Chapter 13 Mid-Autumn Festival!(1/2)
"There are 453 coins left. Brother keeps these 400 coins. You don't need to save too much on daily expenses. I will give my mother and eldest sister ten or twenty coins every day when I come back. I will slowly add more in the future. Let them know that the family has income every day, so they can feel more at ease.
."
Cao Xin gave most of his wealth to his eldest brother.
"I am the eldest brother——"
Cao Ren accepted the money, his face flushed a little.
"Brother! Don't think too much about it!"
"If I earned this money outside by working hard, you would be embarrassed to take it and say anything. But where I got this money, my eldest brother knows best——"
Cao Xin turned over his little hand at his elder brother.
The eldest brother uses his younger brother's money to support the family and spend money, and he also spends his eight-year-old brother's money, which is of course embarrassing under normal circumstances.
But what is going on with Cao Xin?
He can "create something out of nothing" and he has "the universe in his sleeves".
This is a magical method!
What's wrong with Cao Ren, the eldest brother, getting a little glory?!
"Snapped!"
"It's my brother's fault!"
"The ancients also said that when one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven."
"I can be considered as enjoying the glory of our little fairy."
Cao Ren patted his forehead and turned the corner. He couldn't help but laugh when he thought about what he had just thought.
One thought makes the world wide.
He collected the money generously.
The two brothers talked and laughed and rushed home.
Cao Xin's main task of buying chickens today was fulfilled as he wished. He also visited the martial arts school and bought 350 kilograms of reserve grain to store in the original fairyland.
Iron Ball also placed an order, just waiting to pick it up.
I did a lot of things in most of the day.
However, due to lack of money, Cao Xin still had many things he wanted to buy but had not yet done so.
For example, iron farm tools such as sickles, hoes, shovels, and guillotines, as well as bamboo woven farm tools such as shoulder poles, baskets, dustpans, brooms, and baskets.
These are not bought for home use, but placed in the primitive fairyland. They can be used for plowing and hoeing, so that they are prepared for trouble.
If you have the money, you can buy three or five sets and put them in the original fairyland. It's not too much.
More than these.
There are also woodworking tools such as axes, saws, planes, files, chisels, rulers, ink fountains, and sandpaper. There are not many of them, but there are many styles of each.
For example, a plane——
Joint planers, flat planers, two-line planers, clean planers, all kinds of clearing planes, large line planers, small line planers, small flat planers, convex planes, all kinds of cutting planes, double line planers, single line planers, notch planers,
Single groove planer, clear groove planer, double groove planer, various line planers.
With just one plane, there are dozens of subdivisions.
Others include saws, chisels, etc., long, short, large, small, round, flat, square, there are so many types that even a layman can't count them.
It's not easy to put together a complete set, and it costs a lot of money.
Once it's all together, it becomes a family heirloom and the carpenter's destiny.
There were a lot of trees in the primitive fairyland, and a lot of them had to be cut down sooner or later. Cao Xin had better have three or five sets of carpentry tools like this in there, which was also a huge expense.
In addition——
Pots and pans, knives and shovels, large spoons and small spoons, chopping boards, steamers, bottles and jars, large and small vats...
Too much too much!
Bits and pieces!
This does not include tables, chairs, benches, beds, bedding, pillows and other furniture and household items.
But if you want to be able to hide in the "Primitive Fairyland" and be self-sufficient in extreme circumstances, it is best to prepare all these large and small daily necessities, or even prepare several sets.
Cao Xin made a list of these things, but it was obviously difficult to get them all in a short time.
Money is one aspect.
There are too many types, too.
Have to take your time.
…
"There are mosquitoes and gnats in the world, but there are no mosquitoes in Ma Xing Street in Western Province. The Xijing night market and restaurants are very prosperous on Ma Xing Street. Mosquitoes and gnats are evil, but Ma Xing is noisy with people, the lights are shining in the sky, and every three o'clock.
, so mosquitoes and gnats will be forever eliminated.”
…
The origin of the name "Maxing Market" is unknown, but there is no doubt that this is the most prosperous place in the entire Xijing City and even the entire Daliang.
In modern times, it might be called a ‘commercial street’.
This street is winding and winding, connecting half of the northern city. From the four city gates in the north, you can directly reach the street and lead to the imperial city.
Night falls and the lights are brightly lit.
Lanterns are hung in front of the merchants along the street, and the lighting facilities built by the government illuminate the Maxing Market, which stretches for more than 20 miles, as brightly as day.
The atmosphere immediately became heated.
“Lots of delicious food!”
Cao Xian was wearing new clothes today. He looked around and couldn't see clearly!
Roadside stalls are an eyesore, with pan-fried lamb sausage, bream breasts, frozen fish heads, ginger black beans, wipes, red shreds, sliced sheep heads, spicy ginger feet, spicy radish, and various snacks that will make people drool.
.
There are also refreshing summer foods, including hemp curd, chicken skin sesame drink, fine powder vegetable sticks, sugar and ice cold meatballs, crystal soap, raw pickled papaya, medicinal papaya, chicken head, sugar and mung bean licorice ice and snow cold water
, lychee paste, broad mustard melon, pickles, apricot slices, plum ginger, lettuce, bamboo shoots, mustard, spicy melon, fine minced dumplings, fragrant candies, intercourse sugar lychees, plum blossoms, perilla paste, gold
Some of the Sidanmei and Xiangchengwan are sold in bulk, and some are packed in plum-red boxes and displayed for sale.
"Sister, eat this."
Cao Xin bought a portion of granulated sugar and ice-cold meatballs and handed a box of candy canes to Cao Xian with a flattering look on his face.
My sister was too angry. She still remembered how she laughed at her with lantern riddles in the morning, and ignored Cao Xin from the time she got home until she came out. Cao Xin was a generous younger brother, so he spent his own money to buy snacks for Cao Xian.
"Spending money indiscriminately again!"
Cao Xian glared at Cao Xin, but his hands were honest. He took the granulated sugar, ice and snow cold meatballs and fragrant candies. He gave them to Cao Zhang and Cao Liang first, took a bite, then handed two pieces to his elder brother, and then hesitated for a while.
, gave another piece to Cao Xin, and then ate it by himself with a smile.
Cao Xin looked funny.
This side.
Little Cao Liang was eating delicious food in his mouth, and he was looking around, dazzled. When he came to a restaurant, his eyes widened: "Look! Look! There are so many lanterns!"
Cao Xin looked up——
Oops!
Quite a lot indeed!
It was a huge restaurant, five stories high, with a wooden frame set up outside, and lanterns hung on five levels, more than a hundred in total. Each lantern had writing written on it, and each one was a lantern riddle——
"If you answer the lantern riddles on the next three floors correctly, you can take away the corresponding lantern."
"If you answer the lantern riddles on the fourth floor correctly, you will get a jar of fine wine from my Tianjia Restaurant."
"If you answer the lantern riddle on the fifth floor correctly, please come into the private room. You can have drinks and food as you like."
Guess lantern riddles!
This is an old tradition!
Cao Xin took a look and found that the fourth and fifth floors were indeed much more difficult than the lower three floors. There were many questions in them that he couldn't answer.
On the other hand, the lower three floors are much simpler.
"The feet are small and the legs are high. Wear a red hat and a white robe. Guess an animal."
"This is the 'red-crowned crane'."
"Whether it works if water enters the water, guess a word."
