Chapter 36 Re-entering the Provincial City
Er Ya put on the rabbit skin boots that she had finally made, and then put the fur coat on her body, trying to feel it, and this time she was more confident.
The second girl was dressed and ran directly to the eldest uncle's house, so that the eldest aunt and the second aunt could also see the effect. The two of them nodded again and again: "It's good-looking!" Is this just what kind of style did you say? ”
"This looks really different, this is obviously the same person, how can he wear such a dress, just like the master of the aristocratic family. Tut-tut! Amazing! "The second aunt kept pouting!
Erya spun around and said, "This is a person who relies on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, and tomorrow I will go to the provincial capital with Xiaohu to sell clothes." There are two days left for the New Year, I want to sell this, and there are still many places where the family needs money for the New Year. ”
The eldest aunt said with a guilty face: "Alas! Thank you for your hard work, if you hadn't come to our house, we wouldn't know if we would have been able to survive this year! ”
The second aunt also said: "Little tiger daughter-in-law, our family is really blessed by you." This leaf still doesn't know that she has such a good dowry, and I want to surprise her. If it weren't for the fact that you gave Zhang Luo so well, how would I have the confidence to surprise her now! It's almost as good as crying! ”
"Auntie. Second aunt, if you say that, you won't treat me as a family. Xiaohu and Xiaolong, you take care of them so well, you are not hungry, you are not freezing, your clothes and quilts are clean, and your home is tidy and tidy. You've been doing this for so long, why am I doing this? Not for anything else, just for Xiaohu Xiaolong, shouldn't I do this as a share! ”
The eldest aunt lifted up her clothes, wiped her eyes, and kept chanting: "Hey! Ay! It's just hard for you, since you came to our house, and now you haven't enjoyed a day of happiness, so you just worry about being tired. ”
"Don't say it again, I'm clumsy, you're not coming"
It was agreed that night to go to the provincial capital, and Laizi was making a fuss: "Sister-in-law, I'll go with you, and many people are also lively, isn't it?" ”
Uncle didn't let me: "Come on, you can't go with you, tomorrow you have to go to the mountain with me and your father, take a few pheasants and come back to eat on the 30th day, how many New Year's can still be guests." ”
"Oops! Uncle, the snow on the mountain has long melted, how can you still trap pheasants? ”
Erya said angrily: "Come on! I'll give each of you a crossbow, and you're using it as an ornament. Now that you've been practicing for more than three months, you should have some results, right? ”
Daman hurriedly answered: "Brother-in-law, don't worry about the children, we can all hit nine out of ten, and there is no problem to go up the mountain to hunt a few pheasants." ”
Then he said to his father: "Dad, you don't have to go with your second uncle, I'll just take them with me." ”
The uncle joked with a smile and said the opposite: "I'll go, I'm afraid that you will be too capable, and you will fight too much and you won't be able to bring it back." Your second uncle and I will help you drag it back! ”
Laizi put the bowl down, straightened his waist, and straightened his chest: "Uncle! You look down on people! I'll play as much tomorrow as I can, and I won't be able to drag it back if you and my dad go with me! Hum! Let you look down on people! ”
"Good! Then I'll call everyone in the Zhuangzi tomorrow! ”
Laizi was a little embarrassed, and pushed the eldest uncle's arm and shouted: "Eldest lady, look, the uncle is bullying!" ”
The eldest aunt was pushed by him so that she couldn't eat, "Ouch! Uncle is teasing you! Don't push the big lady, the rice is on your nose. ”
The second aunt stretched out her hand and slapped her son: "Why are you so careless!" Your uncle took you to play, you don't even know! ”
"Oh!" Honestly, while glancing at a few brothers out of the corner of his eyes, he pretended to be serious about cooking.
Erya saw that there was no food in his bowl, so he smiled and put a piece of salted duck in the bowl for him.
The next day, the young couple went to the county seat early and hired a car to go to the provincial capital. Because the town was so small, there wasn't even a carriage to hire.
Xiaohu also brought some willow mushrooms that had grown!
Erya looked at the willow mushrooms in the basket, and the size was just the time to pick.
"That fungus hasn't grown yet, huh? Is it just willow mushrooms? ”
Xiaohu also shook his head incomprehensibly: "I got it like that, I don't know why, this willow mushroom has grown a lot, and there are only a few bushes of that fungus." ”
Erya also said that she didn't understand, "Maybe it's because there's less mycelium, right?" You should just leave more fungus on it. ”
"The mycelium you're talking about, it's grown on fungus?"
"That's pretty much it! Anyway, after the fungus and mushrooms rot in the first year, a lot of fungus and mushrooms will grow in those rotten places in the second year. ”
Xiaohu nodded knowingly, "Oh! I see! It's no wonder that before my sisters got married, they often went to the small barren mountain next to us to pick mushrooms, and every year they would find a place where they had picked mushrooms in the first year! I don't understand, I'll just look around the hills, and in the end I'll pick the least! ”
After walking for a while, Xiaohu asked, "Then if I drill a hole in the wood and put the fungus inside, will I be okay?" ”
"Theoretically, yes, but you have to add some chicken manure, lime powder, cow dung, and grass ash to make fertilizer."
