Blessed little peasant girl

Chapter 65

The woman was crying loudly, and the beating person was not to be outdone.

A shriveled and thin old man stood up, holding a package of things in his hand, and opened it for the people around him to see.

"Everyone comment, what kind of medicine does he sell? My son was seriously ill, and he went to the doctor to prescribe a prescription. He said he knew someone in the pharmacy, and it was cheaper to get good medicine. But look , We spent half a tael of silver to buy things, look, we only know this after seeing the doctor, he used the grass roots and bark to fool us, look at these pieces, he took dried radishes and pretended to be ginseng for us , my poor little son, he is still lying on the bed now!"

Taking advantage of people's dangers to sell fake medicines to swindle money, the onlookers heard this and immediately condemned the couple on the ground.

The crying woman pointed her hand and said to the skinny old man.

"What kind of medicinal materials, we don't know at all! My man is a peddler. Your family asked for dry goods by name a few days ago. My man took a long time to collect them for your family. We took a lot of dry goods from your house 130 Wen, where did you get half a tael of silver!"

"You're talking nonsense! The evidence is here, everyone, look at it, old man, I'm not lying, look at the contents of this medicine bag, radishes, wild vegetables, roots, vegetables, leaves, bark, this bag of things you want half a tael of silver from my family! "

The woman cried and denied it, the old man led two young men and accused them of asking them to pay back the money, the people around were noisy, Jin Meiyu wanted to take a look, but their ox cart had gone far away.

"Hey, Mangu, stop, I haven't finished listening yet."

Jin Mangu patted the scalper's buttocks with a small whip, urging the scalper to go faster.

"What's so interesting about these, let's go to the city quickly, it will be dark when we get home late!"

The scalper walked neither fast nor slow, Jin Meiyu looked back for a while, but no one could be seen.

After entering the city, Zhao Xi helped Zhao Huanghua get out of the car, just like what they said, they had something to do in the city, so they couldn't be with Jin Meiyu and the others.

On the contrary, Erbing and Zhuzi stayed, and before they separated, Zhao Huanghua pulled the two of them and told them to follow Jin Meiyu well and listen to her for a long time.

The two sides separated, and Jin Mangu pulled Jin Meiyu with an ox cart. At this time, Jin Mangu remembered to ask Jin Meiyu.

"Sister, what are you doing in the city?"

"Go to the cloth shop!"

"Sister-in-law, you want to buy cloth, what are you doing?"

"I want to make clothes for my parents, so I need to choose a better fabric!"

"Sister-in-law, can you make clothes? But the pin pricked my hand."

"Hmph, I'm going to catch it, you can hurry up."

Jin Mangu didn't have any idea about making clothes that Jin Meiyu said, so he did what Jin Meiyu said, and drove the ox cart into the county.

The county town is not big, there is not much traffic, the shops on the road are gray, and the pedestrians on the road are all skinny, and it takes a long time to see a person with flesh on his face.

Jin Mangu has never been to the county seat, but it is not difficult to find a shop selling fabrics, just go to the street that looks cleaner and more prosperous.

The bullock cart stopped, and Jin Meiyu jumped out of the bullock cart and went straight into the shop.

The ox cart was handed over to Erbing by Jin Mangu and asked him to watch, and then he and Zhuzi followed Jin Meiyu into the shop.

This shop is not big, there are not many fabrics on the counter and on the shelves, and there is only the owner in the store. When Jin Meiyu came in, the boss was arranging the fabrics. When he saw someone coming in, he subconsciously smiled.

After seeing that it was a child who came in, the boss didn't show a cold face, but continued to look outside the door.

After Jin Mangu and Zhuzi came in, he subconsciously took Zhuzi as a customer who wanted to sell cloth.

"Girls come to buy cloth, what do you do? Cutting new clothes or dowry?" Although Zhuzhu is thin, most people are thin now.With her height and appearance, she is almost at the age of getting married. Such a big girl is mostly preparing for marriage when she goes out.

