Chapter 419: Buying New Year's Goods
The day before Chinese New Year's Eve, Gu Anning set off early, although Qiu Yue ordered people to purchase things in the mansion, but some things still need to be done by themselves, and they can also experience the fun.
Sitting in the carriage, Gu Anning set off directly. Many people in the village also got on the ox cart, and they all planned to go to the town to buy some good things for the New Year's Festival.
When they saw the carriage belonging to Gu Anning, their eyes were full of gratitude.
If it weren't for her, I was afraid that my family would have a miserable time this winter, let alone go shopping for New Year's goods now.
After spending some time in the town, Gu Anning directly chose to walk.
Lu Dacheng, who was in charge of driving the carriage, led the horse and followed behind, and Gu Anning, who was walking, looked at the things around him, and he was thinking about what he wanted to buy.
In the New Year's Festival, candy is the most indispensable, and Gu Anning went to the candy shop with great interest.
Before she came to the candy shop, Gu Anning smelled a sweet and greasy smell.
Gu Anning doesn't like this sweet and greasy taste very much, but she can take it out to greet guests, and she can also distribute it to her subordinates.
When I came to the shop, the business of this candy shop was very good, and there were a lot of people in front of the candy inside and outside.
Gu Anning came to the candy shop and entered it directly, Qiu Yue followed closely behind him, and Lu Dacheng was also watching the carriage outside.
Entering the shop, Gu Anning's eyes browsed the candy on the half-human-high shelf.
Gu Anning, who was quite curious about ancient sweets, stretched out her hand and pinched a piece of candy, and did not forget to use a little strength in her hand.
The candy wrapped in oiled paper is very soft, and it is gently pinched out several shapes, and then it returns to its original shape, which is quite Q-bomby.
Afterwards, Gu Anning took a curious look at several other kinds of candies, and she found that there were actually hard candies in them, which was really unusual.
"Boss, how do you sell these candies?" Gu Anning pointed to the candy on the shelf and asked.
She was afraid that she would mix up the different prices of sugar for a while, and then she would have to separate them again.
The boss, who took a little spare time from his busy schedule, pointed to the only six kinds of candy in his shop, and said, "This is osmanthus candy, forty yuan a catty." This is halva, fifty dollars a catty. There is also this fried rice candy, twenty-five dollars a catty. This sesame candy costs 60 yuan a catty.
There is also this sour sugar, eighteen dollars a catty. Finally, there is this apple candy, forty dollars a pound. Girl, if you want to sell it, you can use these folded oiled paper to weigh the guy. ”
After the shopkeeper hurriedly finished the introduction, he began to work again. Let herself take it freely, which is exactly what she wants.
However, the price of these candies is really expensive, no wonder she has not seen a child take out candy to eat in so long since she has been here.
But think about it, sugar was a rarity in ancient times, and it was hard to think of other ingredients that were also expensive in ancient times.
Bringing the oiled paper pocket prepared by the boss in advance, Gu Anning began to pick up the candy.
For every candy, Gu Anning was loaded with about three catties, which added up to eighteen catties.
After filling the candy she wanted, Gu Anning took a few more boxes of pastries, and then went to check out.
Now that she doesn't need to carry the money with her, she buys things by herself, and Qiu Yue, who has become the housekeeper who manages the income of the family, naturally stands behind her and pays.
After settling the bill, Gu Anning asked Lu Dacheng to carry all the candy and snacks he bought into the carriage.
Leaving the candy shop, Gu Anning bought some more red paper on the street, and then added some things, including looking for firecrackers.
Then I went to a ready-to-wear shop and bought myself and Xiaobaozi a more festive ready-to-wear dress.
At noon, Gu Anning didn't go back, because she hadn't finished buying the things she wanted to buy during the New Year's Festival.
After a hasty lunch in a restaurant, Gu Anning ordered some very good roast chicken and roast duck from the bosses everywhere, and there were also some live chickens and ducks.
What was taken out of the house was only a few pheasants, two nests, and the other three were far from enough for the New Year's Festival. Therefore, these two things naturally need to be ordered more.
In addition, Gu Anning also ordered a lot of pork, which he needed to use when he went to the ceremony.
In the end, Gu Anning did not forget to buy some oil paper and some ingots and candles that were needed to worship the ancestors.
After preparing these, Gu Anning went home satisfied.
After eating dinner, watching that the day was coming to an end again, she remembered that Jun Beimo had said that she would come back to spend the New Year with her, and she had both expectations and disappointments in her heart.
The day is coming to an end, but I still haven't seen him appear, so it's inevitable that I'm a little disappointed.
In the middle of the night, two wagons drove into the village at a rapid pace, braving the cold wind that scraped the bones.
Jun Beimo's deep eyes in the carriage flashed brightly, and he was very excited in his heart. Soon, soon I will be able to see her, see the one who makes me think about her day and night.
In the carriage behind, the old butler with heavy dark circles on his eyes was tired all the way, but his spirit was still good.
Although he had heard from the prince that the place where the future princess would be located was a little remote, he didn't expect it to be so remote.
But along the way, the environment here is really good.
Moreover, he also heard the prince talk about his identity in this mansion, and his identity is a cousin young master, and he doesn't need to call him the prince, just call him the young master.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart.
The sound of the carriage quickly aroused the vigilance of several dogs in the village, and then they all barked wildly, and woke up many people.
Jun Beimo, who was heartfelt, pursed his thin lips, the heart in his chest was beating rapidly, and every time he beat, he seemed to be able to hear the sound.
In anticipation, the carriage stopped in front of a mansion.
Jun Er stepped forward to knock on the door, and Jun Beimo in the carriage quickly got out of the carriage under the curtain of the secret guard.
In a subordinate room closest to the door, Chen Fengshou was woken up by the sound of banging on the door.
Unexpectedly, someone would come in the middle of the night, so he quickly put on his clothes and walked out to open the door.
The moment he opened the door, he saw the people outside the door, his face showed joy, and the sleepiness he had just gotten up disappeared.
"Young Master Cousin, you're here, please come in."
Chen Fengshou, who was overjoyed with joy on his face, hurriedly opened the door of the courtyard and welcomed them in.
Gu Anning, who had already fallen asleep in the room, heard the noise outside and immediately guessed who it was, she put on her robe and opened the door and walked out.
