Chapter XVIII Ancient Toys
The shopkeeper said so in his mouth, but he thought in his heart, "This silver jewelry is made by the Qilin Silver Building in Wucheng, Jiangnan, and the original price should be more than fifteen taels." Although the pattern is a little outdated, the workmanship is exquisite, the style is exquisite, and after being cleaned again, it can be sold for at least thirteen taels of silver. I don't know where this village girl got ......."
Xu Lanyin knew that merchants wanted to make money and lower prices, but this shopkeeper would be a profiteer if he pressed so much. She shook her head and said, "The price given by the shopkeeper is too low. This set of jewelry was bought by my father a few years ago in Wucheng Qilin Silver Building, the workmanship is exquisite, the style is exquisite, and it cost sixteen taels of silver. If the shopkeeper gives twelve taels of silver, I will sell it. No, I'll go to another silver building. ”
The shopkeeper didn't expect this village girl to know as much as him, so he smiled and said, "Little lady, you have to let us make some money, ten taels is not ......"
After some bargaining, the silver was sold for nine taels and five dollars, and Xu Lan knew that there was no way to be slaughtered, and he was afraid of recruiting the thief and scoundrel after a long time.
Xu Lanyin put the silver in her arms, and went to the largest restaurant, dim sum shop, and embroidery workshop in the county to have a look. The little two inside didn't pay attention to her, and when she saw her dress and outfit, it didn't look like she could afford to eat or buy things there, but she still had a cheeky face and took a serious look.
Especially the little two in the embroidery workshop, I don't want to see her the most. There are also little ladies from poor families who come here to sell embroidery, and no matter how shabby they are, they can clean up neatly and neatly, and they are comfortable to look at. It's like this little lady, a rag wraps most of her head, and eighty percent of her hair is too dirty to show it, which is really unappetizing. In this world, there are no ugly women, only lazy women, really.
Xu Lanyin didn't hear the voice of the little two, otherwise he would definitely give him a thumbs up. The modern point of view of reminding women to be kind to themselves was actually penetrated by an ancient little two, which is really not simple.
She was dazzled in the embroidery workshop, and the embroidery was more exquisite than the painting. Xu Lan could only sew buttons in her previous life, and the original master in this life was not lucky, so she had to wait for Qin's illness to recover, and she drew some patterns that were not available in this era for Qin's to embroider. Although she was not able to study fine arts as she wished in her previous life, she began to learn to paint at the age of four, and after work, she liked photography, and she had many beautiful pictures in her mind. It's impossible to be a painter, but it's okay to paint something different.
In the restaurant, Xu Lanyin looked at the dishes on the table and the recipes hanging on the wall. The name of the dish is very tasteful, and many dishes are unknown what they are.
Dim sum is dazzling, there are many varieties, all of them are traditional dim sum in the previous life, mostly for this crisp and that cake, the cake is made of various flowers or plants, such as osmanthus cake, rose cake, Poria cake, red bean cake, etc., and there is actually a trough cake. The trough cake is somewhat like the cake of the previous life, the method is different, and the cake should be softer and more delicate.
Xu Lan doesn't have much confidence in selling recipes, and there may be a few Western-style dim sum recipes that can be sold. Go home and think about it, and see what kind of snack you can make. However, to make dim sum, you have to buy ingredients, and it involves money, and Qin and Xu Lanzhou are definitely not willing to let her be a "loser" again.
It was already early in a circle, and Xu Lan was hungry and spent ten yuan to buy a bowl of noodles at the stall. I don't know if the original owner hasn't eaten meat for too long, or the lady who set up the stall has really good skills, and she is so fragrant that she looks like a fairy. It made her feel that in terms of her own craftsmanship, she couldn't even compare with the stalls, and she didn't dare to compare with the people in the big restaurants.
Xu Lanyin was eating noodles, and an aunt about thirty years old with a bamboo basket came to sit down at another table and said with a smile, "Aunt He, give me a big bowl of noodles and a poached egg." Ouch, starving. ”
Aunt He beat the eggs neatly, and below, she turned her head sideways and laughed with the woman, "Big sister, you are a celebrity in the county master's mansion, what makes you tired like this, you should let those boys and girls run errands." ”
The woman looked around, except for Aunt He, she was the only one who was here, and a country girl was here, so she smiled and said, "Don't hide it from Aunt He, I'm out to buy something for my girl." Didn't my girl fall a while ago, and the doctor said that she would recuperate for three months. My girl is just eleven years old, where can she recuperate? I was tired of needlework for a while, so my wife asked me to come out and buy some things that the little lady liked to play. I've turned the whole county around, and it's still the same. ”
The lady in charge was rummaging in the basket again, and said that she would take out the same, "Little purse, doll, nine rings, Luban lock, tangram, and Lu Boqi." I have a lot of money at home, but I didn't buy it today, and I don't have the patience to play that kind of chess......"
Xu Lanyin was more interested in ancient toys, so she also turned her head to look. It's all very delicate and beautiful, and the land fighting chess is somewhat like the military chess of the previous life, but it is much simpler.
She finished eating, paid the noodle money and got up to leave.
There are also meat sellers in Xinghua Village, which is cheaper than the county seat. But she didn't want to go to Xinghua Village, so she bought half a catty of pork liver and two catties of plate oil at the county meat stall.
I went to the grain store and bought three catties of white noodles, two catties of red dates, a small bag of winter melon sugar, two pieces of dried tofu, and a small can of lamp oil, and then hurriedly walked back. I originally wanted to buy more spices, but I thought that the original owner had provoked public anger, so I still didn't dare to do it, and now she is doing more and making more mistakes. The money from the sale of the dowry, she wanted to hand it over to the Qin family. At least the forty-five taels of silver that the original owner had defeated had to be returned, so that the Qin family and Xu Lanzhou could breathe a sigh of relief, and she would have the right to speak in that family.
It was nearly dusk when I returned to Xiaozao Village, and many children were playing in the village, a few women were gossiping, and there were farmers walking home from the fields.
Xu Lanyin could walk the path in front of the village to go home, but she just walked to the village to walk the road that passed through the ancient family, and carried the pork liver and plate oil in the basket in her hand. It's very conspicuous that people in the countryside buy so many things.
The ancient woman stood at the door and looked at it. Although Xu Lanyin scolded her that day, she felt that it must have been provoked by Old Lady Xu. Just that stupid girl, she wants to be a lifter every day, and if she figures it out, she will still change her way to slap herself. Today, I went to sell herbs, and the eight achievements were to sell them quickly to make myself happy.
Finally looked forward to Xu Lanyin, and saw her walking here with a straw rope tied with pork liver and plate oil in her hand, and the smile on the ancient woman's face bloomed. When she walked this way, she must have come from home to deliver meat.
Gu Pozi stepped forward and stretched out her hand to pick up the pork liver and plate oil, and said with a smile, "Because of the girl, the eldest lady has cooled the sour berry soup for you, go to the house to drink." Ouch, the eldest mother has not eaten meat for several days, you are really a filial child, as soon as you sell the medicine, you will buy some meat for the eldest mother to satisfy her hunger. He whispered again, "It's better to go to Xu Lizheng's house tomorrow to get a few pears for the eldest lady to eat." ”
She said she would do it but didn't say buy it. Secretly, I secretly bought this meat, and I definitely have no money left in my hand. It's better to steal it, so that my son and you will have to leave.
