Xue Wang took Gu Yi to the innermost part of the market, and when he reached the end of the market, there was a small stall in the corner of the street, which specialized in selling salt.
The owner of the stall was an old woman with gray hair, shabby clothes, and a poor complexion, giving people a feeling of malnutrition.
At this time, when the old woman saw someone coming, she hurriedly greeted, and her chapped mouth bent into a warm smile. "Salt is very cheap, do you want to buy some, it's good to use this for pickles."
"Auntie, thank you really today, you go back first, I need to buy some other bits and pieces to take home after buying salt, and I will delay the meeting." Gu Yi thanked Xue Wang.
Xue Wang's family said again and again that you are not welcome, and then asked Gu Yi to go back early, don't wait for the sun to set, it's not safe.
She went back first, and when she returned home, she had to cook, otherwise the man wouldn't even be able to eat hot rice when he came back from work, and there were dolls at home, so she couldn't rest assured.
After Xue Wang's left, Gu Yi asked the mother-in-law who sold salt, "Mother-in-law, how is this salt sold?" “
"This salt is two cents a catty, and I have the cheapest here." After the mother-in-law finished talking about the price, she was afraid that Gu would be too expensive, so she hurriedly added. But she was telling the truth, other people's salt is all three cents a catty.
"Okay, mother-in-law, you weigh me ten catties." Gu Yi took out his purse from his sleeve, took out a string of copper coins, and put the purse into his sleeve. He planned to put this Baiwen directly in his arms, saving the inconvenience of taking it back and forth in his purse, and he would have to buy other things later.
"Ten pounds? Good... I'll give you the scale. "My mother-in-law was shocked, she has been selling salt for several years, and the first time someone bought ten catties of salt, this salt is really not delicious and smells bad, most of them are bought by poor people.
Gu Yi looked at the mother-in-law who sold salt and heard that she wanted to buy ten catties, such a big reaction, and she sighed again in her heart, it was nothing more than poverty and wealth.
Ten catties is a lot for the mother-in-law's scales, and after weighing it three times, it was finally weighed, and the mother-in-law also gave half a catty more.
"Here, mother-in-law, it's fifty dollars." Yanba's money was originally twenty wen, but Gu Yi gave thirty wen more, for no other reason, a trace of sympathy gushing out of nowhere.
"It's... Young man, twenty wen is enough. The mother-in-law didn't understand what Gu Yi meant, so she didn't pick up the copper coin, and explained.
"Mother-in-law, you can take it, these thirty wen will be my deposit for the next time I come to buy salt." Gu Yi didn't know how to say it, and he couldn't say things like he felt pitiful for others.
This mother-in-law is also a real person, she only took 20 yuan, and refused to accept the 30 yuan given by Gu Yi, only saying that she would let Gu Yi give it next time she bought it, but her wrinkled face smiled very happily.
Gu Yi didn't dwell on this matter anymore, thinking that this mother-in-law was a good person, and if she had a suitable job in the future, she would definitely be called.
Leaving his mother-in-law's stall with salt on his back, Gu Yi walked to the market center, ready to go to the cloth store to buy some cloth, and then went to the ready-to-wear store to have a look, if there is a suitable one, he bought it directly, the size of the family's clothes, he specially asked before coming to Lianyun Town, and was interrogated by Gu's mother at that time, and in the end, it was not enough.
Soon, Gu Yi saw a cloth village called Caiyi Cloth Village.
There were three or two people in the cloth shop who were choosing, and when Gu Yi came in, a young woman came up, looking at the guy who pretended to be in the store, came to Gu Yi and said, "This guest officer, what do you want to choose?" It's really a coincidence, Zhuangzi has just put a few new pieces of cloth on it, come, take a look here. He took down the sack that Gu Yi was carrying and put it next to the counter.
After Gu Yi heard what the woman said, he hummed and followed the woman to a stack of cloth.
"Guest officer, you see, these horses are new cloth just put on, this horse is bright in color, this horse is stable, and this is the most suitable for the little girl." The young woman pointed to three of them.
Gu Yi looked at the pieces of cloth and felt that they were all quite good, plus the young woman's eloquence was good, and the service was enthusiastic enough, so he decided to take all three.
When the young woman heard Gu Yi say that she wanted these three horses, her eyes widened suddenly, as if she had heard a lot of news.
It is indeed amazing news, these three pieces of cloth are about enough to make fifteen sets of clothes, each of which is enough to make five pieces, and Gu Yi didn't know, he thought that one piece of cloth could only make one, so he made such a big joke.
After Gu Yi found out, he also blushed rarely, in order to leave the cloth village quickly, Gu Yi picked two more pieces of cloth, a total of five colors of cloth, just one color for each person in the family.
After that, the woman asked the woman to cut each piece of cloth to the size of one person, and told her the size of the clothes of several people in the family, who knew that there was another joke.
"Uh, guest officer, this cloth is sold by the ruler, this new style is twenty dollars for one foot, you see, how many feet do you want?" The young woman could see that the handsome-looking man in front of her should be buying cloth for the first time, and he didn't understand this.
Gu Yi rolled his eyes at himself in his heart, his face was full of helplessness, and finally according to the size of the family's clothes, he bought a total of thirty-six feet of cloth for five horses, because he was afraid that it would not be enough, so he bought a few more feet, and made up a whole number, forty feet.
Then he thought that Xiao Qu'er's clothes were in tatters, so he took a look in the store again, remembering that Xiao Qu'er was wearing purple clothes, so he chose a light purple cloth.
After paying, Gu Yi silently looked at the big burden of cloth in front of him, and then looked at the small cloth bag containing salt next to him, and decided to find a carriage first, although with the magical power he had after crossing over, these are all right, but it is a little weird for others to look at.
After telling the young woman to put the things down first, and with the woman's consent, Gu Yi ran to the street of Weizhen Building, and when he passed by there today, he saw that there were many carriages carrying people.
On the way, I bought some food at the small street stall, and I was going to take it back to Gu Ran and Gu Xiao to satisfy their hunger, thinking of Xiao Qu'er, I bought some pastries by the way, the girl's family should love to eat these.
