, if I see you again next time, I will beat you up every time I see you."

In the carriage.

Chai Ya was a little unconvinced, "Miss, what are you afraid of him doing? If he dares to stop us, I will make him taste my slap."

"That's not necessary."

Lin Zhiyi said lightly.

She didn't want to waste her time on such a person.

Lin Zhiyi and Chai Ya walked around several streets, and after two hours, the carriage was full.

Of course, Lin Zhiyi sent Chai Ya away on the pretext of buying things and took out a lot of things from the space.

There were cloths that were stored in the space at the Qin family - fine linen and ramie, etc., as well as gauze and silk for making lining.

Gebu has excellent air permeability and is known as 'summer cloth'.

The original owner had bought it to make summer clothes for the servants in the mansion. It happened that the Lin family was now in the countryside, so it was not convenient for them to wear it too ostentatiously.

As the undershirt and pajamas are worn close to the body, they naturally need to be comfortable. Lin Zhiyi took out three pieces of gauze.

Lin Zhiyi also took out the food in the space, including more than a dozen dishes she had bought at the inn in Beijing.

I also bought some grains, oils, meats, vegetables, and some seasonings.

But these seasonings were extremely expensive, so Lin Zhiyi didn't buy them. She took them out from the space and wrapped them in oil paper.

Especially salt.

One ounce of refined salt costs fifteen cents.

You have to know that the average person only earns twenty or thirty cents for a whole day's work.

Ask her to spend fifteen cents to buy refined salt?

She can't do it.

What's more, she also knows how to extract crude salt into refined salt.

He simply took out the salt from the space, replaced it with oil paper, and put it on the carriage.

Lin Zhiyi bought whatever she needed, food, clothing, or other daily necessities, as she saw them on this street.

Since I just moved to Xishui Village, I need so many things. After buying this time, I won’t have to buy again for a long time.

She also bought Luer a hairband and a small silver bracelet.

Thinking that Zheng'er wanted to study, she went to the bookstore again.

Zheng'er is seven years old this year and should have started learning to read a lot earlier. In her memory, she did not find any memory of Lin Zheng's enlightenment to reading.

Instead, what we saw was that the original owner bullied his two nephews and nieces a lot.

Because she didn't know what level Zheng'er had reached in his studies, she bought several books on the enlightenment stage of that era, such as "Thousand Character Classic" and "Kaimeng Essentials", and also bought several books on the basic stage, such as "The Analects of Confucius", "Mencius" and "The Book of Songs".

Four sets of pens, ink, paper and inkstone were bought, including ones for Lin Zheng and Lu'er, as well as those for Lin Luchen and Lin Xiuhuai, the fourth roommate.

But paper was very expensive in that era.

Ordinary white linen paper for daily writing costs three hundred coins per hundred sheets.

Refined paper with a polished surface and free of impurities costs eight cents per sheet, and a hundred sheets can be purchased at the wholesale price of seven hundred cents.

Mulberry paper and calligraphy paper are more expensive.

Of course, the most expensive paper is Xuan paper.

Lin Zhiyi spent three taels of silver to buy a thousand sheets of white linen paper, which was really a lot of money.

No wonder children from ordinary farming families cannot afford to go to school in this era.

It was already afternoon, and Lin Zhiyi took Chai Ya to a small stall to eat a bowl of plain noodles.

Chai Ya ate two large bowls and added eight cents worth of meat to each bowl.

Chai Ya touched her full stomach and said, "It's good to follow the girl. I can always eat my fill."

"That's right."

Lin Zhiyi suddenly remembered that before coming to Fangzhou, Chai Ya had told her that she would have someone take the monthly allowance she saved back to her hometown to give to her parents, but she forgot to ask Chai Ya later.

"Chai Ya, your family..."

"Don't worry, young lady. Before coming to Fangzhou, I saved more than ten taels of silver from my monthly allowance and asked someone I knew to bring it to my parents."

"That's good." She told Chai Ya: "Get in the carriage, let's go home."

The two drove the carriage towards Xishui Village.

As soon as they arrived at the village, they saw aunts and sisters standing on the street in the village.

Those women were very sharp-eyed. They saw Lin Zhiyi coming from afar and said, "Look, that's the girl from the Lin family."

Some even waved to Lin Zhiyi and said hello: "You're back, Miss Lin?"

The Lin family's carriage is very enviable.

They have to establish a good relationship with the Lin family, so that if they go to the county one day, maybe they can give them a ride.

Lin Zhiyi also responded with a smile, "Auntie, Auntie, have you eaten?"

"Yeah, I've eaten. I've eaten."

Lin Zhiyi: "My parents are still waiting for me at home for dinner, so I'll go home first. If you have time, come over and play at my house."

"well."

Some people who had never seen Lin Zhiyi thought that she would not easily respond to others when they saw her from afar. Unexpectedly, she was a talkative girl.

"Miss Lin is really nice. I wonder if she's married yet?"
