Rebirth of the beauty of the peasant girl

Chapter 18 The Boss of the Embroidery Shop

Liu Heping smiled and asked, "What would Niuniu want to eat?"

Liu Qingluo looked around, grabbed her fingers, and said shyly, "Father, I want to eat meat buns..."

There is a steamed stuffed bun stand not far away, emitting bursts of fragrance.

Liu Heping nodded immediately, took a pair of children to the bun shop, found a seat and sat down, ordered two meat buns for his daughter and son, two vegetable buns for himself, and a pot of two cents A cup of tea is considered a lunch.

Liu Qingluo hugged a meat bun, took a big bite, and immediately her mouth was filled with the aroma of meaty oil, mixed with the soft texture of white flour, so mixed together that Liu Qingluo almost swallowed her tongue...

She almost chewed and ate the next half of the buns slowly, and then took a sip of tea, looking at Liu Heping with bright eyes.

"Niuniu, why don't you eat it?" Liu Heping saw that there was still a bun in her bowl.

"Father, may I change my line with you, I want to eat a vegetable bun..." Liu Qingluo was not used to lying, her face was red, and her voice was low.

Liu Wenquan also hurriedly pushed the bun in front of him to his father, saying, "Father, I'll just eat one meat bun, and I'll give you the rest."

When Liu Heping saw two meat buns appeared in front of him at the same time, he couldn't help feeling warm in his heart, and said with a smile: "You two eat it. Dad is an adult. You can eat vegetable buns. You two will grow tall after eating..."

"No, dad, I don't like pork!" Liu Qingluo acted coquettishly and shamelessly, and insisted on changing her meat buns into her father's bowl.

Even his younger sister was so sensible, so Liu Wenquan couldn't eat two meat buns by himself, so he resolutely gave the buns to his younger sister.

Liu Qingluo thought for a while, then asked the shopkeeper for a piece of oiled paper, picked up the remaining meat bun, put it in a small basket, and said with a smile, "I'll save this for my mother."

Seeing this, Liu Heping and Liu Wenquan were stunned for a moment.

None of them expected to save one for Du Shi at home...

This five-year-old girl is indeed sensible and smart...

Even Liu Heping began to feel a trace of guilt and regret in his heart.

If you let Niuniu go to school now, maybe she will be really promising in the future...

After lunch, Liu Wenquan still had an important task left: take the needlework done by the women at home to the embroidery shop and sell it, and then buy some thread and fabric to go back.

Every time he goes out to go to the market, this is the most difficult task for Liu Heping.

He is a rough old man who always runs to the embroidery shop where the women go, and has to choose those dazzling colored threads. Not only does he get a big blush, but he often buys them back with a lot of complaints.

Some thought the cloth he bought was not good-looking, and some thought the colored thread he chose was not bright...

In short, this is a completely thankless job...

Liu Heping took the two children to the door of the embroidery shop he frequented frequently, tied up the ox cart, and asked Liu Wenquan and Liu Qingluo to wait for him in the cart, and he walked into the embroidery shop with a package of embroidery work alone. .

The proprietress of the embroidery shop is a widow in her 40s with a lingering charm. She wears a smooth bun and wears a pretty silk flower on her head.

"Hey, Brother Liu, are you here again?" The proprietress greeted Liu Heping with a smile.

Most of the people who come to the embroidery shop are women. A loyal man like Liu Heping is especially eye-catching. The proprietress has long remembered him firmly...

Liu Heping smiled and handed the package to her, "Miss Boss, please take a look."

The proprietress took the package and said with a smile: "Don't look at it, the sisters-in-law of the Liu family are all good at their crafts, and the embroidered handkerchief purses are selling well."

Liu Heping smiled naively and didn't respond.

Having said that, the proprietress still unwrapped the package and took out the handkerchief and purse inside for a look.

The proprietress looked at it and said with a little regret, "Brother Liu, originally, the workmanship of the sisters-in-law of the Liu family is all good, but the materials and colored threads used here are not top-grade, otherwise the price can be doubled." Woolen cloth."

Liu Ping said dully: "The high-quality materials are expensive..."

At this time, a soft girl's voice intervened: "Auntie, how much is the best material in your house, how much is it per foot?"

"Who's talking?" The proprietress was taken aback, she looked around, but she didn't see anyone.

"Niu Niu, why are you here?" Liu Heping looked down and found that his little girl was standing on tiptoe with a basket on her back under the counter.

He hurriedly squatted down, picked her up, and said with a smile: "This is my daughter, Niuniu, she is very naughty."

Seeing Niu Niu, the proprietress immediately laughed, "So this is your daughter? She looks really cute, how old is she?"

"Auntie, Niuniu is five years old this year. When the twelfth lunar month comes, she will be six years old."

Liu Qingluo held her chubby little finger and gestured to the proprietress.

"Oh, what a smart kid..." The proprietress has been a widow since she was young, and she has never been a man and a half woman. Seeing Liu Qingluo's cute, lively and smart appearance, she was very envious.

Liu Qingluo grinned, revealing a mouthful of small white teeth, smiling brightly.

The proprietress asked again: "Niuniu, be good, what did you ask just now?"

Liu Qingluo called her "Auntie" affectionately when she came up, and the proprietress was very heart-warming, and couldn't help but want to tease Liu Qingluo more.

Liu Qingluo fulfilled her wish 100%, and said crisply: "Auntie, isn't the best fabric here expensive?"

"Silly girl, the fabric is not sold by the foot, but by the piece. Look, this is Ruifuxiang's silk and satin fabric..." The proprietress pointed to a batch of gorgeous fabrics and said with a smile, "Just this one, one or two pieces Two denarii!"

Liu Heping shook his head, thinking that this is too expensive, who can afford it except the official family?
Liu Qingluo rolled her eyes, said softly and innocently: "Auntie, you must have a lot of cut cloth heads here, right?"

"Yes, I throw a lot every day! Why do you ask this?"

"I want to buy some rags back home, Auntie, can I sell them?" Liu Qingluo asked in a low voice.

The proprietress was surprised and said: "Why do you want to buy rags? You throw them away every day, and I just give them to you."

The proprietress liked Liu Qingluo's cuteness and cuteness, so she took out all of today's cloth heads and stuffed them into the basket for her.

Anyway, it was brought for free, so Liu Heping had no objection, waited for the proprietress to settle the accounts, bought some needles and thread according to the proprietress' instructions, and led Liu Qingluo away.

"Niuniu, what are you doing with these rags?" Liu Wenquan asked curiously when he saw it.

"It's covered..." Liu Qingluo smiled slyly, "Otherwise, how can we hide the copper coins in our basket? Isn't it all found by Grandma and Fourth Aunt?"
