Chapter 20 Buying New Year's Goods
Erxiao watched her sister-in-law and younger sister walking towards the town again, and remembered what the fortune-teller said.

Think about it or the same thing.

Since my sister-in-law changed her temperament and became the master of the house, there have been many changes in the family.

The land is the lifeblood of the family, and my sister-in-law took back the two acres of land from the Wang family. Although the money is not in the hands of the mother, but I know it in the past two days, and there are several taels more.

Just after selling frozen pears, I paid hundreds more.

In the past two days, the food has also improved a lot.

The chicken stewed with mushrooms is really delicious.

It seems that what the fortune-teller said is not unreasonable.

It depends on how my sister-in-law behaves in the future. If it is always like this, I will work hard at home. If not, I will not be at home and go to live in the cave on Dayan Mountain, out of sight and out of mind.

Xiaotao took her little sister to the town, and saw that although Shaqiu Town was just a small town, it was far away from the county seat, and there were no other towns nearby. buy and sell.

Especially since it is coming to the new year, there are all kinds of food, such as peanuts and melon seeds, pots and pans, rice noodles, grain, oil and cloth, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar tea, pork, beef and mutton, as well as big roosters, old hens and ducks. Goose watchdog.

Some cooked the meat and came to sell it.

Some people also dug ice holes in the reservoir to catch big fish and sell them.

The hunters who were hunting also came to the town with their prey on their backs. There were very few prey in winter, and there were a few of them with silly roe deer and a few pheasants in front of them.

The green vegetables are only carried by the nearby vegetable farmers, covered with a big quilt, and put a little green vegetables on top to explain what kind of vegetables are sold.

Xiaotao wanted to buy a lot of things, so she took the little girl to the glass mirror stand first. The mirror at home had to be changed, so there was no further delay.

The papered windows are really unsafe, and the glass prevents someone from using incense to harm others.

Although this method treats the symptoms but not the root cause, it can be resisted for a while.

Those who want to harm herself, Xiaotao wants to deal with them bit by bit in the future.

The little girl stood at the door of the store, watching her sister-in-law open the door without hesitation and go in, feeling distressed, she also followed her into the house.

I don't dare to persuade my sister-in-law not to buy a mirror, and I am not in charge of the family, but this mirror is too expensive.

A piece of square glass costs five cents, so the front and back windows of my house need a lot of glass. It seems that selling frozen pears today may not be enough to buy anything.

Xiaotao entered the room, looked at the thick frosted glass hanging on the wall in the room, turned around and asked the shopkeeper, "Is there any glass that is clearer than this glass?"

Although I have the memory of the original owner, in this era, frosted glass is not affordable for ordinary people, and it is very expensive, but I have to ask, what if it is really new.

Times are developing, society is progressing, and this era is still a dynasty that has never been seen in history.

The clerk looked at Xiaotao and Xiaomei who came in, and shrugged. How dare you come in to buy frosted glass with this outfit?It's funny to ask if there is any clarity.

"May I ask if you have anything to do? If you have nothing to do, go out quickly, the doorways that come in and out are covered with snow!"

Xiaotao stared at the hairy guy, stomped her feet vigorously and sneered, "You guy, how do you do business? Do you think we can't afford frosted glass?"

The little girl is busy pulling sister-in-law from behind: "Sister-in-law, let's go."

"Little sister, wait a minute."

Turning around to look at the guy, he sneered: "Is this how you work for your boss? Ah, you can tell that we don't buy glass when you see our clothes? You really look down on people!"

The guy was shocked by Xiaotao's aura, blinked his eyes to look at the two people, and asked, "Then how much do you buy? We only have this kind of glass here."

As he spoke, he pointed to the glass hanging on the wall and looked at Xiaotao.

There were two more gentlemanly dressed men in the room who also looked over.

Xiaotao compared the size of the mirror and said, "I want to buy the glass of an average family's three houses, and the size should be according to the material I gave you."

Hearing what Xiaotao said, the guy looked at Xiaotao in surprise. He didn't expect this modestly dressed woman to actually buy glass.

So he hurriedly accompanied Xiaolian: "Ah, forgive me for being objective, I just misread it."

Xiaotao sneered: "It's just your attitude that makes me very angry. If you can make it cheaper, I'll buy it at your house. If not, I can buy it at another store. Anyway, I spend money and you sell the goods.

I am the customer and God, how can your boss use a guy like you?If I were your boss, I would have fired you long ago and allowed you to run wild here! "

Speaking of which, Xiaotao pulled the little girl and turned around to look at the waiter, and was about to leave.

