Chapter 31: Small Plans

Out of the gate of Lujiazhuang, turn left, is a central street of Quanxiu Village, although it is rural, but this central street sells a relatively complete variety of things, variety, basic daily necessities can be found here. After walking for a while, Ye Xiaoyu saw the cloth shop in front of him.

Reaching out and touching the money in the pocket of his clothes, for fear of losing it, Ye Xiaoyu sewed a small pocket in each of his clothes to put jade pendants and money. In the past two months, she has barely spent herself, and she has only saved 30 yuan, which is about the same as the 30 yuan in Ye Xiaoyu's previous life, Ye Xiaoyu doesn't know how the ancient currency in her previous life was converted, but here, 1 wen is almost equal to 1 yuan in her previous life, but because the price is not too high, it is more useful than in her previous life.

The current savings are only 30 yuan, and I was a high-paid person with an annual salary of more than 200,000 yuan in my previous life. Thinking of this, Ye Xiaoyu was a little depressed.

Thinking about it, he walked to the door of the cloth shop.

The cloth shop is not big, but the fabric inside looks okay. Ye Xiaoyu decided to walk in and have a look.

"Little girl, what color of cloth are you going to buy?"

The boss is a middle-aged man, and he looks quite kind.

"I want to buy some cloth. Can I pick my own color? ”

Ye Xiaoyu raised her head and asked innocently.

"Of course, you can pick your favorite color."

The boss said with a smile.

Ye Xiaoyu chose to choose, and finally picked a pure white fabric with dark flowers, although the fabric in this store looks okay, but it doesn't feel particularly good, only this kind of white background and dark flowers, it feels like a high-end product.

"Boss, how do you sell this?"

Ye Xiaoyu asked with the cloth.

"Little girl, you are young, you have a really good eye, this kind of fabric is the best in my store, and the price will be more expensive."

The boss was shocked by Ye Xiaoyu's picky eyes.

"How much does that cost?"

Ye Xiaoyu continued to ask.

"This kind of foot costs 40 wen."

The boss looked at Ye Xiaoyu and said.

40 Wen? I'll take it, all my savings are only 30 yuan, Ye Xiaoyu was suddenly a little depressed.

"Boss, can it be cheaper?"

I had to be patient and bargain with the boss.

"Cheap? Little girl, I'm already very cheap here, and you haven't asked about the price of Aunt Lin at the head of the village, it's even more expensive. ”

"Boss, how many handkerchiefs can be made into one foot of this cloth?"

"Huh? Handkerchief? Oh, this foot of cloth can probably make more than 3 strips. ”

The cloth shop owner was obviously stunned by Ye Xiaoyu's sudden question.

"Oh, how much does the boss pay for this?"

Ye Xiaoyu pointed to the cloth next to him, which was also on a white background, and asked.

"This kind of one is cheaper, 20 wen per foot."

Yes? This kind of one also costs 20 articles? Ye Xiaoyu was a little frightened by the price of the cloth, and sure enough, Hong'er was right, it was amazingly expensive.

"Boss, let's do this, I want half a foot of each of these two kinds of cloth, you can just think it's cheaper, and sell it to me for 20 wen."

Ye Xiaoyu thought for a while and said simply.

"That's not good, little girl, half a foot of this good fabric costs 20 yuan."

The boss still insisted.

"But few people buy your poor fabrics, right? If you don't sell it to me, it's useless to stock it up in the store, and in the end it's not about selling it cheaply. And now that winter is coming, everyone is starting to wear cotton clothes, who wants to make cloth clothes......"

Ye Xiaoyu did not relent.

"That's true, but ......"

"Oh, boss, it's nothing, just do what I say, are you still fooled by a child?"

Seeing that the boss was loose, Ye Xiaoyu continued.

"Uh......"

"The owner...... You can give me a special price for a child. ”

"Okay, okay, for the sake of you being so clever, I sold it to you, and I lost a lot of money."

Under Ye Xiaoyu's soft grinding and hard bubbles, the boss finally relented and was willing to sell.

"Thank you boss, I know the boss is a good person."

Ye Xiaoyu smiled.

"Huh? Boss, do you want this cloth? ”

Ye Xiaoyu suddenly saw a strip of cloth about 20 centimeters long and 10 centimeters wide in the corner of the stall, so she asked the boss.

"Huh? Okay, I've got this for you too......"

Looking at Ye Xiaoyu's pitiful appearance, the boss said directly.

