Going into exile with a plane trading system, I laughed

Chapter 28: Consumption in the City
"Meet here in one hour, and then go out of the city together, only one hour, remember?"

As soon as he entered the city, Meng Yi said this to the big guys aloud, and after seeing everyone nodded in response, he waved his hands and left.

The few people who had already planned what to buy, each acted separately.

Holding her daughter in her arms, Mrs. Xu first ordered a hundred meat buns at a bun shop, gave a deposit, and agreed to come and pick them up in half an hour.

Immediately afterwards, I went into the grocery store next door and first bought a pannier, and then said to my second brother, "Second brother, ten catties of millet, three catties of brown sugar and five catties of fine salt."

"Hey, Ma'am, please wait a moment, it will be ready soon."

The little second brother who was talking deftly called the millet to Mrs. Xu, seeing that Mrs. Xu didn't bring anything, he thoughtfully put it in a bag and put it in the back basket. The sugar and salt were wrapped in kraft paper and put in the bag. Pannier.

The shopkeeper on the side pulled the abacus and said: "Millet is thirteen Wen a catty, and ten catties is 130 Wen. Brown sugar is 42 Wen for three catties, fine salt is 150 Wen for five catties, and a basket is five Wen. The total is 320 and seven Wen, madam. Just give 320 five pennies."

Mrs. Xu took out the money from her sleeve pocket and gave it to the shopkeeper. She put the basket on her back, took the money back from the shopkeeper, and left the grocery store quickly, and then started shopping on the road with her daughter.

No matter what it is, as long as it is what Ouyang Feiluo said, Xu will buy it. This operation made some people look stupid.

After buying needles and threads at a cloth place, Xu proudly bought fifty embroidered handkerchiefs, two screens and twenty pairs of shoes, large and small.

Then, under the reminder of my daughter, I bought another ten pieces of fabrics of different colors and patterns. The total cost was about 300 taels, and the boss was so happy that he met the God of Wealth.

Xu bought it with pride.The boss was also generous, and directly gave Ouyang Feiluo two dresses, and gave Xu Shi as extras with four sacks of rags in the warehouse and five bolts of cloth soaked in water.

Mrs. Xu also took it happily, and then put the shoes, embroidered handkerchief and dress in the back basket, and tied the cloth and put it on the back basket. Just as she was about to carry the sack, she saw her son and uncle coming over.

"Have you bought it?"

"Second sister-in-law, I'm still short of a mattress, and I'm planning to ask if this house has any."

Hearing what my uncle said, Mrs. Xu immediately looked at the boss: "Sister Zhen, matte, if you have two beds, come here."

Hearing that the business came again, sister Zhen, the owner of the cloth shop, laughed so hard that she couldn't see her teeth, and replied loudly: "Yes, I'll take it for you."

Seeing his uncle and brother coming, Ouyang Feiluo rolled his eyes, looked around, saw her mother talking to his uncle, took advantage of the opportunity when the boss turned around to pick up the mattress, and quietly collected the cloth shoes and three bags of clothes with his mind. rags.

"Sister, can this mattress be made?"

As soon as the things were collected, the owner of the cloth shop asked with a mattress.

"Sister Zhen said that it will definitely work. How much are these two mattresses? I want them all." As soon as Xu finished speaking, she turned her head and asked Ouyang Qin: "Can you buy your shoes?"

"No, buy this together."

"Success. Sister Zhen, eight pairs of shoes. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law each have two pairs, and the other is a nine-year-old boy and a nine-year-old girl. You can take care of it."

"Hey, okay, it'll be fine soon."

After responding, sister Zhen, the owner of the cloth shop, quickly took eight pairs of shoes, and then took some needles and threads as extras, and charged 50 taels.

Sister Zhen saw her off with a smile all over her face, and the four of them left the cloth shop on their own and walked towards the gate of the city.

When they came to a corner, Mrs. Xu said to Ouyang Qin and Ouyang Minglou: "Lou'er, follow your uncle first, and mother will take your younger sister over there to buy something for your younger sister."

"Second sister-in-law, let's go together."

"Mom, I'll go with you."

"No, we'll be here soon, you guys go first, see if there is anything else you want to buy on the way, and buy it quickly, it's been almost half an hour, hurry up." After finishing speaking, they hugged Ouyang Fei Luo walked towards the side street.

Ouyang Feiluo saw that no one was following behind him, so he said, "Mother, my uncle and brother didn't follow, let's go get the buns first."

"Okay, here we go."

When the mother and daughter arrived at the bun shop, it was about the right time. The owner of the bun shop saw someone coming, so he took out the basket full of buns: "Ma'am, this basket is lined with kraft paper, it is clean, don't worry."

Seeing the boss being so caring, Mrs. Xu took out the money and handed it over: "Okay, thank you boss. Here, this is the money to make up for you. You count it."

"Hey, don't count, Madam will definitely not lose money." After speaking, he put the money into a wooden box, and then packed up the things.

The mother and daughter did not stop, and continued to buy on this street, and finally wrapped up the pastry in a pastry shop, and then stopped.

Carrying a portion of pastries in two baskets from a good shop owner in both hands, Mrs. Xu, carrying a basket on her back, led Ouyang Feiluo, who had successfully landed and walked, towards the gate of the city.

When they were approaching the gate of the city, the mother and daughter came to a place where there was no one, and repeated the same trick, leaving only two pastries in the back basket, and then checked, and found that there was nothing wrong with it, and then the mother and daughter went out .

city ​​gate.

After Ms. Xu joined Ouyang Feiluo, Meng Yi and the others in her arms, she waited for a while before seeing the brothers Ouyang Mingqing hurrying over with their baskets on their backs.

Now they all came back, and then they went out of the city together, heading towards the way they came.

Back at the station, the group sat down and rested for about a cup of tea, and then set off again.

When they set off, Ouyang Minglou handed the younger sister into the arms of his younger brother Ouyang Mingxu, and asked them to go ahead, while he followed his mother Xu.

Xu knew that the child must have noticed it, so she asked, "What does Lou Er want to ask?"

"Mother, if you need your son to cover up in the future, just say it directly. The son is not Mingxu's brain. The son understands it in his heart. The three of us now only have a few taels of silver on our bodies, and the rest is given to the younger sister. know about it."

After hearing what the eldest son said, Xu looked at him with a little surprise and asked, "When did you give it to Luo Er?"

"After the tea is served."

Hearing this, Xu asked again suspiciously: "Is the second child really that stupid?"

"I don't know, but the youngest is the first to know."

"Well, that's enough, let's go ahead. The next road is just the beginning, and the road behind will become more and more difficult."

"it is good."

Ouyang Minglou, who came forward, hugged his younger sister Luo Er from his younger brother's arms, then stretched out his hand to pinch her little nose, and said with a smile, "Little clever ghost."

"whee…"

Looking at the smiling younger sister, Ouyang Minglou felt that it was good for her younger sister to have such an ability to hide things, at least she would not let this delicate and soft younger sister go hungry.

Time passed quickly, and before you knew it, it was night.

Although he knew that every family had bought some food, Meng Yi still gave each of them a bowl of glutinous rice paste, assuring that there would be nothing wrong with giving them something to eat.

Ouyang Feiluo, who was used to sleeping in the open, ate the mung bean cake handed over by her mother after drinking the paste, and then lay on the mattress happily, looking at the starry night sky with a pair of big eyes...
