After traveling to ancient times, I became a superb shrew

Chapter 29 The First Order
The sky had just turned pale, and Gu Qing's family had already woken up. They had to go to the town after selling the mushrooms today. When they collected the mushrooms last night, they made an agreement with the villagers that if they didn't come back at noon, they would all come to sell mushrooms in the evening.

Gu Yu and Gu Nuo put two extra meals of vegetable leaves on the chicken at home, and when the door was locked after the mushrooms were sold, they rushed to the town.

Gu Jiang heard from his two children last night that Gu Qing's family did not collect mushrooms at noon and was going to the town, so they waited at the entrance of the village early in the morning.

Several people were sitting in the car, and locusts flew to them from time to time, and the weeds on the side of the road were devastated by gnawing.

"Yang Pei, are there a lot of locusts in our field?" Gu Qing never cared about the things in the field. After so long, she never went to the field once.

"It's much more than in previous years." Speaking of locusts, Yang Pei was also a little worried: "Patriarch, I've thought about it. We'll get off the sickle as soon as the rice is ripe."

Zhu Han also echoed: "This locust is very scary. If it appears in a large area, our harvest for this year will be over!"

Gu Qing was not talking, she was looking for customer service in the mall to ask how to get rid of locusts, and the customer service sent her three common measures to get rid of locusts:
1. In locust-stricken areas, high-efficiency and low-toxic agricultural and biological pesticides can be used to protect predatory natural enemies in locust areas.Or put chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry on the hillside for prevention and control.

2. Reduce the living places of locusts. Some places where locusts occur are relatively low, and the land can be transformed into ponds to raise fish and shrimp, so that the living places of locusts are greatly reduced.

3. Reduce the food source of locusts. Many kinds of locusts eat corn, wheat, sorghum, rice, millet, etc., but do not eat soybeans, alfalfa, fruit trees, etc.Planting more soybeans, alfalfa, fruit trees and other forest trees in places where locusts occur can effectively control locusts.

It's too late at 2 or 3 o'clock. It's better to buy medicine. It's more practical to buy chickens, ducks and geese.

When they arrived in Youshui Town, Gu Qing gave five people 20 taels of silver, and asked them to buy two pairs of shoes, chickens, ducks, geese, cubs, and adults. The more the better.

According to the agreement two days ago, he took the hand-painted album customized by the mall and went to Zhou Mansion. As soon as he arrived at the gate of Zhou Mansion, an old woman immediately greeted him.

"Hey, Mrs. Gu has finally expected you to come. My wife has come to ask you several times. Hurry up, please come inside!"

The mansion of the Zhou Mansion was well built, with pavilions and terraces, verandahs on both sides, and a hallway in the middle, where there was a large screen with red sandalwood shelves and marble.

Turning around the screen, there are three small halls, and behind the halls is the main courtyard behind.There are five upper rooms on the front, all with carved beams and painted buildings. On both sides, there are corridors and rooms on the side of the mountain, with parrots, thrushes and other birds hanging in various colors.On the platform, stood four girls dressed in red and green.

As soon as Gu Qing entered the living room, more than a dozen girls in the seats flocked to surround her.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't worry, I brought an album today. You can choose one by one. If you like it, you can mark it on the rice paper. I will determine the construction period according to the complexity of the jewelry you set! There is a price tag at the bottom of each jewelry album. Customized, no bargaining!"

These pictures are all jewelry pictures in the mall, and there are all the real objects, but Gu Qing is talking about customization, so she can't and dare not show them all at once.

Mrs. Zhou turned her eyes away when she saw the album, "Okay, okay, let's choose first, Xing'er will take care of Miss Gu!"

Gu Qing was sitting on a chair, eating snacks and drinking tea, not in a hurry, waiting for the lady to finish picking, it was almost noon.

There were more than a dozen people, and only 20 hairpins were picked, as well as earrings, step shakers, bracelets, rings, big and small, Gu Qing was dazzled by all of them, wondering how much money she would have to earn with so many things .

