Chapter 16: Xiangshui Town (4)
By the time the ox cart swayed to the town, it was already dawn. Uncle Yang's driving skills www.biquge.info are good, and the road surface is relatively smooth, and there are no potholes, so there is no bumpy feeling on the road, but after sitting for a long time, the body is a little uncomfortable.
When he arrived at the place, the big guy got off the car, and made an appointment to take the ox cart back to the time and place, and Uncle Yang drove the ox cart to the dock. In fact, this is still some distance from the street, but it is not convenient for the ox cart to get to the street, and this is not too far from the main street, so everyone generally chooses to meet here.
When everyone went to the street together, they left in groups, after all, everyone had to do different things when they came to the town. However, Miao Miao has made up her mind today, and she is next to the two gods of Qiuyue and An Niang.
The ancient market was very lively, and the things sold were also dazzling, no worse than the modern department stores. Miao Miao despised herself a little, how could she be like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden?
Maybe Miao Miao's curiosity was too strong, and even Qiu Yue felt it, only to see her say: "Chunmiao probably has forgotten what the town is like, let's go shopping first and take Chunmiao to get acquainted." ”
Originally, it was enough to trouble others to ask someone to take you to the town, and it would not be good to delay the time for yourself, so Miao Miao said: "No, you are doing business, wait for me to take a look at the town next time." ”
"It's okay, it's still early, and the embroidery village hasn't opened yet! It just so happens that I also have something to buy, let's go shopping first to see what good things are there, and then let's go to the embroidery village, okay? Qiu Yue said.
"It's best this way, and it doesn't waste time, and Chunmiao can also take a good look." An Niang echoed.
Since both of them said this, Miao Miao had no opinion, so the three of them slowed down and began to go shopping, although they only saw it and didn't buy it, but Miao Miao was still very happy.
was strolling, Qiu Yue reminded Miao Miao and said: "Chun Miao, don't just look at it, put away the money, there are still a lot of thieves on the street, if you don't put it away and it is stolen, you can't find it back if you cry." ”
Miao Miao was frightened and hurriedly tightened all the family property in her arms, one hundred and forty-two wen and two aunts Wang's ten wen, and told Qiu Yue that she would definitely pay attention.
The three of them walked around the street for a while, and Miao Miao also bought some things that the family needed, but the money on her body was only more than ninety yuan. It was not too early, and Qiuyue and the others took Miao Miao and walked towards Zhiyun Embroidery Village.
When I arrived at the embroidery village, there were a lot of people inside, and there were people lining up outside, An Niang said that these were all here to sell their embroidery, don't look at the queue is very long, in fact, you can leave after paying the embroidery and taking the money, so it will be their turn soon. So the three of them slowly followed the team forward, chatting and waiting, and soon it was Qiuyue's turn.
Qiuyue sold all the Luozi, some sold for three yuan, some sold for four Wen, a total of forty-six Luozi, a total of one hundred and fifty-four Wen. An Niang sells a little more expensive, in the end it is a technical job, but it is different. This time, An Niang brought three handkerchiefs, five purses, and the handkerchiefs were sold for sixty Wen, but the price of the purse was slightly different, one ordinary thirty-five Wen, three that looked better were given for fifty Wen, and one was sold for 80 Wen! Miao Miao's envious and adoring eyes immediately drifted to An Niang.
Xu is Miao Miao's eyes were too strong, An Niang also looked at Miao Miao, and said: "Don't look at how much money I get now, in fact, I don't make much money, I have to buy good fabrics for purses, otherwise I can't make money, I don't need money for needlework or anything, I have embroidered such a little thing in more than a month, not to mention hurting my eyes, sometimes it is not as good as Qiuyue to earn more." ”
Miao Miao thinks about it, who will buy a purse embroidered with ordinary fabric? The big families are good, and the ordinary people use less purses, after all, there is no money to put in them. The cost of this purse is high, it is not much money, this embroidery is really time-consuming, and it is indeed not profitable.
This ancient woman is really pitiful, even if there are few ways to make money, she can't earn money, isn't this not a way to live for the poor?
This Fang Qiuyue and An Niang settled the money, and took Miao Miao to the counter to buy the thread of the yarn, Qiuyue said before that a yarn can earn at least half a penny, but rural women have to do housework at home, and they can't play the yarn all day long, but even if they make a few yarns a day, they can still buy a few catties of meat to eat in a month. No matter how small an ant is, it is still meat, Miao Miao adheres to the principle of never letting go of any opportunity to make money, decisively "invests", and follows Qiuyue to learn art.
The three of them were choosing the color line together, and they saw a woman coming over, "Yo! Isn't this An Niang? Chunmiao and Qiuyue are also here, but I'm here today, I haven't seen you in a long time. ”
Miao Miao was confused, so she saw Qiu Yue and An Niang chatting with the woman who was talking just now, and I saw the woman saying to Miao Miao: "Why don't you see Chunmiao talking today?" But which guy in the store didn't greet him well? ”
Miao Miao waved her hand again and again, hurriedly saying no, and looked at Qiuyue and them for help. So Qiu Yue told her about Miao Miao's amnesia, and also introduced Miao Miao to this is the proprietress of this embroidery village - Zhiyun.
The proprietress came over and took Miao Miao's hand and said, "Fortunately, nothing big happened, God bless, Chunmiao, look at what you want to buy today, my sister will give you a little cheaper." ”
Miao Miao hurriedly thanked her. At this time, one of the guys in the shop came running and said that there was a guy who came to sell tricks, and asked her to come and have a look. The proprietress said a word and followed along.
"The proprietress looks quite kind!" Miao Miao sighed at Qiu Yue and An Niang.
"Isn't it! In our town, her family's business is the best, we all love to send the things we make to her house, and we will not take advantage of us, nor will we look down on us because we are croppers, sometimes we buy things, even if we don't buy much, it will be cheap, people are also kind, we all like her. Qiu Yue said.
Sure enough, it's a business, it's really exquisite, but when people just talk to themselves, they are also very sincere, their voices are gentle and soft, very good, and Miao Miao unconsciously fell into the charm of the boss's wife.
Miao Miao looked at the proprietress who was holding a paper at the counter and asked, "What kind of tricks did that guy say just now to let the proprietress see?" “
"There are people who can draw some tricks, they will show the patterns to the proprietress, if they think they look good, they will pay to buy it, and the price is high, but if this pattern has not been seen before, and after the pattern is sold to the proprietress, the family is not allowed to sell it to others, and they can no longer embroider it, otherwise they will lose money." An Niang replied.
"Oh, that's right!"
"What's the matter? Chunmiao, you also have tricks you want to sell? Qiu Yue asked.
"How can I draw tricks, you look down on me." That being said, Miao Miao's expression was thoughtful.
