Chapter 17 Aunt Lan
Xiao Cui quickly looked at Zhang and said, "Auntie, I have never seen this pattern before. I think it is quite novel. I want to buy it and sell it to try it. Otherwise, you will embroider one of the peach blossoms and leave it here first. I just need to calculate your money. It is not easy for you to come here. "
"See what you said, my peach blossoms are ignorant. If you want them, take them." Zhang said in a hurry.
"How can that work? Let's see how many of them are in total." Xiao Cui said as she put the sunflower aside and then calculated.
After a while, Xiao Cui looked up and said, "There are seven cotton embroidered handkerchiefs in total. We sell them for five cents. I count you four cents, a total of twenty-one cents. Nine wallets are sold for ten cents. I count you eight cents, a total of seventy-two cents. There is also a thick embroidered handkerchief. This one is good and can be sold for three hundred cents. I count you two hundred cents. These should be added together," Xiao Cui lowered her head and thought for a while, and said, "It should be three hundred and seventy-three cents."
"Hey, I didn't expect to be able to sell it for so much money." Zhang was so happy that he was a little at a loss.
"Where is that sunflower?" Lihua asked.
"Don't worry, I can still forget this." Xiao Cui smiled and said, "Although it is cotton, the patterns are unique, and it can be sold for ten cents, which is eight cents. However, I don't know if you can find that grandma. Let's see if she has new tricks. We can pay for it in the embroidery workshop." Xiao Cui looked at Taohua and said.
"Can the embroidery patterns be sold for money?" Taohua asked indifferently, but she didn't know that her heart was already overturned.
"Of course, otherwise how could emerging patterns and accessories be sold so expensively?" Xiao Cui replied.
Suppressing the joy, Taohua said to Zhang: "Mom, why don't we go and ask that grandma after we go home."
Zhang naturally knew that the "grandma" did not exist, but he still nodded and said yes.
Lihua was silent, but she said in her heart that she was deceiving. Well, she had to admit that in fact her idea was to make the deception more violently.
When Xiao Cui settles the accounts, there are a total of 381 papers.
Zhang and Lihua were so happy that they didn't know what to say.
Taohua had no choice but to remind her helplessly: "Hurry up and calculate how much is the 10% withdrawal of this money?"
After being told by Taohua, Lihua then thought of what she said last time and said embarrassedly: "I can't count it."
Zhang also said, "I can't do it, either."
"It's better, Xiao Cui, how much do you calculate?" Li Hua said, handing over the wallet.
"Oh, it's not easy for you, so you'd better take it." Xiao Cui smiled and pushed the purse back slightly.
"How can that be done? You are also taking risks. No, you still have to give what you should give." Zhang said anxiously, afraid that the other party would not want it.
"Okay, I'll do it, it should be thirty-eight essays." Xiao Cui looked around and said.
After counting thirty-eight cents, Zhang held the purse in his hand tightly, and then he felt at ease. Several people said something polite and then Zhang took the pear blossoms and peach blossoms to leave the embroidery workshop.
After leaving the embroidery room, Jin Dazhong hurriedly came over. When he learned that the embroidery had sold for more than 300 cents, he couldn't help but smiled happily. He and Jingsheng also saved a lot of money, nearly 200 cents. In total, they had more than 500 cents in their hands, which was much more than the budget. The whole family was very happy. Then they discussed what to buy first. Last night, they discussed what to buy at home.
Finally, I decided to buy according to the distance.
So I went to the seasoning shop to weigh a jar of soy sauce, which was about two pounds, and it cost ten cents. This is one of the favorite seasonings used in peach blossom cooking in my previous life. By the way, with it, many dishes can be made, such as braised pork, which makes me drool if I think about it.
Then I also called half a pound of candy and spent five cents. It was really expensive, and the peach blossoms hurt a lot.
When I came to the butcher shop, I cut two pounds of pork belly, and it was gone forty cents. However, at Zhang's bargaining, the butcher shop owner gave them half of the frame of meat bones under the chopping board. However, the money was quite penny. Lihua was so angry that she kept shouting that she would not buy it. The boss said that she would spend a penny less, so she sold it for thirty-nine cents. However, Taohua laughed secretly, saying that the bones could be made into soup and were very nourishing, although the stingy boss could not see any diced meat on it.
Then she came to a blacksmith shop. Jin Dazhong bought three nails and spent three cents. The bed in the Taohua house was a little shaken. Buy some nails and went back to reinforce them. This was also what Taohua asked. She really went to bed carefully many times. Although Lihua told her that it was okay and the bed was very strong, she was still afraid that it would collapse by accident when she heard the squeaking sound.
