Due to moral constraints, he did not speak.
You can't refuse to pay back money you owe others and only care about your own expenses. Who will you become?
Melon Milk didn’t expect that she would still be true, kind and beautiful after traveling through thousands of years.
Mrs. Xu couldn't control the expression on her face. She looked like she was earning 3,000 yuan a month but spent 23,000 yuan on shopping in one day. She felt in a daze as she touched the only seven taels of silver left in her pocket.
She felt like she didn't buy anything, and she didn't have enough money.
Xu Youcang's expression was blanker than his mother's.
And his share? Is he worthy of wearing new clothes, covering himself with a new quilt, and sleeping on a cotton mattress?
There was smoke and snow outside, and he couldn't bear to lie on the hot bed and enjoy such a great blessing.
And using new ones is a burden for him. You have to wash your feet before getting into bed at night before you dare to sleep, and you are afraid of wearing new clothes that will be scratched when you work splitting wood. How can this be happiness? Those who are covered and clothed are the ancestors.
"Mom, you, your niece, and your sister-in-law are staying here, while our three brothers are retreating. We brothers are so powerful that they are enough to make a single outfit in the winter. It is not a waste to wrap our three brothers into cotton monkeys. Money? Even if I make a lot of money this time, I can’t be in such trouble."
In the past, I bought a small stone mortar and a grindstone, and customized expensive wine filtering utensils; I bought luxurious orange and jujube cakes worth twenty-five cents per pound. As long as the food satisfies my niece's craving, I don't feel bad about it, and Xu Laosan goes all the way without making a sound.
He also figured it out. The reason why his mother took him out was because he didn't talk much. He had to make full use of his strengths and become a gourd, otherwise his mother would be more interested in the sweet-tongued fourth child.
But the cotton and cloth were spent on him, and he felt he had a right to protest.
He said no, and he would be angry if my mother forced her to buy her.
I believe that the second brother and younger brother will have the same idea as him when they find out.
"Hurry up and buy books and pens for your niece. Mom, literacy cannot be achieved in a day, and there is no time to waste it while my niece is still young."
Xu Laosan never thought that Xu Tianxin was studying because he wanted to have special skills.
The three brothers all believed that if the little girl could write and do math, she would be valued by her husband's family in the future. This aspect can be regarded as an important advantage when looking at others in the future. In two years' time, my niece will start to see each other, and she will help others by herself. In a farmhouse where there are a lot of illiterate people, the niece will be able to take care of the son-in-law. This is the main reason why the three brothers raised their hands to support buying books.
Mrs. Xu was beaten to calm down by her third son.
She sighed and said:
"It's not that your niece loves you. Since your eldest brother passed away, apart from making a few new clothes for Tian Xin'er in the past few years, your brothers have been using strips of cloth to connect their lengths.
Your niece said you don't use good ones, and she doesn't wear them either. The uncles and aunts who had no relatives were dressed in rags and covered with sacks, and the niece was laughed at behind her back because she had no patches on her body. In fact, who can laugh?
She was sensible and made excuses. She wanted the whole family to enjoy the blessings together, so I didn't stop her. After all these years, it was indeed time to change it, but it was so thorough that I even bought a lot of lining material and face kerchiefs.
Don't bother me anymore. It's a good thing and don't make me upset. The boss will not give you this cheap price next time. People have said that no matter how much replenishment is required, the price will be increased before the goods are sold out. The coarse cloth is the lowest stock last year, and Liu Laozhu is wrapping it up upstairs.
I just didn't have any money and I was already unhappy, so don't bother me. "
Xu Youcang's aura was much weaker. When he looked up, he saw Uncle Li Zheng waving to the village boys to go upstairs to move goods. It was indeed as if there was no such shop in this village.
