Nongmen Jinfeng: Cold-noodled husband and little daughter-in-law

Chapter 715 Bringing Candied Haws Home
She asked the shopkeeper to prepare some small jewelry boxes, and after asking the price according to the range, she picked them out one by one.

In the end, I first selected a few expensive headgears for the old man, and put a few pairs of silk flowers suitable for the old man into it, so that several boxes were filled up, and then I started to pick other people's ones.

This time, there were no bracelets or necklaces, so the price was not so scary. I picked 1000 boxes of head ornaments, and took [-] boxes of silk flowers alone.

After paying, the shopkeeper tactfully brought out two more pairs of bead flowers, and gave them to Fang Xiaofu with a smile.Fang Xiaofu naturally accepted it bluntly.

"We still have to buy other things. Let's leave these boxes here first, and take them away when the eldest brother comes back with the carriage." Fang Xiaofu explained to the shopkeeper, and left the jewelry shop with his second and third brothers.

They walked to Xiangji Buzhuang, Li shopkeeper was stunned when he saw them coming in, Fang Xiaofu remembered that he didn't bring the sapphire pendant with him at all, and couldn't help but smiled awkwardly.

"Xiao Qi'er, what is this?" Luckily, shopkeeper Li recognized Fang Xiaofu, and asked strangely.

After all, she is only so old, no matter whether she wears men's clothes or women's clothes, her appearance is still the same, and the cinnabar mole between her eyebrows is easy to identify.

"I went to the county to buy a farm, and I dressed like this for the convenience of going out." Fang Xiaofu explained casually, and then pointed to the cloth shelf, "Can I take some cloth today?"

She was dressed like this and didn't bring a token. She was really worried at this moment. How embarrassing would it be if she couldn't take it?
"Of course, you can pick it yourself." Shopkeeper Li chuckled, thinking that it was funny how the little girl looked at him eagerly, and quickly pointed to the high-end fabric area.

"Thank you, Uncle Li!" Fang Xiaofu smiled happily when he heard that.There was no one else in the cloth shop at the moment, so she dared to speak normally, then glanced at the cloth shelf, and asked, "I want to give some autumn cloth to others."

"The newly-launched autumn cloth is here." Shopkeeper Li suddenly understood that this gift was not just a few pieces, but with the little girl's handwriting, it was at least dozens or hundreds of pieces.

But if the boss had spoken, he would naturally not feel bad about these free cloths.

He led Fang Xiaofu to Qiubu District and introduced her one by one.Fang Xiaofu also asked the prices one by one. Although she didn't give any money, she still needs to know the market price.

Half an hour later, Fang Xiaofu really picked out 120 pieces of fabric and said that he would arrange for someone to transport them away.

After arranging the two big gifts of jewelry and cloth, they had nothing special to prepare, so they casually strolled along the street, and went to the largest fan shop in the town under the guidance of Fang Ziyuan.

Not long after entering, Fang Zijian came driving a carriage. Uncle Wang Sheng knew that he was called to drag the cloth, so he parked the donkey cart outside the gate of Xiangji Cloth Village.

Fang Xiaofu picked out fifty white paper fans, then asked the shopkeeper Bai for a round fan embroidered with two green bamboos, paid 50 taels of silver, and everyone left the fan shop.

She didn't comment on these fans, she just played with the round fan in her hand, but she sighed in her heart, now she finally understands why only the second brother has two fans among the brothers, while the eldest brother and the third brother don't have one.

It turns out that a white flour fan costs one or two taels of silver, which is undoubtedly unimaginable for a farmer who has to do odd jobs to earn even pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

But why didn't the third uncle give it away?Why does the second brother only care about playing with his fan? He can afford it too, right?
Although she had such doubts in her heart, she didn't ask, nor did she have any suspicions against her second brother.If it was at first, she might think that the second brother looked down on the other brothers from above.

But after getting along with her for this period of time, she believed that this was not the case.

Although the second brother can't do farm work, he can still treat his brothers and sisters.Moreover, after living in the old house for so long, he didn't think east or west, and he didn't even bring Chenfeng and Chenming with him, so he could do everything by himself.

So, is there another reason?

She endured the doubts in her heart, and when she saw a hawker selling candied haws on the street, Fang Zizhan immediately chased him, and bought two sticks with red and bright candied haws in them.

Seeing her boy carrying candied haws turning around and smiling at her, Fang Xiaofu couldn't help but smile happily.It's just that even if there are two sticks filled with candied haws, it's not enough to go back to the village.

Sensing her entanglement, Fang Zizhan immediately asked the peddler, is there any more at home?He bought them all.The peddler was shocked when he heard it, and stammered that there were indeed quite a few at home.

So Fang Zijian drove the carriage and followed the peddler to the place where he lived in the town, and saw that there were indeed several large pots in the workshop, several women were neatly stringing gourd strings, and several men were about to go out with sticks on their shoulders.

There are at most fifty sticks on a stick, and two pennies a piece is a penny.

Fang Zijian directly gave ten taels of silver, and asked the woman to clean the two baskets containing clean hawthorns.

Spread a layer of clean gauze, then spread the stringed candied haws flat first, and then put them vertically. Put hundreds of sticks in one basket, add two large baskets, cover the top with clean gauze, and put them into the carriage piled up.

The hawker didn't expect to make ten taels of silver without going out, and he was very happy.

When Fang Zijian drove the carriage away, he felt a burst of emotion. They had bothered their brains for a few pennies, and they were very happy to be able to eat a bunch of candied haws.

Now, he can buy so many candied gourds for ten taels of silver, just to coax the children back to the village.

Fang Xiaofu didn't want to squeeze into the carriage because there was a whole load of candied haws. She climbed onto Uncle Wang Sheng's donkey cart and asked Fang Zizhan to sit next to his elder brother holding the two sticks still full of candied haws.

Of course, she had already started eating a candied haws in each hand.Of course, she didn't forget to invite shopkeeper Li and the waiters of Xiangji Buzhuang to eat candied haws.

It was the same when we arrived at the jewelry store. The shopkeeper didn't expect them to buy so many candied haws, so he couldn't help being happy. He suddenly felt that eating a stick of candied haws occasionally is not bad, and he was in a good mood.

Fang Xiaofu and the three brothers went home with candied haws.

When they returned to the village, all the families had finished their lunch, and many people were sitting in the open pavilion at the entrance of the village to enjoy the cool and chatting. When they saw Fang Xiaofu and the others coming back, they all greeted Fang Xiaofu warmly.

Then he saw the candied haws target in Fang Zizhan's hand, and couldn't help laughing.Fang Zizhan also greeted them with a smile, and asked them to insert candied haws from the stick by themselves.

"Is this for the little brothers and sisters? Let's forget it as adults." An aunt said with a smile.

"We bought more than 2000 sticks, enough for them to eat candied haws." Fang Xiaofu said with a smile, which immediately made everyone laugh, and they came to smoke candied haws unceremoniously.
