Chapter 41: Defeat in the Great Wilderness
"It's too plain." The big cow can't look down on this village girl's shape.
He stepped forward and took out a lotus-colored collared and waist-length skirt from a row of clothes, the skirt was shallow and deep, with a large peach blossom embroidered on the skirt, and a translucent leather pink sleeve outer veil.
"This one looks good." Da Niu stretched out his hand and handed it to Yun Yao.
"Wow, you have such a good eye, you are indeed beautiful and fairy."
The muslin cloth used in the main body of this dress, the outer yarn Yun Yao can't see the material, it should be some kind of silk fabric. The skirt was finely pleated, counting eight pieces, which must have been a large 360° plane if it was turned in a circle. But how do you work with these big sleeves?
Yun Yao couldn't put it down with that dress, and she struggled for a long time.
"What, don't like it? I'll pick one more for you. Da Niu looked at her with some confusion.
Xiaoyun's skin is snow-white and delicate, and she is very delicate in such pink, why does she always like to buy those old-fashioned clothes?
"I like it, I like it very much, but I can't do it in clothes, it's dirty." Yun Yao was reluctant to put down the clothes.
"Then don't do it, you can leave anything to me." Da Niu couldn't help but laugh when he saw that she was because of this.
"Let's pick another one." Yun Yao put her clothes back in pain.
"Miss Xiaoyun doesn't like this one?" Shopkeeper Chen came over at some point.
"I like it very much, but it's inconvenient to wear." Yun Yao glanced at it again, very reluctant. If this dress was for Pepe to see, she would definitely snatch it, it was so beautiful.
"So it's because of this, I still have a matching narrow-sleeved shirt here, and the girl can replace it." The shopkeeper Chen enthusiastically promoted it, and immediately picked out a narrow sleeve shirt with a collar of the same style, and the outer one was a leather pink placket half sleeve, which was also embroidered with a large piece of peach blossoms.
"This is good, I want this one." Yun Yao became happy at this time, and reached out to hold the clothes in her arms.
"The original one is also in my possession." Da Niu stubbornly took the big-sleeved shirt too.
"Okay." Yun Yao liked it very much, and when she saw that he insisted, she accepted it.
Anyway, Da Niu's injury is almost healed, and if there is any work that can be done for him, as long as he carries some Aunt Osmanthus on his back. Yun Yao snickered in her heart.
"Miss Xiaoyun, in the future, everything you buy in the small store will be 20% off, do you want to take a few more?" Shopkeeper Chen tempted.
Just now, Childe asked people to call him up, but he arranged a task, to find out where this girl lived, and he had to talk to her a few more words.
"yes, I still have a lot to buy." Yun Yao thought about it, she wanted to build a new house, and when the time came, the house would be empty, so she couldn't even go to the village chief's house to get the quilt, right?
The two of them picked and chose in the store, and took some fabrics and cotton for quilts, Yun Yao picked a piece of muslin for each of the village chief's family to make spring clothes, and picked a lot of other needles and threads bits and pieces.
"Enough is enough, I can't buy any more, let's check out quickly." Yun Yao accidentally bought a lot of things, and she was a little worried. The big cow is still injured, how can I get this back? Put it back in the rental house and take it out when you go back? How do you explain that to everyone?
Shopkeeper Chen secretly rubbed to add fuel to the fire, and when he saw that Yun Yao was worried, he just came out to be a good person.
"What else does Miss Xiaoyun want to buy? You are the biggest customer of our store today, and the small shop can deliver to your door. ”
Da Niu glanced at Shopkeeper Chen strangely, and saw that he was smiling, not like he had evil thoughts about Xiaoyun, so he didn't say anything.
"And door-to-door delivery, huh? You guys are so caring, no wonder the business is doing so much. Yun Yao slapped a small sycophant and happily followed the shopkeeper Chen to pay the silver.
Shopkeeper Chen fiddled with an abacus for a long time, and gave Yun Yao a twenty percent discount, this large pile of things is actually worth a few pieces of clothes, and the sum does not exceed 1 tael of silver, Yun Yao paid 1 tael directly, and even gave the carriage and horse money together.
Although she likes to make prices, she doesn't like to take advantage of others.
"Miss Xiaoyun, you are too polite, our family's carriage is idle anyway, what kind of money do you still give?" Shopkeeper Chen politely asked, "Anyway, it's a trip, what else do you want to order?" ”
"You can help me exchange these 9 taels of silver for copper coins, I still have to buy some loose things, the silver is inconvenient to spend." Yun Yao handed him the silver, and when he saw that he opened the cash box to get the copper coin, he looked up and looked around boredly.
This is a boutique area, she is a small village girl now, she didn't come to visit just now, now it's good to see and open her eyes.
Ah, this full-breasted skirt is so beautiful, it is most suitable for Tang Peipei's big girl. Yun Yao immediately couldn't see it.
"Like this?" Da Niu came over to look at her and looked at her suspiciously. Doesn't she like plain colors? How do you look so bright red at this time?
"Mm-hmm, I like it so much!" Yun Yao nodded like pounding garlic, and was already describing what Pei Pei would look like when she wore this dress.
"Miss Xiaoyun has a good eye, this is the best of the small shop's boutiques." Shopkeeper Chen took the copper coin and looked up, and hurriedly took out the skirt carefully.
