Chapter 51

The waiter's eyes were full of contempt. He looked Xia Qinghe up and down, with an undisguised disdain in his eyes.

He said in a perfunctory manner: "What do you want to buy? Our things here are very expensive, can you afford them?"

Xia Qinghe looks like a girl with no money. She doesn't have money to come to the shop to do something, and she doesn't bother to receive him.

If there was another grocery store, Xia Qinghe would definitely leave angrily when he encountered such an attitude, but this is the only grocery store in this town, if he left, he would have to go to the county seat.

She rolled her eyes at the waiter in the store and was very angry: "If I go into the store to buy something, it is difficult to return it. I have to show my property first. I will pay you for my things. If your boss knows that you are doing business like this, You are not afraid of losing your job."

After finishing speaking, it doesn't matter whether the waiter in the shop blows his beard and stares, he goes in and chooses.

There were a lot of things in the grocery store, but she still found the lock she wanted in the corner. She needed a lock for the gate, and another for the courtyard door. She was thinking that the kitchen would also need one, and if the locks were cheap, she would also need one for her room. That way you don't have to worry about being stolen.

The shop waiter was bumped by Xia Qinghe with a "hehe", and became interested in Xia Qinghe: "Just now I spoke a little too aggressively, girl, please don't worry, she looks like a person from there?" He thought Xia Qinghe could be so courageous It's rare, if he said that to other girls, they would have left in anger.

Xia Qinghe chose a few locks and saw that the contemptuous expression on the waiter's face disappeared, and his voice softened a bit: "What are the prices of these locks?"

She pointed to several different locks, completely different from the locks of this era, but each one seemed to be strong.

The waiter in the shop became more enthusiastic at the moment, pointing to the locks and introducing the prices one by one: "This one is [-] Wen, this one is [-] Wen..."

Hearing the price, Xia Qinghe was speechless. This is not a small amount. Thinking of the situation at home, she gritted her teeth and bought two for 35 Wen, and one for [-] Wen. In the sleeping room, the kitchen room does not need to be locked, but the courtyard door needs to be locked with a cheap one, and the door must be a little more expensive.

She was not in a hurry to pay, and asked for some more firecrackers.

The shop waiter looked at Xia Qinghe with strange eyes: "Now that the Chinese New Year is too early, what are you buying so many firecrackers for?"

"Prevent thieves." Xia Qinghe said very freely.

The shop waiter didn't take what Xia Qinghe said seriously at all, and looked at Xia Qinghe with a smile: "You girl can really tell jokes, how can you buy firecrackers to prevent thieves, just tell me what else you need."

He could tell that Xia Qinghe must have money, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen how to be free and easy.

Xia Qinghe bought some more things that the family needed, and then asked the waiter to settle the score.

The waiter fiddled with the abacus and began to count, a total of more than 200 Wen. Xia Qinghe sighed slightly in his heart when he heard so much money. When he came out of the Yunxiang Restaurant, he thought that [-] Wen was a lot, but he spent it all at once. I'm afraid it will cost a lot to buy quilts and cotton clothes later, the money is really not enough, if it weren't for the Ganoderma lucidum, she might not even be willing to buy clothes.

Seeing Xia Qinghe paying the money quickly, the waiter in the shop felt more and more that he was justified by Xia Qinghe just now: "Just now I said what the girl said, please don't mind the girl, I just talk about it casually."

Xia Qinghe really didn't pay much attention to this matter, the waiter could say whatever he wanted, and didn't take this matter to heart.

Seeing that the waiter in the shop was really remorseful, she raised the corners of her lips: "Just don't treat me like this next time."

The waiter stood at the door and watched Xia Qinghe go to the clothing store, and became more and more interested in Xia Qinghe.

There were some bought things in the back basket, and Xia Qinghe was reluctant to put down the back basket, and kept carrying it on his back into the clothing store to pick it up. This is a small town, and some nearby villagers came and went to buy goods, and most of the villagers bought them. Cotton and linen clothes, as well as silk and satin are also available in stores, and there are not many in the most eye-catching positions.

As soon as Xia Qinghe entered, a woman in her thirties greeted her with a smile: "Miss, what are you going to buy?"

Xia Qinghe was curious about the surroundings, looked around, looked at the enthusiasm of the shopkeeper and smiled gently: "I want to buy clothes, but I don't know how to do it and want to buy ready-made clothes. I don't know the price of ready-made clothes."

The clothes she was wearing were really bad, and there were big holes in the hem. She wanted to change the ragged clothes a long time ago. When it got hot, it gave off an unpleasant smell, which made her feel sick. feel sick.

And let alone the cotton trousers, they were so dirty that she didn't dare to wear them out to meet people, if it wasn't because she was thinking about three meals a day, she really didn't have the courage.

The woman looked Xia Qinghe up and down, she was not used to being looked at like this.

"The shop happens to have clothes worn by a girl of your age. Do you want better or worse clothes?" The woman asked tentatively.

Without even thinking about it, Xia Qinghe said, "It's better, better cotton." The weather is cold, and it looks like it's going to snow. If it snows, I'm afraid it will be even colder. She can't bear it then.

The shopkeeper went to the back of the counter and picked out two brand new cotton padded clothes. One was made of floral fabric with a blue background, which looked very neat and beautiful, and the other had no patterns at all, and the sky blue fabric was also pretty.

The shopkeeper fiddled with the two pieces of clothing and introduced them: "The price is the same. For a girl your age, I would suggest wearing something brighter, or just this one."

As she said that, she handed the floral one to Xia Qinghe, but Xia Qinghe's eyes were on the sky blue one.

It is undeniable that the broken flowers are beautiful. She fell in love with this dress at first sight. She felt that she would look good in it, but even if it was beautiful, she couldn't buy it. After so many years in the village, everyone looked at her. Nothing is right, I'm afraid it will be more eye-catching if you are dressed in fancy clothes.

She still decided to keep a low profile, the sky blue one looks good too, the key is to keep a low profile.

"How much is this?" She pointed to the clothes next to the shopkeeper's hand.

The shopkeeper was a little surprised, but soon put on a smile: "This is the best cotton, and the workmanship is also made by an embroiderer who is good at needlework. The price is naturally more expensive. This dress is 120 renminbi."

Xia Qinghe was still a little surprised when he heard 120 Wen. After all, the cotton used in this dress was no more than two catties, and the cost of fabric and workmanship were only 120 to [-] Wen. [-] Wen was indeed expensive.

She was not in a hurry to bargain, but pointed to another man's clothes and asked, "How much is that?"
