It is difficult for the farmer's sister

Chapter 30 Shopping (November [-] of the Lunar Calendar)
Shunhe Restaurant is the largest in the county, and it also charges the most. Three plates of meat plus a few steamed buns cost Su Rui five taels of silver.

This money is enough to buy five or six big white geese, but the most important thing is that the brothers and sisters eat happily.

Passing by Huichun Hall, Rurui didn't intend to go in, but Dr. Sun saw her and came out to say hello: "Su girl, I haven't seen you enter the city for a long time."

Everyone came out to say hello, so Su Rui could only stop and say, "Grandpa Sun, we won't be selling wild ginseng for a while."

Dr. Sun waved his hand: "I know you didn't... Wait, you, you mean you won't sell it for a while? Did you say you won't sell it later?" Dr. Su looked at Su Rui in shock, which meant that there was still Is it because they don't sell it recently?

Su Rui just looked back with a smile on her face, without explaining.

"Haha, you little girl." Dr. Sun pointed helplessly.

"Grandpa Sun, we have to rush to buy things, and we have to go back with the ox cart in the village later, otherwise it will delay the time to go back."

Dr. Sun did not continue to stop him, but only said: "Little girl, it's time to come next time. You can come to our Huichun Hall for a ride. It's okay if you don't have a bullock cart going back. Our pharmacy has a horse cart, so I can take you there."

Su Rui nodded with a smile: "Then I would like to thank Grandpa Sun first. I will come to see you next time."

After bidding farewell to Dr. Sun, Su Rui and the others came to the tailor shop, all of which were men's clothes.

Su Rui plans to buy two clothes for Second Uncle Song. He is wearing her father's old clothes. After all, he is a child of everyone. It is not good to wear his dead father's clothes like this.

Seeing so many styles of clothes, Su Ying looked back and forth excitedly, and grabbed Su Rui who was incoherent, "Big, big, big sister, look quickly."

Su Rui pulled out the sleeves that were tightly pulled by Su Ying: "Oh, second sister, don't get excited, the elder sister saw it. Tell me about you, you are so excited when you see a man's clothes."

Su Ying calmed down and carefully observed the styles of the clothes.

There were three guys in the clothing store, two of them probably thought that the Su Rui sisters and siblings were just here to make trouble, and ignored them. Only a young guy came forward and asked enthusiastically, "What do you all need?"

"Isn't the ready-made clothing store just for buying ready-made clothes? What else can I buy?"

The guy laughed, "You're wrong, we not only have ready-made clothes, shoes, socks, underpants, everything related to fabrics, we also have it."

Su Rui looked around and asked strangely, "Then why, there are no women's clothes?"

The clerk helped to answer: "Women's clothes are going to be bought at the embroidery shop, we only sell men's clothes."

Su Rui suddenly realized: "Okay, then we need to buy men's ready-to-wear."

When the guy heard that he wanted to buy clothes, he pointed to the wall covered with clothes and asked, "Take a look, what kind of style do you need?"

Su Rui looked at the styles of each piece, and felt that they were all similar, but I really didn't see any difference...

Then she asked Su Ying in a low voice: "Second Sister, which one do you think Second Uncle Song is suitable for?"

Without hesitation, Su Ying pointed to a duck-egg blue blouse with asparagus embroidered on the cuffs and neckline.

Su Rui compared the clothes around her and found that they were all similar in style: "Dude, we want this one."

"Then what is the size?"

Su Rui didn't ask the size, which is embarrassing "..."

Su Ying hurriedly gestured and said, "You are a head taller than you, and you are about the same size."

The man took out a brand new dress from the closet: "Okay, there is another one that fits the size, you can take it back and try it out, if not, you can bring it to the store for free adjustment."

When Su Rui was about to pay the money and leave, she remembered that next year Su Chenrui would go to a private school. Modern schools have special school uniforms. In ancient times, there should also be special styles of clothes. "I want to ask, what kind of clothes should I wear when entering a private school for the first time?"

The clerk glanced at Su Chenrui and said, "Is it this young master?"

