Chapter 489: Favor Xiaobai Qiao Shangxian
To tell the truth, in the area of gift-giving, Qiao Chu has never been a strong point, it is already great to be able to think of sending some rice and quilts to the mother-in-law, and it is obviously not enough to understand what to give to Luo Niangzi.
Qiao Chu had a headache when he thought about it, and when he got off the night shift, he simply dropped the apron in his hand: Damn! Isn't it okay for the old lady to ask!
After breakfast the next day, Qiao Chu mysteriously called Luo Niangzi aside: "Luo Niangzi, it's the New Year, I want to prepare something for you, what are you missing here?" β
Luo Niangzi smiled: This Qiao Chu is really simple and cute in some ways.
Where is that asked?
Isn't this the same as asking a guest to kill a chicken?
When a guest comes to the door, the host goes and asks, "Do you eat chicken?" If you eat it, I will kill it, but if you don't eat it, I will not kill it. β
But after all, they have been together for a long time, and they know that Qiao Chu is a real person, and they don't know how to say those bells and whistles, and Luo Niangzi doesn't care.
So Luo Niangzi really thought about it seriously for a while, and then said: "Then why don't you buy me two pieces of cloth and I will make two clothes?" β
Qiao Chu nodded, and then asked, "That's the summer clothes?" Or winter clothes? β
"If it's summer, I'll buy yarn and light silk, and if it's winter, I'll buy thick."
Luo Niangzi: "...... Let's use it in winter. β
"That's what you're wearing inside? Or is it worn outside? For the inside, I'll buy soft muslin, and for the outside, I'll buy satin or leather......"
"By the way, what kind of colors do you like?"
Luo Niangzi finally couldn't help laughing when she was asked: "Hahaha...... Chu Chu, why are you so cute? β
Qiao Chu was stunned for a moment: "...... Yes? β
Luo Niangzi slapped Qiao Chu on the arm and said with a smile: "This kind of thing is also in my place, if you go to the imperial city in the future, you are not allowed to ask people like this." β
"Huh? Why? Qiao Chu looked at Luo Niangzi blankly.
Luo Niangzi smiled: "Your heart is good, you always want to give people the most needed and the most suitable, but you ask so, how embarrassing are people?" β
Qiao Chu: "......"
Honestly, she really didn't think about it just now.
It's okay, if you don't understand, just ask.
"What would you do if it were you?" Qiao Chu humbly asked for advice.
Luo Niangzi thought seriously for a while before explaining to her in words that Qiao Chu could probably understand.
"You see, those mothers-in-law who are not rich, you know what they need. But if you go to the Imperial City and meet those nobles, they don't lack anything......
Qiao Chu nodded like a chicken pecking rice.
She really doesn't understand this: yes, people don't lack anything, what is the right thing to give herself?
Luo Niangzi looked at the little lady with a thirst for knowledge, so she taught Qiao Chu earnestly about the sophistication of Qiao Chu as if she was teaching a child......
After Qiao Chu listened, his face was hazy and hazy, and he tilted his head and went out.
Hu Yanlie, who was eavesdropping outside, seemed to be "listening to your words, better than reading a book for ten years", it turns out that there is still so much knowledge in sending things?
Learned!
Oh yes!
Hu Yanlie ran away with excitement on his face!
β¦β¦
Today is the day to buy New Year's gifts for the mothers-in-law.
Qiao Chu and Chen Qingshan walked hand in hand, strolling on the street in the winter snow.
The rice noodle shop made a trip, and asked the shopkeeper to separate them one by one and pack them in bags, and Chen Qingshan put them in the storage bag.
The butcher shop, dim sum shop, and clothing shop went on a trip, and the shopkeeper was also asked to pack them one by one, and Chen Qingshan put them in the storage bag......
When it was Luo Niangzi's turn to choose clothes, Qiao Chu decided to choose some for the inside and outside.
At this time, Qiao Chu remembered that he forgot to ask Luo Niangzi what color she liked......
After thinking back to Luo Niangzi's daily clothes, and calling the shopkeeper to recommend it, Qiao Chu finally chose three satin horses for the outside and two muslin for the inside.
Next door to the clothing shop is the fat powder shop.
In this place that advocates Yuan Li and force, women can't practice immortal methods, and those who practice martial arts are only a minority after all, but they rely more on various skin care and skin care fat powder balms, as well as various rouge gouaches for makeup.
Qiao Chu went in to take a look, and the shopkeeper looked at Qiao Chu and Chen Qingshan, although these two were dressed very simple and plain, they had different temperaments, and they didn't dare to underestimate it at the moment, and asked Qiao Chu what he wanted to buy.
Qiao Chu said magnificently: "Get me a copy of your best fat powder balm here." β
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he took out a box from the cabinet and opened it for Qiao Chu to see.
"This is the head office of the Imperial City, there is only this one at the moment, if the little lady can see it, she only needs three yuan jade." After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he put the things in front of Qiao Chu.
Qiao Chu nodded, and Chen Qingshan gave Yuan Yu happily.
Qiao Chu opened the seven or eight bottles and cans in the box, felt some on the back of his hand, and then closed the box noncommittally and put it into the storage bag.
When he got home, Chen Qingshan went to help pack all kinds of things, but Qiao Chu took the clothes and boxes and went to Luo Niangzi's side.
Luo Niangzi looked at the material in front of her that was close to the color of the clothes on her body, and nodded with satisfaction: "I like this material very much." Thanks a lot. β
Qiao Chuwan smiled: "Thanks to your good teaching yesterday." β
Yesterday, Luo Niangzi said a lot, one of which said: "If you really can't afford what look and color you should buy, you just look at what kind of look and color she wears every day, although it is not easy to be amazing, but it is not easy to make mistakes." β
Qiao Chu is a good student, maybe she doesn't understand, but she is willing to do it, and she is willing to figure it out......
It's great.
Lovers expressed satisfaction with this diligent student.
Then Qiao Chu took out the fat powder box again.
This antique wooden box is lined with satin, and the cloisonnΓ© boxes inside are very delicate.
Qiao Chu took out the cloisonnΓ© boxes inside one by one and put them in front of Luo Niangzi: "I went to buy such a set of fat powder today...... Because it's the first time I bought it, I want you to help me see how the texture is? β
Luo Niangzi looked at the fat powder box, saw the rose mark on it, and said in surprise: "This box is not cheap, how much money did you spend to buy it?" β
Qiao Chu: "Sanyuan Jade." β
Luo Niangzi pondered for a moment, picked up one of the boxes of balm with her fingertips, kneaded it, and sniffed it again.
After a while, she looked at the rest of the small boxes again.
In the end, Luo Niangzi gave a summary: "The texture is not bad. β
Qiao Chu didn't care about this, she asked Luo Niangzi curiously: "This kind of texture, if it is in the imperial city, is it considered superior?" Or medium? Or inferior? β
Luo Niangzi recalled the texture level of the fat powder balm in the imperial city, and finally gave a more pertinent answer: "Medium to high." β
What?
The texture of this thing is only medium to high, so you need three yuan jade?!
If it is of the best quality, how much yuan jade should it be?
Qiao Chu was curious, and asked directly in his mouth.
Luo Niangzi smiled: "The best fat powder balm is specially made by the nobles in the palace by craftsmen, and it is priceless and cannot be bought in the market." β
"And what about the best fat powder that can be bought outside?" Qiao Chu asked the bottom and didn't give up.
"Hmm...... Such a box will cost about thirty yuan jade......" Luo Niangzi thought for a while and confirmed.
"My God......" Qiao Chu gasped!
Today's update will be lost early, because there are classes in the evening, so it will be updated during the day.
