A group of people go out on the street, and Zhaodi is always the one who suffers more. He carries a bamboo basket and prepares meat and vegetables. He was holding the big fat gray goose that Liang Chuan had just won back in his hand, and he was smiling because there was another fat goose to eat later.
When he was just buying meat, Zhaodi pulled Yi Niang aside and secretly asked Yi Niang if he could help him buy an extra piece of meat. He used the pocket money Liang Chuan gave him. Yi Niang asked him: "Are you looking at the moment?" It’s Chinese New Year, do you miss your dad?”
Zhaodi's face was a little red, and he buried his face so that Yi Niang could not see his expression, and said softly: "I have followed you these days to eat meat and drink wine every day. My life is like that of a god. Tomorrow will be thirty, and I will arrive It’s time to go home, and I don’t want to go back empty-handed. Dad used to like eating meat, but he couldn’t eat it twice a year. I don’t want to stay at home tomorrow, but I want to give Dad a good bite.”
Yi Niang looked at Zhaodi with distress, knowing that the child was very kind-hearted, "You should go home tomorrow. We have no other family members and can only rely on each other. You are different, you still have a big family waiting for you. When you buy clothes later, help your dad buy a decent outfit, bring some meat and vegetables home, and then come back to help after the New Year."
"I don't want to go home. There will definitely be a quarrel at home tomorrow. Other people's homes are bustling during the holidays, but our family is always uneasy. I will take the things back, and dad can eat them. You don’t want me to stay at home and cause trouble, with my brother and sister-in-law quarreling like crazy.”
The group of people came to Zheng Ji's clothing store. The yellow banner embroidered with Zheng Ji at the door of the store was still so conspicuous. There are many men, women and children in the store, and they all come here to change into new clothes for New Year's Eve tomorrow. The last time I came to buy clothes for my brother Zhao, the store was quite deserted. In all walks of life, except for funerals, everyone has taken advantage of the Spring Festival as a good opportunity to make a lot of money!
Ye Xiaochai's clothes are relatively good, and she is also pretty. As the saying goes, a person depends on his clothes. She carefully selected a dress suitable for an artist, a blue brocade long skirt with flowers dotted on the skirt. plum bossom. Ye Xiaochai put the clothes in front of Yi Niang and gestured to see if they fit. Yi Niang was used to wearing burlap and rags, so she felt a little uncomfortable wearing such beautiful clothes. With the clothes placed in front of her, she felt a little at a loss as to what to do.
"Yi Niang, this skirt is so beautiful. It will look great on you!"
Yi Niang had a shy face and said a little bit shyly: "I can just buy any one. This skirt is too beautiful. It doesn't suit me." Yi Niang was heartbroken when she saw the brocade dress Ye Xiaochai picked out for her. She liked it very much, but when she thought that such a beautiful skirt must be worth a lot of money, she gave up the idea of buying it. In her eyes, no matter how beautiful it is, she can't go out and let loose. It is a sign of lack of womanliness. What's the point? , it’s just a waste of money.
Seeing that Yi Niang refused to agree, Ye Xiaochai turned around and said to Liang Chuan: "Boss, this skirt in this store is the most suitable for Yi Niang's sister. She is reluctant to buy it. You can't be stingy!"
Liang Chuan said generously: "Xiao Chai has really good taste. I also think this skirt suits Yi Niang best. I will ask the store to pick it up and take it away later. Don't worry about Yi Niang, Sister Li and Sister Yang." You also help them choose some clothes that fit them well. Don’t worry about money. Go out and spend money. All you want is to be happy!"
Liang Chuan's words made everyone feel warm in their hearts. Clothing stores are the most challenging for women. Liang Chuan and Zhaodi looked at them trying on various items in the store, and their eyes were tired.
The owner of the clothing store saw Liang Chuan in his eyes and knew that this was a wealthy owner who was so willing to spend money on these women. He laboriously introduced various styles of clothing, hoping to make more today. After all, it was not possible every day. Meeting such a generous Lord.
Zhaodi also picked out a piece of clothing by himself, and then picked out an outfit worn by an old man, which was prepared for his father. Liang Chuan was not interested in any kind of clothes, but he thought about it. The clothes on him and at home were all very worn out. He might have to meet some big shots or go to some important occasions in the future. The man didn't have a decent set of clothes. , it was not convenient to go out, so he looked around and picked a piece of clothes that fit according to several popular styles in Fengshan and Xinghua. Li Chuyi didn't come, but he couldn't be missing, so he had to buy one.
In the Song Dynasty, there were regulations on the style and color of clothes, so people could not wear them casually. However, Liang Chuan still felt that the styles of these clothes were a bit dull and old-fashioned, and wanted to make some suggestions to the shop owner. The shop owner was busy greeting customers, and there was no time for Liang Chuan to play the piano when he was looking for new year's goods.
After buying clothes, the next step is to buy new year goods.
The New Year goods to buy include all kinds of pastries, snacks, nuts, and candied fruits. These are sold in restaurants. When adults, children, relatives and friends come to visit, having something in their mouth to grind their teeth can make the atmosphere much better.
