The splendid countryside of the princess

Chapter 9

"I want this painting, how much do you think it will cost?" Shangguan told Tang Dai to ask for a price.

"Aunt Shangguan can give you as much silver as she thinks it's worth. You said just now that you are sure to be innocent, I believe you." Tang Dai didn't say anything, she wanted to see if the shopkeeper Shangguan was what she thought she was, and was not a greedy person. deceitful.

"Oh, this little mouth is really sweet, even your aunt is screaming, so I can't give it up." The shopkeeper Shangguan smiled, and his mouth was also teasing.But I was thinking in my heart, this little girl is not simple!There is a sharp edge hidden in these words.

"Well, this flower pattern is really novel. I'll give you seven taels of silver. In addition, you can draw another happy door curtain. The time is not in a hurry. It will be embroidered and delivered in 20 days. Your sister will embroider it with silk thread. Take it from me, it’s mine. I’ll give you 15 taels of silver for the embroidered door curtain, and pay a deposit of five taels first, how about it?”

"Okay, deal, aunt is very fair, thank you, Aunt Shangguan" Hearing this, Tang Dai knew that the shopkeeper of Shangguan had sincerely handed over to her, and the shopkeeper of Shangguan was probably not an easy one.The price offered is still higher than her psychological price.Tang Dai was happy in her heart, and she raised a smiling face, "My aunt is long, but my aunt is short."Just kidding, if you have money to earn, what does it matter to call you aunt.

After speaking, he asked for paper again, and drew a picture of the door curtain of "Magpies Climbing Branches" for Shangguan shopkeeper, Shangguan shopkeeper smiled and squinted his eyes.

This shopkeeper Shangguan got a good appearance today, he already made a lot of money from a screen, and now there is a door curtain waiting to make money, so he is very happy.

Tang Dai explained to the shopkeeper Shangguan how to match the color of the screen, and picked out the silk thread and curtain for the door curtain, and packed them up.

"I'll give you silver, seven taels for the screen, five taels for the door curtain deposit, three handkerchiefs, two taels for each, six taels in total, two pairs of ordinary insoles for you, and a pair of good designs for you. Ten taels. A total of 12 taels and [-] taels, right?" The shopkeeper Shangguan held the abacus, and gave Tang Dai an ingot of [-] taels of whole silver, two taels of broken silver, and twenty copper plates.

"That's right, Aunt Shangguan is so capable, and the abacus is ringing, how can she be wrong?" Tang Dai summed up in her heart that she was right, and turned on the sweet-mouthed mode.Making Shangguan's shopkeeper laugh out loud, she asked Xiaodie to wrap the bag of good dim sum that she had just unpacked for guests and give it to Tang Dai to take home to eat.

Tang Dai took the silver with both hands, put the whole ten taels on the bottom of the bag and put it away, and put the two taels of silver and twenty copper coins into her bosom.Tang Hua, who was still in a daze, bid farewell to Shangguan's shopkeeper, and left the shop with his bag and snacks.

After walking a long distance, looking back at Tang Hua, who was still on the same side, he shook his head and couldn't help laughing.More than a dozen taels of silver, what can I do with it!
"Second sister, we have to go to the bullock cart in a hurry, we have to go shopping and go home"

"Little girl, are those ten taels of silver ours?" Tang Hua still had a confused expression of disbelief, and Tang Dai wanted to laugh out loud at his cute appearance.

"Well, of course, it's all in your pocket, why isn't it ours?" Haha, Tang Dai finally couldn't hold back her laughter.

"Little girl, you bad girl, let you laugh at my sister, see if I don't hit you." Tang Hua saw that Tang Dai was laughing at her, and blushed in embarrassment and made a gesture to hit Tang Dai.

One ran in front and the other chased after. The two sisters ended up laughing and making a fuss on the street.After being disturbed by Tang Dai, Tang Hua returned to normal.

"Sister, you keep the twenty coins." Tang Dai took out the other twenty coins and gave them to Tang Hua alone. This was the second sister's labor income and should be given to her.Tang Hua stretched out his hand to pick it up, and also wanted to give it to his mother when he went back.

"Come on, little girl, I'll buy you some delicious food." Tang Dai looked like an old man, and smiled at Tang Hua with a naughty face.
"Fourth sister, it's on the street, don't make trouble." Tang Hua blushed. The fourth sister must have had a convulsion today, and she had never seen her like this before.

Seeing that Tang Hua was getting shy, Tang Dai didn't bother her. She went to a bun shop on the street and bought twelve meat buns, and kept eight for home.The other four ate together with Tang Hua.She came early in the morning, and she was not willing to eat breakfast in the morning, she was already hungry.

After eating, Tang Hua was ready to go to Damaite to buy. The family needed to buy rice, quilts, cloth, and meat. She also wanted to buy land and build a house. Seeing that winter was coming, she didn't want to Frozen to death in that broken thatched hut in winter.Thinking about it, Tang Dai felt that the little money in her pocket was not enough. Hey, there is a long way to go on the road to making money!

Thinking that there is not much rice in the house, she eats rice with vegetables and sweet potatoes every day. Although she still liked to eat wild vegetables and other grains in her previous life, she can't bear to eat them every day now. White rice is still comfortable to eat.So I ran to the rice store and bought [-] catties of refined rice, [-] catties of brown rice, and [-] catties of white flour.

