Reborn Nongmen's little lucky wife

Chapter 78

After Doctor Du left, they went around to the backstreet and went to the iron shop in the backstreet to buy iron pots.

Gu Jinli's family does not have an iron pot, only the third grandfather's family has one. These days, they use that pot for cooking and cooking, which is very inconvenient.

Clang clang~

As soon as he entered the blacksmith shop, there was a piercing sound of hammering.

When the blacksmith saw them, he pointed to a row of iron pots of different sizes on the ground and said, "What kind of pots do you want to buy, see for yourself."

He asked them again, "Have you brought your household registration? You cannot buy ironware without household registration."

In ancient times, iron was a weapon, something controlled by the imperial court. If a farmer wanted to buy iron, he had to have his household registration, otherwise he would not be able to buy it.

"Bring it." Gu Dashan came to the row of iron pots, took out a straw rope, held the straw rope and compared it to the iron pot, chose an iron pot the size of their earthen stove, and picked it up for a while Knock, beat, listen to the sound and touch, and then make a choice after half an hour.

He asked the blacksmith master: "Master, how do you sell this pot?"

"There's chaos all over the place recently. Iron is expensive. It's two hundred cents more expensive than last year. Your pot costs three to two hundred cents."

An iron pot is a very important property of a farmer. No matter where he goes, he must carry the pot on his back.

Gu Dashan felt a little pained when he heard the price, but he still bought it.In their hometown, it is almost the same price to buy a big iron pot like this. They are in the northwest, there are often wars, and ironware is very expensive, so it is not easy to buy.

Qin Saburo also spent the same amount of money to buy a big iron pot.

They gave the money and showed the master blacksmith the household registration. After confirming it, they took the iron pot and left the iron shop.

After leaving the iron shop, they went back to Main Street and went to the grocery store.

The grocery store is quite large, with a dazzling array of things inside, including wooden barrels, baskets, poles, thick ropes, salt, sugar, vinegar, sauce, wine, needles and threads, and other groceries.

There are more people in the grocery store than in Buzhuang, and most of them come to buy sugar and wine for the New Year.

The third grandfather and the others strolled around and bought three pairs of wood tongs, a pound of salt, a packet of caramel, a pot of vinegar, a pot of wine, and a dozen pottery utensils. A bundle of burlap.

This burlap is the worst kind of cloth, and the price is so cheap that it is generally not sold by cloth houses.Even if it is sold, the price is more expensive than outside. If farmers want to buy it, they usually come to the grocery store. The price here is two or three cents cheaper than that of the cloth village.

Seeing that they didn't buy sauce, Gu Jinli pointed to a few bottles of sauce on the shelf and said, "Dad, let's buy a bottle of soy sauce. This dish is delicious."

They don't have seasoning sauces at home. The meals they eat these days only use salt. Last night's meat was only salt, ginger, and the cumin and bay leaves she found on the road.

When Gu Dashan heard this, he hurriedly shook his head and said, "You can't buy it, you can't buy it. This glutinous sauce is something that rich families eat. We farmers don't eat this."

"Yixian sauce?" Gu Jinli didn't quite understand.

Qin Sanlang explained: "It is a kind of sauce made of meat. It can make the dish taste very delicious. But the price is very expensive. A pot of fresh sauce costs one or two silver."

Gu Jinli thought about it in her mind for a while, before she realized that the glutinous sauce they were talking about was the glutinous sauce she had read in the history book.

Before the Han Dynasty, there was no soy sauce made from soybeans. There was only a kind of sauce made by soaking meat for [-] days.But this kind of glutinous rice sauce made of meat is very expensive. Generally, only the nobles can afford it, and the common people cannot afford it.

After Gu Jinli heard that the sauce cost a tael or two, she stopped thinking about buying it, but she kept the fact that Da Chu didn't have soy sauce in her heart.

Several people paid the money, tied up the things, and left the grocery store.

