"Have you heard it?" On the left, a middle-aged man eating buns was holding a wine glass and chatting with the same person sitting together.

"Next year's spring exam and palace examination preparations are ahead of schedule."

"Where are you news?" The middle-aged man's voice was slightly sharp, but he was carrying Nangong Qi on his back, making him unable to see his face.

The middle-aged man put down his wine glass, touched his beard and shook his head, "Did you forget? My master and the prefect of Xijing were classmates. The day before yesterday, and when he came back, he mentioned it when he chatted with Mr. Wang."

"Tsk, it's still your master who is well-informed." The middle-aged man with a sharp voice spoke.

"I heard..." The middle-aged man with beard stopped stroking his beard, but looked around for a while, then subconsciously lowered his voice.

"The body of the Lord today is a little owed!"

"Ah?!" The sharp middle-aged man was startled and then stopped talking. After drinking a sip of porridge, he asked. "The emperor was not confused last year, why......"

"Hey... God won't bless Daqing." The middle-aged man complained, then picked up the wine glass, "Drink."

Then the two of them turned around and talked about Qiu Xian again.

"Is your young master Liu confident in this autumn examination?"

This time, it was the turn of the sharp man to take it.

He held the porridge and blew slowly, then took a sip, and then the old god said: "Young Master once said that this autumn examination is like a middle-aged man."

"This is too humble!" The bearded man ate a bun. "My elder has met Mr. Liu in poetry, and he is really a person with great spirit. If he doesn't win Jie Yuan, Ya Yuan will definitely win!"

"Where are there!" The sharp man's voice was smug, "Mr. Li, Liao, praise!"

"Haha, I really understand Yuan when the time comes, but remember to invite me to drink!"

"It must be!" The two of them praising the buns and then left with some food boxes.

After eating Nangong Qiliang's basket of buns, he saw that Erlang was still a little unsatisfied and asked for another basket. After eating, Nangong Qi took out five silver ingots and handed them over.

The owner of the bun shop is an old man over forty years old. He was referring to his apprentice serving food, but when he saw someone coming to check the bill, he immediately smiled.

However, after seeing the five taels of silver ingots, his smile stiffened.

"Oh! Master, you... you have too many!" The old man wiped his hands, nodded and bowed, "Master, do you have copper coins? It only takes twenty copper coins."

Nangong Qi shook his head, he was a little clear. It seemed that the consumption capacity of silver was still good. So he took out another piece of silver.

Although the boss was still in a difficult situation this time, he still took over the two pieces of silver.

Then, he tidied it up in the cashier for a while before taking out a small piece of silver and hundreds of copper coins.

"Young Master, please count?" The old man handed over with the money. Nangong Qi did not move, but signaled Erlang to step forward.

Erlang opened his hand and took over more than 400 copper coins with great effort, and then counted them one by one on the table. It could be seen that his expression was very excited.

Nangong Qi grabbed a handful of copper coins and threw them into the boss's hand. Then he spoke: "Boss, ask you something, where did you buy the alkali noodles in your bun?"

The boss was stunned for a moment, then handed over the money to Erlang, and then said, "Young Master, this is just a casual word, you don't need your copper. The alkaline noodles were purchased at Liuji Grain Shop in West Market. You can go straight out and you will arrive in three hundred steps."

Nangong Qi bowed to thank him, pulled Erlang and left the bun shop.

At this time, there were endless pedestrians on the road. Most of them were dressed in short costumes. They either carried loads of firewood or brought some wild goods and grass in, and were in a hurry.

There are also some maids with long robes carrying food boxes. However, more families of small households set up long stalls in the middle of the street. Most of the ones sold are vegetables, just like a vegetable market on the same street.

"Brother, the fourth old man!" Li Erlang pulled Nangong Qi.

Following Li Erlang's finger, he saw that the Sisou who sent them home yesterday was in a blond nest, which seemed to be a livestock market. It was a secluded corner a little far from the street market.

After thinking about his itinerary today, Nangong Qi thought for a moment and walked over.

"Fourth Master." Nangong Qi took the lead in saying hello. "Why are you here?"

"Oh, the little old man can't call him Mr. Li like this!" The old old man stretched out his wrinkled face like an old tree bark. "Have Li Dalang been hurt better?"

"It's much better." Nangong Qi responded with a smile.

"That's good. The little old man sets up a stall here and greets someone when he needs a car." Sishou explained.

Hearing the Four Old Master’s answer, Nangong Qi laughed. “No, Fourth Master, I really want your help today! Come with me?”

"Li Dalang, your order!" The four sole bent down even lower. "Donkey shrew..."

Pulling the donkey cart, Nangong Qi and Erlang walked side by side in front, while the four solemnies followed behind them like a servant, leading the donkey cart.

Soon, the three of them arrived at Liu Jiliang Shop. After entering the gate, Nangong Qi looked at the white and ungrateful middle-aged shopkeeper who looked familiar with him, but he couldn't remember it.

"Boss, do you have alkaline noodles?"

When the shopkeeper heard about the coming business, he greeted him with a smile.

"Young Master Chen'an. We have alkaline noodles here! Liu Ji Grain Store is all-encompassing." The sharp voice instantly reminded Nangong Qi of who he was.

It is the housekeeper of Mr. Liu in Jie Yuan!

However, it's up to him. He just needs to buy some experimental supplies.

"Okay, let's first ten kilograms of alkaline noodles, ten kilograms of sea salt, and ten kilograms of lard. Is there any mint?"

When the shopkeeper heard this, it was a big business! He walked out quickly and said hurriedly, "Yes, yes, yes!"

"One pound of mint leaves is best fresh."

"Make it fresh!" The shopkeeper quickly asked for preparation. "Young master, it's a coincidence. Mint leaves have the function of a clear tone, but ordinary people can't use so much! It happened to be a batch the day before yesterday. Otherwise, there would be no goods."

Nangong Qi couldn't help but be glad after hearing this. However, seeing that the other party had even mint, it seemed that the all-inclusive sentence was not a false statement. So he spoke again.

“Is there saltpeter?”

"have!"

"Ten kilograms."

"Okay!"

“Bristle?”

"This..." The shopkeeper was stunned and waited for a while before speaking. "If you want it, young master, can I send someone to the butcher to ask you some?"

"Okay." Nangong Qi didn't care about these things, and then ordered rice, noodles, oil, steel needles, eggs, sulfur, etc....

Some of them need to send someone outside to purchase, and Nangong Qi is not in a hurry, just sit in the hall and wait.

After about half an hour, everything was fully equipped.

In the end, I actually asked for four taels of silver!

Nangong Qi did not bargain and quickly paid the money. Before leaving, he asked for two jars of sake.

When I got back, the whole donkey cart was already full. However, on the way, Nangong Qi bought some vegetables. In the end, he only had more than two taels of silver left in his hand before he stopped.

Li Erlang was frightened when he saw it. He wanted to hold his brother a few times, but he didn't dare.
Chapter completed!