"The material of this dress is the latest fragrant cloud satin of the year, you see, how smooth and soft. There is also this embroidery, but it took half a month for the embroiderer to embroider, you take a closer look, how fine. "Mr. Chen spared no effort to sell.
"If you look at this color again, ordinary dyeing shops can't dye it like this."
Before he could elaborate, Yun Yao couldn't wait to reach out and take it.
Wow, it's super gorgeous! The bright red six-meter pendulum one-piece skirt is equipped with a wide black skirt, embroidered with colorful peony flowers with various colored threads, the skirt spreads out like a colorful cloud, and the bottom is also embroidered with the same peony.
The pair of narrow sleeves, the translucent large-sleeved shirt, and a long tie with a sense of drape, are all finely made, and you can't find the slightest flaw.
"I bought it, I bought it, this one is wrapped separately for me, it's best to have a high-end box, I'm going to give it away." Yun Yao forgot to ask the price. Anyway, with Fang Gongzi's orders, the shopkeeper didn't dare to pit her.
Even with the clothes and boxes, Yun Yao paid another 2 taels of silver. She couldn't put it down while holding the box, and she couldn't wait to go back and give it to Tang Peipei now.
When Da Niu heard that she was going to give away this dress, he secretly frowned. Didn't Xiaoyun say that he couldn't think of anything? How did you find the household registration documents in a few days, and now you have such a good friend?
He put his doubts in his heart and didn't say anything, just stood silently behind Yun Yao.
"Oh, I still have to go buy shoes, what can I do with so many things?" Yun Yao looked at the pile of things that she had accidentally defeated.
"Miss Xiaoyun, just go, the things will be placed in my store, when are you going to come and say, I will have someone help you deliver it all the way to the door." Shopkeeper Chen assured with a smile.
"Well, thank you." Yun Yao reluctantly put down the box and walked out with the big cow.
Qiyun Town is very small, there are only two intersections in total, even if she has only been here once, she will not get lost, and she walked to the shoe store with Da Niu at the moment.
"Isn't it boring to go shopping with me?" She looked at Da Niu embarrassedly.
"It's okay, you just buy it." Da Niu smiled warmly and deliberately protected her on the side of the road.
I came by ox cart today, and it was still early, so Yun Yao was not hungry, so she went directly to the shoe store. The shoe shop owner still remembered her, and when he saw her coming, he hurriedly let her in, and served them tea and water.
"What do you two want to buy today?"
"You take a look at this first." The bull took off the deerskin that he had been carrying.
"Ouch, good deerskin, do you want to sell it to a small shop or do you want to make your own shoes?" The boss hadn't received such a good deerskin for a long time, and he immediately couldn't put it down.
"Make two pairs yourself, and sell the rest to you." Da Niu replied.
"This one looks big, and there isn't much left after cutting two pairs of shoes. I'll give you 5 taels of silver for a skin, and the processing fee is 1 tael and a pair, and I'll give you 3 taels of silver if you make two pairs, what do you think? The boss's eyes rolled, and his heart was constantly calculating.
"Okay, she has a pair, I have a pair, make a half-height one." Da Niu didn't care about his little abacus, and Yun Yao didn't bother to care.
The two measured the size and said that they would take it after half a month, Da Niu took 3 taels of silver and bought a pair of shoes for Yun Yao, and the family also bought a pair, but they didn't buy their own. The boots on his feet were comfortable, and they could be worn for a few more months.
Except for the food that has not been bought, there is nothing else important, the two of them took their shoes to the grain shop, and when passing by the steamed bun shop, Yun Yao bought thirty large meat stuffed buns, and the owner of the steamed bun shop directly asked others to help watch the shop, and sent them three steamed buns to the grain store.
The two of them came by coincidence, everyone was buying the grain and signing and drawing it there, and the big cow also went to draw the pledge and moved the grain to the street with everyone to share the buns.
Everyone heard that it was Yun Yao who invited the guests and thanked her repeatedly, the women only took one each, and the rest of the men were divided, and a man named Shi went to return the cage drawer, and accompanied the big cow to the backyard of the restaurant to drive the ox cart over.
When we came, there was no food, and everyone could barely sit down, so what should we do when we go back?
Everyone discussed for a long time, and called Da Niu to catch the car, Ergouzi and Yun Yao sat in the car, and the others had to walk.
Yun Yao remembered the carriage that the shopkeeper Chen promised her, and hurriedly stopped everyone: "Wait, let's go to the Cloud Cutting Pavilion first, I bought some clothes and fabrics there, and the shopkeeper said that there was a car to send it." ”
Hearing her say this, Da Niu hurriedly jumped down from the ox cart and handed the whip to the stone: "Uncle, you drive the cart to the city gate and wait, I will accompany Xiaoyun on a trip." You go first, and I'll see how big the carriage is and how many people it can hold. ”
Everyone knew Da Niu's thoughts, and no one deliberately embarrassed him, so they left first with a smile, and the two walked to Qiyun Pavilion together.
Shopkeeper Chen had already moved Yun Yao's things into the carriage, the car was set, and he was waiting for her with his neck stretched, and when he saw that they were back, he hurriedly called the little guy over: "You send Miss Xiaoyun home, don't play on the road, come back early." She winked at him.
The young man had already been instructed to inquire into Yun Yao's residence, and hurriedly and politely let the two of them into the carriage, and then waved his whip and walked out of the city.
