Chapter 10 Hey, the Butcher

When he arrived in the town, Su Qinghuan took Lu Qi to the pharmacy first and sold the dried herbs.

She knew some fabricated fur, so some medicinal materials were simply processed. Dr. Dong from the pharmacy was also a fair person. She gave her three strings of money for a basket of herbs, which was 300 yuan.

"This is almost the medicine I picked in five days, and it costs less than two taels of silver in a month." Su Qinghuan sighed.

Lu Qi said: "It's already a lot."

He was not very concerned about gold and silver, but he vaguely remembered that during the renovation of the palace, a craftsman only cost three taels of silver a month, while the coolies only cost five hundred cigars a month.

"I'm not good enough to compare with the best, so let's make do with it." Su Qinghuan laughed quickly, "I used a lot of medicine for you, but they didn't count it in it; and I know where there are some expensive medicinal herbs, and I'm not willing to collect them. Let's go buy things."

She said in a nagging manner: "We have to buy pens and inkstones, bedding fabrics, rice and flour seasonings... Let's buy meat first!"

Su Qinghuan took care of Lu Qi. Although she was anxious, she was unhappy. She bought two meat buns on the way, bit one by herself, and handed it to Lu Qi.

Lu Qi also took a bite like her, which was very fragrant.

When he walked to the meat stall, Su Qinghuan generously took out a string of money: "Come three pounds of fat meat, two pounds of tenderloin, and two big bones."

Fat meat is used to make oil, and the oil residue can make buns, which is very fragrant; the tenderloin is tender, so Su Qinghuan decided to make a long-lost pot of meat that costs oil and sugar; the big bones are naturally boiled to nourish Lu Qi's body.

This is the meat stall of Zhang Butuhu's house, which is the one Song family who wants her to be her second wife.

Zhang Butcher had big arms and round waists, and his face was full of flesh. When he saw Su Qinghuan coming and heard her voice, his bones were slim. It was because he had seen Su Qinghuan several times in the town that he was moved by her beauty and vigor, and asked someone to inquire about her; he also gritted his teeth and responded when he heard the Song lion asking for twenty taels of silver.

"Miss Su," Zhang Butcher's face turned red, showing a shyness that was very incompatible with the flesh on his face. With a stroke of the bone-cutting knife, a large piece of meat that was seven or eight pounds was cut off. "Take it home and eat it, and give it money to slap me in the face."

Su Qinghuan actually doesn't hate him. He is very honest in his business, never lacks weight, and is very enthusiastic. Although he is rude, when he sees poor people occasionally come to buy meat and eat meat, he will most likely give him some valuable gifts such as bones.

However, this does not mean that she is willing to be sold to him by Song as her second wife, as the stepmother of his seven-year-old son who is dragging his nose every day.

"How can that be? You have to support your family." Su Qinghuan smiled cheerfully, "My husband likes to eat meat, and he will come to buy meat frequently in the future. If you don't charge money, why would I have the nerve to come again?"

As she said that, she looked back and looked shy.

Butcher Zhang seemed to be struck by lightning, and he didn't know how he cut the flesh and wrapped the bones for his husband and wife.

Looking at Lu Qi's figure and momentum, he was very inferior, like a doubles eggplant, and his heart was bitter, but another voice couldn't help but appear: She should find such a man.

He didn't believe in those rumors about Su Qinghuan.

This girl's eyes are clear and she looks good at first glance.

He was somewhat grateful that her reputation was broken, otherwise he would have been a widower.

Song promised him confidently that as long as he gave him enough money, he would marry Su Qinghuan. He had collected enough money, but he didn't expect...

But when he saw the two left, Lu Qi limped, butcher Zhang suddenly felt confident back: No matter how good the man was, wasn't he still a lame man? Moreover, Su Qinghuan was dressed as a girl and would not have been hastily married in these few days. He wanted to go to the Su family to ask, and he would have to fight for it one last time!

He stopped selling the meat, bought two pies to satisfy his son's hunger, and handed him over to the neighbors to take care of him. Butcher Zhang hurried to the next village.

His son wiped his nose, pulled his oily sleeves, and asked stammeringly: "Dad, dad, go, go, go, go, go..."

"Go and find a mother for you! Douzi, be obedient!"

"I, I, too, want to find my mother."

Dou Ding lost her mother at the age of three and had no memory of her own mother, but she envied other children for having a mother.

"Let's go!" Zhang Butcher Zhang took Dou Ding's hand, thought about buying two more boxes of snacks, took a piece of meat, and went to the Su family.

Su Qinghuan knew nothing about this, and she achieved her goal and went to buy all other things excitedly.

When she finally came out of the cloth shop, she found that Lu Qi was carrying things in his hands, and the bamboo basket behind him was also full of them.

"Give me this one, and this one..."

"No, very light."

Seeing that he was indeed very relaxed, Su Qinghuan suppressed the guilt of enslaving the patient in his heart and smiled and said, "You are really the most tenacious patient I have ever seen."

Lu Qi lowered his eyelids and said, "I will not die."

No matter how hard or difficult it is, life is worse than death, he survived with all his strength.

At that time, he didn't know if he had any hope of seeing Tian Ri again, so he survived by instinct and finally got freedom today.

The warm and bright sunshine, the bustling and noisy crowd, the vendors greeting each other, and the smiling faces of flowers... Lady, Lu Qi felt that this kind of rebirth was something he could not imagine before.

Looking at the shadows that Su Qinghuan cast on the ground, he thought that no matter whether she was a ghost or a demon, as long as it was her, he would see hope.

"Do you have anything else to buy?" Su Qinghuan looked around and lingered in the bustling and prosperous.

"No."

"Then go back." Su Qinghuan counted six money to go back as a travel fee. There were too many things, so he didn't want to ask for an appointment without adding more money.

When he got home, Lu Qi watched Su Qinghuan finish tidying up his things, but he couldn't get in.

Su Qinghuan went to the kitchen to cook again, so he followed her to burn the fire for her. Fortunately, he had done this, and it was not embarrassing.

Su Qinghuan steamed the rice, made her favorite pot bun meat, and stir-fried vegetables.

"Huaer, come out!"

The sound of Song's ghost suddenly rang out, and the wooden shovel in Su Qinghuan's hand almost fell off.

"Don't be afraid." Lu Qi said in a deep voice.

Su Qinghuan snorted: "What am I afraid of! The sound was so sudden just now that I was shocked. Let's go out and see what she is doing again."

Su Qinghuan did not expect to suppress the Song family yesterday. If the Song family really retreated so easily, it would not be the best.

She must have thought of something when she got home, so she would fight back with great momentum.

"Have the marriage written?"

"Um."

After confirming this, Su Qinghuan sorted out the broken hair in her ears and went out confidently to deal with the trouble.

Oh, hey, the mess is coming in groups.

You must go up to heaven and the sun!
