Chapter 37 Procurement (1)
She also saw it on the Internet, saying that China had toothbrushes more than 1,000 years ago, and although there was no toothpaste, there was also tooth powder. I haven't seen it a few times, and I thought there was no one in this Daye Dynasty. I didn't expect her to see it today, and she said that she would buy one per person back.
"How much does a toothbrush cost?" Li Ziyu asked with some excitement.
The shopkeeper laughed and said: "The little girl is very discerning, this is my new goods, and you are the first buyer." In this way, I will give you a purchase price of fifteen yuan, and I will sell it for twenty yuan. How much do you buy? ”
"Get me six, uh, seven." It turned out that it was not as expensive as she imagined, Li Ziyu remembered the patient who lived at home, and she didn't know when to leave, so she would buy more.
The shopkeeper Fu took seven toothbrushes and five soap corners, and asked Li Ziyu what else to buy.
"How do you sell tooth powder?" Li Ziyu asked. She was thinking that since she had bought a toothbrush, she would have to match it.
"A jar of tooth powder costs 200 wen." The shopkeeper replied, and turned to grab a coarse porcelain jar from the shelf.
Li Ziyu looked at the coarse porcelain jar, stretched out her hand and hugged it, it was only two catties. Just say I want a can. Remembering that there were not many candles at home, I bought two more packs. A pack of ten candles, two packs of candles in two houses will be used for ten days.
The shopkeeper Fu calculated the general ledger, seven toothbrushes fifteen wen one hundred and five wen, five soap horns forty wen and one whole two hundred wen, one can of tooth powder two hundred wen, two packs of candles twenty wen and one pack of forty wen, a total of five hundred and forty-five wen.
Li Ziyu happily paid the bill and walked out of the grocery store in her hometown.
Li Ziyu, who came out, suddenly saw the coachman squinting his eyes as if he was looking at something, and when she wanted to look again, her expression returned to his expressionlessness.
Li Ziyu got into the car and commanded the driver with facial paralysis to go to Jixiangbuzhuang.
There are a few women in the auspicious cloth village who are looking at the fabric, and the young man is making clever recommendations. Sister-in-law Xiang, who was standing on the other side, saw Li Ziyu come in, and walked over with a smile on her face.
"Little girl, what to buy today?"
Li Ziyu looked at Sister-in-law Xiang and said, "Sister-in-law Xiang, I want to buy a fabric for underwear, which is softer." ”
Sister-in-law Xiang turned around and brought her a piece of fabric and put it on the counter: "How about this?" ”
The cloth that Xiang's sister-in-law took was milky white mixed with small pink flowers, giving people a clear and bright feeling.
Li Ziyu touched it with her hand, the fabric was not only strong but also quite soft, and it was comfortable to touch. Thinking about the six people in the family, I don't know how much to buy. I asked my sister-in-law: "Is such a piece of cloth enough for adults to make underwear?" ”
Sister-in-law Xiang nodded affirmatively: "It's enough, even a tall man, and a piece of cloth is enough." ”
Li Ziyu had a number in her heart, and planned to buy twelve such cloths. The excess fabric will be used for socks later.
"How much is a horse?" Li Ziyu asked.
"This one is a little more expensive, it costs 800 wen." Sister-in-law Xiang said a little embarrassed. She knew that this little girl was in a difficult family, and she could tell from the clothes she was wearing.
Li Ziyu felt that her back molars were a little painful, which was too expensive. After thinking about it, he made up his mind and said, "Get me twelve." ”
When Sister-in-law Xiang heard this, she turned around with a smile and took the cloth.
Li Ziyu thought about it, the younger brothers and sisters had to make a pair of cotton shoes to wear for the New Year, and after the New Year, they had to make a pair of clip shoes each, and they had to use a lot of cloth. I told Xiang's sister-in-law that she wanted two bags of rags and two bags of broken cotton, and Xiang's sister-in-law naturally agreed.
Xiang's sister-in-law calculated the accounts of twelve pieces of cloth, two bags of rags, and two bags of broken cotton, and one of the twelve pieces of cloth was nine hundred and six hundred wen, two bags of rags were five wen and one pack of ten wen, and two bags of broken cotton were fifteen wen and one catty, a total of thirty wen, a total of nine two six hundred and forty wen.
After Li Ziyu paid the silver, she took out the puppet from her arms and handed it to Sister-in-law Xiang: "Sister-in-law Xiang, look, this is what I made out of rags." This one is a little small, if you can sell it for me here, I will make it more delicate and bigger. After speaking, he looked at Sister-in-law Xiang with some apprehension.
Sister-in-law Xiang took the puppet in her hand and looked at it in surprise, this puppet looked really special, and she had never seen it before. But she thought about it for a moment and said, "You look really good as a puppet." But as you know, I'm here to sell cloth, and all the women who come here, and sometimes some girls and ladies, and I don't dare to say whether I can sell them. ”
Li Ziyu nodded understandingly: "I know, sister-in-law Xiang." In this way, I will put these two puppets here first, and no matter how much they sell, I will give you a share of 20%. I'll come back in two days, and if I can really sell it, I'll deliver it in large quantities. The appearance, workmanship, and size will be better than this, what do you think? ”
When Sister-in-law Xiang heard that there was a two-percent share, it was not very troublesome, and she just had to take one more bite when selling cloth by herself, so she agreed.
Li Ziyu asked Xiang's sister-in-law to pack the fabric, rag heads, and broken cotton she bought in an oilcloth bag, but Xiang's sister-in-law didn't ask for money for the oilcloth bag, so it was given to her for nothing.
