Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 221 Going to Ask for Roast Duck
Liu Ya is not stingy when buying things, and she is also quick to pay.After the calculation, he didn't talk about the price, and gave the money immediately.

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Okay, no matter how good the medical books are, you can keep them for the girl. As soon as you see the girl, you will know that she is a learned woman. Is it possible that you will be a female doctor in the future? I am short of a real good man like you here. What about the customers. Some people pretend to be elegant, but they only read rambunctious essays, and their mouths are full of dirty words, which is really unbearable."

Naturally, Liu Ya can't control what other people read, but those profane essays have been sold since ancient times, as long as they make money, what kind of elegance do they care about?
Liu Ya smiled and said: "You don't have many books here. If there is a chance, I will write a few and send them to you. If there is a market, you can give me some money."

"That's that. I didn't expect that the girl is so talented and can write articles?" The shopkeeper looked surprised, and then said: "If the girl really can write, I will contact the bookseller and ask them to distribute it. It is also a piece of paper." A good deal."

What Liu Ya said just now was half joking and half serious, she responded casually, and left with her things.

After leaving the bookstore, Liu Ya looked at the things in her hands, there were medicinal materials and brushes and ink, but there were quite a lot.But when she looked up and saw a cloth shop in front of her, Liu Ya thought about it and walked in.

The cloth seller was a well-dressed old craftsman with a tape measure hanging around his neck, probably in the process of cutting clothes.Seeing Liu Ya entering the door with big bags and small bags, the old master greeted him: "Sit here, little girl, put down the things first, and talk slowly about what to buy."

After Liu Ya came in, she took a casual look, and saw that this cloth shop was much larger than Wu Guihua's cloth shop in Ning'an Town.The styles of clothes are also complete, and the colors of the fabrics are also good.He said, "I want to buy some sets of quilts, are there any in stock?"

The master craftsman said: "There are no ready-made quilts, but the girl wants a few sets of quilts, what are they used for, tell me, I will make them for you now. Cotton and quilt covers are ready-made, just sew them up with needles, and you can't use them." How much time."

Liu Ya laughed as soon as she heard it, and said: "What else can bedding be used for? Of course it's bedding."

The old master also laughed, and said: "Little girl, you are inexperienced. I don't know that this quilt also has something to say. If the couple is getting married, then they have to use the red quilt to make dragon and phoenix quilts. Make four sets or eight sets. They are all particular. If there is a funeral at home, it is wrapped in a quilt, and you have to use dirty jokes to make the noodles. Summer quilts are different from winter quilts, it’s important to put a few catties of cotton in.”

Hearing what the master said, Liu Ya understood.He said, "I'm just buying a few sets of quilts that are commonly used at home. Summer is coming soon, let's make summer quilts. I want four sets... no, let's make five sets. Four sets of summer quilts and one set of winter quilts."

"Oh, okay, four sets of summer quilts and one set of winter quilts." The old master muttered, found a small piece of powder and wrote it down, and asked, "Is that girl a double or a single?"

"They're all for one person. The mattresses should be thicker." After Liu Ya finished speaking, she asked again, "Do you have pillow inserts too? I also need five pillow inserts."

The old master said: "The pillow core is white cloth stuffed with buckwheat husks. Five pillows are put on the scale together, and the price is only calculated according to the weight of the buckwheat husks. The white cloth for sewing the pillow core is given away."

Liu Ya said: "That's fine, master please do it for me now. I have to go out and come back to pick up the quilt later. Let's settle the bill now, I will pay the money before leaving."

Seeing Liu Ya being so forthright, the old master couldn't close his mouth with joy.Hastily dialed the abacus to settle accounts.While doing the calculations, she said: "Girl, you can choose the quilt cover. I will give you the cheapest price for whatever design and color you like. In addition, I will match you with a pillowcase according to the same color material as the quilt cover. No more money from you."

Here the teacher settles the score, Liu Ya went to choose the quilt.The quilts are all made of satin and white cloth, and the price is not much different.But Liu Ya doesn't like bright red and green, so she chose a few sets of quilt covers in plain colors.

Liu Ya has made the choice here, and the old master has settled the account.These five sets of quilts are really not cheap, each set of summer quilts costs four renminbi; winter quilts have two catties of cotton more, and the size is slightly larger, one set costs five renminbi.Five buckwheat husks are filled with pillows, and it costs a penny.Added together is two taels of silver.

Liu Ya breathed a sigh of relief, if it wasn't for the money that the girls had booked for the small bamboo basket, she would have used the ten tael silver ticket that Zi Ruo gave her for all the expenses.

But Liu Ya didn't hesitate or be stingy at all.Although the quilt at home is clean, it has been patched one after another, and the cotton wool inside has been flicked many times, and some places are gathered into bags, and it feels uncomfortable to cover it.Now that I have money, it is of course to buy things at home. It is better to eat well and sleep comfortably than anything else.

After paying the money, Liu Ya went straight to Xiankeju after leaving the cloth village.After entering the door, I looked around and saw the guy who received her when she came the day before yesterday.

Liu Ya walked over and asked: "Brother, I want to ask, where is Mr. Qi Shi Mingqi, the manager here? I have something to ask him."

The guy saw that Liu Ya looked familiar, but there were too many customers coming and going in Xiankeju every day, so he didn't think about it for a while, so he said: "Miss, find the manager. But today, the manager is very busy, and he is collecting ducks in the backyard. The backyard is messy." There is no place to go, girl, what's the matter, can I pass it on for you?"

Liu Ya thought about it, she couldn't just say that she came to ask for roast duck.He took out the handkerchief Miss Ziruo gave her from her bosom and handed it over, "Actually, Miss Ziruo from Hongxiufang called me here, please, brother, take this handkerchief to Manager Qi and see if Manager Qi can do it." Take some time to come over?"

"Okay, wait a minute, girl." The guy looked a little strange when he heard the name "Zi Ruo".But he didn't say anything, took the handkerchief and walked back.

Liu Ya felt that Zi Ruo didn't seem like a big talker, so she waited in peace.

Sure enough, after a while, the guy came over with a young man.

Without waiting for the guy to introduce him, the young man introduced himself: "Little girl, I'm Qi Shiming. I don't know why Miss Ziruo asked you to come to me?"

Liu Ya took a little look at Qi Shiming, and saw that he was in his twenties, seven or eight years old, he was not handsome but he was quite pleasing to the eye, especially his clothes were tidy and clean, giving people a comfortable feeling.Seeing him asking Zi Ruolai again, his eyes flickering and he seemed a little anxious, he secretly felt that Qi Shiming was particularly concerned about Miss Zi Ruo?
