Chapter Seventy-Six: Purchasing New Year's Goods

Ah, don't bring this, Ji Nuan walked on her little short legs to chase her mother, she even planned what to buy, and all her plans would be ruined without silver. Gu Shuzhen likes to see her daughter's coquettish appearance the most, and she has made up her mind that she will never agree to give her silver if she doesn't make herself happy this time.

Today is Ji Lianlu rushing to deliver tofu, the car is full, usually only for the driver to sit a place, today the mother and sister settled on the side of the car, and the two followed the donkey cart.

After walking for a while, Gu Shuzhen stopped the car, she wanted her husband or son to sit in the car for a while, but neither of them refused, Ji Nuan showed her little head from the wrapped clothes: "Should our family buy another cow!" ”

Gu Shuzhen nodded at her daughter's head: "Do you want to buy a five-entry mansion?" ”

"Think, sooner or later we'll live in a yard like that, not yet, almost something."

"What's the difference?" Ji Lianlu asked, my sister really dares to think that the rich man of the big mansion in Wujin can't afford to live, and the county magistrate probably can't live in it, it is a place where officials or particularly rich people live, but not ordinary people can afford to live.

Ji Nuan stretched out his little hand and twisted a few books and said seriously: "Shortcomings, silver!" ”

If you want to buy a big mansion in Wujin, you need a lot of silver, is that a little missing, Ji Ruinian was amused by his daughter, Ji Lianlu also laughed, Gu Shuzhen patted her daughter's little hand: "Close your eyes and sleep, continue to dream of your Wujin mansion." ”

"We're going to live in a big house." Ji Nuan muttered in a low voice and went back to his mother's arms and closed his eyes, he entered the city early today, Ji Lianlu needed to wait for a while, Ji Ruian asked him to be careful, and after making an appointment to meet the place, he took the two of them to leave first.

Because the Chinese New Year is approaching, the market is particularly lively, and Gu Shuzhen stood there in a trance, thinking about the situation when she was in the market when she lived with her in-laws.

In those years, every time she came to the market, she carried straw sandals or baskets, and her mother-in-law didn't take anything and kept urging, and after she arrived at the market, she was responsible for selling things, and she didn't dare to look at the people around her who sold food and sold things.

"Shuzhen, now that you are in charge, our lives are better, just buy whatever you want, I will be responsible for getting things for you two today." Ji Ruinian said to his wife full of guilt.

"Buy!" Ji Nuan is looking at the seller of side vegetables, she wants to buy some vegetable seeds and plant them in the space, so that she can eat fresh vegetables during the Chinese New Year.

Gu Shuzhen grabbed her daughter: "You follow me, let's go shopping first." "I have to go around, shop around to pay for it, and I don't know who I follow, and I don't frown when I spend money, and I don't feel distressed at all.

After walking around the market twice, Gu Shuzhen bought some cloth heads, new dishes and chopsticks, a bunch of needlework, and the only thing related to eating was a noodle fish mold. In Daqi, there is a custom of steaming noodle fish in the New Year, every family has to steam, and if possible, it is steamed with white flour, and the general family will also buy a pound of white flour and some bean noodles to steam a few yellow and bright noodle fish.

After the 30th day of the steamed noodle fish is placed in the ancestors, it is generally divided among the children in the family, and the older generation says that whoever eats the noodle fish will have good luck in the coming year, and the noodle fish can not be given as a gift, so they will transport their own good out.

My children have never eaten a mouthful of noodle fish for so many years, and they don't know what noodle fish tastes like. Gu Shuzhen specially bought a grinding tool this year, and she wanted to steam a pot of noodles to ensure that the children could eat the whole noodle fish.

When he left the market, Ji Nuan's silver was not spent at all, Ji Ruinian carried the things his daughter-in-law bought on his shoulders, and asked the mother and daughter where they wanted to go.

"Go to the place where the seeds are sold." Ji Nuan has been thinking about this.

"Go to the place where the cloth is sold, buy some cloth and go home and I'll make you new clothes." This year, the whole family can change into new clothes, but how did the girl remember to buy seeds, and now they will grow in the spring of next year when they are planted in the ground, so it is better to wait for the weather to warm up and plant again, and they will grow soon and be fresh.

