Chapter 140: Shopping
Yu Xiaocao waited for the little girl to go away, and then mixed the remaining water in the water bag into the grass and put it in the trough in front of Xiao Ash. The little donkey licked her hand, and then began to eat merrily. The other three horses, as if sensing the difference in the forage in front of Ash, stretched their necks out. If it weren't for the reins restraining them, they would have fought with Ash.
Xiaocao shook the water bag, and it was empty. She touched Wednesday's little red horse and whispered, "You will be here tonight, and I'll get you something delicious tomorrow!" ā
As if he knew that his food was hated by the three horses, Ash quickly swept away the hay in the trough, and raised his lips in satisfaction and called "Ang, Ang" a few times. The three horses had no idea, so they had to make do with some forage.
Over there, Zhao Han had already put things into the room, and when he saw Xiaocao in the backyard, he asked, "Xiaocao, do you want to rest for a while?" ā
"I'm not tired, let's walk around the neighborhood!" Although it is very hard to ride a donkey for a long distance, Xiaocao has a cheat spirit stone water, and he has a sip to eliminate fatigue, and his whole body is full of strength.
The location of the hotel should be the civilian area of Fucheng, and the items sold by the shops nearby are about the same as those in Tanggu Town, but the types of fabrics and the patterns of jewelry are much more novel than those in the town.
At a nearby cloth shop, Xiaocao fell in love with the muslin cloth printed and dyed with elegant twig patterns, and if she made clothes for the Liu family, she would definitely look good in it. The cotton cloth sold in Tanggu Town is either a plain pure color, or a red and green flower cloth, so you can buy more of such a simple and elegant cloth.
When it comes to spending money, Xiaocao has never been soft. In addition, the price of cotton cloth here is not high, similar to Tanggu Town, but there are many patterns. She bought about ten feet of each of the several fabrics she liked. Zhao Han followed behind, and after a while, his hands were full of burdens.
Not far away, there is a small silver building. Xiaocao remembered that when her mother combed her hair in the morning, she regretted that there were no beads to decorate, only the leftovers left over from the clothes, tied into a bow and tied on her head.
Girls love beauty, and Xiaocao did not hesitate to raise her feet and enter the silver building. The person who watched the business inside was a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, although her appearance was ordinary, her speech and demeanor were sharp.
Seeing that a guest came to the door, the girl did not judge people by their appearance, but still greeted them warmly: "Little sister, do you want to buy jewelry?" What about your family? ā
The first time Yu Xiaocao visited a store like Yinlou, his eyes looked around, and he was attracted by the dazzling array of jewelry. With the current conditions of the Yu family, buying gold jewelry is too eye-catching, which does not conform to Xiaocao's low-key personality and plans to make a fortune in a muffled voice.
She smiled at the girl and went to the counter of the silver jewelry. The counter is covered with a layer of dark cotton, which makes the silver jewelry shine even brighter.
At this time, the girl saw Zhao Han who came in later. Although Zhao Han is only thirteen or fourteen years old, due to his perennial martial arts, he has almost grown up, tall and strong. In the eyes of the girl, Zhao Han and Xiaocao are the older brothers who take their sister shopping.
Both of them were dressed in very ordinary cotton clothes, but the workmanship was very meticulous. Especially the improved jacket skirt on Xiaocao's body, which sets off Xiaocao's slender figure like a slim flower, which is very much like a small jasper.
The girl carefully helped Xiaocao introduce the jewelry in the store: "Little sister, this pair of lilac earrings has a more lively shape, just for your age, do you want to ......try it?"
She picked up the pair of silver lilacs and was about to gesture to Xiaocao's ears, but when she saw that the little girl had no ear piercings in her ears, she smiled apologetically at Xiaocao, put down the silver lilacs in her hand, and went to get another set of beaded headdresses.
Yu Xiaocao saw that the pair of lilac earrings were exquisitely made, and the small lilacs were lifelike, shining in the afterglow of the sunset. Xiaocao was not in good health when she was a child, and Liu was reluctant to pierce her ears, but Xiaolian had pierced ears. This pair of cloves fit Xiaocao's eyes very well, and asked about the price, only 200 yuan, and immediately took it.
Next, she chose a pair of silk silver bracelets and a magnolia silver hairpin for the Liu family. Listening to Xiaolian, their mother originally had a magnolia silver hairpin as a dowry, and when Xiaocao was sick when she was a child, she used it as a medicine. This silver hairpin should be able to make up for some of Liu's regrets!
Of course, Xiaocao did not treat herself badly, and chose a pair of beaded flowers and a string of coral bracelets for herself. I also chose bead flowers of the same style and different colors for Xiaolian. In the end, I also bought a few gold silk headbands, ready to give them to the Zhou sisters and Qian Wu's sister.
Just buy in the east and buy in the west, and it costs more than six taels of silver to settle the bill. The girl was a little worried that the "brother and sister" did not have enough money with them, after all, the clothes they wore did not look like the children of rich families. Who in an ordinary family would give a child five or six taels of silver at once and let her buy jewelry? Even in Fucheng, the wedding jewelry of ordinary people's daughters will never exceed ten taels of silver.
