Chapter 6 Into the City, Children Fight
The family's food is only about 30 catties, and Yang Cui is also worried that it won't last long, and it is imminent to make money.
After the meal, Yang Cui planned to go into the city to investigate.
Yang Cui was at the entrance of the village, taking the mule bus, on the mule cart, and a few villagers, all of whom were members of the Lin family, and the Lin clan did not dare to talk to Yang Cui, after all, the Fan family let go, whoever is good with Yang Cui in the future will be against her, and the people of the Lin clan are still counting on Lin Shikang to pull their own hands in the future, and this juncture will naturally not touch the Fan family's moldy head.
No one cares about herself, Yang Cui is also happy, fortunately, the owner of the mule bus at the entrance of the village is surnamed Zhou, otherwise he will rely on his legs to enter the city, and he will not be tired to death.
——
"Big girl, are you going to the capital?"
"yes, my grandmother said I'd leave in a few days." The big girl held her head high, her tone and demeanor were quite proud, and she was arrogant.
"Big girl, you will be the official lady in the future, will you come back in the future?"
"Probably not!" I don't want to come back to such a poor and remote place!
"Big girl, you see, it's two girls and three girls."
Everyone looked in the direction pointed by Xiaolian, and saw the second and third girls holding rakes, each carrying a basket of loose hair.
The eldest girl walked over: "Second and third girls, are you going into the mountains to fish for pine hair?" ”
"yes."
Xiaolian said: "You are so stupid, why don't you choose your father?" If you choose your father, won't you be able to go to the capital to be an official lady? If you have to stay here as a village girl, it's not your mother, who knows if I will want you in the future? ”
"My mother won't want us!" Erya said angrily.
"She's just your aunt, now your family's money has been lost, and you won't have anything to eat in the future, be careful that she sells you."
"That's right, it's not a kiss, she won't love you!"
……
These people are one by one, and the two and three girls who listen to them are angry, and they mingle with them.
The big girl stood aside and didn't help anyone, but she just knew how to shout, "Don't fight, don't fight." ”
The second and third girls are weak, which can beat the three of them, and soon hung up the color, although they have not played, but they are also pleasing over there, the third girl is young, the injury is more serious, there are several nail marks on the neck, and there is a deep tooth mark on the arm, and finally in the cry of the third girl, the fight was interrupted.
——
Yang Cui walked around the city, although he didn't think about what to do for the time being, but he also did some understanding of the prices here, Wan'an County is a big county, the passenger flow is very large, there has been no war in the country in recent years, so the price of grain is also stable, a bucket of rice is 120 Wen, a bucket of mung beans and red beans and millet is 90 Wen, a bucket of sorghum rice is 70 Wen, and a bucket is equal to ten catties.
The most expensive is oil and salt, especially salt, and the price is unimaginably high.
One pound of salt for one hundred wen! No wonder others say that rice and salt are buckets.
But there is really no salt at home, Yang Cui still gritted her teeth and endured the pain and bought two taels of salt, she didn't buy the oil, because it was not easy to hide, today she said that she lost money, and she bought oil in the afternoon to go back, what do people think?
After noon, it was very hot, and Yang Cui was going to buy some meat dishes and go back.
When she arrived in Washi, she found that there was no pork in this era!
It's not that there are no pigs, but pigs represent lowliness, so no one eats and no one raises, Yang Cui is helpless, it seems that it is hopeless to eat a meal.
Fish is the cheapest meat dish in this era, grass carp costs six yuan a catty, Yang Cui bought a grass carp of more than four catties, and spent twenty-five yuan.
Yang Cui went to the pastry shop to buy six pieces of mung bean cake, and when she went out, she had to bring something to eat for the two little girls at home, but the snacks were really expensive, six pieces of mung bean cake cost fifty yuan, and it was heartbreaking!
In the end, Yang Cui went to Buzhuang again, planning to buy a few feet of soft cotton cloth to make underwear and underwear, to say that the original owner's figure is really good, there are at least two or three catties of meat on the chest alone, a proper C-cup, and the eldest girl and the second girl are also older, and the girl's underwear and underwear are not too bad.