Li Ziyu hugged the fabric, rag head and broken cotton she bought, happily bid farewell to her sister-in-law, and got into the carriage. Subsequently, the carriage turned into Xingtan Road in East Lane, where there was a famous bookstore, Songyun Pavilion.
Li Ziyu wants to go to the bookstore today to buy some pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and then buy some regular enlightenment books. If the younger siblings in the family want to be formally enlightened, they must learn the formal enlightenment books at the beginning, and they will be able to catch up with the progress when they enter the private school in the future, and they will not do useless work.
Songyun Pavilion is located in the north of Xingtan Road, which is a small bookstore, but it is famous for its complete bibliography.
When Li Ziyu got out of the car, he saw many people wearing robes and Confucian scarves and scholars coming in and out at the entrance of Songyun Pavilion.
Li Ziyu walked into the Songyun Pavilion and saw that there were three open bright rooms inside, with high bookshelves on the east, west, and north walls and the open space in the middle, and various books were placed on the shelves. There was a table and a chair at the door, and a middle-aged man in his forties sat on the chair, constantly counting the accounts. In front of the table, several scholars were waiting to settle accounts with a few books.
Seeing Li Ziyu come in, several scholars glanced at each other in surprise, but none of them spoke.
In the bookstore, there are several young men dressed as students looking for books separately, and there are also several scholars reading books quietly.
Li Ziyu avoided them and circled the shelves looking for the books she needed. It was found that the Analects, Mencius, Daxue, and Zhongyong, which are known as the Four Books, and the Five Classics, including the Book of Songs, the Book of Rites, the Book of Rites, the Zhou Yi, and the Spring and Autumn Period, are all quite complete. In addition to buying enlightenment books for her younger siblings, she also wants to buy a book on travelogues and historiography. The main thing is to understand the development history of this Daye Dynasty, what dynasty was before the Daye Dynasty, and why there was this Daye Dynasty.
On the bookshelf, Li Ziyu found the [Three Character Classic], [Hundred Family Names], [Thousand Character Text], and also found a travelogue called [Naturalist Guangzhi], but this [Naturalist Guangzhi] was on the top of the bookshelf, and she was too short to reach. She stretched out her arm a few times, and it was just a little bit off. As soon as she wanted to call the bookstore manager, she saw a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy next to her take down the book she wanted and hand it to her.
Li Ziyu saw that it was a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he was handsome, so he hurriedly bowed down and thanked him: "Thank you, son!" ”
"You're welcome!" The young man smiled at Li Ziyu and stepped aside.
In the bookstore, there are two bookshelves with pen, ink, paper and inkstones, which are divided into upper, middle and lower grades, and the prices are also different.
Li Ziyu took two pieces of rice paper, two medium-sized brushes, four medium-grade brushes, a medium-sized inkstone, a medium-sized inkstone, and a selected book, and came to the door to settle the bill.
The middle-aged shopkeeper crackled and dialed an abacus and reported the number: "[Sanzijing] one tael of silver, [hundred family names] one tael of silver, [thousand character text] is one or two halves of silver, two knives of rice paper two hundred wen, two medium brushes one tael of silver, four poor brushes of eight hundred wen, one medium inkstone two taels of silver, one medium ink one tael of silver, a total of eight taels of five hundred wen." ”
Li Ziyu inhaled when she heard this, thanks to the amount of money she brought with her when she came, she also had a little broken silver on her body, or it was really not enough.
Li Ziyu paid the bill and walked out of the bookstore with a depressed expression.
No matter which dynasty or generation, studying is really a matter of burning money. It seems that earning money is a must, and the more the better. But with this ability, I really can't think of a way to make money. I hope that the hot pot city can be opened, not to mention how prosperous it is, as long as it can be used for the younger brothers to go to school. With three hundred taels at home, she plans to buy some land next year. A family of six people has one acre of land, isn't it a joke? No matter what, she has to buy a few acres of land to feed her stomach, which is the most basic living condition, and she must ensure it.
When the driver with facial paralysis saw Li Ziyu coming out, he stepped forward and took the book in Li Ziyu's hand and put it in the car. Li Ziyu got into the car and said to the coachman: "Uncle coachman, South Gate Vegetable Market." ”
The coachman didn't say a word, the whip sounded in the air, and the car drove out of Xingtan Road and headed straight for the south gate.
When she arrived near the South Gate, Li Ziyu asked the driver to park in an open area, which is where parking fees are charged.
Li Ziyu got out of the car, untied the bamboo basket from the car, and went to the vegetable market by herself. The things she bought this time were very buried, she planned to put them in a bamboo basket and tie them out of the car as usual, she didn't want to dirty other people's cars.
The vegetable market is still lively and lively, and the various stalls are almost full of people.
She went to the meat stall first, and in front of the rough-looking man's stall, Li Ziyu bought five catties of lard.
The lard I bought last time was almost finished, and Li Ziyu put a lot of it every time she stir-fried. Her main consideration is that her younger siblings are growing up, and she wants to slowly adjust the bodies of her younger siblings. In ancient times, the body was important. The main reason is that ancient medicines were very expensive, and ordinary people could not afford to eat them.
After Li Ziyu bought five catties of lard, she bought a pair of pig water and four big stick bones. I didn't buy lean meat this time, and there are still a lot of venison and pheasant meat at home, so I don't need to buy lean meat. What satisfied Li Ziyu was that the pig was in the water, and this pig was red and white, that is, the intestines, stomach, heart, liver, and lungs were complete, and it took twenty wen.
Five catties of lard cost seventy-five wen, and the big stick bone didn't cost anything, it was the butcher who gave it to her, and it only cost ninety-five wen in total.