A large part of the New Year's goods are superstitious items used for sacrifices, such as incense sticks, tin foil, lanterns, flowers and honey for Buddha, etc. We also need to buy Spring Festival couplets, pen and ink, which will be posted on the door tomorrow, and the first few stickers of Stove God. I already bought it, so there is no need to change it again.
Most of these New Year's goods are sold in Zheng Kee's grocery store. The goods in the grocery store change according to the seasons and festivals, and try to provide the items that people need at the moment. For example, during the Chinese New Year, they sell Spring Festival couplets, incense candles and other new year products, during the Lantern Festival, they sell lanterns and colorful candles, and during the Double Ninth Festival, they sell moxa leaves and dogwood. , so that business will be good.
When the shopkeeper of Zhengji Grocery Store saw Liang Chuan Yiniang and Zhao Di, he suddenly remembered the three of them. There was no way, the two axes in the shop had been kept in the shop for too long. Qiahao was only good at it when he met Liang Chuan, a man with great strength, and was bought by Liang Chuan. Otherwise, the two axes were stored in the shop. He doesn't know how many more years he will have to eat ashes, and the memory of Liang Chuan's last time playing with stone locks was so profound that he didn't dare to forget it!
The shopkeeper warmly entertained Liang Chuan and said, "My uncle, you are doing well lately. The shop has recently received a batch of sharp iron forged axes. I wonder if you would like to try them out?" The shopkeeper has a very discerning eye. Well, the last time he came here, Liang Chuan brought a girl and a younger brother. This time he came with three more girls, and they were pretty good-looking! It seems like I'm doing okay.
When Liang Chuan heard that there was something in his words, he chuckled and said, "The shop owner is very polite. The ax I bought last time was very useful. It would be a pity to replace it so soon!"
"Just show off your skills. Since we're not here to buy axes, let me help you guys find something if you need anything."
"Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. I'll buy some Spring Festival couplets and put them up when I go home. I'll also buy some incense candles, paper money, and tin foil. I'll use them later to worship the gods."
"Oh, just in time, at the end of the year, the store just bought a batch of high-quality Baiya incense sticks. The smell is strong but not overpowering, long-lasting, refreshing and refreshing. How about it? How many handfuls do you want?"
"My wife will pick it up later. How do you sell these Spring Festival couplets?"
"Oh, unfortunately, my guest, a large number of Spring Festival couplets came into the store, but they were all sold out within two days. Now the paper is red, and there is no writing on it. How about some of them, my guest?"
"If you don't have any words, just don't have any words. Go back and write it yourself!"
The shopkeeper was frightened by Liang Chuan's strength last time, but this time he was frightened by Liang Chuan's words. This young man can also write, which is rare. His limbs are so well-developed, it's hard to tell that his mind is not simple.
The shopkeeper greeted Liang Chuan and his entourage diligently, but suddenly there was a commotion outside the door, and a large group of people came! A group of people walked in the middle with a little old man in their arms, looking very grand. The shopkeeper took a closer look and didn't expect that his boss was bringing the eldest lady to visit these guys!
The shopkeeper couldn't take care of Liang Chuan and the others. It was true that customers were the source of business, but the salary was provided by the boss. If he neglected the customers, he would lose one business. If he neglected the boss, he would have to pack up and go home to raise pigs. At this time, the shopkeeper looked like an upright middle-aged man. He rushed to the door with big steps and greeted his boss respectfully: "Happy New Year, boss. What kind of wind is blowing today? Is it going to blow you away?" Invited!"
The owner is none other than Zheng Ruoying’s father, Zheng Yiqian.
Zheng Yiqian said: "Lao Zhu, you are the veteran of our Zheng family. The Zheng family cannot do without the strong support of you old guys over the years. Today is twenty-nine. Ying'er asked me to come to the store if nothing happens. Come around and see you!"
The shopkeeper surnamed Zhu has lived a long time, and he can tell that this is a compliment to him, and it is also to create a reputation for his daughter. However, he cannot refuse the boss's face, so he still has to pretend to be flattered and say: "What are you talking about, boss?" , If the boss hadn’t rewarded us with a bite of rice, we don’t know where it would be hung to dry now. The eldest lady has a bodhisattva heart and knows how to appreciate us old guys, which is our blessing."
Zheng Yiqian took a look at the scene in the grocery store. It was full of people, and he felt even more happy. He winked at Zheng Ruoying. Zheng Ruoying held a piece of silver wrapped in red paper in front of Shopkeeper Zhu and said, "Uncle Zhu has worked hard for our Zheng family this year. I hope Shopkeeper Zhu will use his spare energy for our Zheng family in the coming year. Uncle Zhu, this is a little thought, I hope you will accept it!"
Shopkeeper Zhu didn't expect to receive a red envelope today. After trying to avoid politeness, he accepted the red envelope with fear and said a lot of polite words of gratitude.
Zheng Ruoying saw that shopkeeper Lao Zhu was so happy, and she felt very happy. She took a look at the situation inside the store, and there was a person she knew standing inside.
Liang Chuan also saw Zheng Ruoying and thought to himself, this place is really strange. Every time he comes, he meets this girl. Zheng Ruoying's eyes drift towards Liang Chuan intentionally or unintentionally. As a parent, Where can't be seen.