Gu Qing rearranged all the serial numbers and prices of everyone's jewelry. There are 5 Zhoufu hairpins, 10 earrings and rings, [-] step shakers, and [-] bracelets.

The Zhao Mansion, the Song Mansion, and the Yao Mansion have no fewer things than the Zhou Mansion.According to the charging standard of the silver house, Gu Qing can earn more than 7000 taels of silver for the jewelry of these companies!
More than 7000 taels, as expected, women's money is the best money to earn at any time!

There are many things, Gu Qing collected a deposit of 500 taels from everyone, and agreed to send the first batch of bracelets and rings with the simplest styles in seven days.

With these 500 taels, you can directly buy that shop. Gu Qing is in a good mood, and her steps are much lighter after going out.

On the way to find Yang Pei and the others,

Gu Qing walked into the only grocery store in the town by the way. The store was quite complete, and there were some antique porcelain bowls, which looked very good. She asked, "Shopkeeper, how much is it?"

The shopkeeper glanced at the muslin shirt she was wearing, and said with a smile, "35 Wen."

Gu Qing: "..."

It's too expensive, wouldn't it cost half a tael to buy ten bowls and spoons, and if you use these to open a shop, the cost will be raised invisibly.

She settled for the next best thing: "Is there a cheaper one?"

The shopkeeper's face collapsed in an instant, and he pointed to the side and said calmly: "This row is the cheapest, one penny each, choose whatever you want."

Gu Qing looked down, and the tableware placed underneath was all defective products, either broken or ugly in design and color, just a little bit better than the broken bowls at home.

She shook her head, turned and walked out of the shop.

The shopkeeper rolled his eyes behind her, he wears such good clothes, but he can't afford the expensive ones, and doesn't like the cheap ones, who the hell...

Gu Qing has confidence.

She went around to the alley and opened the mall. There were all kinds of tableware on the flamboyant panel, which was so beautiful.

She chose a set of household tableware. She wanted to change the bowls at home a long time ago, and the gaps were all stuck in her mouth.

A large ten-inch soup bowl, four eight-inch porcelain bowls and four plates each, eight medium-sized white porcelain bowls with pink plum blossoms on the surface, and eight spoons, the total is only 400 Wen, and the shopping mall The quality is good, and it is the kind of drop-resistant type. It is no problem to drop it once or twice.

"Patriarch!" Mo Li saw Gu Qing coming out of the alley at a glance, and by the tight shoulder straps on both sides, he knew that there were a lot of things in the back basket.

"Patriarch, give me the basket!" Mo Li familiarly took off Gu Qing's pannier and carried it on his body, "Patriarch, we have bought all the things, and put all the chickens and ducks on Uncle Gu's ox cart. Where are we going now?"

Gu Qing waved her small hand and pointed in the direction of Yunshan Academy, "Naturally go to Yunshan Street to buy a shop!"

"Buy a shop? Didn't you mean rent?" Zhu Han asked.

"Did I say rent before? You must have misremembered. I kept talking about buying!"

Gu Qing's eyes dodged a little, and she calmly tugged at Mo Li who was standing next to her: "Yes, Mo Li!"

Mo Xin understood: "Yes, yes, the owner of the house has always said that they are all for buying. Look at your memory!"

Yang Pei saw the cooperation between the two, and it was a little funny: "It's getting late, since you want to buy a shop, let's go!"

"Do you know how to bargain? I always feel that 800 taels is a bit expensive!" But she didn't know what the prices of the shops in Youshui Town were.

Yang Pei smiled and said: "Don't worry, Patriarch, we have inquired about it when we were shopping just now, the shop is at most 500 taels, we will go to bargain later, don't be so foolish!"

"That's fine!" Gu Qing took out the 500 taels silver note from Mrs. Zhou, "I will leave this matter to you!"

Several people watched Gu Qing take out so many banknotes, and their hearts jumped. They knew that collecting mushrooms at home was very profitable, but they definitely couldn't make so much money.

Several people looked at each other, but did not speak tacitly, and even the two younger ones, Gu Yu and Gu Nuo, did not raise any questions.
