Chapter 0009, Change of Cloth
Xiao Qing thought to herself that the rice noodles she exchanged in the mall were fine, but they were not comparable to the ancient coarse grains and millet rice, and the taste was naturally delicious, she dressed like this, and sent such good rice noodles to the grain store, maybe it would cause the grain shop shopkeeper to think, not to mention, she really couldn't carry it, and when the fat was lost and she had the strength, she went to the front grain shop to change money.
"Shopkeeper Li, shopkeeper Li, don't go, look at my fat body, carried from the countryside to the county, walked more than ten miles, I really can't walk, you look at these two buckets of fine flour, it's not ordinary wheat grinding, you see, you take a look before leaving!" Xiao Qing pulled Shopkeeper Li to the side of the noodle band.
She smiled and bent down to open the bag, pinched a pinch of flour from it, and then handed it to Shopkeeper Li: "Look, you touch this flour!" ”
Most of the ancient flour was ground out with a stone mill, and the flour was difficult to achieve the modern fine, white and tender without bran, Xiao Qing took such a good flour and exchanged cloth with him It was already a loss, if she didn't know the goods, then she could only admit it and find a grain store.
Shopkeeper Li rubbed the flour in his hand, lubricated and delicate, his eyes flashed, and his brows furrowed, there is such flour in the world?
He looked at the woman in front of him in surprise, and his eyes unconsciously looked at the bag of rice: "This flour is good flour, but what about rice?" ”
Xiao Qing smiled and ripped open the rice bag again, grabbed a handful of rice and handed it to the shopkeeper Li: "Look at this rice, it is full, the grains are out of the rice, white and shiny, where can I find such good rice in the shopkeeper?" ”
Shopkeeper Li looked at the rice noodles, his brows were tightly locked, seeing that the woman's dress did not look like a person who could grow this kind of rice, not to mention the great drought, there was rice and stored grain, he asked worriedly: "Sister, tell me honestly, you shouldn't have stolen this rice and noodles from where you stole it?" ”
Xiao Qing listened to his suspicions, not only was she not angry, but she understood that if she was dressed like this, it would be good to have a stutter at home, and she could have such good rice and noodles, either stolen or cheated.
She squinted and smiled, and said unhurriedly: "What did the shopkeeper Li say, how can we do what we do to steal chickens and touch dogs, you don't want to change, I won't bother you to rest, there are a few cloth villages and grain shops in front, I will exchange some money, it must be more expensive than changing your cloth, but I doubt that our character can make people uncomfortable, if we grind out this kind of rice noodles in the future, I don't dare to change it to you?" I'm tired today, I can't carry it, I see a few of your fabrics I like very much, and I want to change it with you! Then if you are suspicious and don't want to change, I will be tired and go to other homes. ”
After all, she didn't wait for the shopkeeper Li, she was going to carry the rice noodles to the cloth village in front of her.
Alas, she had to carry these two bags of heavy goods to a distant place to change.
Shopkeeper Li saw that the fat woman was not angry or annoyed, and her speech was nice and pertinent, not like the kind of person who steals, not to mention that in this drought for a few years, who has such food and still hasn't hidden? It will be used as a last resort to change the cloth.
He smiled thoughtfully: "Alas, little girl, don't go, I didn't say no, even if you steal this rice noodles, it has nothing to do with me, I open the door to do business, and I naturally refuse to let go when I meet good things, although the rice noodles in your hand are not the best, but they are not bad in Yaoshan County, I can consider accepting it, but the price can only be cheaper than the grain store, and I can't give you the same price, if you think it's okay, you will go to my store to pick cloth?" ”
Xiao Qing saw that he wanted to lower the price, she didn't have many four buckets of rice noodles on her back, even if she went to the grain store, they wouldn't give her a good price, and they would send someone to follow her to check her details to see why she could have such good rice and noodles.
Although the shopkeeper of Buzhuang pressed his price, there is always a source for this rice noodles, and there will be no inquiring about the origin of her rice noodles like a grain store, like investigating the household registration, and the follow-up will be endless.
She smiled and said, "Then shopkeeper Li, tell me, two buckets of rice and two buckets of noodles, how much money do you give me?" If I think it's suitable, my rice noodles will be changed with yours in the future! ”
Shopkeeper Li touched his beard on both sides and estimated, thinking about the market price and market, he couldn't give less and couldn't give too much.
He counted for a long time and said with a smile: "Little girl, do you think this is appropriate?" White flour is expensive, the grain shop is still good flour two hundred wen a bucket, although our flour is good, but the amount is too small, I will give you one hundred and fifty wen, what about rice, the market price is cheaper, a good rice is eighty wen, your rice I give seventy wen a bucket, what do you think? If there is such good rice and noodles in the future, they will all be sent to me, and the price will be raised in the future? ”
Xiao Qing felt the sincerity of the shopkeeper Li, he was right, the market price is almost this price, in the year of the great drought here, the rice and flour are expensive, and the rice and noodles are twice as long, and the people in the village can eat coarse grains and pea noodles It is already good, most households eat bran and throat vegetables is a common thing, not to mention fine noodles and white rice, and few people in Yaoshan Village have seen it.
The price given by Shopkeeper Li was also reasonable, but Xiao Qing still didn't rush to agree, after thinking about it again, he deliberately looked at the cloth in his store, and said with a smile: "Nacheng, although the price you gave me is not good, but I will do that, and then sieve out the rice noodles in the future, and the price of Shopkeeper Li will rise for me." ”
Shopkeeper Li smiled, and then made a gesture of please: "Then the little girl go in and see, which fabrics are suitable, you can pull some away?" ”
Xiao Qing picked up the rice noodles on his back, sent him to the store, then patted the flour on his body, found a fine linen cloth with indigo and two bronzed linen, and some uppers and soles, and handed them to Shopkeeper Li for him to calculate how much it was.
The shopkeeper Li saw that she took a few batches of cloth and sent them to the counter, he felt at ease, he also thought that she had taken a good fancy to the fabric, these linen cloth he didn't need to take a ruler to measure and knew how many feet there were, a fine linen cloth, linen cloth is often bought by the villagers in the county village, although it can't make a few dollars, it is valuable in the amount.
It just so happens that there has been a great drought in the past two years, and there is little sackcloth sold, so it's a good thing that this girl can help him eliminate some inventory.
"Sister, you have the eyesight to pick these cloths, this fine linen is two hundred Wen, and the two burlap are also two hundred Wen, this sole and upper, you can't take it, just this sole is a hundred Wen, and you don't feel distressed if you give you a few pennies on the upper! Four buckets of rice noodles are 440 Wen, fine linen and linen cloth are removed from 400 Wen, and the soles are cheaper and you buy cloth, why don't you take a few pairs of uppers today? "Shopkeeper Li pressed the soles of his shoes and didn't sell them.
Xiao Qing smiled, knowing that the soles were expensive, she didn't buy those cloth shoes because she couldn't buy a pair of embroidered cloth shoes even if she came to four buckets of rice noodles, thinking that the soles would be lower, I was afraid that the soles would be more expensive than fine linen.
"Okay, okay, I'll grind some fine noodles and white rice another day, send them here, and exchange them with you!" At that time, Shopkeeper Li will give me a cheaper! Xiao Qing said with a smile.
When Shopkeeper Li heard that she still had fine rice noodles, he was happy: "Okay, little girl will take as much as she wants from me in the future!" ”
