Chapter 38 38. Buy

Seeing her granddaughter staring at the pork ribs greedily, how could Mrs. Hua refuse, even if she felt that buying ribs was too uneconomical, not to mention that there were so many bones attached to it.

"A few more spare ribs from the shopkeeper." Looking at the few big bones next to him, he simply asked for them together, and the left and right things were not worth the money.

"Okay" The shopkeeper was happy to buy so many at once, and cut the meat quickly with his hands and feet.

"Five catties of fat, three catties of fat and thin old sister-in-law bought more, it is 110 yuan, five catties of ribs is 49 yuan, the old sister-in-law bought these big bones for five yuan for you."

The shopkeeper is also good at doing business, and the last bone is half sold and half given away.

Mrs. Hua made the calculations in her heart, and it was indeed not expensive, so she immediately smiled: "Oh, thank you, the shopkeeper."

"No thanks, no thanks, old sister-in-law will buy it a few more times in the future," the shopkeeper said with a smile on his face.

"Needless to say, from now on I will be sure of the meat on the shopkeeper's stall," Mrs. Hua said with a grin.

“Come again next time”

"Hey"

Fortunately, I took an extra basket when I came, otherwise there would be no place to put so much meat. After covering it, the three left the butcher shop.

Then he took the flower brocade and went into the grocery store not far away. Now that he was here, he had to buy what should be bought at home.

This is Huajin's first time entering a grocery store. The store is filled with all kinds of things, and she enjoys looking at everything she eats and uses.

Seeing that Niang first asked for a catty of coarse salt, Huajin couldn't help but frown when she saw the bluish black in the coarse salt.

Although I don't know much about this aspect, I can still see that the chemical content of coarse salt is obviously too high, and eating it is harmful to the body.

Just such a catty of coarse salt costs [-] Wen, which is much more expensive than meat. No wonder everyone is reluctant to buy it.

Hua Jin glanced at the fine salt next to the coarse salt jar, then fell silent.

It is said that fine salt is compared with coarse salt. The comparison between the two is indeed much finer, but it is only relative. Although the color is not black, it is still very yellowish.

Looking at the coarse salt carefully put away by her mother, Hua Jian controlled her hands that were about to move.

It doesn't count if she didn't find it. Since she found it, it is impossible for her family to eat it for a long time.

It seems that she has to think about how to convince grandma and mother to let her harm... er, not to filter the coarse salt she bought.

Hua Jin kept shooting at the grocery store, but she was a little disappointed. She didn't see the benefits of the time-travelers in the novel, and found a special seed or something.

Thinking about it, too, giving her a space benefit is already against the sky, she thinks too much.

Then Niang added some vinegar soy sauce and two taels of sesame oil, hesitated for a while and took another pack of pastries, and spent nearly fifty cash back and forth before leaving the shop with her in pain.

I didn't buy food or anything. The family just sold the grain and exchanged a lot of coarse grains. There is no shortage of food in the family in a short time.

Just when Huajin thought she was going back to the stall, her mother and grandma dragged her into a fabric shop again.

Compared with the embroidery workshop, the fabrics here are also more friendly to the people. Most of them are linen and kudzu fabrics, but there is no cotton fabric, and there is no embroidery workshop either. Jinxiu can almost confirm that there should be no cotton fabrics in the place where she lives, and cotton should be dangerous.

Although most of them are more friendly to the people, there are still good materials, but a very small part is some silk materials that look expensive, and most people have already seen them.

The Qi family doesn't even look at this kind of material, but it doesn't mean that if you can't afford it, you can definitely buy it. The most important thing is that it is not practical. Anyone who goes to work in the fields still wears silk clothes.

"Mother, I don't want it." Seeing her mother and grandma kept looking at the brightly colored fabric, Hua Jin hurriedly said.

You don't need to guess that you want to buy it for her.

She really has clothes, and she just made new autumn clothes not long ago.

well!There is no way to be too favored!

Hua Jin sighed.

Mrs. Qi really meant this, but after hearing her daughter's voice, thinking about her winter clothes, which she made only last year, it would still be fine to wear for two or three years, so she hesitated for a while and rested her mind.

Originally, it was also because of excitement. After all, the girl earned more than one or two taels of silver, thinking that what the child earned would be spent on the child. Since Jin'er doesn't want it, then forget it.

But the two eldest sons haven't bought new clothes for two years, and they have grown so much in the past two years that they can't afford to buy them. Now they are just right for winter.

Also, my parents-in-law haven't added a single piece of fabric for several years, and the winter clothes have to be mended and mended, and they have to be added.

Adding it up is a lot of money, but fortunately, he is earning well today. Although the Qi family loves the money, he doesn't show any expression of reluctance.

In the end, I bought a bolt of blue fine linen to make winter clothes for my two sons. I bought half a bolt of soap color and half of tea-brown cloth for the two elders despite repeated rejections from my mother-in-law. Both fine linen and burlap are more expensive than burlap, a total of 630 renminbi.

Seeing that they bought a lot, the shopkeeper gave some rags, some rags, said to be broken but not really shattered, some of them were full-foot material, enough to make a shoe.

Looking at the broken silver flower brocade that Mother took out, she knew that it was not Mother's temporary idea, and it seemed that it was ready when she came.

"Xiu Niang said that your father and I can wear winter clothes for another year. What are you doing with this unjustified money?"

After all came out, the old lady Hua was still twitching in distress. She didn't even bat an eye when buying fabrics for the children, but when it was her turn, she was tens of thousands of reluctant.

"Mother..." Mrs. Qi looked helplessly at her mother-in-law, "Your winter clothes are so torn that you can't mend them anymore, and the catkins you've left behind have almost run away, so it's not warm at all. Mother can't take care of the money you have right now. If you and your father get sick from the cold, it won't be the same."

"But... it's too expensive. There are plenty of places for the children to spend their money? How can you two old guys, me and your father..."

"Mother" Qi interrupted the mother-in-law, even if she didn't say it, she knew what the mother-in-law wanted to say, but that's not what she said. The younger generation wears warm clothes, but the elders are exposed to the cold, isn't it people's spine?
Besides, since my family married into Hua's family, her father-in-law and mother-in-law took her like their own daughter, and this daughter-in-law also saw her in the eyes, and she already treated her in-laws as parents, so how could they let her in-laws suffer from the cold?

"Mother, don't worry about the money. My husband and I will earn it back. Besides, this year's good harvest at home, there is still money for you and dad to add clothes."

Mrs. Hua still feels distressed, but she feels warm and dizzy at the same time seeing such a filial daughter-in-law. She thinks that she will spend more time doing embroidery in the future to supplement the family. After all, the money has already been spent.

"Mother, don't we have any cotton here?" Hua Jin interjected, and changed the subject by the way.

"Cotton?" Mrs. Qi looked at her mother-in-law, and they both shook their heads at the same time.

"Jin'er, are you talking about cotton as a flower? Jin'er wants to buy silk flowers." With a flower character, Qi naturally thought of writing on the flower.

As he said that, he couldn't help but look at the surrounding stalls. My daughter would definitely buy it if she wanted it, and she didn't care about a silk flower after spending so much money.

Hua Jin hurriedly shook her head, fearing that she would go and buy it in the evening.