"Little girl, little girl, buy miscellaneous grains, buy miscellaneous noodles! Those are cheap." Seeing Tang Dai's extravagant appearance, Tang Hua was anxious to buy cheap ones.

"Second sister, don't worry about it, eat those every day, you won't be bothered by it, from now on, just follow my sister and me to eat hot food and drink spicy food." Tang Dai didn't care what she said, and pretended to be an old man. Patted his flat little chest.

Tang Hua looked at Tang Dai's convulsions again, and twitched the corners of her mouth, letting her decide what to buy, so she didn't say anything.

Seeing the two of them, the little guy in the store secretly smiled, and quickly wrapped up the things Tang Dai wanted, and counted the money.

"Brother, these things are very heavy, and I have to buy other things, can I put them away first?" Tang Dai asked the waiter
"Okay, I'll help you put it aside alone"

After discussing with the staff, Tang Dai went to the cloth shop to tear the cloth again, and made two bodies by herself.Thinking about building a house in a hurry, I didn't dare to buy a good one, so I bought coarse cotton cloth.Tang Feng and Tang Jue both chose navy blue. He chose gray blue for Mrs. Li, blue for himself, and a white one for the bottom of the jacket. Tang Hua chose it himself. dark green.

Then I went to a shop selling cotton wool and bought four quilts that had already been stretched and pressed, two of which were covered in autumn and two of which were covered in winter.Six catties of loose cotton, stuffed in jackets to keep warm.When passing by the meat stall, I did not forget to cut five catties of meat and picked up a few big bones.

After the things were bought, the two taels of money on his body were also spent. Tang Hua looked at the pile of things speechless, still feeling sorry for the two taels of money.Seeing so many things, she asked Tang Dai why she brought them back.

Tang Dai thought for a while, the ox cart that Dong Dong returned to the village must not be able to fit.I put all the things together, rice, meat, and cloth at the shop that bought the cotton wool. I gave fifteen cents, left the address, and asked the store to help deliver it to Tangjia Village.

"Second sister, do you know anyone who sells tofu and bean sprouts?" Seeing that the money was so careless, Tang Dai thought about the soybeans at home, and tried to make money again.

"What are tofu and bean sprouts? I haven't eaten them before." Tang Hua thought for a while and shook her head. She had never eaten them, and she had never seen anyone else eat them.

"Come on, let's go to the West Street to have a look, maybe it's another way to earn money." Speaking of the word "silver", Tang Dai's eyes lit up, as if she saw the gold ingot flying towards her.

"Little money fan" Tang Hua smiled dotingly, and patted Tang Dai's head.

"Hurry up, maybe you can meet Aunt Osmanthus." Holding Tang Hua's hand, he rushed to West Street
After arriving at the vegetable market, Tang Dai dragged Tang Hua around like a little loach, but she didn't see anyone selling tofu and bean sprouts.Another way to make money!Tang Dai star-eyed.

The two happily walked towards the place where the ox cart was parked. From a long distance, they saw Aunt Osmanthus waiting there anxiously. They were all people who came over in the morning. Everyone was here, and they were the only ones missing.

Get on the bullock cart quickly, and the bullock cart will set off.Aunt Osmanthus looked at the two of them, and opened her mouth to say something, but she glanced at Granny Qian, but she didn't say anything, the two girls just handed in some embroidery, why did it take so long.

Tang Qian and Tang Juxiang looked at the bulging bag in Tang Hua's hands, and wanted to say something, but they didn't say anything when they thought of what happened in the morning.

On the contrary, an old lady next to her looked at the snack box in Tang Dai's hand and said, "Oh, how much did you two sell for this embroidery? Seeing that this snack is a good one, it must cost a lot of money."

"It was given by the owner of the embroidery shop. He said that my sister embroiders things well. There are not many things for my sister to eat. Uncles and aunts share the taste." He opened the snack box in his hand and took a few Give a piece to several people in the car to taste.

Thinking about it, I still took another piece and handed it to Tang Qian. "Grandma, there are not many of these things, you and Sister Juxiang will share the food."

Everyone ate the dim sum, and they all praised the dim sum, which is not something ordinary people can afford.Seeing Tang Dai bring snacks to Tang Qian, they all praised Tang Dai for her filial piety.Even Tang Qian's face turned better after hearing this.

The original owner's nemesis really has a bad reputation, and she has to slowly change her image in the eyes of the villagers. Afterwards, the family will gradually become rich, and when something happens, the strength of the crowd is also strength when someone needs to speak.

After wandering around for almost an hour, the ox cart finally returned to Tangjia Village when Tang Dai leaned on Li Guihua and was about to fall asleep. The ox cart was really too slow.Tang Hua, Tang Dai and Li Guihua got out of the car together.

On the way, Tang Dai secretly stuffed two pieces of dim sum and two meat buns for Li Guihua, and asked her to take them back for the golden dog to eat, but Li Guihua took it after pushing it twice.After hesitating for a while, he still didn't ask what was in his heart, bid farewell to Tang Dai and Tang Hua and went home.
