What? Want it all
The proprietress was taken aback for a moment, and said, "This piece of cloth is forty feet long. Miss, do you know how much it costs?"
Shen Ruolan smiled and said, "One foot is ten Wen, and forty feet is naturally four hundred Wen, right?"
"Yes, yes, but the four hundred Wen..."
Before the proprietress could finish speaking, Shen Ruolan had already put a small silver ingot of fine silk color on the counter, and said in a calm tone: "In addition to this piece of cloth, I also need ten catties of cotton. May I ask how many kinds of cotton you have here? Can I take a look at it?"
"Uh, yes, yes, I'll get you this and that."
The proprietress hurriedly agreed, and quickly dragged out two bags from under the counter, opened them and displayed them in front of Shen Ruolan.
I thought that this beggar-like little girl was like those country girls who went to the city. When they came in to see the excitement, at most they would buy needles and thread, and if they broke the sky, they would buy a few feet of the cheapest coarse cloth. , It’s just a business of more than ten or twenty yuan. I didn’t expect that he was a big customer and bought so many things at once. The proprietress was really surprised and happy, and her attitude became very enthusiastic.
"Little girl, we have two kinds of cotton here, one is seven coins and the other is ten coins. Which one do you want?"
Shen Ruolan grabbed a handful of each bag and inspected it, and finally chose the one with ten cents a catty, and bought some needles, thread, scissors, thimbles, etc., plus money for cloth, cotton, etc., all in total. Five hundred and thirty-four essays were written.
With such a big business in the cloth shop all at once, the proprietress naturally gave her a lot of discounts. Although she didn't give in on the price, she agreed to help Shen Ruolan make a quilt, a mattress, a pillow, and a cotton coat for free. Cotton trousers and two sets of underwear and trousers, and if there are any leftover scraps of cloth, I can make a pair of shoes for her.
The thread money and manual costs for making these things add up to seventy or eighty yuan, and the proprietress waived it all at once, so the discount given to her is still very good.
After paying the money and making an appointment to pick up the goods ten days later, Shen Ruolan left the cloth shop lightly and went to a grocery store.
There are too many things missing in the house, and almost everything has to be re-purchased, especially the bathtub. She has been thinking about buying a bathtub for a long time, since the first day she wore it.
As a modern person, she can't stand a body that hasn't bathed for several months, and she can't bear a layer of disgusting black hair on her body. If today's money is only enough to buy one thing, she would rather not buy clothes For the quilt, you must also buy a bathtub.
Walking into the grocery store with such determination, she bought the best tub in the store without hesitation for 180 Wen.
Then, I bought two more basins of different sizes, one for washing the face and the other for washing the buttocks. As for the original broken basin at home, I will save it for washing feet or give it to cheap father when he comes back. Done.
Two pots are not expensive, and I spent fifty renminbi. I bought a pack of bath beans, a pack of soap powder, two catties of lamp oil, a pack of candles, ten bowls of different sizes, a pair of new chopsticks, and four soups. Spoon, four plates, two jars... Finally, I bought a stack of soft toilet paper.
The straw paper is used to wipe the butt, she really can't stand the toilet at home, she actually uses the broken straw for defecation, the sharpness of the straw makes the chrysanthemum hurt, and she always feels that it is not clean.
With these papyrus, her chrysanthemums will no longer have to suffer!
The sum of these things bought at the grocery store cost three hundred and twenty-eight coins in total. The boss generously wiped away the change of the eight coins, and offered to send Shen Ruolan back in the shop's carriage.
Shen Ruolan was worrying about how to move these things to a place where no one was around, and she didn't dare to just put them into the space so clearly in public. The boss's proposal was so considerate to her, she thanked her, and happily got into the carriage.
It's just that she didn't ask the driver to take her back to Kaoshantun, nor did she let the driver stop at Surabaya Street, but asked her to park the car at the entrance of a remote alley leading to Surabaya Street. Waiting here'.
She didn't want to go back to the village in a horse-drawn carriage ostentatiously. If she brought these old things back to the village, there would be an uproar in the village. It would be strange if her grandma and uncle didn't come to search for them. It's not their skill not to snatch her things away.
Moreover, the main reason is that she still has a lot of things to buy, and she doesn't want to go back so early.
The driver of the car didn't suspect him, so he helped her remove the tub and pan, and then left with a whip.
Shen Ruolan stood at the entrance of the alley, seeing that there was no one around, quickly put everything into the space, lowered her head and trotted all the way, and went directly to Surabaya Street.
There is not a grain of food in the house, so she has to buy some rice noodles, some millet, soybeans and mung beans!
It was already afternoon at this time. Calculated by modern time, it should be one or two o'clock. The market is still lively, and people from all over the world gather here. There are mountain products, agricultural products and handmade products.
There are also shopkeepers carrying burdens, the burdens are full of worthless gadgets, such as hair ropes, needles and threads, handkerchiefs, and cheap rouge hair oils, etc., and the objects they solicit are all the old country girls in the past without exception. little daughter-in-law.
It is quite similar to the scene of the modern market, Shen Ruolan looked at it with interest, and then walked forward.
"Er Yong, the sheep haven't been sold yet!" A familiar voice sounded.
Shen Ruolan paused, followed the prestige, and saw the aunt who was in the car with her in the morning standing in front of a small stall, asking kindly.
That peddler was Zhang Eryong. At this moment, he was squatting in a corner of the market, with the bound wild goat at his feet.
"Aunt Zhang, not yet!" Zhang Eryong replied.
Aunt Zhang went on to say, "Then why didn't they sell it to the restaurant? How many of us in this episode can afford such a big wild goat? If you bring it to the restaurant, it will be sold immediately."
Zhang Eryong frowned, with a gloomy expression on his face: "They lowered the price too low. My sheep weighed more than a hundred catties, and they only gave me one or two or four renminbi, which is not worth fifteen cents per catty. I can't accept it, so I won't sell them..."
When the aunt heard that there was one, two or four renminbi, her eyes widened enviously: "What? One or two or four renminbi is too little? That's money for nothing. Anyway, you didn't spend any money, so you just put in a little effort to get it Earn this money, this old money is still too little, why are you so dissatisfied?"
"I won't sell it, at least one or two or eight dollars, otherwise I'd rather take it back and raise it." Zhang Eryong replied in a low voice, feeling panicked in his heart.
This wild sheep did not cost any money, but he risked his life to fight it. There are many poisonous snakes and wild animals on the mountain, and there are cliffs and cliffs. The hardship and danger of catching this wild sheep are far beyond what others imagined. Much more.
Therefore, he cannot sell cheaply.