The girl was a little worried in her heart, but she still smiled and said: "A total of six taels of silver, my jewelry is all homemade, and the fraction will be erased for you, you only need to give six taels of silver!" ā
Six taels of silver? It's not expensive! A pair of bracelets and silver hairpins, the weight is nearly two taels, if you ask the master to carve it, the store really doesn't make much money. The good thing is that people are built by their own families, and they save a lot of wages.
Xiaocao took out the close-fitting purse, took out a small ingots of ten taels from it, and stuffed the four taels of broken silver into it. Xiaocao's purse is embroidered by Xiaolian, and there is a very chic sunflower pattern on it.
The girl was very interested in the pattern on this purse, and with Xiaocao's consent, she traced the pattern. The girl is the daughter of an old silversmith and has a talent for silver jewelry. The patterns she creates are not only delicate but also full of spirituality.
The sunflower on this little purse gave her infinite inspiration. In the near future, sunflower-style jewelry will be very popular in Fucheng for a while. This small silver shop has gradually gained a certain reputation, and the girl has gradually been recognized in jewelry creation......
The sky had already darkened, except for the door of the silver shop, Xiaocao couldn't bear Zhao Han to accompany her to the night market with a large bag, so she went back to the inn with him and put her things down. Yu Hai was afraid that it would not be safe for the two children to go out at night, so he came out with him.
The night market recommended by Zhao Han is really lively, brightly lit and full of pedestrians. The road is lined with stalls, each with two lanterns, and the occasional flickering candle makes the light look hazy and blurry.
The night market not only has a variety of knick-knacks, but also gathers a variety of snacks from the north and south. glutinous rice cakes, chaos, glutinous rice balls, shortbread, rice noodles...... The three of them ate from the street to the end of the street, and their little stomachs were bulging, and they screamed uncomfortably.
It wasn't until the night market was about to end that Xiaocao reluctantly left. She couldn't get enough of it: "Although the snacks here taste quite authentic, if I live nearby, I will definitely be able to make snacks that are 100 times more delicious than these." ā
"Oh? Any ideas to hear from them? If it's possible, sell it at the dock! Zhao Han has also tasted Xiaocao's craftsmanship, and he has no doubt about her ability to make food.
Xiaocao seemed to smile faintly nostalgic and said, "I want to make a string of incense." Whether it's meat dishes, vegetarian dishes, poultry eggs, seafood...... You can use bamboo skewers to skewer and boil a pot of spicy soup...... With that, I feel like I'm hungry again! ā
Yu Hai looked at his daughter's eyes that were brighter than the stars under the stars, smiled and touched the bun on her head, and said, "The dock has begun to measure now, and construction will start soon." Sanshao said that in the future, the wharf will become the largest and most prosperous port in the north, and the flow of people will definitely be much more than now! In the future, let's get a storefront to sell braised vegetables and what you call strings of incense! ā
"Or ...... You get some first, and I'll help you try the taste. If it's as delicious as you say, it's absolutely no problem to make money! Zhao Han was described by her, and the gluttonous worms in his stomach were aroused. I don't know when the port will be built, isn't his desire for a string of incense far away? It's best if Xiaocao can get some out first, and he can satisfy his cravings.
"No problem! Tomorrow I will buy some spices in Fucheng, and I will get them for you to taste when I go back!" "Ingredients such as cabbage, greens, lettuce, tofu, mushrooms, etc., are not worth much. As long as the soup is boiled, you can eat whatever you want. What a big deal!
The three of them were talking about strings of incense as they walked back, when suddenly a figure stopped them. A tall man, at first glance, he was a forty-year-old man from the army, stared at Zhao Han for a long time, and then asked with a slightly excited voice: "May I ask the little brother, are you surnamed Zhao?" ā
Zhao Han put away the smile on his face, frowned, and asked with a wary expression, "You, do you recognize me?" ā
"No, no! Little brother, you look very similar to my master, my teacher's surname is Zhao ......" Seeing that he did not deny it, Dahan's expression was even more excited, and there was a faint light in his tiger eyes.
Zhao Han's appearance is not quite like his father, but follows his grandfather. The Zhao family seems to be very talented in martial arts, don't look at Zhao Han is only a teenager, and ordinary five or six people are not his opponents.
Zhao Han looked at the big man carefully, seemed to be sure of something, put away his guard, and asked in a low voice: "Dare to ask if the strong man is surnamed Fang?" The 'room' of the house? ā
"Yes, yes! I'm your uncle's house! Teacher...... Is your grandfather okay? Where have you lived in seclusion all these years, I have been looking for you for more than 20 years......" Dahan couldn't control his emotions anymore, and grabbed Zhao Han's shoulder, his mouth was about to grin behind his ears.
Zhao Han naturally knew about the house town. He was an orphan adopted by his grandfather, and he has been cultivated as a son, and all his kung fu has been inherited from the Zhao family. It is said that before the disappearance of the house town Fang Shibo, a martial arts can already be compared with his grandfather, if there is no tragic war, I believe that soon Fang Shibo will be able to be better than the blue.
