Chapter 177: Shopping
Du Yuniang took the note written by Huzi and read it while walking.
If you want to buy a large pot for cooking noodles, a clay pot for noodles, a large bowl, you also have to buy plates, chopsticks, a fence, and a pot for cooking lo-mei.
It costs a lot of money just to buy these things.
The tables and chairs in the shop can still be used, but a few small items need to be added. At the counter, there are also a few signboards, and the food signs must be hung up to make them eye-catching, so that people can see them as soon as they enter the store.
Then there are the ingredients used to cook the noodles.
These things are not difficult to buy, but it takes a long time for them to open a noodle shop and do business, so it is best to find a fixed stall to buy, the owner must be real, the goods must be good, and the price must be relatively cheap.
Du Yuniang thought and calculated.
Liu was so anxious on the side, "Yu Niang, where to buy it first?" ”
Liu didn't come to town often, so he wasn't very familiar with this area, and he didn't know where to buy these things.
Du Yuniang explained to her, "There are three streets in front of and behind here. To the east, it is where the rich man lived, and when he arrived on the main street, it was full of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, gold, silver and jade. The restaurant is particularly high-end, the shop that sells dim sum, the study that sells the four treasures of the study, the embroidery building, the silk village, anyway, the things sold are good, the water is expensive, and the average person can't afford to consume it at all. ”
Liu listened attentively.
"There is also our street, where there are mostly ordinary people, grocery stores, tofu workshops, wine shops, inns, ready-to-wear shops, anyway, clothing, food, housing and transportation, everything! However, it is all affordable for ordinary people, and the situation is more complicated than in the east. ”
"Then there's the north, over there, it's all ninth-rate territory, gambling money, fighting, beggars, anyway, everyone has it, and it doesn't have much to do with us."
Liu nodded again and again, like that kind of place, don't go easily.
"Further south, there are warehouses and blacksmith shops, and after that, it's time to go out of the city, and there are academies on the hills on the outskirts, and a few estates that seem to be private. The rest is farmland. ”
"You can also go out of the city in the west, and if you go to Qinghe Mansion, you have to go from this side."
Liu only said: "Then let's buy it on this street?" I don't see anyone selling pots and pans. Hey, do you have to go to the grocery store to buy it? ”
"Hmm." Du Yuniang nodded, "There is everything in the grocery store, pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar." ”
Liu looked up at the shops on both sides, pointed to a grocery store and said, "Isn't there only one?" Let's go inside! ”
Du Yuniang hurriedly grabbed her: "Mother, let's buy these things, we can't buy them in the shop, how expensive is that!" ”
"No, where can you buy it in the shop!" Liu was confused, looked at his son and then at his daughter, and was a little confused.
Du Yuniang smiled, "Blame me for not telling you, let's not just buy three or five, it's not cost-effective to buy them in the shop." Didn't I say that there are warehouses on the south side? There's actually a thrift market over there, which sells used things, some are brand new, and everything is cheap. Like we have to buy so many plates and bowls, let's just go there and have a look first, and then come back and clean up and use. ”
As soon as Liu Shi heard that he could save money, his eyes suddenly lit up, "That's okay, then don't bother, let's go over now!" ”
Du Yuniang couldn't cry or laugh, "I don't want to take you around the street, get familiar with it first!" ”
Liu said anxiously: "Oh, what is there to visit on this street, I will live here in the future, I want to be familiar with when to be familiar!" Hurry up and buy things first, it's important to get down to business. ”
Du Yuniang had no choice but to take her to South Street.
Compared with the bustle of the east and west streets, the south street seems a little deserted, there are not many people on the street, and you can hear the sound of iron striking in the blacksmith shop. On a cold day, sparks were splashing in the blacksmith's shop, and the man striking the iron wore only a leather apron and waved a hammer with his bare arms.
"Yu Niang, where is this old goods market?"
Du Yuniang stretched out her hand and pointed, "Na, there!" ”
Under a wall, leaning on a few people, there are a lot of things in front of them, ranging from jars for pickling vegetables, rack cars, to pots and pans, needles and threads.
"There really is!" As if he had discovered a new world, Zhao's eyes kept scanning the stall.
Du Yuniang went directly to the root of the wall to find someone.
A woman in her forties greeted her, "Girl, what do you want to buy?" ”
Du Yuniang looked at her for a moment and asked, "You are sister-in-law Jiang!" ”
"Yo, do you know me?"
"I've heard of it! I want to buy some pots, pots, and plates, and chopsticks. Du Yuniang asked her, "Is there any goods?" ”
"Yes, yes!" Sister-in-law Jiang nodded hurriedly, "I have the most complete things here." Girl, are you going to make a deal? ”
Du Yuniang nodded, "Open a noodle restaurant that is not big or small, sister-in-law, let's pick something, you are cheaper, and we will come and go often in the future!" ”
"Okay! Just for your pleasure, I will definitely give you a cheaper, you pick! But I'm afraid of bumping into everything here, so hold it steady! ”
Du Yuniang nodded, "Don't worry." She took Liu and Du Ankang to Jiang's sister-in-law's stall and began to pick them up.
Don't say it, Sister-in-law Jiang is a guy who specializes in selling second-hand pots and pans, she has a lot of things here, and the things are new, and there are many things that look like they haven't been used.
Du Yuniang found a lot of useful things.
"Yu Niang, don't say it, this thing looks really new."
"This sister-in-law Jiang, in the past, her mother's family was doing business of changing bowls and pots, but later his father and mother were old and couldn't walk, so this stall was handed over to Sister-in-law Jiang. Sister-in-law Jiang has a lively head, so she simply did this business of recycling and reselling, so her thing is quite good. ”
Liu Shi picked up something happily, "Yu Niang, you are quite well-informed!" ”
Du Yuniang smiled, "I've been in the town for a long time, and I can hear any news, it's not unusual!" ”
In the end, the mother and wife picked two large pots, six pots, more than 20 sea bowls, and more than 20 shallow-bottomed eight-inch bowls. Plates, chopsticks, vinegar dishes.
Sister-in-law Jiang's eyes lit up, this is big business!
"Sister-in-law, we have agreed in advance, you have to give me cheaper things, and I will definitely come again when my business is good in the future."
Sister-in-law Jiang couldn't stop nodding, "Don't worry!" Definitely! ”
In the end, these things cost less than four taels of silver.
Liu was very satisfied, "Don't say it, it's really a lot cheaper!" "If you buy a new one, I'm afraid that just those two pots will cost three taels of silver.
