The two settled the money, and Zhao Ce proudly bought 400 Wen of raw sugar.

He said he was tired from studying and wanted to take it home to make sugar water to drink.

I deducted 400 coins from this and bought another 50 coins worth of salt.

I also got 300 coins.

He put all these coins into his bookcase and patted them with satisfaction.

I have to go back quickly to get these candies out, and then exchange them for some money.

If you go back and forth like this, you can make a lot of money.

First, we need to improve the food so that both of us can take good care of ourselves.

And since it is said to be sugar shipped from afar, this business cannot be done every day.

In the meantime, I can also copy books and help with household expenses.

After thinking about it, the little girl said that she couldn't make dry food for herself since there was no flour at home.

Zhao Ce thought about going to the grain store to buy some grain.

After buying the food, I went to the bookstore to pay the deposit and got some copywriting work back.

In this way, you can also practice calligraphy by yourself.

Although printing technology is quite advanced now.

However, printed books are still much more expensive than handwritten books.

After all, a new book requires typesetting, proofreading, printing, editing again, and finally printing.

The various levels in between are not uncomplicated.

As for copying books, people only need to take the old books back and take them out after copying them.

There are a lot fewer steps involved.

Therefore, the price is also relatively low.

After making up your mind.

Zhao Ce said goodbye to the shopkeeper and walked out of the grocery store carrying his book box.

First look for the location of the good grain store and walk directly there.

The sun is getting higher and there are more and more people on the street.

I went to the grain and oil store and bought some white rice and flour.

I went to the oil store and bought a small jar of sesame oil.

I also went to the meat stall and bought two kilograms of pork.

I was thinking of going back and tinkering with some sugar. The lard residue from frying the lard tonight can be used to dip it in sugar.

When I thought of this, I felt my stomach begin to feel a little twitchy.

Went to a nearby bookstore again.

But I saw a lot of people surrounding this bookstore.

Among them, many people have been discussing it.

"This Sanzheng Bookstore belongs to Chen Yuan's wife's family."

"I heard that we are collecting lantern riddles for the Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival."

"The person sitting today is He Xiucai from the county school."

"After hearing about these lantern riddles, we will select the best ones and send them to the county magistrate for his inspection."

"At the Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival, those lantern riddles will be selected from there!"

"So the best one will not only be rewarded by the bookstore, but also be favored by the county magistrate!"

Zhao Ce stood outside, listening to everyone's discussion.

My heart moved slightly.

When I first woke up yesterday, I felt dizzy and didn't think too much.

But last night, he remembered something.

That is, the original owner was angered to death, and of course there was a reason for it!

As a student, when I go to a brothel, naturally others have nothing to say.

But just the day before yesterday, the original owner was tricked into doing something in the city.

This incident also ruined his reputation.

The master of the school even threatened to expel him from the school!

Thinking about this, Zhao Ce felt.

You have to do something to save your precarious reputation.

After all, in ancient times, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce were the main people.

Clear hierarchy.

As a powerless peasant boy, no matter how many tricks he has in mind,

If you don’t have a reliable background, you won’t dare to show it.

Just like this white sugar.

He had to put on a show before he dared to take it out in exchange for money.

Even so, it's still unsafe.

Zhao Ce will make more money and live a better life in the future.

Then he must continue his studies and earn some fame to protect himself.

These students said that the person with the best lantern riddles would be able to show his face in front of the county magistrate.

Let him remember his name.

This is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for me who has not yet taken the junior college entrance examination.

At this time.

The students who were discussing said again: "I heard that the thank you fee for this lantern riddle is very generous!"

"Yes, the student just now, I heard that he didn't study for two years and wrote a lantern riddle."

"I didn't even make it to the third grade, but I still got a reward of ten cents."

"But if there is a lantern riddle, you won't be able to participate in the lantern riddle guessing activity."

"As smart as I am, I'd better wait and guess lantern riddles when the time comes."

"Being at the top can also make you famous."

Several people were talking more and more enthusiastically.

I even fantasized about taking down all these lantern riddles.

Just as he was talking, a scholar wearing an old robe came out from the place surrounded by several waiters.

The shopkeeper of the bookstore said loudly: "He Ronghao, a student from Hejiacun, a second-class lantern riddle!"

After saying that, he handed over a beautifully made small cloth bag.

The man smiled so hard that he couldn't see his teeth. He happily took it and said, "Thank you very much."

After saying that, he walked out happily.

Everyone gathered around.

The student also opened his wallet generously.

Inside was a piece of broken silver worth 1 tael, and a small wooden sign with the word "Y" written on it.

Because I can show my face in front of the county magistrate, no matter whether my family has money or not.

As long as there are no famous scholars, they are busy writing lantern riddles.

I hope my lantern riddle can be chosen by the county magistrate.

As for whether you are afraid that someone will cheat or something like that.

What the shopkeeper read out loud was to let everyone remember this person.

Among scholars, the tendency of comparison is most serious.

If someone goes to him to ask for answers, he might be reported and exposed as soon as he arrives.

Moreover, I don’t know which lantern stall this person’s answer was placed at.

This method of cheating is really not worth the gain.
