032 Shopping
The next day was a rare leisure time after they crossed over, and how nostalgic it was to sleep until they woke up naturally.
Chen Xiaoshu looked at the shriveled facial cleanser skin and was a little worried, the water milk had long been used up, and now the facial cleanser was almost used up, but his cosmetics were useless at all, mainly because there was no use when he went out to do business every day.
Fortunately, there was still half a tube of toothpaste left, otherwise they would have to brush their teeth with green salt.
As for combing her hair, after consulting Aunt Laifu, she only learned the simplest hairstyle, which is to use a hairpin to cross her hair.
According to the custom of Bactria in Bactria, a married woman should have all her hair coiled, and an unmarried woman should have a part of it scattered.
Therefore, Chen Xiaoshu's current hairstyle is to leave half of it, and fix part of the hair on it with a hairpin, a bit like the half-pill head of later generations.
As for the hairpin, she only has one wooden hairpin so far.
After washing, the two walked slowly to the entrance of the village.
"Xiao Shu, don't do business today?"
The dog's sister-in-law asked when she saw the two of them with the laundry tub.
Xiao Shu smiled and said, "Yes, today is a day off." ”
When they arrived at the entrance of the village, Uncle Dashan's donkey cart was still parked there, and there were already three people in the cart.
After they got in the car, everyone's eyes were on them, and they had changed too much during this time.
first split up, then started a business, and finally even Chen Linxiao, who had been sick, was in good health.
Now many old people are saying, is it that the feng shui of the Chen family's old house is not good, or Chen Xiaoshu and Chen Linxiao will come out smoothly, and even their bodies will be better?
Chen Linxiao had a good conversation with the other two men in the car, and Chen Xiaoshu and the daughter-in-law of Noble in the car also had a good conversation.
Soon they arrived in the town, told Uncle Dashan that they didn't have to wait for them today, and the two walked to the West Market.
I come to the West Market every day, but if I want to say that I have a good stroll, I really haven't experienced it.
The two went to Buzhuang first, and until now, Chen Xiaoshu is still wearing the two clothes that he asked Aunt Laifu to make last time, and Chen Linxiao is also wearing old clothes in the Chen family.
Now that I have some money in my hand, I naturally can't wronged myself anymore.
It is now the beginning of August, and autumn is about to begin, and the proprietress of the cloth village is taking the young man to put on the heavy autumn cloth.
The proprietress was in her early thirties, and when she saw the guests come in and put down the cloth in her hand, she greeted warmly: "The guests are here, see what cloth you want, it's not me bragging, this cloth village in Qingniu Town, there is no one that can compare with my family's cloth quality and color." ”
The proprietress said and picked up a water-red sermon and said: "Look at this little lady, this is the goods we came in from the big dyeing workshop in the provincial capital, and we just arrived yesterday, how bright the color is." ”
Chen Xiaoshu looked at it, this water red color is indeed very good-looking, gaudy but not vulgar, and when he touched it, it was also quite thick.
"How do you sell this cloth?"
Chen Xiaoshu asked.
Seeing that the business was expected to be completed, the proprietress said more enthusiastically: "This cloth came in from the big dyeing workshop in the provincial capital, but we are the only one in Qingniu Town, and it costs eighty wen and one foot." ”
Chen Xiaoshu was shocked when he heard this, if he came down in a dress, he would not be able to write six or seven hundred words.
Chen Linxiao saw that this color was really good-looking, and said directly to the proprietress: "Please ask my sister-in-law to cut the fabric for a dress." ”
The proprietress nodded again and again, looked at Chen Xiaoshu's figure, knew it, picked up the big scissors and cut them.
Then Chen Xiaoshu picked out another light blue cloth, bought blue and dark blue cloth for Chen Linxiao, and bought a lot of white cotton cloth, and finally settled the bill, which cost 1,400 yuan.
No wonder every household is reluctant to make new clothes, this price is really not cheap, it is equivalent to ordinary people, this is simply, earning the money of migrant workers, spending the consumption level of gold collars, who can withstand this.
When he was about to go out, Chen Xiaoshu looked at a corner and saw some handkerchiefs embroidered with flowers in the corner of the counter.
The proprietress saw that she was interested, took out the handkerchief and said: "These are all sent by the embroidery lady nearby, and they are sold in our shop. ”
Chen Xiaoshu is indeed very interested in handkerchiefs, mainly because he has watched too many TV series before, and the young ladies one by one are holding handkerchiefs and smiling slightly, which is really a thousand styles.
And she was also very interested in the flowers embroidered on the handkerchief, at first she thought that the ancient women would embroider one by one, but slowly she knew.
Embroidery, which is a time-consuming and thread-consuming thing, is only done by the ladies of the rich landlord's family, and the ordinary women of the bank's family can sew and mend, cut clothes, and make shoes is enough.
Chen Xiaoshu took the handkerchief in the proprietress and picked it up.
The proprietress also explained on the side: "There are not many people who will be good embroiderers in Qingniu Town, and there are only a few embroiderers who go back and forth, and it takes time to do embroidery work, and the women of the Zhuang family can't do it, this embroidery is precious, if you have calluses on your hands, you can no longer do embroidery work." ”
After a while, Chen Xiaoshu picked out two handkerchiefs, one was embroidered with lotus flowers on silk material, and the other was an ordinary cotton cloth embroidered with a cute kitten fluttering butterfly.
Especially the kitten fluttering butterfly is very much liked by Chen Xiaoshu, and the expression of this kitten always reminds her of the cuteness of those cat owners in later generations.
The proprietress sorted out the rest of the handkerchief and said: "The material of this piece of silk is rare, it costs fifteen yuan, and this cotton cloth, you can give ten yuan." ”
Chen Linxiao skillfully took out his wallet, counted out twenty-five coins and handed it to the proprietress.
The proprietress smiled and said: "The little lady is so blessed, this must be your future husband, so know how to hurt people." ”
Chen Xiaoshu nodded generously and said, "Yes, eldest sister." ”
After coming out of Buzhuang, Chen Xiaoshu pulled Chen Linxiao into the silver building again.
When the man saw that they were dressed shabby, but the man was carrying a lot of fabric, he guessed that he might have come to buy the jewelry that the marriage wanted, so he warmly invited them to the counter.
"I don't know what jewelry the two of you want, hairpins, earrings, bracelets, we have everything in our house."
Chen Xiaoshu looked at the earrings and studs, hairpins and bracelets placed on the counter, most of them were silver, and some were gold.
Chen Linxiao pointed to the silver hairpin of a rose inside and said, "Take out that hairpin and let's take a look." ”
The guy took out the hairpin, Chen Linxiao looked at it and asked, "How is it?" Do you like it?"
Chen Xiaoshu looked at it, this hairpin is not big, and there is a budding rose carved on her head, which is exactly the style she likes, so she nodded.
"Wrap this up."
Chen Linxiao said.
"Okay." The young man smiled and took out a small wooden box and put the silver hairpin in it.
Chen Xiaoshu picked another pair of silver cloves and a pair of gold cloves, Chen Linxiao also wanted her to buy a pair of bracelets to wear, but Chen Xiaoshu refused without hesitation.
Look at your wrist, it's skinny, you will definitely have to fall off when you put it on, maybe you will lose it, how distressing it is.
A hairpin, two pairs of earrings cost a total of more than five taels of silver.
