Chapter 114
Liu Laozhu hesitated and took the money:
"Didn't you say that the caravan came and then returned? If you give me this effort, once I spend it, if you don't have enough, I won't be able to give you a hand again. ”
Mrs. Xu took advantage of the fire in the stove pit to glance at Liu Laozhu's hair that had been getting thinner and thinner recently. is different from Guan Erbald, Guan Erbald is only two locks left on the top of his head from east to west, and Liu Laozhu is left with a cluster on the back of his head.
She can indeed continue to be "smart" and use Liu Laozhu's money to make money for herself. Anyway, I have already said good things in advance, and whether I want to be a particular person or not is a thought.
But every moment when Liu Laozhu begged someone to bend over, she knew that Liu Laozhu's "getting better" was still not pure, and she also respected the old guy in front of her, since he had a goal, he could go out and work hard, even if he struggled in the gaps, he never flinched.
It's really strange, the bad old man who is obviously full of many shortcomings on his body, his heart and liver are half black, and she is stunned that the more she cooperates, the more she can dig out the shining points in the mess. And this little bit of shining place, even she doesn't have it, and she needs to learn from Liu Laozhu.
"Give it to you, go back and let Tian Xin copy a copy of the address of the batch of goods, what is missing, it is a big deal to earn money and buy it again, and it is not just to come to Fucheng once, it just so happens that the third child of my family followed him to write it down."
It's that she won't come back anytime soon.
Compared to this trip, she can buy all the things back, and let her son come out to buy goods, which is always a little uneasy. Forget it, how can there be so many perfect things.
Liu Laozhu was happy, and he reacted, yes, at least the Xu family will come again.
He didn't have time to congratulate him. I heard that the eldest brother just mentioned it, listen to the meaning, and then order "cotton".
Liu Laozhu reacted that he was embarrassed to accept the money, so he happily hid the silver money in the strip of cloth around his waist, and he made a belt with silver. is also panicked.
When I hid the money, I thought to myself: It's the uncle who borrows the money, isn't it? Why did he collect the arrears just now, and he had to look at his face carefully.
It's so sad, he must have been bullied out of the shadow by the eldest sister of the Xu family.
Liu Laozhu not only did not have the psychological burden to accept the money this time, but he also climbed the pole to mention the next purchase: "Yes, when I go back to Fucheng, I will lead your family to buy everywhere, and I must let him write down the route." In this case, if it is sold out and let your three boys help make up for it, our village can make more money. lest you sell your cotton and eat, and leave your car empty on the way back. ”
To live, he must settle the accounts carefully, and when he enters the cold and cold days of November, he does not have to endure hardship, and he will not go out in the near future.
Mrs. Xu said disgustedly: "Hurry up and write me a receipt, don't forget to press a handprint." ”
"Do you still need to write receipts?" It's a distrust of him.
yes, you just know?
Mrs. Xu put away the strips, and first urged Youcang and Liu Laozhu to go to sleep quickly, but she lifted the lid of the pot and stirred the porridge with a spoon.
The porridge should be boiled for at least two hours before it tastes bad.
Tomorrow morning, the big porridge with flatbread and pursed cabbage gnocchi pickles is everyone's breakfast.
Compared to eating potatoes and sweet potatoes for a few days on the road, this breakfast is already good.
I heard that Boss Liu doesn't charge money for food,
Not only confiscated, but also asked the two masters to steam four drawers of cakes in the empty cauldron, and wanted them to take away at dawn.
Boss Liu said: If there are many people from the village, he will collect a little. But this time it was all the juniors in the village, and there was only a table of villagers coming together. It stands to reason that those who are uncles during the New Year's Festival should be invited to dinner, not to mention that many junior boys have not seen each other for ten or eight years, and they have grown so big in a flash, they dare not recognize it when they touch their heads. If you don't eat anything good, how can you eat dry food and ask for money? That's not for the elders to poke their backbones. No matter how bad the uncle is, he still has the ability to entertain his nephews to eat homely meals.
Boss Liu's reason made Liu Laozhu, who didn't want to pay for food, even less psychologically burdened.
Mrs. Xu thought to herself: When you come back from Fucheng, you have to pass by here again, if Liu Laozhu still has money left at that time, she will put the meal money on the kang where they live when she leaves, and tell Qian Qiang to leave before leaving.
If Liu Laozhuhua's pocket is cleaner than her face, then wait for the next trip to her house to deliver the goods, and let the families in the village make up the gifts before leaving. Even if there are no good things to bring to Boss Liu, only some salted fish, drawer cloth, steamer or some more woven baskets and bath buckets, he can never stay and eat empty-handed.
Mrs. Xu finished mixing the porridge and simmered it with a pot lid before going into the house and lying down.
At that time, Xu Tianxin had already slept black and sweet.
Mrs. Xu felt that her ears were full of snoring, and when a kid was snoring, she couldn't breathe in a hurry, so she could only squint half-squint.
I was thinking about what I had to buy.
Like cotton clothes and pants for six people, and cotton and cloth, cotton is several times more expensive than refined salt, and I have the impression that the town sells 400 wen a pound of cotton, how much does it cost for six people.
I also want to make a double quilt cover for the house of Youliang and Qin Niang.
The small couple hugged a piece of fire, but there was no need to change the cotton quilt core, the quilt core was catkins, and the mattress under the body was a kang mat straw mat hot kang.
But the quilt cover in the second child's house had to be replaced, because it was all made up by Qin Niang piece by piece, and the smallest cloth head was only as big as the palm of the hand, and it was not enough to make up for the knees, which looked too sad.
Besides, if you don't change it, the little couple will break if they kick their feet slightly.
It's the other two boys' house, that's nothing. From the pants to the quilt that covers it.
In fact, Mrs. Xu originally planned to make cotton quilt cores and quilt covers, and even the mattresses were replaced with cotton. But I paid back the account forty taels in advance, and I still have to pull so much cloth for a few hundred pounds of cotton, and then I have to buy wine and peppercorns and other rice shops to use, which I really can't afford to change at one time.
It just depends on the situation.
Early in the morning of the second day, the group of Erdaohe Village set off.
Mrs. Xu and the others just left on the front foot, and Boss Liu on the back foot asked her nephew to send some fish floss to the post station diagonally opposite.
It wasn't until the afternoon that Yicheng took the time to come here.
Boss Liu asked his brother why he was so busy, and Yi Cheng said that he was busy changing all the inns, and also mentioned something to Boss Liu, so that he could prepare more quilts and mattresses.
Then Yi Cheng asked: "What you sent me there in the morning, is it really an exclusive craft?" How to sell? ”
Boss Liu: "Don't hide it from my brother, six taels of silver and one altar, you should know that this is excellent, six taels can not be lower, my brother wholesaled eight taels to others, and it is no problem to sell ten taels of silver in the official inn." ”