Xu Tianxin came out of the Buzhuang hut and heard that his third uncle had lost his temper and forced his grandma to return the goods. He said with a straight face:
"Uncle San is just being stubborn. He doesn't want to think about how he stayed at home when the weather was cold in the past, but he has to go out to work this year. Wear warmer clothes to avoid frostbite and frostbite, which will really save money. Don't you want the milk to cost you two taels? Money is used to buy medicine? Spending money on medicine is wasted money, do you know how to settle the score?"
Xu Youcang was worried when he mentioned the two taels of medicine money. He couldn't deal with his mother and niece, so he put the goods in the car and muttered unwillingly:
"But even if you want to dress warmly, there are people in the city who sell old quilts and old clothes. It's not a good idea to buy old ones. Why buy them all new? What kind of family is this? I don't dare to show off to others after buying these, for fear of buying so much. When people come to borrow money, there is no money."
Xu Tianxin's eyes lit up: "Uncle Third, where is the seller of old quilts and clothes?"
Their family was making shoes to sell to caravans, and they were worried that the shoes would get wet if they walked in the snow. They were worried that they did not have the cloth and cotton to make shoes.
It’s not cost-effective to buy new fabric to tailor or fill the inside of shoes with new cotton. Grandma was doing the calculations upstairs just now. The embroidered flowers were just ordinary cotton shoes. How much would it cost to sell a pair to make back the money? And I don’t know how the sales are going. I’m worried that all the rich people in the caravan wear animal skin shoes, and the size can only be about 42. Who knows if they will all be sold?
But you can try using old cotton and old cloth, such as shoes. At worst, they won't be sold to a few uncles. You can also make sleeves, cotton hats, masks and gloves. In short, if you want to make money, the cost must be minimized. It's a good deal to buy a piece of old cotton and use the old cloth to make shoe uppers.
"When you were buying ingredients just now, we went to the market entrance. You saw what your Mr. Li bought on the car. He wanted to go back and sell it. He said that only big cities can see this kind of vendors."
Mrs. Xu glanced at the car: I didn't expect that Liu Laozhu would even throw away his old things.
Mrs. Xu hurriedly took her granddaughter to the entrance of the market. She heard old clothes and quilts being sold, and many people were picking through them, so they both joined in.
It's something that can't be used by anyone, so don't worry about that.
When I was choosing, I sighed: No wonder the clothes here are so expensive. Cotton clothes and cotton are wealth, and they can be exchanged for food here.
It’s just that no one buys the shabby ones that her family has discarded. Only her grandfather and grandson are well-dressed in the Xu family. Even if they make new clothes and quilts, the old ones are still useful.
"Milk, look at this red cloth?"
"This piece is really good. The holes that were gnawed by mice have been cut out, and the rest is for new purposes. It is just enough to return the piece of cloth that your Fourth Master used to make a flag for the village. I will help you buy it, and I will take care of you later. Want money."
In the end, the grandfather and grandson chose among several used clothes vendors and bought nearly one tael of old bedding and clothes. Some of them looked very dirty and needed to be washed at home.
Xu Laosan thought that his mother had listened to his advice and went back to the village to resell the new cotton material given to them and earn two more, so that he could exchange it for the old ones for his three brothers.
So I didn't stop spending money this time. Being able to buy so much for less than one tael of silver seemed like a huge bargain. I took the initiative to step forward with my hands full and four old quilts on my shoulders.
After buying the old things, there are still six taels left.
Xu Tianxin spent another one or two silver dollars to buy all the pens, inks, paper and inkstones, but they were not very good, the ink smelled bad, and they were among the worst four treasures of the study on the market.
This was because next time she and Nai couldn't go out to deliver the goods, and they would have to write paperwork for Yuhuan Noodles and Qinsong before rushing to buy them all.
When Xu Tianxin entered the bookstore, he refused to spend any money, and he was unmoved despite the old lady Xu saying that the money was enough to buy a book. And to prevent grandma from spending money randomly, the remaining five taels of silver in grandma's pocket were temporarily confiscated.
This bookstore in Fucheng is huge, and there are many scholars inside who are copying books to make money.
