Chapter 16: Pie in the Sky
Modern red clothes always look a little exaggerated, but in ancient times, these red ones were dark red, and they looked very solemn. Besides, seeing that the New Year is coming, it is naturally better to be more festive.
When the owner of the store saw the customer, he immediately took down the piece of cloth that Xu Tiantian had taken a fancy, put it in front of her, and let her take a good look, "This piece of cloth, twelve Wen!" β
Xu Tiantian touched the material, although it was not as good as those moire brocades, but it was also very soft, if you played some cotton, this winter would pass.
The price was the same as what she had asked about, but it would have been better if it could have been cheaper.
"Boss, you see that as soon as the Spring Festival passes, if you can't sell the fabric, you must press the goods, such patterns are replaced quickly, and they are still popular this year, and they will be out of gas next year, so you might as well sell them to me cheaper."
The boss saw Xu Tiantian bargaining, slapped the table with one hand, frowned, and began to complain, "Hey girl, my store is a small business, you have to let me make some money, I won't make money for you." β
Xu Tiantian shook her head gently, looking like she was about to leave with some regret, put down the cloth in her hand, and turned around as if she was about to leave.
"Heyββ, I really like this cloth, since it can't be cheap, and you can't let the boss lose it, just that, that's it!"
Seeing that the group was about to leave, the boss was naturally anxious, what Xu Tiantian said was unreasonable, if this cloth could not be sold, she would really lose money next year.
"Ahββ, girl, girl. I'm not the black-hearted boss, since the girl likes it, then the ten, I'll pay some of it, and it's going to be the Spring Festival soon, so it's a gift for you. β
While talking, he immediately wrapped the cloth, for fear that Xu Tiantian would regret it again.
Xu Tiantian turned around and smiled, rubbing her hands, her goal was achieved, "That little girl thanked the boss here first." β
As he spoke, he carefully counted the twenty-four coins from his arms and put them on the counter, "Boss, wrap it up with the blue one, and I want it too." β
The proprietress counted the money seriously, turned around hurriedly, and quickly put the cloth into Xuanye's back basket, and did not forget to instruct Xu Tiantian before going out, "If you need cloth again in the future, you must come here to take care of my business." β
"Okay!"
Xu Tiantian nodded and responded happily.
The group bought cotton again, and some individual things. Xuan Ye glanced at Shen Qi, Shen Qi immediately covered his stomach, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he seemed to be in pain.
"Miss Xu, people have three urgencies, my stomach hurts, can you wait, I'll let me go for convenience."
There was a tea stall just in front of him, Xu Tiantian nodded, and put the back basket on the ground, "Let's rest here first, you go and come back quickly." β
Shen Qimeng nodded violently, and left like wind under his feet.
Xu Tiantian took out a paper bag from her arms, "Xiaoshi is not hungry, my sister left you two meat buns for you to eat." β
Xu Zehan drowned a mouthful of saliva, and a meat bun was divided into three parts, "Sister, you eat, Brother Xuan eats." β
Xu Tiantian shook her head with a smile in her eyes, "Xiaoshi is growing his body now, so I have to eat more, my sister is not hungry." β
Xu Zehan turned to Xuan Ye again, Xuan Ye naturally wouldn't grab something to eat with a child, "Little stone eats, Brother Xuan doesn't like meat." β
Xu Tiantian turned her head to look, and the meaning in her eyes was a little unclear.
Don't like meat?
I'm afraid that those crabs and seafood have fallen into his stomach, and he can lie to children so justifiably.
Shen Qi was in a hurry again, and he didn't know where it came from.
After resting, the weather is a little colder, it is easy to get dark early, the road is not very easy to walk, and they have to go back early.
"Hey, girl, girl. Today, you are lucky, a rich man came to a rich and noble house at noon, saying that it was about to be winter, and he wanted to prepare clothes for the people in the family, and I did not have enough cloth in this cloth shop, so see if you can sell those two horses to me again, and I will buy them back for ten taels of silver. β
When the group returned the same way, they passed by the shop where they bought cloth in the morning, and the proprietress seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and she was busy tugging on Xu Tiantian's sleeve.
Xu Tiantian's eyes widened, and this kind of operation?
"You sold me all this thing, boss, where is there any reason to take it back, not to mention that I also paid the money."
The proprietress smiled with a smile on her face, "That's what the girl said, but we can't afford to offend this rich and noble family." This person is in a hurry, and I can only make this decision. Girl, forgive me, forgive me! β
Xuan Ye stepped forward and gently tugged Xu Tiantian's sleeve, "Tiantian, there is still some time before the winter, and it's too late for us to buy cloth again, why don't we give her the cloth first?" and twenty taels of silver. β
Xu Tiantian pondered, it seemed to be the same thing.
