Chapter VIII Preparations
Chu Yuqin took a look at it.
There are large and small porcelain vases on the shelves, and there are not a few of them. Some are suitable for rouge, some are suitable for balm, and some are suitable for spices.
"Boss, you see that you are in a hurry to get rid of it, why don't you make it cheaper? If it were cheaper, I'd buy more. ”
Chu Yuqin looked at the boss with a smile.
"How much can you buy?" The owner is a cheerful person.
He didn't raise the price because Chu Yuqin was interested, and when he saw her say this, he didn't even hesitate to ask her, obviously with the intention of cooperating.
"Those with small bottles want twenty, those with medium bottles want ten, and those with large bottles want ten."
The boss roughly calculated and said the acceptable price, "Just now you took a small bottle, I will count fifteen wen for you, twenty wen for the medium bottle, and twenty-five wen for the large bottle." ”
"That's seven hundred and fifty wen." Chu Yuqin looked at the things on the shelves, "Add this to me again!" ”
The boss shook his head and smiled: "Little girl, your vision is very good, I usually sell this thing for twenty yuan!" ”
It was a stack of purses.
The pattern on the purse is not complicated, but the small flowers on it look fresh and look good.
There are ten in that stack, each for two cents, and it is very appropriate to sell for twenty cents.
Chu Yuqin wants to make sachets, these ten purses can come in handy, if the boss is unwilling to give them away, she is willing to spend money to buy them.
"To tell you the truth, I bought these bottles back to do business, and if my business is good, I will definitely find the boss in the future." Chu Yuqin looked at the boss with expectant eyes.
The boss waved his hand: "Seven hundred and sixty Wen, it's cheaper for you." Little girl, I also have a family waiting to eat, let me earn some money. ”
"Deal."
Leaving the grocery store, Chu Lihong asked curiously, "Sister, you just said that you want to do business." What business? ”
"You'll know when the time comes, so keep it a secret now." Chu Yuqin smiled, "I smell the smell of roast chicken, it's so fragrant!" ”
"It came from Tianxianglou, and the roast chicken in Tianxianglou is a must. It is said that only ten are sold every day, and when they are sold out, no matter how much silver they have, they will not be made again. ”
Chu Lihong looked at the building in the distance, his eyes full of longing.
Chu Yuqin patted him on the shoulder: "Our family hasn't had meat for a long time, and there is no roast chicken for the time being, buy two pig's trotters and go back to marinate!" ”
"How?"
"I'll teach you when I go back."
The siblings bought all their things and walked towards the wonton shop.
The wonton shop was packed with people.
The thin figures of Chu Dashan and Yu were particularly abrupt among those who ate sweetly.
They carried heavy backpacks on their backs, and Chu Dashan, who was originally a little hunchbacked, looked even more vicissitudes.
Yu's appearance is still good, but her perennial work has given her gray hair, and the wrinkles on her face have driven away the beauty of her youth.
Chu Yuqin meant to let them sit on the tables and chairs of the wonton shop and wait for them while eating wontons.
However, I don't know if they didn't understand the meaning, or they were reluctant, they stood next to the store with the things they bought, and were looked at by the customers who ate wontons with strange eyes, they were red-faced, and they still didn't leave.
"Dad, mother."
Chu Yuqin strode over.
Two siblings followed her.
"You're finally here, let's go! Don't disturb the store's business. ”
Seeing them, Yu exhaled a sigh of relief.
"I'm so hungry! It's not too early, let's eat and go! Chu Yuqin hugged Yu's arm and looked at her aggrievedly.
"This ......"
A bowl of wontons sells for five cents. There are five of them, that's twenty-five dollars.
"Let's eat a few of you! I ate too much in the morning and wasn't hungry. Chu Dashan spoke.
"Yes, my mother is not hungry, you three can eat!" Yu Shi hurriedly said.
At this time, a table of people left, and Chu Yuqin pulled the Yu clan towards it.
"There's a vacancy here, sit down and talk about it first, or there won't be a place again."
The owner of the wonton shop had seen Chu Dashan and the Yu clan standing there since just now, no matter how busy he was, he still didn't snub them, and took the initiative to borrow a stool for them to sit on.
It's just that the couple is too honest, and in the face of the kindness of the wonton shop owner, they shirk it vigorously, for fear of causing him trouble.
"Boss, five bowls of ravioli."
Chu Yuqin didn't discuss it with Chu Dashan and his wife, and called out directly.
"Big girl......" Yu frowned.
Her face was full of distress.
"That's not how money is used, we have to save it."
I used a lot of it when I went out today!
Fifty taels of silver seems like a lot, but in fact it is not used at all.
"Mother, leave the task of raising a family to me! Now that I'm at home, you don't have to worry about these things. ”
Chu Yuqin picked up the chopsticks and gave each person a pair.
Chu Yulan and Chu Lihong looked at each other.
Such a domineering sister is really dazzling.
In the past, among their whole family, only Chu Lihong had a stronger personality, and the others were obedient buns.
It's different now.
Chu Yuqin's rebirth gave them hope.
"Guest, your five bowls of ravioli."
The boss brought the ravioli.
"Thank you, boss."
"Guest, your sons and daughters are filial, and life will get better and better in the future." The boss said something flattering, and went back to work.
Chu Dashan raised a sincere smile, and the Yu clan smiled lovingly.
"Let's eat!"
This is the first time that everyone in the Chu family has eaten wontons.
Before they separated, they didn't even have many opportunities to go to the city, let alone buy things. After the separation, they ate wild vegetables every day to satisfy their hunger, and they couldn't see the sun.
And now, with the steaming wontons in their stomachs and their most precious child sitting across from them, it always feels like this is the beginning of happiness.
"I can't eat it."
The Yu clan gave the wontons in the bowl to Chu Yuqin, Chu Yulan, and finally Chu Lihong.
Seeing this, Chu Yuqin said helplessly: "Mother, I can't eat so much." ”
"I can't eat it either, you can help me share some of it."
Chu Dashan gave the wontons in the bowl to his wife Yu.
Chu Lihong, Chu Yulan and Chu Yuqin also gave the wontons in the bowl to the relatives around them.
Yu looked at the ravioli, which came back, and laughed.
The others laughed as well.
"Let's hurry up and finish it! I bought the trotters and can marinate the pig's trotters at night. ”
This time, the Yu clan didn't say that Chu Yuqin was wasting money.
She also figured out that the fifty taels of silver were earned by Chu Yuqin, and she wanted to come back. And without it, their lives would have been the same.
If you really run out, it's nothing more than a hard life again. What are you afraid of?
At least now the children have had a full meal.
Several people carried the baskets on their backs and returned to the place where the ox cart was being driven.
The ox cart was already waiting there, and the seats above were half full.
Only this ox cart picks up and drops off each time, and there is a fixed time to return to the village, and it will not wait for a long time. If you miss the time, you have to walk back by yourself.
