Rebirth of farming for a living

Chapter 21 Buying New Clothes



On this day, the weather was gloomy, but Li Qiuyan got up very early. She had agreed with Wang yesterday that they would go to town together today.

Mrs. Wang had already prepared face wash for Li Qiuyan, but the well water was a bit cold at this time. Mrs. Wang put in a ladle of hot water, which was steaming.

Li Qiuyan covered his face with a towel and felt that all his limbs were stretched.While washing my face, I was thinking about what I would buy later.

"Eat quickly, let's leave after eating." Mrs. Wang put the peeled eggs into Li Qiuyan's bowl. Li Qiuyan swallowed it in one bite, drank two mouthfuls of porridge in a hurry, and set off with Mrs. Wang.

At the door, Lao Jin's bullock cart was already waiting. When he saw Wang coming out, he got out of the cart and helped carry the porcelain jars onto the cart, then set off with a shout.Li Qiuyan shrank his head, the weather was really cold today.Thinking about Wang's running around every day, he must be very tired.I don’t know how hard it is to work in winter.Sighing, Mrs. Wang hurriedly covered Li Qiuyan's hand: "Ayan, if you feel sleepy, just sleep for a while." Li Qiuyan shook his head and looked at the crowd on the road, feeling peaceful in his heart.

Arriving at the pier, as soon as Wang set out, she was surrounded by a circle of people. "I want one spoon." "I want two spoons!" "Put more cucumbers for me, my mother-in-law loves to eat them." Looking at the commotion, Li Qiuyan, who was in charge of collecting the money, wished he had two more hands, and couldn't help laughing. Narrowed his eyes.After a while, fourth uncle Li Xiangbei also came over, and he quickly helped scoop vegetables.When Wang came to collect the money, it was much faster.At this time, Li Qiuyan finally freed up his hands to observe the dock.

I saw many small vendors next to the pier, including those selling steamed buns and pancakes, but their business was not as good as their own.However, since they sell food and drinks, there is no competition, which has boosted their business to a certain extent.Therefore, no conflicts occurred.

Soon, the two large jars of braised pork brought were sold out.Li Qiuyan said goodbye to his fourth uncle, and took the guy and the few pairs he had just bought to Lao Jin's car. He also told Lao Jin that he should not invite other guests today and wait for him.Then we went shopping with Mr. Wang.

The two went to Cloth Village first and asked for forty kilograms of cotton alone. Li Qiuyan originally wanted more, but Wang refused, so that was all.

Wang chose two more pieces of fabric for Li Qiuyan, one peach red and one pink, and planned to make two pairs of cotton jackets and trousers for Li Qiuyan.Li Qiuyan couldn't help but twitch his lips, and finally, under struggle, he chose a moxa green piece and a bright yellow floral piece.I picked another piece of jasper color for Wang, and then pulled out a few feet of navy blue, planning to make a set for Awang and Li Xiangnan.

Wang thought for a moment, then picked a piece of pink cotton with white flowers, and ordered two pieces of indigo quilt tops and several feet of white cloth.When she saw pink, Li Qiuyan wanted to refuse.Mrs. Wang said that she would make a kang for her.Li Qiuyan was secretly happy and didn't care about the color.

Just in the cloth store, the two of them spent a lot of money selling braised pork during this period.Li Qiuyan thought to himself that if he hadn't made some money from doing business, he would have to wear old cotton-padded clothes this winter.

After leaving the cloth store, the two planned to go to the grocery store, but they saw an old man setting up a stall on the roadside with a basket of round things in front of him, but no one seemed to recognize what they were and no one asked about the price.

The old man raised his head and saw Li Qiuyan and Wang standing in front of him, and said: "This is a good thing from the Western Regions. You can take this basket of one hundred coins." Wang grabbed Li Qiuyan and was about to leave: "Yanyan, this I haven't seen anything yet, but I still want a hundred coins, let's go." Li Qiuyan thought to himself, isn't this a sweet potato?If you don’t know me, it must be because it hasn’t been promoted yet?She was happy in her heart, but she pretended not to care: "One hundred coins is too expensive. I want fifty coins." The old man was a little reluctant to give up. Seeing that Wang was about to drag Li Qiuyan away, he hurriedly said: "Hey, take it away. . You have taken a big advantage." It turned out that the old man didn't know what this thing was. It was given to him by a passing businessman. He didn't understand what it was. He wanted to sell it at a good price, but no one cared about it.Finally, someone asked and it was sold.

Wang didn't understand why Li Qiuyan had to do this, but the villain in Li Qiuyan's heart was dancing.Sweet potatoes are here, vermicelli, will the fans be far behind?

After delivering the things to Lao Jin's car, Li Qiuyan went to the grocery store to buy spices, a new kang mat, a basin for washing his face, a basin for washing his feet, and new jasmine-flavored soap.She was embarrassed to say it before, but now that she finally has money, she is not willing to settle for anything anymore.The two packed Lao Jin's car full and went home satisfied.