So when the two of them and Xu Laosan went in, they only caused the waiter in the store to look at them a few times, fearing that they would steal books. They were the key targets of observation, but they were not stopped outside.
Xu Tianxin selected books introducing medicinal materials and treating women's diseases, and finally wrote down the titles of the two books on paper and handed them to Xu Laosan:
"Uncle Third, I don't feel bad if I don't buy books this time. Really, don't be depressed. Do you think I'm a month or two behind? I haven't learned anything for so many years. Wait until you make money next time you deliver goods Money, don’t forget to buy it for me.”
Xu Youcang solemnly placed the small piece of paper with the title on it close to his heart.
After comforting Xu Youcang, Xu Tianxin took her grandma to the pharmacy to grab some herbs.
Xu Tianxin knew that grandma's problem was that she didn't use facial oil, so he grabbed some medicine and made it himself, which cost less than half a tael.
Xu Tianxin asked the medicine boy to help him pick up seven kinds of herbs including Atractylodes rhubarb, Angelica dahurica, Bletilla striata, White monkshood and Bai Fuling to prepare Qibai ointment.
This is the whitening mask she temporarily selected among many recipes in the live broadcast room.
Choosing Qibai Cream also saves money. Because the facial cream recipe she uses during the day has many ingredients that overlap with Qibai Cream. There is no need to make a skin care product and just grab a medicine.
The facial fat recipe requires almonds, White Poria, White Poria, Angelica Atractylodes, etc.
The ingredients of Qibai paste, plus mulberry leaves and the high-strength liquor she is about to brew, as well as lard, are made into an ancient version of Vaseline, which is very useful in autumn and winter. You can buy these herbs to do two things for your face.
Xu Tianxin thought for a while, then wrote another note and handed it to Uncle Xu.
Xu Youcang was confused: "What is this?"
"Uncle San, take note of this pharmacy and help me buy these next time." This is the prescription list for shampoo.
I heard from family members in the live broadcast room that the fragrance of the shampoo made from these herbs can retain the fourth uncle, which is the secret to the big pig's hooves changing his mind. .q.
It can be seen that it will be delicious, but I can't buy it this time. I have to save money to buy some food and drink for accommodation on the road, and also buy some apples and pears.
After buying it all, they only had four taels of silver left to go home to use as cross-river money. If they ordered a lot of fish floss, their family would have to have the capital to collect the fish, and they didn't know how well the house was built and whether it would lack anything.
You can't be insecure like what grandma said by expecting the table full of grandma to come back and help you get money. Who knows if the grandma with a table full of goods is selling anything?
Mrs. Xu feels sorry for her granddaughter, and her child is planning to become a housekeeper. She has never had to worry about money before in modern times.
The night before departure, Mrs. Xu used the leftover sesame seeds from the last snack sale to make sesame paste to eat on the road. It was going to be cold when she returned, so she tried to make something warm.
Mrs. Xu was busy in the kitchen of the inn, thinking about going out to buy some white flour to make pot cakes to take with her, when suddenly gongs and drums started beating outside. People who live in the surrounding area and dressed in bright clothes are asked to come out to greet them. Girls are also asked to carry flower branches in their arms, and children sit on their necks and applaud, trying to convey a heartfelt welcome.
Mrs. Xu suddenly heard a lot of people discussing about welcoming a general. The general was about to be stationed in the north, and people were already outside the city and wanted to pass by here.
It was extremely noisy outside, and I heard that officials from all over the city were urging people to carry sedans or horsemen to hurry up and send them outside Shili Pavilion.
Also, the little official who came after him had no horses, so he lost his official hat in a panic and jumped back to pick it up.
At the same time, Liu Laozhu's eldest son's shop was close to the city gate, and the government officials lined up to open the city gate. The old man of the Liu family hurriedly grabbed a government official he knew and asked him what the general's surname was. He heard that the surname was the same as his father's.
When did his father become so capable?
So if this person was confirmed by his father, is it true that the mutual market is about to be opened?
