Chapter 311: Shopping
"Boss, give me ten catties of dates, and five catties of dried peaches......"
"Come on!" the pastry shop owner pulled a long tone, and weighed his hands and feet quickly: "Girl, do you want anything else......?"
After talking for a long time, Liu Qingxi didn't respond, and the boss didn't feel embarrassed: "Girl, what's the use of buying so many candied fruits?"
To be honest, few people buy so much at one time, after all, the store is here, just buy fresh when you want, and this kind of thing will not be like fruits and grains, and the price changes frequently. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Make some pastries, there are a lot of people in the family!" In fact, the real reason is that Liu Qingxi wants to give the people in the construction team some rewards within their ability.
The people in the village are used to hard life, and it is good to have some meat and fish during the New Year, and you can eat whatever you want.
Even if life is good now, there are few mooncakes made alone, and after thinking about it, there are so many people in the village, and dozens of households are working with them, and there are thousands of them for one person.
"Boss, let's have more of these dried dates, ten catties of each, and twenty catties of dates. "Make a temporary decision, Liu Qingxi immediately increased the number.
The boss suddenly smiled, and no one would dislike the guests to buy too much.
"Walnuts, melon seeds, almonds, I hope to come to ten catties!"
Liu Qingxi's slender and plain white hand waved, and dozens of catties of dried fruit candied fruit were not blind.
"Boss, buy so many things from you, it's cheaper!"
The boss's smile was blind: "Girl, don't worry, I will definitely give you the cheapest little old man." ”
In other words, everyone understands that such a big customer must grasp it well: "One more person to help, and give this girl a smile." ”
A little girl took three steps and made two steps, and ran out from behind: "Dad, this girl has bought so much, have you finished eating?"
This boss can't wait to slap his girl twice, where is there a disgusting guest who buys more?
Liu Qingxi likes this little girl's straightforward personality very much.
In two quarters of an hour, the father and daughter finally weighed what Liu Qingxi wanted.
After that, he took out the black smooth abacus from behind the counter, crackled and flew ten fingers, and in a moment, he calculated the final number: "This girl, a total of eighteen taels and six dollars, the odds are erased, how about charging you eighteen taels?"
Liu Qingxi nodded, six hundred wen is not too little, and the boss gave a real price.
After paying the money and carrying the things into the carriage, Liu Qingxi did not end the battle, and went to buy rice and noodles, sugar, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, and at the same time went to the pharmacy to buy some spices, and today's things were finished.
But this is not the end, Liu Qingxi returned to the village and went straight to Zhang Sanjia, who could do carpenter work: "Uncle Zhang, I heard that you can do carpenter work." ”
Zhang San is a man in his forties, his beard is scruffy and looks very sloppy, but he is said to be a very good person, only to see his messy beard move: "I can only be simple, what is Miss Liu going to do?"
When he said it, Zhang San was a little ashamed, he was inexplicably driven back by the master after learning halfway through the carpenter's learning, so he could only make some simple small benches and chairs for so many years, and as for the complexity that was too complicated, he didn't dare to do it at all and couldn't do it.
As for Liu Qingxi, it was a big man who knew everything from an eighty-year-old man to a two-year-old child, and since she had a request, he naturally tried his best to meet it.
"Third Uncle Zhang, don't worry, it's very simple, I just want to ask you to make a few molds, which are about this big. Liu Qingxi gestured with both hands, about six or seven centimeters of disc: "Cut it into a finger and a half high, it is best to engrave some patterns inside, this is some ...... I simply draw"
The drawings that Liu Qingxi took out were the simplest, one was the word Fu, and the others had simple drawings of rich peonies, as well as sunflower colors surrounded by petals, and orchids outlined in a few simple strokes......
Because they are all stick figures, it is not complicated, after a few glances, Zhang San nodded: "These are not difficult, I can do them, when do you want them?"
"Third Uncle Zhang, make me three of one, and I'll give you a salary and three pennies. ”
Who knew that he hurriedly waved his hand: "What kind of money to give, a moment of hard work, a hand-in-hand matter, if it weren't for you, my eldest son and second son would not have such a good job, so I should thank you." ”
Speaking of this, Zhang San couldn't help but sigh, if it weren't for his poor health and physical strength to keep up, building a house with Liu Qingxi would be a beautiful thing, and a person's monthly income would be almost enough for a large family to spend.
Fortunately, the two sons competed for anger and were selected by Liu Qingxi to stay, which is also good, he is very satisfied.
Thinking of this, there was a smile on the unshaven face that others couldn't see, and only the slightly trembling beard could make people feel his happiness clearly enough.
It seems that only in this way can he find his sense of existence and the value of existence, instead of not being able to do nothing and just waiting to eat.
"Third Uncle Zhang, I can't let you work in vain, you can help me make these molds first, and then I will come to you if it is not enough." ”
"Don't worry, I'll definitely make you beautiful. ”
In the next time, Liu Qingxi was busy looking for manpower, so many moon cakes, just relying on a few people in the family are huge projects, except for the one or twenty women who are responsible for cooking in the construction team, there are still many people left in the village.
First, I found a few familiar women, and they brought a few more: "Qingxi girl, you do so much?"
"It's not, we had a hard time in previous years, but this year it's much better, so I want to make some mooncakes and try them. ”
Speaking of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Liu Qingxi recalled the past year, in the past year, it can be said that from waking up to the present, a little more than a year, most of the front are struggling, all living on the edge of the hunger line.
After the Chinese New Year, I had the job of building a house, and my life was getting better and better, but as a result, a huge earthquake directly destroyed everything, and also wiped out people's efforts for many years, and now it is equivalent to starting over.
Therefore, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the festival of reunion, must reflect the new atmosphere and new goals.
When a few women who came to help heard this, they were stunned for a while, and then their hearts bloomed with joy: "Qingxi, this girl is really generous, there are so many people in the village, if everyone has it, what a big expense, what a big spend......
But think about it again, there will be their own share, and the women are more nimble.
"Auntie, let's remove the core of this dried fruit first, only the pulp remains, let's make moon cakes with fruit filling, five kernels, and dried fruit filling, and then make some salty ......" Liu Qingxi thought about this different taste, and his saliva flowed.
As for the women who helped?
