After coming out of the blacksmith's shop, Shen Ruolan's mood was not so beautiful.
I didn't expect that ordering two pieces of bronze wares would be so expensive, but I ordered a crossbow and twenty short arrows, plus a copper hot pot, and it cost her three taels of silver.
Three taels, three thousand yuan in RMB, too expensive!
However, although it was expensive, she still had to spend the money.
Take crossbows as an example, iron crossbows are particularly prone to rust. Once the arrow grooves are rusted, it will seriously affect the strength and accuracy of the arrows, and the attack power will also be greatly reduced. When that kind of situation happens, then she will be at a big loss, and it's okay to fight small, if one day she is defeated by the iron crossbow when she is fighting people desperately, will she have to die
Therefore, this money cannot be saved.
The same goes for copper hot pot. In her subconscious mind, charcoal-burning hot pot should be made of copper. She has never seen anyone use iron pot to cook hot pot. If she wants to save money, order an iron hot pot, in case it doesn’t work well Or if the brush came out with a bad smell, wouldn't her money be wasted
What's more, she has found a way to make money, and she will have a steady stream of money rolled into her pocket in the future. What are these few taels of money? It's just a drop in the bucket, and the flowers will be spent, so it's no big deal.
She gritted her teeth and took out the money to pay the money.
Fortunately, the order only needs to pay half of the price first, and the other half will be paid when the goods are picked up, otherwise, the little money left on hand will not be enough for her.
Of the five taels of silver I earned in Zuihuayin, I spent one tael or three for pens, ink, paper and inkstone, one tael for medicine, casserole and consultation fees, and two hundred and sixty taels for seasoning and groceries. The money and silver were returned to Zhang Eryong, plus the one-two-five-cent deposit that she had just paid in advance, she had only forty coins left.
For the forty Wen, she had to set aside the five Wen for the fare when she came back ten days later, so, to be precise, she only had thirty-five Wen left.
Hey, just now I was talking about a bare ingot of silver, but in a blink of an eye, there are dozens of copper coins left, why is this money so irresistible to spend!
Shen Ruolan looked helplessly at the big restaurant in the distance, and said in her heart that her wish to go to the big restaurant for a meal today would definitely not come true. With her little money, it might not be possible to order a good meal at the big restaurant, or Find a small, clean restaurant and deal with it for a bite.
She wandered around for a while, and chose a noodle restaurant with a neat door. After entering, she ordered a bowl of chaos and a plate of scrambled eggs with leeks. It's delicious, but it's a good meal if there are meat and eggs.
It was past lunch time, and Shen Ruolan was the only customer eating. The back kitchen quickly prepared her wontons and chive eggs and brought them up. Shen Ruolan picked up her chopsticks and started eating with her head buried.
Because she was so hungry, she ate a lot. She ate up a bowl of meat stuffed meat in a short while, and even the soup was gone. She ate up the plate of scrambled eggs with leeks. Clean as if brushed.
After eating, she burped and paid the bill. After checking that the time was almost up, she returned to Surabaya Street with a basket on her back.
When they went back, there were already two passengers in the car, and they all showed surprise in their eyes when they saw the completely new Shen Ruolan. I must have been surprised to see that she was dressed like a beggar when she came in the morning, but she changed into decent cotton clothes when she returned home.
Cotton clothes are nothing to the rich, but they are definitely a luxury to the country people who dig their way through the soil.
Because the country people have to work in the fields, they are either on the mountain or in the fields all day long. They wear coarse clothes on weekdays. Although the coarse clothes are rough and ugly, they are cheap and wear-resistant. Although this kind of cotton is soft and beautiful, and it is decent enough to wear, but this kind of fabric is delicate, and it will be scratched if scratched, and it is not wear-resistant, and it will be worn out after a few days of wearing.
The most important thing is that cotton cloth is frighteningly expensive. The money to make a set of cotton clothes is more than four or five sets of coarse cloth clothes. The country people have no money, so most people will choose to wear coarse cloth clothes. Cotton cloth is not suitable for country people to wear at all.
Shen Ruolan's outfit really attracted everyone's attention, even Shuan Zi, who was driving the car, looked at her a few more times, but he didn't say anything, and when those people came back, he yelled and drove the car to go back.
On the way back, several people in the car sneaked around Shen Ruolan with their eyes secretly, and occasionally whispered together. Shen Ruolan knew that it was because of her new clothes, and she didn't care. She leaned against the basket under the quilt Go to sleep with your eyes closed.
The carriage rattled along, trotted for a while, turned for a while, halfway through, it suddenly snowed.
The snowflakes drifted down one after another, and soon the world was stained white. Because of the sudden snowfall, the speed of the carriage had to be slowed down a lot, lest in case of slipping and slipping, no one would be able to leave.
Shen Ruolan was sitting in the car, watching the sudden heavy snow, frowning worriedly.
What's wrong with this
Suddenly it snowed so heavily, how could she go home later
Taohua Village is five or six miles away from their village. Even when the weather is good, the potholed road is not easy to walk. Now it will be covered with heavy snow, and it will be dark again when I get home. I don’t think she has to climb Are you going back
Emma, I'm so worried!
After struggling for a while, she reluctantly took out twenty cents, and said to Shuanzi in a negotiating tone: "Uncle, my family lives in a mountain village. Look, it's almost dark today, and there's still heavy snow plowing the sky." , the road from your Taohua Village to our backing village is not easy, or you can send me back, and the twenty Wen is my fare for you."
Shuanzi didn't take her money, and without even turning his head, he said casually: "Girl, it's not that I won't help you, you probably have heard that our whole family is pointing at this horse. As for the horses, I can't let my horse run on the mountain road in the snow for a few pennies. Let alone the mountain road, it's such a smooth official road. I can't bear to let it go on a snowy day. To be honest with you Well, I just didn’t know it would snow today, if I had known it would snow, I would say that I can’t get out of the car today.”
That's right, the driver of the car has already said so much, Shen Ruolan feels that everything else she said is superfluous.
She withdrew her hand in disappointment, and fell into sorrow again. It seemed that she really had to climb back today!