Then I bought the tributes that needed to worship the Kitchen God on Laba on that day. I went to the rice shop and bought various beans needed for Laba porridge, which cost a lot of money.
Then he went to the cloth shop. Zhang said that the cotton I bought last time was not enough, so he had to make two more quilts, otherwise it would snow that the quilt at home would not be enough to cover it, and the cotton coat should be thicker. He also had to buy some items for the New Year gifts, so he pulled some practical cloth heads and used them in every household.
When he arrived at the last cloth shop, the boss immediately recognized a few people. When he saw Taohua, his eyes lit up and hurriedly came over from behind the counter. There were some customers in the shop, and another young man was entertaining.
"You guys are here, oh, this is my sister-in-law? She looks so good." The boss's wife said happily, smiling very kindly, but the pink on her face made people worry that it would fall off at any time.
Last time, it wasn't as thick as it was. Taohua's mouth twitched.
"How can you compare to the shopkeeper?" Zhang responded against his will, a little surprised by the woman's enthusiasm.
Jingsheng was pulled by Mingsheng and saw a gadget seller not far away. Jin Dazhong stood aside uneasy and finally hid at the door and waited for Zhang and the others.
"Oh, what my sister-in-law said makes people feel so comfortable when I hear it. What a shopkeeper who doesn't want a shopkeeper, just call me Sister Lan." The boss lady who calls herself Sister Lan said readily.
"Okay, then I will call you Sister Lan, Peach Blossoms come over, and call you Aunt Lan." Zhang said.
"Aunt Lan." The sisters said in unison.
"Oh, last time I thought about who could give birth to such a handsome pair of daughters. When I saw this mother, no wonder the two girls looked so handsome. Especially this peach blossom, not only is it good-looking, but its little mouth is also very sweet." Aunt Lan pinched the peach blossom's face and said fondly.
"Where are there." Zhang Shi was modest in her mouth, but her heart was as sweet as honey.
By the way, are you acquainted with relatives or doing business? Taohua muttered, and she still looked obedient and smiled sweetly at Aunt Lan, "Aunt Lan, you have such a good skin."
"Oh, why do you think I like you so much?" Aunt Lan simply picked up Taohua and said to Zhang: "I want to have this daughter."
Zhang just smiled and didn't answer.
"Aunt Lan, we want to buy some cotton cloth and cotton, just like the last time. I wonder if there is any more?" Seeing that it was not the main topic, Taohua had to ask on her own initiative.
"Yes, come here." Aunt Lan put down the peach blossoms and walked to the counter on the side, saying, "It was the last time, but the blue ones were sold out, and there were still some black and gray ones, either blue and apricot ones, and there were no other ones. It was the Chinese New Year, and there were a lot of people buying them."
Zhang looked at the cloth and said, "These are not bad either, we don't want much."
"I wonder if my sister-in-law wants to make clothes or quilts?" Aunt Lan asked attentively, her smile reminded Taohua of the flowers that were about to wither.
"Do it all." Zhang smiled slightly, not adapting to Aunt Lan's closeness.
Aunt Lan seemed to see it, so she didn't say anything more, just pointed at the cloth and said, "Okay, you mothers will pick you up first, I'll go and greet others."
"Then Aunt Lan is so enthusiastic." Lihua turned her head and looked at Aunt Lan and whispered.
"Well, yes. Didn't you come here only once last time?" Zhang asked.
"Yes, I've never seen it before." Lihua said.
Taohua opened her mouth and saw that although Aunt Lan was standing at the counter to greet others, her eyes were still swept to this side intentionally or unintentionally. Especially when she saw that she also looked at her, she smiled and made Taohua’s goosebumps all over the floor.
"I'm hungry, let's buy it quickly and leave." Taohua pulled Zhang and said.
Zhang agreed, then carefully selected the cloth surface, and then called Aunt Lan over.
"That's six-foot blue, six-foot gray, and five-foot apricot."
"Why buy so many?" Lihua asked.
"That's what we need to use during the New Year. We make apricot-colored quilts." Zhang replied.
"Well, my sister-in-law is really willing to let this cloth be used as a gift," said Aunt Lan.
"All of them are their own relatives, no outsiders." Zhang smiled.
"Okay, wait a moment and you will be covered by it immediately." Aunt Lan said, and then called the guy to come and help.
"I want another ten kilograms of cotton." Zhang said quickly.
