"Dalang Wei, can you catch a deer? It's best if you can catch a buck." The shopkeeper of Fuxianglou lowered his voice and asked Wei Qi, then winked and showed a "you know" smile and said ,
"There are many wealthy and leisure young men in our county who like wild animals to replenish their health. Deer are full of treasures. Deer antlers and deer blood are both good things that are in short supply... As long as you can If you hunt it down, you don’t have to worry about sales at all, I’ll cover it all for you! This number!”
After saying that, the shopkeeper stretched out his hand, turned it up and down, and said: "Gold!" which means fifty taels of gold is fine.
Wei Qi's long, narrow and beautiful phoenix eyes narrowed slightly. Men are most willing to spend money to enhance their virility, and they are still happy with it.
Seeing such a huge amount of money, Wei Qi did not lose his head and vowed that he would definitely hunt a deer. Instead, he shook his head and said honestly: "Wild deer are something you can encounter but cannot seek. It's not that I want to hunt." You can hunt it, so I can’t guarantee that you can hunt it.”
The shopkeeper quickly said: "It's not urgent. I don't insist on having it in these few days. If you can hunt it, you can hunt it back. It's a pity if you can't, but isn't there nothing you can do? I won't force it."
"Well, I'll try my luck." Wei Qi agreed. Fifty taels of gold can not only build a spacious and bright big house with tiles, but also buy a lot of land, enough for him and Huo Shichu to become famous in the countryside. A small landowner who has no worries about food and drink.
"Then I'll be waiting for your good news, Brother Wei!" The shopkeeper was very happy to see that he promised to pay attention. He had high hopes for Wei Qi. If Wei Qi couldn't hunt wild deer, other hunters would also It was impossible to hunt them. After all, the wild animals Wei Qi had hunted this month were visible to all, and they were all things that other hunters could not hunt alone.
And this Wei Dalang not only hunted it by himself, but also got away unscathed. With such ability, hunting a wild deer should be no problem, right?
Wei Qi didn't know that the shopkeeper had so much confidence in him. He exchanged the wild boar for a lot of money and went to the pork stall.
The owner of the pork seller already knew him. This generous man bought a lot of meat every time, so when the owner saw him coming over, he laughed so hard that he couldn't see his eyesight. He shouted from a distance: "Brother Wei! What kind of meat do you want to buy today?" There’s also an elbow, do you want it?”
"Yes! Are there any spareribs? If so, I'll cover them all!" Wei Qi was indeed very generous. Ever since he learned how to cook from Huo Shichu, he began to reveal his true colors as a meat eater. He is happy without meat and has a huge appetite. Fortunately, he is capable, otherwise he might not even be able to feed himself.
"Yes! There's still half a fan left, so I'll weigh them all for you?" the butcher stall owner asked with a smile.
"Weigh it. There are five kilograms of pork belly." Wei Qi thought for a while, he still wanted to eat braised pork, and then said again.
The boss smiled even brighter. Wei Dalang bought half of his pork as soon as he came. Could he be unhappy? It would be nice if there were more patrons like Wei Dalang...
"It's a lot of weight and it's hard to carry. Brother Wei, let me put it in a bamboo basket for you. You can just return it to me when you come one day." The boss said very generously. For such a generous customer, he is also happy to have attentive service. some.
"Okay." Wei Qi didn't refuse. When the boss put all the meat in, the basket was almost full. Everyone else looked at it and gasped. Is this person planning to hold a banquet by buying so much meat?
After Wei Qi walked away, other meat buyers asked, "That young man bought so much meat just now. Does he have something to do at home?"
"There is no banquet, so people have to eat by themselves!" The butcher stall owner shook his head and said. He had asked Wei Dalang this question before, but he didn't know that he said no.
"Can I eat so much meat? How many people are there in my family? Are you afraid that the meat will spoil? Young people just don't know how to live." An aunt said, shaking her head.
"If you have money, why can't you eat as much as you want? Look at how tall people are. Isn't it normal to eat a lot of meat? It's not like they can't afford it!" The boss was unhappy and said with a frown, "You guys Do you want to buy it yet?”
Others stopped talking, but some people paid attention to Wei Qi, such as the aunt who just said that young people cannot live well. She also has the youngest daughter in her family, who is sixteen years old and has not yet been engaged.
However, the younger daughter is very arrogant. She won’t marry anyone who is poor, ugly or in poor health. However, her family is not a wealthy family, and she is not a stunning beauty. She is so beautiful. Picking and choosing will delay the marriage.
Aren't you in a hurry, aunt? Seeing that Wei Qi had bought so much meat, he must have a good family background, he was tall, his features were clear, and he was a very energetic young man, so she started to think of recruiting him as her son-in-law.
After buying a pound of meat, the aunt started talking to the boss: "Where is the young man who just bought a lot of meat from? How old is he? Does he come here often to buy meat?"
Seeing that she bought the meat, the butcher stall owner replied: "How do I know where he is from? Let alone how old he is. I only know that he hunts wild animals every now and then and sells them to Fuxianglou. If you come to buy pork from me again, you will feel generous and happy!"
The aunt asked again, and after making sure she couldn't ask anything else, she remembered that he would come here every now and then to buy meat, and planned to observe more in the future, and if there was no problem, she would make a decision for her daughter.
She had no idea whether Wei Qi was already married, so she just fell in love with him.
But Wei Qi didn't know this. After buying the meat, he bought other seasonings. In the end, for some reason, he walked to a shop selling rouge, gouache and jewelry, and bought Huo Shichu a lip balm. He didn't quite understand. These things about women, I only know roughly that lipstick is an ancient version of lipstick. In his previous life, when he was a single mother, before the end of the world, the marketing advertisements for various lipsticks were so successful that he was brainwashed and knew that women like lipstick very much. .
So he bought the lipstick in a straight-forward manner and wanted to give it to Huo Shichu as a gift to thank her for teaching him how to cook.
Wei Qi returned home with a full load. When he returned home, Huo Shichu happened to be sewing clothes in the yard. She had already mastered this skill in making clothes in her lifetime.
Now, unlike when she first came here, she had to do everything by herself and had no time to make her own clothes. Now that Wei Qi has taken on most of the housework, she has the time and energy to make beautiful clothes for herself.
"Here you go." Wei Qi handed a small red pink box to Huo Shichu.
"What is it?" Huo Shichu put down the needle and thread in his hand and asked curiously.
"It's lip balm. The landlady said this color is suitable for young girls." Wei Qi glanced at Huo Shichu and replied.
When Huo Shichu heard this, he opened the box happily. It was indeed a delicate and bright red lipstick. She used her fingers to apply a little bit on her lips, spread it carefully, and asked Wei Qi: "Does it look good?"
When Wei Qi saw her smiling eyes, her skin was jade-white, and her lips were as red as red, like red plums dotting the snow, she was so stunning that his heart skipped a few beats and he couldn't help but say: "It's beautiful."
