29. Shopping (30th day of the 11th month of the lunar calendar)
Shunhe Restaurant is the largest in the county, and it is also the highest fee, three plates of meat and a few steamed buns, which cost Su Rui a full five taels of silver.
This money is enough to buy five or six big white geese, but the younger siblings eat happily, which is the most important thing.
Passing by the Rejuvenation Hall, Rurui didn't plan to go in, but Doctor Sun saw her and took the initiative to come out to say hello: "Girl Su, I haven't seen you enter the city for a long time." ”
Everyone came out to say hello, and Su Rui could only stop and say, "Grandpa Sun, we won't sell ginseng during this time." ”
Dr. Sun waved his hand: "I know you don't... Wait, you, you're saying it's not for sale during this time? Didn't say that it wouldn't be sold later, right? Doctor Su looked at Su Rui with a shocked face, which means that it is not sold recently, right?
Su Rui just looked back with a smile on her face and didn't explain.
"Haha, you little girl." Doctor Sun pointed helplessly.
"Grandpa Sun, we still have to rush to buy things, and we have to go back with the ox cart in the village later, otherwise we will delay the time to go back."
Dr. Sun didn't continue to stop him, but just said, "Little girl, next time." You can come and sit in our rejuvenation hall. It's okay if you don't go back to the ox cart, we have a horse-drawn cart in the pharmacy that can send you off. ”
Su Rui smiled and nodded: "Then I'll thank Grandpa Sun first, next time I come, I will definitely come to see you." ”
Bidding farewell to Dr. Sun, Su Rui and a few people came to the ready-to-wear shop, all of which were men's clothes.
Su Rui plans to buy two clothes for Second Uncle Song, he is now wearing her father's old clothes, after all, he is everyone's child, and it is always not good to wear his deceased father's clothes like this.
Su Ying saw so many styles of clothes, looked back and forth excitedly, and grabbed Su Rui's incoherent Su, "Big, big, big sister, look at it." ”
Su Rui pulled out the tight sleeves that were pulled by Su Ying: "Ouch, second sister, don't get excited, eldest sister saw it." Tell me about you, look at a man's clothes, you're so excited. ”
Su Ying calmed down and carefully watched the styles of each dress.
There were three guys in the ready-to-wear shop, two of them, probably thinking that Su Rui's sisters and brothers were just here to make trouble, and they didn't pay attention, only a young guy stepped forward enthusiastically and asked, "What do you need?" ”
"Aren't ready-to-wear shops here to buy ready-to-wear? What else can you buy? ”
The guy laughed, "You're wrong, we don't just have ready-to-wear, shoes, socks, underwear, everything related to fabric, we have it." ”
Su Rui looked left and right, and asked strangely, "Then why, there are no women's clothes?" ”
The man helped to answer: "Women's clothes should be bought at the embroidery village, and we only sell men's." ”
Su Rui suddenly realized: "Okay, then we have to buy a men's ready-to-wear." ”
When the man heard that he was going to buy clothes, he pointed to the wall full of clothes and asked, "Look, what kind of style do you need?" ”
Su Rui looked at the styles of each piece, and felt that they were all about the same, but she didn't see any difference...
asked Su Ying in a low voice: "Second sister, which one do you say Second Uncle Song is suitable for?" ”
Without hesitation, Su Ying pointed to a duck egg blue, embroidered with bamboo, and a necked coat with bamboo embroidered on the cuffs and neckline.
Su Rui compared the clothes around her, and felt that the style was similar: "Man, we want this one." ”
"What is the size?"
Su Rui didn't ask the size, which was embarrassing "....................."
Su Ying hurriedly gestured and said, "The body is a head taller than you, and the fat and thin are about the same." ”
The guy took out a brand new piece of clothing from the closet: "Okay, there is another suitable size, you can take it back and try it out, if not, you can bring it to the shop for free adjustment." ”
When Su Rui was about to pay and leave, she remembered that Su Chenrui would go to a private school next year, and there were special school uniforms in modern schools, and there should be special styles of clothes in ancient times. "I want to ask, what kind of clothes should I wear when I enter a private school for the first time?"