Gu Shuzhen just wanted to persuade her daughter a few words, but Ji Ruinian pulled her: "Then let's go to the seed shop first, then buy cloth, go back to the shop to buy some candy, inquire where to sell firecrackers, and wait for your third brother to come, and then buy some white noodles and japonica rice, this time buy fifty pounds of each, let's eat white noodles from Chinese New Year's Eve, until the fifteenth day of the first month." ”

"You've thought about it a long time ago, haven't you, then you're still pretending to listen to me, you're a liar, girls remember that what men say and do is often different, don't be deceived by their words." Gu Shuzhen teaches her daughter.

After a few words, how did he become a liar, Ji Ruinian asked her daughter-in-law, didn't she plan to buy some rice noodles today, didn't she plan to buy some candy for the children to eat for the New Year?

Gu Shuzhen was asked, glared at her husband, and asked him to find a butcher shop to buy some fat for a while, Ji Ruinian planned to wait for his son to drive the ox cart to buy heavy things, he couldn't take so many New Year's goods alone.

took his father and mother to a hidden alley, Ji Nuan asked them to help him watch people, and in an instant, he put the new dishes and chopsticks and cloth into the space, and now he can go buy another batch of things.

Ji Ruinian and his wife hurriedly looked around, fortunately no one saw it, if this scene was bumped into by others, they would not think that the girl was a monster. Gu Shuzhen whispered to her daughter that she should not do this in front of outsiders, and it was best not to let the little ones in the family know, in case she leaked her mouth, it would be easy to leave trouble if she was heard by someone with a heart.

"Daddy, I know, let's go, buy some more New Year's goods, the third brother should come over, there is a donkey cart that can pull down a lot of things, isn't it?"

As long as the child knew the seriousness of the problem, Ji Ruinian picked up his daughter and found a shop where they often buy seeds, which was selling all kinds of New Year's goods, sugar, snacks, peach charms and new pots and pans.

Ji Ruinian asked the shopkeeper if there were still vegetable seeds, he wanted to buy some, there were very few vegetable seeds at this time, the shopkeeper didn't want to pay attention to Ji Ruinian's stubble, Ji Nuan stood on tiptoe and greeted the shopkeeper: "Hello uncle, the New Year is coming soon, I wish you a prosperous business and a lot of wealth!" ”

The shopkeeper, who was still a little impatient just now, immediately changed his smile: "This kid is really good at talking, come and give Uncle a piece of candy to eat." ”

"Uncle Xie, my mother will buy candy and peach charms in a while, but before that we want to buy seeds, do you have them here?"

"There are still some aged vegetable seeds in the store, I promise they can sprout, so you can buy other things first, and I will ask my wife to look for them in the back, how about finding them for you?" It's useless to keep the old vegetable seeds, so it's better to use them as a favor.

Seeing that the shopkeeper was very gentle to his daughter, Gu Shuzhen weighed two catties of candy here, and bought some sugar, bought a new peach charm, a new pot, a bottle of sesame oil and half a catty of sesame seeds, Ji Ruinian asked their mother and daughter to wait in the shop for a while, he went to greet his son, the donkey cart didn't come to the pot, and he couldn't take it out, so he couldn't go into the cloth village with a pot.

Ji Nuan took an uncle, and the shopkeeper's shout was full of joy, his wife was also a sincere person, and found a large bag of vegetable seeds, a total of more than a dozen, and the shopkeeper sent Ji Nuan.

"Mother, let's buy some more things, my uncle and aunt are so good, and I am embarrassed to send so many things." didn't want to give money to the shopkeeper, Ji Nuan had to discuss with his mother, wanting to take care of his family's business again.

The things that should be bought have been bought, and Gu Shuzhen is also very embarrassed, Ji Nuan stood outside the counter obediently and asked, "Uncle, do you have guns for sale in your store?" ”

"This thing is not allowed to be sold in ordinary stores, little girl, you have to set off a cannonball, that thing is very loud, aren't you afraid?"

"Uncle, I have seven brothers, they want to buy some, do you know where to sell them?"