After Zhu Zi heard this, she quickly shook her head and waved her hands, then looked at Jin Meiyu.

Jin Meiyu was not as tall as the counter, she looked up at the fabric with her head up, and after hearing this, she took it subconsciously.

"Boss, you read it wrong. I was the one who came to buy the fabric. Boss, do you have better fabrics that are more skin-friendly."

The boss looked at the beads, then at Jin Meiyu, and after a pause, he greeted him as usual, and even because of Jin Meiyu's height, he even picked up the fabric and stretched it down for Jin Meiyu to see.

"I have a lot of good fabrics. Take a look at this fabric. It's a new product. It's soft and skin-friendly. It must be comfortable to wear as an underwear."

This material didn't even need to be used, Jin Meiyu began to shake her head.

"This material is too colorful. I bought it for my parents."

As soon as he heard that he was buying materials for his parents, the boss had a clue in his mind. He regarded Jin Meiyu as buying materials for his parents.

Although seeing Jin Meiyu's age, being "entrusted with a heavy responsibility" at such a young age is very unnatural, but it is more acceptable than Jin Meiyu running to buy materials by herself.

Knowing that the kid really wants to buy materials, and not fooling him, the boss is more sincere in recommending materials.

To make clothes for parents, the material used should not be light in color, so the boss chose an indigo-blue material for Jin Meiyu.

"Little girl, take a look at this material. The material feels very good, and the price is not expensive. It only costs 25 renminbi per foot."

The feel of this material is really good, like this kind of fabric, it usually costs more than [-] Wen per foot.

But there is something wrong with this material, not only the material is dyed in different shades, Jin Meiyu also saw traces of moths.

"Boss, your material is not new, is it?"

The boss nodded calmly, very frankly.

"This is the leftover material from the year before last. Don't think there are some problems with this material, but it's cheap and doesn't affect your wear."

The boss usually contacts a lot of people. Although Jin Meiyu is well dressed, it is also plain, and the material of the clothes on her body is only at the middle price. , will not pick the boss's material, and they will even prefer this material.

Jin Meiyu pulled out some material and looked at it. The texture of this material was indeed okay, similar to the material her father brought back to make clothes for her, and much better than the material used to make clothes for other people in the family.

However, the dyeing of this material is indeed too 'flowery', the blue is too colorful.

So Jin Meiyu still shook her head.

"Boss, my father is tall and burly. If he wears this flowery dress outside, he will be laughed at. Change it for me."

The boss took back the circle of fabric with kindness.

Like this kind of fabric, the boss is not worried about selling it, so he doesn't care if he doesn't sell it.

What's more, with Jin Meiyu's tone, it might be possible to make a big deal today.

With the idea of ​​getting a good one to try Jin Meiyu's psychological price, he looked back and took out the best materials in the store, and pulled out some hanging down for Jin Meiyu to see.

"Then look at this, little girl. This is the best material in our shop. It costs 72 renminbi per foot."

This material is much more expensive than the last one, and you get what you pay for. Not only is the weaving finer and more uniform, but the dyeing is also very good. There is no obvious color difference, and the feeling of starting is also very soft, but the price is indeed a bit high. .

Jin Meiyu touched it with her hand, and she made up her mind the moment she took it.

"Boss, your price is too expensive. If I want more, can you give me a cheaper price?"

The boss didn't expect that Jin Meiyu would really like it, so he hurriedly asked.

"How much do you want?"

"Two horses, you measure two horses for me."

A piece of cloth is four feet, and one foot is equal to ten feet. One piece of cloth, saving some cutting, should be enough for five or six people.

The boss didn't expect that a big job really came.

He thought for a while, stretched out four fingers and said.

"Little girl, if you want two horses, I can give you four cents less per foot."

Jin Meiyu shook her head.

"I'll give you sixty Wen per foot."

