Chapter 60: Daily necessities
The woman not only let Li Yao earn the 'first pot of gold', but also thoughtfully moved a small stool for Li Yao to sit and sell eggs.
Li Yao set up the basket, lifted the cloth in the basket, and sat next to the basket by herself.
Eggs are really a hot seller.
As soon as Li Yao set up a stall, someone came to ask the price to pick eggs.
However, everyone knows the market price of eggs, and asking the price is a casual question, seeing that the eggs in Li Yao's basket are selling well, someone soon decided to buy them.
There are one and two, and after a while, Li Yao's eggs were bought one after another.
When there were forty or fifty eggs left, a woman dressed in silk came and bought all the remaining fifty eggs at once.
Li Yao hadn't sat in front of the store all morning, and the more than 100 eggs she took out of the space were sold out.
The Brie she brought before was now loaded with 233 coins, and it became heavy.
"Aunt Jiang, I'll go back and set up a stall after dinner."
After such a meeting, Li Yao already knew that the woman's name was Jiang Xiaoyun, so she called her Aunt Jiang.
Li Yao sent a small stool to Jiang Xiaoyun's shop and said hello to her.
"Hey! Be careful on the road, don't lose your money. Jiang Xiaoyun reminded.
She saw that Li Yao was wearing many patches of clothes, and her family background was definitely not very good, so she would lose a lot of money if she finally made some money and lost it.
"I see, Aunt Jiang." Li Yao answered, and then left with the bamboo basket on his back.
She wasn't going home for dinner, but wandered around the town.
Now that she has some money on her, she can add some daily necessities to herself.
After visiting a few stores, Li Yao learned that there are already such things as toothbrushes and toothpaste in this era, but ordinary people generally can't afford to use them.
The toothbrush here is made of bamboo or wood, with two rows of holes in the head and a ponytail implanted to become a toothbrush that can brush teeth, which is very similar to the toothbrush of the 21st century.
Toothpaste, on the other hand, is a plaster made of soaphorn, lotus leaf, poria cocos, green salt and other medicines.
Li Yao did not hesitate to buy a toothbrush and a box of toothpaste, the toothbrush was still made of the worst bamboo chips, and it also cost her 16 yuan, and a box of toothpaste was 30 yuan, I heard the boss say that this toothpaste will be used up in half a year at most, which means that the shelf life is only half a year.
However, Li Yao saw that such a small box of toothpaste was enough for her to use alone for three or four months at most.
No wonder it is something that poor families can't afford, if the whole family uses toothpaste and toothbrush, how can it cost more than 200 yuan a year, which can be as low as the monthly salary of ordinary workers in this era.
Who can be willing to use this ordinary family.
After buying toothpaste and toothbrushes, Li Yao bought a box of soaphorn paste for shampooing, which was boiled with traditional Chinese medicine such as soapseed, Polygonum multiflorum, and tea seeds, which was more expensive, and it was also unaffordable for the poor, asking for 45 yuan a box.
However, this soaphorn paste is much larger than the toothpaste box, and the savings are enough for her to use for a few months, so she bought it happily.
After that, Li Yao spent 9 yuan to buy a large pack of soap horn powder, this thing can not only wash clothes, but also take a bath, in fact, it can also be used to wash hair, but the effect is not as good as the plaster with other Chinese medicines.
I spent 16 yuan to buy two pieces of coarse cloth to use as towels.
I spent 5 yuan to buy a wooden comb, and many of the teeth in the comb at home were broken, and she could always pull her hair when combing her hair, so she bought a new one for herself.
I spent 50 yuan to buy a large stack of straw paper, which is used to go to the toilet, and it is also indispensable, and she can't do it if she wants Niu Erni to use a wooden stick to go to the toilet before she learns.
At this time, the papermaking technology has been very mature, this straw paper is actually the defective product of writing paper, because the quality is rough and can not write brush words, so it is sold to the rich and noble as toilet straw paper.
5 Wen money can buy two large pieces of paper, Li Yao bought 21 pieces and spent 50 Wen money, one of which was sold by Li Yao and sent by the shopkeeper.
After buying the paper shopkeeper and helping Li Yao cut it, a large piece of paper was cut out of 18 equal parts, and 378 pieces of paper about the size of A4 paper were cut, which was enough for Li Yao to use for a while.
