Granny Song went and collected ten more eggs for Song Xia to take home.
Song Xia accepted it this time.
Granny Song happily saw her off until she could no longer see her back before going home to sweep the yard.
She's too old to do much work, so she can only keep busy at home.
I'm home.
Song Xia didn't see Song Lao Si, and when she asked, she learned that he had gone out to chop firewood.
Now they start working without being told, which is an improvement.
Seeing Song Chun looking at him, he hesitated to speak.
Song Xia asked curiously, "Big sister, is there something you want to tell me?"
Song Chun pulled her to a secluded corner and said.
"Second sister, Mother and the others know you made so much money selling the tiger, but I don't know the details. What will you do if the money isn't enough? Tigers aren't like wild boars; I've heard hunting them is practically a death sentence, it's too dangerous..."
"Sister, there's always a way out, don't worry."
Song Xia comforted her for a moment and then went to check on the minced meat sauce she had made. She put it into a clean jar after it had cooled down.
night.
Song Xia couldn't sleep, so she went into the space supermarket, grabbed some food, and sat down to eat. As she was eating, she heard the long-lost "Welcome!" sound at the door, and she subconsciously reached for the Sun Wukong mask.
"Girl, are you there?"
It's Jin Beicheng!
Knowing he had already seen her face, Song Xia took off her mask and walked towards the door: "Yes, why didn't you come in directly this time? Didn't you come in directly before?"
"I'm sorry, I was too hasty before."
Jin Beichen was dressed in a dark, fitted outfit today, which made him look more ascetic and his features appeared even more handsome than usual.
Song Xia gestured for him to sit down and asked, "Didn't you say you were going to fight? Have you arrived?"
"not yet."
Jin Beicheng looked at Song Xia and said, "Our capital is still quite far from the border of the Great Qi Dynasty. It takes about two months to get there. We still have more than a month to go now."
"Oh, I see."
Song Xia picked up the half-eaten potato chips and continued eating.
While eating...
Seeing Jin Beichen staring at her, she reached out and offered him some: "Want some?"
"eat!"
Jin Beichen had never eaten potato chips before, so he was naturally curious about what they tasted like and let her hold them in her hand and keep eating them.
A snap.
The aroma of potato chips burst in Jin Beicheng's mouth.
Jin Beichen smiled and said, "It's quite delicious. I'll buy some to take with me when I leave."
"OK!"
Song Xia had no objection.
Suddenly, I thought of Tuoba Zhen.
Song Xia asked him directly, "Jin Beicheng, do you know Tuoba Zhen?"
Upon hearing this...
Jin Beichen was taken aback and said, "What, you've met Tuoba Zhen? To be honest, he's a good friend of mine, and like me, he's not favored by his own father."
Before Song Xia could speak.
Jin Beicheng continued.
"Our emperor has eleven sons in total. Tuoba Zhen is the first, and he is twenty-one years old this year. His birth mother was a palace maid. Because she gave birth to him and was the eldest son of the emperor, she was granted the title of Consort Wan by the emperor. She was Consort Wan for many years, and was only promoted last year because all the concubines were promoted last year."
"I met Tuoba Zhen during a hunt. He had a natural love for food and was so fat by the age of eighteen that it was unbearable to look at. How could he possibly be good at something like hunting?"
“I was hunting and happened to be passing by when I rescued him from a pit. Ever since that day, he has liked to ask me out to dinner from time to time, always secretly.”
"Later, when his mother found out, he dared not do it again..."
"Tuoba Zhen is quite pitiful. His father dislikes his lack of ambition, and his mother insists on forcing him to compete..."
Song Xia told him that Tuoba Zhen had also been here.
Although Jin Beichen had already guessed this, he was still somewhat surprised: "I thought I was the only one who could come. How come he could come too?"
"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? I'm wondering the same thing."
Song Xia opened another bag of braised quail eggs and ate them.
She handed it over.
Jin Beichen took one and peeled it like she did, the quail egg was small and he ate it one bite at a time.
Eat it.
Jin Beichen squinted and opened his eyes, saying, "This is delicious too."
"It's alright."
Song Xia didn't know if these things involved technology or dangerous techniques, but she ate whatever she wanted.
This was her original intention in opening the supermarket.
Jin Beichen ate three in a row but was too embarrassed to eat anymore. He asked, "Can I ask you a question? What did Tuoba Zhen buy from you?"
"I was wondering why you didn't ask."
Song Xia showed Jin Beichen the document she had sold to Tuoba Zhen and asked him if he wanted to buy it.
Jin Beicheng looked them over and said, "These don't seem like things he would buy. He always likes to eat meat, and he doesn't really like fruits and vegetables."
It's no wonder they often eat together.
I know quite a bit about it.
They even guessed that tomatoes are vegetables.
Song Xia coughed and said, "What vegetables? This is a celestial fruit, it can't be compared to ordinary things."
"Yes, I was mistaken."
After Jin Beichen finished speaking, he said, "You told him not to go around talking about it, right? I'm afraid it will cause you trouble."
He's actually quite nice.
"Um."
Song Xia nodded.
If he could think of it, she certainly could too.
Jin Beichen brought twenty taels of silver and a jade hairpin with him this time. He was worried that it wouldn't be enough, but Song Xia gave him a lot more, just telling him not to let others find out.
Song Xia didn't know how much his jade hairpin was worth, but its quality seemed decent.
Song Xia made up an excuse to go shopping, leaving Song Lao Si and the others to set up their stall. She found a pawnshop that looked decent and inquired about the price of the hairpin.
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he saw the hairpin: "Miss, do you want to pawn this hairpin? It's exquisite, but it's a bit small and old. If you pawn it, it'll be worth at most ten taels of silver."
Song Xia was glad that she had changed into a decent outfit before coming.
otherwise.
He's probably starting to suspect he stole it.
Song Xia turned around and left.
By the time the shopkeeper called for his staff to chase after them, Song Xia had already run far away.
Because of this incident.
Song Xia didn't dare to pawn her hairpin at a pawnshop easily. She asked many people before deciding to go to Chengfeng Pawnshop.
The owner of Chengfeng Pawnshop was a man in his twenties. He noticed her coming and put down his pen to greet her: "Miss, have you come to our shop to pawn or redeem something?"
"Let me ask about the price; if it's acceptable, I'll pawn it."
Song Xia replied to him.
Upon hearing this, the man asked Song Xia if she could show him what he wanted to pawn.
Song Xia handed it over.
The man took the hairpin and examined it for a moment, then said, "This hairpin of yours is made of the finest jade. If you were to pawn it in a big city, it would probably fetch a higher price. If you pawn it in our shop, I'll give you a maximum of three hundred taels if it's a fixed pawn. If you pawn it temporarily, it'll be two hundred taels."
He's quite honest.
Song Xia thought about what she was about to say, but immediately changed her mind: "I choose to be the one who does the work."
She received the money and the written agreement given to her by the man.
Song Xia was a little confused. Why did she choose to live pawn instead of dead pawn?
