Everyone thought that Meng Li had not been on the street for many years.
Meng Wudao: "Okay, my eldest sister can almost leave anyway, so why not go see the changes in the town? Three years ago, a wider official road was built from the county seat to the town. There are more cars and horses coming and going, and the town It has also become a lot more lively and prosperous. If this continues, it is not impossible that it will become a county one day."
"Brother, I am also going to the street. I will accompany eldest sister." Meng Yao said with expectation.
Meng Wu laughed loudly: "Our family is rich now. Let's buy you two flowers and snacks. Our whole family will go to the streets and buy some clothes."
Meng Ning shook his head: "I won't go. I have to do carpentry work for others. I still have clothes. You can buy your own."
In fact, the people in the second room all had several patches on their bodies, and even if they had clothes, they were just tattered clothes.
Meng Li took a look at her second brother's size. He was thin. It was difficult for fat people to buy clothes. It didn't matter if they didn't fit a thin person, so she didn't force her to go with him.
Now that you have money, it’s time for everyone to add something to their wardrobe. You can’t dress so shabbily all the time. A home must look like a home.
Lu Mu has now taken on three jobs. The first job is to deliver freight to the end street of the town, and the martial arts school is located near the street.
Just in time to send Meng Li back and forth.
He first went to the villager's house to load the goods, and then came back to pick up the two sisters.
If there is someone who can take care of the goods, the villagers of that family will not go to the street. Lu Mu will come back and give the money from the sale to the villagers. Over the years, Lu Mu has done his duty honestly and has never been greedy for a single coin. When he meets someone who wants to Even if he is a defaulter, he will still find ways to get money for everyone, so everyone trusts him.
Lu Mu not only helped the villagers transport things, but also became an intermediary to a certain extent. When the villagers were happy, they would give him a little extra tip.
The goods were pulled on the bullock cart. Meng Li and Meng Yao were sitting on it. Meng Wu was walking on the side. Lu Mu was holding the cow rope and walking quickly. Meng Wu was also walking fast.
Meng Li had no impression of this place. He took a look at the scenery along the way. The mountains and rivers were beautiful and majestic, with rivers intersecting them, forming canyons. It was early spring, the mountains were green, and there was light mist on the river. It felt like a fairyland on earth.
Arriving in the town, the bustling scene suddenly came into view.
There are many people selling agricultural products and game in the tile market on the street. Walking in, there are low shops and early food stalls. In the middle, you can see rows of teahouses and restaurants, many of which were newly built in the past two years.
Because it connects two counties, has an advantageous geographical location, and has a wide road, people come and go very frequently, and commerce is rarely developed in the town.
Lidya Su likes places with many people. It is easier to do things when there are more people, so she is quite satisfied with this period.
I took another look at the shops. There were many shops selling snacks, dried vegetables, wine, and various supplies.
Comparing the categories in the space, although many products are still empty, those items will appear when she earns enough silver to upgrade the space.
She has what these shops don’t have, and what these shops have, she has better alternatives.
Everyone had eaten egg pancakes this morning, so they weren't hungry, but Meng Yao still looked at the snacks quietly, after all, he hadn't been able to eat them since he was a child.
Seeing this, Meng Wu bought a large pack of sugar-roasted chestnuts for the two sisters.
Seeing that the boxing gym was about to arrive, he gave Meng Li a tael of silver.
"Sister, add some of your sisters' own things and buy some coarse cotton clothes for everyone. You two are girls, so buy something softer."
Meng Li can now walk without crutches, but she walks slowly. She can browse the shops properly, and there is a little girl watching by her side. There is no need to worry, so Meng Wu first handed her a couple of silver coins and asked her to arrange them. Let’s look at Third Sister’s ability in this area.
"Brother, there is a clothing store nearby. Let's go in and measure the size." Meng Li said.
If the second brother is not here, I can estimate it, while others can directly measure it more accurately.
"I have clothes to wear, you can buy yours." Lu Mu said.
"That's not okay. You just got married, and you are my uncle. What's the point of buying one and not buying the other."
Meng Wu pulled Lu Mu into the clothing store.
The store owner measured everyone's sizes, and the two sisters began to choose clothes for everyone.
Men can wear whatever they can, as long as they have something to wear, but the two sisters still carefully selected something good-looking and urged them to try it on.
Two grown men came out of the fitting room wearing new clothes, both feeling a little embarrassed.
How do you usually try on clothes? Wear whatever you buy.
Meng Li nodded: "Yes, it fits well and looks good."
Being looked at and praised like this, Lu Mu and Meng Wu had a touch of uncomfortable embarrassment on their faces, making the two sisters cover their mouths and laugh.
Originally one was handsome and cold, while the other was handsome and resolute. The contrast between them was so great.
Meng Li did not follow Lu Mu's instructions and treated everyone equally. Both sisters bought the same ingredients.
Although they are all relatively low-grade coarse cotton, the ones that are rolled tightly are known to be durable. Meng Li has a good taste and the styles she picked are also good. Everyone likes them.
Each one cost eighty cents, so in total, a family of five spent four hundred cents.
There are still six hundred articles left.
Meng Wu admired in his heart that although the eldest sister had bad legs and feet, she was very quick in organizing things.
Meng Wu entered the boxing gym, and Meng Li took a cursory look from the outside. This was actually a restaurant that combined eating and drinking with watching boxing and theater. There was a stage around the center of the first floor, and many guests were The stage was attracting people, and there were also cheering people who were enjoying themselves.
On the stage, there were two people boxing. They were going back and forth, some were real and some were fake, and some were real among the fake. With so many pairs of eyes watching, it was impossible to fool anyone with fake punches.
"Lu Mu, you go and deliver the things, while my little sister and I go shopping," Meng Li said.
She originally thought of following Lu Mu, but the younger sister also came. She was unsteady and needed someone to help her.
Moreover, Lu Mu was delayed for a while and might be in a hurry.
Then she stuffed thirty coins into Lu Mu's hand: "Second brother may just eat at the host's house. There is no cooking at home. If you are hungry, buy food by yourself."
Lu Mu would give all the money she earned to her eldest brother, which she used exclusively for him.
Then, he grabbed a large handful of sugar-roasted chestnuts from his sleeve.
The man was holding the cow rope in one hand and money in the other. Just as he was about to speak, Meng Li and Meng Yao had already left.
He looked at Meng Li's figure, his eyes still silent, and his eyelids moved slightly.
Meng Yao supported Meng Li and walked slowly.
Stopping in front of a stall selling small items from her daughter's family, Meng Li stopped and picked out a flower in her hair, a hair tie, a comb, and a small bronze mirror for her third sister. These things were not expensive, and they only cost thirty cents in total.
Meng Yao holds the cloth bag containing these things, with stars twinkling in his eyes, and leans on the eldest sister's arm affectionately.
"Sister, are we going to watch big brother boxing?"
"No, let's go to the biggest clothing store."
Since Meng Li came to the street, it wasn't just about looking and buying things.
"The largest one is called Caiyun Pavilion. It has three floors. The clothes they make are beautiful and the craftsmanship is good. Many people from the county come to their house to pick out clothes."
Meng Yao lost her confidence as she spoke, lowering her head, revealing her two braids: "Sister, our family can't afford it now."