When I arrived at the cloth village, I knew that the fabric was either sold on horses, or sold by catties, different materials, the price difference was very large, Yang Cui chose a soft and comfortable fabric, and it cost five taels of silver to buy a horse, one hundred and seventy wen per catty, and Yang Cui bought three catties.
Yang Cui calculated that one pound would make three pairs of underwear for each of their family of three, one pound would be used to make underwear, and the rest would be used to make towels.
Three catties cost five hundred and ten wen, and I haven't bought much today, so I spent most of the two taels of silver, and my heart hurts!
Don't buy it, don't buy it, go home!
It costs money to go shopping, chop your hands!
Yang Cui got on the mule cart back to the village, with brand-new fabrics in the basket on her back, and a fish weighing more than four catties in her hand, which suddenly attracted the people on the mule cart.
Even if fish is the cheapest meat dish, ordinary people will not buy it until the New Year and the New Year, because they can't afford it!
Zhou Daqing's daughter-in-law Bai's eyes were straight!
"Xiaocui, why did you buy cotton cloth! So much, it cost a lot of money! ”
"Sister-in-law, my money was lost last night, how can I afford it? This is not my mother's side of the cousin married in the city, today happened to meet, she is about to give birth, she is not feeling well, let me help, make two sets of new clothes for the child. After speaking, Yang Cui shook the grass carp in her hand, "Well, she has prepared a thank you gift for me." ”
When everyone heard this, it dawned on them.
When I got home, the eldest girl and the second girl sat on the threshold, their hair was scattered, and when they saw Yang Cui, they pounced at once.
"Mother, woo woo woo ......"
"Why are you crying again? What's going on with your face and neck? Fighting? ”
The second and third girls were crying and sobbing.
"Lost a fight?"
Erya flattened her mouth: "Mother, will you not want us?" ”
Sanya cried and said, "Mother, I will eat less and work more in the future, don't you want us, okay?" Woowoo woo ......"
As soon as she heard this, Yang Cui still didn't understand anything.
These two children, in the Lin family before, Lin Shikang only cared about studying, and didn't care about the two of them at all, the Fan family could bully them vigorously, and the original owner was good to them, but it couldn't stop the Fan family's endless abuse every day, and sometimes he did it.
This time the relationship was broken, and he threatened not to want them, the child was sensitive and insecure.
"Is someone talking nonsense in front of you?" Yang Cui said, "Since you have chosen me, I will not want you, unless you abandon me." ”
"No, no, we won't!"
"Now tell me, what's going on, okay?"
The second and third girls told Yang Cui about their fight 1510.
"Silly boy, don't listen to other people's nonsense in the future, you have to remember, I won't want you, we are a family!"
Yang Cui said very surely, which made the insecure second and third ya settle down a lot.
"Yang Cui, you stinky and shameless bitch, what do you think these two money-losers have made my Xiaolian look like?" Xiaolian's mother, Chen Lili, pulled Lin Xiaolian over angrily.
"You're a stinky and shameless bitch! Look what your daughter has done to my child! Sanya stretched out your hand to show everyone. ”
Sanya was bitten by Lin Xiaolian, and her tooth marks were particularly deep.
"That's also the first move of these two people to lose money and goods! My child can't be beaten in vain! ”
"If you want to be beaten, she deserves it! Who let her talk nonsense? When did I say don't want to be two or three? If you don't learn well at a young age, you know that you can tell her mother right and wrong, and my child can't be bitten in vain! ”
"You ......"
"What am I? Do you want to fight? Or is it that you Lin clan are endlessly trying to find faults, otherwise we will go to the county government and ask the county master to call the shots! ”
"What a big deal you have to go to the county yamen, you opened the yamen!"
"The county magistrate is a parent official, and he is in charge of the people, why can't I go? I don't do anything wrong! ”
"I don't care, my Xiaolian is injured, I have to eat some good supplements, you bring your eggs and fish."
"My second and third girls have been wronged, and they have to make up for it and catch your old hen."
"Yang Cui!" Chen Lili gritted her teeth angrily, "If you don't give it today, you have to give it!" When the words fell, Chen Lili's two sons and eldest daughter stood up in unison.
"What? I want more people to bully less, have you asked me? ”
