Chapter Forty-Six: Buy After Eating
Xu Dahai noticed the back basket in the corner of the courtyard, and when he saw Xu Lan take out of the back basket one by one, his face changed almost instantly.
There is meat, timber rice, oil and salt, as well as polished rice and white flour. And there are plenty of them!
Xu Dahai's eyes almost popped out, and the people who were waiting to see were boiling like boiling water.
"Oh my God, I bought so many things! How much does it cost? Someone in the crowd exclaimed.
"There must be several catties of fat, how much oil can be refined!"
"And that polished rice, I haven't eaten polished rice in my life!"
The big guy was greedy just by looking at it, and every time Xu Lan took out something, the exclamations came and went.
Xu Dahai was also surprised at first, but after being surprised, he thought of the money spent, and his face was almost blue.
That's all his money!
Even if the things you buy are good, how much will it cost! Thinking that the money spent in vain was gone, Xu Dahai's heart was dripping blood.
"Who told you to buy these!" Xu Dahai glared angrily, without any joy at all, but was so distressed that he could barely breathe.
Xu Lan was very calm, she didn't want to hide it from the beginning when she bought such things.
After all, you have to use it when you buy it, and you will definitely find it among your neighbors, so it's better to take it out generously and show it to them.
She also thought about using the meat to refine the lard residue, the lard residue tasted very fragrant, and it was particularly attractive.
"I bought it." Xu Lan faced Xu Dahai, "Dad, my mother's health has not been good, you see how thin she has become, you have to eat some good life supplements with oil and water." There is also the eldest brother, he has to lie in bed on his lap for at least two or three months, how to recover without eating something good. ”
What she said was reasonable, everything was useful, and Xu Dahai didn't know how to reply.
Could it be that he said that it was a waste of money to buy these things, not to make up for his daughter-in-law's body, and not to let his son recover faster?
Xu Dahai didn't have the face to say, but when he thought of the silver, his flesh hurt, and he gritted his teeth, "Can't you buy less?" Buy so much, you can't eat it all! ”
"Why can't you finish it?" Xu Lan smiled at once, "I've planned it, we didn't eat nutritious before, and in the future, we will have ** rice and white noodles every day." Eat meat a few times every once in a while. It won't take long to finish eating, and I'll go to the county town to buy it after eating, and today I asked the doctor in Huichun Hall, and he said that eating these is the best way to replenish the body, and the body of the mother and eldest brother will be fine soon. ”
Hearing that he would buy it after eating, Xu Dahai almost couldn't believe what he heard.
"Where did the family get the money to eat like this! Just such a way to eat, within a few days, the family will be poor and can't open the pot! ”
Xu Lan naturally wouldn't expose the fact that she had money, but said: "After spending it, I will go into the mountains to pick herbs and sell them, don't worry, Dad, I said that I will make the life of the family as good as possible, so you can eat with peace of mind." ”
Xu Dahai was choked and speechless.
The onlookers were shocked and didn't know what to say.
The eyes were full of envy, and they even drooled when they looked at the several catties of fat, they might not be able to taste the meat a few times a year, but the Xu family could eat it every once in a while.
In addition to envy or envy, but envy is envy, let them take out all the money to buy these food, it must be reluctant to pay a penny.
I finally got a few hundred dollars of silver from selling herbs, and I can't just squander it.
Xu Dahai didn't have the strength to look at Xu Lan anymore, he sat on the threshold with his butt, and followed the anger in his heart, he felt that if it didn't go well, he had to let Xu Lan carry his anger.
With a basket of things, Zhang's heart was beating when he looked at it, when did he have so many good things at home.
"Lan'er, how much did you spend on these?" Zhang said, and couldn't help but tap Xu Lan's forehead, "You really know how to spend money." Mother knows your filial piety, but this is too much. ”
Xu Lan patted Zhang's hand, "Mother, you can eat with confidence, I will not let you be wronged again, and you don't have to worry about running out of money, I still have money." ”
Zhang thought that the money she said was the money from selling herbs today, so she didn't think much about it, but the money for selling herbs today was too much.
These things have to be at least a tael of silver.
"Mother, you can help me move things in." Xu Lan grinned and took Zhang's hand.
Naturally, such a good thing could not be placed in the yard, so Zhang immediately agreed, and all of them were moved to the stove house after one or two trips.
Zhang's was moving, and the big guys were all hot-eyed, and they didn't leave, and they started talking about it all of a sudden.
Xu Lan didn't care about them, she thanked Liang Wei seriously, "Brother Liang, you can stay and have dinner at my house today and then go back, you have worked hard today, I'll cook." ”
It is impossible for her to pay off the kindness she owes Liang Wei at once, so Xu Lan will seize the slightest opportunity.
Liang Wei looked at the little girl's expectant and serious look, although he was very moved in his heart, he still said, "I will accept your wishes." ”
His girl, before she officially married her, didn't want any gossip to hurt her.
After Xu Lan was disappointed for a moment, she didn't force it, "That's okay, but I'll bring you the stew tomorrow, don't refuse again." ”
This time, Liang Wei did not refuse, hooked the corners of his lips and agreed.
Xu Lan immediately smiled.
After a few more words, Liang Wei left.
The onlookers saw that there was no excitement to see, and they also walked back.
It was at this time that a carriage drove into the village and stopped just outside the courtyard of the Xu family.
The person who walked slowly saw that the carriage stopped at the door of Xu's house, and he didn't leave, but stopped and looked at it from afar.
"Is Miss Xu Lan at home?"
A person got out of the carriage, and he couldn't be a peasant man when he was dressed.
Xu Lan was about to enter the stove house, when she heard the shout, she came out and saw that it was a middle-aged man she didn't know.
"I am." She walked out, "May I ask who you are?" ”
When the middle-aged man saw that it was Xu Lan, he immediately smiled and said, "Miss Xu Lan, I am a guy from Wanbu Pavilion, this is the cloth you bought and sent it to you." There are 62 feet of cloth in total, and they are all here, you can take a look. ”
Xu Lan understood, she took a closer look at the quantity, and the color was the same as what she liked, so she said, "Please help me move in." ”
The guy nodded, "No trouble." Then he quickly moved the cloth to the table in the hall.
The cloth arrived, and the man drove the wagon away.
As soon as he left, the crowd suddenly became lively again, and although they were far from knowing what the cloth was, they could hear what the man was saying.
There are so many 62 feet of cloth!
You can make several sets of clothes for several people!
"Lan girl, you also bought cloth, it must have cost a lot, the coarse cloth in the county town is ten cents and one foot!"
