Chapter VII
Fu Qingwen heard the shallow words and looked over. I'm a little unsure, but I'm ready to go over and have a look.
"Is there anything wrong with you?" Kong Li saw two children standing at the door, and their clothes didn't look like they were going to buy something. But seeing that they were pitiful, I couldn't help but ask more.
"Boss, we want to ask if you want to collect hares?" Fu Qingwen saw that although the boss was not very willing to take care of himself, he did not immediately drive them away. With some gratitude in his heart, he asked cautiously.
"You have hares?" When Kong Li heard his words, his eyes changed and he was a little puzzled. How old can two children have a hare? He didn't believe it much, though the hare wasn't worth much. But looking at their emaciated appearance, it doesn't look like they can be caught. Could it be that it was good luck?
Fu Qingwen was not the slightest anxious about his doubts, but explained very calmly, saying, "We were very lucky, we happened to meet a rabbit, and we hit its foot with a stone, so we caught it." ”
"Then you can take it out and have a look." Since there really is, Kong Li naturally won't stop accepting it.
Fu Qingwen entered the store with Qianqian, took out the hare in the basket and handed it to the boss. Because it was only injured in the foot, the rabbit was still alive.
"It's fat!" Kong Li lifted the rabbit he handed over, and saw that only the leg was injured and did not affect the integrity of the fur. And when you mention it, you know that this rabbit is very heavy, and the coat color is also very good. "The hares I collect here are generally twenty wen a catty, your rabbit fur is good in color, and it is also very fat, I will give you twenty-one wen a catty, how about it?"
Fu Qingwen knew that the shopkeeper did not lie to himself and took care of himself, so he agreed without hesitation. This rabbit is about five or six pounds, and in this case, it will cost more than 100 yuan. Coupled with the wages I got back yesterday, I don't have to worry so much about food this winter.
Fu Qingwen carefully hid the one hundred and twenty-six money that the boss gave him, thanked the boss and left with Qianqian.
Fu Qingqian carefully covered the more than two hundred dollars in his pocket, his heart full of sadness and helplessness. More than 200 yuan is only one or two hundred yuan in modern terms, but now it has become their family's only wealth.
"Why are you still sad?" Fu Qingwen found that a shallow wrinkled face, and the rolling eyes didn't know what he was thinking.
Fu Qingqian hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, I'm thinking about what we need to buy back!" Second brother, what do you think we want to buy? Fu Qingqian looked at the second brother with excitement and curiosity, waiting for his answer.
Fu Qingwen saw Qianqian's expectant gaze, and suddenly felt that his image was as high as possible. A little excited and a little shy, he cleared his throat and said slowly, "First of all, we want to buy food, followed by some basic daily necessities, and finally, if I still have money, I will buy another piece of cloth for Qianqian to make clothes, okay?" ”
When Fu Qingqian heard the words of the second brother, his eyes immediately filled with tears.
"Okay, why are you crying?" Fu Qingwen saw the shallow crystal tears, and he was a little hurried to wipe her away, but he didn't dare to reach out. I can only stand by in a hurry, not knowing what to do.
Fu Qingqian saw the second brother's helpless appearance, and his tears turned into tearful laughter for a while. "I'm happy! Let's go! Bought something to go home! Fu Qingqian wiped his tears and pulled the second brother forward. Fortunately, he had already passed by those grocery stores when he came just now, and Fu Qingqian would not be unable to find a place.
Fu Qingqian took the second brother to a relatively large grocery store, and saw that everything was being sold inside. And after observing it, I felt that the guy should not be the kind of person who bullied and pulled the second brother in.
"What do you two want to buy?" The guy had just sent people away, and when he saw the two children coming, he didn't show any special performance, but asked with a habitual smile.
"We want to sell some rice and noodles." Fu Qingwen asked Qianqian to stand behind him, took a step forward and said to the buddy.
"Here, these are the rice and noodles that we just came to the store." When the man heard him, he smiled and led them to the other side where there were many meters and noodles.
Fu Qingqian followed behind the second brother and looked at the rice noodles on display. After looking at it carefully for a while, I found that these were divided into three, six, nine and so on. Thinking that the good ones must be very expensive, I had to shift my attention to the slightly inferior ones.
Naturally, the guy could see their conditions, and introduced them to the price with a smile. "This is the best brown rice we sell in our store, it only costs four cents a catty, white noodles cost nine dollars a catty, and black noodles are also four cents a catty."
Fu Qingqian heard the man's introduction and saw that the brown rice he said still seemed to have a layer of chaff on the outside. When I think that there are no rice mills at this time, it must be very expensive to think that kind of rice that is completely clean. Those who think of modern times just think of brown rice as a change of taste, but now it is the main food.
After hearing the price that the guy said, Fu Qingwen thought about the money on his body and finally decided to only sell brown rice and black noodles. These two hundred texts are to be used to persist this winter, so naturally they can't be wasted. He planned to buy twenty catties of brown rice and black noodles each, and he couldn't bring back too much. After buying grain, more than half of the money in his hand was gone. Fu Qingwen squeezed the remaining money in his hand tightly, and he didn't dare to buy anything else for a while.
"Second brother?" Fu Qingqian saw where the second brother stayed and didn't move, so he pulled his sleeve and looked at him suspiciously.
Fu Qingwen heard the shallow voice and quickly came back to his senses. With some sourness in my heart, I don't know how to open my mouth to the shallow. He just said that he was going to buy cloth for shallow to make clothes, but now he is going to regret it.
Fu Qingqian saw that there was something wrong with the second brother's expression, and looked at the second brother worriedly. "Second brother, what's wrong?"
"Qianqian, that," Fu Qingwen didn't know how to say to Qianqian, just hesitantly stood in front of her. "Shallow, our money. Probably, it may not be able to be used to buy you cloth. After speaking, Fu Qingwen didn't know whether he was afraid of shallow sadness or whether he felt that there was a heavy pressure in sadness.
When Fu Qingqian heard the second brother's hesitant words, he thought that something big had happened that he didn't know about. Now I understand that it's because I can't buy cloth, so the second brother is so entangled. Fu Qingqian showed a shallow smile, held the second brother's hand and said slowly, "Second brother, now our task is to survive this winter. Don't you still have old clothes from your mother and father at home? We can wear them with a slight change, and we don't need to buy cloth to make clothes! Fu Qingqian knew that the second brother felt that he had lost his trust, but the most important thing now should be to fill his stomach.
Fu Qingwen heard the shallow words and held her hand tightly. "Don't worry, the second brother will definitely buy the cloth he likes in the future, and make a lot of beautiful clothes." With such a sensible shallowness, Fu Qingwen felt that he was not afraid of no matter how hard he was.
"Then we're going to sell other things now, and we need to buy some salt, well, just buy salt." Fu Qingqian thought about what was still lacking at home, and found that there was nothing at home. It's just that now I can't buy anything, so I have to buy what I need most.