"Go to the grain store." The third grandfather said, "We have to buy grain." When they came to town this time, buying grain was the most important thing.

When they arrived at the grain shop, Uncle Tian and his son, Gu Damu and Gu Dalin were already waiting here.

Gu Dalin saw them first and smiled at them: "Uncle Third, Brother Dashan, you guys bought a lot of things here."

The load on the load was almost blocking their men.

"It's cold, it's all things to buy." The third grandfather looked at Uncle Tian and saw that there was nothing in the basket at his feet, he frowned and asked, "Why didn't you buy cotton or fabric? It's so cold, so don't buy cotton. Making clothes and quilts, how do you spend most of the winter?" Qin Lao lent money to the Tian family, so why didn't he buy something to keep out the cold?

When Gu Dalin heard this, he said to the third grandfather: "Uncle third, we already talked about him when we were in the cloth village, but he just didn't buy it. He insisted that there are clothes to keep out the cold and quilts at home, which is enough, no need. Buy more. Enough is enough, those are thin clothes, how can they keep out the cold? The quilt was issued by the government, there is only one bed, it is still an old quilt that is damp, covering it can kill a person. "

The Tian family followed Gu Damu and Gu Dalin’s brothers to buy things, but when Gu Damu and Gu Dalin’s family went shopping, the Tian family watched and didn’t buy anything. No matter how they persuaded them, it was useless.

Uncle Tian lowered his head slightly and said, "Third Uncle, don't worry, we have those clothes and old quilts in our house, and there will be a fire in the house. It's not cold to sleep by the fire at night, it's fine."

Their family is still in debt, and they are reluctant to buy things.

When the third grandfather heard this, he was so angry that he wanted to beat people up: "The province is not such a province, do you want to be frozen to death?!" Although it is not as cold as the Yangji Mansion in the east, the water is still frozen. .

Gu Jinli knew that the Tian family had no money to make a fuss, so she took out the money from selling snakes and said to Uncle Tian, ​​"Uncle Tian, ​​the snake we caught yesterday was sold for a total of two to eight hundred yuan. With Xiaohua, they can each get 460 seven Wen."

Tian Erqiang kept shrugging his head. When he heard Gu Jinli's words, he immediately raised his head and asked her excitedly: "Xiaoyu, are you serious? Our snake really sold for two to eight hundred yuan. Xiaohua and I Can one person get more than 400 Wen? Is it more than 400 per person?"

Gu Dashan said: "Xiaoyu didn't lie to you, your snake really sold for two or eight hundred dollars, we are all watching."

Gu Jinli opened the money bag, gave Tian Erqiang one or two pieces of silver, and said to him: "You and Xiaohua can share a total of 930 four coins, and you want to give us 66 coins."

Tian Erqiang took the silver and cried with excitement, and held the silver to Uncle Tian: "Dad, this is our family's money, and Xiaohua and I earned it. We can make money now. Don't save it for you and your mother. The days at home will surely pass.”

Uncle Tian's eyes were red with excitement. He didn't expect that the two children would make so much money in one day after going up the mountain. It was earned, not borrowed, which was more important than anything else.

He took the money with shaking hands, carefully put it into the inner pocket of his clothes, counted out another 66 Wen, and handed it to Gu Jinli: "Xiao Yu, my uncle and his family all thank you."

Gu Jinli took the money and said with a smile: "Thank you, this is earned by the second strong and Xiaohua, they can make money, Uncle Tian doesn't need to save so much, it's important to buy some cotton quickly, lest you have to spend money when you get cold. buy medicine."

With the 930 four Wen, Uncle Tian came back to life. The money was earned, not the same as borrowed, which proved that they could survive with their own hands.

"Okay, I'll go buy cotton cloth with the second strong." But you can't be cold and sick, you can make money to support your family when you are healthy.

Uncle Tian and Erqiang Tian carried the baskets and went to the cloth village to buy cotton cloth.

When he came back, he was followed by Gu Dafu, Gu Dagui's brothers, and the Chen family.
