Chapter Ninety-One: Grasping the Little Fortunes of Life
Liu Wan confessed that it was the guy who looked down on her when she first came to Wangjiang Tower, surnamed Gu.
However, it can be said that they don't know each other, and now that the young man knows that they are the guests that the shopkeeper fancies, he has a good attitude towards them.
Seeing Liu Wan explain to him, Gu nodded with a smile and said:
"Okay, Aunt Liu, I'll tell the shopkeeper Guan.
Guan shopkeeper has been very busy recently, going out to do business during the day, and reciting the formula you gave at night.
By the way, Aunt Liu, what is a formula? Is there still a mother? ”
Liu Wan didn't expect the shopkeeper Guan to be very attentive, so serious, no wonder people can be so successful, but when she heard the question behind Gu, Liu Wan couldn't help but break the defense, and laughed out loud, saying:
"Although there is a formula, there is no mother, as long as you memorize the formula.
By the way, how does bean paste sell here? Liu Wan took the opportunity to have an after-sales service to understand the market's recognition of her products.
"It sells very well, and before the end of the pea season, the shopkeeper Guan specially collected hundreds of catties of peas from various villages and made them into bean paste.
Now this is the favorite sauce of the guests, which is said to be fresh and refreshing, and it can be eaten. ”
Gu knew that Liu Wan was the founder of bean paste sauce, so he told the truth.
"Okay, I'm relieved if the guests like me."
Liu Wan and Wang Xiao went to the cotton store to buy cotton.
Seeing that his mother had to spend money, this time Wang Xiao did not object, he found that his mother had changed a lot recently, and he loved them even more.
In the past, when the family had no money, and when everyone couldn't stand the cold in this kind of weather, they could only put on all their single clothes, three inside and three outside, wrap themselves like zongzi, and couldn't walk their hands and feet.
Being able to wear a light and soft cotton jacket is a dream that children yearn for and feel is a luxury.
Wang Xiao is synchronized with Liu Wan in this matter, who doesn't want to have a warm cotton coat to wear?
"Man, how much is a pound of cotton?" Liu Wan asked.
"100 yuan a catty." Dude said.
Liu Wan muttered that it was quite expensive, and asked, "How much cotton does a cotton coat cost?" ”
The guy said: "Auntie, it depends on the thickness of the cotton clothes you want, if it is warmer, you need four or five catties, and two catties in the spring and autumn period." ”
"How do you whack your clothes?" Liu Wan muttered and glanced at Wang Xiao.
Wang Xiaomeng shook his head and said, "I don't understand either." ”
"Ha, auntie, what a wocculent, we have ready-to-wear to buy. In fact, if you buy fabrics and cotton wool, you have to toss yourself, and it is not much cheaper than ready-to-wear. ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the shelves behind the counter, on which were rows of cotton clothes of various colors and materials.
The colors are blue, blue, black, and red, and the fabrics are forged silk and cotton.
Liu Wan's eyes couldn't help but light up, and asked, "How do you sell ready-to-wear clothes?" ”
The guy is also a personal sperm, and when he saw Liu Wan asking, he hurriedly introduced:
"The main thing is to look at the weight of cotton, which is 4 catties, this is 2 catties, 4 catties of 500 yuan, 2 catties of 350 yuan, and 100 more yuan of satin fabrics.
If you buy a few more pieces, I'll give you a cheaper price, and you see, the holiday is coming soon, so don't you have to buy new clothes and celebrate the festival happily, isn't it good? ”
Wang Xiao secretly felt that it was expensive, and he had a small calculation in his heart, but he couldn't figure it out.
"Seven pieces, four pounds, cotton fabric, how much?" Liu Wan said.
"3500 yuan, one price for large and small pieces, you buy more, save you 50 yuan, 3450 yuan." Dude said.
When Wang Xiao heard that he wanted three or two halves of silver, his heart twitched.
Liu Wan hurriedly said: "No, you have to give a discount, count it as three taels of silver." ”
"That's not going to work, it's too much to lose." The man's head shook like a rattle.
However, because he saw that Liu Wan really wanted to buy it, the guy poured them two bowls of sugar tea.
Liu Wan couldn't help but think of the Evian she enjoyed after buying a bag in a donkey brand store.
When I drank the hot sugar tea, the whole person became hot.
In the end, seven pieces of cotton clothes, the price was negotiated at 3400 Wen.
will soon be able to wear a new cotton coat, although Wang Xiao is in pain with money, but his heart is also quite useful, and he has experienced the love from his mother.
Liu Wan picked out a dark blue padded jacket for herself, which was in line with her current status as a widow, inconspicuous and unassuming, but not too bleak.
Wu Hui chose a light blue one, young people still need to be a little brighter, of course, it doesn't mean that light blue is gorgeous, that is relative to the current situation.
The children chose black because they tend to get dirty and black reduces the number of washes.
Cotton clothes must not be washed often, otherwise the warmth function will deteriorate.
Liu Wan picked out the padded jacket, paid the money, and she and Wang Xiao went straight to the upper body, it was too warm.
For the rest of the padded jackets, the men carefully found the hemp rope, tied it into four squares, and put it in their bamboo baskets.
Liu Wan saw that the store was also selling quilts at this time, and suddenly remembered the hard quilt on her bed, which was uncomfortable and not warm.
Recently, the temperature has dropped and the weather is cold, and she often shiveres and can't sleep, which seriously affects the quality of sleep.
"Dude, how much does a quilt cost?"
Although she doesn't have much money on hand now, Liu Wan feels that the money is earned, not saved.
It is true that the province can save some money, but what is the meaning of picking at the province and saving it, being reluctant to eat and wear, and starving yourself?
Liu Wan decided to seize the small luck of her life.
She wanted a warm quilt.
"This is ten catties of cotton, and it costs one or two halves of silver." Dude said.
"It's too expensive, I can't afford it, I'll buy it in a few days."
Liu Wan still had pain in the end.
Because if she just bought a quilt that she had built herself, she would definitely be able to get it for a tael or two of silver.
But if she wants to buy it, she can't just buy a bed?
Everyone in the family must have it, otherwise, she will have too no conscience.
Now Wang Li and Wang Lian are not adults, the two of them still sleep in one bed, Wang Jing and Wang Yi are also squeezed into one bed to sleep, Wang Xiao and his wife want one bed, she herself has a bed, at least four quilts have to be bought, not six taels of silver?
Sky-high sums of money!
Forget it, she confessed.
There are still not many silver taels in my pocket, and I have no confidence.
Liu Wan said not to buy it, and the guy was not angry, he was still very polite, but Wang Xiao breathed a deep sigh of relief behind his back.
He found that his mother was really not distressed to spend money, as long as he was obsessed with it, he would spend it regardless of it, and it was already his limit to buy cotton clothes today.
Now that I heard that my mother didn't buy quilts, Wang Xiao's hanging heart was put down.
Walking to the street, Liu Wan asked Wang Xiao: "It's almost the New Year, what dishes do we have to prepare for the New Year?" ”
"Mother, how about marinating some preserved fish, bacon, and sausages?"
"Okay." As soon as she heard about eating cured meat, Liu Wan came to her senses.
The two decided to buy more fish and meat.
Because it was the New Year's Eve to prepare for the New Year, Wang Xiao was not reluctant this time.