The guy glanced at Su Chenrui and said, "Is this little boy?" ”
"Yes"
The guy took out an adult Xiucai costume and said: "I am a Xiucai, I am wearing coarse linen clothes, not allowed to wear Qi embroidery, and wear beads and jewels. The literati looked down on it. ”
"Forehead........." Su Rui said in her heart, "Isn't it just a poor and sour talent, I can't afford to wear good clothes, so I have a good family ............."
The guy continued: "Actually, it's just a simple style, no bells and whistles. ”
Su Rui motioned to Su Ying to help Su Chenrui choose a cotton robe and a single coat for Su Chenrui, and Su Chennan was the same.
Su Ying made a good choice, and Su Rui asked, "Chen Rui, do you think your second sister can choose?" How you are not satisfied can also choose for yourself. Su Rui said that she was very democratic and did not engage in a word.
"Yes, the second sister chose very well." Su Chenrui doesn't care about dressing, as long as it's complete, he thinks it's OK.
"Where's Xiao Chennan? May I? ”
Su Chennan didn't understand, just tilted her head and looked at Su Rui suspiciously: "Eldest sister? ”
Su Rui was not prepared to get an answer from Su Chennan's mouth, and said, "Okay, I want these five sets of clothes and three pairs of shoes." Take the trouble to figure out how much money you need. ”
The guy didn't expect that on the second day of work, he sold five pieces of clothes, and he was very happy and excited: "Wait a minute." ”
The two guys next to him were sour in their hearts, and the shopkeeper looked behind the counter and shook his head, he had already said that don't look down on anyone.
took the abacus from the counter and dialed it up in front of Su Rui's sister and brother: "An adult is dressed in a fine cotton robe, 860 yuan, the little boy's fine cotton robe is 520 yuan, the fine cotton robe is 380 yuan, the little boy is 390 yuan in a fine cotton robe, the muslin single clothes are 280 yuan, and the adult shoes are 100 yuan, the little boy is 80 yuan, the little boy is 60 yuan, and Chenghui has a total of 2,640 yuan."
Su Rui handed him a tael of broken silver.
"I'm looking for you for three hundred and sixty dollars. Slow down and come back next time. The man respectfully put the recovered silver money in Su Rui's palm.
Su Rui smiled at him, put away the money, put the wrapped clothes into Su Chenrui's back basket, and said, "Let's go, now go to the embroidery village." ”
When he arrived at the door of Xiuzhuang, Su Chenrui saw that they were all women, young ladies, and little girls, so he didn't want to go in, and Su Rui didn't force him, so he handed Su Chennan to him, gave him ten cents, and waited at the tea stall opposite Xiuzhuang, and walked in with his three younger sisters.
The appearance of the embroidery village looks much taller than the ready-to-wear shop, the vermilion six-open door, as soon as you enter the door, there is a particularly large Bogu shelf, on which there are all kinds of silk flowers, handkerchiefs, sachets, hair bands.
Walking inside, there is a tall counter on the left, and all kinds of clothes are hung on the right, and there are several showgirls embroidering various patterns on the clothes.
A woman dressed like a shopkeeper stepped forward to greet her: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you need a dress?" Or a handkerchief sachet? ”
Su Rui took a step forward and said to the woman with a smile: "Sister, we sisters must each wear a new dress for the New Year, and the color cannot be red." ”
The shopkeeper saw that Su Rui's sisters were dressed, although the color was plain, but they were all muslin, presumably the conditions were not bad, so he picked up an orange cotton robe embroidered with begonia flowers, pointed at Su Wan and said to Su Rui.
"This little girl must be lively when she looks at her. The most suitable color is for you, you can choose your own, or let me recommend it. ”
Su Rui chose a lilac-colored dress without embroidery. Su Ying chose an apricot-colored dress with daisy patterns embroidered on the collar, and Su Qiao directly chose a goose-yellow dress with colorful butterfly patterns embroidered on the hem.
Another person chose two pairs of shoes, one for single and one for cotton.
"Chenghui 4,220 yuan, I am giving you four silk flowers."
Su Rui thanked the shopkeeper for the silk flowers, took the copper plate she was looking for, went out of the embroidery village, found Su Chenrui who took Su Chennan to drink tea, and set off to the market together.
