Chapter 130: Here it comes
Because of moral constraints, he didn't speak.
You can't owe money to others and not pay it back, and only care about your own use, so who has it become?
Melon milk didn't expect that it was still true, kind and beautiful to go through the millennium.
Mrs. Xu's expression on her face was uncontrollable, like earning 3,000 yuan with a monthly salary, but spending 23,000 shopping in one day, and feeling the only seven taels of silver left in her pocket in a trance.
She felt like she hadn't bought anything, and the money wasn't enough.
Xu Youcang's expression was more blank than his mother.
And his share? Is he worthy, wearing new clothes, covering new quilts, and sleeping on cotton mattresses.
There was smoke and snow outside, and he couldn't stand it when he lay on the hot kang and enjoyed such great blessings.
And using new ones is a burden for him. Before entering the bed at night, you have to wash your feet before you dare to sleep, and you are afraid of scratching the wood when you wear new clothes. It was the ancestors who wore it.
"Mother, you and your niece and sister-in-law stayed behind and retreated our brothers. Our brothers have a lot of firepower, and we can make a list in winter, so isn't it a waste of money to wrap our brothers in cotton monkeys? Even if you make a lot of money this time, you can't be such a disaster."
Before buying a small stone mortar grinding disc, customize expensive wine strainers; Buy 25 wen a pound of extravagant yellow orange and jujube cake, as long as you eat it in your mouth, you can make your niece feel good, and you won't feel distressed, Xu Lao Santong will not squeak.
He can also see that the reason why his mother took him out is to value him for not talking much, and he has to give full play to his strengths as a saw-mouth gourd, otherwise his mother will be even more rare and sweet.
But the cotton and cloth were spent on him, and he felt he had the right to protest.
He said no, if his mother bought it hard, he would be angry.
I believe that the second brother and younger brother will know that they will also have the same idea with him in the future.
"Leave it to my niece to buy a pen. Mother, literacy is not something that can be achieved in a day, and it cannot be delayed while my niece is young."
Xu Laosan never thought that Xu Tianxin's study was to have the skills of his body.
Their brothers all think that the little girl can write and calculate, and she will be valued when she comes to her in-law's house. This aspect can be regarded as a major advantage to see others in the future. The niece will start to look at each other in two years, and the niece will be able to pick and choose a son in a large number of illiterate peasant families. This is the main reason why their brothers raised their hands in support of buying books.
Mrs. Xu was robbed by her third son and calmed down.
She sighed and said:
"It's not that your niece loves you, thinking that since your eldest brother is gone, in addition to making a few new clothes for Tian Xin'er over the years, your brother has been using strips of cloth to connect the length and shortness of his head.
Your niece says you don't need it, and she doesn't wear it. I didn't have to kiss my uncle and aunt, and I was dressed in tatters and covered sacks, and when my niece didn't have patches on her body, people laughed behind her back. Actually, who would laugh at it?
She was sensible and made excuses, and wanted the family to be blessed and shared, so I didn't stop her. Over the years, it's really time to change, that is, it has been changed thoroughly, and even a lot of clothes and face washkers have been bought.
Don't grind anymore, it's good not to upset me. Next time, the owner will not give this cheap price again. People said, no matter how much the replenishment has to be sold at a higher price, the coarse fabric is the bottom of last year's goods, and I didn't see that Liu Laozhu was wrapping up the circle upstairs.
I'm not happy when I just spent no money, so don't look for a fight."
Xu Youcang's momentum was a lot weaker, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Uncle Li Zheng beckoning and calling the village boy to go upstairs to move goods, it was indeed like there was no store in this village.
Xu Tianxin came out of the thatched house in Buzhuang, heard that the third uncle and donkey had a temper, and forced his grandmother to let him return the goods, and said with a straight face:
"The third uncle only cares about being stubborn, and he doesn't want to think that in previous years, he stayed at home in the cold, but this year he has to go out to work. Wear warm and not be frostbitten and frostbite is called really saving money. Do you want the milk to give you two taels of silver to take the medicine? Spending money on medicine is a waste of money, will you settle the account?"
Xu Youcang was worried when he mentioned the money for the two taels of medicine, and he said that he couldn't help the old lady and niece, so he put the goods in the car, and muttered unwillingly:
"But even if you want to dress warmer, there are people in the city who sell old quilts and old clothes, and it's not bad to buy the old ones, so why buy all the new ones, what kind of family? I don't dare to show off so much when I buy them back, for fear that others will come to borrow money, but where is the money."
Xu Tianxin's eyes lit up: "Third uncle, where is the seller of old quilts and clothes?"
Their family wanted to sell shoes to caravans, thinking that their shoes would get wet when they walked in the snow all the way, and they were worried that there was no cloth and cotton to make shoes.
It is not cost-effective to buy new cloth and fill shoes with new cotton. Just now, grandma was upstairs to settle the accounts, and the embroidered flowers are just ordinary cotton shoes, so how much does it cost to sell a pair to pay off? And I don't know how it sells, I'm worried that the rich people in the caravan wear animal skin shoes, and the yardage can only be around 42 yards, who knows if it will be sold all?
And you can try your hand with old cotton and old cloth, such as shoes, but it is a big deal that it is not sold for a few uncles to wear. You can also make sleeves, cotton hats, masks, gloves, in short, if you want to make money, the cost must be minimized. It is cost-effective to buy old cotton and use old cloth to make uppers.
"When you were buying the ingredients just now, we went to the market, and you saw that there was one in the car that your Li Zhengye bought, and he wanted to go back and sell it. He said that only in Oshihiro could you see such vendors."
Mrs. Xu looked at the car: I didn't expect Liu Laozhu to even turn old things upside down.
