Chapter 24: Shyness in the Pocket
A hint of strange emotion flashed in Li Yan's eyes.
She just couldn't decipher it.
"You, you know?"
Half-squinting, she smiled, she turned around: "Don't worry, the things will be returned to you sooner or later." β
beckoned Sun Xiaohou to take the medicine and leave, and then, went to a nearby clothing shop, it was really inconvenient to wear this kind of clothes, and the hem was hooked by branches with a few holes.
Walk into a ready-to-wear shop.
Fancy a riding outfit.
"What? 600 !! β
There was a dumbfounding.
"This little lady, we are a decades-old shop here, we won't shout the price, if it's too expensive, you can buy a coarse cloth and go back to make it yourself!"
"Come, take a look, coarse cloth 100 wen a horse."
"One horse can make two sets!"
"How much is this?" Sun Xiaohou was attracted by a beautifully colored cloth.
"Go away! Xiao is called Hanako, this silk is not something that your black claws can touch! β
She also asked, "How much is that?" β
"At least 500 wen a horse."
Poor willow is shy in her pocket.
I walked out of the ready-to-wear store and went to another one, and the price was about the same.
"You want it sincerely, I'll give you a sincere price, how about 580 Wen?"
She sighed.
The shopkeeper continued: "Equestrian clothes are naturally more expensive, do you want to take a look at the cloth shirt, the cheapest is only 350 Wen, and how about giving you a headscarf?" β
"How many shoes?"
"Exquisite cloth shoes are 80 Wen, if the riding boots have to be 150 Wen, rest assured, the riding boots of my shop, a pair, top two families, the son of Jia County Order also came to my house to order!"
In the end, she asked for a set of women's riding clothes, a pair of riding boots, and two pairs of cloth shoes, and the shopkeeper gave her a headscarf.
After grinding for a long time, the bargaining price was 10 wen less, and 880 wen was given.
There is always 70 Wen left.
When she came out of Liufu, she only brought the usual money, which was always 1,000 copper plates, that is, 1,000 Wen.
Why only bring consistently?
Because it has always been almost more than 8 pounds.
If you carry a few more times in your backpack, I'm afraid that you will sink into Lihe early.
When she went to the back hall, the tailor in the shop measured her size.
The ready-to-wear garments are relatively larger, which is easy to modify, and it takes an hour and a half to take the clothes, and then it is noon, and I go to fill my stomach first.
I found a good view - a noodle stall.
Dried noodles with scallion oil.
It is the noodles that have passed through the water, and when they are cold, they are mixed with shallots and sesame oil.
A bowl of noodles, 4 Wen, noodle soup does not cost money.
"Boss, three bowls of noodles." shouted noodles, and then went to the opposite stall to buy meat buns, two 3 Wen, one is the size of a fist.
"I also ate steamed buns on my birthday last year!"
Sun Xiaohou was very happy, and looked at the cloth shoes on his feet while eating.
One pair of shoes was given to Fangcao, and one pair was given to Sun Xiaohou.
Sun Xiaohou wore a cool model, with two thumbs and heels as holes.
With new shoes, old shoes are reluctant to throw away.
She threw it away, and he ran out again to pick it up: "Why did you throw it?" I can wear it for another two years! β
Li Yan didn't eat meat buns, but just ate a bowl of noodles quietly.
The whole thing was quiet.
It's hard to hear even the sound of soup.
She ate two buns with Sun Xiaohou alone: "Hiccupβ"
With a hiccup, Sun Xiaohou laughed at her for a long time.
Li Yan turned around.
In the afternoon, I had to walk for a few hours, and I didn't have the physical strength to walk, so the three of them sat by the river for a while.
The sun is a little big, and the river is quite cool.
"Sour plum soup...... Sweet and sour plum soup! β
The one who shouted was the vendor who carried the burden around, and if he wanted to drink sour plum soup, he drank a bowl from his bowl.
One bowl, 1 text.
Of course, Li Yan refused to eat it.
After eating and drinking, lying down and squinting for a while, Li Yan woke up the two of them to go to the clothing shop.
Changing into a women's riding outfit and boots, and with her hair tied up high, she finally felt like she had a new lease on life.
"What a handsome girl!" The shopkeeper praised again and again: "Dress comfortably, come to my shop next time!" β
When she came out, Li Yan glanced at her empty hands.
"Clothes?"
"What are you doing with it?"
"Pawnshop."
Not to mention her crumpled and dirty clothes, and a few big holes, which blind pawnshop would want it?
When Li Yan came out of the pawnshop, his eyes lit up, and he took the bag and poured out the copper plate and counted it.
"My rag clothes are worth 800 wen?!"
Li Yan shook his head disdainfully.
Li Yan didn't explain, she didn't bother to ask, so she took Sun Xiaohou to buy roast chicken.
I passed by a roast chicken shop in front of me, and ouch, the smell has been following until now.
A live chicken, 30 wen.
A roast chicken, 45 wen.
I asked for four roast chickens and grinded for a long time, but the boss refused to pay less, but gave a few flatbreads.
Sun Xiaohou had to hold the roast chicken.
He put the back on his chest and hugged it tightly, and when someone passed by and walked closer, he bared his teeth at them.
Li Yan was far away from the two of them, ten or twenty steps apart.
When they came, they came from the south of the city, and when they left, Sun Xiaohou took them to the north, and they could get closer when they went back.
After entering the city entrance go straight, it is a long stone road, on the left, across a small river, a row of small houses next to each other, that is a residential area, this side of the river is a commercial area, much more lively than that side, cross a few small bridges, the stone road to the end, and then turn right, is the location of the county government, Sun Xiaohou said that there is a tower next to it.
It turned out to be the ancestral hall of a small fishing village, a big typhoon, the ancestral hall was broken and ruined, the rich man rebuilt the ancestral hall, and by the way, he repaired a tower, and later, there was a temple there.
However, when I reached the end of the stone path, there were many people in front of me, and the people behind me stood on tiptoe.
"Big brother, what's wrong?"
Before the lively eldest brother could speak, there was a burst of drums in front of him.
The interval between the drums is relatively slow, and each time it is beaten, it is not very loud.
"It's coming, it's coming!"
"The yamen is open!"
"Let's go to the court, go over and see!"
The people blocking the front moved, and a large group of people gathered at the gate of the county office.
She followed.
Approaching the county office, I noticed that the next wall connected to the county government was obviously different in color and material from the outer wall of the county office, but the two were connected.
Sun Xiaohou said: "That is the back house of Jia County Order. β
"Where is the back house?"
"He has a lot of wives!"
Squeezed forward and squeezed.
Looking back at Li Yan, he was struggling to move forward.
The main reason is that he doesn't want others to touch his white robe, which is wrinkled, dirty, and has a rope hanging from his head, and he looks like he will go crazy at any time.
Walk on the road opposite the county ya, squeeze and squeeze, and it won't take long to reach the opposite side of the yamen.
Stand on tiptoe and look inside.
Sun Xiaohou wanted to join in the fun, but he couldn't rest assured that he was carrying a baby.
"Auntie, what's going on inside?"
"I'll take a look." Stepping on a stone pier, holding a pillar in his hand, he looked into the yamen and saw an old woman kneeling in the open dam in front of the yamen.
"Grievance...... Everyone, give the old woman a review, help me, save my poor granddaughter! β
A man squeezed in at the door: "Let me in!" That's my mother! β
The man finally rushed in and grabbed the old woman: "Come back with me!" β
The old woman pushed the man away with her backhand: "Get out of here!" I'm going to sue you, and also, there's this Nanxun County Order! β
