    ?

    When Du Qi returned to the mansion, it was getting late.

    After dinner, Du Qi rested early to recharge his batteries.  The next morning, after he got up, he habitually wanted to drink a cup of morning tea, but when he thought that the tea soup after brewing was rich and mixed with various flavors, he was really not flattered, so he had to give up the plan to drink tea.

    Now it's early spring, and it's time to pick spring tea. After eating breakfast, Du Qi pondered in his heart and planned to make some tea himself.  Once he had an idea, he was ready to act on it.

    But to do things, you have to have money.

    Du Qi didn't know much about his private money, especially he didn't have much memory in his mind.  Immediately, Du Qi called Liu Jian, the dog leg, and asked, "Liu Jian, my lord, how much money do I have in my hand?"

    "No money!"

    Liu Jian's head shook like a rattle.

    Du Qi was stunned for a moment, and said: "Anyway, I am the second son of the Du family, how could I have no money?"

    Liu Jian explained: "My lord, you did this yourself. In the past, my wife wanted to give you money, but you said that studying in the mansion all day, there is no shortage of food and clothing, and there is no place to spend money. So, you rejected my wife."  .¡±

    Speaking of this, Liu Jian was very wronged.

    The sons of other big families accompanied him, and they were extremely rich.  But Du Qi didn't like money, and his personal entourage was also clinking with poverty, and his pockets were very shy.

    Du Qi slapped his forehead and remembered the relevant memory.

    That's really true.

    The owner is so stupid, he doesn't want any money, so Du Qi doesn't know what to say.

    Du Qi ordered: "Liu Jian, go to the accounting room and get the consistent money."

    Yiguan money is one thousand Wen.

    After Li Yuan became emperor, that is, at the beginning of this year, Sui coins were abolished, and "Kaiyuan Tongbao" was cast in imitation of the five baht coins of the Western Han Dynasty.  Today's Datang, the popular money on the market is mainly Kaiyuan Tongbao copper coins.

    For an ordinary family, consistent money is a lot of money.

    Liu Jian smashed his mouth, frowned, and said, "Master, do you need to go to the accounting room to withdraw the usual money? Madam will definitely ask about such a large expenditure. At that time, how will you explain it?"

    Du Qilue thought about it, and then said: "Forget it, I will go to the backyard and talk to my mother."

    "My son is wise!"

    Liu Jian quickly flattered, and he was relieved.  He was worried about his son, who would spend too much money indiscriminately, and he would be punished accordingly.

    Du Qi went straight to the backyard, and now Mrs. Zheng is weaving.  Seeing Du Qi coming, she stopped what she was doing, and asked with a smile: "Erlang, you never take the initiative to leave the yard, but you came to mother's yard today, why?"

    Du Qi said: "When I entered the palace yesterday, I was so tired that my mother was worried. The child blamed himself very much, so he came here to pay his respects to his mother."

    Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zheng laughed.

    Very pleased.

    Zheng Shi said: "Mother is fine, you don't have to worry. Now, just study hard."

    Du Qi said: "The mother teaches, the son always remembers. But after the son fell into the water, he also understood a truth."

    Zheng said: "What reason?"

    Du Qi said: "Students of my generation can't read dead books, otherwise they will become nerds. While studying, we must increase our knowledge and practice martial arts to strengthen our body. Otherwise, it is not enough to reason with others, at least we can protect ourselves from  Like before, the son was easily pushed into the lake, so that he fell into a coma, which made the mother worry."

    Zheng's eyes were full of brilliance, full of praise, and said: "My son has enlightened, good, good!"

    Du Qi continued: "Son, today, I plan to go out for a stroll, and buy some utensils for practicing martial arts to strengthen my body. Besides, I will buy some items for daily use."

    "It's time to buy, it's time to go out for a stroll."

    Mrs. Zheng said with a smile: "Erlang, you go to the accounting room to withdraw two pennies, just buy it, don't worry about not having enough money, and don't worry about what will happen to your father. With mother around, everything is safe."

    "Thank you mother!"

    The corners of Du Qi's mouth were raised, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

    Liu Jian stood aside, his cheeks twitching.

    He didn't know his young master a little bit. If it were the young master who fell into the water, let alone two pennies, he probably wouldn't ask for a hundred bucks, and he wouldn't even bring any money with him when he went out.  But now, the young master obviously came to ask for money, but he didn't say how much he wanted at all, he only said that he wanted to buy some items, and the wife would directly withdraw two pieces of money.

    One front and one back, the gap is huge.

    But Liu Jian likes such a change.

    Liu Jian and Du Qi went out of the yard happily and went directly to the account room.?? Withdrawing two strings of money, he went out.  As Liu Jian walked, he said, "My lord, you are too powerful. If you are a small one, you can just tell me directly if you want to withdraw the one guan. But you, my lord, didn't say anything, but the wife asked you to withdraw the two guan."

    Du Qidao: "This is the gap between you and the young master, so you can only be a follower."

    Liu Jian said: "My son is wise!"

    After the two left the mansion, they went straight to the farther West Market.

    There are East Market and West Market in Chang'an City, which are on the left and right sides of the imperial city.  The East Market is close to the East Palace, and it is also close to the imperial city, so the East Market is mostly a place favored by dignitaries, while the West Market is closer to ordinary people.

    Du Qi arrived at the West Market in a carriage, walked around inside, and admired the scene of the West Market.

    This is the first time Du Qi has had such close contact with Datang's bazaar.

    In the West City, people come and go, and it is extremely prosperous.

    There are countless businessmen.

    In fact, whether it is the East Market or the West Market, there are countless merchants.  The shops that produce and sell the same kind of goods here are concentrated and arranged in the same area, called rows.  In the two markets of the East and West Markets, all the goods sold were divided into different categories, and at most there were 220 lines, which was a huge scale.

    Du Qi turned around and went to the place where the tea was sold.  It's spring tea now. When he arrived, there were many vendors selling tea leaves that had just been picked. These were tea leaves that hadn't been processed or made into tea cakes.

    Du Qi walked among them, picking and choosing. It took half an hour to buy a hundred catties of freshly picked spring tea and some other items.

    Liu Jian looked bewildered, and frowned, "My lord, why are you buying so much tea? Our house also has tea. If you need tea, you can just get it from the house."

    Du Qi asked: "Is there any freshly picked ones in our house?"

    "No!"

    Liu Jian shook his head and said: "The tea in the house is all processed and made into tea cakes."

    Du Qidao: "That's it, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and hurry, there are still things to do when you go back."

    "yes!"

    Liu Jian answered immediately.

    The two hurried back home in a carriage, while Du Qi took a hundred catties of fresh spring tea and went straight back to his yard, preparing to process the tea.

    It's just that when Du Qi was preparing to stir-fry tea, he suddenly discovered that there was no wok of later generations in this mansion.  Because today's meals are mainly boiled, steamed, and baked. Although there are iron pans, there is no wok for cooking in later generations.

    Du Qi wanted to stir-fry the green tea leaves. Ordinary iron pans were not enough, and a special wok was needed to achieve the effect of frying green tea leaves.

    Now, Du Qi has to make a wok.

    Fortunately, after asking Liu Jian, Du Qi learned that there was a craftsman's workshop in his house, so Du Qi went to the craftsman's workshop and asked the craftsman to quickly make a wok that can stir-fry vegetables and green tea according to the shape of a wok.

    Today it is used to stir-fry tea, and in the future it can be used to stir-fry vegetables.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