"That's not good, little girl, I don't make a lot of money at 66 cents, how about it, [-], this is my limit. Little girl, take a good look, this fabric is not only good in fabric, but also dyed well. Shame."

"Sixty cents a foot, boss, you are sure to make a profit. I want two bolts of cloth. It will be very difficult for the boss to sell such a cloth. It will definitely not be a loss if you give it to my boss."

"No, no, I'll give you a penny at most, 65 pennies, [-] pennies is too little, too little, this can't be sold."

"Boss, it's only sixty cash. Your fabric is made of cotton and linen, not silk. Sixty cash is just handicraft money."

"Little girl, the maximum is 65 wen, and it can't be less. This ghost is a handicraft money. It can twist the yarn so finely and dye it so well. A master craftsman who has not been ten years will definitely not be able to do it."

"Just give me sixty cash. This fabric is just eating ashes. Why don't you give it to me? The boss can earn a lot of money."

The boss thought about it, hesitated and hesitated, and finally nodded.

"Okay, okay, I'll give you sixty Wen. You're a little girl, and you can speak quite well."

"Boss, wrap it up for me after it's finished. Make it tighter. Boss, I need to buy some thread. Do you have any thread?"

"Yes, what kind of thread do you want? We have all kinds of thread, hemp thread, cotton thread, thin and thick."

As he said that, the boss took out several balls of thread from under the counter to show her.

"Don't want this, I want to make embroidery thread for clothes."

"Embroidery thread? This is also available. Our store has a complete range of colors." Taking back the ball of thread in his hand, he took out several long cards wrapped with threads of different colors.

"Look, little girl, tell me what color you like, and I'll get it for you. Five cents per bundle of thread."

Jin Meiyu really took a good look at it. The embroidery thread on it has more than 50 colors, including red, yellow, blue, green, blue, blue and purple, and the thread is very thin. One thread is divided into three strands. fine.

While Jin Meiyu was looking at the thread, the boss started pulling the fabric for her.

These two pieces of cloth were new cloths taken out from behind, and each piece of cloth was wrapped with oiled paper. He carefully unwrapped the oiled paper, then took out the cloth, and began to measure it in front of Jin Meiyu. I will let Jin Meiyu take a look.

"Little girl, take care, measure one horse, I have half a foot left."

Jin Meiyu nodded, and the boss started to measure the next one. After all the measurements were finished, the boss rolled up the fabric again, and then wrapped it in oiled paper.

At this moment, Jin Meiyu also picked out the embroidery thread.

"Boss, I want all these embroidery threads. I want seven bundles of these ten kinds, ten bundles of these two kinds, two bundles of these five kinds, and one bundle for the rest."

"Okay, okay, I'll take it for you, take it for you."

The embroidery threads were all packed in a wooden box, and now they were taken out one by one, and then carefully pulled out the ones that Jin Meiyu wanted, placed them on the oiled paper, and counted them one by one.

After the embroidery thread was arranged, the boss took a small box from the counter, opened it, and pulled out three small embroidery needles from it.

"Little girl, take care, you bought a lot of things, I will give you three more embroidery needles." Put the needles in the paper bag, and then took a bamboo embroidery frame. "And this embroidery stretcher is also for you."

After wrapping up the paper bag of embroidery thread, the boss started to figure out his calculations, and it was still time to settle accounts.

The boss looked at the goods and muttered words, but Jin Meiyu had already figured out the price in her heart.

Although she figured it out, she didn't make a sound. There's no need to make such a splash on this kind of matter, not to mention that the boss may not believe what she said, and she still calculates it by herself, which still wastes time.

Jin Meiyu waited, and the boss finally understood.

"A total of 480 texts, little girl..."

Jin Meiyu fumbled in her sleeve, and took out a five-liang silver ingot and a silver dime.

The silver dime was in the shape of a cake, and the amount was one tael. The boss took it over and inspected it, and then hurriedly gave Jin Meiyu some change.
