Farmer's Ruyi Manor

Chapter 69
Xiaohua asked Cheng Wenqiang to take her to the cloth shop this time, and soon the two of them arrived at the cloth shop. Since it was too early and the door hadn't opened yet, they had to go to buy urns and wooden barrels first.

Soon the two bought 2 large urns and 2 small urns, which cost another 130 Wen.Xiaohua and Cheng Wenqiang said: "Cousin, you also know that this time I cooperated with Yuelai Restaurant, the sour bamboo shoots and hot and sour bamboo shoots. I need urns, but those of us who have urns in Chengjiakeng compare, so , I’ll buy a few more big ones and two small ones. It’s just that I’m afraid there won’t be enough space for the ox cart, and I’ve bought too many things.”

"I know all of this, Xiaohua, don't worry, we can first put the small urn into the big urn, then put a few big urns into the wooden barrel, and then put all the rice salt we bought into the big urn It will be enough for a while. When I go back, I will use a rope to tie the barrels to the bullock cart. You don’t have to worry about this at all.”

As soon as Xiaohua heard that her most worrying matter had been resolved, she nodded and went to buy with confidence.The two of them had just walked into the barrel spot, looking at those barrels, Xiao Hua imagined that she could finally take a bath, and felt so refreshed.

As for a question that suddenly came to her mind, what if she could get in the vat she bought but couldn't get out?When you go in, you can use a stool as a cushion, but what about when you come out?This is a problem, but if you buy a smaller one, it will definitely not be refreshing enough to soak.So after thinking about it, I ordered a big one, first for her mother and grandma to take a bath, and then I asked for one suitable for her current age.These two large wooden barrels cost Xiaohua another 100 Wen.

Xiao Hua thought to herself, sure enough, the big ones are expensive, there is nothing to say about the expensive ones, the urn and the wooden barrel cost 230 renminbi.

The two of them followed the others to put all the things on the side of the bullock cart, and put the bought things one by one according to what they said before, and put them down.Inside the big barrel are Xiaohua's wooden barrels, and Xiaohua's wooden barrels are two big urns, and inside the big urn are two small urns, and the small urns are filled with rice, oil, salt and meat bought home.

After putting the things away, the two went to the seed shop again, thinking that this time they would go back to buy fields, and no matter what, they would have to spend an acre to grow vegetables, let’s grow food, and they couldn’t always eat wild vegetables or other people’s homes. .

The two went to the seed shop to find out what varieties were available.As a result, I bought some cabbage seeds, potato seeds, and green vegetable seeds.After that, I chose some barley seeds, orange trees, grape vines and the like.Finally, I chose some melon seeds and watermelon seeds.Xiao Hua felt very strange, how could there be watermelons in this era.

Ask the village head to ask for help, only to learn that this is a new breed from the Western Regions, and no one has cultivated it yet.To Xiaohua, isn't this like a big pie falling from the sky?
These random seeds cost Xiaohua another 425 Wen. Cheng Wenqiang felt that it was too expensive, but Xiaohua felt that as long as it was worth it, it was not expensive.I'm afraid that after spending money and not getting something out, it's a waste of money.

"Cousin, I think it's almost time. Let's go buy cloth, so we can go back early." Xiao Hua looked up at the sky, it was already eight or nine o'clock in the morning, and now it was time to buy cloth.

The two walked into the Liji Cloth Shop in the town together. This cloth shop is indeed the best in the town. It is clean and bright. There are bundles of bright and beautiful cloth on the counter. There are cotton cloth, linen cloth, silk, silk floss, silk, damask, Shu brocade and so on.And behind the counter is a piece of cloth, on which are placed vertically one by one, making the little flowers dazzled.

"Guest officer, hello, what do you need? Our Liji cloth shop has everything you need. Look at this piece of cotton cloth. The color is ours..." Xiaohua interrupted before she finished speaking: "Let me see for myself. You don't need to say hello, you can go to your business."

Xiaohua looked at the cloth and thought to herself: "Mother, I haven't worn new clothes for many years, and even the clothes on her body were cut by her with the best clothes. The same goes for grandma, looking at the clothes on grandma's body, A lot of patches have been patched, and the clothes on Xiaozhuzi's body, it looks like the old man's clothes that he has never seen before have been modified. Also, she Cheng Xiaohua wants to wear cloth shoes, and she needs to wear them for her mother Cloth shoes, the whole family has to wear cloth shoes." There was also the family of the grandma who had never seen her before.Waiting for the Dragon Boat Festival to give gifts.

So I thought about it and asked: "Shopkeeper, how do you sell this step? How do you sell numbness and cotton cloth? I only want solid-colored cotton cloth, without patterns." Now their family can't afford those silk and satin. , It's not bad to be able to wear cotton cloth.

"This numbness is 60 cash for a batch, and the cotton cloth is 150 cash." Xiao Hua thought to herself, how many clothes can be made from a piece of Nima's cloth? Why is it so expensive? No wonder those people can't afford clothes. Most of them are still worn, which is too expensive.

Forget it, since you are here to buy, buy more, be generous, anyway, it’s better to make more, mother and grandma are too hard. "Shopkeeper, bring me two pieces of this linen. I want one blue and one blue. Six cotton, two pink, two navy blue and two blue."

The little girl who was going to introduce Xiaohua just now thought that Xiaohua and the others couldn't afford these things and was very poor, so she was embarrassed and refused his introduction.Unexpectedly, since he bought so much cloth at once, he happily stepped forward and refused to help.

"Hi, guest officer, the total is 1 tael and 20 Wen." The shopkeeper had already calculated the money with an abacus crackling over there.

"Shopkeeper, I still want to know, do you have any spare steps here?" Xiaohua asked, thinking that it would be good to use those nano soles. I heard from her senior sister that she wore cloth shoes when she was a child. The cloth is pressed and packed layer by layer. It is said that it is a thousand-layer bottom. I heard from my senior sister that it is very easy to wear. Now Xiaohua’s feet are also very easy to wear, but I don’t know if it’s just a thousand-layer bottom. Will not judge.But if you think about using these as soles, it should be very good.

"Yes, but what are you going to do?" The shopkeeper was very curious.

"The shopkeeper sees that I have bought so many things, can you erase the odd 20 Wen, and send me some useless rags from your store?" .

The shopkeeper looked at the 8 pieces of cloth, and it was early in the morning, which could be considered a good start, and Xiaohua also seemed unwilling to answer, so she readily agreed.

Xiao Hua took out a tael of silver, looked worried at the few pieces of cloth, and asked the shopkeeper if he could get someone to help deliver it to the gate of the town.The shopkeeper of Li Ji Buzhuang took a look and asked Xiao Er to carry it over.By the way, he took out two more bags of broken steps and gave them to Xiao Hua.

"By the way, shopkeeper, I want to buy some cotton. I don't know what the price of your cotton is?" Xiaohua suddenly thought of the thin quilt at home.Although the weather will get warmer and warmer, because of this, cotton is cheap now.When the weather is cold, it will be expensive, why not take the opportunity to buy together now.
