Chapter 125 Buying a Carriage (2)

The man wiped the carriage first, and then asked Liu Xiaodong to come out to see if it would work. Liu Xiaodong saw that the car was wiped clean, and it looked brand new. He thought that this man was serious about his work. It's worth the money spent.

"Okay, it's pretty clean."

With Liu Xiaodong's approval, the buddy felt relieved, "Then I'll put the cart on the horse for you."

"Well, let's go."

After the man put the car on, Liu Xiaodong and Xiang Qin drove away directly. They had to go shopping again, and the delay in the horse market was too long, otherwise it would be dark when they returned later.

Liu Xiaodong was sitting in the carriage, holding the fan Xiang Qin bought for her and fanning it lightly, only then did she feel that the heat was not so hot. Xiang Qin was sitting on the outer edge of the carriage and driving the cart. He is still in the market, on the street When people come and go, Xiang Qin can only lightly whip the horse to let the horse walk slowly.

I went to buy salt first, and when I arrived at the salt shop, I asked the price. Now a jar of salt costs twelve yuan. "Didn't you still pay ten yuan for a jar a few days ago?" Liu Xiaodong asked.

The shopkeeper explained, "Now the northwest is in chaos, and the salt is not being delivered well, so the price has naturally gone up."

"The northwest is so far away, why does it have anything to do with the price of salt?" Liu Xiaodong was curious.

"You don't know that. The salt we eat is basically dug out in the northwest, so now that the northwest is in turmoil, the price is expensive."

Liu Xiaodong thought to himself, this place is so far away from the northwest, so it can still be affected, let alone what the situation in the northwest is like. Thinking of this, Liu Xiaodong remembered that Uncle Zhang's family came, and he didn't know that Uncle Zhang's son would go back eventually. Did they, and did their family listen to her advice and leave the Northwest.

"Ten cans first." Liu Xiaodong said, anyway, the salt won't be bad, and according to what the shopkeeper said just now, the salt will definitely become more and more expensive in the future.

The shopkeeper helped Liu Xiaodong pack ten jars of salt, "A total of 120 Wen."

Liu Xiaodong paid the money, and Xiang Qin moved the salt to the carriage, helped Liu Xiaodong into the carriage, and went on to buy rice noodles and cloth.

There is a cloth shop not far from the salt shop. Liu Xiaodong asked Xiang Qin to stop the car and go in to pick the cloth. Xiang Qin didn't go in. There was no stake outside the cloth shop to tie the carriage, so he had to watch the horses outside. , or the horse should run away by itself.

Liu Xiaodong went into the cloth shop, looked around, and bought a total of four bolts of cloth, one pink with a peach blossom pattern, one navy blue with dark blue dark lines, one light yellow, and one emerald green. .

Liu Xiaodong has already figured it out, each of the pink and light yellow can make two or three pieces of clothes, this blue one is wider than the other cloths, so it should be able to make three or four pieces of cloth, but one for Liu Shi, The rest belonged to Xiang Qin.There is also the green one, and there are two pieces for Tian Shi to sit on.

In this way, everyone got new clothes, Liu Xiaodong paid the silver, and then the shopkeeper asked the shop assistants to help Liu Xiaodong move to the carriage outside.

Xiang Qin saw that Liu Xiaodong had bought so much cloth, "Why did you buy so much cloth?"

"Buy more, and I'll make a few more clothes when I go back, so that we have enough clothes to change. I'll make some more for my father and my mother."

"Making so many clothes hurts your eyes carefully. My clothes are enough to wear. If you think it's not enough, you can just buy it. Why do you go to such trouble to make it yourself?"

Liu Xiaodong asked the buddy of the cloth shop to put all the cloth on the carriage, and then said to Xiang Qin, "It's not to mention that buying ready-made clothes is expensive, and it's not as comfortable as making it yourself. It doesn't take much trouble. It's not something you wear in a hurry. I'll do it slowly."

Xiang Qin's original intention was not to make Liu Xiaodong so tired, but seeing what Liu Xiaodong said, he stopped talking.

The cloth was also bought, and only the rice and noodles were left. Xiang Qin drove the carriage to the grain shop and bought two bags of rice and two bags of flour.

Adding up all the things that have been bought, the carriage is full, and there is no place for Liu Xiaodong to sit inside, so he simply sits on the outer edge of the carriage just like Xiang Qin.

Xiang Qin told Liu Xiaodong to sit down, and then slapped the horse. The horse started to trot, and a gust of wind passed through Liu Xiaodong's clothes. Liu Xiaodong felt that sitting outside was much cooler than sitting inside the carriage. .

Xiang Qin and Liu Xiaodong returned to the place they had agreed with the village chief, who was already waiting there.

"Uncle Liu, I'm sorry, it's such a hot day to make you wait here for us." After Xiang Qin stopped the carriage, Liu Xiaodong got out of the carriage and walked to the village chief.

Hearing the voice, the village head looked back at Liu Xiaodong, and then saw Xiang Qin who was holding the reins of the carriage behind Liu Xiaodong, "It's okay, I just arrived too, is this the carriage you bought?"

"Well, take a look, is it okay?"

The village chief walked over and walked around the carriage, "It's really good. The carriage you bought is the first one in our village. Isn't this carriage cheap?" After looking at the carriage, the village chief looked at Liu Xiaodong.

Liu Xiaodong couldn't help telling the village chief the price of the carriage, "Fortunately, it's not too expensive."

The village head knew that Liu Xiaodong didn't want to talk about it, so he didn't force it, but this carriage is really big and beautiful, "Have you bought everything?"

"Well. It's all in the carriage."

The village head also sat in his donkey cart, "Then let's go back."

The foot strength of the carriage was faster than that of the donkey cart, so Xiang Qin controlled the speed of the carriage and let the carriage go slowly so that the village head's donkey cart could keep up.

After walking for an hour and a half, they returned to Taohua Village. Most of the people were still working in the fields, and there were no people outside, but a few people saw Xiang Qin and Liu Xiaodong driving back in a carriage. At first they thought it was Liu Xiaodong and Xiang Qin. It was inconvenient to bring back the things I bought, so I found a carriage to pull them back. After all, Liu Xiaodong and Xiang Qin also came back in a carriage when they came back from the northwest.

Everyone has seen it once before, so they are not too surprised this time.

Liu Xiaodong and Xiang Qin drove home in the carriage, first unloaded all the things on the carriage, and then Liu Xiaodong took three jars of salt to Liu's house.

I ran into a few villagers on the road, and when they saw Liu Xiaodong, they all greeted Liu Xiaodong enthusiastically, "Mother Dong, are you going to your mother's house?"

"Well, go back and see my mother."

After Liu Xiaodong left, he heard someone say, "Look at them, they rent a carriage every time they come back from the town. The carriage looks comfortable. When do you think I can ride in a carriage?"

Liu Xiaodong laughed secretly, so they all thought that the carriage was rented by her, no wonder no one was surprised when they saw them driving back in the carriage today.
