014 Advance of the itinerary
"If Aunt Caifeng likes it, she will often come to me to eat in the future." was praised for his good craftsmanship, Qu Xiaoqi was naturally very happy in his heart.
The little girl's name is Zeng Miaoya, and now she is also much more enthusiastic with Qu Xiaoqi, and she continued: "Can I also come to dinner later?" ”
"Absolutely."
For Zeng Miaoya, Qu Xiaoqi still has a good impression in his heart, this little girl is eccentric, just over ten years old, she can shock a group of villagers to this point, which is really extraordinary.
Qu Xiaoqi was most curious about her was the technique of changing her appearance and aging.
Lin Caifeng didn't expect Qu Xiaoqi to add messy things to the dish, and the fried taste was so delicious, so he continued to send food to his mouth while being polite.
Fortunately, Qu Xiaoqi made a pot of rice, which was enough for everyone to eat. It's Ah Qing himself, so he ate half of it.
This amount of food frightened Butcher Zhang, and he sighed that people with natural divine power were different.
If it weren't for Qu Xiaoqi's room not being big enough, Zeng Miaoya would have wanted to live here.
She finally had a friend to talk to, and she didn't want to go back to her dark, damp and lonely nest.
Everyone who ate the meal was rubbing their bulging stomachs and burping.
Lin Caifeng was a little embarrassed, but she didn't expect that she would be able to eat at someone else's house.
Qu Xiaoqi didn't have any ideas, if it was other women in the village, they would definitely be disliked because the guests ate too much.
Sensing that Qu Xiaoqi's face was not the slightest different, and even a little satisfied after eating and drinking, Lin Caifeng put her mind at ease, and her good impression of Qu Xiaoqi in her heart was even greater.
She really couldn't imagine that someone like Qu's eldest daughter-in-law could raise a down-and-out child like Qu Xiaoqi.
Maybe Qu Xiaoqi inherited the temperament of his biological parents, so he will be like this.
A few people got together and chatted for a while before leaving, and Qu Xiaoqi also began to prepare the things to be bought in the city tomorrow.
Cloth, seasonings, and vegetable seeds, these are the things that need to be taken care of.
Fortunately, the country does not change much throughout the year, and even in winter, a set of quilts can survive.
Qu Xiaoqi couldn't figure out whether it was a difficult life here or a difficult life before.
There are no entertainment facilities or electronics at all.
The cruel reality hit Qu Xiaoqi on the head again, making her lie on the hard and cold bed and unable to sleep for a long time.
In a trance, she seemed to feel an arm pressed against her, and then she fell asleep.
When he got up the next day, it was not yet completely bright, Qu Xiaoqi got up and cooked some simple batter, and steamed a few more wowotou.
Wowotou mixed with some white flour, all cornmeal, was too difficult for Qu Xiaoqi to swallow.
These are their dry food for noon, and the last time he went to the city, Qu Xiaoqi found that many people brought their home-made things and found a random place to fill their stomachs.
This method is really suitable for a poor person like Qu Xiaoqi.
After entering the city, Qu Xiaoqi walked to the only cloth shop in the city.
She didn't want to run into any young master again, while the weather was still early, maybe the young master hadn't gotten up yet, she needed to hurry up and buy the cloth.
As Qu Xiaoqi expected, there are very few people in the cloth shop now. A few juniors got together to chat, but the shopkeeper ignored it.
Seeing Qu Xiaoqi and Ah Qing approaching, he coughed lightly and motioned for Xiao Er to entertain the guests.
"What does the guest need? Come in and see, we have just entered a batch of cotton and linen here, the fabric is comfortable, and the price is cheap. ”
"How do you sell it?" In fact, Qu Xiaoqi originally wanted to buy ready-to-wear, but in the end, between a ready-to-wear with a bad fabric and a good fabric, Qu Xiaoqi chose the latter.
After that, I had to be cheeky and go to Aunt Lin Caifeng's to ask for a female popularity, although she didn't know if the original body would be popular, but her fatherless and motherless setting really made Qu Xiaoqi too easy to lie.
Sometimes she was a little glad that her aunt's tricky temperament caused the whole village to not know much about Qu Xiaoqi.
Otherwise, she was really driven by a group of strong men now, and then burned.
"Cotton and linen is fifteen wen per meter, how much do you need?"
The corners of Qu Xiaoqi's mouth twitched, and he asked, "How many meters does it take to make a piece of clothing?" ”
"For someone like you, four meters is enough, but the ...... behind you Six meters may be required. ”
Qu Xiaoqi had a pain in her flesh, she originally wanted to buy all the winter clothes at once, but she didn't expect it to be so expensive, she needed sixty wen for a single dress.
"Is there any cloth that is a little cheaper than cotton and linen?"
The shopkeeper's face did not change, it seemed that he had more contact with people like Qu Xiaoqi, and said: "The cheapest thing we have here is hemp, ten cents per meter." ”
"How much is the ready-to-wear?"
"It's not easy to say this price, like you, a guest officer, Mai is 80 Wen, and cotton and linen is 120 Wen. Guest officer, it's still cost-effective to buy fabric, why don't you buy less cotton and linen, and then buy some linen? We have a lot of suits, you can choose any of them. ”
The sales ability of the shopkeeper is first-class, but it has not affected Qu Xiaoqi at all.