"Yes"

The clerk took out an adult scholar's attire and said: "When I go to a scholar, I always wear coarse linen clothes. I am not allowed to wear Qixixiu and jewels. He is a dude. Literati look down on him."

"Er..." Su Rui thought to herself, "Isn't it just a poor scholar who can't afford good clothes, so he's jealous of a good family..."

The guy continued: "Actually, the style is simple, not fancy."

Su Rui motioned for Su Ying to help choose a padded robe and a single suit for Su Chenrui, and Su Chennan also had the same two suits.

Su Ying made the choice, and Su Rui asked: "Chen Rui, do you think your second sister can choose? If you are not satisfied, you can choose by yourself." Su Rui said that she is very democratic and doesn't talk about it.

"Yes, the second sister chose very well." Su Chenrui didn't care about the clothes, as long as they were complete, he thought it was fine.

"Where's Xiaochen Nan? Is it okay?"

Su Chennan didn't understand, she just tilted her head and looked at Su Rui suspiciously: "Eldest sister?"

Su Rui wasn't prepared to get an answer from Su Chennan, so she said, "Okay, I just need these five sets of clothes, and I need three pairs of shoes. Please figure out how much money you need."

The guy didn't expect to sell five pieces of clothes on the second day when he officially started working. He was very happy and said excitedly, "Wait a minute."

The hearts of the two guys next to him turned into lemon juice, and the shopkeeper looked behind the counter and shook his head. He had said a long time ago, don't look down on anyone.

I took the abacus from the counter, and set it up in front of Su Rui's sister and brother: "A fine cotton robe for an adult costs 860 Wen, a fine cotton robe for a young master costs 520 Wen, and a single fine cotton robe costs 380 Wen. The fine cotton robe is 390 Wen, the fine cotton singlet is 280 Wen, a pair of adult shoes is 640 Wen, the little son is [-] Wen, and the little son is [-] Wen, the total of Chenghui is [-] Wen.”

Su Rui handed him a three taels of silver.

"I'm looking for 360 Wen. You go slowly, and I'll come back next time." The clerk respectfully put the recovered money in Su Rui's hand.

Su Rui smiled at him, put away the money, put the wrapped clothes into Su Chenrui's back basket, and said, "Let's go, now go to the embroidery shop."

When they arrived at the gate of the embroidery village, Su Chenrui saw that they were all women, misses, and little girls, so he didn't want to go in. Su Rui didn't force him, so she handed Su Chennan over to him, and gave him another ten coins. Waiting at the tea booth opposite Zhuang, he walked in with his three younger sisters.

The appearance of the embroidery village looks much taller than that of a tailor shop. The vermilion six-open door, once entering the hall, there is a very large antique rack, on which are placed all kinds of silk flowers, handkerchiefs, sachets, and hair bands. .

Going inside, there is a tall counter on the left, and all kinds of clothes are hung on the right, and there are a few Xiuniangs embroidering various patterns on the clothes at the bottom.

A woman dressed like a shopkeeper came forward to say hello: "Girls, do you need a dress? Or a handkerchief and sachet?"

Su Rui took a step forward, smiled and said to the woman: "Sister, we sisters, each of us should wear new clothes for the New Year, and the color can't be red."

The shopkeeper saw that sisters Su Rui were wearing plain colors, but they were made of fine cotton, so they must be in good condition, so he picked up an orange cotton robe embroidered with begonia flowers, pointed at Su Wan and said to Su Rui.

"This little girl must be lively. This color is most suitable for you. You can choose it yourself, or let me recommend it."

Su Rui chose a lilac-colored embroidered dress.Su Ying chose an apricot dress with daisy patterns embroidered on the collar, and Su Qiao directly chose a goose yellow dress with colorful butterfly patterns embroidered on the hem.

Another person chose two pairs of shoes, one pair of single shoes and one pair of cotton shoes.

"Chenghui 4000, two hundred and twenty Wen, I am sending you four silk flowers."

Su Rui thanked the shopkeeper for the silk flowers, took the copper plate she was looking for, left the embroidery house, found Su Chenrui who was taking Su Chennan to drink tea, and set off to the market together.