Xiaohu was surprised: "Why do you need so many things!" Will there be these in the mountains? ”
Er Ya said as a matter of course: "That's! The mountains are already self-fending, aren't you thinking about artificial cultivation now? Of course, more conditions are needed to urge it to grow! ”
"That! Then when I get back from the city, I'll figure it out! ”
The young couple hired a carriage from the county seat to the provincial capital and went straight to the city center. No matter what kind of distribution of rich and poor in a city, its center must be where the prosperity is.
Erya inquired, the most prosperous or the most concentrated place of shops is the City God Temple, followed by the four archways. Both are located in the center of the city, one north and one west, and are connected by a Mingjue Temple.
There are a lot of people coming and going in the City God Temple, probably the day after tomorrow is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and there are still many unprepared at home, so they are in a hurry to buy them in these two days. There are also people wandering around, but most of them are in a hurry.
When Erya saw this situation, she thought of the city of the 21st century, the high-paced pace of life, and finally a sense of urgency to live in it.
Living in a farmhouse with earthen walls and grass roofs for such a long time made her feel a kind of depression while relaxing. She likes to enjoy the high quality of living conditions, the clean environment, and the joy of being busy.
But in farm life, she only sees everyone's slackness, everyone's laziness, and everyone's decadence
Er Ya and Xiaohu's family of cloth and embroidery villages, but they didn't find a ready-to-wear store.
After looking for the City God Temple, I found the four archways, but there was really no way, so Erya had to ask again. It turns out that there are no ready-to-wear stores yet, and the normal ones are made on order. If you want to be in a hurry, people can also rush to make it. There are many people in the shop who have good craftsmanship, and in a short time, they can make a good dress, of course, it is an ordinary dress without embroidery.
Also, there are no fur coats sold in the entire provincial capital, and the rich families are specially hired to make zuò, or they are entrusted to buy them in the northern capital.
Hearing about this situation, Er Ya thought, it seems that she can only sell it by herself.
After thinking about the sales object and location, I took Xiaohu to Sipailou to look at the good business of Hongxiu Embroidery Village.
"Xiaohu, you take something and go in with me to have a look."
"No! I'll just stand outside and wait for you, it's full of women, I don't want to go in! ”
"That's fine!"
Erya was carrying a backpack made of coarse cloth, which contained a fur coat, bag and shoes, and as soon as she stood at the door, someone greeted her: "Hello little lady!" Please come inside! ”
Erya was welcomed into the store, and someone else immediately stepped forward to greet her.
"What does the little lady need, please come and see! We have both large and small pieces here, if you want to customize, we can too."
Er Ya hurriedly raised his hand to stop: "Please wait!" May I ask if your shopkeeper is there? ”
"You're looking for our shopkeeper? Do you know our shopkeeper? ”
Erya smiled and shook her head.
"And what's the matter with you? Tell me, and if you have to, I'll call it for you! Luckily? ”
"Okay!" Er Ya took the backpack to her hand from behind and asked, "Do you have any place to change clothes here?" ”
"Yes! Wait! Xiaomei, come and take this little lady into the back room to change clothes. ”
"Good Ratcha!"
Changed into an overcoat, put on half-heeled rabbitskin shoes, and put his hair up. With a black leather bag in her hand, she followed the dizzy Xiaomei out of the back room and stood in the open space in front of the counter.
Erya smiled and asked, "How is it?" I want your shopkeeper to help sell this thing, can you ask your shopkeeper to come out? ”
The shopkeeper, who was in a daze, nodded again and again.
"Yes! OK! Wait a minute! The shopkeeper ran to the backyard in a panic.
"Shopkeeper, come out quickly, there is a good thing!"
The shopkeeper asked unhurriedly, "What is a good thing that deserves your panic?" ”
The shopkeeper stepped forward, "There is a little lady in front of her, who came over with a fur coat and a strange thing in her hand, saying that she was looking for you to buy it." I look very good, it must be a good seller. ”
The shopkeeper came to the front hall unhurriedly and saw several customers watching a little lady in a fur coat.
"Ahem! The little lady is looking for a contemptible person! ”
Erya was made to laugh by this bite and chew the words, but she could only endure it and salute.
"The shopkeeper is good! I've designed two fur coats, two bags, and a pair of fur snow boots for you to sell. After all, you know a lot of rich and noble people. Er Ya walked a few steps gently, turned around again, raised his arm, and let the shopkeeper see the effect.
The shopkeeper was still touching his beard and thinking about it, and a brightly dressed woman in the onlookers asked, "Little lady, do you want to sell this fur coat?" What do you say? I bought it! ”
The shopkeeper was stunned, he was already optimistic about this rare fur coat, as well as the unique so-called bag, and the shoes were also weird, but what he was afraid of doing was not something he had never seen, it was precisely that fresh things had to appear constantly in order for business to flourish.
Although I have agreed to sell it in my heart, I am still thinking about how to support it so that I can make more profits.
But before he could think about what to say, someone already wanted to cut off the beard halfway, so how can it be done?!
