Uncle Xie was about to take a trip to the town halfway, afraid that Ji Yu would be in a hurry, so he asked her if she wanted to take the car of other people in the same village to go back first.

Ji Yu had just earned the silver and needed to buy some things, so she originally wanted to go back to Xie Jiagou first and then go to the town with Widow Xie, so that she could go back to Dafeng Village directly after buying things.

But looking at the sun hanging diagonally on the mountainside, and afraid that there would not be enough time, he offered to go to the town with him.

After getting along for half a day, it can be seen that Uncle Xie is a down-to-earth person, so he doesn't have to worry about the problem of not revealing his wealth.

When he arrived in the town, Uncle Xie went to the blacksmith shop to repair the farming guys, and Ji Yu went to North Street.

Seven things to open the door, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, she lacked everything but firewood, so she went to the grain and oil shop first.

Oil and salt are relatively expensive, but as a necessity of life, they are not expensive.

Four catties of soybean oil are one hundred and sixty Wen, four catties of refined salt are more than sixty Wen, I originally wanted to buy some soy sauce vinegar, but I was surprised when I asked the price, and these two things together cost four or five hundred Wen!

The young man also said with a look of anger that this thing was new and fashionable in Beijing, and ordinary people couldn't eat it, so they had to get it to Juyong Town to sell it.

Ji Yu was secretly puzzled, as far as she knew, vinegar appeared very early in history, although it was indeed a luxury item for the nobility at first, but it had begun to become common in the Song Dynasty.

She originally felt that all the things in this era were closer to the Song and Ming dynasties, and it seemed that there was something different after all.

In the guy's gushing introduction, Ji Yu opened the cylinder head and looked at it, the color was not correct, and she got closer and smelled it, and the taste was not mellow. I dispelled the idea of buying and paid directly.

Although the guy was a little disappointed, he still settled the account with a smile on his face.

Next to the grain and oil shop is the rice and noodle shop.

It is common for northerners to eat wheat milled noodles and small yellow rice than rice, so the price of noodles is not much cheaper than rice, rice is eight yuan a catty, and noodles are six yuan a catty. Ji Yu bought two buckets of rice noodles each, and spent a total of 280 yuan.

I was happy when I bought it, but I was dumbfounded after buying it, how can I get so many things back? At this moment, Ji Yu missed the shopping cart in her previous life.

"I'll help you, where are these things going to be delivered?" The young man from the grain and oil shop saw that she was standing on the street and was in trouble, so he asked her through the counter.

What a man! Ji Yu hurriedly told him the address.

The young man turned around and went to the backyard that connected with the shop, and in a moment he pushed a wheelbarrow out, moved everything to the cart, and pushed it away.

"Huh?" Ji Yu called out to him and pointed to the shop.

The door of the shop is not closed, he just goes to help him deliver things, will there be a problem?

"Don't worry! I know everyone around me, and they help watch. There are no guests in this big night, and I won't tell you that I entered one of your shops in half a day. ”

The young man was happy, talking all the way. I used to think that he was just talking so much to sell things, but then I realized that he was a chatter at all, but an enthusiastic and unobnoxious chatterbox.

Passing a cloth village, the young man stopped.

"You're not going to buy cloth, this one is better."

Seeing that he was very familiar with all aspects of the town, Ji Yu asked him about it, and originally thought of sending these things to the blacksmith shop and coming back to buy them, but he didn't expect this person to be enthusiastic about this.

Ji Yu is not a twisted character, so she thanked her and walked into Buzhuang quickly.

The cloth village is not big, the variety is also very monotonous, half of the shelves in a row against the wall are displayed with fine cloth and cotton cloth, and the rest is mostly coarse cloth and kudzu linen, which are relatively economical fabrics.

Silk satin is not nothing, it only occupies a corner of the container, and it is covered with a layer of light yarn to protect it. I also know that this kind of precious thing can only be eaten in the county seat, and in the countryside, the market is not as good as coarse linen.

Generally speaking, silk has the highest price, followed by cotton, and hemp. I asked the shopkeeper about it, and sure enough. A large silk tack costs six pieces of silver, and a horse of muslin cloth is four hundred yuan, and a horse of burlap can be bought for one hundred and fifty yuan.

A piece of cloth is about thirteen meters long, and it can make six or seven sets of clothes. Ji Yu asked for three burlap and two muslin cloths, and the shopkeeper saw that she was a big customer, and he was busy leading her to the container covered with light yarn.

Ji Yu shook her head, she is now a small village girl, and wearing a silk silk satin is too eye-catching, no different from hanging ingots around her neck to swagger through the market.

But she remembered that there was one more thing she hadn't bought.

"Shopkeeper, do you have cotton for sale in this store?"

The shopkeeper clapped his hands: "Why not!" I just received it in autumn, it's clean and peaceful, I don't believe you're coming to see it. ”

The shopkeeper lifted the curtain and led her into a room in the backyard, where half a room of cotton was piled up. Ji Yu touched it with her hand, it was indeed not aged cotton.

Winter is coming, and the quilt and bedding always need two beds to facilitate drying, and they can also be covered in cold weather. There are also two sets of cotton clothes.

After calculating, it takes almost thirty catties of cotton, and for the sake of insurance, Ji Yu decided to buy fifty catties, and it is better to have more than not enough when you use it. However, cotton is not cheap, and it costs 40 wen per catty.

After buying cotton, it is natural to buy quilts, quilt surfaces and bed sheets, considering that the problem of changing and washing must be two sets, plus the money for buying cloth before, nearly four taels of silver were given out at once, Ji Yu was careful and trembled.

I had to comfort myself in my heart, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, let's convert, it's just over 1,000 yuan, but it's only more than 1,000 yuan...... Nothing more.

When he came out of the cloth village, he cut three catties of pork and ten catties of lard on the pork shop, and the pork was eighteen wen a catty, and the lard was cheaper than twelve wen.

Plate oil is the thickest layer of fat on the pig's belly, and the most common thing that Zhuang households eat is the fat boiled with plate oil. Compared with the slightly more expensive soybean oil, lard is more forbidden to eat, so there are basically two oil jars on the stove of each house, one for vegetable oil and one for meat oil.

I almost bought everything I should have bought, and when I arrived at the door of the blacksmith shop, Uncle Xie happened to come out.

"I'm going to look for you, I'll help you...... So much stuff! ”

The wheelbarrow was narrow, so it was piled up like a hill, and Uncle Xie and the little man carried things to the mule cart together, and visually it looked half less than just now.

The young man wiped his sweat and pushed the wheelbarrow to leave.

Seeing this, Ji Yu hurriedly shouted to him: "Thank you for your help today, thank you so much, or I will invite you to tea......

The young man scratched the back of his head: "No, no thanks! No hassle...... I'm going back to see the shop...... It would be good if you patronized our store more in the future. ”

Whenever Ji Yu thanked him, he would show this kind of smile, which was not at all like the cleverness when doing business, but it made people laugh.

When I entered the blacksmith shop, Uncle Xie picked out all the pots, knives, spoons and shovels. A large iron pot costs 900 yuan, a kitchen knife is 80 yuan, and a spatula and spoon are 60 yuan.

Ji Yu had to sigh with emotion - the industrial products of the agricultural society are really expensive!

I gave the money to the blacksmith, and bought dishes, wooden basins for washing my face and feet, and daily necessities such as toothbrushes and tooth powder from the grocery store opposite.
