With the money in his hand, he has confidence in his heart, and the task of quiet at the moment is to buy, buy, buy, after all, there is nothing in this house.

This purchase is also divided into priorities, and the first stop is, of course, the grain store. If there is food in this house, I don't panic, and this food is the most important thing. Moreover, there is only a bowl of cornmeal and a bowl of millet left at home, and if you don't buy food back, the family will be cut off.

After entering the grain store, she looked around, looked at the price again, and made up her mind in her quiet heart, she couldn't afford to buy fine rice noodles, so she could only buy what was cheaper. I bought 20 catties of cornmeal, 20 catties of sorghum flour, 20 catties of coarse noodles, and 10 catties of millet. Looking at the white rice with white flowers and shiny flowers, Quiet really misses the big white rice, but the money in his pocket is limited, and he wants to eat rice? Alas, the coming day will be long. For the sake of rice, I have to work hard, too!

"This cornmeal is five pounds a pound, twenty pounds and one hundred pounds. Sorghum flour is three pounds, twenty pounds and sixty pounds. Rough noodles are eight pounds a pound, twenty pounds are one hundred and sixty pounds. Millet is ten pounds a pound, ten pounds are one hundred pounds. That's four hundred and twenty in total. The shopkeeper of the grain store was also unambiguous, and he reported a string of numbers cracklingly, and he was penniless.

With the correct guide to buying things, a quiet bargain with the shopkeeper, in the end, it was still four hundred and twenty wen. Because there was no money for the cloth bags containing the grain.

Put the grain in the back basket and tie it to the cart, and push the cart to the grocery store. I bought two wooden basins, one large and one small that can be used to wash clothes and faces, I bought three stoneware pots, which are used to wash vegetables and rice, I bought four coarse porcelain plates, I bought two large bowls for vegetables, I bought four small bowls for eating, I bought a large kitchen knife with a new tile, one large and one small two rolling pins, I bought a wooden pot lid, I bought two jars for pickles, a bag of salt, an oil lamp, half a catty of lamp oil, a few window papers, a large oil cloth, and Linlin spent a total of 500 Wen The boss saw that he bought a lot. A wooden comb and a small bronze mirror were also given.

Out of the grocery store, the small cart was already full. The last stop on the quiet is Fuzhuang.

There are women in the cloth house who are picking and inspecting the fabrics, and the proprietress in her thirties behind the counter is selling her fabrics to customers. Ni came into the store dressed in tattered silence, and there was no lightness on his face. Quietly looking at the colorful fabrics on the counter, there are good quality and dependent. Okay, she didn't dare to think about it, at least for the time being, they couldn't afford to wear it. I can only pick some cheap and sturdy ones to buy.

Quietly said to the proprietress behind the counter: "Boss, this brown coarse kudzu cloth will give me fifteen feet, the azure cotton cloth will be fifteen feet, the light blue cotton cloth will be fifteen feet, this white muslin cloth will give me thirty feet, and then give me thirty catties of cotton" Thinking of going out, the second sister told her with peace of mind that if she sold the money to buy her some handkerchiefs and embroidery threads, she said to the proprietress again: "Give me a lock of embroidery thread of various colors, and take five more plain handkerchiefs." ”

The proprietress stood behind the counter, listening to the quiet opening of her mouth to report this string, and her mouth was crooked with happiness. Hurriedly took the abacus and began to settle the accounts: "Coarse Gebu is five cents for one foot, fifteen feet and seventy-five cents." This cheesecloth is eight cents a foot, azure plus light blue, a total of thirty feet, that is, two hundred and forty wen. The white muslin cloth is ten cents a foot, and a total of thirty feet is three hundred cents. This cloth is the best to wear as a lining, strong and soft. As for cotton, it was originally sold for 30 wen a catty, but this is last year's old cotton, I will count you 25 wen a catty, 30 catties, 750 wen, a total of 50 wen for all kinds of embroidery thread, and 50 wen for handkerchief. That's a total of 1,465 texts. I will collect you a whole thousand four hundred and sixty articles. The girl bought a lot, I will give you another bag of cloth, I see that you did not take a furoshiki or anything, and then give you a big furoshiki, so that the cloth bags will not be dirty. "I thought it was shabby, but I didn't expect it to be generous. In one breath, I bought so much, unlike those women just now, who looked around and looked around, but they didn't buy at all. It's bad luck to think about it, or this girl is generous, it seems that this person really can't just look at the surface.

"Boss, I bought so much, you have to give me a discount, or I won't come next time" Quiet in line with the attitude of being able to cut a penny, the proprietress of the same class talked about the price, who made her poor now? It's a point to be able to cut a point.

The proprietress listened to what she said quietly, and said with a smile: "Girl, let's do it, since you have opened your mouth, I can't call you vain, can I?" You can give me 1,450 went. Auntie, I erased ten articles for you! I can buy a foot of muslin cloth for these ten wenties, but I can't be less, and if I don't have any less, I'll pay for it! ”

"Well, since my aunt said that I can't do it any less, then I won't tell you about it, 1,450 wen is 1,450 wen, but my aunt wants to give these to me," he said quietly, pointing to half a bag of yellowed old cotton and a piece of cloth piled on the ground in the corner of the shop. As soon as Jing Jing came in, he found these things, the cotton was old cotton, already yellowed, and it was all small pieces, not the kind of big ones. As for the cloth, it was still a muslin cloth, and when I looked at it quietly, there were holes in it that had been swallowed by mice, and I thought it would not be sold. But in her quiet heart, she had other plans, she bought so much cotton, she planned to make quilts, but she hadn't bought the fabric for quilts yet? This cloth is the best for preparation, those holes are nothing in the quiet, she has a skillful second sister at home!

The proprietress looked in the direction that Jing Jing pointed to, and it turned out to be sorted out when cleaning up the warehouse, half a bag of old cotton, and a muslin cloth that had been swallowed by mice. The proprietress thought about it, and if she topped the sky, she would sell it for twenty or thirty yuan, so it would be better to send a personal favor and attract such a generous customer, wouldn't it?

In this way, the quiet cart had half a bag of old cotton and a piece of muslin. This doesn't let the heart be tinkered with, keep it for the back, so that cotton can be used to make shoes, anyway, it is useful.

The carts are stacked high, that's it, and there is a big burden behind the quiet. In fact, I don't want to buy so much at once, but I really lack everything at home! When I passed by the meat beach, I was quiet, and I bought five catties of fatty meat, and I also took the boss to build two big bones. The silence at this time was actually hungry, because she had walked for more than an hour in the morning and pushed so many old things, and now it was almost noon, so it was no wonder that she was not hungry. Smelling the aroma of food coming from the stall, her stomach growled, but she still gritted her teeth. Half of the money she had received in the morning had already been spent, and she had to save the rest, and she had to save enough money to start a house before the rainy season came.

Thinking of her younger siblings waiting for her at home, she walked home quietly and briskly. So there was such a strange scene in Zhoujia Town: a twenty-eight-year-old girl wearing tattered clothes, carrying a big burden, pushing a mule-like high cart like a hill, walking forward with a resolute face...
