The shopkeeper was afraid that they would lower the price, and said: "This price is already very cheap, our Jianghuai Prefecture is close to Jiangnan, and there is no disaster, so we can have this price." If it is in Zhongzhou and other places, the price of cotton and cotton cloth is expensive, I heard that in Zhongzhou, the old cotton has been sold for 300 wen a catty, tsk, it is three times more expensive than new cotton. Further east, there is no money to buy cotton. ”

"There is also the price of grain, I heard that a pound of rice and noodles in Zhongzhou has been sold for 100 Wen, and I have to rush to buy it, and I can't buy it if it's slow."

The third grandfather hurriedly asked: "Isn't the government already providing disaster relief, why are the prices in Zhongzhou still so expensive?" Prices in Ha An won't rise as outrageously as Zhongzhou, right? ”

"The government is providing disaster relief, but it can only stabilize our Jianghuai Prefecture a few years ago. On the Zhongzhou side, I want to settle down and get the New Year. The shopkeeper said, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, our He'an Mansion is close to Jiangnan, and the government will protect our He'an Mansion and Linjiang Mansion in order to keep Jiangnan. ”

If the government hadn't given them an order, he would have raised the price of cotton cloth and cotton.

The third grandfather breathed a sigh of relief, they had been running around for more than half a year, and they had just settled down, and they couldn't stand the toss anymore.

"Old man, how much cotton and cotton do you want?" The shopkeeper asked with a smile, these people have no warm clothes, and it is estimated that they have to buy a lot of fabrics.

The third grandfather said: "I want ten feet of cotton cloth, a piece of coarse arrowroot cloth, and six catties of new cotton." ”

The smile on the shopkeeper's face almost couldn't be maintained, the coarse kudzu cloth was not warm, and it was cheap, and a coarse kudzu cloth was only 300 yuan.

Gu Jinli didn't want the third grandfather to be looked down upon, so he followed: "My family wants two pieces of cotton cloth, three horses of coarse arrowroot cloth, and twenty catties of new cotton." ”

When the shopkeeper heard Gu Jinli's words, he smiled from ear to ear, and hurriedly shouted to the guy: "Hurry up and get the cloth!" ”

When Gu Dashan heard Gu Jinli's words, he was taken aback, and hurriedly whispered to Gu Jinli: "Xiaoyu, is this too much, you don't need to buy cotton cloth, we can buy coarse kudzu cloth, and cotton doesn't need new cotton, just miscellaneous cotton." ”

"Dad, the new cotton is dried, it can be used for several years, the miscellaneous cotton is not warm, the old cotton is damp yellow cotton, it won't last for two years, we might as well buy it, and we can continue to use it in the future."

This is not much at all, but there are six people in their family, each person has to use ten catties of cotton to make a pair of cotton clothes and cotton pants, and at least three quilts have to be made, and one bed can not bear the cold without three catties of cotton, so these twenty catties of cotton look too much, but it is not enough.

The third grandfather said: "Xiaoyu is right, you have to buy good cotton to buy it." If you buy it once, you won't need it next winter. ”

Dr. Du also said: "It's still cold now, and it will be cold until March next year, but you can't suffer from the cold, if you are sick, it will be more expensive to buy medicine." ”

Gu Dashan listened, calculated an account, and agreed.

Dr. Du also bought half a piece of cotton cloth, half a horse of coarse kudzu cloth, and ten catties of new cotton.

Qin Sanlang bought a lot, asked for two cotton cloths, two coarse arrowroot cloths, and fifteen catties of new cotton.

The shopkeeper was very happy, and in a short time asked the fellow to bring all their things.

Gu Jinli asked the shopkeeper: "Uncle shopkeeper, do you have rag heads here?" We have bought so many things, you have to add a little bit of it, this is an addition, but it is a little sweetness and blessing for the two of us. ”

"Yo, you little girl, you can talk. Okay, there are three packs of rags, one pack for you, which can be regarded as sweetening the New Year for the two of us. ”

When Gu Jinli heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Uncle shopkeeper, how much is the price of your pack of rags?" ”

In the miscellaneous cotton, the rag head is mixed with the wool and cotton, and the rag head will not be given to you in vain.

The shopkeeper said: "It's not expensive, a pack of ten catties, if you want it, you can give a pack of twenty wen." ”

It's two pennies a pound, which is very cheap.

Gu Jinli said: "We all want it, thank you Uncle Shopkeeper." ”

This rag head can be filled to make pillows, or even quilts to keep out the cold, and if it is large, it can also be spliced together to make cloth bags or shoe uppers, which is very useful.

The shopkeeper asked the man to bring her three packets of rags, and gave her two clean sacks that she could use to carry things.

Gu Jinli thanked the shopkeeper, gave another forty yuan, and sorted out the things with Gu Dashan, put the cloth in the basket, and after the cotton was loaded, he tied it to the hook of the flat shoulder, picked up the basket and left.

When he came out of the gate of Buzhuang, two frolicking men and a woman rushed towards him, and almost collided with them.

The man also complained first, and scolded them, "How did you walk? I almost bumped into my Lan sister, so I quickly apologized! ”

Gu Jinli frowned, and after looking up to see the appearance of the two, he immediately pointed at the man and said, "Third grandfather, father, look, this is Uncle Junwang of Zhong Xiucai's family who fled with us, and his godsister Ma Cuilan." ”

As she spoke, her eyes fell on Zhong Junwang and Ma Cuilan's hands, tsk, is this going to be bloody?

This Zhong Junwang is a person with a daughter-in-law and children, what is the matter with holding hands with Ma Cuilan?

As soon as Zhong Junwang heard their words, he knew that they were people on the way to escape from the wilderness, and he was immediately dumbfounded.

Ma Cuilan hurriedly withdrew her hand, lowered her head, took two steps back, and kept her distance from Zhong Junwang.

The shopkeeper bought a lot of things because of Gu Jinli, and immediately helped: "Yo, this breath is so impulsive, I don't know that I think it's the young master in the town, but it turns out that it's a disaster victim who fled the famine." ”

The shopkeeper shook his abacus and said, "Our cloth village is not on credit, if you want to come in, you have to have silver." ”

Although the shopkeeper does not like the victims who fled the famine, he even more despises those who are also victims of the disaster but still bully the victims. That kind of person is the most undesirable.

The women who were watching the excitement next to them didn't think it was a big deal answered: "Godsister, dare to love this is not a kiss, so what kind of hand?" Offend public decency! ”

Zhong Junwang's face turned blue when he heard this, Ma Cuilan glared at Gu Jinli with unkind eyes, turned his head and ran away, Zhong Junwang hurriedly chased after him.

The third grandfather looked at the back of Zhong Junwang and Ma Cuilan running away, and was glad in his heart, fortunately their family did not adopt Ma Cuilan at the beginning. Otherwise, this family does not know how far it will be corrupted.

This old Zhong family, I'm afraid I won't have a good life in the future.

After a short farce, several people left Buzhuang.

Out of Buzhuang, Dr. Du said goodbye to them: "Brother Gu, Chenjia Village is a little far away from the town, you have to walk for three hours, there are two children at home, I have to go back first, you will come to the town in the future, remember to go to the hanging pot workshop to find me, we are all fellow townsmen, but we have to come and go often." ”

"Okay, you can go back first. In the future, if our family comes to town, we will definitely go to the Hanging Pot Workshop to see you. The third grandfather said with a smile.
