Chapter 13 Buying Hairpins

Fang Qing brought Zhang Zelin to the Silver Building. She saw some men wearing ornaments on their heads and hands on the street, thinking that Zhang Zelin didn't have a decent hairpin, so she planned to bring him to the Silver Building to buy one.

"Brother Lin, come down, let's go shopping."

Seeing the visitor, the second young lady of Yinlou stepped forward and asked, "The two of you want to see the accessories."

Fang Qing checked the contents of the cabinet, and it seemed that they were all silver hairpins and silver bracelets. "Look at the flower-shaped hairpin you like."

"Don't buy hairpins anymore?" Zhang Zelin waved his hands frightened by Fang Qing's words. He bought enough things today, so he can't buy any more.

Fang Qing looked at the man who was waving his hands in shock, and dragged him to the silver jewelry counter, "Little Miss, show me this pair of bracelets and hairpins."

The second youngest sister quickly took out the hairpin bracelet. Fang Qing picked it up and thought it was good. The hairpin was a peach hairpin. She didn't recognize the pattern on the bracelet. She thought the pattern should be the totem of this world.

Pull over the person standing there at a loss. "Brother Lin, try the bracelet, it's suitable."

"This..." Fang Qing sighed when he saw the man who was stuttering, raised his hand and put the bracelet on his hand.Um!Well, it fits just fine on the wrist. "Second sister, how much is the hairpin and bracelet?"

"Miss, this hairpin is four taels of silver, and this pair of bracelets is six taels of silver. The total is ten taels."

Zhang Zelin felt that it was a bit expensive after the second sister made an offer, so he hurried over and said, "Can't it be less?"

"My little brother, the things in our silver shop are all solid, unlike some shops where although the things are cheap, the hairpin bracelets are hollow, so the prices in our silver shop are all the same price."

Fang Qing picked up the hairpin and flicked it with internal force, and confirmed that what the little second sister said was true, took out ten taels of silver to the little second sister. "Brother Lin, you put away the hairpin bracelet yourself."

Zhang Zelin held the box that Fang Qing handed her, tears welling in his eyes, he never thought that one day he would own a piece of jewelry that belonged to him, but this person actually bought it for him.

"Okay, let's go buy some bolts of cloth, but there's nothing at home."

"Let's go now." Zhang Zelin held back his tears and went shopping with Fang Qing for the leftovers.

The two went to the cloth shop, Fang Qing picked out five bolts of cotton cloth in navy blue, blue, black, white, and gray.

"Boss, tell me how much the few pieces of cloth I picked are worth."

"Why did you buy so much cloth?" Zhang Zelin and Fang Qing asked with eyelids twitching as he picked so much cloth.

"Buy a few more horses and go home. We will keep two horses at home, and take the other three horses to Dad, who will make some new clothes for his younger brothers and sisters."

Zhang Zelin turned his head to the other side, thinking that this person always made his eyes red today.

Seeing that Zhang Zelin's eyes were slightly red, Fang Qing didn't know how to coax him, so she could only ask the boss physically, "Sister, have you figured it out for me?"

Seeing that Fang Qing sold a lot, the tailor owner happily quoted the price of the cloth. "Miss, this cotton cloth usually costs two taels of silver a piece, and the lady buys a lot, how about giving the lady a piece of one tael and a half?

Zhang Zelin heard that it was so expensive, "Boss, we buy a lot, so I won't talk about the price. You have to give us some needles, thread and rags."

The owner of the clothing store saw Zhang Zelin's red eyes just now, and thought that it might be the brother of the poor family who found this wife who loves her husband. The new wife buys cloth for her husband, and she likes a woman who loves her husband.

As for why he knew that Zhang Zelin was the younger brother, because Zhang Zelin still combed his hair like a younger brother, and did not comb his married brother's hair.

"Little brother, don't worry, I will take it for you." After speaking, he turned his head and said to Fang Qing: "Miss, these five pieces of cloth are worth seven to five hundred coins."