Xiaotao is really angry, she can't do business with her own money, so why should she spend her own money to buy something she likes, right?

Seeing that the two were about to leave, the man hurried forward with a smile on his face: "Look, I was wrong just now, please forgive me."

At this time, a middle-aged man walked up from behind, and scolded the guy with a cold face: "How do you do business? How can you judge people by their appearance? Get out of here!"

The man blushed and bowed to Xiaotao, then backed away.

"Oh, I'm sorry, it's all my Liu's fault, don't be angry, I will compensate you for my buddy."

Xiaotao knew that this person should be the shopkeeper of this shop, she nodded and said, "I'm just here to buy glass, I didn't expect your guys to do business like this, I really didn't expect it."

"Yes, yes, I blamed my poor management for making you unhappy. In this way, I will give you [-]% of the price for how much you want to buy. What do you think? As long as you don't get angry, Liu can open that guy now."

Xiaotao shook her head: "Forget it, it's not easy, especially buddy, just do as you said, give me the material, so I can get the glass and leave."

There are still many things that need to be bought, which cannot be inked here.

The boss hurriedly ordered people to cut the material according to Xiaotao's size, and helped to wrap it with wrapping paper.

Xiaotao paid, and the shopkeeper ordered someone to take the glass to Erxiao's wheelbarrow.

Seeing his sister-in-law bought the glass, Er Xiao was surprised, how much money does it cost?
Xiaotao also saw Erxiao's doubts, and did not explain: "You wait here, let's go buy some food fabrics."

Xiaotao wanted to take the second child with her, but she was afraid that there would be no guards here, so she could only take the younger sister and hurried to the cloth.

She chose a piece of fabric for each person in the family. Although only the younger sister in the Liang family was kind to the original owner, Xiaotao thought that she had vented her anger on the original owner, and it was okay to make a new padded jacket.

I threw all my heart in the ready-made clothing shop in the town, but I was afraid that I would not be able to make it a year ago, so after discussing with my younger sister, I decided to take it back to the village and send it to Aunt Liu's house to make it.

The two of them bought some candies of peanuts and melon seeds, and some pork. Xiaotao didn't plan to buy green vegetables so early, anyway, Xiaotao was going to come over tomorrow anyway, so she had to prepare to earn more money before the year.

I don't want to think about anything else, but I also want to exchange one tael of silver for one point.

Xiao Tao also bought some of the pots and pans at home, especially the washbasin, one is enough for the whole family to use.

Xiaotao bought three washbasins in one go, one for herself and her younger sister to wash the face and one for the feet, one for the east room to wash the face, and the other for the old one at home to wash the feet.

Towels are all sweat towels in this era, and white sweat towels are also acceptable. They are made of cotton and are very absorbent.

I bought a total of six, one for each person, and kept one for myself to wipe my feet.

I searched for toilet paper in the town for a long time, but if there was none, I had to buy some wrapping paper.

Looking at the pile of wrapping paper in sister-in-law's hand, the younger sister asked in surprise, "What is this for?"

Xiao Tao smiled: "I'll teach you how to use it when I get home."

Looking at the teeth of the second child and the younger sister, Xiao Tao gave up after thinking about it. There is no toothpaste and toothbrush in this era, so I can figure out a way when I go home.

There is also the most important rice noodle oil, which was sent to the car of the second child for the younger sister to watch.

"Er Xiao, go shopping with me."

The second child is puzzled, I have already bought all these things, what else should I buy?
Do you have those silver coins?

If I have doubts in my heart, the second child will not say anything, anyway, I am not in charge of the family, buy it, and I can use it when I buy it at home. The money is in the hands of my sister-in-law, who knows which man will spend it in the future.

Not long after, the rice, flour and oil were all ready, Xiaotao looked at Erxiao's thin cotton jacket, and became cruel, and bought another two catties of cotton.

The quilts have to be replaced, and the kang mats have to be replaced with new ones, including the curtains.

The goose yellow curtains look good, and Xiaotao likes it very much.

After everything was bought, the people at the fair also left one after another.

Back to the wheelbarrow, reloaded the wheelbarrow, tied everything up, and the second and younger sisters pushed the wheelbarrow and walked out of the town.

Unexpectedly, before leaving the town, I met Zhang Dahu's carriage, which had been waiting for a long time at the town.

Zhang Mandun in the car saw Xiao Tao approaching, and he raised his hand ecstatically and shouted, "Xiao Tao, come here quickly, we have been waiting for you for a long time."