"Wow, I knew that the boss knew that he was a good person at a glance, boss, you will be rewarded for being so good."

Ye Xiaoyu was so happy.

"Okay, okay, there's nothing left, and that piece of cloth won't sell anyway."

was praised by Ye Xiaoyu all the time, and the boss was a little embarrassed.

"Thank you boss, I'll go first......"

Ye Xiaoyu gave the money, took the fabric, thanked the boss, and came out.

Although 20 Wen bought so much cloth may still be a little expensive compared to the cloth market in the capital, but looking at the results in his hands, Ye Xiaoyu is still a little happy, no matter what, the first step of his small plan can be regarded as a smooth completion.

When Ye Xiaoyu was buying cloth just now, she suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a complete set of sewing kits in her house, and there should be threads of various colors in it, which could save a small amount of money.

Thinking of this, Ye Xiaoyu unconsciously touched the pocket sewn in his clothes again, after buying the cloth, there were 10 yuan and a jade pendant in it, since the last time he accidentally left the jade pendant in the kitchen, Ye Xiaoyu has developed the habit of often touching the pocket to check if the jade pendant is there. As long as Yu Pei was there, Ye Xiaoyu felt very relieved.

There didn't seem to be anyone in Lujiazhuang, and Ye Xiaoyu quietly returned to his residence in Nanyuan.

"Miss, you're back......"

Hong'er's voice was a little sad.

"What's wrong, Hong'er?"

Ye Xiaoyu sensed that something was wrong in her voice.

"I didn't ...... Nothing ......."

Hong'er was about to cry.

"What the hell is going on?"

Ye Xiaoyu felt more and more that something was wrong.

"Miss, that's the case, I just went to the fifth uncle to get charcoal, and I met the eldest lady, and she said miss, you ...... it."

When Hong'er said this, she suddenly burst into tears.

"Hong'er, don't cry, say slowly, I'm fine......"

Lu Qian, it's Lu Qian again, why is this Lu Qian so ghostly.

She said that the young lady was lazy and vulgar, and she didn't need a charcoal pot at all, so she told the fifth uncle not to give it to me. Woohoo......"

"Fifth uncle? Is that the fifth uncle of the housekeeper? ”

Hearing this, although Ye Xiaoyu was not very angry, she felt very annoyed.

"Yes, we have received all our charcoal from him."

"Then he listened to Lu Qian's words and didn't give it to you?"

"Woo...... yes, he's still laughing there, saying he didn't know there was another lady in the house......"

Hong'er cried louder and louder.

"Hong'er, don't cry......"

"Miss, don't reason with him, we can't tell him."

Hong'er was afraid that Ye Xiaoyu would impulsively find the fifth uncle to reason, so she couldn't cry and hurriedly persuaded her.

"Fool, you've been with me for so long, don't you know what kind of person I am? I think I'm going to do something like this. ”

Ye Xiaoyu suddenly remembered that Lu Yishou would not leave until tomorrow.

"Hong'er, what are we going to have for dinner?"

Ye Xiaoyu suddenly changed the topic.

"Miss...... I'm sorry, but I ran back because I was told that by the eldest lady, and I haven't done dinner yet. ”

Hong'er said as she sobbed.

"Hong'er, don't cry, it's okay. If the charcoal basin is gone, it's gone, let's just cover it with more quilts. ”

Ye Xiaoyu comforted Hong'er.

"Miss......"

Hearing Ye Xiaoyu say this, Hong'er was about to cry again.

"Well, don't cry, go to the kitchen to see if there is any rice, and if there is, cook some porridge."

Judging from this situation, the kitchen will definitely not prepare Ye Xiaoyu's rice grain, I hope they don't do too badly and can keep some rice. Fortunately, I found some livelihood in the afternoon, otherwise I would have starved to death as soon as I walked the road.

Ye Xiaoyu was suddenly a little afraid.

After Hong'er went out, Ye Xiaoyu gritted her teeth and took off her coat, leaving only a thin piece inside, walked into the yard, and began to run desperately around the yard.

It was still very cold, Ye Xiaoyu began to heat up all over her body as she ran, and her face was hot. After running for a while, Ye Xiaoyu estimated that Hong'er was about to come back, so she hurriedly returned to the house to get dressed and lay on the table.

"Miss, I'm back, you're right, sure enough, there was only a little rice left in the kitchen, I brought it to cook some porridge for the two of us, there were no side dishes, I added some sugar to the porridge."

"Miss...... Miss......!!! ”
