MTL - Take a Husband for Farming-Chapter 13
Just make her a body, isn't Hibiscus planning to ask for it? "Brother, let's go to the cloth shop first!" In the future, there will be more opportunities to deal with Wu Treasurer. "Brother, let's do more!"
Hibiscus felt that Mu Rouzang didn't understand the difficulty of having no money. "Sister, just make it for you. Brother, you can still wear clothes. You see, this is what my father used to wear, and I will not wear it for a few years Question. "Hibiscus yanked oversized clothes. The clothes his mother used to make had long been worn out.
"Brother, what will you do? In the future, we will still talk to the shopkeeper Wu. Brother is the pillar of the house. Can you not wear it better?" Mu Rouzang didn't think that she should not spend money after earning money. Yes: Only women who can spend money can make more money! "Sister, let's go and see!" The two didn't even know how much the cloth cost, but they were thinking about making some clothes.
Hibiscus took Mu Rouzang to ask passersby, saying that they had separated from the adults, and had previously scheduled to meet at the cloth shop door. Mu Rouzang secretly gave her thumbs up, it seems that her cheap brother is not a pedantic person.
The two came out of the vegetable market, and it turned out to be the commercial street next to it. The town is so big and the busiest and bustling is here.
The two walked forward and saw a cloth store, where Hibiscus pulled Mu Rouzang into the door. She shook her head. "Brother, don't worry! Let's look for it again!" My oldest favorite was shopping, and my favorite shopping was shopping, whether it was quality or price. Mu Rouzang has a set of his own empirical theories.
Hibiscus lowered her head and asked her, "Sister, aren't you going to buy cloth for clothes? Why go through the door and not enter?" She pointed to the door and explained, "Brother, look, all beginners are in Chinese clothes, look at it again. Look at us. "Hibiscus looked down, grinning bitterly," My sister is right, this kind of shop is not accessible to the poor. "
Mu Rouzang's original intention was to teach him how to observe, not to attack him and make him humble. "Brother, you are wrong. I mean, everyone who enters this store is dressed in exquisite Chinese clothes. You can see the sales level of this store from the purchasing power of customers. Oh, that is, from their clothes, You know, the stuff in this store is too expensive. And the fabric we need is impossible to buy in this store. "
Hibiscus nodded and said, "Sister is reasonable, hasn't she told you before?" Oops, Mu Rouzang was on the whim, and was a little ecstatic. "Yes, my mother came to the town to sell embroidery. Said at the time. "Almighty cheap mother-in-law, can drag out the bar.
Hibiscus noticed this time, "Sister, look, there is a family in front. The ordinary people go in, this one should be good." Mu Rouzang still shook his head and pulled him to go forward, "Sister, why not go in This one. "Mu Rou Sang turned back and pointed to the crowd at the entrance of the shop." Brother, this shop is so good that it's not rare to do our business. "With so many people, the business in this shop must be good, Then they will not be given the opportunity to bargain.
Mu Rouzang pulled him forward and walked for a long time. At the end of the street, Mu Rouzang saw sharply in an alley that there was a cloth seller. She pointed to the guise of "money in mind", "Brother, this is it."
Hibiscus touched her head and asked her in confusion, "Sister, why did you choose this one!"
She pointed to the door of Menko Luoque's shop. "Because it's deserted here, and it's not a shop selling Chinese clothes. Let's go and see!" He waited for his consent and went into the shop with hibiscus.
The two entered the shop, and an old shopkeeper in front of the counter was lying on top of it and dozing off. Mu Rouzang jumped up, "Treasurer!" Alas, fell down, well, she played frog jumping again. With a few beeps, the old shopkeeper opened his eyes confusedly and wiped his saliva. "Little boy, you call me?" He asked at Hibiscus.
The corner of the mouth of Hibiscus was slightly raised, and Mu Rouzang frizzled. "Uncle Treasurer, it was me shouting, it was me shouting!" She jumped up again, the counter was too high, and the shopkeeper had never seen her before. "Little girl, what's the matter!" Anyway, nothing to do, the shopkeeper teased Mu Rouzang.
Mu Rouzang asked crisply, "Treasurer, we want to buy two thick cloths, you can have them here!" There was a row on the counter of the others, and there were a lot of ashes in the innermost ones. The business in this shop is really deserted. Mu Rouzang smiled and narrowed his eyes.
The shopkeeper looked up and down on her and Hibiscus. Although the clothes were torn, they were neatly packed. "Little girl, your grown-up! Buy cloth or call your grown-ups!" Mu Rouzang's family has only one elder brother, and there are relatives.
She turned her eyes small and small, "The shopkeeper, my father and mother are all there to sell vegetables there, and now when it ’s busy farming, my father and mother have no time to come. I told us specifically that this location is here, and also said This shopkeeper is kind enough. "
Hibiscus took a step forward, "Treasurer, my father and mother sent us to buy some cloths and make clothes for my sister and me. I bought them according to the usual coarse cloth, but the color depends on our own preferences." That being said If the fabric is expensive, he is not going to buy it, but only buy one for Mu Rouzang.
When the shopkeeper heard it, it must have been a regular customer. He couldn't get over it before sending his child. "Yes, you want coarse cloth, right? It costs 15 penny a foot for pretty colors, and 14 penny a foot for dark colors." When Hibiscus was young, his father taught him how to enlighten him. Posted. "Treasurer, how much cloth do our children need to make clothes?" The shopkeeper glanced at him and said to him, "What you say is two and a half feet, and this little girl is one and six or seven!"
