Chapter XXVIII. Making Money and Purchasing
Shopkeeper Wang happily paid 1,550 yuan to Lin Zhu and Aunt Li. Aunt Li was overjoyed that wolfberries could be sold at such a good price, and when the money was delivered to her, she couldn't hide the surprised expression on her face, looking at Aunt Li's happy appearance, Lin Zhu was also very happy, but her concentration was better, and a faint smile appeared on her face. This made the shopkeeper Wang, who had been observing her from the side, a little more interested in her, from the beginning of entering the inner hall, it was Lin Zhu who was negotiating with him, originally he thought that Lin Zhu and Aunt Li were mother and daughter, but Aunt Li couldn't let go of her hands and feet here at all, and Lin Zhu was the leader.
"It doesn't seem like you can look at her as a child for the next year. There is no stage fright at a young age, and such a bland view of money will definitely be extraordinary in the future. Shopkeeper Wang only saw Lin Zhu, but he made such a judgment on her. After the two of them collected the money, the shopkeeper Wang said to Lin Zhu: "This wolfberry can be picked until October, as long as it has always been in this condition, just send it over, we will accept it." ”
"In this way, Xie Lu Xie Wang is the shopkeeper, you can rest assured, it will definitely be sent to you when the time comes, you just have to collect it according to this quality." Lin Zhu decided in his heart that he must grasp the grade of wolfberry.
After saying goodbye to the shopkeeper Wang, Lin Zhu and Aunt Li went out of Fushengtang and found a place where no one was, Lin Zhu wanted to put the money into the space, after all, with so much money, it was not suitable to put it in the purse, so that people could see through it at a glance, and they would not be at ease in the back. Lin Zhu discussed with Aunt Li, put the 1,000 yuan in Lin Zhu's back, and the rest of the money was in Aunt Li.
Aunt Li also felt that it was safer, so she handed over the wallet to Lin Zhu, who pretended to put it on her back, but actually put it into the space. The baggage used to wrap the wolfberries in the back was sorted out and covered. Seeing Lin Zhu carefully pack the money, Aunt Li was also relieved.
The street where Fushengtang is located is very lively, with a variety of shops, and many vendors setting up stalls on the roadside, and all kinds of shouts and shouts come and go. Lin Zhu and Aunt Li have been walking and stopping, all kinds of small objects on the stall Lin Zhu looks good, but under the guard of the thrifty Aunt Li, none of them have been bought, and she is warned that she can't spend it indiscriminately if she has money, those gadgets can't be eaten, and they can't be worn, this money is difficult to earn, but it's too easy to spend, so it's better to save a little.
In view of the fact that the money in hand is indeed relatively small now, and those things are not necessary to buy, Lin Zhu obediently obeyed Aunt Li's opinion.
However, because she made some money, Aunt Li wanted to buy some rouge gouache and embroidery thread for Ruyu and Youqing, and finally came to the county seat to buy fabrics for her eldest daughter-in-law and future second daughter-in-law. To be honest, Aunt Li is an enlightened mother-in-law, although her daughter-in-law has been married for two years and has not been pregnant, she has never said anything bad about this matter, and even today she wants to buy her some fabrics. In Lin Zhu's opinion, Liu Qiucui should live a good life when she meets a good person, and don't make trouble for the village chief's family, of course, this kind of words can only be put in the heart, Lin Zhu is an outsider after all, and she has no part in speaking.
The two came to a fat powder shop called Cai Diexuan, and as soon as they entered the door, the aroma came to their nostrils, and there were many customers buying rouge gouache. Aunt Li bought some jasmine rouge for Youqing and daily facial grease for Ruyu. Lin Zhu looked at the dazzling array of fat powder on the counter, thinking that no matter what era women are always keen to dress up, women's money is the best to make.
"Xiaozhu, do you want to choose some, you're about to grow into a big girl, you should prepare some of these things." Aunt Li saw that Lin Zhu was looking seriously, and smiled and wanted to recommend it to her. Lin Zhu knew that some makeup powders contained a lot of lead, and besides, she was not young enough to use these, if she used them on weekdays, it would be okay to buy some, and those rouges that were red and bright at a glance were better to stay away. "Then choose a face fat, I don't need anything else." Lin Zhu chose a face fat that was the same as jade. The two paid and left.
After inquiring about where the nearest cloth village was, the two went straight away.
Jin Kee Cloth Village is very famous in Song County, I heard that it has been passed down for three generations of old shops, Lin Zhu and Li Da Niang came to the door, and saw people going in and out, it was very lively, of course, the hands of going out were more or less holding fabrics. The two of them saw the same situation, and knew the same situation as they had inquired before. So the two also entered the Jin Kee.
As soon as I entered the door, a young man came over and asked, "What kind of fabric do you want to choose, we are a time-honored brand, and it is definitely worth the money." As soon as Mrs. Li told her what she requested, the man took her to the counter and bought a suitable fabric, two pieces of muslin cloth of aqua blue and lilac, it seems that the guy in the store is still very real in business, and he did not recommend particularly expensive ones to Mrs. Li, nor did he look down on people because of his strength, and the price of the two pieces of material was much cheaper than that of the cloth village in Baihe Town. The accompanying forest bamboo also chose a piece of shallow water red material.
The two returned with a full load, out of the cloth village, Lin Zhu saw that it was still early, and said to Aunt Li that he wanted to go to the seed store to see, originally Aunt Li felt that it was not the time to go to the seed store now, and now it was obviously too late to plant vegetables, and it was cold before it grew up. But Lin Zhu wants to see what novel seeds there are, there are few people who plant them, and the high price is her first choice now, anyway, there is space, put the seeds in, you can improve the quality, and there should be a good harvest when planting.
At Lin Zhu's insistence, the two still came to the seed shop, and found that there were more types of seed shops here than in the town, and there were some fruit saplings and the like, and Lin Zhu also found grape vines, but they were only with roots and a small section on it, not the whole vine. She remembered that this would be the time when the grapes were ripe, and how could anyone dig them up.
Lin Zhu looked carefully in the store, there are a lot of vegetable seeds, but there is no greenhouse and now can not be planted, after the introduction of the guys in the store, Lin Zhu still bought some cucumbers, beans, eggplants, these are more common. I chose another kind of melon seeds, and I heard from the guy that this kind of melon is very popular in summer, so Lin Zhu happily bought some.
After paying the money, Lin Zhu was just about to turn around and leave, when the corner of his eye swept over an inconspicuous corner of the store, and saw a small cotton bag there, and found some yellow round and flat seeds from the open mouth. When she walked over and saw that it was a chili pepper, and it looked very good. "What kind of seed is this?" She pointed to the pocket and asked the guy. The man looked at it for a moment, "These are not edible things that are grown, they can only be used as decorations." But the fruit is red, and it looks good when grown, because it can't be eaten, so there are few people who buy it, and if you want it, I'll give you a cheaper price. ”
After listening to the guy's words, Aunt Li persuaded Lin Zhu on the side not to buy some useless ones. But others don't know the way, Lin Zhu can't admit it, it's a chili seed, it's very useful, although she can't eat too spicy food, but she can't stand the little spicy and tempting. As long as they can grow it and sell it to restaurants, as long as they know how to do it, they will definitely buy it in large quantities.
So Lin Zhu insisted on buying it, but Aunt Li's nagging on the way back made her ears very uncomfortable for a while.