To put it simply, Qu Xiaoqi didn't listen to a word, she was calculating how many meters of fabric she should buy.
Mai herself and Ah Qing are enough, and you can wear them when you usually farm or go into the mountains. There is no need to do some dirty and tiring work, or to focus on comfort, Qu Xiaoqi still wants to make two sets of nightdresses.
Suddenly, thinking of something, Qu Xiaoqi looked at Ah Qing with bad intentions, and ushered in a smirk from Ah Qing.
"Cut me ten meters of linen and twenty meters of cotton and linen."
"Okay, guest officer, you can pick it, cotton and linen here, and linen over there."
All the linen cloth is stacked in the corner of the shop, and the color is almost all dark, which is completely different from the neatly arranged cotton and linen.
"Ten meters of linen cloth should be brown, as for cotton and linen, ten meters of blue and ten meters of green...... That's it, the green and green color, and it's very pleasing to look at. ”
"I'll wrap it for you right away, it's a total of 400 wen, and I'll give you some leftover cloth for ready-to-wear clothes, which are all brocade, which can be used to make purses, or used to wipe dust."
Hearing the cloth head, Qu Xiaoqi's eyes lit up, and he said, "You can give them to us, it's useless for you to keep them anyway." ”
Even the shopkeeper, who has always had a good psychological quality, couldn't help but stiffen when he heard this, and asked, "What do you want so much cloth for?" ”
"Naturally, it's used to stuff ...... Embroidered purse. Qu Xiaoqi showed a bright smile, the pillows here are all some rice shells, she is not used to pillows at all.
The cotton here is not cheap, and I learned from Lin Caifeng that the people who can cover the quilts in the village in winter are all very wealthy families.
It seems that I wanted to stock up some cotton before, but I can't do it.
"Embroidered purse?" The shopkeeper looked at Qu Xiaoqi suspiciously, and under Qu Xiaoqi's sight, he couldn't help but grab two handfuls.
In the end, the entire bag containing rags was put on Ah Qingkang's shoulder, and he said to the shopkeeper in a not very skilled voice: "Rub." ”
Where did he learn the word?
Looking at the shocked eyes of the shopkeeper, Qu Xiaoqi almost didn't laugh out loud, obviously the shopkeeper knew Ah Qing's stupid name.
At this moment, there must be thousands of alpacas floating in my heart, each holding a banner that says 'I was counted down by a fool'.
"When I entered the city, there were a lot of people, and the soldiers guarding the city gate said a few words to let him learn." Qu Xiaoqi recalled and said.
The shopkeeper could only laugh twice, could it be that he could make a fool deal with him?
The duo in front of me is indeed quite strange.
Shaking his head helplessly, he handed the cut cloth to Qu Xiaoqi, and counted it twice seriously after taking the copper coin!
Qu Xiaoqi is not related to this shop, even if she takes advantage of others, she will not give five more copper coins like she did with Lin Caifeng's aunt.
No matter how the shopkeeper counts, it is four hundred, no more and no less.
Vegetable seeds are cheap, and there are many people who sell them.
Qu Xiaoqi bought a lot of ...... for a penny Lettuce seeds.
These seeds are not mixed and sold, so in desperation, Qu Xiaoqi bought some radish seeds and green onion seeds.
After taking his things, Qu Xiaoqi set off to the medical hall he had been to before.
When I passed by the rice shop on the way, I was stopped by the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper said with a sneer: "Brother Gongzi has been making a lot of trouble recently, and I want to enter the mountain early, and I have found all the people here, do you see if you have time to ...... tomorrow?" ”
"What time will we meet here tomorrow?" Qu Xiaoqi didn't expect the shopkeeper to find all the people so quickly, and he caught a glimpse of a few strong men in black in the store, with a saber pinned to his waist, dressed quite neatly.
The first time Qu Xiaoqi saw this outfit, he raised his eyebrows and withdrew his gaze.
"What time is it?" The shopkeeper was stunned.
"Ah, what hour." Qu Xiaoqi wanted to slap himself in the mouth a few times, but his mind was full of how to fool the old doctor, and he actually brought some modern terms here.
"Auntie...... Little lady, you are a foreigner, the old man can't react when he speaks, so he will set off at dawn tomorrow, and try to arrive as early as possible, right? ”
"Okay, we'll get up early tomorrow and head to the city." Qu Xiaoqi felt that he was in a hurry to enter the mountain more than the little master, so he verbally agreed, and left here with Ah Qing.
I didn't notice the shopkeeper's polite look towards the people in the house, and the people staring at Ah Qing's back in surprise.
When the old doctor saw Qu Xiaoqi, he let out a 'hum' from his nose and said, "Do you still have the money to pay for the consultation?" ”
"Who is with the two of us, I treat you like a grandfather, and you still accept your granddaughter's money." Qu Xiaoqi immediately burst into an incomparably bright smile and spoke.
"It's Lao Tzu's son, and Lao Tzu still charges for medical treatment!"
"I'm not kidding you, I'll tell you something."
"Business?" The old doctor's eyelids lifted, and then he put his eyes on the book in his hand, but those eyes clearly showed that the old doctor's mind had already flown away from the book.
