Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Magnificent Skirt
Wen Ning walked through several streets under the leadership of An Yingling, and finally came to the cloth village that An Yingling said.
After entering the store, the shopkeeper immediately greeted him with a smile, "You two, what clothes do you want to buy?" ”
Wen Ning was not used to being followed, so she politely refused, "Boss, let's just see for ourselves." ”
The boss was a middle-aged woman, she smiled and nodded, and then consciously stood behind the two, not far from them.
Wen Ning pointed ahead and said, "Yingling, what do you think of the white skirt?" ”
An Yingling glanced at it and was startled, "That's silk, it's extremely expensive." ”
Wen Ning asked curiously, "How expensive?" ”
"You prepare yourself mentally." An Yingling patted Wen Ning's shoulder, "It might scare you." ”
Wen Ning snorted lightly, "How come, I also earn a lot of money." ”
An Yingling smiled, turned her head and asked the boss behind her, "Boss, how much is this dress?" ”
"This is all the most expensive clothes in our store, it costs thirteen taels."
"Thirteen taels?" Wen Ning was indeed taken aback, "Why is it so expensive?" ”
An Yingling glanced at Wen Ning, "That's silk, it's not the linen we wear, if it's high-quality silk, the price is far more than that!" ”
Wen Ning covered her face helplessly and sighed, "It seems that I'm still too young." ”
An Yingling bared her teeth and smiled, "What about the income you just said is not expensive? ”
Wen Ning feigned anger and twisted An Yingling's arm lightly, "It's me who swelled, I didn't expect that the clothes worn by rich people are more than a dozen or two." ”
"When do you think we will be like those rich people, a dress is more than a dozen taels, how rich are they?" As she spoke, An Yingling couldn't help sighing, "I'm afraid I won't have this hope for the rest of my life." ”
"Yes." Wen Ning patted An Yingling's shoulder, "When my business grows bigger, I hope it will be big." ”
"You said you were earning a lot of money! It turned out to be a slap in the face, right? ”
Wen Ning hurriedly pointed to a piece of clothing in front of the left, "That dress doesn't seem to be bad." ”
An Yingling smiled, not exposing Wen Ning's careful intention to change the topic.
The two chattered in the store for a long time, and finally chose the clothes they wanted, originally An Yingling had no intention of buying clothes, but she couldn't help it when she looked at it, and finally bought one.
After buying clothes, Wen Ning and Sister An Ying parted ways and went home separately.
Wen Ning went to find Da Na first, at this time Da Na had already closed the stall, sat on the side of the road and waited, Wen Ning saw this, and couldn't help blaming himself, he should let Da Na go home first.
Seeing Wen Ning, he was carrying a bulky wooden barrel, but he seemed to be very happy, and hurriedly ran to Wen Ning.
"Second aunt, I sold out all the lo-mei today."
Wen Ning finally understood why Da Wei was so happy, presumably because she sold out all the lo-mei for the first time, and she was proud from the bottom of her heart.
"It's amazing." Wen Ning touched Da Yao's head, "What do you want to eat?" The second aunt rewards you and lets you choose. ”
"No, no, I'm very happy to be able to help my second aunt sell her things." Da Yi said as he handed Wen the silver taels he received today, "I counted it just now, and I probably earned one hundred and thirty-two Wen today." ”
Wen Ning took the silver taels, took out fifty wen from them, and then handed the remaining silver taels back to Da Wei, "The second aunt only takes fifty wen, and you keep the rest." ”
Da Yi refused to answer, kept shaking his head and said, "I don't need it, I sold it for my second aunt, I don't need it." ”
"Fool, if you want to keep some savings for yourself, how can you work for others in vain."
Da Yi thought about it, took the fifty yuan that Wen Ning counted out, and pushed the rest back.
"I'll take fifty wen, fifty wen is fine."
"Okay."
"By the way, second aunt, I feel that I can prepare a little more lo-mei every day, and it won't be long after noon today that the lo-mei will be sold out."
"Okay, do a little more tomorrow."
Wen Ning returned home with Da Yao, and when it was time for dinner, everything was still calm, and Wen Ning was eating dinner with relish.
Liu suddenly said to Xu, "Mother, I have something I want to tell you." ”
Xu glanced up at Liu and responded, "What do you say?" ”
"Mother, from tomorrow, I want to work in the town's textile room." Liu hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed deeply, "I want to make some money for myself, Jianwu and I are penniless, and we really have no confidence in this family, we plan to make some money for our own use." ”
"Liu Chunxiang, do you want to break the rules?" Xu slapped the chopsticks on the table, "How many times have I said that you want to hand over all your money to me, and you still want to keep it for yourself?" When I'm dead? ”
Liu's full name is Liu Chunxiang, her eyes turned red instantly, and her crying voice also jumped out, "The first to break the rules is Wen Ning, not me, how much private money she hid, that day she took out five taels of silver at once, she didn't know how many five taels she still hid, and Jianwu and I were completely penniless, I regret it, I regret listening to you too much for so many years." ”
When Wen Ning heard this, she couldn't help frowning, this was going to trouble her.