Mu Rouzang looked at these cloths, and the hairs have been worn on the edges of the cloth. This cloth is not new this year. "Treasurer, these cloths, these are the same suits that I came with my mother last year!" Mu Hiroyuki was generally stupid, when did my sister come last year. He was also very clever and did not interrupt her at this time. The shopkeeper wiped the sweat on his forehead, and the little girl's eyes were too spicy, and I remembered it well.
"That, yeah, little girl, you're old customers, I'll make it cheaper for you!"
Mu Rouxang looked at the shopkeeper. "Uncle, I thank you first, how much is this piece of cloth?" She pointed to a pair of dark blue cloth and a pair of dark blue cloth. It was her choice for Hibiscus. The shopkeeper looked at it, "Okay, this one sells for 14 cents a foot, how can I sell you 13 cents a foot!"
"Treasurer, you are all Chen cloth last year!" Mu Rouzang pointed out politely. The shopkeeper's face couldn't be hung up, "Little girl, I'm already cheap!"
"I have two and a half feet each of the two colors of the shopkeeper, and the light cloud and pink cyan each have a foot of seven. Both cost twelve penny a foot." Some of the shopkeeper hesitated, Mu Rouzang again. Add fire, "treasurer, you see, the old two colors I asked for a total of five feet, this bright color I only have three feet four, in fact you are still very cost-effective." One pass, "Little girl, I'll sell it to you at this price, but I can't tell others." It's almost noon. It's a rare business to open a business and make a little money. Although the profit is a bit thin, anyway, there are many cloths sold.
Without talking about Hibiscus, Mu Rouzang clapped. "The treasurer, how many copper plates are there!" The treasurer pulled out an abacus, "Little girl, I removed the fraction and received 104 copper coins in total!" Hibiscus He stepped forward and took out the copper plate, and he only put a total of 150 copper coins in his pocket. Paid money and pulled Mu Rouzang out of the store.
Hibiscus was a little upset. "Sister, why don't you talk to your brother, and now you have a lot of money." Hibiscus is very distressed, so I have taken away a few days of rations.
Mu Rouzang quickly courted and said, "Brother, these clothes must be bought. We have to deal with the shopkeeper in the future. We can't dress too shabby!" Ma Rouzang didn't think she was wrong.
"But, sister, then we just need to pull a piece of cloth, why buy so much." Mu Hizhi is really a good brother, even if he is not happy, he can't bear to scold her. "Brother, in ten days, the vegetables in our back garden can be sold. This time I plan to buy some needlework and chicks to go back. By then, my brother will have money to go to school." Figured it out.
"Sister, you still want to raise chickens, but our family has no food!" Mu Hi-zhi heard some emotions, and he also wanted to have a better life. At a young age, he had a life that was out of breath. a feeling of.
"Brother, it's spring now. When it gets bigger, corn seedlings will grow taller then. Brother, then you will keep the chickens in the corn field and let them find insects for themselves. You can go to school every day. , Pull some wild vegetables along the way, weeds come back to feed them. Besides, a lot of wild vegetables have been planted behind our house, should be enough for them to eat. So easy to raise? Of course, Mu Rouzang has room, and she is not afraid of chicken plague.
Hibiscus thinks she has a certain truth, but she still needs to educate her, "Sister, brother is not against you buying things, but our family is really in a bad situation now, brother wants to live with her sister in the future. Better. "Especially in winter, he no longer wanted to leave Mu Rouzang to go out for dinner. He was afraid his sister would leave, leaving him alone in the world.
Mu Rou Sang looked at the contents of the basket. "Brother, let's buy some embroidery threads and rags!" Mu Rou Sang pulled him and went up the street. "Brother?" Mu Hibiscus stood still, "Sister, mother was because of doing too much embroidery ..."
"Brother!" Mu Rou Sang was really touched. "You can rest assured, I won't. Besides, I'm still young and my body is so good. I promise, I'll do less embroidery work after we get better." She didn't want to develop this skill in the long term. For her, it's just a hobby, it's a cover for getting rich.
The image of the hibiscus is iron-hearted, "Sister, let's be poor if you are poor. Most brothers don't go to school, and go to the mountains to sell firewood!"
"Brother, you really don't need to worry, you also know that if you go to study for a few years, it is far better than going to the mountains to play firewood for a few years, isn't it! Even in the future, you need to be literate as a tent-man Mu Rouzang's words are not unreasonable. These activities have wiped out a large amount of light literacy, and the ancients even had problems with food and clothing, so the number of literate people was really scarce.
"Brother, you think, if you come back after taking a test, that uncle's family would dare to coax me to a bad old man like last time?" Mu Rouzang was in the middle of his weakness.
"Sister, it's brother. It's not good. It's because the brother is useless. You can't embroider when our family is better. When we buy more chickens later, I will dig more wild vegetables to feed them after school." Hibiscus felt that instead of being bullied by the uncle's family, he might as well grit his teeth first to make Mu Rou hard, at least, when she got older, he could really protect her.
"However, little girl, I don't think you look like you need that purse!" Although Mu Rouzang is poor at home, Hibiscus is really a good brother. He can do laundry and cook every day. Although it was broken, it was still very clean.
"What about those silk threads!" She also pointed to various colored silk threads. "Look what kind of silk you want, different textures and different prices, silk is the most expensive, and the embroidered flowers are the finest, twine, and cotton, the price is different. Of course, the prices of thick and thin threads are not the same. "When the boss asked her to ask these questions, she knew that someone in her family would embroider. "Little girl, but someone in your family can embroider?"
