Mr. Big Air's First Lady

Chapter 11 Shopping
After the family of four took a bath, although they were still hungry, they were much more energetic.

The food in the kitchen over there is also ready, Xiao Er came to ask if the food can be served.

"Come on, I didn't catch up with lunch at noon, I was already hungry."

"okay."

After a while, when Xiao Er reappeared, he was holding a tray with two dishes and some cakes on it.

Xiaoer pointed to the cake and introduced it to everyone: "This is called naan here, and it is one of our specialties. You can try it, it's delicious."

Wan Ning inhaled the smell in the air with her nose: "It smells so good."

She can identify the smell without inhaling, and this is just for others to see.

Xiao Er was very happy to hear Wan Ning's words: "Yes, it tastes more delicious."

After speaking, Xiao Er went down with an empty tray.

When Xiao Er left, Wen Maoyi said, "Let's eat."

Only then did everyone pick up their chopsticks and prepare to eat.

After being hungry for a long time on the road, each of them took a piece of naan and took a bite. Before they had time to savor the taste carefully, they chewed a few mouthfuls and swallowed it down.

Now they don't pay attention to the taste when eating, as long as it is food, it is delicious in their eyes!
Wen Yuze used to be a bit picky eater in Dry City, but after half a year of exile, traveling through mountains and rivers, the problem of picky eaters is gone, and he can eat whatever he gives.

The family of four wolfed down a table of dishes.

Feel sleepy after eating.

In addition, they couldn't sleep well during their exile, everyone had dark circles under their eyes, and their expressions were exhausted.

Then get some sleep.

Get a good night's sleep, and you will have the energy to buy things tomorrow.

This sleep lasted until the next morning, and all four members of the family were like this.

It can be seen that several people have accumulated a lot of fatigue along the way.

After getting up, Xiao Er brought hot water.

Wash up and go downstairs for breakfast.

The free breakfast is a bowl of unnamed, slightly spicy soup, plus one piece of naan bread per person, and a small dish of pickles.

Xiao Er introduced to them: "This soup is also our specialty here, it's called Hu spicy soup, isn't it delicious?"

"Yeah, it's very delicious." All four members of the family nodded.

"Drink more if it tastes good." Xiao Er was very proud that these guests liked the local food.

In order to repay Xiaoer's enthusiasm, the family of four drank two bowls each, proving that this hot and spicy soup is really delicious.

After eating and drinking enough, I took a short rest to digest food, and by the way, I asked Xiao Er about which pawn shop, where to buy cloth, the most cost-effective, and the most reputable pawnshop, etc.

Inquiring about pawnshops is not for pawning things, but for buying things, to see if you can buy tables, chairs, benches, furniture, etc. that others have pawned.

For these big and heavy items, it is more cost-effective to go to the pawnshop to buy second-hand than to buy new.

After inquiring about the news, Wen Maoyi left with his wife and children to go shopping.

The family of four decided to split into two groups. Wen Maoyi took his son to the pawn shop to see if he could buy furniture. If not, he went to the carpentry shop.

Lu took Wan Ning to the cloth shop to buy cloth, cotton and other things.

Wan Ning followed Lu's, and found the cheap and affordable cloth shop that Xiaoer said.

After entering the door, there were a few customers inside who were choosing cloth, while Wan Ning and Lu Shi stood far away to look at the color of the cloth.

Wan Ning looked at the single and ordinary color of these cloths, and couldn't help shaking her head.

I don't know if this place is backward, or the world's cloth dyeing technology is poor, none of the colors of these cloths can catch her eyes.

After the customers in front had bought something and left, Lu Shi brought Wan Ning forward.

They were greeted by a gentle-looking female shopkeeper.

The female shopkeeper looked at Lu Shi with a smile: "Is there any cloth you fancy?"

Mrs. Lu pointed to the cotton cloth she liked: "The blue one, the ivory white one, the pink one, the water blue one, and the flowery one, all of them will be brought to me."

Usually everyone pulls cloth by a few feet, and few people buy one piece every time they buy it.

The sudden appearance of a big customer like Lu's made the shopkeeper very pleasantly surprised, and asked with some uncertainty, "Are you sure you want one horse as you just said?"

Mrs. Lu nodded: "Yes, I want to make winter clothes and quilts."

"By the way, do you have any cotton here? This year's new cotton is best."

"Yes, yes! It's definitely new cotton. How much do you buy?"

Lu did some calculations in his mind. In winter, I heard that the winter here is very cold. A bed needs at least two quilts, and three beds in their house need six quilts.

There are also at least six quilts to cover the body.

Calculated in this way, at least twelve quilts are needed.

Moreover, the quilts should be thick or thin, so you need to prepare twelve thinner quilts and twelve thicker quilts.

Lu Shi: "I want to make twelve thinner quilts and twelve thicker quilts. How much cotton do I need?"

When the shopkeeper heard it, this is a big customer!
Immediately, the smile on her face widened by three points, and then she reported a number.

Mrs. Lu nodded, "Then do you have so much new cotton?"

The shopkeeper: "Of course. Madam, after you bought cotton, you still need to use it to make quilt cores. I have it here. Would you like to come with me to the back to have a look?"

If there is a good one, it can save some trouble: "Is it new cotton?"

"You can rest assured about this. Our family is famous for its integrity in business in these ten miles and eight towns."

"Okay, let's go and have a look."

The shopkeeper turned his head and said to the waiter in the store: "Look carefully, I will take this lady to the back."

After the confession, the shopkeeper asked Lu Shi and Wan Ning to follow her.

Following the shopkeeper to the backyard, the field of vision is full of packed cotton wool, which is being hung on a shelf to dry.

The shopkeeper's introduction: "My mother's family is the one who beats cotton wool. These are packed and delivered from my mother's house. Take a look."

"Here, it's all made of this year's new cotton, some thin and some thick."

"The other side was made by Chen Mian last year, and it looks quite white when you look at it alone. It is quite different from this new cotton."

Lu's walked towards the new cotton, and reached out to touch the cotton wool.

Wan Ning also imitated Lu's to touch those cotton wool.

Lu's felt all the new cotton wool: "Shopkeeper, your quantity is not enough."

"Don't worry about this, if it's not enough, I'll tell my married family and let them finish it and send it to your home."

"Okay, the shopkeeper, can today's goods be delivered?" Not to mention the cloth, just these cotton wool, the two of them can't move.

"Yes! Of course I can!" The shopkeeper was excited.

"Okay, then help me figure out how much money I need."

"Okay, then you come back with me, and I'll do the math." The shopkeeper doesn't know how to do mental calculations, so he has to go back and make calculations.

The three returned to the front shop.

The shopkeeper took the abacus and beat it for a while, and said to Mrs. Lu: "There are two taels and 350 wen in total. I will wipe off the change for you. Two taels and three hundred wen will do."

It only costs two taels of silver to buy so many things.

Wan Ning once again refreshed her understanding of the purchasing power of silver in this world.

No wonder he gave Song Gu 500 taels before, and he took good care of his family of four along the way.
