Chapter 8: Luck

The mountains and forests are empty, the birds and insects are singing very clearly, and Jinxiu lay down for a while and suddenly found that there was a sound missing: the sound of Jinyu chopping wood!

She quickly got up and looked around, but there was no Jinyu figure in her eyes.

"Jinyu! Jinyu! Sister, where are you! ”

Don't let the wolf go, right? In this era, the grass and trees on the mountain are deep, the woods are dense, and you can enter the forest boundary by walking a few steps up the mountain, and there may be tigers and wolves on any mountain!

Splendid was in a hurry, clasped his hands around his mouth and shouted in all directions:

"Jinyu! Younger sister! ”

There was a gray thing in the grass, and even though Jinxiu could punch and kick, the sudden accident still scared her into screaming!

The gray thing was obviously a living thing, and the scream of the splendid was so harsh, that the living creature jumped and jumped into the grass, and ran forward quickly, and suddenly heard the sound of Peng from the place where it had disappeared, and Jinxiu hurriedly ran over, and picked up the grass to see—wow! What a fat gray bunny!

The gray rabbit has fainted, and it was it that knocked itself into the stump and fainted!

It is certain that it was frightened by the scream of Jinxiu, and as a result, it hit the tree in a panic!

Jinxiu picked up the gray rabbit, it felt so heavy, at least seven or eight pounds!

I couldn't help crying with joy: God, would it be nice to give more benefits like this?

The legendary Bunny! It turns out that the allusions are not made up randomly, but they are real things in life!

Carrying the gray rabbit back to the place covered with firewood and grass, he sat and guarded the ...... Feng Jinyu!

The rabbits dare to run out and hang out in broad daylight, the tiger wolf or something should be napping, no matter where Jinyu goes, this place has her old sister and chopped firewood and grass, she will definitely come back!

Sure enough, after a while, I heard a voice from the forest in the upper left, "Sister! Sister! Shouts.

Jinyu crawled back with a roll, her clothes were torn in a few places, and there were fine marks on the back of her wrists and hands from blades of grass, but she had a bright smile on her face, and she held a chicken in her arms!

It was a chicken, for sure, but the chicken was also so beautiful, with colorful and bright feathers all over its body, and a few long beautiful ...... on its tail Hairy?

Maybe it's wrong, but it doesn't matter, Jinxiu was surprised and delighted, picked up the gray rabbit and walked to meet his sister:

"Jinyu, did you catch a pheasant? It's so capable! ”

Jinyu also saw the big gray rabbit in Jinxiu's hand, and was overjoyed: "Sister, you are much more capable than me!" You've caught such a big rabbit! ”

Splendid: "......"

I didn't catch it, it knocked me out on its own!

She selfishly didn't explain much, and it wouldn't be bad to let her sister worship it!

The sisters discussed how to bring home the two unexpected game.

Jinyu said: "Sister, there are two of the four chickens that my aunt gave my mother to make up for her body have not been killed, this pheasant will lose weight if she raises it, if it doesn't eat, it will die, and the rabbit is so big that we can't eat a few of them, so let's sell it for money first, keep the money, and then buy whatever my mother wants to eat!" ”

Jinxiu nodded: "That's right, I think so too." It's noon, so let's go down the mountain, and don't go home, just take it to town - even if it's game, people like it fresh! Sell it while it's fresh, and you can get a few extra bucks! ”

Jinyu agreed, so the two sisters hid the firewood knife, each held the harvested prey, found a way down the mountain, and then went straight to Fangshi Town.

It took an hour to hurry to the town, this time Jinxiu is not so tired, and can keep up with Jinyu's footsteps, it is estimated that he has eaten white noodles in recent days, and there is chicken soup and chicken to nourish his physique.

Before they reached the market, the sisters were surrounded by people on the street.

After inquiring that the wild thing they were holding had just been caught from the mountains, and seeing that Jinyu's clothes had been torn a few times, it was indeed true, someone wanted to buy their hares and pheasants.

Jinxiu doesn't understand the market price, but Jinyu knows that there are often young and middle-aged men in the village who go into the mountains to hunt, and the Feng family used to have Feng Gui who often sold wild things, so Jinyu can bargain with people when he opens his mouth, and Jinxiu listens to it and learns humbly.

In the end, the hare was sold for twenty-five pounds and one catty, eight pounds and two taels, and the whole number was counted as two hundred dollars.

The pheasant was bought by a rich young master because of his beautiful and bright feathers, he didn't ask the price, and directly asked the little guy who followed him to pay, and the little guy was estimated to be as big as his master, and directly took out a string of five hundred Wen and gave it to Jinyu.

