Chapter 82: The Bright Moon of the "Loser".
Oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, sugar, tea, eggs, meat, firewood, charcoal, pots, buckets, spoons, cups, plates, bowls, chopsticks, spoons, kang tables and cupboards, needles, threads, straw paper, soaps, pancreas, bath beans... Anyone who can use it at home, Mingyue bought one for the guy to help send to the house.
After all the streets were finished, Mingyue took Yu Jiayan and her cousins to the noodle shop on the corner.
There were a few people lined up outside the noodle shop, Mingyue waited patiently for a while, and when it was their turn, she very quickly asked for twenty sesame baked cakes, twenty sugar crispy twist flowers, twenty white flour steamed buns, and twenty meat stuffed buns.
"I'll say this month, you've bought too much, right? Can we finish one meal? When Mingyue paid, everyone walked away a little, and Mingxu immediately disagreed with Mingyue's big moves.
"If you can't finish eating, keep it for snacks, or continue to eat it at night." Mingyue carried the things for them, and she went to the braised meat shop next to her to buy a pound of pig's head meat, a pound of pig's mouth strips, and a pound of pork belly.
Ming Xu was completely speechless, and he was now very worried, worried that his big-spending sister would not spend a month's worth of food in three days.
If Mingyue knew Ming Xu's thoughts, she would definitely not hesitate to reward him with a little white eye.
Is it true that she can't live? She didn't want her family to eat all kinds of delicacies in the county. When Mrs. Ming and they returned to Wulitun, she would definitely not spend so much money again.
When the few people arrived home, the rest of the Ming family was cleaning the house, and they had already tidied up most of the houses, except for the second room in the courtyard that had not been cleaned.
Mingyue showed the food to Mrs. Ming, and then went to the kitchen to make a small green vegetable and egg soup.
She also put the braised pork in the soup pot and heated it for a while, but she didn't heat the steaming pasta again.
The family washed their hands and sat around, and Mingyue took out the blue-edged big sea bowl that had been washed and filled everyone with a bowl of egg drop soup.
"Delicious! It's really delicious! Gorou took a bite of the pig's head and began to say "delicious" with joy.
Mingtang swallowed the sesame baked cake in his mouth, "It's really delicious." ”
The others nodded in agreement.
Mingyue smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into crescents, "Eat more if it's delicious, and I'll buy you something else in the evening." ”
Mrs. Ming almost immediately understood Mingyue's filial piety, she didn't say that Mingyue would save money, but looked at Mingyue with a smile and nodded, "Didn't you eat anything last time?" This time, we'll all eat together. ”
Mingyue tilted her head and rubbed Mrs. Ming's shoulder, "Okay! It's up to you! ”
Everyone couldn't help but smile, especially the children, and the cheers almost didn't lift the roof.
Huan Huanxi had lunch, Xie, Tao, and Zhou went to the stove to wash the dishes together, and Mingyue took a list and began to check the large number of items she bought.
It wasn't until the number and variety were determined that there was no problem, and Mingyue paid the balance to a few young men who delivered the goods to the door according to the time she requested.
"Mingyue, why do the dishes you bought this time look so fine? That's a lot of money, right? Mrs. Ming, who helped Mingyue sort things and place them in the right places, rubbed a delicate small bowl in her hand, and her eyes looked at the pile of delicate porcelain on the ground.
"It did cost a lot of money." Mingyue pointed to the ones next to her that had no patterns and were relatively ordinary porcelain, "These are the ones I bought for our own use, and these at your feet are what I plan to take to entertain guests." Our family came to the county seat, especially my brother and they came and went back and forth to be some scholars, and we can no longer use the kind of coarse porcelain bowl in our hometown to entertain guests. ”
"Milk, you don't know, my sister is still relatively cheap to buy. The porcelain shop we went to, the most expensive set of dishes in it, the shopkeeper said it was for 400 taels. It was Saburo who interjected, and he still remembered the appearance of a few of them huddled together like little quails, for fear of damaging the porcelain in the store.
Mingyue smiled, "He said that he said, didn't he also say that the set we bought would be sold for thirty taels?" ”
Xie Shi gasped when he heard this, "So, how many taels did you spend?" ”
"The tea set, cups, plates, bowls, and spoons are all counted, and it cost a total of eighteen taels." Mingyue didn't hide it from her, "This is already the third-to-last cheapest set in the store." ”
It wasn't just Xie who gasped this time, Tao even took two steps back, looking like he was afraid that he would get his bag in case he broke it.
Xie Shi's voice trembled a little when he spoke, "So, how many pieces are there?" ”
"Sixty-eight pieces, on average, one piece costs about two hundred and sixty-five wen." Mingyue is quite stable, after all, she had bought something more expensive than this in her previous life.
However, the others couldn't calm down, and Mingyue heard at least three "My God" at this moment.
"That, that cupboard and kang table..."
Mingyue touched the ruyi cloud pattern carved on the kang table, "These two are not very expensive, and they are about two or three percent more expensive than the carpenter Wang in our village." ”
Xie Shi and the others sighed in unison—fortunately, the prices in this county are not too scary.
Mingcheng was helpless and funny, "You girl, can't you be more tactful?" Look at your and scare them. ”
Mingyue looked innocent, "Who made my grandmother focus on the most expensive thing at a glance, she asked the old man if I could still hide it?" ”
Mingcheng couldn't tell her, "What else did you buy?" ”
"That's a lot, you'd better see for yourself. But everything else is very cheap, even the tea I only bought for five dollars a pound of silver. ”
Xie Shi had another pain in her flesh, and she asked Mingyue, "Shouldn't you just buy a pound of tea?" ”
"That's not true, I only bought half a catty." Mingyue patted her shoulder, "Auntie, in the future, my eldest brother will use tea more often, don't be reluctant." ”
Hsieh: ......
Xie wanted to cry without tears.
What if she wasn't comforted at all? The money hasn't been spent yet, just hearing Mingyue say that she is already very reluctant, okay?
I think she has been poor since she was a child, and she has stayed in Wulitun for most of her life, and she can't even go to the town ten times or eight times every year, and every time she goes, she either sells eggs or embroidery, and buys things only to buy some needles and threads, coarse cloth rags, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and no one time the expenses exceed one or two silver.
But what did she see now? Her little niece spent two thousand five hundred dollars just to buy a handful of tea!
And that set of porcelain, a couple of broken plates and broken bowls, uh, well, a couple of slightly more elaborate plates and bowls... Just these things, the one that was spent was a real eighteen taels of silver! It's worth more than an acre of farmland!
Xie Shi clutched her chest, she couldn't think about it, she couldn't help but vomit blood when she thought about it.
Dow and Zhou are slightly better than her.
Tao is because her daughter is the culprit of the "loser", and at this moment, in her heart, the emotions of weakness are more than distressed.
The Zhou family has seen some of the world because of his brother, and knows that for today's Ming family, these façade things are indispensable.
