Chapter Twenty-Six: Selling Embroidery Samples
"Miss Yiyu, give, shopkeeper, I wrapped twelve white-flour steamed buns." When he said this, Wang Hu cautiously glanced at the shopkeeper's words.
"Twelve white-flour steamed buns are enough for the head of the family to eat, if it is not enough, ask Huzi to wrap a few and take it back." Shopkeeper Zhang didn't look at Wang Hu, and turned his head to Liu Yiyu.
"It's more, there is only ...... at home, thank you Zhang." When Liu Yiyu reacted, he looked at the shopkeeper Zhang, and saw the shopkeeper looking at him with a smile.
Liu Yiyu sighed in his heart, sure enough, Jiang's is still old and spicy, and unconsciously, this shopkeeper is from his own background.
Liu Yiyu's heart moved slightly, and there was nothing that could not be said about the situation in his own family, "I have a grandmother and a mother at home, and there are seven younger brothers and sisters, and this steamed bun is enough to eat."
Liu Yiyu's eyes were clear and frank, and he looked directly at the shopkeeper Zhang.
"Alas!". Although Shopkeeper Zhang guessed that Liu Yiyu's family was difficult, he didn't expect to underestimate that there was no adult man in the Liu family, no wonder Yiyu's girl's family came forward to support the family. “”
"Thank you Zhang shopkeeper today, the righteous rain in the coming day is developed, and you will not forget today's things, and you will receive the grace of dripping water, and the righteous rain will definitely spring up in return, if the shopkeeper Zhang has nothing else to do, our sisters and brothers will go first." Liu Yiyu tightened the steamed bun wrapped in oiled paper, and solemnly said to the shopkeeper.
"This girl is a little interesting, without the vulgarity and subtlety of a rural girl, speaking of which, she is clear, well-read, frank and open, and proud, if she is born in a rich family, she is afraid that she will live wantonly and chic, in this era, born in a poor family, she is afraid that she will have to bear too much on her shoulders." Shopkeeper Zhang looked at the back of Liu Yiyu's sister and brother leaving, and said secretly in his heart.
"Eldest sister, this white-flour steamed bun is so delicious, soft and fragrant, it tastes smooth and soft, and it is finished before you know it." After Liu Yiyu's sister and brother came out of the restaurant, they found a place to sit down, Liu Yiyu took out a white-flour steamed bun from the oiled paper and handed it to Liu Yishuang and Liu Yihao to eat.
Although before, on the way to the town, Liu Yiyu's sister and brother ate black flour cakes and cushioned their stomachs, but there were only so many things, I am afraid that they did not even fill their stomachs with five points full.
"Fifth brother, on the way to the town, the third sister ate a lot of black flour cakes, this steamed bun is too big, I really can't eat it, you help the third sister eat some." Liu Yishuang said, broke the steamed bun in his hand, broke it in half, and wanted to hand it to Liu Yihao.
"Third sister, how much have you eaten and how much can you eat, isn't it clear to the eldest sister? Now, your stomach is afraid that it is not full, Nuo, fifth brother, you eat one more, third sister, you also eat one." Liu Yiyu sighed in his heart, the most touching place of the Liu family is the Liu family, the big one always takes care of the small, takes care of the small, and the small thinks about the big, it is this feeling that makes Liu Yiyu feel the strong warmth of the Liu family and the unity between the family.
"You guys just eat, there are still seven white-flour steamed buns left, and there are seven of them, just one for each person."
"Eldest sister, you didn't eat much of the black flour cake this morning, you can eat this white flour steamed bun!" Liu Yishuang said, handing the white-flour steamed bun in his hand to Liu Yiyudao.
"One and a half, there's nothing to say, eat quickly, and we'll go to the Splendid Cloth Store and Derentang Pharmacy later?" Liu Yiyu took the white-flour steamed bun handed over by Liu Yishuang and broke half of it.
"Eldest sister, I won't go to the splendid cloth line later, after all, that's where girls go, and it's not a matter for me to go with a boy." Liu Yihao ate steamed buns, and said something vague in his mouth.
"Well, okay, the eldest sister will give you some money later, you first go to Li Ji Grain Store to buy 20 catties of sweet potato noodles and 20 catties of black noodles, and then buy 20 catties of brown rice and 1 catty of sugar, and go to the pork shop to buy 2 catties of fat pork, which we will use to boil oil." Liu Yiyu thought for a while and nodded.
"Eldest sister, are there a lot of things we bought? This ......, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of copper plates? Why don't we keep a little spare, in case we need to use money in the future? ”。 After Liu Yishuang heard his street instructing his fifth brother to buy so much thanks, he said with some hesitation.
"The eldest sister has calculated, to buy these things, it will cost more than 400 copper plates, plus the copper plates for selling embroidered handkerchiefs, and the copper plates left over from buying roe deer, I am afraid that the eldest sister can have one hundred and fifty copper plates left in her hand, this money, the eldest sister plans not to use it, what about saving?"
"Eldest sister, I'm ....... I'm worried about .....".
"Third sister, you are worried in your heart, eldest sister understands, you can rest assured, everything will be fine in our family." Liu Yiyu touched Liu Yishuang's yellow hair with some sadness.
Liu Yishuang is only eleven years old this year, and he has to worry too much about the livelihood of his family at a young age, and he has already borne too many burdens on his shoulders at a young age.
After the three sisters and brothers ate the white-flour steamed buns, the soldiers divided into two ways, Liu Yiyu took Liu Yishuang to the splendid cloth shop, Liu Yihao took the copper plate given by Liu Yiyu, and the other came to Li Ji Grain Store to buy what Liu Yiyu said he wanted to buy.
When Liu Yiyu sisters arrived at the Splendid Cloth Shop, they saw the shopkeeper snapping on the counter, and there were three women in their thirties in the store, who were introducing fabrics or finished clothes to the customers in the store.
"Yellow Shopkeeper". Liu Yiyu stood next to the counter and shouted to Sister-in-law Huang.
"It's a righteous rain girl! It's been a long time since I've seen it, and my sister-in-law still thinks that you took the blank embroidered handkerchief in your sister-in-law's shop and walked away and won't come back? ”。 After hearing the voice, the shopkeeper Huang raised his head and saw that it was Liu Yiyu, holding an embroidered handkerchief embroidered with green bamboo in one hand, covering the corners of his mouth and chuckling.
"The shopkeeper Huang said with a smile, this embroidered Pa Yiyu's mother and mother have embroidered it, but there is something delayed in the family before Yiyu, and there is no time to come, no, once there is time, Yiyu didn't take his sister to the shopkeeper's shop." Liu Yiyu touched his nose a little unnaturally and replied.
But I took the blank embroidered handkerchief in the yellow shopkeeper's store, and I didn't hand over the copper plate, so I haven't come for a long time, I'm afraid that others will think that I took the blank embroidered handkerchief and didn't come, and took advantage of others in vain.
"Sister-in-law is laughing? But my sister-in-law looks very ......, so I brought a handkerchief to my sister-in-law to see, how is the embroidery? ”。 The yellow shopkeeper's eyes flashed with shrewdness.
After Liu Yiyu heard the words of the shopkeeper Huang, he hurriedly took out the ten embroidered handkerchiefs that had been packed before from his arms and handed them to the shopkeeper Huang, with a confident look on his face.
However, after the shopkeeper Huang saw the confident look on Liu Yiyu's face, the shopkeeper Huang's eyes flashed slightly.