Mrs. Xu hurriedly took her granddaughter to the entrance of the market, and when she heard the clamor selling old clothes and quilts, many people were picking and choosing, and they also joined in.
What is used by people who are not dead, they don't care about that.
When I chosen, I also sighed in my heart: no wonder the clothes here are sold so expensive, cotton clothes and cotton are wealth, and they can be exchanged for food here.
It's just that the broken ones that her family eliminated are not good, and no one buys them. The Xu family is the only one whose grandparents and grandchildren are well dressed, even if they make new clothes and quilts, the old ones are also useful.
"Milk, look at this red cloth?"
"This piece is really good, cut off the eyes gnawed by the rats, and the rest is all new, just enough to return the piece of cloth that your fourth master made a flag for the village. Let's help buy it, and go back to ask you for money."
In the end, the grandfather and grandson picked and chose among several second-hand clothing vendors, and bought old bedding and old clothes for nearly a tael of silver, some of which looked dirty and asked for pulp washing when they got home.
Xu Laosan thought that the old lady was listening to his suggestion, and went back to the village to sell the new cotton material for them, and they could earn two, just give their brothers and sisters the old ones.
So this time I didn't stop spending money, less than one or two silver dollars can buy so much, it seems to have made a big bargain, and I took the initiative to carry four old quilts on my shoulders with both hands.
After buying the old things, there are still six taels left.
Xu Tianxin spent another one or two silver dollars to buy all the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, but it was not good, the ink was very smelly, and it belonged to the worst four treasures of the study on the market.
This is still considering that next time she and her grandmother can't come out with the delivery, they have to write paperwork for Yuhuanmian and Lu Song in advance to buy them in a hurry.
When he entered the bookstore, Xu Tianxin refused to spend money, and let Mrs. Xu say that the money was enough to buy a book. And to prevent grandma from spending money indiscriminately, the remaining five taels of silver in grandma's pocket were temporarily confiscated.
This bookstore in Fucheng is huge, and there are many scholars in it who are copying books to make money.
So when their grandparents and Xu Laosan entered, they only caused the shopkeeper to take a few more glances for fear that they would steal the books, which belonged to the key observation objects, but they were not stopped outside.
Xu Tianxin selected books introducing medicinal materials and books on the treatment of women's diseases, and finally wrote down the names of the two books on paper and handed them to Xu Laosan:
"Third uncle, I don't feel bad if I don't buy books this time, really, don't be depressed, do you see me like someone who is a month or two behind? I haven't been a student for so many years. When you make money on your next delivery, don't forget to buy it for me."
Xu Youcang solemnly put this small slip of paper with the title of the book in his heart.
After appeasing Xu Youcang, Xu Tianxin took his grandmother to the pharmacy to grab herbs.
Xu Tianxin knew that her grandmother's knot was that she didn't wipe her face oil, so she grabbed some medicine and made it herself, but it didn't cost half a tael of silver.
Xu Tianxin asked the medicine boy to help catch seven kinds of herbs such as atractylodes, angelica, baiji, white aconite, and white poria cocos to prepare and make seven white ointments.
This is the whitening mask she temporarily selected in the middle of several recipes in the live broadcast room.
Choosing seven white ointment is also to save money. Because of the fat recipe she used during the day, many of the ingredients would coincide with Qibai paste. You don't need to make a skincare product to grab a medicine.
The face fat recipe requires almonds plus white zombie silkworm, white poria cocos, angelica atractylodes and so on
The ingredients of the Seven White Paste, together with the mulberry leaves and the high liquor and lard she is about to brew, make the achievement an ancient version of Vaseline, which is very good to use in autumn and winter. Buying these herbs can make two kinds of face wiping.
Xu Tianxin thought about it, wrote a note and handed it to Uncle Xu.
Xu Youcang wondered, "What is this?"
"Third Uncle make a note of this pharmacy and help me buy these next time." This is the recipe for shampoo dispensing table.
Listening to the family members in the live broadcast room, the fragrance of shampoo made with these herbs can retain the four masters, which is the secret of the big pig's trotters to change their minds..q.
It can be seen that it will be fragrant, but this time you can't buy it, you have to leave money to stay on the road to buy some food and drink, and you have to buy some apples and pears.
In case they want to book a lot of fish floss, their family must have the capital to collect fish, and they don't know how the house is built and what is missing.
You can't be as insecure as grandma said expecting a table full of grandma to come back and give money. Who knows if a table full of grandma sells or not?
Mrs. Xu felt sorry for her granddaughter, and the child counted and remembered to be a housekeeper, and she had never worried about money in modern times.
The night before departure, Mrs. Xu used the sesame seeds left over from the last dim sum to make sesame paste and prepare to take it to eat on the road.
Mrs. Xu was busy in the stove room of the post station, thinking that she was going out to buy some white noodles to make pots and pastries to bring, when the gongs and drums suddenly beat outside. Let the brightly dressed people who live in the surrounding area come out to greet them, and ask the girls to carry flowers and branches in their arms, and the children ride their necks and applaud, trying to show off the welcome in their hearts.
Mrs. Xu suddenly heard a lot of people discussing, saying what kind of general to greet, the general is about to be stationed in the north, and people have already arrived outside the city to pass by here.
It was so noisy outside, I heard that the officials of the entire prefecture and city were urging people to carry the sedan chair or urging the groom to send it to the outside of the Shili Pavilion as soon as possible.
There were also small officials who came later, who had no horses, so they lost their hats in a panic and jumped back to pick them up.
At the same time, Liu Laozhu's eldest son's shop was close to the city gate, and the officials lined up one after another to open the city gate. The eldest man of the Liu family hurriedly grabbed a known official and asked what the general's surname was, and he heard that the surname was the same as what his father said.
When did his father become so capable?
If this is all said by his father, is it true that the mutual market is about to be opened?
