Chapter 28 Spending in the City
"An hour later to meet here, and then to go out of the city together, only one hour, remember?"
As soon as he entered the city, Meng Yi said this to the big guy, and after seeing that they all nodded in response, he waved his hand and dispersed.
Several people who had already planned what to buy were going to do their separate actions.
Xu took his daughter and first ordered a hundred meat buns in a bun, gave a deposit, and said that he would come to pick them up in half an hour.
Immediately afterwards, he entered the grocery store next door and first bought a basket, and then said to the second brother: "Second brother, ten catties of millet, three catties of brown sugar and five catties of fine salt." ”
"Hey, ma'am, please wait, it'll be right away."
The little second brother who was talking quickly weighed millet to Xu's hands and feet, and seeing that Xu didn't bring anything, he also thoughtfully packed it in a bag and put it in the back basket, and the sugar and salt were wrapped in kraft paper and put in the back basket.
The shopkeeper on the side pulled the abacus and said: "Millet thirteen wen a catty, ten catties is one hundred and thirty wen." Three catties of brown sugar and forty-two wen, five catties of fine salt and one hundred and fifty wen, and five wen for the back basket, a total of three hundred and twenty-seven wen, and the lady will give three hundred and twenty-five wen. ”
Xu took out the money from his sleeve pocket and gave it to the shopkeeper, put the basket on his back, took the money recovered from the shopkeeper, left the grocery store quickly, and then took his daughter to start shopping mode on the road.
No matter what it was, as long as Ouyang Philo said he wanted it, the Xu family bought it, and this operation made some people look stupid.
After buying needlework and thread at a place that sold fabric, Xu proudly bought fifty embroidered handkerchiefs, two screens, and twenty pairs of shoes.
Later, under the reminder of the girl, I bought ten more pieces of fabric of different colors and colors, and I spent almost three hundred taels in total, and I met the God of Wealth with the boss's happy call.
Xu's pride in buying. The boss was also generous, and directly gave Ouyang Philo two dresses, and gave Xu Shi four sacks of rags in the warehouse and five water-soaked cloths as additives.
Xu Shi also took it happily, and then put the shoes and embroidered cloth and dress in the back basket, tied the cloth and put it on the back basket, and was just about to carry the sack, when he saw his son and brother-in-law coming.
"You've bought it?"
"Second sister-in-law, I'm still short of a mattress, and I'm about to ask if there is one in this house."
Listening to the little uncle's words, Xu immediately looked at the boss: "Sister Zhen, mattress, if you have two beds." ”
Hearing that this business was coming again, Sister Zhen, the owner of the cloth shop, smiled and couldn't see her teeth, and responded loudly: "Yes, I'll take it for you." ”
Seeing the uncle and brother coming, Ouyang Philo rolled his eyes, looked around, and saw her mother and uncle talking, taking advantage of the opportunity of the boss turning around to get the mattress, he quietly collected the cloth shoes and three bags of rags with his mind.
"Girl, can this mattress be made?"
As soon as he received the things, the cloth shop owner asked with a mattress.
"Sister Zhen said that it will definitely be done. How much do these two mattresses cost, I want them. As soon as Xu finished speaking, he turned his head and asked Ouyang Qin: "Can you buy your shoes?" ”
"No, buy this together."
"Done. Sister Jane, eight pairs of shoes. My little brother-in-law and sister-in-law each have two pairs, another nine-year-old male doll, and a nine-year-old female doll, you can look at it. ”
"Hey, yes, right away."
Sister Zhen, the owner of the cloth shop after the answer, quickly took eight pairs of shoes, and then took some needlework as an add-on, and collected fifty taels.
Under Sister Zhen's smiling face, the four of Xu left the cloth shop and walked towards the city gate.
Walking to a corner, Xu said to Ouyang Qin and Ouyang Minglou: "Lou'er, you follow your uncle over first, and my mother will take my sister over there to buy something for my sister." ”
"Second sister-in-law, let's go together."
"Mother, I'll go with you."
"No, we'll be here soon, you go first, see if there's anything else to buy on the way, buy it quickly, it's been almost half an hour, hurry up." After speaking, without waiting for the two to speak, he hugged Ouyang Philo and walked towards the street on the side.
Ouyang Philo saw that no one was following behind him, and then he said, "Mother, uncle and brother didn't follow, let's go get the buns first." ”
"Okay, let's go."
When the mother and daughter came to the steamed bun shop, the time was almost just right, and the owner of the steamed bun shop saw that someone was coming, so he took out the basket full of steamed buns: "Madam, this basket is lined with kraft paper, clean, rest assured." ”
Seeing that the boss was so caring, Xu took out the money and handed it over: "Okay, thank you boss." Give, it's to make up your money, you count. ”
"Hey, don't count, Madame will definitely not be short of money." With that, he put the money in a wooden box, and then packed up the dick.
The mother and daughter did not stop, and continued to buy on this street, and finally wrapped all the pastries in a pastry shop, and then stopped.
Holding a piece of pastries in two baskets with the good shop owner in both hands, Xu, who was carrying a basket on his back, walked towards the city gate with Ouyang Philo, who had successfully landed and walked.
When they were about to reach the gate of the city, the mother and daughter came to a place where there was no one, so they left only two pastries in the basket, and then checked them, and found that there was no problem, so the mother and daughter walked out.
City gates.
After the Xu family hugged Ouyang Philo and Meng Yi and the others, they waited for a while before they saw Ouyang Mingqing and the brothers hurrying over with their backpacks on their backs.
Now they all returned, and then they went out of the city together, and went the way they came.
Back at the station, the group sat down and rested for about a cup of tea, and then set off again.
When leaving, Ou Yangminglou handed the little sister into the arms of his younger brother Ouyang Mingxu and asked them to go ahead, while he followed his mother-in-law Xu's side.
Xu knew that the kid must have noticed it, so he asked, "What does Lou'er want to ask?" ”
"Mother, if you need your son to cover in the future, just say it directly, my son is not Mingxu's brain, and my son understands it in his heart. The three of us brothers now only have a few taels of silver, and the rest is given to the younger sister, but the second brother doesn't know about it. ”
After listening to his eldest son's words, Xu looked at him in surprise and asked, "When was it given to Luo'er?" ”
"After the tea is served."
Hearing this, Xu asked again suspiciously: "Is the second child really so stupid?" ”
"I don't know, but the old and the young are the first to know."
"Well, alright, go ahead. The next road is the beginning, and the rest of the road will become more and more difficult. ”
"Okay."
Ou Yangminglou, who stepped forward, hugged his sister Luo'er from his younger brother's hand, then stretched out his hand and pinched her little nose, and said with a light smile: "Little clever ghost." ”
"Hee-hee..."
Looking at the smiling sister, Ouyang Minglou felt that it was still very good for his sister to have such an ability to hide things, at least she would not let this delicate and soft sister go hungry.
Time flies, and before you know it, it's night.
Although he knew that each family had bought some food, Meng Yi still gave them a bowl of paste per person, promising that they would not be given something to eat.
Ouyang Philo, who was used to sleeping in the open, drank the mush and ate the mung bean cake handed over by her mother, and then lay on the mattress beautifully, looking at the starry night sky with a pair of big eyes...