Jinyu felt that today's luck was simply too good, and her hand holding the money trembled a little: "Sister! No matter how beautiful the pheasant is peeled, it's just like that, it's only one or two pounds, and it's just a small pot of soup! On weekdays, people sell it for a maximum of 100 yuan, but I actually got 500 yuan! ”

Jinxiu wanted to give her a look: Don't you spoil the scenery, okay? What does it mean to be "just like that when you are beautiful and peel your hair", and a pot of soup? This is to insult the appreciation ability and taste of the rich young master!

Hurriedly pulled my sister away, couldn't help but say, pulled her into the cloth shop, there was no ready-to-wear store in this era, so I bought cloth, burlap ten wen a foot, fine linen twelve wen a foot, wicker moire water pattern sixteen wen a foot, coarse cotton twenty-five wen a foot!

Splendid rough calculation, cotton and patterned linen for the time being, twelve fine linen, to make a set of tops and culottes costs seventy-two Wen, two sets of one hundred and forty-four Wen, and the boss lady bargained, cut off the mantissa number, and finally Jinxiu is in charge, a family of four each pulls two cloths!

Just released more than 500 texts at once, which scared Jinyu's face pale!

I went to the sewing shop next door to buy needlework and head ropes, and Jinxiu picked out a few brightly colored ribbons for Jinyun, and I had to help the little girl tie a fancy centipede braid in her spare time, so that she could stink and be beautiful, and she could also show off in front of the little girls in the village to make people blush!

Then I went to the opposite shoe store and bought four pairs of cotton shoes with mille-feuille soles, and another guy delivered them for more than 100 yuan, and Jinyu's face turned blue.

Walking out of the shoe store, Jin Yu remembered to speak: "Sister, what are we going to do with new clothes and shoes?" ”

Jinxiu asked, "Have you ever had new clothes and shoes?" ”

Jinyu shook her head: "I don't remember when I was a child, I just remember that sister, you had one or two new clothes, and then there were no more!" All three of us sisters wear old clothes and old shoes from our aunts! Even the mother is wearing old clothes of milk and aunt and second aunt! ”

"That's it! Good luck is always attached to new things, new clothes, new shoes, new hats, why do rich people have to change them every year? I just want to try my luck and have a lot of luck! They just wear new clothes, and the tattered old things they used are stained with their musty smell, but they are thrown for us to wear, so our mother and daughter's luck has been so low! Do you understand? ”

Jinyu gritted her teeth and nodded again and again: "I understand!" No more of their old clothes! ”

Jinxiu further educated: "In the future, as long as there are conditions, try not to wear other people's old clothes if you can!" Remember? ”

"Remember!" Jinyu continued to nod, his face gradually returned to his original state, touched the big burden on his arm, and showed a sweet smile: "Sister, then we will have new clothes to wear soon?" ”

"Of course! If it weren't for the cost of saving those tailors, I would have left it to the cloth shop to make it for us, and we could get new clothes in two days! ”

"The money for making clothes in the cloth shop is not low, but we still do it ourselves! Sister, you don't like to do needlework, I can do it, my stitches are very fine! Everyone in the village asked Aunt Liu to help cut clothes, and we also asked Aunt Liu, Aunt Liu didn't need to be paid, just cut off the rags! ”

Jinxiu studied clothing design for a period of time in her previous life, and there was a sister in high school who was addicted to ancient costumes and Hanfu in the neighborhood, and came to her all day to design patterns and cut them, and made several sets of complicated and gorgeous Hanfu, and now it is not a problem to cut these simple styles of ancient costumes, Jinxiu said to Jinyu:

"I've seen Aunt Liu's tailoring before, just now you also heard me ask the boss a lot of words, the boss lady also showed me a few booklets, which teach how to cut clothes, I am literate, easy to learn, I will cut it myself when I go home, and then you will sew!"

"Okay!" Jinyu was very happy.

Jinxiu is also very satisfied, saying that there are two sisters who have no doubt and completely trust their sister, which is really comforting!

walked into the noodle shop with Jinyu and asked for two bowls of somen noodles - Jinxiu wanted to eat some meat, but the bowls of the diners sitting in the store were full of somen noodles, and the proprietress didn't ask and served two bowls of hot somen noodles to the sisters directly, so it had to be like this!

Poor children wearing linen clothes, especially those like Jinyu who have a few holes on their bodies, even if they can afford to eat some meat, they are afraid that they will be shaken their heads and blamed by the adults in the store who are also poor people, saying that they are ignorant and do not know how to be thrifty!

After eating noodles and walking out, a few steps to the town is quite famous dim sum shop, called passion pastry shop, Jinxiu just stopped to look at the various pastries placed in the container a few times, did not buy, the aunt at home gave the dim sum, and there is no money in the pocket!