Fang Qing took out ten taels of silver from the space and handed it to the tailor owner, who then gave Fang Qing two to five hundred coins.

"Miss, here is your change. You take it away. This bag is for needlework, and this bag is for rags."

Fang Qing didn't know any rags, so she just took things. She and Zhang Zelin put the rags on the carriage, and they went to buy coarse grains.

Fang Qing smelled the scent of pastries on the street, couldn't help swallowing, and hurriedly stopped the carriage.

"Hey! What are you going to do?" Seeing Fang Qing suddenly stop the carriage, Zhang Zelin hurriedly lifted the door curtain and stuck his head out.

"I smell the scent and plan to buy some pastries." Fang Qing said to Zhang Zelin shyly.

"Boss, how do you sell your pastries?" Fang Qing got off the carriage and asked the pastry boss.

"Miss, my sweet-scented osmanthus cake is two hundred yuan a catty, how much would you like?"

"Weigh one or two silver coins for me." Fang Qing slobbered and said to the boss.

Seeing the melon farmers selling fragrant pears and watermelons at the pastry door, Fang Qing bought twenty fragrant pears and two watermelons.

After buying it, Fang Qing asked the fruit seller to give her a basket, and she carried two watermelons and pears back to the carriage. Seeing these two watermelons and these twenty pears, Zhang Zelin was so angry that he wanted to beat Fang Qing up.

"You... this pear is worth [-] Wen a piece, and the watermelon is worth [-] Wen..."

"Hehe! That's right! I want twenty, and the boss will give me five more. The watermelon is good to eat when I take it home in this weather."

"Zhang Zelin said directly with distress that this pear is too expensive."

"It's not expensive, I just want to eat it." While talking, he took out a few for Zhang Zelin, to taste the sweetness of the pears, and took a bite himself. "

Zhang Zelin took the pear that Fang Qing gave him. Seeing Fang Qing eating a pear, he took a look at the pear in his hand, and finally took a bite of the pear. Save money, she can't let her spend money lavishly when the two of them live together in the future.

The two parked their carriages and walked into the rice shop. The owner of the rice shop asked with a smile on his face when he saw the customer who had bought more than 100 catties of polished rice flour two days ago came again.

"Miss, what do you want to buy this time?"

"Give me fifty catties of coarse grains and fifty catties of rough noodles, and your price will be cheaper." Fang Qing walked in and said directly to the owner of the rice shop.

"Okay, okay, how about counting eight cents a catty for the young lady for the coarse grains and noodles."

"Okay, you load the carriage for me."

"If you buy so much, you won't be able to eat it all." Zhang Zelin said just now that Fang Qing can't live a life, and now he saw her proudly buying such a large amount of coarse grains.

"No, buy more, and I will come back to buy it after a few days to save money."

The owner of the rice shop asked Xiao Xiao to say hello, and asked the second young lady to carry Fang Qing into the carriage, and said with a smile: "Miss, the carriage has been loaded for you, and the total cost is [-] Wen."

"Brother Lin, do you want to prepare some candies for the banquet tomorrow?"

"Let's go buy some dried fruit, but you can't buy too much or you won't be able to finish it." Zhang Zelin thought that Fang Qing should prepare some dried fruit for the people who came to help cook, but he was worried that Fang Qing bought it Too many, hurry to the other side Qingdao.

The two came to the dried fruit, Fang Qing saw that there were peaches, almonds, persimmons, chestnuts, dates and other dried fruits on display, and thought that the types of dried fruits were a bit small.

The preserved fruit owner came out and asked, "You two, do you want to weigh some dried fruit?"

"How do you sell dried fruit?" Fang Qing saw that there were only a few of them, and she had no choice but to buy some back here.

"Miss, dried fruit costs twenty Wen a catty, and dried persimmons cost ten Wen a catty."
